Not gunna lie. I have equal parts of "Can't wait to see how it all ends" and also "No! I don't want it to end." This has been fun to follow along.

[@lyric8006]

Agree❣️❣️

[@tamalamaland]

Never underestimate the potential danger of a Canadian squirrel when you are in possession of cookies.

[@tidelinetoalpine]

My precious TimTams 😆

[@jodistpierre8727]

The paddle board company should sponsor you …you have put that board through it ….another great video :)

[@NK-iv1ik]

Cannot get enough of swimming Frank! ❤ full of joy watching his legs running happily under water, like there is no pain what’s forever!

[@lynnef3297]

I love watching Frank swim, the sound of the waves and the beautiful sunset❣️

[@lorrilj7289]

I’m so sad that this adventure is almost over!😢 I’m enjoying it very much. Living vicariously. 💞🐾

[@sandollarj504]

I have so enjoyed the portage paddle adventure. It been great to have an Amanda Frank video to look forward to each day.

[@deborahg4599]

What an epic thing to do with your best friend. Frank is such a sweet soul. I still say you’re amazing! Enjoy!!

[@christinamerritt9669]

I just never get enough of Frank's underwater paws justa paddling❤

[@tidelinetoalpine]

Maybe I will have to do a Frank swimming compilation

[@goodandgreen]

@@tidelinetoalpineyes to Frank swims video, he has a serious fandom 🐕❤️‍🩹😁

[@GaiaCarney]

Frank swimming compilation?? Yesh, pleash 🤗 Especially his tail flippity slaps 🐕

[@dynoreed7235]

Ooh a Frank swimming compilation, I'm there! ❤️ 🐕

[@lisarichards3853]

Being cooler makes "Just Existing." Is EXACTLY how I feel! Lol God bless you n Frank. Enjoy your weekend darlin. 🎉❤❤🎉

[@msanabria8159]

Frank looks sooo healthy..and handsome..❤

[@susanscovill6817]

Loved watching Frank swim from underwater. So free from the difficulties of the land. He is such a happy boy and obviously loves travelling and appreciative of your assistance. You’re a great team. Cheers from Vancouver eh!

[@teresapelletier2271]

This was a good choice to stay there for the day. Beautiful sunset and even though you are exhausted you and Frank look happy and content.

[@tidelinetoalpine]

I find it’s important to balance hard work, leisure and play on big adventures and this was our play day

[@maryfonti6114]

Amanda . Congrats. I am proud of you. The risk is surely going to be rewarding. I love how you love Frank. I also love how much Frank loves you. You are blessed for so many reasons.

[@tidelinetoalpine]

Thank you ☺️

[@joannahatton99]

Frank looks like he is loving this! Swimming - one of his favorite things and so good for his arthritis, retrieving logs thrown by Amanda and happily chewing on them, rolling around in the dirt, riding on the paddle board - truly a happy dog! He also looks like he is moving better. Great trip and videos, Amanda.

[@lindasmith2935]

Hi Amanda... what a great series of videos. So far these have been my favs that you've done and I can't wait for the last one. Not sure why these have really stood out from your others other than maybe because I found an online map of the area your trip took place and can sort of follow along. Wow, what an area to discover. I hope you do this again maybe next year and we can follow along again. Thanks for the great views, your sharing of your struggles and your triumphs along the way. Your little buddy Frank is so cool and has a wonderful life with you. Love the swimming with Frank segments. Wish I was there... Looking forward to you new adventures.

[@tammyjantzen9004]

Beautiful as ever! And I love watching Frank scratch his back. He really looks so content on this trip. You're a good Momma.

[@tidelinetoalpine]

He loved this trip! A proper adventure like the good old days

[@cathiecollins7320]

That swimming has got to be so therapeutic for Frank❤

[@mpfractal3138]

Frank is such a dear old soul 💚 This has been a great series so far, love it! Have fun and watch out for those killer squirrels !

