14 Days Truck Camping in the Utah Desert (in winter)

[@kth124]

I think it would be so cool if you put a mini GoPro on Kyra for one of these adventures to see what he finds when he goes exploring! Love these videos, really inspiring :)

[@BentbrooksRambles]

At a certain age, with a certain amount of freedom, and a certain amount of adventurous spirit--all of which you possess--such an experience opens one's eyes to the unimagined wonders of the world beyond one's realm of experience. It is intoxicating, transformational, addicting, overwhelming, inexpressible. Thank you for bringing us along on your journey of wonder.

[@Julie-l7r]

Very well put 👏 👌 👍

[@TruckHouseLife]

Such a great comment, thank you:) and so true

[@prospector14]

Fellow Canadian (Ont.) here. Just came across your channel. I’m retired so I can go backcountry canoeing when I want but you and my daughter are kindred spirits. She keeps her camping gear in her vehicle so she can go camping at will with her dog. She also joins me on my canoe trips when her work allows. So great to see an articulate young lady producing these videos, living the dream and being a role model for others. Keep it up. 👍

[@ofthenearfuture]

Can't lie, I've cried at a few desert and canyon sunsets, there is just something so incredible about those landscapes and places.

[@PyrateRumRunner]

Loving the sheer joy of seeing someone gazing on those views for the first time.

[@mistersir3185]

just love how simple, original and so wholly peaceful your videos are

[@mistersir3185]

Oh lord! I can't believe you replied lol! Holy shit! Thank you! 🥹@@MadisonClysdalee

[@Gabsolutelygab]

I’m watching this on my TV, and my dog is absolutely engaged. I think she’s your new #1 fan.

[@174jas4]

I love your adventurous spirit Madison. It's contagious!

[@barythompson4781]

Thanks! You’re videos are so real and down to earth.

[@MadisonClysdalee]

Thank you so much. Means a lot!

[@Ziip47]

I literally did the same thing. I drove from Oregon. I have been exploring southern Utah and the four corners area for over a month now. Such an amazing and beautiful place. Arches, Canyonlands, La Sal mountains, Valley of the gods, Monument valley the list goes on and on. Mind blowing beauty.

[@fauge7]

Make sure to stop by the North rim of the Grand canyon. It's by far the best part of the whole park. Unvisited and beautiful

[@Cooldaddio2]

Agreed. I love the north rim, much better than the tourista south rim.

[@SalvagetoScenic]

Really told that boulder in the rock garden who’s boss. Thank you for showing me so many beautiful places! Such a fun trip.

[@Step-n-Wolf]

Your enthusiasm is awesome. Glad you are enjoying our Southwest.

[@leadersleverage]

You are a beautiful person who appreciates God's Beautiful creations. Your love for the mountains and outdoors and your smile are enlightening. Keep living and being you

[@Sparker408]

That sunrise ☀️ was nothing short of majestic. The way the rivers ran between the canyons with the sun peaking over the vally.....I mean WOW 👌 nicely done Madison

[@Wilderness-Will]

Southern Utah is one of the only places on Earth that can rival Arizona in terms of desert beauty. Those slot canyons you ventured through look fantastic!

[@Toe_timeTIM]

Big chungus

[@sebastian3004]

LOL Utah is better than Arizona

[@FabianPatscheider-zu7iq]

❤❤

[@Ziip47]

As beautiful as Sedona is it has become very crowded.

[@Blue_Marble4.54B]

I love the west. Being from the east side of the states I don't get to see it that much, but really want to get back out there. For camping I've started sleeping in the bed of my Tacoma. I bought a cap and use a light weight tarp to keep rain water out, and use a mosquito net to keep the bugs out. I love your sense of adventure, and your confidence to go out and do these things on your own. Good for you!!

[@devildog7602]

I love your infectious smile. Tres' Bien. Stay safe.

[@stephenchild2310]

Thank you for such a well presented video of your adventure. You’ve shown us how amazing that landscape is and your enthusiasm is infectious!

[@isabellagodde4935]

Came across your channel for the first time today, and instantly subscribed! I love your content so much.

[@gaberella218]

Yay, you’re back! I really appreciate your videos. I’m also a mostly solo female hiker and I get a lot of flack for that. Your videos have inspired me to keep pushing myself into harder and harder things and to really utilize the weekends away from my 9-5 job exploring Colorado. Thanks for what you do!

[@MadisonClysdalee]

This means so much to me, thank you. Keep on exploring!! 🥰

[@lisabartkowski2859]

I’m a girl watching your adventures from Germany. Girl, you are SO brave! I have a tattoo that says “luck will help the brave” and it’s so true. You’re so inspiring, and your dog is so cute (I’m usually not a dog person) but omg, I just love following what you do. I’ll check out your patreon! Always stay safe ❤ much love from Europe x

[@denburton]

I found your channel from watching Salvage to Scenic and it’s cool to see your perspective of the scenery and Jake’s perspective. Looked like a lot of fun!

