Great day in the mountains. Ridin the long trails is my idea of a great time. Thanks 4 takin us along. Love those mules.

[@MTN_BUILT]

Thanks for watching! It was a fun day ☺️

[@maryanngross7225]

I really enjoy fishing as long as they are biting steadily but I LOVE fly fishing. I recommend that you try it if you have the chance. Love your videos! Absolutely beautiful little lake.Looks like a great day to me.

[@MTN_BUILT]

We definitely want to try, it would be so fun for lakes like this! I feel like they would probably bite better on a fly than a spinner.

[@MTN_BUILT]

Thanks for watching!! ☺️

[@donmahan2374]

Love watching the mules ears going down the trail. The lead mules ears work like headlamps, the following mules ears scan the flanks. Team work!

[@MTN_BUILT]

One of my favorite things in life is watching a mules ears flop down the trail haha! You are so right! ☺️

[@scottburgess696]

Cool video guys, I just returned from a 4 day pack trip into the wilderness in NE Oregon, super time, lots of biting horse flies and mosquitoes, uggg!!! Little secret about high lake fishing- Spin cast pole-clear "fly bobber" with 4-6' leader and a dry fly, preferably something like a mosquito, they are starved for food and anything on top of the water is money!! loved the dogs playing in thre water "helping" love it!! thx for sharing the day

[@MTN_BUILT]

That’s sounds like a blast! Were you in the eagle caps?? We are both originally from Oregon ☺️ That sounds like a great tip! I was wishing we knew how to fly fish because it seemed we would probably catch more with a fly, but that would be a great solution to our lack in fly fishing knowledge but also have something sitting on the water! Can’t wait to try it!!

[@scottburgess696]

@MTN_BUILT yes it was the eagle caps, been packing in for 35+year's and backpacked before then, love it! I've packed all tried all kinds of lures, but the setup I mentioned seems to work consistently the best, good luck!

[@MTN_BUILT]

We appreciate the advise for sure!! ☺️☺️

[@jeanjones7486]

You all looked like you were really getting a great break from the heat! Being in yhat cold water. Glad your animals could enjoy a little chill too! God bless!👍🙏

[@MTN_BUILT]

Haha yes it was colder than we expected! The dogs sure were having fun 😂😂 thanks for watching!!

[@jumpinggazellerathe8733]

That was a great one guys! You're so blessed to be able to go out with your mules and fish up there! Was such a nice relaxing video too

[@MTN_BUILT]

Thank you so much!! We don’t take it for granted ☺️ thank you so much for watching and commenting!

[@Beardedfurflinger]

Awesome adventure & miss that,the high country lakes & country are awesome,the dogs needed their time to & look happy,some go to church & speak of his wonders,I prefer the high country & see them 🙏🇺🇸

[@MTN_BUILT]

The dogs were having so much fun! 😂😂😂 they weren’t all that helpful for fishing but they really enjoyed swimming! Yeti was out in the middle just swimming here and there for like an hour 😅😅 You can’t see that country and not see Gods hand in it all 😍😍

[@laurence1643]

It doesn't get any better ! Great companion, beautiful country, good dogs and good livestock ! Just how I remember pack trips in the eastern Sierras. Thanks for letting me go with you .

[@MTN_BUILT]

Thanks for joining along ☺️ it was a great little trip 😃

[@dzuverink]

So what was for dinner and desert? LOL. Looks like a relaxing way to spend a hot day. Wish I lived in the mountains to do that.

[@MTN_BUILT]

Bighorn backstrap street tacos made on the traeger and peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream 😋 it was a great day! 😊

[@nmelkhunter1]

@@MTN_BUILT I'm officially jealous. Love me some backstrap! What did you season it with?

[@MTN_BUILT]

@@nmelkhunter1 just some salt and pepper but let it smoke on the taeger for a couple of hours until it was up to heat then did a reverse sear on the stove in a little butter 🤤

[@nmelkhunter1]

Amazing video great country and beautiful day love your videos

[@MTN_BUILT]

Thank you so much! We really appreciate you watching! ☺️

[@trippinoutdoors]

I'm guessing Alyssa will be the victor in the fishing tournament, though I immediately figured she would the moment it was posed. I also _MAY_ have called Jason a coward when he reacted to the idea of loser surviving on their own in the wilderness for a month. 😂 I love these kinds of adventures, whether I'm a part of them or I get to enjoy them through others! Squirrel faceplanting hardcore into that ditch was HILARIOUS 😂 Classic example of dogs not being too bright haha

[@MTN_BUILT]

Haha right?! I thought surviving in the wilderness for a month was fitting! But dinner and desert were good so I guess it worked out 😂 Poor squirrel lol!! I hate to admit it but when we watched the footage at home we laughed so hard, until then we hadn’t realized he biffed it so bad! 😂 Thanks for watching!! ☺️

[@jeffwilcher3333]

A great video of a great day !! Onward and Upward is Still the Watchword !!