[@3generations393]

Frank is such a joy to watch. I'm so happy with this adventure series & wish you both all the best. ❌⭕, Iris and Little One 👋🐾

[@southernskywoman]

Your sweet beautiful smile at 18:03 !!! The joy radiates from you......

[@cherylannesley937]

Bruce GSD is my Frank. We are only apart when he waits for me for grocery visits or the odd appointment. Love and understand the wonderful bond you share. Your talents in documenting it for us is remarkable!!!!Watching is utter joy, so thank you.

[@tidelinetoalpine]

Pats for Bruce 😊

[@richardp6461]

18:04 Amanda saying "I love this sh_t" without saying a word.

[@tidelinetoalpine]

💯

[@sallydansereau1270]

Glad to see that someone constructed a loo at that spot. I am sure it gets plenty of traffic throughout the summer 😬. Gorgeous sunset! ☮️

[@user-dr2js7bv2i]

You found another great campsite. It's so nice to be able to swim whenever you and Frank feel like it. Frank seems quite contented.❤❤

[@Woodthrush]

Every time I see Frank chew wood I think, "Who needs a dental cleaning when you can chew a log?" 😉 lol Love this adventure! ❤

[@tidelinetoalpine]

It’s so true! The vet always compliments his teeth.

[@moochops2]

This! I was gonna say Frank must have the healthiest teeth for a dog his age!!

[@ThePeachyFlamingo]

Frank is so cool! 😎

[@lyric8006]

Love the underwater pics of Frank. That lake is so pristine clear and beautiful.

[@elliemay-y4l]

These are blockbuster adventures. What fun! Great to see Frank barefooting on all fours again. Hope he's healed good and well.

[@deborahwhitcomb357]

Swim Feeties!!!!! 🐾🤗🐾 What a great spot! Im glad you took this day to relax & enjoy! Such fun videos to watch! 💜

[@GaiaCarney]

glowing, radiant just swinging in a hammock the slow life suits you 😌

[@tidelinetoalpine]

It sure does! But especially in contrast to challenging days of adventure.

[@DonnasRoadTrips]

Beautiful scenery, love seeing Frank swim for his sticks

[@imallierambles]

Frank seems to be so happy out there and so do you. ❤

[@moochops2]

Lovely chilled out time here. You deserve a bit of relaxing in the late summer sunshine and well done for saving some cookies!

[@Sammy_the_DJ]

What a lovely spot for lunch!

[@DoreenGregory-sj3df]

What you are doing Amanda,is living your dream with your best friend. Good for you…

[@lisarichards3853]

That sunset reminded me of why I chose you to be my #1 YT'r for the year. I found you via Van City Vanlife several years ago. You have become my #1 since then. Keep on Keeping on kiddo. 🌸✨✌️🌞🌸👍🙏🙏

[@tidelinetoalpine]

Thank you, it is a honour 🙏🏼

[@fancyoo8670]

Omg..i had to laugh at your uphill struggle.. great angle. With breathing shows how difficult . And King Frank.. luxuriously sitting comfortably not worried about his porter..lol . Thanks Amanda i love your videos

[@1954shadow]

Portage is a, four-letter word, lol!

[@goodandgreen]

This series is excellent, I’m not ready for the last part to be tomorrow! But I also know you don’t have an editing team 😂 and we are lucky that you share so much, thank you. This series shows how much you hustle, both outdoors and in video production, you have my respect 😅😅❤!

[@tidelinetoalpine]

Thank you so much 🙏🏼 I really really appreciate it.

[@rachadventuresinliv]

Frank's tail dragging in the water always gets me giggling, he is awesome. You can definitely see how much he enjoys fetching his stick in the water, his tail tries to waggle even when submerged in the water. You are doing so WELL, very proud of you 💜🐾

[@marianfrances4959]

LOL on the squirrel!!!! Glad you enjoyed your cookies😊. What a trip.👌👍😎🇨🇦🐾💝

[@christineverbecque1783]

Just WAUW ❤ This serie is outstanding! What an exellent footage, the way you capture everything, mesmerising… What an amount of work, the logistics, the planning, the filming, the taking care of Frank, the editing…. Soooo amazing. Thank you for this 🙏🏻

[@LindaG858]

You are so brave to do these trips. Love Frank!

