Beautiful Scenery. I love Fridays. ❤️

[@warsurplus]

We are living with the consequences of the age of intellectual laziness and lack of curiosity to learn. It will only get worse as the next more ignorant generation follows with no proper mentoring and guidance.

[@gonagain]

I hadn't thought of that, but it makes sense that the next generation will be even more ignorant.

[@Go4Corvette]

I was at a very clean campsite that I loved. I left for a few days came back and a family was in the same spot so I went down the road and waited for them to leave. The next day I came down the road and it was empty but they had left the fire pit full of trash and dirty baby diapers. I would say they were lucky I didn't get there as they were leaving because they would have picked it all up. People are much nicer when they see you carrying a 12g and a side arm. I'll even supply the trash bags.

[@gonagain]

That had to be very disappointing.

[@Go4Corvette]

@@gonagain Not like it was when I was a kid but you won't see my kids doing this, they know better.

[@tm8747]

hey rick on the websute for the company TEMU, they carry on waist, over shgoulder in single, double, and 3 row for the ar-15 clips (30 rounds) clips. price range is 10- 30 .00 in camo, all colors and either velocur , clips on or belt connection the draw back is the wait , coming from china, about 2 weeks max, ! i buy alot of items on TEMU, fishing, gear, rods, tackle, gun items, bows ,arrows ,and equipment for all at a bargain price, im just passing it on ,

[@gonagain]

Thanks for that tip. I've ordered things direct before and the wait is usually worth it.

[@shirleyhall1924]

Beautiful camp site. We've had some mistakes as far as choosing camp sites. Mostly just looooong gravel roads with pot holes. But We've found some great ones too. We are currently in Montana.

[@rogertemple7193]

There are a lot of great areas for camping especially where you can get peace and quiet but these days they are hard to find but there a lot out there you and Linda have a blessed 4th of July next week Thank You and God Bless You.🇺🇲🏞🏞🇺🇲

thanks, rick n linda.

[@mkkrafts9261]

Beautiful!!

[@hairydogstail]

When I was working on a Forest service road job (called Man trap) up Thompson River back in 1992, we had no out house or facility..We would do the dig a hole and bury thing every evening.. I would use the same hole as a resident black bear would dig it up and consume it like candy..My friend who was a hunter said he was done eating bear meat after that lol.. I carry the same thing when camping, stay safe..

[@carolmaplesden916]

@5:55 thats where you kept your coffee maker 😁

[@gonagain]

Must be!

[@MichaelFowler541]

On the Trowel talk when you started with "What happened . . . . ." - I started laughing my belly off. - Was it in cooler in the rock huts?

[@gonagain]

Yes, it was pleasant inside and I imagine it would also be warm in the colder months once the rocks were heated up a bit.

[@TM-ev2tc]

Could you do a video just for fun driving through the Navajo Nation. I have never seen it, but I have always been curious about it.

[@gonagain]

We've driven through before and it's huge!! But there is no camping allowed in there and that makes it hard to explore during just one day.

[@michaeltichonuk2176]

Pretty area! I forgot the skeeters! Your kinder then I about the nasty a$$ lazy pigs. In my travels and observations the locals are the biggest offenders. Anyways, continue to enjoy your Adventures ands thanks for sharing!

[@akgobears]

I love it when youtubers show camping areas....Am more of a fan of state parks and COE campgrounds though especially COE's cause they're so cheap for all the amenities...Staying for $10-$15 a nite with amenities is right up our alley....We have the America the Beautiful senior pass so everything is half off in those parks....But to be honest here without trying to be a hater, KZbinrs have worn out the southwest with their videos...It seems just about every inch has been covered by folks times ten....I would even much more prefer im sure to your chagrin your home state over the southwest simply because there is so less videos about Montana compared to any southwest state...Have you folks ever considered doing a travel season series about your states state parks or COE parks ???...There are many of both in your state... Just a thought....Travel safe, always stay well....P.S. how come you folks aint traveling with a best fur buddie LOL ???? Think that family member would fit right in with you folks....See, i got plenty of things for you folks to do lol !!!

[@gonagain]

We're usually trying to escape Montana's cold weather and in the summer time the bugs try to carry you off to their nests! Seriously though, we could do more here to show the beauty of this state.

[@akgobears]

@@gonagain I get it about getting away from your state but im being honest here, you wont show anything from Arizona that hasnt been shown a dozen or more times...There are literally a thousand videos by nomads especially of every inch of the state...This sounds mean but i dont mean it to be ...Sort of makes your channel boring if its just another repeat of what everybody else has worn out showing...And i dont really find your channel boring, its just when ""ANYBODY"" these days shows a video of the southwest its like Eh, quick look, move on...

