Cowboy Camping and a tarp tent

[@williamk1452]

Great trip. Just good to get out. I've had my horse go for a "walk" before!! Grain in a can, can get them coming back. I say a good sleeping bag and you can enjoy the period stuff better. I'm sitting in my hut, in my sleeping bag, making coffee on the one burner @25 d/F , watching you do the same thing!! Awesome.

[@OverOnTheWildSide]

That’s awesome, glad to hear that’s how my video is being enjoyed.

[@AMM2217]

Amen on sleepin thru the night. Nice elk herd.

[@kristenvincent3622]

Awesome video! For the shoulder seasons when it’s cold I think using some modern comfort items to still get outside is worth it. I believe your horse is missing being around other horses, and that’s why she was wanting to follow the elk, she’s quite keyed up watching something in the distance, and not in a “predator?” look. I’m thinking she will be less inclined to wander once you add another riding horse to keep her company.

[@OverOnTheWildSide]

Thank you, I’m guessing the viewership won’t be as disappointed as I’m imagining by bringing in a sleeping bag haha. I agree with your assessment, I think she’s doing really well for a horse alone that hasn’t been alone for years at the least. I really look forward to having my two mares.

[@chrishov8890]

Never been to west coast maybe some day I hope, I'm in upper vt...

[@jnw60]

Hobbles are handy. If youre by yourself tie and hobble. Beats walking

[@OverOnTheWildSide]

My horses took off when I hobbled them.

[@CarlSanford76]

That's a mighty fine camp you got right there.

[@woodnugget1301]

Awesome nice little relaxing camp 🙏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿😀👍

[@2gpowell]

Now that is a great setup. Very cozy and relaxing camp. Enjoyed the video!

[@OverOnTheWildSide]

Thank you

[@OpenAirOutdoors]

A great adventure Mr.👌

[@cambo123451]

I enjoy these so much,thanks.Trial and error a great tutor.Thanks again.

[@OverOnTheWildSide]

Amen to that. I’m looking forward to my next one.

[@keepsendinit6754]

You could always make you a fart sack Is kinda a civil war thing you take a gum blanket and blankets and hemp or grass string and make an improvised bedroll pretty handy actually and light weight just thought Id help

[@journeyman7189]

Great overnighter and great setup. Nothing like early morning cardio lol. Could the cold you were feeling be caused by not enough ground insulation? You had a lot of blankets. I know I've not used enough ground insulation and froze by a** off even though I had a sleeping bag that was good for at least 20' colder. Nate

[@OverOnTheWildSide]

Yes it was inadequate ground insulation. It’s just that I’m always surprised the amount of wool blankets I use don’t do the trick. And the leaves as well if I remember right.

I got family that Ardmore tech savvy , i could probably get one of them to order if anything, thanks man

Great video, it's an inspiration for many ideas, appreciation of nature, pure living and being grateful. May I please know what kind of boots they are:)?

[@OverOnTheWildSide]

Thank you These boots are from C&C Sutlery. They have a website, unfortunately they aren’t a very accurate repro, they’re the wrong style. But they’re relatively inexpensive and mostly give the right look.

[@BarefootViking]

@@OverOnTheWildSide thank you for your knowledge and info. If I can ever carve you something in stone for your show pleaseet me know, I offer it free

[@joshlees8041]

Awesome video I really enjoyed it.

Great, thank you

[@OutlawCamper]

Amazing stuff, as usual. With all our crap going on, your videos are making a world of difference for The Girlfriend and I. Keep up the good work!

[@OverOnTheWildSide]

Glad to hear that Jack. I hope she recovers quickly and recovers well. I expect to get back out camping soon and get more videos out.

[@OutlawCamper]

@@OverOnTheWildSide thank you. We're attempting to get on the same track.

[@gobigrey9352]

Great video. Did boiling that drop cloth tighen up the weave at all?

[@OverOnTheWildSide]

I think it did. It’s hard to tell, I’m wishing I’d measured it before so I could compare it to after.

[@thecraftycrusader3185]

Been wanting to try an A frame for a while

[@_-_-_L_-_-_]

Tried minimalist camping before, woke up covered in bugs and haven't tried since

[@OverOnTheWildSide]

That would be a deterrent. Do you use a hammock normally?

[@_-_-_L_-_-_]

@@OverOnTheWildSide no I dont, does that work better to keep critters off?