[@ChristineD8093]

I love seeing you smile

[@tidelinetoalpine]

Thank you 🫶🏻

[@LeahGoodwin-nh5dg]

Tim tams!!! The best cookie in the world! I admire your persistence and outcome. Those dangerous Canadian squirrels gotta watch out for them! Thanks so much for sharing!

[@TrueBeliever6491]

Glad it was only a squirrel 😂😂

[@susanadams-wauro6716]

You are simply glowing with joy!! This has been such a great series Amanda! Hope you do more.... exploring with you and Frankaliscious is a blast!!! Cheers from Ontario 🫶🐾🌞

[@darlaunderwood2399]

Amanda you inspire me so much and have the up most respect for you and Frank! The relationship the two of you have for one another is the best gift a soul could have living on this planet. So adore the both of you ❤

[@spookydonkey2195]

Day 5 of commenting on every video in this fantastic series. The water camera is a great addition!

[@tidelinetoalpine]

🙌🏼🏆 thank you!

[@LorettaKnelsen-go7mf]

Hi loved your series adventures with Frank. Frank is so adorable and he loves his swimming. Thank you. Have a great weekend. ❤️😃👋

[@lindadroege5564]

Looking forward to the next video! So much fun and beautiful nature 🐿️🐿️🐿️🐿️🐿️

[@cotter9751]

What a sweet day! Today's adventure I noticed in particular the sound of the water, especially while Frank was swimming. And - I remembered to look up TimTams - not sure I've ever seen a package. Looking forward to the Finale!

[@rimonagale1625]

Rejuvenation! Lovely!

[@megkav2921]

Perspective really is everything! Calling it a "camping trip" releases all expectation and connotation associated with a "paddling trip" and allows you to just enjoy... I no longer commit myself, I don't go for a "surfing trip" or a "hiking trip" or a "snorkelling trip" etc. I just hit the road for a few weeks and see what happens and i am never disappointed. Btw i have recently discovered "Frank Salutations" and am very much enjoying...

[@GK49245]

Fun day. Thanks for sharing.

[@goodandgreen]

Yes to a gear video please! Include how long you’ve had it, underconsumption core style. And I would love to hear what your dream replacement for each item would be if you had unlimited funds 😂❤ I learn from your opinion.

[@denisemckiver69]

Perhaps Sasquatch is spying on you or a Sasquatch squirrel 😅. Great underwater footage. 😊 ❤.

[@cheesecake1003]

Now I'm googling Tim Tam😂

[@marymactavish]

Search for "Tim tam slam" as well. So good.

[@cherylp365]

I’ve loved every episode of this journey! You have such strength it’s inspiring❣️ What a great memory for you and Frank!❤️

[@charlottegunning1548]

Such a Great trip you n Frank are on! So Beautiful, love that we get to come along Without navigating n maneuvering your "ship" n cargo thru those portages!! ( That looked Hard the first day!) I think i would have turned around. Too challenging for me! I so Admire your fortitude n commitment to Go and Enjoy! You n Frank are Excellent to each other n i Love that too.! ❤

[@efortunywhitton]

What a stunning sunset!! Saved the best for the end of the day: sunset and biscuits! 😋❤ x

[@sheilaren123]

Awesome video again, Amanda ❤

[@DallasLemieux]

This has been great Amanda, love your’s and Franks mini series 🥰👍👏🙏

[@dynoreed7235]

Aww I love Frank swimming seen from under water. That was a unique loo, but at least there was one. All the best to everyone but especially Sweet Frank.

[@gerrylake]

That’s an epic trip. Impressive.