[@darrylk808]

Whose idea was it to go to AZ in the summer?😁 I know AZ has some elevation. And who are you calling old?👴

[@gonagain]

Actually, this wasn't during the summer, the video was taken during May, but as usual, we hit it during a hot streak. I'm old and don't really know how I got this far in life!

[@FalkorsTale]

Today's Rant brought to you by: People without the manners of a cat.

[@dutchmiller7778]

Where in the world did they get wood to burn.

[@gonagain]

That's an interesting observation because it's been determined that the Mesa Verde indians, Hopi and others, left those areas because they simply ran out of firewood.

[@dutchmiller7778]

@@gonagain they burnt it all up!

[@lucus4485]

Some of the younger generation know better and just don't care.

[@doskraut]

A small dab of Vicks VapoRub on your face, arms and the bugs will stay away from you, my mom (1950s) and dad also used a jar with a wick in the lid filled with kerosene to keep the area safe from flying bugs. We still use this now days.

[@Go4Corvette]

Thanks for the info.

[@boscodog4358]

The Vicks Vapor rub works good on chigger bites. It stops them from itching and about two days and they are gone

[@scenicdriveways6708]

Nice video guys, Cliff dwellers lodge is very cool! I think people know they're supposed to bury their excrement, they just don't care. And what's going to happen is the Forest Service will just keep closing off more and more areas to motorized vehicles until there is no place left to go. Nice mag pouch. JT

[@vivianallen9772]

Loved the video! It’s amazing how people trash the land wherever they go! It shouldn’t take a genius to know that body waste should be buried, or carried out. I’m glad you’re talking about it. Maybe some people will listen and change their ways.

[@seymourwrasse3321]

I look forward to seeing you both every Friday. Thank you for all you do!

[@wandacraig8286]

Yeah, I love how some of the younger generation yell at us older folks saying our generation caused all the pollution, but they don't even know how to 💩 in the woods, nor do they understand cloth baby diapers, paper bags vs plastic bags, and on and on. Like you said, common sense which seems to be totally unknown to some. Loved all the red rock and structures! Again using what you had to live a good bit simple life very efficiently. I had never seen this place before. Thanks for taking us along for the ride.😁

[@skylinegtr-gd2lg]

Wonderful scenery! Can do without the mosquito's-n-bugs - - - but, that's all part of the overall fun!

[@bonnieb1590]

They know. They're just being lazy or ignorant .

[@alvisjenkins1305]

That's what I like about by schoolie, no shovel needed for waste as my camper is self contained. It would keep me from camping any site that is construed with paper and such.

[@terrell48]

I like that mag pouch you never know when you might need those accessories, but I might need more then 1 or 2 for different applications

[@edzahn7221]

Interesting video, thanks for the sharing about the AR Clip holder (Just placed my order). Do you ever have problems traveling with the AR's through different states? Take Care

[@gonagain]

No, we never have problems because we avoid those states. A great app that lets you know about legalities is called "CCW".

[@ronvalderrama5765]

The rant is valid.Camping sure has changed. Also, another great video!

[@dennislesh2374]

I can relate to the heat you had down below.......my Dad and I were just east of there in 1962 in the first part of June and it was very hot.

[@jennifert9506]

Right there with you, I could rant for hours. It's to the point where we expect to spend anywhere from 15-30 minutes cleaning up a site when we pull in now. Pack it in Pack it out includes: your garbage, your dogs poop, your poop (pack it or plow it). Pack it in pack it out doesn't mean throwing everything in the fire ring including non-combustibles like cans and bottles. It's lazy and rude. There are countries that can only dream about the amount of and beauty of our publicly owned lands, that some people feel they have the right to trash them is infuriating!

[@applesbighatranch6906]

Stunning views! Too bad about the skeeters up high, there. Neat "satchel"! I have something like that but in black nylon w/ a wider storage pouch for some gonleather, ears, n' stuff. I keep my 5-round Ruger Scout or 5-round Franchi M.A.T.E. Magpul mags in it. It does hold the standard-cap Stoner stuff, too, but I only have one o' them thar corntraptions. I'm mostly a lever action guy.

The stupidity use to astound me but it doesn't anymore. Great video, beautiful. I will never forget the mosquitos in the back country of Yellowstone Nat'l Park, when you are hiking they keep up with you, lol.

[@deniseday8188]

love watching you two! I happen to agree with you, people need to clean up after themselves when camping anywhere! its so easy...Pack it in, Pack it out! No one wants to see your garbage. Safe travels

[@gonagain]

Thank you, Denise! Appreciate hearing from you.

