BETTER Than YELLOWSTONE! [The Black Hills]

[@adrianberryhill]

Easily the best yet. WOW, incredible cinematography, editing, story telling, everything. Just incredible.

[@MTN_BUILT]

Thank you so much!! That trip was so much fun! We’re scheming a trip back to that country soon 😊 Hope you guys have a great week!

[@Walter_Esta2]

I haven't rode a horse in over 60 years! Then I rode only on my late brother's farm. They were fun times. Custer State Park was my favorite place to camp for decades. Now I find my adventures exclusively on the internet. Your videos provide wonderful reminisce. Please continue sharing your adventures. BTW Kansas has wonderful hills & parks too. It's NOT flat.

[@MTN_BUILT]

Those are awesome memories! 😃 thank you for watching! We haven’t been to Kansas but some of the state looks so amazing with the cedars and hills! We always look at whitetail deer hunting properties and there are some beautiful places in Kansas it would be a state we would consider for sure ☺️

[@ronmetcalf1972]

So nice to see someone out who wants to see/admire the bison without disturbing them. Some of these people who go to Yellowstone and just get out of their cars and march right up to the bison there are just unbelievable. They think the bison are going to welcome them I guess.

[@MTN_BUILT]

lol yeah I just drove through Jackson the other day for work and it was ridiculous. A bison herd was crossing the road and everyone was out taking pictures making them nervous. No one knows how to drive through a herd, when to wait or when to go 🤦🏼‍♀️😂 The bison in Custer are rounded up by horseback every year so they seem to have some respect for equines but we wouldn’t push it. We just try to admire them from a distance 😂👍🏼

[@kennytebbe1412]

Excellent video!! Thanks for sharing the beauty of the park. Keep them coming.

[@MTN_BUILT]

Thank you so much! We appreciate you watching ☺️

[@candacebruner9805]

This video gave me such a sense of calm. It's so relaxing and enjoyable to watch. My husband and I went to Crazy Horse and the Theodore Rosevelt monument during our van life adventures across the US. This video brought back all of those memories close to my heart! There's just something about the earth and being so connected with nature. It's how we were meant to be. This concrete, payment filled, suberbian, citified world is not a world of life, its too clustered, chaotic and fast paced. Love the realness and beauty of the true natural world you display in your videos and I hope your views skyrocket! Don't give up building your audience as you all have so much to give through these beautiful videos. As for reccomendations from a fellow equine lover- there's a place in North Carolina called "Love Valley" I've heard it's amazing as it's an old western town where you can ride your horses through it and experience what it was like in the Wild, Wild West. If you're feeling like a long road trip, I think it would be a great place to make memories! It's on my own bucket list. Happy Trails ya'll! 🐴

[@MTN_BUILT]

Wow thank you so much! The black hills really are such a special place. And I agree, the jungle of noise and concrete is not the world we want to live in. We hope we can offer an escape for people who are stuck in that lifestyle but dream of wide open spaces and living closer to the land ☺️ that place in N.C. Sounds amazing! If we ever end up over that way we will definitely check it out!

I took my 3 daughters on a 20 state RV trip, late May/June, and the Black Hills area was one of their favorites.

[@MTN_BUILT]

[@fritzozuna654]

Been there, but not like you guy's just did. Wow, you were able to to see it, and from horseback. Thanks for taking us along, sharing yours thoughts. Horseback is so wonderful, the warmth, the smell, the love of sharing the love of life with a grand animal. I'm the horses enjoyed getting out and to see new things too. I'm sure they too felt the danger of being so-close to the dangerous and unpredictable buffalo. Enjoy life while you're young......it don't last long. Thanks again ......

[@MTN_BUILT]

Thank you! It was definitely an incredible way to experience it! We were surprised with how well the mules did with the Bison. 🦬 I’m thankful they weren’t more bothered by them and kept us all safe. We would 10/10 recommend that trip horseback! We will for sure be going back and riding there again when we can ☺️

Hey have you ever felt like you know people and have never met them? That’s how I feel about you guys, and it’s a weird feeling. And somehow I feel close to Alyssa, somehow but I can’t explain it. Just so ya know I am 52years old, just an old guy with grey hair. Hopefully I didn’t freak you guys out just wanted to share this with you guys. Never felt so connected to people I have never met.

[@MTN_BUILT]

That’s awesome! We’ve wanted to apply for a few years to do that, but we are usually up in the mountains hunting when they are doing the round up! Sounds like it would be a blast though!! ☺️ thanks for watching!!

