Sometimes, you don't always make it to the end | snow hike with my dog 

the love you have for Nala is heartwarming🥺

One of the best RU-vid channels: A dog. Hiking. Nature. Beautiful views. Beautiful scenery and very well edited video.

Sometimes you don’t make it to the end but life is a journey, not a destination. What an amazing hike! 🐶🌸

The way she looks at you when you talk to the camera is heart melting ♥️

Smushes, stomps and zoomies. In a land where mischief and laughter unite, There lived a golden retriever named Nala, oh what a sight! With fur of gold, a mischievous twinkle in her eye, She journeyed with her master, beneath the vast sky. Her master, a merry soul, ready for some fun, Into the wild, their silly escapades begun. Nala, the jester, always ready to play, Together they ventured, in a comical display. Through valleys, hills and meadows they'd go, the ground covered with snow, Nala, oh dear Nala, a comedian within. She'd plop on his chest with a fluffy smush, Her way of saying, "Let's have a cuddly mush!" And off she'd go, in a whirlwind of delight, Zipping in circles, like a speedy satellite. With back paws that stomped, causing quite a stir, She'd dance and prance, a hilarious fur blur. In the wilderness, laughter echoed through the air, Nala's antics, a comedy show beyond compare. She'd chase her tail, a never-ending quest, While her master Chris chuckled, thoroughly impressed. When the moon shone bright, and stars twinkled high, Nala and her master would unleash their silly side. They'd love with smushes, stomps, and zoomies, no less, Their loving moves, a spectacle, causing much jest. Nala, the court jester, with a heart so merry, Her master, the ringleader, ready to parry. Through mischief and laughter, their bond would grow, A dynamic duo, spreading love, happiness and joy as they'd go. So let the world witness their comedic affair, Nala, the funny retriever, beyond compare. With smushes, stomps, and zoomies galore, They celebrate life, making us laugh even more.

Glad you posted it, Chris! Woohoo! We are stomping with Nala and Chris! 🎊 🎉

SO ADORABLE and loving how Nala comes to check on your @ 12:49 to see if your ok after your slip.. ❤

depression has really been kicking my butt for the past couple of months and watching you and nala makes me smile so much🥲🥲🥲 thank you for these videos🙏🙏🥰🥰

You’ve given this girl such a good life ❤

I am so glad you uploaded this ! This trip was magical. Snow, mountains, Nala... everything that there is needed to be happy. I loved this thank you.

Nala was so concerned when you fell what a sweetie

This channel will be so valuable and meaningful as the years pass and life continues to happen. All the beautiful memories lived and shared are quite astonishing to witness. I wish I had recorded more moments like this with my animal companion. Dogs really are the best partners for adventures. They just love to live and they love us so much more than we can understand. Thanks for sharing these moments.

I cant get my eyes off from nala She is adorable 🥰

Good job moving the goal post when you realized that it was too snowy to make it all the way up. Especially since the sun set before you made it back to your car, definitely a wise decision to turn around. I'm so glad you bring Nala on your hikes, I'm sure the smells and exercise are awesome for her! I love these longer videos, it's really interesting to see all of your tools for hiking. Like the chains you put on your shoes! I didn't know those existed but they make so much sense. Thank you for posting

About a month ago or so I told you I tried teach my dachshund Rolo to the Nala stomp but couldn't well he turned 15 years old at the end of May his health started to decline we had to make hard decisions to put him down on the 22nd of June it was really sad cause he loved going camping with us for the first time we went camping with no Rolo I just balled my brains out when we got to our camp site. But watching you and Nala helps me .

Yeah I love watching these. I hope you don’t worry too much about videos being “boring” or not. It’s easy to feel the genuine excitement you have for just going out and seeing the beautiful world with your dog.

I don't just love your dog, I love the way you love her. Dogs only have a short life but they pack in so much if you let them. Value her because you will never forget her til your dying day.

I'm from a tropical country; so it's unimaginable to me that you are walking around in all that snow in just a single layer of clothing for as long as you did. Nala came back to check on you when you fell! Awesome.

Nothing better than a bond between parent and puppy. I have a loving lab mix and she doesn't do much with mom. 🥰

That bonus clip!!!👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 Thank you for showing us the beauty of hiking including a good lesson in life!!

You and Nala have such a beautiful bond together💛. I love your adventuring videos with Nala. I love it how Nala just eats snow🐶❤️. Hope you are ok after that fall😅.

Absolutely love Nala , brings a smile to my face and joy throughout the day❣️💓

I wasn’t expecting any view at all but I’m glad you managed to get to a point with such great views despite not being the peak. Absolutely not a failure - making wise reevaluations based on safety is never a failure, thanks for showing that aspect of hiking as well. Great video 😊

Seeing you struggle a bit was actually encouraging. I watch your videos and think to myself that I could never do that. I could never hike that long. This guy is Superman! Turns out you are human and get tired too! ❤ 🐶 absolutely LOVE all your content.

