Moving Back to My Cabin Home in the Woods! (Then the Dog Disappeared.)

- I've spent nearly every day of the last 4.5 years camping alone in the Michigan wilderness and I never want to leave again. Living solo, off grid with a Bernese Mountain Dog just can't be beat. Unfortunately this dog is going to need a gps tracking collar if I don't want him to run off again.

My Saturday morning feels normal again. Welcome Home Buddy!!!!!
Been worried about you... thankful that you are back. Cheers.
The way you felt after coming back into Ringworm after being gone so long is how I felt when I saw the Ringworm notification this morning!!!
You’re very fortunate somebody didn’t steal her !! Whoever picked her up is a good person. There is still some good people in this world.
I'm glad you're back!! Kyper wants to go back to city life and to his friend Violet!!
Glad to see you back. Screw the videos, your health and wellbeing is more important
100% , I've had 2 spine surgery, he needs to let stuff relax and heal up, I busted a disk cause of a pulled muscle once and it was sause I didn't take the time to care for myself and let it heal up and the swelling bulged the disk and it ruptured ,
I am glad your are back.
Ryan it's your fault Kiper strayed. You go MIA then Kiper decides to try it. Maybe neutering both you guys will keep you home 😂😜. Glad you're both back.
Hello Ryan good to see you back and feeling better 👍💕❤️🥰💖🇺🇸🙏
you can get a geofence collar Ryan... you set the boundaries on your smart phone as to how far he can go.. and thats it.. the collar will buzz when he gets close to the "geofence" as a warning.. but will deliver a shock if he crosses that border. its a very effective system for folks in the outback or offgrid
Do they make those where ya don't need wifi?
@@XxBrMagicxX there are some out there that dont need wifi.. or just need it for the setup and then not after
Tried that with one of my Pitties. The only pup that never stayed close. Did not work. She took it ad a game. But, she also would walk through high tensile electric cow fencing too. She would have areas on her nose burned off of fur, but just kept walking through. Odd thing, other than when she felt like a vacation, she had to practically be in my back pocket.
Pathfinder GPS collar works great for my hound.
and it lasts over 12 hours...
You may be surprised on how much water that roof will capture, especially if you connect the gutter on each side. A rain barrel and a water filter would make the water potable.
You beat me to it! Your point is correct -- one can "catch" quite a bit of water from even a small roof surface.
Get an IBC tote (food grade) and a basic two-stage filter, bada bing, free water for gardening, showers, bathing the dog.
With a better filter, perfectly potable.
A filter isn’t going to get the chemicals from the asphalt shingles out. You really shouldn’t collect water off a shingled roof for drinking/showering. You could use it for other things
Now that he is getting gutters, it would be a price, but his best bet would be to replace the shingles with a metal roof. MUCH easier to collect water off of a metal roof and I'm sure he would love the sound.
@@charlesmcknight6792 the shingles were “basically free” so it wouldn’t be THAT big of a loss. Also the roof is tiny
He is gorgeous 🐶
Glad your back home big worm. That’s a tough situation with Kyper but I’m confident you’ll work it out.
Hey, Ryan they make a child alarm that you could but on Kuiper’s collar that pings you when it gets a set distance away from you. If I can find a link to a where you can get one. I’ll post it to the comments. Glad to see you back!
Good to see you back
We're so happy to see you! Hope your back is doing better! 🫂
Kyper has gotten quite a bit bigger. You look like you lost some weight. I wish you'd set up a p.o. box and an amazon wish list. I know you dont want help, but I'm sure a lot of your viewers would love to help with gifts. It's not asking for help. On the contrary. Sharing is caring. 🙏
Welcome back! We missed your face. As hard as that may be to believe.
So glad you ok ❤❤❤
The King of the Ring is back!!!
Welcome back Ringworm. Good that you’re in good health.
Nice to see you back mate. I hope your back is ok. Look after yourself
I feel your pain and anxiety when your dog goes missing. Pit of the stomach feeling. Thanks goodness someone turned him in! Stay well and heal with gusto!
Thank god you are ok. We love you brother.
Welcome back! I hope your back is on the mend. I used to get up early on Saturday morning to watch Bugs Bunny and Road Runner. Now look what I'm up to!
Hoping your back heals well.
I've been through it.
It's Aweful.
The Tetter Inversion Table is Worth Every Penny For Me.
My sweet boy Sparty just passed away. Seeing you and your dog cheered me up. Thanks.
Binged a bunch of your videos...great content.
Welcome back to our host and welcome back to us all.
You have a runner. He will not charge no matter what you do. You will no longer be able to leave him unsupervised. I have two 140 pound 4 year old Anatolian shepherds. I know, I have always had dogs in my life
Have you looked into the invisible fence to keep the boy home?? Glad you’re back with your back!!!
