Backpacking to Cooper Canyon Trail Camp | Bushcraft

Matt and I decided to brave the conditions and do an overnight at Cooper Canyon Trail camp in the Angeles National Forest. There was some good times and good food on this trip. We even honed up on our bushcraft skills.

Fun little trip. Glad the bees didn’t get you worse. Dinner and breakfast looked amazing!

[@HuckOutdoors]

Thanks Catherine! We thought we would try some different food this trip and it turned out great!

[@iloveukstuff]

Glad I watched the whole video! I was wondering if there were bear boxes and I was disappointed when I didn't see them at the beginning. Cool to see when they went in!

[@CastFromTheHip]

I tell you what, those campfire meals looked great. Carl’s junior salsa definitely tied it all together. Glad you guys survived the bee attack!

[@HuckOutdoors]

That bee attack was insane! Haven't ran that hard in a long time.

[@CastFromTheHip]

Huck Outdoors I tell you what, bees will get ya morning for sure haha.

[@BrosephRussell]

[@hillrunner2]

Enjoy your video's so much, I learn so much of what to pack and type a gear to use.

[@HuckOutdoors]

Glad to hear it!

[@inourelementADVNTRS]

This was great!

[@HuckOutdoors]

Thanks bud!

[@williamreeder4902]

Great Video

[@HuckOutdoors]

Thanks buddy!

[@louiecobarrubio3482]

Time to have a 2k camp out soon!

[@HuckOutdoors]

For sure!

[@brianpowell5082]

Have you ever taken the Burkhart Trail. It is not too far away from the area, and I believe you can link to it on trail from Cooper Canyon Trail Camp. You can hike between Buckhorn Campground and Devil's Punchbowl. It is challenging and unbelievable scenic. The stretch at and under Buckhorn is adorn with some of the lushest and tallest pines, firs, Incense-Cedars, and even huge White Alders in The San Gabriels. You can access Burkhart Saddle and hike to Will Thrall Peak, Pallett Mtn, and scores of other peaks along Pleasant View Ridge.

[@HuckOutdoors]

I need to do that whole loop back by the punchbowl. I have came down from buckhorn and did parts of that trail.

[@W6RIPRadioAdventures]

Great Video!! Dang you guys eat real good. I usually have miso soup and spam. lol. Seemed really peaceful down there at camp.

[@HuckOutdoors]

Thanks man! On short hikes like that, it's worth it bringing the extra weight of some good food out there. Sometimes I eat better out on the trail, then at home. lol That camp is very relaxing in the back part.

[@TheWasatchGearReview]

Beautiful area my friend! Cheers!

[@HuckOutdoors]

Yes it is very beautiful!

[@deannday4]

Great video, campsite looked, great food & I loved the footage of the clouds & stars shot through the tree tops!

[@HuckOutdoors]

Thanks for watching Deann! It's a great little campsite for sure!

[@dylanvanbavel5804]

Went there a couple years ago, the video brought back some memories Great vid👍🏻

[@HuckOutdoors]

Time to go back!

[@20robertang]

Such a beautiful place. Definitely I’m going there one day. Great video buddy.

[@HuckOutdoors]

Let's go!

[@potatothorn]

[@HuckOutdoors]

Thanks for watching bud! The fire at camp was so relaxing!

[@outdoorcorn9915]

Glad to see there was some water flowing while you were there. I'm planning to head back out there after a good rain, set up camp & head to the falls. Nice time lapse on the clouds, amigo!

[@HuckOutdoors]

Thanks bud! Just watch out for those bees and hornets!

[@OLDBD1]

Nice

[@HuckOutdoors]

Thanks for watching!

[@Pat.fran85]

I’ve run into bee swarms on the trail to Spruce Grove. Back then they were predicting killer bee attacks which never really happened. I used to worry about being attacked by them in the wild,

[@HuckOutdoors]

I remember the Killer Bee Scare! Man everytime I saw a bee, we would think are those killer bees!

[@Iguanaman321]

Hey Jason! Gave you a shout out on Jeff Williams next video! Take Care friend!

