Me, My Dog & a Campfire

This trip was a first for us — just me and Brinx, heading out on our own. No big plans, no extra gear, just campfire living and the basics: bread baking in camp, pancakes for breakfast, steak and chuck roast over the fire, and coffee in the quiet of the woods.

Along the way, Brinx experiences his first exposure to gunfire, we do a little training, and I share some honest thoughts about my past Doberman experiences. It’s simple, real camp life — the kind of trip that makes the best memories.