[@shanemilehi]

Awesome to see people reacting to Utah and the dessert for the first time. It’s amazing. Love seeing how stoked you are about nature.

[@Carljouannet]

Excellent job on this video, you did a great job capturing the beauty of that area! Of course as you said, cameras don't ever do it justice, it's a must see in person kinda thing.

[@pme166]

You remind me of the fun my wife and I had in Utah as college students. We would go camping almost every weekend just to see the state. Very enjoyable and so quiet at times.

[@mjmcinnespoems]

We really enjoyed your company on this epic journey you’ve shared with us. Blessings everyone 🌱

[@jiin4]

Been watching Jake’s channel for a couple of weeks, so was just introduced to your videos today. Cool to see the trip from two perspectives.

[@sienashepard9695]

I just found this channel, I did similar trip this January, you have inspired me to get back down there again, it's just so beautiful. You're amazing BTW, I am an instant fan

[@turkey4957]

Wow January is a cold unpleasant month in southern Utah! If you liked it then you’d really like it in March or April or October/November

[@betheackers]

I was so excited when I saw Salvage to Scenic's truck! I've been following him for a few weeks now and I was like, "I know that truck!!" Made me realise I had missed his video when he talks about this trip with you. Love watching your videos.

[@davewestner]

I can understand your excitement with those places in UT. I had the exact same feelings at many of those same places. The most incredible looking places I've ever been. Appreciate the walk down memory lane. And yeah, the lack of people out there is fantastic.

[@EdwardWest-j8g]

thank you for all u do,so your enjoyimg the greatest outdoors GOD CREATIONS my the roads be open and safe, for your family.

[@ArashAbravesh]

I love how you explain things - you've got so much enthusiasm! Plus, your clips are fantastic - they're informative and totally brighten my day. Thank you so much!"

[@thewatersofdream]

Epic, I did a cross country road trip this past July and it fed my soul. I spent the night out on the salt flats there and the sunrise was so amazing. It was summer so it was very pleasant to walk in the night air under the moonlight. The salt was glowing. Your videos get me excited to go on more adventures

[@barythompson4781]

The smile on your face the entire time, priceless. Some of those areas are on my bucket list and that sunrise was one of the most amazing I’ve seen!

[@ir8maverickmichaeljavillon306]

Utah does change you, when I explored Utah, i work myself from Zion to Moab. It does changed the way i look in life.

[@markpetersen6931]

Thanks for taking me along. Great video. Yes Utah is a beautiful place to do what you do. We all thank the Lord for living in such a great place. Good luck on your next adventure! can't wait to see it.

[@tturner7786]

Utah has shocking beauty as you found out. First time i went to moab and bryce and zion i couldn't believe no on told me to go there sooner. Its mind melting. That sunrise you caught was epic. Glad you escaped the cold nasty winter into the warmer desert. Thanks for sharing your trip!

[@F1fan007]

Wow, that was cool! I’ve never been interested in Utah until seeing your video. Your joy and enthusiasm are so refreshing and contagious!

[@j946atFIVEFOUR88AA]

Southern Utah is full of so many amazing places. I did a 3 day backpacking trip down Buckskin Gulch this past November and it was absolutely stunning. I'd say it's even better than doing The Subway (Top Down) at Zion.

[@cq7415]

Madison…..so wonderful to see you smiling and enjoying yourself. Southern Utah has so many great places to explore in the redrock country. I’m sure you will be back. Nice place to winter. Nice to see you got a truck and out of that Subaru. Wish I could travel with you, you are so sweet. Keep safe. Thanks for sharing.

[@Lowik98]

Thanks for sharing your awesome adventures Madison! We don't get to experience nature like that in the Netherlands haha. Will be traveling to BC for the first time this summer to roadtrip from Vancouver to Banff & back. Could not be more excited! Can't bring my dog though sadly... Kyro seems like the best boy.

[@mikep4811]

Thanks!

[@MadisonClysdalee]

Thank you, that's so kind of you 🤗

[@bf2142rock]

Glad to see a woman take her safety seriously. Don’t ever lose that intuition. God bless and safe travels!

[@Julie-l7r]

That sunrire at (19:15) is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen!!! 😍 you are so lucky to have seen it in person, thx for sharing 😊❤

[@joshuaramos8685]

Literally just found your channel a few days ago and now going on this same trip next week with my dog

[@BStace]

Your dog really loves you. He's such a handsome young man.

[@fynnjackson2298]

Thanks for the good vibes, smiles and beautiful scenary, Utah looks like its straight out of the moveis.

[@bargalshmal]

The USA is wonderful country. It has so many different natural landscapes .