Absolutelety gorgeous. And who cares if you did not reach the top, it was an amazing adventure. Thank you for sharing

I love that you showed us you’ll made it to the car safely. I like seeing Nala safe and sound…. And you too of course. She’s such a trooper and the perfect sidekick. 😊♥️🐕🙏🏾♥️😊

Thanks Chris + Nala. What an awesome hike this was! The views were magical and so pretty. I really feel like i'm there with you! I bet you both slept well that night ❤❤❤ Keep them coming please. Your videos are so therapeutic. I love hiking but cant do much these days for health reasons. Your videos are the next best thing to being there myself xx

The way Nala looks at you is pure unconditional love 🐕❣

I think the main thing is, that you enjoy life together and go out to nature and enjoy. No need to be perfect every single time. One step is better than no step! I see how much you two enjoy hiking and spending time together. I wish I could join and forget things from my head for one day. I wish I could hike to the top of random mountain and scream like bloody murder. I bet it would feel relieving.

Chris, it is never a failure to spend time with your loved ones, in this case "Blondie" . 😊 You are giving her the best life, and as many have already pointed out, the love between the two of you kist shines through. That is what we watch for, and the stomps of course. 😅

YESS!! I love that you posted this on a Monday Morning!! Perfect adventure to watch with the morning coffee!

Beautiful scenery!! I'm glad you didn't risk the final stretch! It's good to see you and Nala having so much fun together!

The best view watching your content Chris is Always Nalas smile especially when she’s in her element. Then to see the two of you. #smiles #winning 😍🐾⛰️🦮❤🥰👌🏼

Thanks for sharing Chris, the view was freaking unbelievable! I also love Nala's reaction at 11:10, love the attitude girl! Much respect from Adelaide, South Australia!👌👏🐨🦘

The fabulous, adverturing duo. Adorable! x

I really enjoy your posts, Chris. I'm living vicariously through you! I had 8 dogs over 25 years, and 5 of them were Golden Retrievers.... I see so much of them, and in particular, my Harley, in Nala with the sock obsession and swimming (oh, and the whoo-hooing!😅), another (Haylie) was completely obsessed with tennis balls, and she too would find them in random places when camping or walking on the levee. She would gather a number of them around her, nesting-hoarder-like, in her dog bed...😅she was so funny. We are dogless for now, our last passed in October. Watching your videos, briings, joy, laughter, and some tears... but tears of the love I felt for mine who were all loved so much and missed equally so. My best to you and Nala! Laura

I hope you realize how much love and joy you spread with your beautiful and touching videos ❤❤❤❤❤

Awww, Nala is soo cute and amazing, she's such a clever girl and towards the end the way she looks at her dad when he's talking is soooo cute!! You can see the love she has for him. You're amazing Chris, keep up what you're doing. Love from the UK ❤😊

Oh I'd be happy crying if I were there That is simply gorgeous I LOVE SNOW and Id love to be there. That's a sweet one too. We love you both take care. 💕

I'm so glad you posted this video. That was such a beautiful hike, absolutely amazing. I consider that a definite win, 100%! Nala seemed to totally enjoy herself, too ❤

I love the way you and Nala express your love for one another 😂♥️, and really connect with each other. I love these vlogs including binge watching your overnight camping trips 🤣.

Turning back at these conditions is not a failure. Considering the short duration of daylight left I would probably have turned back sooner, just to be safe. You reached a super scenic spot and had an awesome view. Pitty actually you didn't really have much time to linger and enjoy. I don't think you missed out on anything by not going all the way to the top. Thanks for sharing this after all. I miss being in the mountains in the snowy season. I haven't been able to go and we haven't had much snow in several years anyways. So, it's really nice to see you and Nala enjoying snow and mountains together.

You can tell Nala hangs on your every word! The love in her eyes for you is palpable!!!!!

Nala is so adorable and beautiful! L❤her!

The amount of love I feel when I watch you and Nala ....❤❤❤❤❤❤words cant express it

What a beautiful hike!!! I miss snow so much!!! The quiet beauty …..

Nala's confidence on these hikes is really great to watch. Some of those drops look a little concerning but it's like she knows where to go and where not to go :D And of course you've trained her so well to stay near you. Stunning views in this video! I can't imagine what it was like seeing that in person. You did awesome on this hike, man, congrats! (I actually really love the shot at 17:34 lol. I bet it wasn't fun to walk through but that's such an atmospheric and cool shot!)

