Campsite Tour & What You Should AVOID In Quartzsite Arizona

[@GotOut]

Why do you think someone would want to camp in their RV in the washes out here in Quartzsite? I thought it was strange, but I also didn’t want to bug anybody.

I got stuck in a wash in a two-wheel drive truck in Anza borrego desert many years ago. My girlfriend and I were freaking out cuz we couldn't get that truck out of that sand no matter how hard we tried. And then along came this guy in a lifted 4x4 truck. He backed the truck up to our truck, hooked up a strap, and yanked us out of the wash and then drove away. He never said one word. The guy was like The lone ranger.

[@HereComesTheSunLittleDarlin]

That is too funny. I love it.

[@patfisher22]

Definitely want to get out there next winter. Great video.

Echo was under that limb like “Look, Dad, I built a fort!”

[@GotOut]

Yeah he’s crazy! It’s a dead palo verde tree and it’s full of spiky branches! 🌵🌲🐕‍🦺🐕

[@RiverRoamFree]

Nice that you helped the guy!

[@prissilou]

As I have already told you, my husband and I are looking forward to coming to Quartzite in a year or two; we would come now but we have 2 special needs granddaughters that we have been raising since 2010, and we have to make sure they are ensconced in good living situations before we can take off for adventures. We can't wait! Love to the pups! More videos please!

[@GotOut]

Family is first. Very cool 🌵🌲🐕🐕‍🦺

[@pleasantstreetgarage]

you are getting much better at your video edits. i almost unsubscribed tonight. now i decided it will be fun to watch your channel grow.

[@GotOut]

Haha that’s funny! Let me know if you have any more specific ideas about editing. I’m interested.🌵🌲

[@pleasantstreetgarage]

@@GotOut I can totally see you improving rapidly. I guess just keep doing it and we'll both see where it goes. Drone movements, to be specific, caught my eye. I know you just got the thing and all but, looks good.

[@teedeedill]

Nice spot you found. Not far from you at all but would never drop by unannounced. I think a meetup would be good for your channel but understand your point as well. There are a lot of people just like you that like the solitude including me. I have been just miles from you many times in the last year all the way up In Williams and Flagstaff area. Regardless, You have a great channel. Get your solar and batterys done. World of difference!

[@GotOut]

Hey wow! Thanks! Sounds like we are following similar paths! 🌲🌵

[@joesoutdoorplaces]

Eko dug a cool hole in the shade to lay in. I’d love the peace and quiet there. Must be great.

[@GotOut]

Thanks for reminding me to enjoy the peace and quiet! 🌵🌲

[@kennybyrd770]

I sure hope you decide to do a meet up! Your one of my favorites. I'm near rolling earthship and the campulance man. Have not met them though. My Nomadic dream is another i would enjoy seeing. Totally respect your decision as well.

[@trenttoole6513]

Thanks for all the camping tips at courtsite.Enjoy watching your videos

[@GotOut]

Glad to hear you like the tips. Sometimes I never really know what people want to see, so I just kind of show and share the things that I am interested in myself. 🌵🌲

[@RVingwithG]

13:22 I ordered one and it was too big so I had to cut a quarter inch off and if you do so do it on the top edge so the bottom is factory smooth😊

[@GotOut]

Oh hey that’s a great tip! 🌵🌲

[@shannonagain3]

Get the white one and paint it that reddish color of one of those stripes on the outside of your rig. OR get the white one and spray it with a marine grade polyurethane (less likely for dirt to stick).

[@GotOut]

Hmmm interesting ideas.

[@gailshaversjr1773]

Good relaxed video. I’ve learned always better to wait and see if someone asks for help before going in. Sometimes that opens up a can of worms that you want to keep the lid on. 😳. Rule #1. Don’t make eye contact. 😆. You and the dogs got a nice relaxing spot. Enjoy✌🏻🇺🇸

[@RockBoxLife]

No bugs but what about mice and pack rats? I've heard some out there will get em and then fight to get em out! Is that one of them old school rubber used tire door mats? Haven't seen one of those forever, heavy too, keep a tarp from blowing away. Have you tried an actual quality carabiner like one that would dangle you from the side of a cliff😮

[@GotOut]

A good carabiner might work. I use a 250lb Lead for him. I should do a video about the rodents here. And what I do to prevent them. Thanks for the suggestion! 🌲🌵

[@RockBoxLife]

@GotOut yes please do, I want to make sure I prep my build against rodents!

[@boomer16323]

Get the black plastic door slider and spray paint the outside shown side white. Or get the white one and keep some baby wipes handy to keep your hands clean.

[@GotOut]

Yeah it’s rough plastic and hard to keep clean. Maybe a new one will have better plastic that is not textured. 🌵🌲

[@scottsmith5095]

I’ve never been to the desert, but from what I understand, washes are also where all the critters congregate because there is vegetation for them to hide in. I would think you’d have a higher risk of mouse infestation and the like if you camped in a wash.

[@carefreehighway]

Looks like camp Flintstones the size of those bones your dogs were carrying . I used to keep doormats inside and out the camper door . Now I keep just one off the ground and out the door on my step .

[@judyconnelly6919]

I enjoyed this informative video. Yes, I want to go to Quartzsite and check it out. Couldn't go this year but very possible next year. Thanks ❤❤

[@benboruff]

I wonder if the black plastic door cover-thingy could be painted to match the outside, but keep it black on the inside. I've camped in washes in a tent. No way I would take an RV into a wash. Maybe a 4x4 van with a bit of a lift. But even then, the ground in the washes is very soft, powdery dirt and sand. You would have to go slow and careful.