[@TruckHouseLife]

Love Moab, can't wait to get down there again from Alaska this fall, maybe cya on the road sometime!🔥

[@turkey4957]

Epic, this comment was lost in the weeds but I like both of your channels so this is cool to see other creators watch the same vids we as viewers do

[@20yearsagotoday1]

Wow wow wow. You’re one lucky girl. Bucket list stuff right there.

[@soumyaranjandeo1802]

great spirit maddy. Don’t be upset. it’s a loving name for a sweet and brave girl like you.

[@lenbeaudry]

Such a great adventure. I personally keep my dog on a long leash 20ft. She can roam at will and I don't have to get terrified when I can't find her. Just love your commentary thanks for sharing this and all your thoughts 🥰

[@bikingal4283]

one of my fave YT'ers almost got pulled over the edge with her dog on leash... scared the crap out of her.. now her dog goes off leash... I'm sure you are careful... scary thought though

[@itszaque]

Glad you enjoyed the trip! As a Utah local I think we're extremely lucky to have world class mountains and one of a kind red rock within 5 hours of each other.

[@kirkjohnson4644]

Wow! What an awesome adventure you are on. Thanks for sharing. Be safe and have fun!

[@sonofagun9856]

thanks for taking us on your adventure, you looked and sounded like you really enjoyed it 🥰🥰🥰

[@orrinbelcher6593]

So beautiful, love seeing Kyro, cute little rascal, nice Ram truck, coffee is a natural with the beautiful outdoors, superbly fun and nicely done.

[@johncreech2160]

I grew up in the Lake Powell. Beautiful place. Glad you like it there.

[@michaelcampbell7377]

It's so great seeing the "wow" on people's faces when they experience America's treasures for the first time. Thanks for sharing your experience with us! Kyro's reaction to the bumpy road *not amused* haha.

[@bobde4705]

Utah is something else. Hard to describe how different it is. Glad you had some company on your journey. It’s know place to have truck problems on those trails alone. Take care.

[@georgehouse4747]

Madison Definitely makes the Beauty of Nature look even Better 😊

[@genegoycochea4846]

There are so many beautiful places in Utah including five national parks when you include one in Colorado that is a couple miles from Utah, I hope you got the opportunity to visit Mesa Verde and Arches national Park, two of my favorites

[@brighteyedbirding]

Welcome to Utah! Cool to see your reactions to seeing Utah's coolest sights for the first time! I think some of us who live here forget how lucky we are haha. Myself included! Great video!

[@LuvBluSkyz]

Really nice video! Beautiful wilderness and sunrises. Thanks for sharing. 😊

[@123bhar]

I had a trip to Utah that changed me too. Glad you got to experience.

[@swaggery]

Thanks for spending the $1000+ and bringing us along. It was a very cool video.

[@timkern177]

Welcome to Utah! I have lived here most of my life and take advantage of the outdoor diversity that we have. You only touched the surface of what Utah has to offer. On a side note, I took my 1st trip to BC last summer and I plan to go back this summer again.

[@norahc.]

Glad to see you enjoying your truck. Many adventures await you and Kyro in it. Stay safe and enjoy.

[@kaayceeb]

Amazing video! Thank you for sharing your hiking/exploring adventures with Kyro. I’m currently working on training with my baby (dog) to be able to take him on adventures like these.

[@slib5656]

I absolutely love your videos! I used to keep all my camping gear in my car and go out whenever I could. I moved to Colorado recently and hope to get out more again like I used to. Your videos are informative and fun to watch! I caught a tummy bug/sickness from my niece and nephew today and have been stuck in bed... I had been having a hard time finding things to watch since I feel so sick... but then I found your videos, which are so beautiful, honest, peaceful, comforting, and calming! Thank you so much for taking the time to create this lovely content to share with all of us. Here's to safe and happy travels for you guys!

[@daryltom3183]

Thanks for checking out our backyard, hope you enjoyed it. Durango Colorado & New Mexico have some nice views & hikes as well. Anazazi ruins, fishing, camping.

[@theviron6]

Madison, I am hooked on your videos. I have always loved primitive camping but work has always limited my time in the woods. I am now retired, your videos have inspired me to get back out there. I think my dog and I will set our sites on the North West and see BC.

[@jimi3314]

Driving at night and waking up to amazing scenery is always the move. Epic looking roadtrip. Glad you got to see the southwest.

[@emilyjade7708]

I love Kyro so much because he looks so much like my dog Harley 🥹🥰 so cool to see you guys having adventures together

[@avancons1]

Your energy is just so vibrant and infectious that I wanna start hiking and travelling

[@GDuncan8002]

9:56 I had exactly the same reaction. Utah was my 47th state. I can't believe I didn't discover it sooner. It's magical.

[@yunglivid]

Love how I just felt your smile thru the screen♥️

[@bravo2_0]

That landscape in Utah is breathtaking.