First I wept a little bit. Then I ate my breakfast while watching the escapades at the worm…and everything seemed right again on a Saturday morning.
Thank you and welcome back!
Glad you're still kickin'!
Good to see you back Ryan. Take it easy.
Just a quick note, When you open a paint can or varnish or what ever, take a screwdriver (your choice) and drive it through the seal where the lid goes, into the can.(3 or 4 times) This will let the fluid drain back in the can and not harden to the point where the lid won.t seal...
So happy you are taking care of yourself & thankful you’re back at your happy place!
Slow & easy is the key to full recovery & of course listen to your caregivers & your body.
Glad to see you are feeling better, you've both grown a bit, I'm just so glad told my wife I was going to have to call local sheriff depth to do a welfare check on you, might have to link you to our Life360 buddy. Now you plan your party week, be good at it too.
Nothing makes you feel like a bad parent faster than getting the naughty dog call. LOL I had a rescue GSD who was a critter chaser. She'd get focused, put her nose down, and end up miles from home. She didn't mean to run off. It was the critters fault! LOL Her record was almost 25 miles. Tried everything and ended up fencing 10 acres with a 9 foot fence for her. She could do a standing leap over an 8foot fence. Hope the collar works for you!
Love the dad dog energy. Glad you're back❤
Welcome “back”! I missed you while you were gone but I am glad you’re doing better. I can identify with back issues because I had L4 & L5 herniated and was laid up for months.
Glad to see you back. Glad to see Kyper safe!
Glad you're feeling better and you got Kyper back safely.
Welcome home!
Glad you’re feeling better, this channel is awesome!
Saturdays aren’t the same without you. Glad you’re back glad Kuiper’s home safely. I’m looking forward to more adventures.‼️‼️ glad you are OK
Been worried sick. Glad to see you up and about, Saturdays are sad without you! Stay healthy out there
Glad to see you back in your dream home 😄
Hope you are feeling better. Try to take it eazy for awhile.
Welcome back. So good to see you both take care of your back. No heavy lifting !!
Welcome back, sir! Sassy dog! Let's just creep back into stuff. Kyper is being a dog. May have seen something and took off. Lost it, chased the scent. Forgot what he was doing, lost his bearings? Never been off the homestead. Maybe an excursion to the borders and back so he's a bit more familiar with safe and unsafe. It takes 3 - 5 times for a dog to grasp a concept and have it stick. A little training time in borders is in order, then he'll be fine. Again, glad to see you back.
Glad you're back!
Glad to see you back and that you and the pupper are ok!
Be blessed Ryan.
So glad to see you are doing better. remember to take it easy. It will take longer than you think to recuperate.
Good to have you back! Was worried you really messed up your back! Take it easy and enjoy!
So glad you are BACK‼️‼️‼️
Glad your back is on the mend. Welcome back!
Thanks again
It said 1 minute ago, hi from aussie and hi to the pup
Very happy to see you back 😊 Viewer for 3 years
So glad you posted today; thank you for the video; sorry you have to suffer the back issues; been there and done that (surgery in my case) and it is no fun. Kuiper is absolutely handsome and he's bound to "try" you a bit. Part of having an wonderful dog. Very glad you're back to doing what you're doing. My magnifier device (just like yours) is right in front of me, "Old Ass eyes", right on! Mine are 80 this year, eyes I mean. Envious as hell of your Ruger 22's; Canadian law makes ownership close to impossible so enjoy; plinking should be part of life...lol.Be well my friend; wishing you freedom from back pain!
Welcome back. Hope you are on the road to healing❤
My Flat-coated Retriever did that to me twice, off leash in the woods, chasing a deer. Walked around Calling him for a half hour, both times he came back, but that was a scary half hour!! Those dogs are smarter than you might think, and they can learn to stay with you with time and proper training.
I could see your heartbreak and concern in your face when you were bringing Kiper back. Glad he had a tag so they could call you. What to do.....what to do. Glag to see you back. 🙏❤️🙏❤️
Yay!!! Happy to see you back!
Glad 2 see you back Mr. Worm.
Take it slow with the bad back.
I’m with you ready 4 cooler weather.
Would love to live in the sticks like that we have been looking in our area for 2 years now just haven't found the right one yet but they say good things come to those who wait so we have I believe strongly that we will know the minute we step on the property if its the one for us God bless you on your journey thank you for sharing part of ur life with us
Glad u found Kiper ❤
Saturday's are Normal now !!! RYAN glad your BACK !!!
Welcome home, Ryan and Kauiper!! Wonderful to have all the support while away. YAY, Party Week!🎉 Heal well...👍🇨🇦😎🐾🌸🐞🥇 P.S. Thanks for all the guffaws and chuckles...the world needs a good laugh!✨️🔨 And...I get a TON of water off my tiny shed roof....
