LIVING IN A TENT w/ WOOD STOVE IN COLORADO: RELAXING MORNING W/ MY DOG NEXT TO A WARM STOVE 

That's the difference to most of us humans they do cherish the world and nature as it is. Unlike us they make the best out of every day and situation. Awesome video

I thought this too. Just warmth, food and company.

I wish women were like that

@@forexman4894 this comment is not the vibe. Don’t lump all into one. we don’t like when women say “all men” so why do the same to women? Dumb comment. My wife loves things like this and is happy no matter what. Find the right woman.

@@forexman4894 Wtf are you talking about I know more women who would do this before a man lol.

Hard to understand

Same! My husband just came in and I told him how awesome this looks. He said, “living in a tent is hard!”

I is da pappy, Boss!

@@tonym2513 what?

me too

Even when the dog has snow on him

yeah, that was my one smile in a year

@@John_Thompson no, it is his companion and friend, you freak.

I may be seeing things, but didn't he keep 1 of his dogs out in the cold?

You could do that on me ?

@@brodyblanc1516 damn you’re on the slow side eh?

Dogs are the best!

@@scottgames527 I thought he meant the tent reeks… like a dog. Unwashed dander, breath, gas. I didn’t think he meant because of feces 💩, which is the dog is most likely to prefer to do outdoors anyhow.

*dogs* ❤️

Better company than a fat humpa lumpa.

🙏🙏🙏

Oh yea, the book of Canine chapter 4 verse 7.

I kill and eat the stray dogs in my neighborhood.

Haha, I never thought of it like that!

A most poetic comment.

@@OffGridBackcountryAdventures - I’m looking to purchase a off grid tent which will fit a: stove, a large cot and 4 people. So I was wondering do you have any good recommendations on size, quality or ideas? Thanks I subscribed

@@OffGridBackcountryAdventures =your dog looks depressed==!

Everything is the most adorable thing no the topic of dogs when it comes to some women

I KNOW, I was like "awwww...lovely dog all cozied up".

Driving to Colorado to meet them? Lol jk.

I just love their relationship, I use to cover my cat too unfortunately she died a week ago I cried for days

@@kerry-ann.woodburn3440 I just had to put my cat to sleep. Maggie had squamous cell carcinoma in her jaw. I am STILL crying about it. I'm there with you. I also had a dog named Sierra.

That hit me right in the heart.

You said it, so true. A real friend

He has a bigger tent then I do! I've been in a tent for the last 6 years now in Colorado also. Had 2 dogs for friendship as well as family. The dogs were killed and dismembered by a guy that was watching them in July while I was working on a ranch. Now it's just me.

Yes thats his best friend for sure.

Absolutely ♥️♥️

@@geraldmartsy2165 it figures

and the man keeps it all ticking over !

The dog really makes the video cute.

aww

@@crocodile1313 me tooo

Agreed. I would put one of those blue tarp covers over the tent, would keep it even earmer

@@filmfelineadmin eh, doesnt really need it if you got a wood stove Even a little one, in a small, contained area like that, his tent is prolly hot af lol

Dont go camping

@@thargor6750 why would you say that camping is great everybody should do it

you should go itll help with anxiety at least it helped me

Yes, that "feeling"... It's an exact feeling that I believe only some people feel. Watching this video brought back the yearning for it. Some day...

I am youngest girl of 5 kid family. We spent many weekends out camping as a big family. Even after all us kids moved Away & got married, we would still get together to go camping. I'm 40s now & miss it so much. I'm lucky because I do live in rural area of WA state & only a 35-40 minutes drive from mountains so camping has always been a past time. I still try to my husband & kids to go out once a year or two. You never get too old for camping...you just need softer mattresses😂❤

@Dawg not dog old fart!

@Mostly peaceful shooter yea same i just won’t fucking die

I felt it when i was 15 bowhunting in Washington state i went out on a mountain bike one morning and the deep woods makes you feel small.

I agree with you Daniel, dog lovers are a pretty good bunch! Having Sierra with me on these adventures has made things so much more fun...her happy, infectious demeanor always gets me up and moving even on the days when I feel like sitting around. She's such a great companion! ~ Brian

Animal lovers in general.

Agree🥰

Some people value pets more than humans so I wouldn’t use that as a determining factor lol. But at least you know they have compassion.

@@scorpionattitude so true

What kinda tent is it

Any big foot sightings lol

How did you bath. And use the restroom. How did u wipe.

Hey Timothy A, thanks for watching! I really enjoy sharing my winter camping experiences with everyone. It's really relaxing to spend time in this warm tent, especially when it's snowing outside. The solitude and slow pace of life in these conditions is what I truly love. Have a great evening ~ Brian

Being alone in nature is the best therapy. And it's free

@@OffGridBackcountryAdventures what kind of did you use it’s a very cool tent

Well, therapy makes you confront nasty things about yourself you've been avoiding your whole life. Of course this is more relaxing.