[@mollydoran9488]

true reality! TY

[@michelle18474]

Haha sneaky squirrel 🐿️, well done Amanda great trip great viewing you are one strong women mentally n physically, 💪👍🏼😘🇦🇺

[@revyred8679]

Amanda when you do the supplies list video will you please also list Franks items you take with you. Maybe there's things we/I might not think about taking. I'll need a brush for my mini schnauzer 😂

[@goodandgreen]

Yes! Great idea

[@juliaperry5244]

Have loved this trip so much that I dug my old kayak out of 2 feet of grass for my own trip. Have followed you on maps. I live in FL so I want to scream, "watch out for alligators in that water" 😂❤

[@tammycruz8189]

Great video Amanda. Stay safe . Hugs n Love Always From Your Friend In Michigan Tam 💓 💗 💕

[@marilynhoward4561]

Such a beautiful adventure. 😊❤

[@jomicheleseidl2033]

I love this series, and the artistry and narration is so good. This is a really nice format and I hope you'll do it again when the occasion is right.

[@tidelinetoalpine]

Thank you ☺️ I have actually been considering doing another mini series like this again someday.

[@LaNette1]

Hey Amanda, what a fun video beautiful spot by the lake there at least this one looked like mostly on the road so it was a little bit easier but still a workout you and Frank you guys always make my day. Be safe out there.🇺🇸♥️🙏🙂✌️⛺️🐾🏔️🚐🇨🇦

[@silliesallie302]

Amazing trip, you deserved the beautiful spot. Thanks for all the Frank footage.

[@cathiecollins7320]

Enjoying this series of videos very much!❤

[@marymactavish]

Wasps are jalapeño poppers for dogs.

[@tidelinetoalpine]

😝

[@veronicabalfourpaul2288]

So nice to see you looking happy! A great camping holiday.

[@Ashlee1985]

I wish I were Frank 😍

[@goodandgreen]

me too, what an amazing life. I am disabled like Frank so I can relate 😂 cry / laugh ❤

[@suzanneethier1450]

hi amenda ave a good day☺

[@tidelinetoalpine]

Thanks! You as well 😁

[@DG-rp2fe]

Double chocolate Tim Tams I hope, they're the best. 😊

[@_andy_gibb_]

That looked like such quiet and peaceful spot... 😌 Try saying Ten Tim Tams ten times fast! 😂

[@leahharbison4932]

❤❤❤

[@user-dl8hi7lh1d]

This is an amazing trip, how are you going back?

[@sarawarrener2193]

Looks like a great decision to have a relaxing peaceful day. How has Franks foot held up on the trip?😊

[@lisarichards3853]

Wow that bathroom is a great idea, one that should be adapted in the USA. BLM lands etc... The simplest solutions AGAIN!

[@markdorman3600]

Your very beautiful! Hope everything is going well!

[@mariama-sx2cx]

👍🏼🙂

[@user-ev8fn1nj2m]

Like everyone else i luv watching franks beautiful legs under water its like no pain or resistance at all!

[@heathenhedgewife7208]

🐿😳

[@tobewiser1629]

Next time consider a waist strap or rig up a shoulder-center-back-pull harness that will allow you to pull the craft on center; that's what I did, but not for a watercraft it was a wagon load of shite.

[@cathiecollins7320]

Amanda, try wearing bike shorts or yoga shorts, it would really help❤

[@scottmcfarland2149]

🐾🙏🏻✌🏻🛶

[@zoizisi5598]

Hello Amanda Beautiful video Frank kiss 💋❤️

[@UnNoSeQue2]

I love that you take Frank with you in your adventures, but, sorry I have to tell you this, he is an old dog with arthritis. Isn't this too much for him. Please forgive me for telling you this, you are a wonderful person, and I love you.

[@tidelinetoalpine]

No it’s not too much for him, he was more lively and mobile after the trip than before so it was good for both his spirit and his body.

[@karenpeck8525]
