In this video I head back into the El Paso Mountain range which is located in the northern end of the Mojave desert off highway 14. I will take you along for the adventure as I explore an old post office, many old miners cabins and a half mile long mining tunnel. I will be camping in the Sequoia national forest with Duane from Dusty Road Destinations. Hope you enjoy this video. Make sure to like, comment and subscribe.

I was wondering about your comment before catching it in the video. You're absolutely right. Used those before with a little Petroleum Jelly applied, works great to start a fire.

Man that was a really great trip and that fire was huge!!! I didn’t realize those cabins were over there I’m going to have to check those out! The flow on this video was great and your storytelling is ON POINT!!! 👆🏻

[@jonnytacooutdoors]

Thanks brother

[@christianlucas6553]

It's going to be hard not to jump ahead and watch these new releases, but I've never been one to wait until Christmas morning to find out what Santa brought me 🤷‍♂️ That post office was cool! Looks like the Sears cabin needs a remodel and a sage cleansing! 😂 My grandparents built their first home and purchased it right out of the sears catalog, which is what I initially thought this was 🤔 Jon & Jacs was not bad. I don't know if I'd stay in it, but I agree, it's got the most potential. Dude, that NOVSIGHT 😲 I HAVE TO HAVE ONE OF THOSE!!! Beautiful drone footage as usual at Butterbredt Spring! Those willow trees can mimic the sound of water when the wind blows. Wow! Your truck looks sick! 👌 That Sequoia National Forrest! 😲 Killer camping spot! Send me the recipe for that Ramen, man! It looks delish! Totally digging your channel! It's like my new Yellowstone! 🤘

[@jonnytacooutdoors]

Thanks so much for commenting wish I could somehow give you a top commenter badge. Novsight sells the flashlights I think they’re pretty pricey. But “JonnyTaco” gets you 25% off all their products. Ramen recipe Organic ramen Onions Bell peppers Cilantro Yellow bird sriracha Hoisin sauce

[@christianlucas6553]

​@jonnytacooutdoors I'm getting that flashlight! Thanks for the 25%! And I figured that was Hoisin's sauce, but I just wanted to confirm. 👍 Really enjoying your channel, man!

[@drpayne77]

Those TP rolls looked like maybe a fire starter? Cotton would catch a spark easily.

[@jonnytacooutdoors]

I think that’s what they are for

[@patriotsleepercell4060]

[@jonnytacooutdoors]

Thanks for watching.

[@knubs06]

I appreciate your videos. Fun to watch and offer new adventures! In the future please consider not posting the names of the cabins even if they are on popular trails. All too often they get vandalized or burned. Let the explorers like many of your followers do a bit of exploring to help preserve and respect these historic places. Thank you.

[@jonnytacooutdoors]

Thanks for watching. Consider tuning in this Sunday at 6pm for a brand new video. 👊🏻

3:50ish I stay out of old wooden cabins in the Mojave D. too scared of Hanta virus.

[@jonnytacooutdoors]

Tell me more!

[@user-hw6hb4rk9t]

The small mice in this desert can have Hanta Virus, which they apparently spray in their urine. I am told by volunteers that when the BLM cleans up old cabins, they wear "space suits" with respirators, so they can spray bleach water everywhere to kill the virus. Old mines and old cabins, I stay out of. I live just North of the El Pasos, which has a little chukkar hunting. @@jonnytacooutdoors

[@jonnytacooutdoors]

Hey thanks so much. Glad you found the channel. It’s made by expedition essentials and it’s called a 3TPAM.

[@davidr.1517]

Got it. Thanks. Keep up the good work. Your channel will grow.

[@HuskyMike]

Great stuff, JT. Loving these last bunch of videos. Considering the production value, locations, information and drone footage, I'm really surprised you don't have more subscribers. Only thing I'd change is to make sure to look at the camera during recording. (example in this video when you were at the spring). I suppose that's easy for me to say since I'm not the one recording myself. ha ha. All the best.

@@HuskyMike never say never. I never thought I’d own a four wheel drive. I actually started backpacking and camping as well.