[@marktaylor8263]

First off, 20 minutes to SHORT, lol. What a way to spend a day! Riding mules up into a high mountain lake, fishing for trout, and Jason catches the first trout!God favors beginners luck, lol. What a great way to enjoy my cup of coffee. Awesome day. Already awaiting next video.

[@MTN_BUILT]

Haha! 😂 thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to comment! So glad you enjoyed it ☺️ it was a wonderful day and a great way to get out of the heat for a while! It was a blast watching the dogs have so much fun 😂

[@kraymississippi4388]

I know it gets cold there but 100 degrees is every day here and AC is a must how do you stand it we have horse flies here that will chase you into the water hope they're not like that there that blanket on cedar is cool is it hand made glad you're back thanks kray

[@MTN_BUILT]

100 degrees is pretty hot here, and we aren’t used to it! We also have a dry heat so we shouldn’t complain haha! Oh man the horse flies are so bad this year! Big giant things and man does it sting when they bite 😬 Thank you! I don’t think it’s hand made but I love the native style type of print on it ☺️ she looks pretty good in those colors! Haha

[@calebgmusic]

Love seeing the view over the dun’s ears. Just started working with our 3yo grulla mule. Those black tipped ears bobbing make me excited to ride Silas through the mtns here in Appalachia one day. Appreciate y’all!

[@MTN_BUILT]

That’s so awesome! I’m excited for you, and I totally agree- you can’t beat the view through those black tipped ears 😊 Good luck with your grulla! It’s pretty cool to have the opportunity to train one from the beginning!

[@cactuspatti405]

Have you ever tried boat bumpers when ponying young mules? Light and bouncy. They can bounce off anything cant hurt anything of course you need to get them used to them alittle at home 1st. All my babies carried them when we ponied off momma. Just a thought for you young mules

[@MTN_BUILT]

No we haven’t! Great idea!! We have lightweight car tires we use ☺️

There is a squirrel wreck towards the end of the video 😅😅😅 thankfully the little guy was alright!

[@nmelkhunter1]

@@MTN_BUILT That was an awesome day and video! I was really hoping Allyssa would catch the first fish, but it was still fun to watch her take the dive into the lake. I'm glad Squirrel is ok, and I will admit I laughed, in relief, when he wrecked and kept going like nothing happened. Your dogs are awesome! Thank you for sharing your awesome day!

[@MTN_BUILT]

It was so much colder than we expected haha! Oh my gosh poor squirrel, we didn’t realize how bad he biffed it until we got home and were watching the footage! 😂😂 poor guy, we laughed so hard, knowing he was okay!

It really is so pretty up there!

[@KLO_Barrelracing]

Love fishing with my ponies also the dun mule with stripes on his legs is super cool btw I know a very good fishing hole you might be able to take stock down there but you’d have to hobble them or tie them up because is a very Streep drop down and it’s to deep to walk across but we usually kayak in there but I pack my paddle bird down and man is that a work out it’s about a 8 hour floating total very fun

[@MTN_BUILT]

That sounds awesome!! ☺️

Everyone looks great and the mules did so good! What a lovely spot. Random and unrelated question, does Alissa have highlights? Her hair is so beautiful ❤ what does she use for her hair?

My dad had 2 mules, he named molly & Jack. One of them kicked him in the chest, he had a bruise for a long time. My dad was always good with animals, he was never mean to anything. I don't know why the mule kicked him, but he sold them before they killed him.

[@MTN_BUILT]

Hmm strange! Who knows! Maybe the mule had something happen in its past or was startled, hard to say! Glad your dad was okay though!!

😂😂😂 we were talking about an intern! That’s close right??

[@bobwalton3642]

It would be nice to watch it without the music so we could hear them walking

[@MTN_BUILT]

Yeah, we try to keep it turned down so you can hear them. It’s a hard line of keeping things interesting for people and making it more of an ASMR style. We’ve tried to leave music out and those videos just don’t do as well ☺️👍🏼

[@evonnewhalen9794]

Why are mules manes cut so short?

[@MTN_BUILT]

They don’t really grow much of a mane so it’s tradition to roach them. 🙂

[@dragally1]

I suggest you cut off two hooks so it's easier to release them unharmed. Good vid, I'm actually in the market for a mule right now. My saddle horse isnt getting it. I love fishing Idaho!

[@MTN_BUILT]

@@dragally1 yeah we should or bend the barbs back! Good idea ☺️ good luck on your mule search! There’s nothing better for the mountains if you get a good one in our opinion 😃👍🏼

[@dragally1]

@@MTN_BUILT Some areas only allow 1 hook but thats probably just the catch and release areas I fish. Anyway have another adventure for me! lol