[@tm8747]

for the mosquitos in that area, i think your west of camp verde, ? between now and late summer that area is mosquitos heaven for them , looking for the victims of the forest, ! foir the future rick and linda, carry 2- potted plants in your trailer of CEDARWOODD PLANTS , STUBBIES? once your there large cup of water and watch the mosquitos fly away from your and misses. the scent of cedarwood is the most powerful scent in the forest and the mosquitois, and knats, bugs, even snakes HATES THE SMELL.

[@gonagain]

I'm willing to try that!

[@Permacamper]

I was camping at a very popular camping area on 89A a while back and was also amazed at the amount of toilet paper that was in the shrubbery around the area. So I got a trash bag and started cleaning up and came to an interesting conclusion. There was very little solid waste around and all of these wads of toilet paper hadn't been used for that. It was mostly being left by females after they'd gone #1. Apparently they feel that picking up after themselves is beneath them and I guarantee you could fasten a trowel to every bush within a quarter mile and you'll still find barely used toilet paper everywhere there's a popular place to camp especially if it's near a college town.

[@gonagain]

I think you're right! I noticed the same thing.

[@Steve-Goff]

I’ve never been to Arizona. Would love to spend some time there. The higher elevations with the cooler temperatures, and shade, would be more of my liking. I have a rechargeable Thermacell (EX90) that works really well for fending off mosquitoes

[@CollinsL]

lol, sooo enjoy your videos! Thanks for sharing and may God continue to bless you!

[@CITAP1]

Beautiful area down in the canyon. We drove through on 89A, and the scenery is so amazing. We came across a large herd of big mule deer. The north rim road wouldn't open for another week, so that area is still a bucket list item. That was a very stylish tote bag, I bet it will keep the flour low humidity. 9000 feet, keep breathing deeply. Some folks not experienced with higher altitudes just need to understand, if you're short of breath, breath fast, and deep to reoxygenate. Yeah that's gross about some disbursed campsites, findind used TP starting 20 feet into the woods and brush all around you or tossed into the stream. Worse if your pets find it and bring back to camp 😮 A Five gallon bucket, heavy duty black garbage bag, add kitty litter, lavender scented is popular, do business, finish paperwork, pull out bag of debris, twist and tie, place in garbage like doggie bag or baby disposable diaper, cross finish line as a good citizen. Perhaps you could do a demonstration video Rick. 😮😅😊. Take care, you guys.

[@gonagain]

Thanks, Jeff! I hope we can meet up sometime after you get your camper re-assembled.

[@GraceCook-g1l]

So glad to see one of your videos. Sooo peaceful. Houses in the rocks are amazing. That large one may have been used for community gatherings. Wish the video was longer. You always find such amazing off road places. Stay safe!

[@phyllisbendixen-c7z]

Wow sounds good to us, me and the wife want to camp by you guys, sounds like you all are very secure.....and we agree we noticed all the toilet paper and feces out in AZ, earlier this spring to, very disgusting....and it needs to stop!

[@williamnielsen3947]

i am your age, we were raised on leaving campground cleaner than you found it, my kids follow this, i think we are in a losing thought process these days, or maybe just too many people getting out more now, they also want camp right on top of you forcing you to leave

[@galardmills5306]

Yes, I’ve seen day laborers do that on the job site. Just drop their pants and poop right on the ground. That’s how they did it in the country they came from, so that’s how they do it here. The boss had to introduce them to the portapotti. “Every state is a border state.”

[@mayaflynnster]

I try to remind my young one that the answer is at your finger tips... the phone that you surf so much... Problem is that by the time you have a question, you're out in the woods with no reception, lol. I'm not sure I would think to look up how to poo with no loo, but leaving it in the open seems obviously wrong. Just sayin'.

[@Cargocampman]

I don’t for one second believe that people don’t know how to bury their crap. I do believe that people are lazy about it or they feel like it’s gross or it stinks. Who knows but I believe that they just need to use the bathroom and then they’re like oh welland they’re off on their selfish way. Just like throwing trash out your window as you go down the highway that’s my two cents.

[@bryanschwertner3585]

Ive wondered for years. Are people too stupid or ignorant to know they should bury their human waste? Or do they just not care!? We see it at dispersed camping in the Lincoln National Forest. And have for years. Anyway. Thanks for the video! Take care!

Good point and I'll try to compare that.

[@kimbrandom2789]

I will add to carrying a shovel or trowel, carry doggie poop bags. I always put my TP in the doggie poop bag and carry it out. TP takes too long to break down and animals and elements make it surface.

More folks should do what you do! Thanks, Kim.

Lots of Elk, Deer and Sasquatch
