Camping Oddities! Cargo Trailer And A Safe Camp

[@markleaman8313]

Hey Guys, thanks again for sharing. I live in Canada, and have never really experienced all that your country has to offer in regards to beautiful landscapes. I may never get the chance to see what you have, but I live though you and your adventures. Thanks for enrichening my life. See you on the next one!

[@gonagain]

Thanks Mark, I hope you make it down this way someday. In the meantime, thanks for watching our videos.

Linda is so Kool and laid back...you are a blessed man 👍👍👍

[@BirdPhish]

Hey there friends....I know this area very well!! Really enjoyed seeing this again, brought back some wonderful memories! I rode my mountain bike on the that Devils Backbone road...riding up that 14% grade! Yep...when younger I did a mountain bicycle tour starting from Hurricane Utah all the way out to Capital Reef National Park going thru Zyon and Bryce National parks, I rode over a 12.400 ft pass and was camping off of my bicycle along the way. The purpose and highlight I rode the dirt road all along Capital Reef to go up the Burr Trail switchbacks to Boulder Utah on the way back from Capital Reef. Over 600 miles on the bike with gear and lots more on foot hiking at the 3 national parks in 2 weeks time. Not satisfied...I loved the tour so much I did all over again 2 years later. I was in good shape back then! Happy Camping!

[@RVingwithG]

WOW, that was a "L" of a ride. Boy, you had to be in good shape and a real man to pull that off. GOOD JOB and Fun times! !! My biggest "Healthy" big deal was climbing Mt' Borah in Idaho, 12, 700 +/- it too has a (Devil's back-bone) "Chicken neck" where you have to crawl around on all fours and the same for the last 1,000 feet to the top at where the point is 10 x 10 area.

[@gonagain]

Wow BirdPhish! Nice trip! I tried long distance biking when I was in my early 20s and blew out my knee (tore the miniscus) so that was the end of that. You did well!

[@BirdPhish]

@@RVingwithG Lol...fun times indeed! I had called ahead to the police station in Hurricane to get their permission to leave my car in their lot and start the tour there. When I got there and went inside to let them know I was there and leaving my car they had to come out and get a look. I still remember the looks on their faces and them commenting "Do you have any idea what that road is like out to Capital Reef? ....they thought I was completely, utterly nuts lol

[@BirdPhish]

@@gonagain Thanks....the only part I didn't ride was the tunnel in Zion...I begged them to let me ride thru it but they wouldn't let me, had to hitch a ride thru the tunnel. I did over 50 mph after the 12,400 ft. pass coming down the mountain heading into Torrey and Capital Reef... but the scariest part was not on my bike....it was on the hike I did to Angel's Landing in Zion :)

[@gonagain]

@@BirdPhish yeah... I won't be doing that one! I'm a retired pilot, but heights, viewed like that, are not my thing.

[@hgj2019]

SOOO MANY BEAUTIFUL PLACES, especially out west. Many times the best way to see them is camping. Hotels are just too far away, but to an even greater extent you are so very out of touch with all that beauty. My CTC just works so well as a camper. What I like most is being warm and dry, having a few small creature comforts in my old age. As I was watching the beginning of this video I thought of all the times I was very comfortable - warm and dry - in my CTC or the truck camper before. How smug I felt as I listened to the weather rage outside. I thought of tent camping when I was younger and the same feelings in a good sleeping bag in a good tent. Something about that feeling of security and peace that is soul satisfying.

[@gonagain]

I know what you're talking about, like the rain overhead on the roof but being warm and dry inside. Linda says it's "cocoonish" (like a cocoon).

So true about "just getting out there"! I started my sailing "career" racing keelboats on Lake Ontario. As you say, it wasn't so much about the sailing, but the weekly dose of "getting out there". I haven't sailed in years now, and my passion for the last 15 + years has become camping and backpacking.. I so agree with your philosophy: find what you love and love doing it while being outside--that stretches to so many activities. Have just found your channel, have subscribed and am working my way through the collection. Thank you for such a down to earth and common sense approach to camping and life in general. Am enjoying them all so far!

[@thizizliz]

I swear you could spend the rest of a long life exploring the west and with an occasional wifi connection, you can look up the stuff you've found and where you might want to go next. We loved exploring and if my husband gets to where he can get around again, I want to get a small trailer to pull. We're like you - it's just a place to sleep and keep your stuff. Outside is why we like to be out and about. Here in Joshua Tree NP there are a lot of old mines and boy, those miners left stuff - cars, cans, bits and pieces but it's fun to explore. We take nothing but photos and memories.

Skull does look similar to mountain lion, but too many molars for a mountain lion. Bear has been closest so far. Could be calf or horse as well. Not much left of it so hard to tell. Teeth that are left look herbivore or omnivore(plant grinding).

[@gonagain]

Yeah, I'm thinking omnivore too. Maybe a bear cub.

[@bissoondathramlal2311]

I just looked at an episode of MOUNTAIN MEN where the guy shot and harvested a bear, he boiled the skull and cleaned it. This skull look exactly the same with regards to the features except a bit smaller. I am leaning towards a female or young bear.

[@taco472]

I once spend an entire day setting out a wind storm/ sand storm in my 13’ camp trailer with those old louvered glass windows. We were camping by the ‘Salton Sea’ in so. Calif. The wall of sand hit about 10 am. and didn’t stop until about 8 that evening. At times during the day we couldn’t make out the bath house less than 100’ away, we use wet bandannas to breathe through. Fun times for sure. Another great video, looking forward to the ‘ghost towns’. Safe travels.

