Cold night camping in the mountains with my dog
I took Nala out for our first backpacking trip of the year. We hiked up a closed forest road up past Silver Lake Flat in American Fork Canyon, UT. We had a record snowfall year in Utah so there was still tons of snow on the ground as we got higher in elevation. Afternoon storms made for interesting weather. Plenty of stomps to celebrate our first trek of the season.

Nala is like, "Dad sure talks to himself a lot" lol
It's really interesting how engaged Nala is with everything you do. She overseas you unpacking and setting up camp, inspects the tent sticks before you pouch them, she's as involved as she can possibly be, if she'd have hands she'd be doing it too! You have a genuine companionship, partnership with Nala, and the love you share is so strong. Even though her whiskers are greying, she's exited like young pupp to be out in the wild with you. I love your channel bc it really shows the bond and connection we can have, the fun we can share, with our dogs, if we care enough to listen to them as much as they do to us. That communication, far beyond words, is truly enriching. Dogs are such patient loving teachers we can learn so much from. Being in the moment and enjoying the natural world through the eyes of a joyous dog is a great privilege that makes us better humans. Thanks for putting your message out there and sharing your journeys and everyday fun. Love from Sweden! ❤️🐾🐾
I defy anyone to not fall in love with these two. Nala is what everyone wants their dog to be. And her daddy is amazing too. Now THAT’S puppy love!

A small Nalgene water bottle filled with boiling water and wrapped in a sock is really nice for situations like this.
