A Poor Rescue Dog Goes On Her First Wild Camp-Heavy Rain

My dog Carmen goes on her first Wild Camp,
I took the Lanshan 2 tent this time as it had extra space for me and the dog, cooked up some chicken for Carmen then the rain came in quite heavy for some time.
A very relaxing camp, just what the Doctor ordered.

You are a true gentleman. A decent human being. A pleasure to spend some time with you ... always.

[@WiltshireMan]

I do try to be, I think we should all try to live our best lives and live with love in our hearts but sometimes it takes age to come to this conclusion

[@BjornAndreasBull-Hansen]

Thanks. Just back from a two day mountain hike with our rescue galgos, so this was perfect timing. Btw, nobody I know does these kind of videos better than you, Sandy.

[@WiltshireMan]

Ah Bjorn those are kind words:) Thankyou. I am enjoying my two Spanish rescue dogs very much and hope to do more camps soon.

Brilliant Sandy. Thanks for taking us along. ATB.

Loved this. We have rescued dogs and fostered about 100. They have new families now. 🇨🇦✨

[@jannerfox9292]

Thank you Sandy, I did enjoy that video. Piran who is also our rescue dog a JRT loves his camping with me also the sound of wildlife around in the night even a cowboy camp under the stars with no tent last year. Nothing like it I think we are so lucky to experience the pleasures of nature.

[@DanOpdal]

Thank you for sharing your adventure! A very nice Wild Camp. Cheers!

[@jjudy5869]

Looks like you have found another four-legged friend for continuing camping adventures.

[@davidbarnfield9849]

Glad to see your dog Carmen enjoyed her first overnight camp, at least you know she enjoyed herself as much as you Sandy. Your evening meal boil in bag reminded me of our 24 hr ration packs. Dave B. Thailand.

I sadly regret I never took my dog camping, shes passed away now and I feel so guilty.that was a lovely watch.

G'day Harold. I have had some rough days, and know that sometimes everything is just a grind. Just hang in their friend, and hopefully, things will improve. Best wishes from an Aussie supporter.

[@victormonster4658]

Great video Mr W, really enjoyed it. Aren’t dog great, give them a bit of love and they give it back 10 times greater. Carmen certainly looks happy, if you take steak next time Mr W she’ll be even happier

[@billrivenbark8983]

The Dog was totally into it. I do believe you’ve got yourself a new camping partner! Great video!

[@tomburgess4741]

Love your videos - Camping gives you a reset - oh Yes ...

[@eleveneleven572]

My dog just loves the tent. Its safe and dry ..... and she gets to cuddle up. 😂 Sadly my first dog, a Scottish Deerhound, couldn't do it as he was scared of confined places. The previous owners, who the breeder claimed hom back from, had a vile daughter who'd put him in the boot of the car as a puppy and abused him.

[@kennethwilson8633]

Peaceful Have fun and stay safe.

[@sarahsue42]

O my what a lovely being Carmen is! Intelligent too. I'm guessing she's Heinz variety with collie and saluki in the mix,am I close? Feeling so much calmer for watching you two in peace in nature, thanks

[@sharkeyfives]

Well done Carmen

[@WiltshireMan]

Thanks Steve:)

My dog eats more than me! hha. I can't bear that "look" in their eyes when I try to eat. I always make them food too whenever I eat, we meal together!

Love your videos Sandy but this one is something else. Carmen was such a sweetheart and love the relationship you have with her, so gentle. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@SharpblueCreative]

I love that area up by Stratton Woods - listen to rainfall & thunderstorms most nights on a recording I have. Love that sound. Reminds me of camping as a kid.

[@WiltshireMan]

It's a lovely sound that Mark, you'll have to get yourself back out camping

[@cymro6537]

I really enjoyed this - this is something I intend doing after I retire.👍

Thanks Tony

[@th3azscorpio]

She walks so wierd, lol. The only way I can describe it is, she looks very smooth while she's on the leash. Almost like she's swimming through water. Great video, and a really cool place. Hope you both enjoyed your time!

