Woodland Camp Wind Rain Firebox cooking,Baker style tent backwoods bungalow. No dog. No talking

This video may well send you off to sleep!
In a reflective mood after losing my little camping dog Elsa to cancer. This is the first camp without her. Beautiful little dog that she was, I'll dedicate this one to her memory

[@anroadking]

Nothing needed to be said Sandy, I think we all understood.

[@BigGoucho]

You didn't need to talk. She was right there with you all the time. You can't see her anymore but she watched you from the edge of the light.

[@rolandpl1958]

Dear Sandy, I'm sure Elsa is gratefull that she was your dog and could live her life with you.

[@WiltshireMan]

She had a good and happy life for sure Roland. She died so peacefully too. A fortunate dog I would say.

[@rialobran]

One of the finest videos you've made without a doubt, poignant, we probably all felt the sadness in this. I know I did.

[@WiltshireMan]

Yes Si, thats the first camp out of the way without the little dog!

[@mrskinflint99]

Lovely video Sandy - a poignant reminder of what a huge part our 'four legged' friends play in our lives and our own emotional well-being. Never forgotten.

[@blackbeauty206]

At the time a bushman mate of mine told me always carry 1” squares of old bicycle inner tube for assisting firelighting events in wet weather got me out of lot of scrapes fading light etc. good quality post and a relief no speak. Lots of artistic license when needed Bravo ( loved the daybreak prep work super) 👍

[@fepowson]

Elsa will not be forgotten Sandy. Take care.........Les

cheers Les

[@kevkeelan5106]

Man has never had a better friend, than our dogs.

[@NeathVideos]

I watched the whole video, and had a feeling that this was made with Elsa in mind- then I read the description! Lovely video, Sandy

[@WiltshireMan]

Elsa very much would have been with me had she still been here. She was a fun little dog

[@critter856]

Just lovley sandy. Watching this hugely calms down my anxiety. Hope all is well

[@WiltshireMan]

Hi Chris, It was good to get out into nature even though my old dog is no longer around. Glad this helped you with your anxiety Sandy

[@jurgenhornung9289]

Great Video...you are my favorit KZbinr...with or without words...and a big Inspiration for outdoor-aktivities to me. Hope you are ok. Greetings from Germany Jürgen

[@christaylor4263]

Bc Bouley,,, my thoughts to

We’ll all miss Elsa. She was a lovely little dog and clearly an excellent camping companion. At least you may reflect on all the wonderful trips you had together. I’m quite sure she enjoyed them every bit as much as you did.

[@beakytzw]

Sorry to hear about Elsa, its devastating to lose your closest friend, they don't judge you and take every step next to you with their heads high. This video is perfect in her memory, peaceful and shows the beauty that is Wiltshire (I am a Merseyside man). I settled in Trowbridge after I left the Army, Wiltshire is one of the UK's little treasures.

[@clivecro4971]

Beautifully shot Sandy. I am very sad for your loss as my old boy is in his twilight years and I am going to miss him so much. Take care and thank you for sharing this beautiful piece of work.

[@PeaceRamblersGrail]

Brilliant video Sandy! It's good to be quiet and listen to the beautiful sounds of nature. Although water straight from a spring can be edible, it's best to boil it just to be on the safe side. There are people who love the sound of rain hitting the tent, but there are also people who hate it. Thanks for sharing, take care, Jordan.

[@PaulBuikema]

Thank you Sandy. Such a nice virtual break from the crazy world. So sorry you lost the dog, I know how much she meant to you mate. Be well.

[@cathyjay2569]

I’m a 61 yo granny in Tennessee, USA, and I watch and LOVE all your videos. You are very creative. Have you ever thought about marketing some of your inventions? Those chair and table supports are ingenious, and I know lots of people who would jump at the chance to purchase some! Thank you for all you do. ~Cathy

[@andycharnell]

I always love the sound of rain on canvass when your warm and dry is peaceful

[@sezwho8561]

No words spoken . No need pictures tell their own story.

[@JohnSmith-pd1fz]

Probably the most thought provoking bushcraft video you have made, Mate. Thank you very much for posting and sharing your memories with us.

[@northofenglandoutdoors6557]

There are animals who have to endure terrible lives. Elsa was loved and continues to be loved. I don't believe in life after death except to the extent that while you are alive and remember those who have gone before you... they stll live. Love this vid Sandy

[@norfolkskies5243]

Wonderful peaceful video Sandy, thank you. I believe Elsa was right by your side in spirit, she's not gone far!

[@drummingriffin]

I am so sorry to hear about Elsa, but take comfort in knowing that she had a wonderful life with you and your family Sandy. She will always be there with you at home and at camp.

[@billcotton1551]

The cloud sequence was incredible! This is relief for Covid madness.

[@spooktasticaparanormal]

Hello sandy, what a lovely heart warming video that was. The sound of nature is just priceless. And I agree it calms my anxiety too. I hope you are keeping well dear friend.

[@gclif9898]

Heart goes out to you mate. Dogs are our soul mates. Always take mine out with me. Would be lost without him.

[@kurtbaier6122]

Your companion was an important part of your passion. Good to see out and about. Loss sucks.

