I think Rob is on the other side of that mountain...lol

“Man, that looks like some delicious beef” 😂👍🏻🇺🇸

[@hookedonprjonrojas2314]

You are blessed my brother. Keep up the great work. Greetings from Puerto rico

[@Fox1nDen]

Roomy tent! Yes more liquids and some ginger root if you can get some. Large cot! Sweet dreams while you are enjoying Colorado!

[@michaeljones-fg1dk]

To bad there is not o love button for this!!! This is awesome! Did it 1 time about 20 years ago in Colorado. This so makes me wanna do it again! Thanks brother!

[@jacksonn3289]

Glad to see you didn't start off doing a bunch of hard scouting and hunting on the first day. It's really important to acclimate yourself to the height so your body can make more hemoglobin and you won't get altitude sickness. Good luck!

[@aprildawn2052]

Welcome to Colorado! Hope you really enjoy your time here. We just got back home from a trip to your neck of the woods! I’m sure it’s a bit chilly here but it beats the 100 degree temps in Texas! Definitely do not keep your cooler in the tent! The bears totaled my sisters SUV for a tiny bag of lucky charms!! 😬 They are quick and efficient.

[@Just.tfo22]

AprilDawn where is this at!

[@djwendro]

In the tent it looks like the window is a green screen with how beautiful it looks outside. Have fun!

[@joeycooper860]

Wow L.F.G. the land y'all are on doesn't get more pristine and beautiful than that. America! Now go and get you a big ol'e elk.

[@michaelcook768]

What a spot to camp in....absolutely stunning. It would be a great place just to camp outside of hunting season..... A trailer like Rob has, some fishy poles, an anti bear ANTI kitty equipment. Bring some type of 4 wheeler to bring back lotsya fire wood. Wonder if there is an insulated bucket...could be filled with hot coals, and sit inside a tent or trailer. LFG...great video!

[@hapnewsom9217]

BIG distinction between National PARK and National FOREST...no hunting in Nat Parks. Plenty opportunities in National Forests!

[@jpoconnell8]

Hap Newsom Exactly!

[@HookandArrow]

He’s hunting a national forest guys. He just said it wrong lol

[@jpoconnell8]

Hook and Arrow oh what’s up dude I like your vids 👍

[@NurseMickiLea]

The reflection of the clouds in the truck window Epic and classic LFG!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@ryanishkonk3446]

I love how passionate you are about the outdoors. The wilderness and waters. You are an inspiration to get my booty out and get some good times in nature in. Thanks brother

[@brandonshell2526]

You and lunkers should develop a bag like y’alls money bag, but use it to pack gear and items for a ruck sack for us folks in the military. Make layouts a lot easier!!

[@mrfirstime5750]

I followed both you and lunkers I really like your style of your hunt you show the area around you and present mother nature in her all her beauty that is very inspiring.

[@JesusIzAPunkRocker]

"This resets you". I've been up 4 times this year when its hike-able. I aim for more than 10. I was *dragging* recently, burdened by all sorts of personal stuff. I made it up two weeks ago, You nailed the cleansing feeling it has on the mind/soul. I've got to fit some trips in before the snow. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@Fox1nDen]

people I love very much live in Colorado. Enjoy!

[@happy_guy8273]

When he was sitting on the cot the view behind him in the window almost to look like a hanging picture of the outdoors so beautiful I love going out hunting in the middle of nowhere with beautiful views like that keep up the great work

[@anahudon2109]

Dude, between this channel and the lake life channel y'all are my happy place! I love your family and all your videos. Keep living the dream my friends!

[@breeze8557]

Dude I can’t even watch this it makes me miss Colorado too much

[@SRT480HP]

Eric Myers i still live here in Colorado and it makes me miss it. I just don’t get to climb, ride the mtb, kayak as much as I wish I could.

[@notyrmom5698]

Same here bro. Where you at now?

[@Bldubb3375]

That is the greatest view of nature! Awesome base camp area!

[@evanslaton5588]

Looking forward to this series. I recently took a trip across I-70 through the Rockies, and Colorado was absolutely gorgeous. I would have loved to dangle those mountain rivers. Good luck!

[@WavesTrails]

Great view man! When I'm up high and getting light headed, slowing down and taking deep breadths helps alot until you're acclimated.

[@carjax777]

As someone from Oregon your amazement is funny to me but it's cool to get an outsider's look into the wests mountains and national parks

[@calebblaser]

I’m so glad you could do this trip. Hope it was awesome!

