Journey On El Camino Del Diablo: The High Tanks Video 5

[@MichaelDelaware]

When I grew up in AZ, we used to get instructions from snake handlers when we were in Boy Scouts. They said one of the most common places for people to get bit by a rattle snake was the face, because they climb up onto them while rock climbing. Be careful out there brother Chigg.

[@littleSallyJo]

This was a fabulous adventure! I am FEELING the desert vibe that I enjoyed as a youngster, many many years ago! Thanks so much!

[@oldshep2695]

Whoever keeps putting a thumbs down for chigg , he does loads of old history for the up coming children, he loves what he does and so do we..dont down grade him like that..Please.

[@Janettemay64]

Haters and Trolls they are everywhere, from Australia I love Chigger's channel, his sense of excitement and being a true story teller, from his channel and others I think I know more American history than a lot of Americans, Watch some of the dedicated Mudlarks hunting artefacts in the tide lines of the Thames and the canals for a dose of English history . They all have a huge amount of history to impart. at my age these channels keep my brain alive.

[@KeylargoVideo]

You are an excellent narrator. Very engaging the way you talk to us as if we were there with you. Felt like I was there. I also like how you do your homework on whatever you are doing. I feel like I am watching a documentary. Thank you for adding such excellent content for us to watch. Hope you will continue to include us on your adventures for many years to come!

[@mrbungle1990]

Chigg, would have been a great opportunity to do a little magnet fishing in the tanks. Who knows what could be in the deeper, darker ones. Maybe some old pistols. Who knows. Love the vids, keep em coming.

[@Bruceg1950]

Thanks, I’ve lived in Arizona for 30 years and never knew about that road and am now too old to make the trip. Thanks again for taking us along.

[@MrAussiedarren]

What an awsome series to watch. Very entertaining, full of very interesting history and the usual Chiggman presentation. Thanks Chigger

[@larryolson8619]

Me and my 10-year-old grandson love your videos. It is made us closer together. Thanks from Lone Oak Texas

[@chriscampbell1376]

Some of your best videos. Keep it up and thanks for making them.

[@debbier6750]

AquaChigger A.K.A. Amphibious Detectorist. ..He's one Bad Ombre. .... He doesn't Have to hold his breath....cause he's not Huuuman........ Love ya Beau you are the greatest!!!

[@ke4uyp]

Deb R That's hilarious you're one funny girl.

[@robpryzdial2761]

Had the urge to get up and get a glass of water when you were talking about dehydration! Thanks Chigg

[@micahlamilton5442]

Very informative and exciting. Between vertigo and a fear of rattlers, you had my nerves on edge. A great ride!!!!

[@sherrizahand]

So excited to see that Video 5 was ready. I don't even know how to express the feelings of how amazing that journey was. At times my eyes were bugging out of my head and I'd forget to breathe. What an adventure only I'd go on with you.

[@jeanetteswalberg6166]

This was an excellent video! You have a real talent for bringing history to life.

[@susansmith6680]

You are an amazing story teller. Your visuals as you tell the story... Outstanding!

[@Natasha___.]

I'd pay to see a weekly show where chigg does these trips from the perspective of people in history, exactly like this video. Absolutely amazing, loved every minute of it!

[@claytonsmith1063]

What a neat trick to get honey! I will likely never do that. It's still just so cool! I loved going over the great rock formations like you are doing. It's been many years since I've adventured in the desert. We used to really pack heavy with frozen two litre bottles of water... maybe you could consider doing this as well. when they're empty, smash them flat, screw the cap on again, and they pack out easily. You can blow them back up and refill them again too (a few times before the plastic cracks). Great video Chigg, I love those rocks!

[@christinesaint9414]

Thank you so much for sharing your amazing adventures with us and your knowledge. I do believe there must be a bit of mountain goat in you somewhere, my heart was in my mouth most of the time on that climb. 🤗🤗

[@johnlawrence9957]

Learned when I was a kid about water sources. If they have plants and bugs and slimy stuff the water is safe to drink (you may get giardia or something though). If the water is devoid of life, you'll be poisoned and die!!!!! That brown tank looked bad! The green ones okay! Great video! I enjoyed it immensily!!! Thanks!

[@mojavewanderer7719]

Great video and series, I love your desert trip videos. I have wanted to go to the tinajas altas since I was a kid reading about them in Louis L’Amour westerns.