Really enjoy your hikes with Nala. The views are amazing. Such a sweet relationship you have. I love that while you are enjoying the view, Nala is looking so loving at you.

Winter Wonderland! RU-vid is such a better place b/c of your channel. (I became an invalid 4 yrs ago, and I love (need) these videos. You are a lucky man to live in such a beautiful area and have such a great companion!)

Love your videos Chris 🎬 thanks for sharing with us🙏love you Nala ❤❤🧿🧿🥰😘 sooooooo very much 🤗

You never fail as long as you and Nala have a good time!! ❤ I am glad you are sensible and know your limits!! 👌

Well mate I was equal parts thrilled exhausted and terrified by your hike. Never bored. Your dog is spectacular ❤. Thank you so much for sharing.

Nala seems to truly love the snow. Her pace gets faster & she eats snow...which I do if I am at a higher elevation. Love your vids

💋❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️🙏🏼one of my favorite ones.

Fico impressionada de ver sua cachorra na neve e não fica doente

I love you my Nala girl ❤ and Chris you are amazing!!

I had a beautiful golden retriever few years back. It's good to see a happy dog with nice and calm scenery I hope your dog have a happy life for long long time with you.

So glad you posted the video!! Doesn't matter to us viewers what you accomplish or don't with Nala, as long as we get to watch you guys. Heck at this point we could just watch you lay down and pet NALA for a 30 min video 😂. I've had goldens my whole life and still do, & I love these videos 🥰 & i'm a backpacker as well 😎

The atmosphere is like in a movie LOVE it ❤

Love between you and nala is so real and heartwarming. Reminds me of me with my dog Bentley who I miss every second of every day. God bless you guys

I'm in awe, the view is so amazing 🥺. Another great adventure with Nala & Chris, THANK YOU for uploading it. No worries with the complaining, your safety and Nala's is more important to us. You did a great job 😀👍🏻 💕🇵🇭

I so love to watch vloggers who have great love for their dogs, cats, and other animals - being an animal lover myself who feed stray cats and dogs as well as rescuing helpless kittens and cats. In my experience, animals have genuine love for their carers. I have my 9-year old girl-dog, Porsche, and my 15 rescued cats. I spend a lot for their food and cat litter, but GOD provides. I also love nature - the trees, etc. All these are GOD-given creation.💜

Thanks for talking us along on your adventures!!

Thanks for sharing! ❤

Nala spinting through the snow and she found another dog to play with as well!😊❤

I am impressed with your videos and love your beautiful Nala!

aww how sweet Nala found a friend along the way! 🦮🩷

It is amazing to see someone who loves their dog as much as you do.

❤❤❤WE look 4ward 2 y'all every day. Y'all are everyone's heart ❤❤❤❤❤ You really don't know how much you mean to us ALL. YOU ARE THE BEST. TY ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I can't believe snow still. OMG

She's so cute. Love you Nala!

Love love love your adventures with Nala ❤

My heart is melting when ever I c her❤❤❤

Nala is a cutie. God bless you two. I can watch her videos for hours❤

Nala is AMAZING!!! Your bond is palpable. She watches your EVERY move and is LISTENING for words she knows. I’ve had (and still do have) dogs my whole life (I’m 55 on 6/29) and I know this bond with our dogs. But you and Nala are in a whole other class!!! Kudos to you both for adventuring, even when post-holing!!!

Sweet i love to see Nala is happy

Best bonus footage ever! 👍

We love you two Chris and Nala ❤️❤️

Look at god’s work 🤩🙏🏾

WOW that was One Spectacular feet of hiking!!! The views were absolutely amazing & Beautiful. Words can't begin to express the appreciation and OMG the risk you and baby Nala took to make this hike & video. Of course it was fun & exhilarating to say the least. Thank God you work out and thank God for the muscular legs, when you said your legs were burning i can't imagine the strain & pain. Again thank God your fit. It would have been possibly harder much more dangerous for a unfit individual. But thank you for a most wonderful and beautiful video, Very Grateful and so glad you two got home safely... next time 2 sets of gloves, one for Nala to have fun running away with, and one pair to protect your hands... Be Safe Sir Chris...

Any video of you two is great!

Stunning video and scenery. I love watching you and nala - your adventures and bond is amazing

When you're hiking with your best pal, it's all about the journey, not the destination! The views are incredible, but that silly golden butt was really the best part

She loves hiking with her Daddddddy!

Dogs make the best companionship 👍

I can’t..I just can’t…she is just the best😍 Such a good girl❤️ And so lucky to have you as her hooman😘

I had to keep reminding myself you both made it home OK. I was scared for you but couldn't stop watching! Xxx

I love how Nala frequently looks up at you. That's a doggie tuned in to her beloved owner. You two stay safe out there!
