his name is Vilk , not Wilk .
All the hours you spent training Vilk and almost loosing your mind has paid off big time! You have created the perfect adventure partner. Congrats and love ❤
I’ve loved how intentional you’ve been in your relationship with Vilk. He’s blooming into a fun and beautifully adjusted young animal and that’s 100% down to the time, love and thoughtfulness you’ve invested. Well done doggo Mumma, enjoy that sweet friendship with him 🐾
Can this be a KZread video? Absolutely! We didn’t have this option thirty years ago when I did my world adventuring. I’m in my 60’s now, a caregiver for my mother. I can’t go adventuring so I watch these videos to ease my adventurous spirit some, it does work, on many levels, and I’m so grateful to all who are sharing their adventures. ❤
Eva is an inspiration for solo adventurers. 😊😊

As someone who hikes/camps with dogs quite a lot, always watch your dogs ears. If they hear something menacing (which will be before you do!) their ears will perk up or lay back, and you can often determine the direction of the threat by seeing which ear moves first. I adore your videos and look forward to more great videos!

Having dogs sometimes makes the experience more terrifying for me. We went camping last year with our dogs and they acted absolutely terrified at our campsite. Generally, they love being outdoors, but they were frozen stiff and quiet as they stood at our campsite. They were, for once, not interested in exploring (unusual particularly for terriers). It was clear that something was wrong. That evening, we had a lot of visitors outside our tent that circled around and kept returning to us all through the night. Predatory behavior. Should've been coyotes given the area but almost looked like a wolf to me when I peeked out (though not in wolf territory).

In the rockies, and particularly in Idaho, the decision to turn back is often a hard one. And very probably, literally even; the difference between why some are still here and others not so. Additionally, his growling at ducks and secret ambush pose are really adorable moments. Thanks for sharing! 16:27

Now there is an authentic adventure! Simple, self-powered, with minimal environmental impact, sweetly satisfying!
My parents brought home a German shepherd the same week they brought me home. He was my constant friend and protector for twelve years. And I've had German shepherds my whole life until our last passed away two years ago. He looked exactly like vilk. And made my life worth living. I'm now 67 years old and my wife is disabled. He passed away when I was in the hospital dealing with kidney problems. So I had to make the hardest decision of my life that he would be are last dog. My wife isn't capable of caring for a dog because of her health. And my health is such that it's inevitable that there will be times that I might not be able either. The hole that has left in our lives is enormous. Cherish the time you have. I love watching you and vilk on your adventures
We love whatever you do and wherever you go Eva, because we love you as the great human being you are and the positive energy and good vibe you transmit to us with all your videos, no matter where,when,how. You are always yourself, never pretending and that's what matters most.

Such a brave powerful kind-hearted wolf he is. Please always remember you do not have to do something special to be special. Your and Vilk's presence is enough to inspire and open hearts and minds all over the globe. Ahou and thank you dear Eva and Vilk

NICE!!! Being outdoors is special and being outdoors with Vilk is OUTSTANDING!!! Vilk is the best partner you will ever have---unconditional love and protection!!! I am glad you have him by your side---it's a great comfort for all us viewers!!!!!!!!
We're certainly having a doozy of an El Niño year, which means plenty of rain. Usually summers are much drier. But, the smell of the rain is special & that picture of you & Vilk peeping out of the tent priceless.
This was a breakthrough video. It isn't where you go or what you do, it is the experience and who you are with that makes it special. And Vilk is a special companion. You are a storyteller, I truely believe it is your story telling that makes your videos compelling and you so popular. Well, and that you are as cute as a button! That helps. 😁
An ode to the company of dogs. You and Vilk are a powerful team. Many happy hikes! Maybe not always easy, but full of love
Hi Eva. Just discovered your channel and I'm hooked.. Can't wait to go back and watch all your adventures from the beginning! Safe travels.. 🏕

Thank you for taking me along on your beautiful hike! You sure do have a loyal companion in Vilk. Shepherds are such wonderful animals! And you're a unique, adventurous woman. I love following your channel! All the best!!
I've posted this before, but I feel that this poem - and some of its themes - works so well with this video! Okay, so the concept of loneliness doesn't apply for you, and you and Vilk apparently heard ducks, rather than seeing wild geese, but here it is anyway: "Wild Geese" by Mary Oliver: You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves. Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine. Meanwhile the world goes on. Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain are moving across the landscapes, over the prairies and the deep trees, the mountains and the rivers. Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air, are heading home again. Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting- over and over announcing your place in the family of things.

