I am always amazed at what you go through to provide us with such excellent videos. 😮

I’d be doing it anyway I’m just filming as I go😊. Thanks mate

[@Hightower600]

Al you definitely get my vote for being my Well-being Champion, as always the quality of content is truly inspiring & I know you produce it not for financial gain but because you absolutely love it and that comes across so much. I must admit I had a good chuckle with the "Paw Wheel Drive" if Blue could talk I'm sure he tell everyone of his epic adventures. 🐾

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Thanks mate 😬. I always hope to add a teeny portion to peoples well-being with a bit of positivity. If Blue could talk …….. 😂

[@MattGriffiths81]

Oh my lord Blue's face when you put the pan on the mat. I could see the internal dialogue: "Oh yeah food time... oh no, maybe water? oh right no he's just showing the camera the water thing... wait a pan? I'm eating from the pan? Why's it on your knee? wait.... that's MY plate, why are YOU eating it????!!!?!?" 🤣🤣 What a great adventure. It's awesome to watch you doing the things you do, and managing to do it with Blue, and with a smile on your face. Amazing. Oh, and FYI the "glove loops" on the jacket (and the loop on the back of your neck) are used to attach it to a compatible waterproof shell so when you pull your arms out they stay inside the shell 😉

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

😂 I’d love to know his thoughts 😂 👌 I haven’t seen a compatible shell. I need to fine one👍

[@andrewgrimshaw5180]

Amazing. This is only possible with a very well trained dog. As a collie owner, Blue is on another level. He instantly reacts to your commands and without that it wouldn’t be possible. It’s very impressive.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Yes definitely a well trained dog is safer in these scenarios. I’m glad you appreciate it👍👍👍

[@brianlopez8855]

Bushman, what a role model sir. You have the capacity to inspire many, especially the youngsters. Carry on your good work. Love Blue, what a dog and the look on his face when you cut the steak out of the packet, what a character !

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Thanks Brian 👍I aim to inspire others to get out more and enjoy what the world has to offer.

[@terrencetwigg2699]

You and Blue are an inspiration mate, there's a lot of people out there that can't do what you do or go where you go, possibly because of age or physical disabilities, you bring the beauty of nature to them through your youtube video's. Keep up the good work and thanks. Give Blue a good fuss for my wife and myself, ta mate.

I really like that people get to see these places who can’t get there. My mum included👍

[@madoldgoat5960]

Wow..just wow! Blue the mountain climbing wonder dog. Can see how much he loves it. And like you say he is fearless but I think that is just showing the trust he has in your abilities to. Scary to watch but at the same time mind-blowingly impressive.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Yes I think as a calm dog owner it keeps Blue calm too. Total trust in each other😬

Thank you Caroline 😊

[@alistairsmith7040]

Took me back 30+ years to when I did the Rake with some army mates. So familiar! We met some ill-equipped and ill-prepared civies trying to come down it! One was cragfast on the main pitch Luckily, we managed to persuade them up was the only achievable route for them, and with the aid of the trusty rope we always had stowed,got them through the tricky bits. Great memories and a great place. So picturesque! Gread vid chap and Blue is amazing 👏

OMG you are truly amazing both you and Blue watching this climb has me nervous but am glued to the video

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

I would worry that people without the skills or experience would attempt these things and get caught out. Great adventure but definitely with its risks. Thanks😬

Your mental bro but i love it. Seen a vid of good bloke outdpors doing tgis route and thought theres no way you're getting a dog up that, but you did. You made it look as safe as possible and blue is so sick. Awesome to see the bond you pair have and how that facilitates you pair working together like a well oiled machine.

Definitely one of your best videos to date Al, thoroughly enjoyed it! Your camera and drone work was fantastic (are you sure you didn't take a camera team with you!!?) Total respect to do Jack's Rake with a back pack, with a dog and with a camera! Steak dinner looked fab too!

The man knows what is going on, it’s very hard, but he will take care of blue, now for blue, yes he’s a dog but he’s a smart dog and loves and trusts the man, they love each other, so that’s why all this works, amazing man, amazing dog 🥰🥰🥰

[@death4904]

Thanks for all your quality content, I loved camping throughout my early life, scouts, explorers the lot. But for the last 12 years I've been living in Cambodia. So I can't get to camp like that anymore. So I really do appreciate the videos to remind me and live it through you. When I get a chance to come back, I will be getting out on my own or even take my lad! Thanks for the inspiration.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Ace mate! I’m glad you can join me on these adventures. Definitely get your lad out👍

[@adge_ventures4915]

Quality Al and Blue. Longer content was a treat as was the footage along the way. Top work mate! Stay safe and well, Adge

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Thanks mate almost movie length but with zero budget😂.

