  • My dog Summit and I started from journey's end heading south. We got more snow than anticipated but the unknown is always the most interesting part of the journey. Join us for 3 days and 2 nights out on Vermont's long trail in the winter.
    Everyone is asking what type of dog, He is a mutt with my guess of Belgian Malinois/Lab.
    And no we don't carry weapons with us as there is nothing to fear out there but yourself.

    I think the most beautiful thing about this video is the chap's relationship with his dog. It's wonderful to see!!

    I almost fell off the couch when you signed in piss! I just thought, "What an awesome guy! He does not care about conventions and will walk his own trail from time to time." Great video, and I love your co-star, Summit. Reminded me of A hike I made in 1979 to the top of South Sister (10,000+ ft.) with my dog, Basquo, a Great Pyrenees. He beat me to the top of the mountain, and when I made it to the top, Basquo was panhandling from this other climber.

    never thought I'd be so camp deprived I'd be watching a guy camping on TV. can't wait for the next go. I've camped in the snow and it was fun, also done some solo camping when I needed to make big decisions, and reset mind and body... get out to Cali and hit the Sierras, see ya on the trail.

    Great vid my friend! Any adventure where you live to try a new adventure in the future is a successful trip! We all have a short term goal when we venture out into the wild such as getting from point A to point B but the long-term goal is making it out alive. Good call on turning back when you no longer wished to continue forward.

    Nice story. Winter camping is the best. The muffled sound of the forest covered in snow. The tracks of wildlife all around. One tip I've learned winter backpacking in Oregon-if it is early in the season, you can clear off the snow to bare ground and really increase your warmth.
