ATV Camping New Mexico Wilderness: Mountain Exploration and Cooking Wild Duck

[@tkoutdoors17]

Heck yeah, the Man is back! Thanks for takin us along on your camping/hunting trip! I really need to get up to the mountains and camp for myself. Hopefully next camp trip you'll have a nice juicy turkey leg in each hand! Good luck on your hunt!

[@ManzanoManATVAdventures]

Unfortunately no turkey was taking this year. But I had fun getting out there to go look for them. That would have been sweet to have one to cook up. I will be out again soon enough. I don't anticipate any blockage to getting out into wild and filming. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@MrSydbob]

I just discovered this video, and I enjoyed it a great deal. I have been up on Withington on many trips hunting turkey and deer. Way back when deer tags were still over the counter. I know the road you were on and even think I know your campsite spot. Very cool place. The trails are not crowded there like they are on some mountains. I summer in Red River, NM where ORV's dominate the landscape. Down where you were riding a man can really find his own space. I look forward to watching more of your New Mexico high country videos. After 40 years of back country hunting, I know many of the hidden corners, but there's always a few more to discover. Thanks for spurring the memories!

[@ManzanoManATVAdventures]

This was my second time visiting the range and I really enjoyed the country and wildlife I ran across. I can imagine hunting was great and probably still is considering what I saw on my 1st trip up toward grassy lookout. I like that it is a more secluded area giving you lots of space between others who may be up there. Thanks for watching and your comment.

[@TheSouthwestBackpacker]

2 Thumbs Up! 👍👍 The San Mateo Mtns are awesome! It has a remote feel to it. Lincoln Natl Forest is awesome too! You have to check out the Guadulupe Mtns in Lincoln. I saw the biggest bull elk I've ever seen down there.

[@ManzanoManATVAdventures]

Man were the San Mateo's awesome! I have never been to the other forest districts to camp or explore. I will have to get out there and go do it. I think I recall seeing your video in the Guadalupe Mtns when that Bull Elk was on the road. That was a nice place for sure! Thanks brother.

[@ratrivervintage6306]

Awesome video! Was very happy to get the notification! Thanks for sharing, beautiful country there for sure!

[@ManzanoManATVAdventures]

Thanks for your support and hanging around until I was able to get a new video up. It will not be long before I get out. I plan on going somewhere within a few weeks. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Thanks man. Of course summer is upon us, but I do have plans to make some winter trips happen this year. I love cold winter camping!

[@normsatv]

Look like awesome ride & great place to camp cool got see some turkeys also some really cool drone footage .

[@ManzanoManATVAdventures]

Thanks for watching, my friend. We have some great drone opportunities in the outdoors in New Mexico. I love the perspective it gives in videos.

[@SOS_ADVENTURES]

Man you haven’t missed a beat brother! Another great video with amazing views. Sure glad to see you back in action! Thanks for bringing us along.

[@ManzanoManATVAdventures]

Thanks for hanging out and your support brother. I was a bit nervous filming because it had been a while, so I wasn't sure what to expect from the end result haha. i will be out within the next few weeks on a new adventure. Have a great weekend!

[@SOS_ADVENTURES]

@@ManzanoManATVAdventures That’s funny because as I was watching I was thinking, “Man his videos have gotten better!” Not blowin’ smoke either. The drone footage, the editing, the content; all great work. Of course the mountain scenery doesn’t hurt, lol. Appreciate all your effort!

[@jodycrews1479]

Welcome back Ruben! Great video with breathtaking views! Thanks for taking me along on your adventure. I'm looking forward to the next one.

[@ManzanoManATVAdventures]

Thanks for watching! I am glad you enjoyed the video, my friend. I really enjoyed the views on this trip as well. Everywhere I turned, there were just endless views of the region i was in. It will be real soon that I get out on a new trip.

[@grousehunter67]

Great video good to see ya back Ruben

[@ManzanoManATVAdventures]

Thanks for watching my friend. Have a nice weekend.

[@FullsendOffroad]

Glad to be back. Looks like a great adventure! Never knew that New Mexico out of all places had so much to see!

[@ManzanoManATVAdventures]

Thanks man! New Mexico of often underrated when it comes to the outdoors. What most New Mexicans love about it is we rarely see competition to find places to explore and go camping. I will have to admit, when you drive our primary freeways it looks bland and unattractive until you get into these places. Thanks for watching!

[@FullsendOffroad]

@@ManzanoManATVAdventures absolutely. I achieved visiting all 48 states by age 14 and New Mexico never was too interesting. Last year I visited Colorado for the 3rd time. I love it but it's just a little bit overrated. Places that no one knows about, like Idaho, are more fun.

[@brianhammond81]

Another amazing video man can’t wait for your next adventure

[@ManzanoManATVAdventures]

Thanks man! I will be out again within a few weeks to get another video out. Thanks for watching buddy!

