I take a walk through the woods with my dog Skye, on Vancouver Island

Thank you for filming, editing and posting this lovely footage of your morning dog walk. Balm for the soul and much needed at the present moment.

[@FilipinaAndTheForeigner]

Yes beautiful footage

[@SharonsTips123]

When you sat against that log I remembered how I used to look for a log to sit on when my husband and I would go fishing. We sat on the bank of the Mississippi and I loved hearing the waves lap the bank and see the big boats with lots of barges go by. But mostly I loved hearing the birds and seeing the fish jump up out of the water. I liked the breeze on my face. I miss those times. My feet don’t let me walk like I used to so I really enjoy watching you and Skye. The music was so gentle and relaxing. By the way I liked the Bird art too. Thanks!

I’m longing for a dog, it’s a wonderful companion. Thank you for this beautiful walk on Vancouver island.

Oh thank you, Jen, for this wonderful walk… truly so inspiring and it warms my heart. Much love from Nova Scotia. ❤️🙂🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾

[@silverandsolo]

You are so welcome!

[@joybird5495]

I have 2,dogs. I love walking them in nature, especially before others are out.

[@silverandsolo]

It's my favourite time!

[@dianepearson3840]

Sky is a cool dog. My Mazi is a malshipoo. Similar to Sky but smaller. They are so wonderful. Such a nice video. You are super cool too!!

[@bdfalk]

Beautiful video! I don’t know if I have ever enjoyed a video without any talking. Agree with the comments about the music choice you made AND the nice balance so we could still hear the sounds of nature. Your dog looks so joyfilled!

[@silverandsolo]

Thank you so much!

[@ruthbentley8861]

Hi. I’ve just come across your channel and watched 2 videos so far. The first was how you got started and the numbers you needed to get monetised and now this beautiful dog walk. I’ve just given up a business that I’ve fallen out of love with (hated it for a few years) I’m a dog groomer also and love that although it doesn’t pay the bills but decided if I don’t stop the other business I’ll never find anything else. You’ve inspired me to look more closely at making videos, even though I’m not good at tech stuff I’ll do what you did and learn. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@ladysapphiremoon839]

How beautiful and thank you for sharing your part of the world. I live in Australia. I’m an introvert, 63 years old and still working full time. Nature is my go to, quiet serenity, perhaps a little easier to stop those conversations in the head during a walk. Thank you so much. PS I’ve subscribed 😊

[@silverandsolo]

You are so welcome!

[@FilipinaAndTheForeigner]

LOVE the NATURE there, and here 👍

[@3k445]

Love love watching the peace and serentity of your walks. ❤❤❤

[@MilenaKoncar]

WOWWWW! I enjoyed this video SO MUCH!! EVERYTHING was so PERFECT! That place is HEAVENLY! Where is it?? I wanna go one day! This video made me feel so close to God! And that music could not be more perfectly chosen for this place! So relaxing and overwhelmingly spiritual! So me and what i like! Whats the name of the song?? I want to put it on all day! And the last finishing touch was the bell sound of your dog. Made it SOOOOO relaxing! So zen! And seeing your dog so free in this place, made me feel so happy! I love dogs more than humans. I dont know what i would do without my dog! Dogs are my life! And seeing yours so happy, was such an amazing feeling! I truly LOVED this video. So well filmed. U really know how to show the place.

[@MilenaKoncar]

Oh OK! I read the description. There u say the place and the song. I will DEFINITELY go there one day! And maybe we can even meet! Im in Los Angeles, California...

[@kathysamson56]

So peaceful and beautiful scenery! Love the soothing music! Skye is enjoying your walk together! I was born & raised in Vancouver and travelled the island many many times! I now live in Nova Scotia, my husband's home province. I am thankful I found your channel! You are awesome Jenn! Keep up the great work!

[@JudiH-ig6uu]

So calming and soothing! Thank you.

[@silverandsolo]

You're welcome 😊

[@lucymcrae162]

Lovely area. I live northcoast BC, it is much the same. As it's spring we have to watch for wildlife, grizzlies, black bears, and more often lately Cougars....

[@wendybowman5305]

just so peaceful and the morning light on those trees near the end of the video just beautiful. Skye always looks so happy and free. Lovely music.

[@silverandsolo]

Thanks so much

[@Kathy-ie9lt]

I'm a brand new subscriber to your channel, this is only the second video I have watched. What a beautiful place you have to walk your pup! Really enjoyed the relaxing walk. And a weird side note.... around 7:02 in the video, it popped in my head that you resembled one of my favorite actresses....Tyne Daly.

[@katie2412]

Truly Magical ✨🧚‍♀️✨ Thank you Kate 🍃🐢🍃

[@deborahcouzens4877]

Thank you for a stunning, peaceful and serene video. Love your dog and the music is just mesmerising. So apt with the scene and bell from time to time...blessed to find your channel and wish you so much success with it 😊❤🐕

[@SMtWalkerS]

What a beautiful area! And what a nice, even maintained trail. I walk my 4 little dogs every day, but I have to walk 2, then 2. They get me outside and moving every day.