If you're gonna gutter , I'd use a rain barrel and hook to it, then you'll have more water at your disposal and easier to access.
Yes, even a little bit of water is better than none. Put a fine screen at the top to filter the water thru. You can still boil it if you want to....
Glad you are back and I’m so glad you got Kyper back. Since you got Kyper, I’ve been thinking to myself that you need to get him an invisible fence. Now that you have learned your lesson, and he is safe, please get him an invisible fence. It’s one thing for him to run off and be found by a caring person, but what if he was found by a bear? That would have been an absolute disaster and you would never forgive yourself. Why am I telling you this?, you are a smart guy, you already know this. I love your channel and I look forward to every Saturday morning, please keep your dog safe. He is an absolute joy to watch every weekend. He is getting huge.
Nice that you're back. Good video as usual. Re your dog taking a culture trip. Very possible just a one-time thing. The gps will give you peace of mind while you find out. Good luck.
Great to see you back, my friend and my dog friend! You look good
Nice to see you back Ryan. Hope all is well.😊
Glad you are doing better, Ryan! Missed you, and was a little worried, but knew you were a fighter and would be back, Fight the good fight, my Friend!
Great to see you back at the worm.
Get a tracking collar. If he takes off you can find hin on the app or even set alarms when he's too far away from you. Worth the $$ especially in your situation. ..... watched a bit more. You know about them 😅
Glad to see you back! Slow and easy till you're at 100% 👍 Tent fly: Is there a UV protection type thing you could spray on it to keep it from sun rotting??? Enjoy your peace and privacy!!! Stay safe!
Kyler might need a buddy so that he doesn't wonder off looking for another dog to wrestle. Welcome back. Glad to see you're better.
Major "Howdies", I feel Your Pain, have the same issue, low back disk smushed plus arthritis in left hip, take it day to day, oh yea, I'm older than dirt...good to see you back, keep smiling !!
It's great to see you back Ryan. We missed you the last couple weeks. Keep in mind that if you are having a bad day or week, you could always put on some of your first videos. I would rewatch your whole series. It would mean views for your videos and keep your channel active I would just do a quick intro video that you could add to any of your old videos just to let us know that it is an old one.
God’s Blessings 🙏🙏❤️❤️🙏🙏 to you and friends! Best of Luck with kippers antics! 🙏🙏 for your back improving!
New and interesting sniff came in on the wind.
I’d love a place like that
Glad my friend you are back i been watching you for years so take care of that back.
For any new construction, even remodeling, the openings you make should be square etc. Regular hinges should be all you need. If you need to buy hinges that can lower, raise level plumb door in opening, maybe take a level out there with you. Even a framing square works . Framing sq when used properly, can replace needing a level.
Welcome back Man!!
I missed you 2!
Glad it worked out with your doggie.
Welcome back! I hope your back heals up soon!
Good to have u back. Nice to follow u hunting for a good camping spot. Be nice to ur back and stay safe during the party ❤🎉
Glad to see you are back on here . I hope all is well for you.
So glad you are back
Good to see you! Hope you are feeling better…you have been missed😊
Split the door in half so that one door swings against the cabin and the other one toward the outside. That will reduce the weight of each door. Also fill in the triangle above the door so it is fixed in place. The doors will not be as high but the dog should be able to still fit through the doors.
glad you are back at it bud....cheers!!
Glad your back!
Thanks Ryan for making Saturday morning something wonderful to look forward to. You're the breast !!!

Glad to see you back. That pup is getting huge. You take care of yourself. Prayers!
So glad you’re back in the woods!
My favorite dog insight book is The Other End of the Leash, I highly advice you listen on audiobook if you’re interested.
From my experience it is very normal for all dog breeds about 6-9 months to run off, maybe some particular dogs do not, but the norm is to explore and hop from one interesting thing to the next till they are way out there. Glad he’s back with you 😊
Yea!!! I’m so glad to see you both.
So glad your back and doing better, you are one happy man
I live in the mountains of Idaho & had a Lab- Bernese up until last year he lived 13 years. I had a similar experience. Has he ran ahead of me on a trail I stepped off the trail about a foot in the trees. And he thought that I had left him and he came running by me at about Mach 2 and ran all the way home. Basically he panicked and went wherever he thought I had gone. And I would lay money that Kyper add a similar experience especially after being gone from the property. I'm glad you're feeling better. I've been very concerned. So glad to have you both back. The GPS collar is a great idea also if he isn't chipped I would think about that. I had my dog stolen twice. And I had to hunt him down by going door-to-door. Not a great feeling.
Glad you’re back! We missed you!
