[@gagags1115]

Thank you for sharing Brucie Boy with us all ♥️🐾. This is to honor him and his memory.

[@wendysue9042]

Ok... I'm 1 minute in and I'm all choked up, with tears. For a dog that I never met and a family that I have never met-- But I sure feel like I know them all.

[@helendawson3886]

Yup I sat and cried with Tony as he told us all about Bruce. Broke my heart

[@suzieh8044]

So sorry about Brucie. He is running the fields at the Rainbow Bridge. Bye Bruce RIP. Prayers Tony.

[@carlmccain2650]

My heart goes out to you. I lost my Duke of 10 years, it’s something I will never get over. I love your videos, keep making them. I saw your video telling us of Bruce’s death, broke my heart. Greetings from Pensacola, Florida.

[@rogernelson2616]

I look forward to every one of your videos. It will be so difficult not seeing Bruce frolicking in the grass and swiming in the water. You could tell how happy he was being outdoors with you. We will watch for him in the clouds, knowing he will be forever in our thoughts. RIP Brucie, we will miss you. Love from Ohio.

[@WybleMontano]

Oh nooooooooooo! He passed????? Oh no!!!!!

[@susantaylor3486]

Thank you, for sharing these final camp trips with Bruce. He will be missed dearly ❤

[@DonP_is_lostagain]

All of these videos with Brucie will be bittersweet. Brings tears to my eyes, but joy to my heart to know how much fun Bruce had at all these camps.

[@sandi43able]

Good boy Bruce and fly over Rainbow Bridge, I am so very sorry for the loss of a Beautiful and energetic dog Tony and Family😪🐶🐶♥♥♥

[@kimberlycollins5638]

I'm very sorry to hear that you have lost your dog that is a beautiful dog that you had with you, you must get yourself another one of them, don't go too long because it'll just break your heart there are so many dogs out there that need a loving home

[@BRLonghorn]

I am so sorry, thoughts and prayers for you and your family. My brother had a Bruce, his name was Ranger. He was full-blooded border collie and acted so much like Bruce. Living on a farm with 120 acres Ranger would help with keeping the cows in line. He was the best dog I ever knew and loved running and barking at car tires. He to passed away suddenly and it devastated all of us but none more than my brother and his wife. I saw their pain and know you must be feeling it now. I am so sorry again. Take care of yourself and your family. We will be here waiting if you decide to keep making these.

[@joanjenkins8397]

I never wanted another dog after I lost the last one back in 1980. The only reason I accepted a dog again for my 11 yr of age grandson was because of Bruce. Chase will be two yrs of age in June. Thank you for sharing Bruce with us. I will always cherish these last videos.

[@dianekorcz1401]

This was my 1st camping adventure with you and Bruce. Dogs are a delight. Im truely sorry to hear of your loss ❤ Bruce passing has brought me to tears. I look forward to future camping adventures! Sincere condolence to you, your wife and others whose life Bruce has touched

[@tobybyrddash2322]

Happened on your video, loved it. I have to say I was so incredibly happy to hear you say “setting up starlink so you can speak to your wife later and tell her how camp is going”. Loved your views as well! Well done!

[@MrGentleNick]

[@pennymiller9175]

Oh! I’m brand new to your channel and fell in love with Brucie at first viewing. Such sad news, but so glad for you Tony to have had such a perfect camping companion. You gave him great times, lucky pup. My best to you and your family.

[@aemlife7516]

I enjoyed your camping demo about the tent but I so enjoyed seeing your Brucie dog camping that was so cute to watch him sleeping in a bed next to you. It was so precious. When you re-showed Brucie in the low river and his face innocently looking up at you it looked like he was waiting for a stick or for you to jump in with him. I hope you had a few fun days with your Brucie,I am sorry you lost your loyal pal!

I am looking forward to more content when you are ready to get back to camping. I also ordered the Bruce cup, and sticker. And It’s Grim sticker which is now on my car. 👍🏼. Many blessings to your family. Cheering you on from Phoenix Az.