[@simone.russell]

[@pipmc7927]

Kia ora Jen. You have a really nice video narration and presentation style. Your no nonsense content and the intonation of your voice make for an excellent audience experience. Are you able to divulge what kind of work you do? It would be interesting to hear a little bit about your career.

[@silverandsolo]

Thanks! I'd rather keep my 9-5 separate from my online life. Cheers!

Hey, I just found your channel. Thanks from another silver Jen (and new subscriber). Love your content!

Thanks for subbing!

[@NonaMaryGrace1952]

Thanks for sharing this with us. 💕NonnaGrace 🐓

[@earthdogpj1]

Was looking for analytics, as it’s been awhile. What happened to Office Jen? Who films you on these walks through nature? I know other KZbinrs have a relative filming them. Might be a helpful tidbit for those looking g to start a channel. Just beautiful scenery!!

[@silverandsolo]

I stopped analytics on Sundays when the channel got monetized. But they’ll be back next week with how much KZbin paid me for March! I film everything myself on the walks which entails a lot of back-and-forthing and editing for me, but it’s enjoyable planning and setting up the shots!

[@earthdogpj1]

@@silverandsolo Wow , that is lots of work on the video all by yourself. You add to your 10.000 steps staging it, but the nature walks are so beautiful and certainly meditative. It’s nice to mix in the advice-chats with your beautiful homeland.

[@mollymaryna6118]

5:24 Stunning.

[@Terirn65]

My sister lives in the San Juan Islands (Anacortes). It’s so beautiful there. What a nice place to walk.

[@silverandsolo]

I've visited Anacortes several times...my US family celebrates July 4 at Roche Harbor! Lovely little island!

[@lisanovich3285]

It’s a small world. I live on the north end of Whidbey Island now, just 20 minutes from Anacortes, grew up summering at my grandparents place on San Juan Island and spent 10 years living in BC. We are all neighbors 😎

[@Homeschoolencouraged]

I just watched your tips on YouTubing. Thank you for being real in this world. Where do you get your music and what EDITOR do you use?

[@silverandsolo]

I always list the music in the description, for this one: Music: I subscribe to Epidemic Sound, share.epidemicsound.com/00wtp8 The music on this video was: Drift Up - Amber Glow And I use the free version of DaVinci Resolve to edit the videos.

[@Homeschoolencouraged]

@@silverandsolo Thank you! I’ll check descriptions next time.

[@calypso13100]

That was lovely thank you for sharing! I'm so glad that where I live in Minnesota we're finally getting some spring weather so that I can get out walking and Hiking again. I do have a question about the over the shoulder pack that you are wearing can you show it better or explain where you got it? I have a waist pack but I sure would like to get something different

[@silverandsolo]

It's a packable cross-body purse from MEC (Mountain Equipment Coop) (it's an outdoor store like REI in the U.S.) Sadly they don't have them anymore, but I love mine since it's soooooo light and I can ball it up in my hand if I need to!

[@l.5832]

@@silverandsolo I also live alone on Vancouver Island! I took a walk today and was going to go down to the ocean but the walk would take me through bush. Alas, this is the one problem with being a single female. Even in a park (or especially) I don't feel safe walking in a forested area alone. I was disappointed, and turned back. I can access the ocean via more populated areas. It's a pity because the forested route looked nice. I live in a condo and not allowed dogs.

[@lumpygravy52]

It's so nice there! How did you find such a spot? I'm in Manitoba and have been thinking about moving to Vancouver Island. Any tips or info would be great!

[@silverandsolo]

I found my spot by sheer luck, but Vancouver Island is my kind of paradise. It's a little pricier than the mainland, and fewer places for a little retail therapy, but the pros (in my opinion) outweigh the cons! North island gets snow and is a little more rustic, but Campbell River is a wonderful spot, I have cousins living there. Tofino and Ucluelet and Port Alberni on the west coast are all fairly isolated, but tight-knit and vibrant communities. Nanaimo and Victoria are the largest cities on the island and are further south. I'm in a little community in the South and just love it!

[@ajwells322]

Was 'Virgin River' filmed here?

[@silverandsolo]

Not in my neck of the woods, but in British Columbia, yes.

[@pennyrush8666]

do you swim in that river?

[@silverandsolo]

I do not, but LOTS of people do, both winter and summer!

Sorry if this is too personal but did you ever experience a mid life crisis? Might be a good topic for a Silver and Solo. Or for your female audience, your experience with menopause

[@silverandsolo]

Nope, never had a mid-life crisis....well, not yet! I've loved every minute of growing older and wiser and having more freedom of both thought and action!

[@Amalthea16]