[@OverOnTheWildSide]

@@_-_-_L_-_-_ I was just trying to think of why you might’ve had bugs on you when you tried minimal camping vs your norm.

[@_-_-_L_-_-_]

@@OverOnTheWildSide i don't know it mightve just been the area, there was wolf spiders and a bunch of crickets that just wouldn't go away, know any bug deterrent tricks?

[@OverOnTheWildSide]

@@_-_-_L_-_-_ i don’t, I never have a problem with it.

[@moonrunner-01]

Great video as usual! If you don't mind me asking. Where did you get your boots from and what model are they? I'd sure appreciate it.

[@OverOnTheWildSide]

Thank you, I got that pair from C&C Sutlery, their website is easy to find if you google it. They’re not the most historically accurate though, I didn’t know that at the time. A good pair is around $300. Mine are $150 or $160 these days.

[@javiergimenez9621]

Great video!

[@seewaage]

Thanks for the interesting video. Just an idea: what if you got some fur, in particular a bison hide blanket, to keep you warmer at night. I think that would be period correct and might really keep you extremely warm. If I'm not mistaken, isn't that what the Native Americans used when it was cold?

[@OverOnTheWildSide]

Absolutely, as a matter of fact, soon after I announced I’d start using a down sleeping bag and Ridgerest camping pad, a friend pointed out that one buff robe could keep me warm down to some pretty cold temps. So yes, that’s the goal, I’d like to brain tan one or buy a brain tanned one when I can.

[@seewaage]

@@OverOnTheWildSide That is a great idea. Here in Arizona you can get a tag so you harvest it yourself too. But maybe that's not available everywhere. 🙂

[@OverOnTheWildSide]

@@seewaage for a Buffalo? Up here there’s private farms to go to but it’s a few thousand dollars if not more. But yes, that would be the ultimate way to go.

[@seewaage]

@@OverOnTheWildSide the farm might be better bc I just checked and the tag for s bull bison is $5,415 for non-residents and $1,113 for residents. For a cow bison it is cheaper at $3,265 for non resident and $863 for residents

[@OverOnTheWildSide]

@seewaage where do you hunt them down there? On the Rez?

[@aarontasseff8207]

Brother, where did you get your tarp? What size is it. You set-up a very nice tent.

[@OverOnTheWildSide]

That’s a 12x16 drop cloth that I boiled to shrink. It still needs treating to be waterproofed but I’m liking it. Also a grommet tool would put some nice tie downs in.

[@Jaydons-traveling]

Great video definitely never fun when the ponies get loose lol.

[@thescottishstreamerkid1]

Wanna just let u know I love ur vids keep it up and ignore haters.

[@OverOnTheWildSide]

Thank you

A loose horsey😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 glad you got her back man that sounded like a walk from hell lol

Yeah it SUCKED

[@KuranEsintisi-]

Great

[@outdoorvideoswithbrad]

Hey man using rocks is smart, holds it down better, I’ve used rocks and sticks against my tarps before, that’s sucks man chasing your horse lol, “save a horse ride a cowboy”

[@OverOnTheWildSide]

😂

[@74GenX]

What brand are your boots? Where can I get a pair?

[@OverOnTheWildSide]

They’re from C&C Sutlery. They’re not made correctly but they’re priced lower than the good ones.

[@74GenX]

@@OverOnTheWildSide the wide square toe is actually wide and looks like they don't cramp your toes like most so called wide square toe boots. I've been looking for a pair that are actually wide and square without the inward taper in the front.

[@OverOnTheWildSide]

@@74GenX oh ok, well if you google C&C Sutlery you’ll see their website.

[@chrishov8890]

Where are you located.

[@OverOnTheWildSide]

Pacific Northwest

[@ShelterShelter123]

👌👍⚘️عالی

[@jimf1964]

If you lived your whole life like that, you could probably handle just blankets, but few of us do, so get something warmer. I’m sure plenty of people who were able to used stuff like buffalo furs, or other types of pelts.

[@OverOnTheWildSide]

Now I’m taking that as a challenge haha!

[@jimf1964]

@@OverOnTheWildSide It’s tough to do when comfort is just inside that door. And from what I see, youre residence isn’t exactly too far off from what the average person would have had. It’s not like everyone back then lived outside. People that drove cattle would have been pretty dam tough, but most would have had a cabin with a woodfire
