    Part 2
    ESCAPE FROM THE MOUNTAIN
    The final night in a snowstorm mentally preparing to pack up in the morning and walking off the mountain. Digging a tent out by hand takes some doing! A snow shovel will be the best tool in this situation whereas I just had patience and positivity but fitness also helped.
    Stay safe out there as winter can be harsh and unforgiving so be prepared with the right gear.
    Enjoy!

    watching you pack up blue in a pooch was ideal because you were going to dig out the pegs/stakes and tent so time would have been long. so blue would not get cold or frozen that was a nice bit of comfort for him. love this kind of tent liveing, like you said being in a cacoon so comforting. food/book/movies/shelter/sound of wind/dog, ah the life. even being out side is heaven to me in that kind of weather. i'm a cold liveing person.

Having Blue with you for companionship was helpful I’m sure. I feel sorry for the wildlife that live in that area. But I’m sure they know where to hunker down to keep safe and warm. Thank you for sharing your adventure with us. Continue to stay safe.

    Like you said the guys that climb Everest , K2 and all rest of the big mountains are amazing when you think they have little oxygen and experience extreme cold, snow blindness, exhaustion, and risk getting avalanched. Beyond words! I climbed mount blanc 21 years ago at night and that was probably the hardest thing I’d done, but we have to try these adventures. You are living the life and lucky to be doing these adventures so keep going and thanks for sharing them with us and stay safe. I think blue is a qualified mountaineer now, he should get a medal.

    My Australian Shepherd/Blue Merle Collie would sit outside in the snow in -20f in Michigan, she liked it and did not want to come in the house. Absolutley loved very cold and bad weather and wanted to be out in it.

    • @BUSHMANandBLUE
      @BUSHMANandBLUE  2 года назад +1

      Yes and a few people have said I’m cruel! Certain dog breeds like collies are so hardy they need the stimulation! 👍👍👍

    • @David_Avidmind
      @David_Avidmind 2 года назад

      @@BUSHMANandBLUE Yes, sorry people are saying you are cruel, I guess I made my comment because I felt people would make that observation. They are just misguided, in their heads they think they mean well, just not too good at lateral thinking. I guarantee Michigan is colder than anywheree/anytime in the UK (having lived in both) and people walk their dogs in weather colder than Blue was in. If people did not walk their dogs here because it was cold and snowing they would be thought of as lazy and cruel. Now I did have a Pitbull/Lab mix and she was only happy above 50 deg F, but she had a very thin coat.

    • @BUSHMANandBLUE
      @BUSHMANandBLUE  2 года назад +1

    Saw some of the comments on the previous video about concern for the dog. But I mean, you can so clearly see that the two of them have a really special bond. I couldn’t in a million years see the owner - who obviously loves his dog to bits, deliberately putting it in any risk it couldn’t handle or not having the dogs well being in mind. Really great and exciting video. Really enjoyed it! Thanks for that!