[@MongoBongo271]

spent three years of my life living in southern Utah outside of capitol reef, most beautiful place in the world. one day ill move back and retire there. also if you continue down the factory butte road to the muddy creek and hike up a couple of miles you'll find the most beautiful hidden red rock canyon and you'll have it all to your self!

[@k7l3rworkman97]

This gal is incredible. What an adventure, I bet the doggo had tons of fun 🥰 I know I would ❤

[@wishihadahailee]

Hi Madison, just found your channel as have been following Jake. Love the way you articulate your journey. So now going to binge watch all your videos then wait patiently for the next one. Happy travels ❤

[@patprop74]

As beautiful as most of Canada is, there are parts of the USA that are simply out of this world amazing.

[@elizabethshwe1003]

I just found you channel and have been binge watching all youre videos! Keep up the good work!

[@Pablo-sr5bx]

Awesome adventure and great scenery! Glad that Kiro and you got down that ladder safely. If you don't already have one, I would strongly recommend getting a high quality harness (with a handle) for Kiro. It makes all the difference for hikes with technical stuff. It makes it safer and easier to maneuver for both you and the dog. I have the Ruffwear webmaster, but Ruffwear has a few more options now. 👍

[@benjaminpease3830]

Love your composure at 19:27 ~ no "Fs" given & you refleixively chuckled in spite of knuckle hairs singed, lol.

[@kennethcapen3184]

I went to Lake Powell with my bass boat for the first time during the pandemic. Spent 2 weeks there, then went back 2 more times and spent 2 weeks each time. Lake Powell is unbelievably beautiful. No place like it on earth can compare , ❤ yor video keep up the fun.

[@toddstevenson8566]

Absolutely incredible stunning landscapes

[@davespoemsandsongs9497]

Madison really, like how you do your camping the places that you go are awesome and beautiful

[@bobbyjonas2332]

Your doggie is so precious 🥰

[@MadisonClysdalee]

I think so too :)

[@bellyhungry]

Hi from Toronto, Canada. Happy new year. Thanks for sharing your trip. I appreciate your authenticity and sharing your vulnerability (even though you are tough as nail.) I am especially impressed by your positivity and overall vibe. Look forward to your future adventure. Keep 👣

[@charleshagman5025]

Glad you got some sunshine and beautiful landscapes

[@sergehorion7155]

On a pick up such as yours, rear leaf springs are more comfortable with a heavy load. Without it, on bumpy track roads, you could deflate a little bit your tires to avoid being so much shaken (and breaking the tonneau cover). Traction would be improved too. Having a car portable compressor pump with you would be handy in this situation.

[@chillislives]

The Dodge has coil springs. Airing down is off-road 101. Having a compressor and tire plugs is also in the 101 course.

[@janakotrcova2790]

Madison,you are wonderful.You are fulfilling your dreams perfectly,the dog is a grateful companion and trips to the silence of rocks and picturesque nature are medicine for the soul.I am excited about this approach to life and I am a big fun of you.👍

[@SugarMapleForge]

A really cool place to check out in the summer is Stanley Idaho at the base of the sawtooth mountains. I used to live in Idaho. It's an amazing state no matter where you go. Love the videos! Keep up the awesome work and enjoying life!

[@Halfnote2]

HOLY Merciful Minerva!!! That was awesome!! I've been Jeep camping for over 20 years now but have never been in Utah!!! That is awesome!! I may have to make that trip summer of 24! Could you list the basic areas you went to??? I can't imagine you being an introvert! I love your vids and you do such a great job and go to the greatest places! I love Kyro what an awesome companion! I just discovered you like 4-5 months ago. Thanks for posting!

[@vicsar]

1:32 That right there is key. Smart girl. Never leave without telling others where you are. Tell 2 people at least, you... never know, one of them might become "unalive". Anyway... A real life or death decision. I am glad Madison shared that, even if it was only for a few seconds.

[@bradleyhermes304]

That looked like an incredible trip. I never considered going to Moab except for the off-roading and mountain biking. Now I want to go there just to camp and hike and see the landscape. Great video!

[@chrisgreto]

I love that area of the US! Spent lots of time in all that red rock in and around Moab. Your level of excitement is so much fun to see! Im stoked you had a great experience. I missed seeing the adventurers of young Kyro as well! Hes really great! Glad youre back!

[@guillaumetremblayski]

Merci de nous emmener avec toi dans tes aventures, ça donne le goût!

[@rorynesta7766]

never seen you so excited but omg thanks for taking us on your amazing journey!I have never seen any of those sites you went to online like ever!But poor kyro,that lil boy must have needed lotsa cuddles after all that offroading.

[@gahbij1401]

Always cool to see people experience my home state. I often feel bored of the scenery because I grew up in southern utah for my whole life. Always nice to see it from someone else's point of view. I hope the people from Nevada don't get mad at how you pronounced it though lol.