The trick to the dog is that they give more than they get. So keep on giving, gladly because those doggie benefits will flow. Not to mention what a handsome devil he is.

I just turned 50 at the end of last month & now I have come to the realization that I now need to slow down & take time to enjoy things around me just a bit more & to enjoy the fruits of life even if it’s the little things that happen day by day . I just learned within the last 3 years that I shouldn’t dwell on things that are beyond my control & that was a great life lesson .
I just had a flash back to my youth when, while walking around on the top of the snow, I suddenly plunged up to my armpits. Thanks for that memory! Fun times!
Thank you deeply Eva! For you it may be just a regular youtube video, but for me it reminded it is still possible to be happy alone.. ive been thru some really bad traumas and you are helping me heal ❤❤❤
I'm so glad you have a wonderful and beautiful dog to protect you. I'm following your journey. I live vicariously through you because i cannot do that at this time because of family obligations. So i watch and imagine. Your videos make me so happy. Please stay safe. Happy and safe travels...☺️

When you mentioned about your socks being wet and changing them it brought back memories working outside in the cold rain. I always kept a change of shoes and socks in my trunk and at the end of the day I would change my socks and shoes....it was absolutely energizing and got me through the long slogging drive home in heavy traffic.

Gotta love central Idaho. Looking forward to you continued Idaho adventures
Nicely done. You put a lot of effort into these productions, that's clear. Editing, camera work, sound, are all really well done. Very watchable. I love the idea that we remember the times when we were uncomfortable or challenged. ... That's so true.
I really appreciated your sentiment about enjoying the little moments and that not everything needs to be cinematic for "content". It's these human moments that make your channel such a joy. And your pup companion is adorable!
This is magical! Thank you for this, no drama, no big thing, just night in tent. Beautiful
This is a life that I used to know. My dog and I. Sometimes accompanied by my late Wife. Alone in the wilderness and loving it. I can't anymore. I'm just too old and feeble. But, I do still go camping. I load up my motorcycle and travel to a campsite in the mountains. My Dog stays home these days. My Dog does not enjoy it anymore. He is twenty years old. The last time I took him, He complained the entire time and told me that He wanted to go home. I miss life as a younger person. Oh well. We don't live forever. Enjoy every minute of it while you can. It goes by fast.

Hello ☝️☝️
I really relate to the shift you're going through with how you relate to adventure - I make KZread videos in a similar spirit as yours - I left what was my dream home in the country, packed up my whole life, got my two cats (Lil and Bubba who travel with me) ready and this month marks 9 months on the road. Have felt myself at times think that "grand" must mean something epic... but I'm realising that it has more to do with the depth and substance in the stories that we live and share that seem to connect with people (epic is good too of course, both are!) Glad your enjoying this amazing country! Sending love from my little stretch of road to yours 💛💚💛
Looks like you had a great time, even in knee-deep snow. I laughed a bit at you setting up the tent and hearing thunder. We've all been there, done that, got the t-shirt. It's a right of passage as it were, and you're absolutely correct in that the discomfort is what makes the experience great. After all, how many days where everything went well does one actually remember? I'd wager, not many. Most of us form memories from things we've learned and new experiences we've had, including putting up a tent in the rain or dealing with a dog's soggy paws. There's nothing like waking up the next morning as you did, smiling and drinking a hot beverage, getting dressed and then putting on your boots only to immediately remember that you're boots were wet. You know this because the dry socks you are wearing aren't dry anymore, and the boots are not only wet, they're cold. It's all part of the experience. The only thing that could further cement the deal is when you pack everything up and hike to another location only to then remember that everything is still wet. It may be annoying, but it'll be a memory. Keep up the great work and keep smiling!
Those moments of morning glory, full of innocence and light I liked most.

I'm really glad you have that dog! He looks full grown now and looks like he is capable of protecting you against any foe, whether human or animal! You picked the right breed of dog. Looks more like a Police dog. I'm sure there's that extra expense of dog food and Veterinarian costs but at least you don't have to worry about strange noises outside the vehicle at night.
Thank you.
Eva, I wholeheartedly agree with your reflections about the value in pursuing adventure and being uncomfortable… thank you for making this video and telling this tale… the simplicity in your storytelling is refreshing compared to the unhealthy race for attention in social media extremes. Thank you for being you, and sharing your wild camping memory with us. Your invitation to North Idaho is still a wholehearted welcome…
As always nice to watch / listen to you/ your experience and perspective- Thankyou. Have to say you’ve clearly worked hard on training Vilk - he seems to listen well! So happy for you that you have him as a companion during these adventures - not just safety but also the ride - he feels like the right companion! You mentioned another thing today - the wanting to go on or feeling that I can, because of ego maybe, and listening when it’s right time to turn around/ stop! That too resonated today! Take care and wish you wonderful adventures!
I have a story about a disappointment I had for a trip I planned: I planned to go on a week long hike and camping trip up by Duluth, MN on the SHT. I found out the morning after my first night in my tent, that I definitely did not have the stamina to go a whole week ... I went home the next day 😂 it was a valuable lesson in preparing my body not just my psyche

