Sounds good! lets do it! a bunch of year-round campsites are still up.

Yeah that cheese dip was crazy good! Kai is a real digger, that's for sure. He digs everywhere! I had no idea the pine nuts were that expensive. it sounds like a great recipe for them as well. Ill have to try that someday!

I appreciate your kind words, it really means a lot! 👍 You summed up my whole goal with this channel perfectly. What is your huskys name?

@@TheBrokecamper4570 Kanoa (Hawaiian for the free one, free spirit) and he's a big boy, 2 1/2 years old, one blue eye + one brown, very woolly gray coat and as sweet as can be. He doesn't talk/sing/howl all that much but, when he does, it's in this ridiculous (for a Siberian) baritone. And like me, he likes fish (my spouse does not xD)! Huskies are optimists: there has GOT to be something good in this hole / shrub / rotted stump etc. if I just keep going. Not the worst philosophy tbh. Looking forward to your next adventure, and oh boy do I want beer cheese dip now x9

I love that name for your Husky! He sounds a lot like Kai. Except Kai is a loud talker! I had a Husky before, Kinley, and she was a sweetheart. Great temperment, didn't talk that much and only 'aroooo'd when something was weird - like a deflated balloon in a backyard tree, lol. I got that on film and she was so spooked by it! But she passed away before she was even 4 years old - brain tumor. I was gutted and I still am. I knew I'd get another Husky someday, but the opportunity for another came a lot sooner than I expected. I got Kai in April of last year so he's a little over 1.5 years. I never had a male dog before and they are - different! He is constantly go go go, wants to chase everything, he thinks I'm his litter mate etc.! But, he really saved my life. My channel name, The Broke Camper is half because I'm broke and half because I had a broken back after a couple auto accidents - one in 2016 and another in 2019. I eventually had to have major disc surgery at 25. Afterward, I did walk Kinley, but when she passed away, I stopped doing those daily walks and my sciatic pain was returning. I was devastated. But along came Kai with his limitless energy and he took me on 2, 3 mile walks a day, and I don't have that pain any longer. I can do all the things a guy my age should be able to do including going to the gym! And camping... while I was in my room, in agonizing pain, the only thing that I could do is watch videos. I couldn't sit up in a chair and was pretty much bed-bound. So, I watched videos of other people camping. and I swore that if I ever got better, I was going to do that too. I recovered with Kai's help and began modifying the cap to be a DIY tiny 'apartment'. Then, started camping and it's been so worth it. Thank you so much for your comment and being a friend! Oh, and if I ever get another Husky to add to my pack, I will keep the K names going and name him/her Kanoa, if you don't mind!

@@TheBrokecamper4570 Of course you can! And thank you for the added context, I had no idea you suffered through so much... I have thrown my back a few times and dealt with sciatic pain, swelling, gout... you don't need me to tell you that it is the literal worst. We have had three huskies -- London, Hoku and Kanoa -- and they are instrumental to staying active (especially when we think it is cold and miserable out). Real life savers! I'm so glad for you, and hope you stay healthy and keep expanding your mobility and horizons. I wish our husky pals lived as long as we do, and losing one is a grief few people really understand, I feel. But I can't imagine life without one now. And that's a good thing! Incidentally, in Hawaiian, Kai means a leader or, more specifically, "to lead, direct, lift up and carry; to walk or step in a row or procession, or as a child learning to walk; to come dancing out before an audience; the chant during which dancers appear and leave; to train, as for racing." You did perfectly xD

Glad you liked it! I thought it was pretty cool too. thanks for watching!

haha im not sure. maybe hes diggin for gold

I hope he finds some!​@@TheBrokecamper4570

Let's hope he finds some!!

Thanks, I appreciate it! Ooh I do love some brats too. Green chili would be a great camping meal, Maybe soon I can try that out.

@@TheBrokecamper4570 got a recipe from capt Dick… I’ll send it to you

Great idea!! But yeah, a little messy for the camp, maybe if i had a sink system. Yeah, that little log shelter was pretty neat! Thanks for watching!

Nice! What kind of weber grill do you use?

Wow, thank you so much! That really means a lot to me. That's my whole goal with this channel, to show that camping can be calm, simple, and enjoyable without super fancy equipment. I really appreciate the kind words. Thanks for the support.

I like his style too. Not crazy loud or in your face. Makes me want to camp too!

Yeah that seems like the move.

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!

I did not really feel any of the altitude sickness symptoms other than a bit of shortness of breath when Kai would take me on a walk. Being born and raised in Colorado helps a bit I imagine. My normal daily altitude is about 6,000 Ft. But did not really notice any difference overall, thanks for watching!

Thanks a bunch! I appreciate it!

Thanks! Kai has not swum fully submerged yet, however he did jump into my aunt's small decorative pond once. he did not know what to do lol.

@@TheBrokecamper4570 Did he like it? Or, did your aunt NOT like it? lol

I think yes on both questions lol.

it is a beautiful area. I guess I got lucky booking in the middle of the week.

😂

I believe you gave me both the flannel and the pants lol

It is amazing, super fun spot

Thanks!

Thank you! Cheers!

Probably! Kai is very prey driven haha

It really is! Amazing place

I know right! Cracks me up.

You are so kind! Thankyou!

@@TheBrokecamper4570 hope you are doing well!

Doing well, thank you! I have put up a couple new videos and I hope you were able to check them out! I appreciate you!

The curtains are a simple velcro stick on the wall of the camper, and then i stapled the other velcro side to my thick fabric cut to the window size. Then i roll them up, and a velcro strip looped from the back keeps them tight.

Thank you very much! Yeah, the leveling blocks come in real handy. And kai makes it so much more fun, our dogs leave such an imprint on us. Thanks for the kind words. Keep camping!

My grandma is so incredible! She's 80 now and still sharp as a tack and living independently.

Thats the great thing about camping, its mostly ageless. Hope to be doing this for as long as my body lets me! Thanks for watching and commenting!

Tell me about your Husky ;)

The wingspan was about as large as my hand!