[@alanl4104]

Black Hills is maybe my most favorite area in this country, mind you I still have a lot of ground to cover, but the Hills will always be towards the top of the list. I've never had the opportunity to do any trail riding. I've hunted there multiple time so have covered much terrain on foot, mostly southwest of the Deerfield area and west of the Rochford area. If you ever get back check out the Spearfish Canyon, maybe have a lunch at the Moonshine Gulch Saloon in Rochford, definitely an experience. Thanks for the ride Al

[@MTN_BUILT]

The black hills really are just a special place! Thank you for the suggestion! We will have to stop in there if we go through that area ☺️ thanks for watching!

Hey if you didn't know BLM has a buffalo round up every year. My father has participated in it twice and the first time his friend used a mule. Photos and experience looked amazing. Also I really enjoy your content 🎉.

We thought about applying to that last year but since it’s in September we are usually gone on hunts. That would be SO fun to take the mules!!! Maybe one day we can 😃 that’s so awesome that your dad has participated!!

[@2009Berghof]

Rode my Missouri Fox-trotter from Fort Meade, SD south on the Centennial Trail (before it was so named) through Wind Cave and south to Fort Robinson-my favorite place. Ten days & 210 miles with just my three good companions: my rifle, my pony, and me. That was forty-years-ago! This was when Palmer Gulch trail rides was Smitty's Trail Rides. I agree, the Blacks Hills offer so much more than Yellowstone. Centennial was originally the Silver Arrow Boy Scout Trail. Got hailed on once then too. Ray Smith, founder of the original Circle B Chuckwagon Show put me and Erik up for the night and got me up on stage. I was dressed as an 1875 US Cavalry Trooper. The author of Moon of Popping Trees was there and he signed my forest service map. I donated my album of that trip to the museum at Fort Robinson just a few years ago. One of the highlights of my life. Watching of you riding brought tears to my eyes.

[@MTN_BUILT]

Wow! That’s amazing! What an adventure! 😊 It’s a dream of ours to do a ride like that some day. For now, we feel fortunate to just do day ride and little loops into the backcountry, but something like that would be amazing! Thanks so much for watching and for taking time to share your story 😊

[@2009Berghof]

Do yourselves a big favor and go riding at Fort Robinson State Park in Nebraska's best kept secret! An army post from 1874 through WWII. It was the Army's Remount Center where they bred and trained horses and mules. Beautiful Pine Ridge of Nebraska one-hour south of Hot Springs, SD. 22,000 acres to ride not to mention the adjacent federal grasslands. Board your animals in the Mare Barn. Entertainment, tours, history, lodge, cabins, campgrounds, restaurant and more!!

That is a beautiful park. Haven’t been there for 30 years. Maybe time to go back. Not sure how my old guy would react to a bison but he is a retired outfitters horse so guessing he would do better than most. Thanks for the video. Enjoyed it

We use a subscription for our music so that we can post our videos without copyright issues, I’m not sure you can find most of the songs elsewhere but the one with words in this video is a song called “Troubles” by Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors.

Nice video. Great photography and editing. Very pretty area and the buffalo make it better. This must be a pay campground? Thanks for sharing.

[@MTN_BUILT]

Thank you so much! The Buffalo were amazing to see- we really enjoyed it! 😊 And yes, I think it was around $15/night, but I can’t remember for sure. It was a great little spot to stay!

Watching now what kind of hot dogs and when was this thanks kray

[@MTN_BUILT]

I don’t remember, knowing us probably just a cheapo kind 😂😂 this was last May! We wanted to re-edit the footage and put together another video since we have gotten better at editing and people are probably visiting the park around this time of year so maybe it will be fun for people to watch if they are planning to go there! ☺️

That salad looks good and even better with some balsamic vinegarette. js

That’s a good point!! 😊 It was delicious… everything tastes better when you’re camping 😊

His actual name in Lakota translates to His Horse is Crazy beautiful place and I've been there but I wonder what it was like before we headed west thanks kray

[@MTN_BUILT]

That’s an interesting fact! 😃 I wonder what my name would have been 🤔 “her mule is crazy” 😜 I wonder that too… can you imagine riding into new country and coming over a ridge to find a valley FULL of bison… that must have been a sight.

[@tommythuntdeer]

Your mules are very well behaved. Good job! Do you guys follow “Born 100 Years Too Late”? His videos are also amazing. Your trip into Custer Park looked like fantastic fun! Loved seeing the Bison! Thanks for sharing!

😂😂😂😂 Lonesome Dove one of the greatest movies of all time, tied with Jeremiah Johnson in my mind. They have round up every year in September… we’ve thought about applying but are usually busy bow hunting elk. One of these years that would be really neat to join in on the roundup! -Alyssa
