Amazing meal Wade! Love that camp spot, next to the water…. Very peaceful. Thanks for posting this one. Hope River heals quickly.

Take care buddy, thank you👊

[@ecttreker9816]

Such a good dog River is. Amazing how mild she remained even in the moment of being cut and bleeding. Hope she heals up fast..👍👍 I hope karma catches up to the person who thought is was ok to leave behind their mess of busted glass.

[@Woodswalker1965]

Thanks very much for the kind words, she is a good girl!!

[@Woodswalker1965]

Welcome and thanks for stopping by my friend!

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Hey Wade. Hope River is back on the trail soon

[@Woodswalker1965]

Thanks so much Mark!

[@jasonaffeldt7838]

Nice camp with excellent food👍. Too bad about the sad ending with River. Hope she is doing well at home. Always good to see you Wade. Hope to see you again soon my friend. 🇺🇲🔪🔥🌲

[@Woodswalker1965]

Thanks buddy, it was a good time up until River got hurt. She is doing well getting extra treats and belly rubs!👍

[@randy-9842]

Thanks for uploading this one, Wade. I hope River's recovery is swift, thorough and worry free. Since your last two videos, I've been curious about the trip when this happened. Broken glass is a ubiquitous bane for campers and hikers (and the critters whether domestic or wild!). The look on her face at the beginning of the video is priceless. Some folks think that dogs don't "smile" - River smiles with her entire face: her eyes, corners of her mouth, cheeks and ears all perk up with obvious eagerness! Beautiful dog! Side note: magnificent campsite, gear ... _and that meal_ ... oh wow!

[@Woodswalker1965]

You’re right Randy, dogs do smile, I’m sure of it! Thanks for all your support my friend and River is doing well! 👍😁☕️

[@cliffordwright342]

[@Woodswalker1965]

[@herbsmith6871]

[@Woodswalker1965]

Thanks for watching my friend!👍

[@ChrisWilliam08]

Any follow up on the poor girl? Any stitches, maybe 1 or 2 stitches

[@Woodswalker1965]

This Turned Out To Be Bad. Worse Than I Thought! Vlog #2 kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIPMfJ13hNF-mLs Thanks so much for asking. Yes she got a pawful of stitches, three layers of them during her surgery. I did a short vlog about it. Thanks for watching and for your kind inquiry😁👍

[@phyllismulkey3778]

poor fur baby

[@Woodswalker1965]

Thanks Phyllis!😃The good news is that she is resting comfortably and not messing with her paw. She’s such a good girl!

With all that gear and no doggo first aid kit. Just a simple one with dog safe meds and doses (aspirin, benadryl, etc.), wound wash, gauze, antiseptic spray, polysporin type gel, vet wrap and tape, and those rubber booties. There are ways to close wounds too, depending but all of the years I have been hiking with my dogs and have had similar things happen. Just watch out for the gauze getting dried onto the wounds, I use something like bactigrass or adaptic to prevent that, but lots of polysporin or microcyn can help as well.

[@Woodswalker1965]

You’re right I could have been better prepared and a lesson was learned. I did have large square bandaids the size of her paw and gauze to wrap it up with. She was at the vets within 5 hrs for her surgery. I have since bought rolls of vet wrap (waterproof and breathable) to add to my kit along with Polysporin. I carry butterfly strips in my kit but they would not hold a paw pad and the bleeding stopped with pressure. Benadryl is part of my kit always. Thanks for the input.

[@andymytys]

All this and, if you hike in an area with porcupines and let your dog run off leash, a pair of needle nose pliers and researching up on how to properly remove quills in the field (don’t cut, grab at the base, pull straight out, hard!). Of course, if you can get your dog to a vet within 24 hours, it’s best to let the vet deal with the quills professionally.

[@Woodswalker1965]

I always have a Leatherman or two on me. A set of wire cutters should be carried in case of your dog getting caught in a snare as well.

[@Woodswalker1965]

I agree the kindest way to deal with more than one or two quills would be at the vets under some sedation with pain meds and antibiotics.

[@andymytys]

Do you purchase the back strap from your butcher or from a pet store?

[@Woodswalker1965]

I get the back strap from the same place I get my raw food for River. He has a variety of raw, healthy treats!