As usual Rick, you and Linda never disappoint. You were talking about the wind and I thought about when I was trucking. Went through a couple hurricanes back then and made it through. Spent a lot of time out west too. When I parked at night, I always tried to find a place that I could put the nose of my truck into the wind. It made a huge difference and with the little trailer should help you guys. It cuts way down on the trailer rocking and easier to get in the back of your Tahoe. Hope it helps and Happy Trails!

Reminded me of driving across Montezuma's Backbone (my name for it) on a solo 200+ mile dirt road trip in Baja Mexico 36 years ago (coastal road south of La Paz to Cabo). Washed out on both sides of the dirt road making it about a foot or two wider than the width of my 4WD Toyota truck. I saw no other vehicles on that road except the abandoned shells of a few that didn't make it and saw only one other person who sailed up to a beach I was sunning on and paid a visit only long enough to tell me a joke then left (truly surreal).

Great video as usual and great content . Where I grew up in Colorado, the old Ute trail went through our place , so needless to say we found thousands of arrow heads , scrapers , knives , awls , etc. But one time hunting arrow heads in the basin I came across a small section of rock jetting up out of the ground maybe 10' . There was a short rock maybe 2 1/2 ' high about a foot away and a pile of chips by it. I sorted through the pile & came up with about 7 arrow heads of varying quality . One was kind of interesting because it looked like this native had started to nap out 4 arrow heads at once , as the heads were started on all fours but tips were broken off.! I remember visualizing him either sitting on that short rock in the shade of the larger rock napping out arrow heads or sitting on the ground napping them on the rock . There had been some good rains the last few years so there had been some small washes come right through this spot so I hunted down to the end of the wash & found 5 more , a great day to say the least , so I know well how you feel !!! :-) happy hunting you two . Big D.

This year has been tough getting out as much as I would like, due to my work load and some minor health issues. I'm very familiar with many of the ghost towns and mine camps if you ever need ideas on places to go explore. I spend a lot of time on my computer along with map programs researching places of interest around Montana. I've got a pretty good metal detector but have not mastered how to fully use it lol.

You know Rick, I think that we are cut from the same cloth we used to have a 30 ft Coronado sloop, anchored out in San Diego bay and used to sail to Mexico on weekends, and yes I hunt archery, my guess, were you in the Navy? I was Army, my son is active as a Staff Sargent, and my son in law is a first lieutenant, we are a Army Proud family, anyway your videos really hit home thanks for your efforts.

Thank you both for your service, and I mean that sincerely. No, I was never in the military but always look up to those that serve. As for sailing there's something about harnessing mother nature in such an elegant way that I like. Thanks David!

Hope you go some of the ghost town that I've been to. Love Montana and Idaho!!!

[@gonagain]

Hope so Eileen. Those videos will be out soon.

AS ALWAYS, Another Great Adventure! (video)!!! :o)

Mountain lions have pointed teeth along sides too. No molars. Triangle shape.

Thanks Rick, we later determined that this skull was a mountain goat.

We have been over devils backbone but I didn't know it was called that, I was just freaking out. 🤣

[@gonagain]

I'm not 100% sure of the name, but it's memorable.

i love that Linda is packing!

[@gonagain]

She always is and can hit what she's aiming at. She has trophies on the wall to prove it. Tough for a little bugger.

Rick and Linda, This comment has nothing to do with the skull you found. 😉 I've been meaning to comment for some time but we watch most of our videos on our Roku on our TV with no ability to comment. Thanks for all your videos, both of you. My wife and I stumbled across your channel around 8 or 9 months ago and really started going back and watching most of them the past month or so. We enjoy the many beautiful places you both travel, and hope to do the same thing, wanting to turn a cargo trailer into a camper too someday. We follow multiple channels that are similar. We don't like the expense and low quality or designs of RV campers much either. We appreciate the time and effort required to make these videos and appreciate your humble, no nonsense approach to how to do things, product reviews, tips and ideas, and just advice from people like yourselves that simply want to share the knowledge they've acquired that comes from years of experience. Thats rare these day. I don't miss the cold of where you call you call home but I do miss the beauty of Wyoming, Montana, Idaho and the pacific northwest! I was born in Cody, moved away and moved back as a teenager and moved away again so I grew up there somewhat. I even learned to snow ski in Red Lodge Montana! So much natural beauty up that way so many have no clue! You both are truly blessed! Someday in the next few years we may be able to travel in the same way, that's our plan at least, Lord willing, AND if this country hasn't fallen apart by then! Lol... Blessings to you both from the beautiful state of Arkansas! 😁😁😁

Hi Tony, thank you for your very kind words. Sometimes we ourselves don't even know what our channel is about, but you've described it pretty well for us. We've had a lot of adventures in our 46 years of marriage and managed to do it by keeping things simple and affordable and we try to pass that idea along to others. Good luck with your own plans and if you see us on the road come say hi!

Great video, I really enjoyed it. 🙂 As brave as I was going thru the New Mexico mountains on my maiden voyage with my 2003 high roof Sprinter RV this winter, I'm not sure Devil's Backbone is for me. My van is like a sailboat and I think I'd be white knuckling it all the way. Hoping I can get back to NM and AZ again this winter. Maybe even southern Utah in the spring.

[@gonagain]

All beautiful areas, but south central Utah will amaze you.

After comparing to skulls online, I agree with the people saying bear skull. The carnassial teeth of a mountain lion are much pointier.