You cant beat camping in the wild to relax and decompress. Love your videos
Precious beast, Vilk :) You've done an amazing job training him, I bet you could train him to carry some gear in a specially fitted pack. As a working breed, it might be a really rewarding job for him to focus on. Good boy! They truly make the best companions.
I live in the woods not a long ways from a wilderness area so I know the feeling, Eva. As that nearing 80-year old guy who wants to give you something before he dies, remember I am in the Kamiah area. Almost a year ago my dog, Ruger, went to the animal hospital the same day that my wife went to the people hospital and neither ever returned home. And the only dogs available are pit-bulls and my Ruger was a pit-bull--hound mix. But I have a family of 5--9 deer which even got to the number of 16 last week. I talk to them every day. Two bucks, some does and fawns. I do this so often that when I do, they just look up for a while and then return to eating. A distance from me of 6 feet is not unusual. I've always enjoyed living alone rather than with lots of people and I love living where I can see a couple of homes across a canyon but not clearly. Thanks for all the videos you make.
Eva- I doubt you'll read this but I gotta tell ya anyway… Because I believe in giving credit where credit is due. I've been having a rough go of it lately. Nothing new, or major in the grand scheme of things, you know, but rough nonetheless. Just life. In the middle of this roughness… I discovered your videos- and your simple, grateful way of life is nothing short of healing and inspiring. I would love to do what you do… not the KZread videos part but definitely the solo simple camping with my dog part. Thank you, thank you for helping pull me out of my funk. Your videos inject a much-needed shot of hope and contentment into my life. Thank you. -Brandy
another amazing video to inspire me to run away from the big cities.
Nature is more enjoyable when there isnt the need to reach a summit, or some grand adventure that must be had.. just let things flow and have fun

Hey 👋 care to chat 🪽
I did a lot of backpacking in Colorado in the 70's and my three dogs all packed their on food. Didn't slow them up a bit. Eva I really enjoy your adventure's. Be safe.
You're back to basics - this is it, real life - thank you
This is just as interesting & fun as any of your adventuring videos... I'll keep watching. I think most of us will
Aww too bad there was too much snow to make it to the cabin! I’ve done that trail a few times and the view from the cabin to the Pioneer Mountains is spectacular. The roof says “the higher you get the higher you get.” Hope you can make it back to see it some day.
You videos allway fill my heart with a sense of warmth. Thankyou

Hello 👋 how are you doing today??
Just started watching you a week ago and yes jumped around a bit in the video timeline and picked up a slight sense of your journey and transformation in outlook. While your adventures have this homebody (someone attached to home mostly for you Europeans if you don't know the term) living vicariously, your current insights on the journey, living in the moment and mindfulness are great to hear. Jeep up the great work. Don't stop. It doesn't have to be extreme every video to entertain. Oh, and you might do a contest for "homebodies etc" to go on a week's adventure with you and of course others you have trust in to be safe in a situation with a stranger. You can have people submit a video of why they want to have the experience. Just a thought.
Thank you for practicing turning around in time and encouraging your viewers to do the same.
Thanks for taking us along on your adventures, I love it.
I’m so glad you discovered my favorite place in the country. The Montana/Idaho/Wyoming trifecta. It’s definitely “gods” country, as some would say. Considering your extensive world travels, I find it interesting how much you’re attracted to the area. Obviously you don’t read all your comments. BUT.. If I could make a recommendation of one of the prettiest and most scenic drives in that area of the country. Please drive the Beartooth Basin Highway, and the Chief Joseph Highway (They lead to each other) on the Montana Wyoming border. You will not regret it. Easily could be a national park, but it’s not, so it’s (dog) Vilk Friendly!!

We’ve done that route too and I agree! We live in eastern Wyoming and this is what June is like in Wyoming!
15:35 this is the best part of the video!