[@wicksy68]

Wow, what an epic rollercoaster of a ride, I felt almost a sense of shame and guilt watching this unfold from the safety and comfort of my armchair, Blue definitely has a sense of unique doggy telepathy to understand the rules of the mountain and what is required to work as a team, at certain traverses it was almost like Blue was showing you the safest way up the rake. I totally loved this one as we did Jacks rake around 10 years ago and I just could not imagine having the responsibility of a dog at the same time as the scrambling especially as I remember once you start climbing up you cannot change your mind half way up and decide to go down as it becomes a far more perilous challenge, akin to cat / tree theory. The sense of elation when arriving at the top is a feeling I wont forget and we all said we would do it again in a heartbeat. Cap tipped and doffed in your direction for this adventure. Ps, superb drone work,....spectacular.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Thanks Dave. Me and the dog have a well practiced mountain relationship and trust each other. He generally leads and often I choose his route because he always seems to be right. 👍

[@vaijayanti_prememalcolm8160]

Wow that was insane, Blue is so dedicated to you. My elderly labrador would just say nope I don’t want to ( labrador voice), thank you for the stunning views you give us, the drone work was literally out of this world

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Thanks 😊. Dogs will definitely stop if they are not comfortable 👍

[@mistakay9019]

what a dog. what a video. "we're both holding on for dear life here" - he smiled. Edit/ alot I doubt many people could do climb that, assist a dog and hold a camera at the same time as wearing a backpack!!!

It’s necessary in these places but Blue is one special dog🥰

[@seanstacey3223]

Awesome video Al 👍 I did Jake's rake 17 years ago with my three boys, an epic day! Just had a day pack though, nice and dry conditions and I left my chocolate lab at home. And I certainly didn't carry a full steak diner and beers! 😂 Blue is fantastic, you can tell that he loves every minute of it. You are certainly giving him the best life 😊 I took my dog on all of my ventures into the fells but there was no way she could have done that, the only other one that I left her behind was sharp edge. Looking forward to your next video, I'm running out of ones to watch on your channel by the way 😁

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

😂 I best keep making some more videos then. Thanks buddy👊

[@garrygreen3210]

Loving it Al, cracking stuff lad. Been many a moon since I did Jacks Rake, thanks for bringing us along. Also, and I’ve said it before, Blue is the most superb dog I have ever seen!

[@medievalladybird394]

I walked down Stickle Ghyll - after coming up from Easedale Tarn - whilst Mountain Rescue was running up with all their kit and a chopper hovering up above..... . No I would definitely never scramble up Jack's Rake. Vertigo kicked in again pulling at my feet just watching. What an amazing video from start to finish! Thank You for sharing.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Thanks mate 👊. The presence of the mountain rescue definitely reminds us of the dangers. Beautiful place though👍

[@stephanie.schulze]

Wow, awesome! A long video, but i enjoyed and trembled every second. The ascent itself - a huge challenge, but also to film everything... amazing. Thank you for taking me on this great adventure! All the best to you and blue 💙

[@mikestephens5622]

What an epic adventure. I used to think Jack's Rake was easy, climbing through a gully, but it's the exposed parts and steep climbs which are dangerous. You both earned your meal that night, and thanks for this essential view.

Thanks Mike. Not so easy with a dog but a great route👍

[@CharlotteAlvey-ji1ci]

Yeah, completely agree. Walking 20 miles or summiting a "mountain", only to celebrate with "instant noodles" is such an anti climax. Steak is where its at! :-)

Top adventure, that is one to be put on my bucket list. Blue done well, so did you climbing with one hand recording. One of my favourite videos you have done so far. Keep them coming. It was a shame the weather came in but perfect spot for the tent.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Cheers Glenn👊. I enjoyed this adventure and it is definitely one of my favourites. I didn’t record the really tough stuff and should have brought my head mount.

[@trickydicky2010]

Awesome video, really well put together on a steep old climb! And as part of my research into tackling Jacks Rake I have decided NOT to attempt Jacks Rake as I fear would be that guy stuck fast half way up or dead at the bottom! You and your dog are an inspiration!