[@HuckOutdoors]

Dude that's awesome! Thanks bud! Hope all is well! Hope you got some good gold!

[@HuckOutdoors]

Dude that was cool! Just saw the video!!! Thank you! Hope all is going well!

[@mjwmjw470]

Great video Jason and awesome campsite. Food looked delish. Also I just watched Never Hike Alone...the fan made Friday the 13th filmed at the old boyscout campground you randomly found in one of last videos. I'm a huge 13th fan and would never have heard of that movie without watching your video of you exploring the area. Thx for all you do brother....happy trails

[@HuckOutdoors]

That never hike alone was great for a fan flick! Thanks for all the support!

[@Motorep146]

Another awesome video. I don't see how you find the time!

[@HuckOutdoors]

LOL Weekends are my play time!

[@Motorep146]

I hear ya'. I've been taking notes of the areas you're hiking and fishing. We're kind of land locked down in San Diego. We go east and hit desert! Any plans to do a review on your Cedar Ridge quilt? That's my next purchase. Looking forward to the tarp and bivy review.

[@JeremyOdom]

That looks like a great site! Did you need a permit to camp overnight?

[@HuckOutdoors]

Adventure pass to park, that's it!

[@powercourageandwisdom]

Thanks for the video. It's really beautiful in that area. Are the new bear boxes the same as the ones at little jimmy? Take care. -T.

[@HuckOutdoors]

Hey Tony. Yeah that area was awesome after the rain! Not sure if they are the same style as Little Jimmy.

[@redwhiteblue7831]

That's a cool campsite... What knife did you use for batoning? The food looked delicious. What are the plans for your 2,000 subscribers? Thanks for sharing, take care.

[@HuckOutdoors]

We were using a Mora Garberg and a Mora BUshcrafter. Want to do a meetup with 2,000 subs and also a cool contest!

[@redwhiteblue7831]

@@HuckOutdoors... sounds good, I hope I can make it. It would be cool to finally meet you in person.

[@gilbertcarmona4177]

Great vid once again bro. My family and I will be doing this one for sure. Is that camp site BLM?

[@HuckOutdoors]

No it's first come first serve forest service camping. Lots of big sites there.

[@gilbertcarmona4177]

@@HuckOutdoors awsome dude thank you

[@izbiz671]

Which trail did you use? the Burkhart or the PCT? or the fire road next to PCT?

[@HuckOutdoors]

part of the pct and fireroad

[@ohdannyboy4727]

was there a fee to park the car or just the adventure pass? its close to my place and I have done much camping in that area.

[@HuckOutdoors]

Just adventure pass!

[@danielmarquez467]

Where did you guys park your cars at Cloudburst Summit?

[@HuckOutdoors]

In the turnout. You can see where others park there. Next to the gate.

[@danielmarquez467]

Thank you, Huck.

[@rharris338]

Noob question, how do you keep the eggs, sausage, etc cold at your campsite?

[@HuckOutdoors]

Hi Randy. The temps weren't too bad on this trip, but I usually carry my food for an overnight trip in a soft sided freezer container like this: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01145L2JM/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Sometimes I will put a frozen bottle of water in there that helps keep everything cold for the day. Eggs can stay out of the fridge for about a week after being in the fridge, so these eggs were pulled out the night before. The sausage I had on this trip was already precooked as well;

[@TheMinuteman1964]

how is this campground for hammock camping?

[@HuckOutdoors]

Perfect for Hammocks, but it my have burnt up during the Bobcat fire

[@Leadmeoutdoors]

Yea dude! That was an awesome overnight. Not our typical type stuff but loved every minute of it. Nice to have a relaxing trip with good food and a fire. You captured it all perfectly and those time lapses turned out awesome! Can’t wait to go back there!

[@HuckOutdoors]

That was a great relaxing trip.

[@mikelopez5865]

Are there any Bear boxes ? Or did you hang you’re food ?

[@HuckOutdoors]

We hung our food. As we were leaving they were installing bear boxes.