Yeah definitely therapy for me.

Dogs and humans have been comrades for thousands of years.

Love to all dogos

Amen!!

Mathew Posa takes his dog(s) along too. I am gonna make a video spoofing you guys and your dogs. Go miles back in the bush, dig a hole in the snow for the shelter cook gourmet food over a campfire and drink a craft beer. Joe Robinet does it too. A senior such as myself would make my dog wear men's socks instead of booties, cut the can of beans open with a hunting knife and start the fire with a blow torch.

It's the size of a small 1br house, it really is badass, I could brave the cold as long as I had a wood stove or 2 in there, one at each end of the tent, I'm an animal lover and his dog is well behaved, great pet, she's a keeper, and good at protecting him I'm sure

I Know!!😊

Goodass !

What kind of tent is this?

The big horn 3 is a good looking tent

My wife always said that to me. I could bring her breakfast in bed, scratch my furbabies on the head and she would complain. So, I would scratch her on the head and give her food to the doggies.

Start a RU-vid channel

How did you avoid hypothermia? That's what I'm most worried about, how I'll keep warm

@@MO-fi8kp judging by the non response he didn’t. Lol

@@MO-fi8kp First of all. Why are you on this channel? This guy is taking a literal vacation. He isn't surviving anything. Shelter is how you avoid hypothermia. Essentially, you'll have to get lucky enough to find the face of a cave or develop the skills to build a proper structure that can house a small fire. Learn about working with natural clay. How to make your own cord. If you can develop and create any semblance modern life from things around you. You want to learn how to do those things. Dress heavy before you set out, and most of all. Understand that you're gambling with your life going into the wild, and that there are zero guarantees of survival. The only way to improve your odds is by shortening your time out there.

I think it's interesting how that sort of silence has a sound

Snow the sound absorber. I love it. Pure silence, sounds so loud 😊

@Robert Rocca what a weird response. Hahaha

Big time

Agree. Division and hatred. Love this and it proves my point on giving up TV and 24 news cycles. Peaceful channels like this is all I need

lol :)

@Mike Fitzpatrick clearly you need more education just by looking at your grammar

Yeah, of course you wouldn't want to have a part in hauling every three days that dirty huge pile of custom made dry fire wood in just to stay alive. Yeah, sure, reading! While you have to feed the oven every half an hour at least to not freeze to death instantly. What you mean is renting a serviced mountain cottage or hooking up with a guy taking care of all that. Lol

Rain. Pretty much the elements

Rain on a tin roof is awesome

@Guy Grove you can hear snowfall on a tent…. That was the entire point of the comment. No need to be toxic

@@forexman4894 Yeah we have one over our bedroom. I love it when it rains at night!

Nah its just a fairy tale

Dogs are excellent judges of character. And the affection a dog gives to its owner, lets you know exactly how good a person he/she is.

Your comment made me wish winter camping season was here again! I too love going on dawn walks with my dog and absolutely love being out in the snow. Having the stove is a huge bonus and I look forward to getting into winter backpacking this season. Hope your summer is going good in Massachusetts, only 4 more months before winter will set in. Can't come quick enough!! ~ Brian

@@OffGridBackcountryAdventures couldn't agree more!

@@OffGridBackcountryAdventures winter backpacking sounds like a great time! I'm looking too get my younger kids into a powerless cabin in the snow this year and use that too start getting them ready for tent camping! Unfortunately it's been unseasonably wet this summer, last month we had 4 more inches of rain than our previous record. Its created a real hazard around alot of areas here. Hoping the fall is way more forgiving this year! Happy camping brother and god speed!

Ugh. You’re killing me. I can’t wait to do exactly what you described. Those morning walks. Living large

Yes that mans tent with the wood-stove and his doggie is a pretty good setup if you have to live in the woods. I wish them both the best.

I'm wondering how often during one week he has to go for a new pile of wood and where he gets that from. Nice to see him eat that "locally harvested" tasty seasonal avocado. Not hating, but the amount of unrealistic romanticism in the comments here is on an unbelievable level. At least his car is also big enough for the food he will need for moving around during the day to get warm. Where's all the green new dealers complaining about the lacking insulation and all the emissions out there in that "habitat".

Yeah, that's what Goldie the German shepherd felt about Adolf, too, when he was staying in his house in the mountains.

Why would he?

Reminds me of Harry Potter

well just change it. not that hard.

@@1024det Do it

All you gotta do is simplify your meals. When I grocery shop for my weekly trips I only buy sweet potatoes and meat, and sometimes different fruits. Monthly trips for ancillary shit like grass fed butter, spices, olive oil etc. Every day I eat fresh eggs, meat, sweet potatoes. Cheap, high protein, filling,, nutritious, grocery shopping/cooking/dishes are no longer a chore. One pan, one fork and knife.

