  • On THIS backpacking trip, we set up a basecamp, make alpine sangria with wild berries, get stuck in a thunderstorm at 10,000ft of elevation, and Barron is forced to hike 12 miles to safety after becoming severely sick through the night. Food poisoning?

    I definitely agree with the assessment that Barron getting sick was berry related, or possibly bacteria in water. I eat those pre packaged foods ALL the time and never had a problem.
    However the berry and water on hikes can effect everyone differently. It’s possible he just ate the wrong berry… or one that was not washed properly!

    Your transparency is awesome.

Plus take a cue from Elsa, and her wholesome meals. LOL.

    You guys ever tried dehydrated soy flakes as a good meat substitute? It’s easy to carry and store. No flavour of its own so it’s really versatile. Nice chewy tuna/mince meat kind of texture depending on what you do with it. You just add boiled water. Lots of protein.

    So glad Baron survived that. Perhaps it was from the spices in that food he was eating that caused his bowels to have issues. It was a beautiful area you were camping in, and what a gorgeous lake and 🌈. And kudos to Elsa for hauling more than her fair share. Talk about stamina and endurance for you both. It takes a strong and determined mind when the body is sick and hindered, Baron 12 miles in that condition, EPIC. You two are the sweetest power couple. EDIT: If ever in that situation again, may I suggest you please take an herb called Slippery Elm along with organic aloe vera juice.

I see he touched it in the video. Maybe not the food pack afterall., 2) after watching several videos, you are an incredible narrator and story teller.

    Mushroom oils can be absorbed through the skin. Mushrooms with poisonous and hallucinogenic properties affect a person just by being touched or handled because the oils are highly potent and easily absorbed through the skin. I now wear gloves to spore print or checkout mushroom gills because of a mild hallucination episode after handling a mushroom for just a minute or so.

    Funny, we always say our cat is more like a dog-totally recognizes his name & comes running when we call him, well especially when my husband does, probably bc he’s in love w/him for consistently grooming him

      My cat loooooves to be groomed while eating, he calls both me and my mom to groom him while he eats. Started desensitizing him when he was little and now he is literally obsessed almost 11 years later ☺️💕

    Great video, loved the scenery!! Glad Barron made it through his ordeal. I had food poisoning while camping; ONE bite of a bad sandwich made for a very miserable night and a trip to the hospital to help get rehydrated!
    By the way…noticed Barron’s reading choices on his Kobo reader; “Hatchet “ is one of my favourite; make sure to also read “Brian’s Return “ and “Brian’s Winter “!!

    Such a bad sick day. I gotta say, I’ve always stayed away from MRE type meals after which I had a very similar experience. All the preservatives and additives can’t be good, right? After that, I always go the route Elsa did, which is to say I piece my meals together myself. I’ve never had another sick day on trail. I hope you’ll have a chance to get on the trail again and really enjoy it - no sick, no rain, good company, weather and food. Glad you’ve feeling better.

As always enjoyed! Keep up the good work!

    I looked up those red mushrooms- any chance touching them along the way would contribute to the sickness ?

    The scenery was fabulous. Great video as was very well done. I also appreciate the reality of your honesty to share the good with the bad. Very sorry Barron got sick. Poor guy. That just had to be the worst. Like just put me out of my misery and bury me here! In the end though, another adventure even though with parts you never want to repeat. I am doing the Northville-Placid Trail in the Adirondaks in sections. I’m 75. We do slow very very well. One more to go. We have a lot of beavers up there and with them, “beaver fever”, Giardiasis infection, which is horrible so instead of filtering my water I use Katadyn Micropur purification tablets. Since everyone on your hike drank the same water, its hard to determine the source of Barron’s illness. I agree with Barron it did not act like a water borne condition which lasts for many days. Maybe he just had a 24 hour bug? Whatever! It shall remain a mystery. Oh and also great choice in music in editing. Camp is a star. The other doggie was great too.

    I got sick just like that in Iraq back in 2005,the place we were at there was no real dr or army medic,just a civilian contractor with limited resources,I remember that another guy in our platoon got sick the same way just a week prior and nothing like it happened to our team after me,thankfully it went away after about 3 days,pretty rough times that year,little did we knew,sickness would be the least of our troubles.

      I was with the American Red Cross in 1990 in Saudi Arabia during Operation Desert Shield. I got sick eating a chicken ala King MRE and was so sick that I honestly thought I was going to die. It was horrendous. I started to feel better in two to three days. Later on, I read in The Stars and Stripes that there was a problem with MREs with chicken and a suggestion not to eat them. No, duh. Needless to say, I've never eaten chicken ala king of any kind ever since. It's one thing to get that kind of illness at home with your own flushing toilet, it's another out in the middle of nowhere. Baron is truly a badass.

    What a GREAT video. I'm glad that Barron could walk out of the hike. I had food poisoning a few years ago. Mine lasted about 4 hours. I couldn't puke or crap. I couldn't get off of the couch. It stayed in my gut just punishing me for steaming broccoli with the same water of the muscles. Note..NEVER do that! Beautiful scenery. Classy video. I'm heading to Colorado with my fella early October :) We love that state.

    Hiya Elsa, Barron, Kamp and Friends 🖐. It started out so beautiful and the rainbow was so awesome 👍. After watching part 1, I was so curious what happened to Barron. Well as a person who suffers from colitis and diverticulosis, I can feel ya pain Barron. Some attacks have lasted 3 days and mostly in bed due to the medicine knocking me out. Thankfully I haven't had an attack in long time, diet changes helped. I appreciate y'all sharing your adventure with us and the scenery was gorgeous. Kamp is such a good dog, I know when he wants to be, lol. Glad you are feeling better Barron, and please let Elsa pack your meals for future trips. Looking forward to seeing more videos. Stay safe beautiful people. God Bless y'all and Kamp🙏✌❤😊

    I must say, I enjoy your video blogs because they are like mini documentaries.
    I have learned many tips from both of you. When I watch the dogs in the forest I think about where the Puppy and I are gonna go today. I've lived and am living a similar life except for the nomad part.
    It is a reminder to keep doing those activities because they are so fulfilling! Hiking, Bicycling, taking awesome pics and amazing videos from different angles, your editing and music, appreciating and loving on your sweet Dog, you two with your good humour and wisdom from constant learning, all way more fun to watch than boring and serious news...so Thanks!!!

Had miles to go , all my energy lost , sick and diarrhoea, was like a million degrees . Remember thinking this is it . My mate Greeny who was with me thought it was hysterical, the little gobshite . With the help of my guide managed to make it to the next village and I basically blacked out for 3 days in a locals house with no AC , but they really looked after me . Anyway hello from Liverpool in the uk .
