Camping And Exploring Acklin Canyon, NV

We were running from a storm and seeking shelter when we found this beautiful camping spot on public land in southern Nevada. We got the metal detector out to search for gold and explored up a narrow ravine. Video was made during May of 2021.

Getting out on the road is what Linda and I love to do with our converted cargo trailer camper. We're part time nomads and the nomadic lifestyle suits us to a Tee. Whether your RV is a camper van, camp trailer, travel trailer, motorhome or just a car and a tent, there's going to be something interesting for you in the videos we produce. Back roads and overlanding are part of what we do while exploring the western states for beautiful, peaceful and sometimes remote places to camp on BLM and National Forest land (public land). Taking care of ourselves as much as possible and doing our own repairs is a must because we travel on a fixed income and a limited budget. If your into being off-grid and boondocking, or doing dispersed camping whenever possible then you'll appreciate the discussions on batteries, solar panels and solar chargers or power stations and 12v refrigeration. Come on along, we're happy to have your company!

It's not illegal to refill your own 1lb. propane bottles and that's why you can purchase the adapter at most Walmarts and on Amazon, but it's technically illegal to transport a refilled container "interstate". This seems to refer to "commerce", or commercial activity, but if your choose to refill your own bottles you need to take this into account.

[@ericklarson9058]

Flame King sells a 1-lbs. propane cylinder that’s specifically designed and approved for refilling. They have a bleed valve that opens and closes with a supplied Allen wrench. While the Coleman cylinders can be refilled, it’s trickier to bleed the air out. I’ve refilled both and find the Flame King to be superior as well as safer.

[@keith9875]

I have also gone with the Flame King refillable bottles. They work great and there are no leaks.

[@badgerpa9]

"How come I am carrying everything?" You guys have a wonderful comedy about your comments. The pinstripes are a badge of honor on your beautiful Yukon. Stay safe and healthy.

I noticed the way You parked Your Car and trailer, where if a hard rain did come Water would run around You. Great idea. One of these day's maybe You could show Us Your method of refilling Your small Propane Bottle's. I would trust Your expertise, some people I don't. Stay safe.

My friend that is a beautiful spot and I bet there is gold around there. You two make my day and I really enjoyed another great video from you. You find what you seek and I bet a gold nugget is around the corner waiting for you or Linda to dig it up. Carry on my friends and always see what is around the next corner. Take care and stay safe.

A little pin striping not a problem, it’ll buff out 😁. Was worried a little there, Linda didn’t show up until more than half way through the video 🤷🏼‍♂️. Enjoyed your excursion, such beautiful scenery and when you caught the bird singing 🙋🏼

Yes, thank you!

[@billthompson5644]

I just thought I would mention this, please don't forget to change the fluid in your transfer case and your front and rear axle. Also I ran tire shops for quite a while and I thought I would mention safety seal plugs are absolutely great. Whenever I got a flat (which wasn't very often) I used to keep them at my house and in my tire shop of course.

[@Blackopsmechanic338]

Great advice, I would also add checking the air filter often, they travel in a dusty environment. Also, keep the throttle body and air-flow sensor clean. Peace

[@billthompson5644]

@@Blackopsmechanic338 you know one thing that I ran into quite a bit, People's Front End was shaking and then go to the Crooked tire shops and they charged them for a rebalance when all it was... snow packed in the behind the wheel.

[@lynneallan8637]

Since we found you two we are playing catch up with your adventures. Again Gary is retired geologist and I thought we had covered a lot of our state. Never thought as we traveled on those brush covered roads as pin striping on our vehicle. Thank you again for the adventures.

[@gonagain]

We put a lot if miles on the trailer and it's holding up well.

[@MongoMike55]

Yea !!! You guys are Gone Again , love watching your travels.

[@tm8747]

for the folks on site when purchasing a metal detector, if yuor into precious metal remmeber the hz on the metal detectors should be around 7 to 20 hz, above that its great for gold, mine is a kruzer gold metal, 75 hz signal, made for gold and everything else, . also learn to do a bounce test before using your detector, bounce the detector up and down several things to connect with the ground surface, it helps with depth and sound response. . hey rick that bottom of the bottle that linda found it from an old clorex or gallo wine bottle. they were that thick back in the day, because the glasses wasnt tempered. happy hunting

[@gonagain]

That explains why old glass bottles were so thick! Thanks.

[@beadtrapper8342]

We like metal detecting also and of course just getting outdoors. Enjoy your videos.

[@robertwylie5567]

Your math is pretty spot on! Propane in N. East Texas is 2.99 a gallon at moment. With the percentage of fill a place is allowed to fill your 20 pound propane tank to, i find I get about 17 One pound green tank refills from the 20 pounder.

Thanks for watching our adventure from East Tennesse. Maybe one day we'll make out that-a-way.

[@rosemiller646]

Metal detecting does sound like an affordable & interesting hobby that, like you say, has the added benefit of getting you outside & walking. Down here in Florida, a lot of people use them on the beaches and can find a lot of valuable items that get lost in the sand. Happy hunting!

[@gonagain]

It would be fun to metal detect on a busy beach, for the beach fun and metal detecting fun.

[@rosemiller646]

@@gonagain Yes, except for doing it on very hot & humid days, which we get a lot of here! There’s no shade on the beach, either; plus you wouldn’t want to be out there when the summer thunderstorms roll in, especially with a metal detector in hand! ⛈ ⚡️

Flame King refillable canisters are great. Comes with a canister a stand for your 20 pound tank and a fill valve. It fills it all the way and you don’t have to cool off the canister. Just saying it’s an option for about $25 a couple years ago. Thank you for the video. Very calming 😊

[@tm8747]

when filling up the little propane containersit best to have a scale, the container is empty weight is about 12-14 oz. so you want to fill only 1 #, into it. . place the empty container into a refer or ice box for about 2 hrs. remove it and start filling the container, some say to have the bigger tank upside down, i prefer standing up the only time to fill upside down on the big tank is when its running low itself. tap the bleeder several times to release air pressure from the small tank. then fill it again. please folks remember when filling the 20 gal tank PLEASE OPEN THE BLEEDER VALVE UNTIL IT BEGINS TO SPIT A FULL STREAM OF PROPANE THEN CLOSED IT. MOST PLACES LIKE COSTCO AND UHAUL , LEAVE THE VALVE CLOSED THATS WRONG TO DO. ,IF THEY CLOSE THE VALVE AFTER YOU OPENED IT DONT PAY FOR IT. , REPORT THEM TO THE BBB, OR THE MGR OF COSTCO OR UHAUL FOR NOT DOING IT RIGHT. YOUR THEN GETTING 80 PERCENT AIR AND 20 PERCENT PROPANE, . IT TAKES AIR TO PUSH PROPANE INTO THE TANK