[@boyd2457]

I’ve backpacked around that area and there is truly nothing else like it in the country. 10/10 for sure

[@lcd36]

This is an awesome video and I thank you for bringing us with. I used to do these things with my dad and I haven’t since he has passed. This has inspired me to camp this way again, despite it being without his psychical self here. I appreciate you giving me the inspiration again!

[@darrenangle4493]

This was an awesome video Justin. I really envy the view you have right there. Looks like something off a Remington calendar. Best wishes on your adventure.

[@billwhite7099]

I'm happy every time the crate is on display, since I sat through that whole video of making the crate. You know you're a fan when you stick it out for a whopping 17 minutes of a dude building a box. Looking forward to this adventure.

[@allingoodfun8531]

Was just in glacier national park in Montana and the beauty was literally breathtaking. And I’ve never felt that before. You have to get out there

[@samuelsharkey4305]

Dude I'm so jealous. That look absolutely perfect.. Have the time of your life.

[@undergroundchuckeytennesse2526]

Whooooooooooooooohooooooooo! Been waiting for this series to get started.....AWESOME LFG!!!!

[@victormendoza4552]

Wow, that’s amazing, I’d love to live up there!! I love the mountains and nature!!

[@the_anxiousphotographer]

Thanks for coming to our beautiful state to film some videos and show off the Colorado wilderness.

[@cboutdoors9120]

Welcome to my backyard! Colorado has some of the most spectacular views and wildlife around. I hope your trip is a successful one and that you enjoy it here! Also hope the Family gets to come back sometime to see it with you. Love the vids and keep em coming!

[@davidthomas5482]

I live here in Colorado and I would like to strongly advise against keeping your coolers and food in the tent with you. Bears will smell it from a mile away. Keep in locked up in the back of your truck.

[@bear2747]

shush it, you! im tryna eat. 🌲👀🌲

[@jnava121]

protip: put your trash in nearby campers area so they avoid you

[@HeadHoncho727]

Wtf. Thats the last thing you do. Yea sure. When you go to sleep just get your tent raided by a bear. Nobody listen to this fool. Thats how you get mauled in your sleep

[@jeffmorris8768]

How could you possibly know anything about the outdoor,s real head honcho,when all you do is play video game,s from dusk till dawn every day of your life.

[@rockytopwrangler2069]

[@zaceribarkhouse3592]

I love how ur not just all about the hunting. But are loving the camping part of the trip too

Can’t wait to see the action unfold. Keep up the amazing vlogs LFG

So pumped for this series

Welcome Justin ,, your intro said it all,, can't wait for the day you return for a stay with Stephanie and Emmy....It's meant to be shared with the one's close to you....

[@MaNiMaBaLLa]

Can't even imagine how peaceful that trip was. Love it bro. Good vid

[@Bizznichw]

Super excited for this series!

[@stefanfolk1506]

Sick dude, I took a solo road trip from Missouri out to Wyoming/Yellowstone/Montana this summer in between high school and college. This brings me back to those feelings of freedom. I'm lucky though because now I get to go to college here in Colorado. Can't believe this stuff is in my backyard now.

[@redeyeblazin256]

I’d love to see you and the boys do this for a month man that’d be a hell of an experience

[@ashy1423]

WOW! What a beautiful place. Hope you have a great time and a successful hunt, I’m looking forward to this series. Stay well stay safe and God Bless. Ash 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

40's is t shirt weather but I live at 5000" in WY. Not laughing because when I go to Texas in the winter months I just about melt LOL. Lots of room in the tent is a good thing. Well done LFG!

I’m jealous!!! Love the adventures u get to go on. Shoot straight and be safe

Something you might look into is getting a sven saw. It folds up super small but it really does a good job. I take it every time I go camping.

[@Santiago-vy8fy]

Gotta love Colorado

[@javiergarcia7127]

First time watching your videos and I can’t wait for this series

True, but as that kid said....”mountain lions cheat”

This is my favorite set of videos I think you've done. I want to do this so bad.

I started camping and hunting with my dad when I was very young in central Idaho. Have done so all my life. I am 68 now and still gettin' it done. Glad you found this great adventure LFG. BTW I ain't rich. I am a union carpenter who is retiring in 36 weeks.

Love getting out into nature.

[@lucashall7193]

I have that same tent, I LOVE it!! I've used it all the way from winter in the mountains up to 100 degrees in the summer desert. Super comfortable for two but can easily sleep 4-5 on cots.

Holy crap Lake Fork Guy I hope your alright since I just got seeing the baseball size Hail in Colorado. I was on oppenheimer ranch and he should the Hail. I think about the free roaming cows you saw, like you said good looking beef. Might be laying on the ground.