[@BushWookie603]

I can tell that pup had a great life. That's the life every dog should have, outdoors, room to roam and adventure around. RIP Bruce

[@karenhickson9210]

I just found your channel on UT & love the content. My heart is 💔 broken because I fell in love with Bruce, instantly, and I just read he passed away. So very sorry, as I am a dog lover & Bruce was a very special companion. Looking forward to adventures with Bruno. Your vids are spectacular! Thank You so much for sharing your life with us. 😊😊

[@dorathyfaiella4296]

Man, I love dogs. I love watching camping vids and yours came up on my KZbin TV feed, wanted to check out some of the merch you're using, so i jumped on my laptop. The shock i got hearing Bruce passed on 😭, he'll live on thru your adventures and in our feeds. Sending you lots of love and condolences from Trinidad. RIP Bruce, you're in the arms of the angels now. Say hi to all my fur babies up there with you, Saddam, Milo, Festus, Fat-boy, Charlie❤

[@pursleydl2009]

Im glad to see Bruce again. Lost but not forgotten. My sincere condolences for the loss of your companion. I shed tears with you just days after you posted your video breaking the awful news. 😢

[@sharkmedia5969]

My first though when I started watching was this guy is waiting to be bear food with all that grilling going on until I realized it was New Zealand with no predators.

[@estherindriani6785]

I love you Bruce. Rest in peace, good boy ❤

[@ccjj6282]

Hi Tony, I am an RV’er and ran across your channel. It has been very helpful and definitely enjoyable. I love the way you admonish your family member, Bruce. I looked forward to Bruce’s appearance. So now, Im sorry to hear of his passing. He will definitely be missed. Condolences to you and your family.

It was me Tony and my name is Sandi from Leicester UK

[@cynthiaondeck-bx4jh]

Your adventures are absolutely awesome. I am so sorry that Bruce he passed, but he is at rainbow bridge watching down on you having fun without him and I thought there was only one person in the world that had gear like me and it’s you my husband would have a fit because he tells me I have too much gear but I have everything I would ever need we tent camped for 10 or 15 years and then we upgraded to a travel trailer. We started out with a 24. We’re up to a 32 now, but that’s what happens when you become a senior you have to go to Glamping instead of camping. Happy trails and all that you do you’re awesome. Thank you for sharing.

[@elizabethmatheson1033]

I loved Bruce so much! I had to take a break watching your videos when he passed. It made me so sad. But now I'm back watching and enjoying him. You're a fortunate man to have had such a wonderful dog.

[@lisampeeler8294]

I am so sorry for the loss of Bruce. He was such a highlight to your videos. My condolences to you and to your family. Rest in paradise Bruce.

[@jacksonfive197]

Good seeing Bruce was hard to watch at first but it’s part of life I know he was your best buddy my cats are mine cheers!!!!

[@4x4adventure_pl]

As someone who yearns for the tranquility of the wild, this video is a breathtaking journey into the heart of nature. The overlanding experience, with its boundless horizons and nights spent under starlit skies, is a poetic reminder of our connection to the Earth. It beckons us to embrace simplicity and cherish every moment spent in the embrace of untamed landscapes.

[@karenhickson9210]

Hear, hear! Couldn't agree more. 😊

[@northernillinoissasquatchr6260]

Watched this entire video. So enjoyed experiencing the challenges and learning from you. I've never been to New Zealand, it looks wonderful.

[@Daygo448]

Praying for healing Dan. I’m also in my 40’s and have arthritis in one of my knees. Three things helped me get over my knee pain (not to say it’s not there still, but it hardly ever bothers me): 1) Synovial Fluid Injections - depending on your knee arthritis, you might be a good candidate for this. It replaces a naturally occurring fluid in your knees that helps prevent bone on bone rubbing and protects the joint by lubricating it. This is a synthetic version, and unlike cortisone shots, it doesn’t cause scar tissue or long term damage. It stops arthritis from getting worse. There’s a ton of brands, but I used one called Supartz. It was a game changer! 2) PT - I did PT once I was good enough with my knee. It helped strengthen my knee to help prevent certain movements from bothering it or my knee shifting how it shouldn’t. 3) Exercise - losing weight, strengthening my legs, etc. has helped me big time. This has not only helped my knee, but my overall health and well-being. I don’t know what the doctor will come back with, but I’d definitively recommend looking up synovial fluid injections to see if you are a good candidate as I said, it was a game changer for me. It hurt to walk let alone backpack, but now I’m able to backpack, exercise, and just play around with my kids. My knee isn’t perfect, and it’ll bother me every once and a while, but I’m not living on ibuprofen or pain killers which is a huge thing for me. I pray for healing and that you get encouraging news. God willing, you’ll be back on trail soon, and able to do those EPIC hikes!

[@WayneTheSeine]

The opening brought tears to my eyes. I am 75 years old, and lost my wife of 40 years, three years ago to COVID. Shortly after I got a young aussie male. He is the most wonderful dog I have ever had. I have owned a lot of dogs in my life but none as smart and loving as he. He is very verbal and greets me each morning with a smile and some talk. I don't know how I could handle losing him. I cannot imagine your loss. That tent is incredible. Your entire setup is fantastic. I could stay there for weeks. Being an avid fly fisherman, New Zeland has always been on my bucket list to visit and fish. That stream likely has beautiful trout in it. New Zeland is such an awesome country.

