DMV: Exploring the Bighorn National Forest

[@chrisscott1547]

Unlike some things you eat, that looks pretty good!

[@seth3054]

That top ramen and steak looks killer

[@bendaves77]

Joe since you already carry tarps and para cord or small rope to hang the tarp go and buy yourself a double wide nylon camping hammock with tree straps.. you will sleep better than ever or any bed you've slept in.. I've got a fused lower back and have been sleeping in one in my basement for 3 years now.. it's like heaven and they take up very little room. I've got a camping one that has a zip on bug net across the top of the whole hammock

[@garysbackroadadventures]

Great video. Sometimes it's great to revisit past camps sites. After months and years on the road they kind of start to fade out or start to run together. The day I left Camp 5, I rode thru almost 6 hours of heavy rain. It whooped me bad. I'll send you a couple of pics from Devil's Tower since you didn't get as close. Thank goodness for Sr. Life Time NP passes.

[@darkhelmetsplane]

I also hit some serious thunder storms riding through Wyoming after I left. Wyoming weather can be nuts.

[@bendaves77]

I grew up and spent the last 20 years trucking all over the place and now that I've walked away from it the being alone is the one thing that I miss.. Dick Proenecke has a great story and you can still visit his cabin.. my goal was to enjoy my 20s and work my butt off until about 30 to 35 and then go live out on s piece of property in a cabin or home that I built however I didn't get to do it because I met a wonderful woman and immediately had 2 kids but the dream hasn't died just rescheduled until I get these youngsters raised.. youngest will be 18 in 5 years and my son sounds like he's interested in helping me and staying until he finds his calling

[@bendaves77]

Check out Stan Zurays story about moving to the woods of Alaska on KZbin. He was born and raised in Boston but had a hunger for the mountain man aka Jeremiah Johnson lifestyle.. that's a great movie..he talks about times being tuff and doing whatever to eat along with going a long time with just his wife

[@dirtymotorcyclevagabond]

Will do, sounds awesome!

[@VagaBumAdventures]

Ten sleep canyon is one of the best rides anywhere. 🤙

[@TexRider]

steak and noodles looked great. I would love to ride the area. 3 more years then I am retired. I am preping already and bought a small motorcycle tent trailer. Take care

[@mikerapp8163]

Joe, you can get yourself a cedar shingle. They’re cheap and you can put your steak on it. Light and packs good. Will get seasoned as you use it.

[@darkhelmetsplane]

It was really cool getting to know both Chris and Eric while I was there. I miss the Camp 5 group, even Chris! All of you became my brothers. I wish I could have stayed longer... maybe next year. Thanks for sharing your journey with everyone, Joe. Bighorn National Forest looks amazing. Keep up the good work and tell Scotty to "be careful" for me.

You bet!

I appreciate your minimalist camping lifestyle.

Best place to stay in Buffalo is the Big Horn Motel.... say hi to Trudy for me if you go. She's awesome.

[@dirtymotorcyclevagabond]

Next time!

[@buzzhead817]

Nice place

[@montanabackroads2lanetours438]

Joe you are in my front yard . I live in Billings Mt. My back yard is beartooth pass and chief Joseph highway…… Montana backroads 2Lane tours ….. Steve

[@mikerapp8163]

Really good video Joe. I think you would have gotten your $20 worth by going into Devils Tower. It’s really funky with these pentagon iron, granite columns. Natives call it Bear Butte. Go while you can still hike around it. Sometimes there are climbers on it. Good advice about staying busy, no matter where you are or what stage of life. A man needs a code and purpose to live by. All the best and ride safe Joe.

[@dirtymotorcyclevagabond]

I'm gonna sign up for that parks pass next year. Think that gets me into Devil's Tower. Thanks for the kind words 😎

[@woodsontr]

I looked his book up. They made a movie about it to! Thanks

[@tpresten]

Great footage as usual and the steak dinner made me hungry of course. I am also a big fan of Dick Proeneke and I have 4 dvds of footage that he took while he lived in Alaska. We should ride up and visit his cabin next summer as it is still there and you can fly in to see it.

[@dirtymotorcyclevagabond]

DEAL! ✌🏻💀

[@billdumanch6237]

Hwy 16 is how we ran around all the weigh stations...and IS beautiful

[@benbirkigt493]

Great video I sure wish I could live that lifestyle

[@stokeandspoke1177]

Thanks for watching bro!

[@johnnygray3926]

Awesome content!!!

[@dirtymotorcyclevagabond]

Glad you think so!

[@theadventurousrider]

I was looking up some stuff about Alaska a year ago and rain into the story about Dick Proenneke . Was kind of intrigued about it. There are a few videos on youtube of a reporter that went up there and he talked to him. Was crazy on the videos how he was able to interact with the birds that lived around there like he did.

[@dirtymotorcyclevagabond]

He was a character for sure!

[@stephenpitner7369]

Dick Proenneke was as talented as he was a hardcore woodsman. Great video, safe travels brother.

[@benderbender1233]

he was truely AWESOME!! 🤘🙂

[@dirtymotorcyclevagabond]

Yes he WAS!

[@doughty_racing]

Damn I can see me kicked back in my camp chair with a cup of coffee and a good cigar while soaking in those Montana views.

