Into The Wild. Goat Packing Primitive Wilderness with My Four Legged Friends. New Firebox Stove Test

When I'm deep in the wilderness, I like to be comfortable and feel prepared. My dogs offer me some protection from predators, My pack goats help me carry my camping gear. They all keep me entertained and offer companionship. My animals are very good to me so I do my best to take good care of them. This isn't the first time I've had to turn back due to animal health concerns. Once Ash developed an infection causing her face to swell up. I packed everything up and got her the medical treatment she needed. My animals are part of the family
Being deep in the remote wilderness is so peaceful! I rarely see other people. It's just me, my animals and mother nature. No distractions. Living in the moment but not just any moment, once in a lifetime type experiences. Pure, simple, unadulterated life... Can't wait to get back up there!
I am an inventor who who creates the gear I need for my own adventures. I then offer these products to my beloved customers who seem to enjoy them as much as myself. My design philosophy is to provide for my needs as simply as possible, yet in a way which provides enjoyment of use, and promotes the true-to-camping ambience that made me fall in love with camping as a kid.
Here is a link to my website where my collection of uniquely useful camping products are available: www.fireboxstove.com/

Arrgghhh....stones! I feel for ya Levi. I could tell how concerned you were Steve. Glad you made the decision you did and that Levi is on the road to recovery. Our furry kids are so important. Levi is very lucky to have you for a Papa. There is always another lake or adventure around the corner. Now you ALL will be able to have those adventures again. :) Peace be with all of the Firebox family and friends including the furry ones. GB...

[@jcampbell100]

Thanks for being a good shepherd.

[@fireboxstove]

They are good to me so... 👍😎

[@RandomButtonPusher]

Sending good wishes for Levi's healing. As for your inventor status/relationship with customers, I think of you often in that regard as I have the wallet you designed with me every day and it has proved itself worthy over the several years since you included it as a bonus in an order I made.

[@fireboxstove]

Well thank you very much! I'm so glad you're enjoying my products 😎👍

[@ArtGardenFoodExpressions]

Thank God! Thank you for caring about Levi. You (me) could clearly see he was suffering. He's helped you have some awesome adventures. Looks like you are paying it forward.

[@fireboxstove]

About $1,000 worth of paying it forward 🤣 lol!

[@ArtGardenFoodExpressions]

@@fireboxstove wow. It's expensive, but those darling little fur companions are what help to make you a success at YouTubing. :)

[@Kenbur]

Bummer Steve. Prayers for Eli,( yes I believe in prayers for animals). Glad you were able to get him to the vet.

I'm so glad Levi is getting better. I love your hiking crew. My Italian grandmother used to give the kids extra sweet and creamy coffee with a lump of butter and a thick slice of bread for dunking for breakfast when we all visited her in the summer @ the beach in CT. Seeing you do that brought back some great memories. What a beautiful place on this hike. I look forward to seeing more of it when Levi is better. Thanks for all you do!

[@fireboxstove]

That is awesome. Thank you, Levi is doing much better thankfully. We appreciate you watching and commenting.

[@damianhernanadez3083]

I’ve been following the journey from the debut of the goats and it’s still crazy how they don’t run away or cause trouble, super chill pets

[@fireboxstove]

Lol they were trained daily from a very young age and bottle fed so at this point I think they accept me as part of the herd.

[@alvarogaitan2529]

Hope Levi recovers uneventfully and you and your menagerie can resume your hikes. Wonderful that you take such good care of him...he's a lucky goat! ATB!