[@ExpeditionHiker]

I love how you command Blue and how he listens to every command straight away, our family mutt, I can tell him to sniff, because that's all he does, and anything else he things he should get a treat for, the furthest I have took him in the hills so far is 8 miles then he is shattered

[@AuroraReese.89]

Oh my days, my heart is pounding watching this. My hands and feet are wet with sweat 😂 i was very glad when you both reached the top 😅

Amazing video mate! Great to see Blue putting his trust in you to help him when he’s stuck! Reminds me of when I did Tryfan via the north ridge with my two - slow and steady, picking the route & having to lift them up in places to assist! Love seeing other mountain dogs out living their best life’s 👍🏼

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Dogs definitely appreciate the adventure although consideration for their abilities is a must. Sounds like your dogs are lucky having you.

[@sarahlister1626]

Does Bluey ever show any signs of fear or doubt? He seems so confident, but I think that's because he trusts you. This is incredible to watch. We scrambled up there a few years ago and found it difficult, especially while carrying our camping gear. Great to see it from these perspectives. Thanks for sharing Al

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

I think the main thing with a dog (and humans) is to be calm yourself. Luckily it’s my nature to keep calm so Blue feeds off that. He’s obviously well practiced at mountain adventure but also our bond and experience together helps massively. Well done for making it up the Rake. It’s definitely a tough one.

[@sandrastewart1085]

[@arthurrsaker8893]

Blue, bless him, he's a dog n a half! A heart like a horse, in fact he's all heart. When you have made that kind of connection with your dog, his nobility love and loyalty shine through. All dogs are happiest when they have a job, and Blue's self appointed job is to be your companion in every adventure he can share with you. Take care of him boy, he's golden through n through and worth every moment of the time you spend together, and worth every ounce of care and love you can give him. Always find your way home safe and renewed by your days together, good luck n God bless you both.

Gave you a vote matey. It's brilliant to watch somone take on tougher routes and camps than most I have two merles so know that it takes that extra effort to keep the dogs safe in the mountains.

Loved watching the pair of you scrambling up the rock face. As a professional dog 🐕 trainer, I must say that Blue would make a fantastic Mountain Search & Rescue dog.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

He would and he is easy to train👍

[@garypostill7428]

What an awesome scramble that was, you and Blue nailed it as always, what a great team 👊

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Cheers Gary. Tough challenge with the dog but we both help each other to the top👍

[@fallonfoxaintgotnobox]

i love watching the expression on your dogs face when you cook hes pretends not to be interested, but keeps a sly eye on proceedings great video mate

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

😂 yes he does. I always like watching the footage back to see what he’s up to in the background.

[@skullfudge]

🤣🤣 I’ve noticed that too

[@ournarrowboatadventure8458]

You have a fantastic relationship with you dog, so good to see

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

We are definitely a team. It’s so important to train your dog well so you can have that trust. Blue is awesome 🥰

[@nannylinda03]

Good grief! My heart was in my mouth on that climb up 🙀🙀🙀 What an amazing, incredible dog! He is one of a kind and truly deserves all the love you give him. The pair of you are perfectly matched. On a slightly morbid note, if you did fall, would he get down the mountain wherever it was, on his own and find you? Hopefully he wouldn't jump after you 😮

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

No he’d just find his own way probably the way we came then he’d find another family that will play fetch with him and forget me forever😂😂😂. I’m not going to test it😂

[@Outdoorshuntingshooting]

I did that same climb in winter aged 11 in jeans and a woolly jumper, back in ‘76, after that summer lol.

[@harveytaylor744]

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Thanks Si I’m glad you appreciate our efforts👍

[@otf.outdoors]

Epic that Alan, you and blue done fantastic getting up jacks rake, not easy to do, with a dog and camping backpack it’s ten times as hard 😮, food looked 👌, great set up etc. brilliant mate, atb Mick 👍

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Cheers mick. Definitely tough with the extra weight and I wouldn’t advise it. 👍

[@suehill6921]

Hiya. After watching the terrifying Ben Nevis climb which gave me sweaty palms, I watched Jacks Rake, OMG this was next level. I can’t stop seeing the image of Blue clinging onto the rock as you pushed him up. Wonder dog ❤ and master.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

He’s a brilliant dog and we work well together. I trust him as much as he trusts me😊

[@philjones3335]

Don't know quite how you do it Al, but you somehow manage to make each video better than than the last, and when you consider the first one I watched was awesome, that's a he'll of a challenge. Do a lot of stuff with my border collie but not that, she has mild hip dysplasia so not for us I,m afraid. Top job pal, great video

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

😂 thanks mate. I’ll just try to keep raising my own bar. I did enjoy this one😉