[@newmexicojoe5443]

The area here is just as rugged, but a bit greener. I've spent the last 20 years exploring the rough. It can be hard to show that restraint, and maintain safety, when there is so much to see, but it's still a necessity for certain. So, absolutely, stay safe. ANYTHING can happen out there at any time. Never take the landscape for granted. Step on rocks, and not over them. Rattlesnakes could be laying in a crack on the other side. Thanks for taking us through there!

[@Hmille10]

This series was so awesome and fascinating! Thanks for filming your journey and all the information as well Beau!

[@briangiovanni4427]

hello chigger. I been watching your show for years now you are always fun to watch. like your gold adventures in Alaska. And the cute girl with the purple hair. oolala.

[@davidjeffrey8204]

Lots of black sands in that cave too. GOLD!!

[@leannkennedy6568]

The history lesson was facinating as you walked the landscape.

[@bearfoot100]

The cactus you talked about, is know by many names, but Jumping Cactus (Cylindropuntia bigelovii) is the most common name. The spines are highly barbed and if you get stuck by them, they stick in your skin. Moisture in the skin, makes the spines swell and locks them in even tighter. It's very painful. Ask me how I know. It has very fragile stem sections. A section can break off and hitch-hikes a painful ride, with its victim. Were ever it drops off, it will send roots down and grow. Very common along trails and roads, because animals, inadvertently spread them. The flower is bright yellow to gold color. Thanks for the fun video! Wish I was there.

[@wrnchhead76]

Great video Beau thank you for taking us along. And being safe.

[@Uniquelyyours1]

Always a great adventure with you, Beau. Stay safe.

[@kayakkid7]

That one made me nervous!!!! Glad you listened to your "threshold"! Very cool to see as I've lived in a temperate rainforest my whole life!

[@danmartin5504]

Thanks Chigg. I've been subbed for many years, but haven't sent you a message in many years. Your channel has really taken off! Good for you!

[@candysantillo3325]

You’ll never know how much good it did my heart to hear you reason it out not to continue on.....and then he spots a cave.........😂💞

[@kim11757]

Enjoyed it very much. I thought a couple of those rocks looked like they had carvings. Interesting

[@HowlingSaguaro97]

Hey! Just saw where you were in this video, southern Arizona, south of Tucson! My grandpa and I go out and explore the desert and go to the Reservation near there all the time. It really is beautiful country!

[@Brenda-qm4sy]

Excellent video as always. Thx we sure appreciate everything you do to bring us these awesome videos.

[@rebelsuiter9306]

Excellent videos. Desert adventures are awesome 😀👍

[@davidjeffrey8204]

Very nice videos, I couldn't wait for the next one. Thanks for Sharing the history on El Camino del Deoblo. 😁

[@karenkozak2068]

Another great series about the Southwest. Thanks for taking us along. I always learn a lot from your vids.

[@bentleejbf3440]

Chiganometry once again at it's best.....

[@Lee-qp6gf]

Thanks for sharing this series I really enjoyed seeing everything that I didn't even know existed.

[@donbates9610]

Awesome video chig!! I love learning about the past. Im 37 and i swear youve taught me more about American history then i learned back in high school. To be honest high school was a lil blur lol. Once again thanks for taking us along

[@Kris_at_WhiteOaksFarm]

Oh, this takes me back. I did a Tinaja quest for both Tule and the High Tanks maybe thirty years ago. Found them and survived to tell the tale. I'd love to go and quest for some of the other desert tanks that were so precious to the early travelers.

[@nadinechandler8898]

Awesome adventure Beau thanks !

[@ssmak4758]

I love your tours of Arizona. Thanks!

[@DirtDigglerDetecting]

Love your videos. Thank you. Dad always said " Don't go down anything you don't think you can get back up" :) GL&HH James

[@ronaldnickell6110]

What I don't understand , is with all of the seguro cactus around why didn't they cut into them and chew the pulp. There is water in the pulp. Not a lot, but enough to survive on. That is how the indians used to survive in the desert without water. You can squeese the pulp and get water. Not a lot but enough to survive. I grew up on the plains/desert of New Mexico. Unfortunately there are not a lot of seguaro, just a hell of a lot of mesquite bushes, sand, and rattle snakes, and lots of sun. In the spring there is also a lot of sand storms, which are not as bad as when I was a kid. I'm 76. As a small boy, I can remember going to bed after shaking the dust of the bed, with the wind howling, and getting up in the morning with the wind howling. Then after it blowing until bed time doing it all over again. This would go on for several days. I hate sand storms. That is why I live in Houston. It actually rains here. Some times we get as much rain in one go as N.M. gets annually. I love it.