[@WiltshireMan]

Thanks. Yes we had a lovely camp:)

[@ruththinkingoutside.707]

Lovely! She did so well too! Thanks for taking us along with you Sandy :) ATB

[@WiltshireMan]

Thanks Ruth, Carmen did really well, I am so pleased with her:)

[@philedwards2679]

Lovely video Sandy, even I felt relaxed after watching it. I think the term " Piping Hot" originated in Scotland where they pipe the food in on the Bagpipes for special occasions.

[@ukpaul9221]

LOVE YOUR NEW FRIEND. Rescue dogs are almost always great. So ready to love and be part of you. (Watch that hip!) And she looks like a sight-hound and so should be ready to chase -I'm sure you are aware. She is a lovely creature. It looks like a transverse ridge tent - nice. Sorry bro' but it looks like Carmen is going to be the hero of this tale. She's a beaut! There is utter confusion about 'piping hot' - no real definitive option - so just take it as 'too hot to handle'. Sorry that you got cold - got some fairly economical Eurohike 'Expedition' bags many moons ago and I've NEVER felt cold. Tent sagged - that's rain for you. If canvas, the canvas would shrink - with nylon and polyester they expand - goodness knows why but they do. However, a great tent and an even greater companion. Many thanks Sandy for a truly 'warming' video. Paul in the Midlands

[@WiltshireMan]

Thanks Paul, Yes she is a sight hound, when I took her on they described her as a Lurcher! Sil Nylon tents sag because they actually absorb some moisture and need to be retightened (if I can be bothered to get out in the night to do it) and yes canvas does shrink, I've had tent pegs pulled out of the ground in the past

[@jock308]

Nice to see you back camping with a dog, cheers

[@acimbobby]

great trek out to camp, your dog is very sweet.

[@GildaLee27]

It's always fun to come along camping with you, Sandy. Sweet Carmen seems to be feeling quite a bit calmer than when I last saw her. Must be settling in well. She knew exactly how to use that style, smart girl. So much gratitude to the farmer! By granting you permission to camp & video in his woodland, the farmer is also doing a great kindness to us here who cannot get out very often. It means a lot to vicariously enjoy the outdoors with you. Thank you so much! Best wishes to all from California.

[@WiltshireMan]

Hi Gildalee Glad you enjoyed watching the video, Carmen is the Star:) She really is quite an intelligent dog too and I'm sure she thinks she's the boss sometimes:)

[@davidschwartz9636]

Hi Sandy. It's really good to see how your dog, Carmen, has come on from when you first got her. You've obviously spent a lot of time and effort with her, and it's given her confidence and enabled her to enjoy her life much more. Those little Tangia stoves really are something else. Such a simple little design, but when they get going, well... My one lives in one of the boxes on my bike virtually all the time, so handy for a brew or to cook something. I run mine on mentholated spirits, and an old boy, who told me he'd been a Scouts leader, said that I should try adding a bit of water to the meths, as apparently is reduces the amount of soot on the bottom of your pans. - As you're a confirmed stoveaholic, wounderr if you've heard similar? Regards, David

[@Gregs_World]

I know that Carmen is as excited to go Again as you will be to take her another amazing so relaxing we need some much more kindness on earth right now you exemplify that to the very highest degree thank you for sharing your life with us happy Carmen was part of the journey today

[@marcomcdowell8861]

I've had pets from shops, gifted from a litter or just shown up and declared our home theirs, but the most loyal and loving pet I've ever had was a rescue. It's like they appreciate the new lease on life that you've given them and repay that in love and shenanigans. A hat tip to you and the missus for rescuing Carmen.

[@WiltshireMan]

Thanks Marco, she is a lovely dog, so is the other dog we have too

[@CTX-jo3cd]

Carmen was a little star, Sandy! She's a super camping dog. I'm pleased you'll be able to take her on more camping trips now. I know you miss having a dog with you. All the best to you and the family. Paul

Piping hot, as in the kettle whistled.

This was such a lovely, heartwarming video Sandy. Carmen is lucky you took her in. A gorgeous, well behaved dog & a great little overnighter

Really lovely to see you camping again with a canine companion :-) Also I've got to make note of all the extra mileage you must have to put in for these great videos, retrieving the camera after all the walk-past footage you do! Great job Sandy :-)
