This was very heartwarming! I love how you brother didn't sugar coat any of his answers! I presume he must have grown up completely in England cause he is SO English! Loved seeing you teach him how to make a fire. One of the most useful and satisfying things to learn.

[JenKnee]

This is sweet. Reminds me of the relationship I have with my baby brother. We did a cross country road trip together across the
US, and it’s one of my fondest memories.

[abdulqayyoum]

Evazubeck, I have watched your 4th video and would love to watch more. Whenever I start watching, I can't get tired and can't skip any second. Sometimes I got emotional too. It's hard for me to express in words how much I'm getting addicted to watch you with deep emotions. I think it would take me to the very same paths of yours.

[DorkThink]

Loved this video. The juxtaposition of you, world traveling hippie to Tom's posh London accent was so great to see! Glad you both enjoyed the trip and the time. Great memories made!❤

[PatrickThreewit]

I like this video better than any. As a 78-year old, my days of backpacking like that in Washington and Idaho, the camp sites look very similar. As a young guy age 30 to 60, I had no fear of bears. I took a handgun but really if you are sleeping in a flimsy tent, the bear could maul you before you could get a gun ready. I was just nervy in those days.

Eva, you amaze me how Tom wears shoes around the campfire and you go barefooted and how you seem to wear a sweat shirt of some kind but yet are in shorts, and I always found that nights in high country were chilly. I live in the woods but only at 2600 feet elevation, and a ways away from wild country so I enjoy walking on the forest trails I have made, but I am so grateful to you for your videos that bring back so many memories.

In my days of hiking, I didn't even have a GPS. I used wilderness modified topo maps that would disintegrate as the hikes wore on. As I got older, the ground got harder and I needed better mattresses. No tech in the 70's 80's and even 90's. Few pictures taken due to bad weather and no moving pictures taken. Keep all those videos and enjoy your experiences now, because one day, like all of us older hikers watching your videos, you will wake up one morning after a hard hike, and realize that your adventures are nearing their end. But there will be more hiker/campers out there like you who will bring back memories for you. Thank you again!

In my younger days, did a 2 week loop in the Windrivers started at Elkhart Park also near Pinedale. Made it all the way to Titcomb basin. At the lakes there the base of the tallest peak in Wyoming. It snowed in late July there, about 6 inches the beginning of our two 20ish guy trip. Lots of great fishing at Island lake near the tree line. Caried about 70 lb pack.

[veronica]

Lovely video. There is nothing greater than an outdoor adventure, Tom! Well done, you two.

[OperationalOrigin]

LOL Bear ramp. A bear would just walk right up and get that food.

[davidmedley]

Mission accomplished. Well done. You are making great family memories. Keep up the safe adventures.

[jwfinley]

Thanks for being nice to your brother. You are Perfect!! My sister knows me and would of told me NO!

[tomlloyd]

Stumbled across your vids acouple weeks ago, I have watched numerous adventure vids, they come and go. What kept me watching your vids is the relationship you have with your dog, BEAUTIFUL, as the owner of two dogs I can appreciate the bond a person can have with a 4 legged friend. P.S. You know how you tell that your dog is your best, You lock your spouse and your dog in the trunk of your car on a hot day, come back in an hour and see which one is happy to see you...

[hsherman]

Trial by fire young man!!!
Enjoy that type 2 fun and be thankful you have someone who cares enough to push your personal limits

[Helenemonblogdefille]

Thank you Eva for sharing this family moment with us, it was very fun and nice to watch !

[susansharp]

So great to see a teen enjoying and exploring new experiences especially with an awesome sister. Your brother is no doubt adapting to high altitude

[lucienhikingdroneflying]

I still remember the first hike. 4 days in the mountains of Italy. we slept in small mountain huts. it was tough, especially for the first time. I sweated profusely and was in a lot of pain. but afterwards I was in love 😍 how crazy it is to suffer. and get to places you wouldn't otherwise go. In recent weeks I have been traveling with my camper. didn't really have a destination. so just tour around. really really cool.

[brianmac]

Your brother has a very English accent (London?) but you still have the slight hint of Polish. Does he stay in the UK?
Loving the adventures! Beautiful countryside & a fantastic way to see it.❤

[silviavol]

I just wanna say that the first drone shot on 23rd minute is now my screen saver💛 absolutely beautiful video again Eva!

[rastersplatter]

Another fun video. Mistake? No way! Tom is super cool and like his interactions with you and Vilk. He surely loves that dog as much as you do. And sibling love is obvious and y'all are both lucky to have each other. Thanks for sharing.

[valerier]

I hiked in the Bridgertetons back in August 2021. Beautiful place for a multi-day hike! So glad you both got to go there!

[miget]

It was a pleasure meeting you and your brother on this hike… happy trails to both of you.