[@melissariley9327]

I love all the stories that you tell on your Journeys

[@dawncarpenter5619]

Nicely done! Such history. What a lesson about true struggle, and a slow horrible death. So many lives. Sad how history is not all being told. I enjoy the old West. Thank you so much! 🌹

[@tillmansomethinrother296]

Thanks for the deadly history lesson. Great fun

[@tom7o18]

My friend Gene taught me that trick only you carried a little match box with flour in it catch a bee in the garden put it in the box shake it up open it be takes off always directly for the hive. Walk a straight line till you find it. That's where the term Bee Line came from . Your the only other person I've heard that knew that. When you started talking I thought is he going to tell about the Bee Line great job. Unexpected pleasure.

[@normawinton6832]

Nice adventure chig, thanks for taking us along!

[@joshseward7445]

Really enjoyed this series of adventure videos Beau. Imagine if you were allowed to detect out there what you would find!

[@dryheat85255]

Chig, next time you visit the desert you might consider a hat with a wide brim and a bandana to keep the sun off your head/neck. Too much sun on your head can be a serious problem.

[@oliviarowe6892]

Hi! I've enjoyed this series of videos! I love all your stuff because I love history!

[@Wvnursey]

What a great adventure! Thanks so much!

[@jasonmeaty8036]

[@williamambrose3947]

really enjoyed these videos drunk 5ltrs of water just watching you climbing them rocks lol thanks for letting me come along bill from Dagenham Essex UK

[@blackdog.6398]

Thank you guys ,

[@lesahanners5057]

This was a nail biter for sure. Glad you made it out safe. I wished when you went into that cave that there had been a wonderful Native American pictograph on the wall. Still, it was really fantastic seeing the wells and just how difficult they were to get to. No wonder so many folks died trying to reach them. Truly amazing country out there. Thanks so much for your efforts and for sharing this adventure with us.

[@johnjenkins6547]

Thanks Chigg! Great video.

[@brucedyer646]

Another very informative video. Thank you!

[@mgfarmer1]

Thank you Chigg. Amazing.

[@pedrovision6987]

[@yomangull2538]

Great series. Enjoyed every minute.

[@RustyNailsadventures]

Thanks for sharing some great stories!

[@gregwright392]

Holy crap Chigg! I'd of never crawled into that cave!

[@donnabroussard4548]

Another good one! Thanks !

[@BigfootDigger]

Enjoyed the journey well done on getting back safe,great stories and the little cave was cool in more than one way.there was an old tin can in the corner at 17:24 but I guess there was may well have been a scorpion living in there.. glad to see your back safe ...BigfootDigger

[@hardyakka6200]

Do it again that was good. I like crawling over rocks and things.

[@gregoryblackwell6360]

Love your videos chig! And can't wait to get my t-shirt. I'll be wearing it out and about detecting here in Michigan!

[@denniswhittaker2434]

Just finished all five video again it was like a wild West movie hope you do some more in the future sometime 👍👍👍

[@jamesnauert7844]

And people complain about the drive through being closed. This has been extremely interesting.

[@gameoverlord8012]

thanks chigg. You such a great person!

[@tinovanderzwanphonocave544]

at the edge of a rock outcrop, you will usually find bushes or grass that's where the water is, so dig, dig, dig!

[@tinovanderzwanphonocave544]

to make it easier if you find a grown over part of a rock outcrop dig a bit at the foot of it place a thin plastic sheet/bag over it with a cup underneath put a rock (small) on the plastic so it will make an inverted cone facing the cup and,... nature will do the rest slowly filling the cup with precious water with evaporation and condensation so if you go into these dry environments never forget to take some (clear or not) plastic bags with you it does not take much room and it can save your life!!

[@james1795]

Better yet, just pop open a Perrier.

[@tinovanderzwanphonocave544]

hmm alone lost in the desert me and a bottle of Perrier,... I drink it empty in the scolding heat and,.. pass out and die! eh, no not a good idea!!

[@james1795]

hmm lost? Ha! You maybe. I don't get lost.

[@americanaxetoolco2076]

LOL I love the dramatization you’re awesome! That’s a dangerous area there! Those are Africanized bees! You’re okay as long as you don’t mess with their hive! Desert is full of em

[@watermain48]

Awesome, thanks.

[@vinylvishrecords]

[@joemostaccioli243]

At cut 17:26, there seemed to be a rusted can just left of your spot light. I guess maybe you'll have to go back and check it out for solder...lol. Lessons learned on this trip, thanks.

[@350anthony]

One of the best episodes yet ☠️

[@shirleybrown8495]
