Relaxing dog walk along a salmon river on Vancouver Island

Join me and my dog Skye for a relaxing walk along a quiet salmon river early morning on Vancouver Island. Gentle music and ambient forest sounds blend perfectly with the occasional tinkle of Skye's bear-bell.

I think you're finding what other youtubers find -- it's a lot of work, and you get tired and feel pressed to keep finding content. Starting is one thing. Continuing without repeating yourself is another. So yes, take the summer off, and we'll still be here! And thank you anyway.

[@kateangelo]

Maybe just make a video like this that's 30 minutes long so I can have it on while I work! So calming!

[@reimaginedbyjacqueline0517]

One nice thing about KZbin is that we can watch your Sunday walks on replay while you take a much deserved break!

[@rebeccacamacho-sobczak4282]

We love you weekly walk videos!!!!! WAH!!!!! However, I do understand the importance of a break. And...BELIEVE ME....you will love retirement!!!!!

[@bessieoriotis5104]

Come back after your break. You will be missed. We'll be Waiting. ❤❤❤

[@LurkerSmurf]

Enjoy your summer vacation! YT is a second job, and cutting back is perfectly understandable, especially with your extra Patreon content.

[@nickjones8268]

Good Morning, thank you as you were my inspiration for creating my 1st small channel upload yesterday, you gave me the confidence and great info. Enjoy your summer with your family ❤

[@MomsTravelTeam]

I was going to check out you video but I can't find it on your channel. Good luck to you with your channel.

Hi Jen, I just got back from Vancouver it was so pretty, Now I am dying of heat in California.

[@lscostello4995]

I think it is a great idea to take a break from the pressure to do a Sunday video, enjoy your vacation from the job, do family summer activities and take more relaxation time! You need that like most of us do! Will watch for you on Wednesdays and enjoy it when you can be here. Thank you! ❤

[@SharonsTips123]

Wonderful walk with you and Skye. I’ll miss you but you do what’s best for you. I’m still trying to catch up with binge watching your channel, and I rewatch a lot of your videos. I want to say Thank You!

[@lindseymayyoga]

This is so lovely. ❤ I just moved away from Vancouver and miss our peaceful forest dog walks so much, but this makes me feel right at home. 🥰 And enjoy your vacation!!

[@mollymaryna6118]

You do life. We see you when we see you. Enjoy your family and friends and garden and fluff baby.

I lived in Vancouver for a few years. Vancouver Island is beautiful. Hello from the West of Ireland.

[@laurarichcreekvoiceactor]

I dont blame you one but--enjoy your break, rest well, and I, for one, will be eager for your return! I'll have to start watching the Wednesday videos! 😉

[@sattooh]

Good morning Jen. Thank you for sharing your lovely walk with me this morning. I absolutely love the beauty. Skye's bear bells are a beautiful background. I hope you enjoy your vacation and thank you again for sharing your walk. 🐾🐾

[@fourdayhomestead2839]

Time/balance is much needed while still working. Enjoying your videos. They are calming & informative.

[@wendybowman5305]

Yes Jen your life sounds very busy. I am retired & I know what you mean. The “ real job” does take a lot as it is the must in life until retirement, then the pace of life is delicious in this new chapter of life. Enjoy your summer & this vacation. After I watched your Patreon videos I really saw the hours of work that go into these videos. I also get that life is ever changing so what you have been doing will change & evolve. Thanks for your commitment to Silver & Solo. I love the content & you are so down to earth which is so refreshing. 😊

[@attagirltravels]

I just watched a vidIQ video that featured you today.! I was like “I follow her!” 😊

[@WhatsUrWhy]

Mr. Beast makes 2 videos a month. You did it, you are monetized, congratulations. Your videos have content people want, they add value. I have yet to watch one of your Wednesday videos, (I will) like you I'm on my own journey, but I'm still in the pre January 1st stage... I'm just starting to post and my vids suck...lol. I have watched all of your Sunday videos, some multiple times (and I don't skip ads lol) those have added a lot of value to me, so thank you. I've liked every video. Have a great summer.

[@janegoldberg]

I will really miss your Sunday videos; they are my favourite. But your priorities -- family and rest -- make absolute sense. Hope you have the best break! ❤

[@HealthyKS]

Your videos always make my day better, Jen. Thank you from my most grateful heart.

[@Noself-h3e]

Your Sunday walk videos have been such a source of peace for me and have really boosted my spirits. I am hopeful for their return in the future. Thank you and wishing you a wonderful vacation and summer.