This is my first time watching and am sorry to hear of Bruce's passing. My granddog passed 2 years back and I still miss her so. She got me outside walking. They do sell that tent in Michigan. Very Expensive as you said but it did impress me. Hope you are enjoying the states. Pam

[@markpaul7887]

God bless you and Mr. Bruce. You could never replace him as he is unique. But if you found a needy and unique four legged friend I'm sure his spirit would approve! Trek on! Yes I will need to occasionally think of Bruce and my Diamond!

[@tom080955]

So am pleased with these flashback memories of Bruce…you two were inseparable. We also lost one of our over the rainbow bridge…always in our hearts. Right what you been up to mate? Looks like I may have a binge watching weekend coming up eh. Cheers and a toast to you both….

[@Ricksonkimura]

So sorry for your loss. That's the exact date my pop passed away, 4/3/2023. He was 90. Bruce was such a good companion. This has been a tough year for us

[@masontrezise8861]

As someone who recently started completely over with their set-up, $1,200 does not sound like a bad deal to have a solid kit to hit the trails with in a hurry. Took me about a month of constantly researching, ordering, and running around town picking up gear to put together a decent set-up that cost around $800. But now that Ive used that system for a few trips I’ve already started looking into upgrades I found on your channel. So you better not go anywhere! Lol

[@codywpogue]

Love the content! RIP to Bruce.. this was the 1st video I saw actually today and then I watched some others so I’m grateful to have watched this and definitely have my support!

[@lorettaburnette7574]

I'm truly sorry , there are no words that I can find to make the emptiness go away! God bless you.

[@user-kp2nk2fk9p]

So very sad to hear about your dog Brucie passing. Just watched your entire camping video. So entertaining! Hold his memories in your heart. I just lost my golden Maddie Feb 17, 2023. Loved your video. Will be watching more soon. 🏕🐕‍🦺😢🙏

[@ladybug591]

It looks like that awning could perhaps be sloped to run water AWAY from the tent, not towards the tent if it rains heavily during the night. Just lower those poles. It looks wonderfully roomy inside and so easy to put up. Thanks - I did not know such tents exist. There are so many options now but it's great that you test some out - very helpful. Regards to all and pat-pat to Brucie.

[@sisteradvaisrael9510]

I’m very very sad to read about Bruce! Our dog passed years ago and we still grieve! We just couldn’t bring ourselves to adopt another dog, but I truly hope you do because it would break my heart to think of you camping alone. It just wouldn’t work! Thank you so much for being the person you are; forgetful, dropping things, just an average guy who enjoys camping, and sharing that joy with us simple average campers! RIP Bruce!

[@susanwilson2248]

Hello, I just started getting your channel through my algorithms about two weeks ago. I started binging and subscribed. This video popped up today and its a month old, so I was deeply saddened to learn about Brucie He was a sweet dog. I enjoyed him very much., watching him patiently waiting for you to unload the car to get his treats out, being a real gentleman while you cooked dinner, because he KNEW part of it was his, and sharing his warm down doggie blanket with you. Thank you so much for sharing him with us. My condolences to you and your family. Brucie will be missed and warmly remembered.🐾⛺️💙

[@unitedstates3068]

I agree with the negatives you pointed out... * the entry of the pronto4 needs a rethink to address water ingress. With the storm flap/awning down in heavy rain, best to enter from the left side - cross over inside the vestibule to the right side to get in. If you come in the right side during heavy rain - water gets in the tent. ... plus you need the side windows closed up when it rains as they have no protection. * A slightly roomier vestibule entry would be great (never used the rear for gear store). * the lack of internal wall pockets. I can't understand the few cents for a couple of decent pockets on rear wall and on the sides. * flimsy hose for the pump * standard pegs * straps to tie up the tent. I've replaced with buckles ps ... there are 2 valves on the one side

Even shower curtains provide EXCELLENT thermal efficiency also in WINDY areas you oughta sequester yourself among the cregs and so on in the area to help buffer you If you don't care for others advice just dismiss it unless it's done with an attitude which is always clear if it is but you do you as they say, I enjoy your outtakes on life at cigar time. It's all good, I say Like how I miss my black and white girl cat but remember their always by our side in loving strength. I know she's loved me and knows I love her, and all amid the many connections in our lives, past, present and future!