[@choppermike3329]

Just a perfect video in every way. I've lost two German Sheperd dogs to cancer back in the 90's. I have got such fond memories of them both. You made an excellent dedication to your best friend. Truly sorry about Elsa. Mike

[@outoftownlivin3040]

So sad, sorry Sandy. We lost our little Eddie 6 months ago. Sending love and prayers. Video is a lovely tribute.

[@magneto263]

A great memorial Sandy. Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@chunkyleejones3831]

From start to finish had a lump in my throat, first & hardest one over without her, Sandy. "Take care matey🙏

[@stevegee7593]

A pleasant gentle video. You know as I know your dog will always be with you. For those that not know you well be walking along a path you walked together and you will see your dog, you stroke another dog and your dog will be there. Stay safe, keep well.

[@WiltshireMan]

Thanks Steve

[@RetroRatz]

Didn't need to talk. Lovely vlog, and captured lovely. Was nice to share this with you, thanks for taking us along 😀

[@WiltshireMan]

Your welcome:)

[@stevetaylor8446]

The peace and quiet, the sound of the rain on the shelter, the wind in the branches and the sound of those birds singing is really grounding buddy. The skies have been pretty awesome lately haven't they. Great video mate

[@highplainsdrifter5367]

Elsa was one of a kind and she is still with you bud. Lovely calming video. Stay safe

[@martystacey4429]

Awww Sandy ... Ive just rewatched this (24th oct '23) and can relate to Elsa being your camp dog,.... My wee 11 year old Jack Russell has cancer and he's my pal... KTF🙏

[@WiltshireMan]

Hi Marty, Little Elsa was a great camping companion and when she died aged 14 and a half it really cut me to the quick, but the weight of this loss is opposite and proportionate to the amount of love she gave through all those years. She was with me for all of her life and some of mine and I guess it'll be the same for you when the time comes. Sadly it will and we have to accept that. I wish they had longer lives. I was 4 months without a dog and the house felt empty until we got Carmen the Spanish rescue dog. She was shy and very nervous and it took a further 4 months for her to settle in but now we have an inseparable bond as I do with the other dog also a Spanish rescue called Zeta. Not sure on their past history as they came to us fully grown aged around 2, Carmen is nervous around strangers but becoming very assertive at home (A good guard dog) Zeta has never become fully house trained, I can take her for a long walk of an hour or two and she is highly likely to use the conservatory as a toilet on our return! We love them both very much despite their funny ways :) It's true what they say about time being a great healer! Sandy

[@martystacey4429]

@@WiltshireManYour two dogs are beauties pal🖤🖤 Thanks for the kind words and I hope you heal quickly 👌

[@campfire52]

I just returned from a camping trip in the mountains myself and I definitely appreciate coming back to a wonderful video such as this is. Elsa was a very special friend and you honored her friendship, companionship, and loyalty with this little tribute to that wonderful creature. We will all miss her. Another great video my friend and I certainly hope that you were able to enjoy yourself even though you had a heavy heart. Thanks for sharing it with us and I will see you on the next one.

[@TheMendipman]

Too many words would have been superfluous Sandy. Elsa never said very much either, but your faithful little friend was always there and you knew what she was thinking.

[@WiltshireMan]

Yes Noel I knew exactly what she was thinking.............FOOD:) Most of the time

[@bambinoblue8121]

Sorry for your loss, An amazing vid, you certainly captured the tranquility of the countryside and the music added to that peacefulness. A perfect tribute to Elsa.

[@adriancaldwell]

Nice one Sandy, I've a good feeling Elsa was there with you

[@hikingwithrosy]

Beautiful Sandy. I think someone would have to have a heart of stone not to get the feeling here, but you had a good night out in nature. Her soul was there with you, I’m sure. Thanks for sharing with us mate. ATB, Mark 👍

[@nrgcarrington]

I did fall asleep but that may have been the whisky 😀 watched it all again to catch up. Loved the cloud sequence. Great video!

[@arcticwolfoutdooradventure5426]

Great video Sandy .. nothing worse than missing your best camping friend

[@simonhorn1745]

Wonderfully done! The storm clouds gather was a particular favourite, all the best Sandy

Thanks Sandy for the beautiful video. We can all escape to the country through you. Danny 👍 ( jacklore screensaver)

[@ECWoodlandCrafts]

A beautiful tribute and a fitting way to remember your companion.

[@jeannies7476]

Very soothing video; glad you camped somewhere you and Elsa had been before. She was there to watch over you.

[@fordism.01]

Excellent video. Beautiful camp. Nothing beats a night in the woods to clear your thoughts . Must of been hard not having Elsa with you on your camp out.. I'm sure she was with you in spirit.

[@susanlambert8164]

So calming thanks Sandy. Beautiful.

[@beachamgroup2482]

Very moving, Elsa would have been with you in spirit. Stay safe Sandy. Simon

Thank you for taking us along. I wish you made more knives in stainless steel. I have knives in 4116 rust on me on the Appalachian Trail.

[@stuartw312000]

Great video Sandy. It was good to see you back out camping and enjoying the sounds of summer. Miss seeing Elsa with you but I know she will be there in spirit.

Hi Sandy, what a great place to camp. Plenty of wood for the Firebox and a spring nearby. Must have been emotional without Elsa, it's nice to reflect on life now and then. Thanks for another great video hope you managed to stay dry and comfortable. What a good idea your seat base is. Stay safe H.