I'm definitely looking forward to the Crockpot buttered chicken recipe! Sounds delicious!😋

Hi Jen, Good for you respecting and finding the right balance of your time. When a hobby becomes work, it’s often no longer enjoyable and time-consuming. Btw, excellent “crunch” factor in this vid. 😊 I will miss it and your walks with your furbaby. See you in your other vids 🤗

Happy Sunday. I certainly understand your need for a break to balance your time taping and still have a life. I will miss our Sunday walks and Skye's little tinkling bell. But, we'll still be here for your Wednesday vlogs. Please enjoy your vaycay as we say here in the USA. 😊❤🐾🙋 --Paula in Ohio

[@brendawahlberg7341]

I do love your walks to music. The crunch of the rocks beneath your feet, and the jingle of your pup’s collar❤️

[@nomado3650]

The nature is breathtakingly beautiful! Thank you for sharing! Not all places are like that. I live in Alberta, it’s quite different here with prairies, as you can imagine 😁. So, it’s lovely to see so much green and water.

[@nomado3650]

[@silverandsolo]

That is awesome!

[@Syl-Vee]

I thought I would work until death. One day I realized that I couldn't actually afford to work anymore. Imagine the shock and the relief. Of course, I soon realized that retirement is work, too. It's just who you answer to that's different!

We will miss you and your dog.

[@NOT-WOKE-007]

[@JoanVBruce]

Thanks Jen for another woodsy walk, enjoy your time off. I wonder when you do your walk? It's 7pm Sunday here and I know it's 11am on V.I. and here your video is out for 8 hours already and it's been edited. Are we a week behind? Anyway it's of no concern I like it as is. Will miss it. 😂❤

[@SophiesMom55]

Jen - I will miss your Sunday walks videos with Skye but commend you for taking time to refresh and renew and relish family and friends. I will continue to enjoy the Wednesday posts and look forward to your next adventure. 😎🤗

[@SIGCruiser]

While I'll miss the regular Sunday videos, I do understand how "vlog-creep" can happen and suddenly you're editing all of the time. Enjoy your time!

[@cricket6410]

Good morning… lovely video. Enjoy your 2 weeks off! Curious- do you see bears fishing for salmon along that river walk?

[@silverandsolo]

Not yet! But in the fall we do...

[@AdventuresOfSpeckles]

What a beautiful place for a hike!

[@786veronika]

Beautiful view and your very inspiring thankU

[@dbandia]

I'm an older solo, too. One of the things I've recently taken up is painting. I'm terrible at it but it's meditative and not having the pressure of thinking I have to make something that pleases other people is very pleasant. That said, I'm going to try doing a real portrait. On the off-chance that I get a recognizable likeness, would you be comfortable with it if I tried painting a portrait of you? Entirely ok to say no. I just feel like you own your face and you should have a say if someone uses your image so I don't feel comfortable going ahead without asking.

[@MomsTravelTeam]

Have a nice break! I'm working on my channel and content and you and others are inspiring. ❤😊

[@youngkea4642]

Thank you for your videos. They are so interesting! Who videotapes you when you are walking?

[@silverandsolo]

Me!

[@youngkea4642]

Sometimes we see your back as if someone is videotaping you from behind. But in any case, thank you for your reply. Your videos have enriched my life. 😊

[@minerva4545]

Hi Jen, I'm no youtuber but from what I've heard it can be hard to come back from a break - the 'algorithm' makes it hard. What I suggest is that you outsource the editing for your Sunday walking videos. Should be easy to find someone as it's a common thing it seems, I even see people offering their services in the comments section of some KZbin videos.

[@silverandsolo]

Ah, but most KZbinrs only make one video per week, while I've been doing 2! And the Sunday videos are not related at all to the Wednesday videos, so I think I'll be ok!

[@mtnshelby7059]

One video a week is more than enough for most people to produce.

[@bmg6587]

I've been working at home for the last 25 years. What is it that you do at home?

[@ruthmarner6582]

Jen I think you are slimming down - not that it matters to me.

[@BlessGirlJoe]

Take the break you deserve and rest and restart

[@KHANGAMING-z6b]

Hey , I hope you're doing well. I came across your KZbin channel, and I was impressed by the valuable content you share with your audience. However, I believe that improving your thumbnails could significantly enhance the overall presentation of your videos. As someone with three years of experience in thumbnail design, I believe I can help elevate your channel's visual appeal. Let me know if you'd like to discuss this further and explore how we can better enhance your thumbnails to represent your content. Best Regards, HASNAIN GRAPHICS.

[@silverandsolo]

No thanks.