@@1024det you have the money for the luxury apt. You surely have for tent and camping supplies. Do it! Reconnecting with nature is a godsend. For me after 2 days i feel like battery recharged 100%. Then from day 3 to day 10 it evens out, but more subtle psycological improvements happen. Its wonderful.

@@jacobpimentel4596 did you just call Mary Ann man? I bet he hates that.

@@Flint-Dibble-the-Don lolol

Agreed and why would you even want to.

@@anns1921 Well, I would enjoy a dog company there while in a tent, but I wouldn't want to adopt a dog just for this experience. Part of my strategy in life is to have fewer irreversable commitments and either dog or a child is a form of that commitment, where once you commit to it you can't change your mind, you're now responsible for it until the rest of their life. Having either lowers your freedom and mobility. Having a pet is like a mini version of having a child (I had a dog for 15 years). I loved it a lot and I still keep its food bowl where it was, but I now want neither children nor pets.

@@danielevergreen1133 You have no idea how shallow that sounded huh

@@ObfcrewOz Shallow in what way? Firstly, my childfree position is based on two core beliefs: that having children has worse outcomes both on group level and on individual level. I'm a utalitarian. Thus, I believe that every decision is either good or bad, based on its outcomes. On group level, either the world needs more people or it doesn't. In other words, either it becomes a bit better, as more people are added, or it becomes a bit worse. Some estimate that the optimal number of people is 1.5 to 2 billion, which is 4 times the current amount; in any case, it's hard to argue that the wold needs even more. So as more and more people are added, it becomes a bit worse. Isn't the definition of "selfishness" doing something at the expense of the group? If you make the world a bit worse with that decision, what are you? So I hope I've convinced you that not having children is, at the very least, not selfish, and, furthermore, it can be argued that having children is. I'll even mostly skip the common elifist position, which I don't subscribe to, but resonate with, that existince is not inherently good for the thing that exists. But, to give you a taste of it, my dog had congestive heart failure. It means that it was slowly dying. As heart fails, it starts to suffocate because fluid build-up in the lungs. I had to make the decision at what point my dog's life becomes worse than living, and it will require euthanasia to end its suffering. "Interesting" question, right? At what point does suffering from living starts to become worse than pleasure of living? If somebody were to live with a cloth over their face, and slowly more and more water is added to it, as they are getting waterboarded alive, and the only future prospect is only more water getting added, then at what point being alive becomes worse than being dead? At what point do you suffocate alive too much? Had to make those decisions several times in my life, not a big fan of that question. Have you had a depression? A lot of people have and they have to make a decision whether their suffering is worse than the pleasure they get from living. Have you even been dying from cancer? When you die from cancer, as my relatives were, there also comes a point where you have to think about similar things. So even beyond the group level, there's no guarantee that for any individual, their existence is better than them not existing at a point in time. Furthermore, many argue that that point is much closer than that, to the point that making concious beings is immoral from the start. Plenty of common philosophical traditions view life as mostly suffering, most prominent being Buddhism. To them, even seeking pleasure is a form of suffering. I don't necessarily agree with them, but I just wanted to illustrate that it can be argued that existence is not inherently good and thus creating children or pets is not inherently good. On an individual level, children make people less happy, as shown by science over and over again (so-called parenting happiness gap). So imagine that somebody is selfish and they want to contribute to the world becoming increasingly overpopulated. Well, science shows that it won't even make them individually more happy than they would be without children. But it is already a fat comment, so I'm going to stop at this. So, by irreversable commitments, I mean exactly this. Imagine having children and then recognizing that it is not good for anybody: it derailed your life and made you less happy than you could have been, and it made the world only a bit worse. You can choose a bad job, and leave it, you can choose a bad relationship and leave it. But if you bring another conscious creature into this world, you can't undo it. I think it is okay to recognize that some moments are absolutely better with that creature, despite that, as a whole, the cummulative price payed might not justify those moments. By the price, I mean both on the group level (in case of a pet, contributing to pets being bred) and on the individual level (the personal price of having to take care of that creature, the life mobility it takes away from you, and then having to slowly watch it die).

@@danielevergreen1133 TLDR. Enjoy ageing alone haha.

@Mike OBrien , Hello Mike...it's a good 37 year's ago since i had that adventure. I was alone at night but i got regular visit's from family member's of my own generation. I had a two man tent and a tarp for extra protection...also i used some dead branches too. And i always only had small fire with a block so no light could be seen at night. The location is about 1mile west of Blanchardstown village close to Mullhudart last town before you cross into County Meath.

I actually think I know the spot as well stayed pretty close to there in August

There’s a spot closer to the lake out there that’s you walk down about 1500 feet and it comes out to a ridge on both sides while your facing the east makes for a pretty bad ass sunrise