[@dirtymotorcyclevagabond]

I love this state!! ✌🏻💀

Great video!!! Thanks for the heads up on the book of One Man's Wilderness!! I have a home in Worland ( other side of the mountain from Buffalo) and you're welcome to spend time at my place if you make your way back to Wyoming. I ride a 02' KLR and a Super Tenere. Tons of places to explore.

Pretty nice road, how are you liking the new bike, but gas mileage is pretty outstanding, will travel well Joe, Godspeed

[@dirtymotorcyclevagabond]

All around, it's a great bike. Not super powerful, but does a lot of things well, especially the mpg!

You got a link for that book? I like that sort of read. 🙂

[@dirtymotorcyclevagabond]

Should be able to find it just about anywhere. One Man’s Wilderness. Awesome read!

[@christophermartin9717]

Joe. You’re so close to Beartooth. It’s a must man. I released my brothers ashes up there man

[@dirtymotorcyclevagabond]

Stay tuned 😎

[@christophermartin9717]

Peace brother. Can’t wait

[@donf1526]

Going in, paying the $20 just to be able to walk around the whole thing (paved) is worth the money for sure.

[@dirtymotorcyclevagabond]

Definitely going back!

[@journeyofjerry820]

great video Joe. Keep up the great work.

[@dirtymotorcyclevagabond]

Will do 😎

[@gregoryaclarksr5545]

Hey Joe as always I enjoy your videos but I was just curious have you had any encounters with wildlife on some of your journeys

[@dirtymotorcyclevagabond]

Nothing too serious, but I've seen lots of bears, been stalked breifly by what I suspect was a jaguar in Guatelamala... but the thing that freaks me out the most is out of control dogs, especially once the guard instinct kicks in, they can be pretty vicious.

[@gregoryaclarksr5545]

@@dirtymotorcyclevagabond cool Joe thanks for taking the time to reply keep that pepper spray handy

[@rickseibel5904]

How are you finding your Honda NC? Meeting your needs such as fuel economy, reliability and overall suitability for the type of riding you do?

[@dirtymotorcyclevagabond]

It's doing great, man! Of course, there's no such thing as a perfect bike, I'm enjoying the versatility. Will need a skid plate soon, as I've already had a couple sketchy encounters with rocks. Miss the power of the ST1300, and the dual disc brakes, but couldn't be more pleased with the NC.

[@rickseibel5904]

@@dirtymotorcyclevagabond Appreciate your reply. I just acquired a 2019 model and so far, found it a great choice for me at 76 years old. Loved my previous bike, the Africa Twin but found it got a bit to heavy.

[@TheSeoras]

At times do you miss the power and stability of the pan?

[@dirtymotorcyclevagabond]

Of course! That was nice, but like everything, there's a trade off. What I traded in power/ performance, I made up for in off road capability, and it's been a blast getting on the dirt.

[@edwardpotter9460]

Great video, good to see you doing well... I was wondering how far were you from a town when you camped&cooked the Steak &noodles which made me hungry Lol.

Ol Scotty better settle down with Veta .. she seems like a great person and he's going to need someone around to grow old with and who else is he gonna find to put up with his crap.. lol.. he can live with her and write that biography we've all been asking for and we'll be able to come visit him and setup camp at his place.. hahahaha

I made so many kick stand pucks at camp 5 I would have made you a good buddy deal but whatever 😂

[@dirtymotorcyclevagabond]

Lmao

[@joeharley87]

Have you ever had any trouble with animals, if so how did you handle it. Stay safe.

[@dirtymotorcyclevagabond]

A lot lol. I’ve come pretty close to black bears about 7-8 times, mostly in my home state of VA. Everytime, I’ve just backed away slowly and avoided confrontation. The worst thing is when you get around wild dogs, they’re a lot more confrontational. In those cases you have to stand your ground and act loud and crazy. The jaguar that came around my camp in Guatemala… I got no answer for lol. Seems predatory cats can do whatever they like lol. Might be best to pray in that situation. Luckily I had pepper spray and a machete

[@whatyoumakeofit6635]

​@@dirtymotorcyclevagabond dang man. I never really considered that part of being on the road. I've dealt with wild dogs many times, not something I'm fo d of.......not at all. I couldn't aging dealing g with bears and jaguars. you are a brave man Joe. thanks for the videos

That steak would have been better sitting on one of those rocks. Using the packaging is just silly when you have all of those rocks there. Not just because of the sanitation issue, but also putting hot meat on that shitty styrofoam. That's got to be toxic as hell.

[@dirtymotorcyclevagabond]

Couple issues with that. Though I considered it, a) it would’ve leaked juice all over the place in bear country and b) everything out there is covered in a fine dust of dried cow/ buffalo crap.

[@Jason-cm6uh]

@@dirtymotorcyclevagabond Your cooking utencil would attract bears more. Cooking puts the smell up in the air and carries it wherever the wind blows. If you clean with water you brought, then the smell is on the ground. A river cleaning is best. If you have water, clean the rock. Be safe hombre!

You said your bike has low clearance. I wonder if you could put taller rear shocks and fork tube extensions wouldn't be an inexpensive remedy for you 🤔. Love the video 😉

That’s a consideration as well… not to mention the stock springs are quite soft. Thanks for watching!!