[@GotOut]

Haha it’s funny you all are giving me suggestions on My screen door panel! It’s such a small Insignificant that. But I think it’s really cool too! 🌲🌵

[@d.nicely]

Charger 1 ...I just installed it today for my Truck and Camper using Bluetti AC200L I'm all-electric.

[@MattAK]

Yeah folks, stay away from sleeping in washes or slot canyons in the desert. Even if the weather is clear where you are, a storm 20 miles away in the mountains could dump enough water to wash you away. Happens every year. I carry a recovery strap and shackles with me always just in case, actually had to use them to rescue a motorcycle last Spring that got stuck in foot deep mud.

[@GotOut]

Oh that sounds fun pulling a bike out of the mud.

[@carolynslette6073]

Do you ever worry about valley fever with your pups? All the dust and breathing it?

[@GotOut]

I can’t worry about stuff like that cause I can’t prevent it. Just got out of a crazy dust storm actually. Next video.

I have an 06 Ford e350 and a 5x8 utility trailer with a yamaha Tw200 dual sport to go to town on. I have no idea where to camp any recommendations would be appreciated.

[@UtahPaul]

You should take a ride to KOFA National Reserve. Its beautiful there. Its about 20 miles from you.

[@GotOut]

That’s a really good idea. I’ve only seen a couple pictures so not really sure what to expect. 🌵🌲

A flash flood can happen at any time. I would never camp in a wash, but some people can't see the forest through the trees 😢. May the good Lord watch over you and your family and friends. Peace and Love 😊.

[@shannonagain3]

Question: are you not able to consolidate from two to one collar on Echo? You do you, I just find it odd. Lol

[@GotOut]

It’s a good question. Eko needs a very strong collar. And the one that I have decided on using does not have any reflectivity on it. So the second color is more brightly colored and also has a reflective stripe on it, which shows up great at night. But it’s not nearly strong enough to restrain him. The second collar also serves as a back up because it also has tags on it in case he gets lost. 🌲🐕‍🦺🐕🌵

[@shannonagain3]

@@GotOut gotcha.

[@randomspirit]

Must be time to pack the wheel-bearings. Good times. LOL! Dirty? Pffft! I worked potato harvest fourteen years in a row. You're not dirty. I came home every night covered in black dirt from head to toe...and I was a truck driver, so I wasn't even putting my hands in it like the warehouse workers did. LOL! I have often wondered if it'd be a good idea to get a topographical map of Quartzite. What do you think?

[@GotOut]

Yeah you’re right I’m not that dirty… just smelly! Well cell signal is pretty decent but paper map would not be a bad idea if out 4 wheeling but it gets pretty rugged so have to a well equipped vehicle.

[@timsforcoffee]

Bones fit for kings! Awesome 😎 Had to laugh when you said “I’m not sure what kind of crew I’m dealing with”. In a future video, could you describe your daily battery bank usage and why you could use a bit more battery.

[@UtahPaul]

I would like to meet you and your dogs in Quartzsite. I have a dog she's a Shih Tzu and she would love to meet you guys too. We have plenty of treats on hand.

[@cdlund2840]

I would never camp in a wash. Surprised BLM doesn't give that advice in their pamphlet. I was camping near a wash years ago and we woke up to what sounded like a jumbo jet approaching and as it got louder and louder we finally figured out it was a flash flood and the wall of water at the front was 12 feet high. We had no rain and no clouds. That storm was 60 miles away. That is a death wish to camp in a wash.

[@GotOut]

Omg! I can’t imagine a flash flood like that!! I think it actually does say something about camping in washes in the blm pamphlet 🌲🌵

[@LindaCoffee-e3k]

It could be beautiful and sunny there, but if it rains in the mountain it will fill fast. Never camp in a wash. My husband was a combat engineer. Saved a whole company, when he got on site and saw where they had troops camping. He told the captain , see that water line, move them out of there, captain argued with him, but finally moved them. That night, there was a flash flood. If the company had stayed where they were at, all lives would have died. And millions in equipment lost. Know your surroundings. Stay alert.

[@SpaceForce2019]

Camping in a wash is not smart at all. It can rain miles away and those washes become rivers. Last winter those were full during the rains. Always seek high ground. I replaced the slided in my screen door and the square plastic part with clear ones. So nice now I can see through them.

[@terryballard4674]

Why does everybody in QS get so excited about that big white tent? Are there great deals onside? Is stuff free? Is it the only thing to do in the boring desert?

[@GotOut]

[@rebeccaspencer1343]

Sometimes I giggle cause I hear you saying one thing and maybe thinking another. I would ask the guy in the wash if he is new to Q and if he is tell him it floods. If he's stuck, he might ask for help. And the white peice on the door doesn't matter if it's black or white. I seriously doubt a ranger cares. I wish I was there. Instead I am sitting in 11 inches of snow and ice. Dodger seems to move a little better.

[@GotOut]

Yeah you notice me second guessing myself! Ha! That’s what I do all the time. The dogs can only help so Much with the decision making! 🌵🌲🐕‍🦺🐕

[@GotOut]

And you are right about the door panel but eventually the rig could look all Pieced together and that might cause extra attention? Do you think I’m overthinking it? That’s all I can do out here is think! 🌲🌵

[@djRockalot]

your thinking right @@GotOut one thing leads to another then the whole rig will look like crap so its best to keep up on it. I think the same i.e. perception and judgement, everyone does it so I think its best to keep it all looking professional, no ones going to hate that but plenty will hate on you when it looks like its on the verge of breaking down... and getting abandoned... that really gets their attention!

[@donnawest2316]