[@Snarge22]

Ruben, .....FANTASTIC VIDEO !!!!!!!!! You really do a good job of recording and editing your videos. You are so pleasant to follow with your aerial footage, helmet footage, and camping setup. It certainly inspires some of us to go camping with our ATVs. :-) I imagine it's been a challenge for you to get out what with working your job, and putting time with you wife and kids, so it's no surprise to me you haven't been putting out frequent videos. One thing for sure, the quality of your videos are very high. I was able to go on a few nice rides earlier in May, but then finally had my right shoulder replacement surgery I've been putting off for years. So that means I won't be on my Outlander till this fall (I think). I did install a Gold Finger left hand finger throttle so that when I do get back on my ATV I don't have to be fully dedicated to right hand (shoulder) riding all the time. Anyway Ruben, I really appreciate your videos and the effort you put into them. I hope your next ATV riding, camping, (and maybe hunting), adventure is an even better experience for you.

[@ManzanoManATVAdventures]

I am glad you enjoy the different video perspectives I put into these videos. It's always a thought within me that those who watch these videos are inspired to go and try something new in the outdoors. I can remember my first ATV trip and what I had at the time. The last handful of months were busy with my boy beginning school, baseball, and the extra activities that take place as a working father and husband. My wife is always encouraging me to get out there and explore. I love that she does. Man, what a bummer to hear! I hope you heal well, and it will not be long before you are back out riding and enjoying the outdoors. I have never heard of a gold finger. I will have to look it up to see what it is. I appreciate your support and comments. I will be out camping on the ATV soon, like within the next few weeks. Take care man and I will see you in the next video I make.

[@atvcampingadventures1728]

Hi mate great to see you back 🤙 every time I watch your videos I’m just amazed at the beauty of the mountains, it is one place I would love to go and visit and too bad about not getting a turkey 🦃 but has we know that’s hunting. Thanks for taking us along cheers 👍

Thanks for watching my friend. I am glad you enjoyed the video.

Hey buddy!, Sure was good to see you out there doing some camping again. Man those views are awesome up there on the mountain. Yeah, I bet with the wind blowing hard to get a good nights sleep. Excellent video buddy. Nice job putting it together! Thanks for taking us along.

[@ManzanoManATVAdventures]

Hey KC! I know it comes with the territory of tent camping, but I don't think it is something you can ever get used to sleeping in a tent. The wind has a way of making things a challenge when it blows hard enough. Glad you enjoyed the views! Have a great weekend!

[@randy1203]

That's so cool you remembered you had a turkey tag and all of a sudden you seen turkeys... I work at Lowe's in Los Lunas and have seen you a few times. Next time I'll say hi.

[@ManzanoManATVAdventures]

That was a cool coincidence to talk of them and then see them at the same time. It is always wise to get a license for whatever is in hunting season, just in case you come across paths with it. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to take one this year, but getting out there is what is important, along with just having fun. Next time you do see me, please come by and say hi. I always have stickers in my truck and I would love to give you a few. Enjoy your weekend.

[@stephencostello1483]

It’s been a while Ruben it’s been a while. But nice come back I’m half way through your video. I’m sure I’ll edit it for more comments.🤙!

[@ManzanoManATVAdventures]

Thanks my friend. I am glad you enjoyed it and I appreciate you hanging around until I got back out there.

[@stephencostello1483]

You know you got a great look on this come back. I personally like the new look. Atving / Hunting / Camping. The new spin is super cool. But I’ll admit it was the riding that had my interest. In the beginning. Something else has always bug me was your caffeine intake. I may be wrong, but when you begin pouring that bag of coffee in that paper spout. I think to myself wow that’s a lot of coffee for one cup. That’s gotta be a caffeine hi. All joking aside. You look like you’re starting to take good care of yourself to. Well that’s about all the editing I’m going to do now. Besides, it’s hard to improve on good.

I was eye balling that area as well. Looking at maps, there appears to be a trail down below that travels up a canyon and then links around to another trail that takes you up to the top of where I was, but with a whole new perspective and scenery. There are lots of trails in and around this section of the country to explore. Thanks for watching man!

[@OneMansOdyssey]

Beautiful trip! Glad to see you back on KZbin! I have really been itching to get to the San Mateos. I think I’m going to try and head there this fall. There are a ton of places in southwestern NM that would be very interesting to explore on an ATV. Mangas Mountain, Burma Road/Garcia Falls, Eagle Peak, etc. No shortage of exploring in that beautiful and remote country! Loved the video! Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you’re looking for some company on an adventure this year 🤙🏻

[@ManzanoManATVAdventures]

The San Mateos is an awesome range! It is so unique, with so many good picture and video opportunities. I do plan on exploring the SW more over the fall and possibly into the winter months to check out some of the areas you mentioned. I have looked into Burma Road and Garcia Falls. I have not come across Eagle Peak yet. I would love to do an overnight trip and have a good cookout over the fire, along with a few beers. My boy is wrapping up baseball and the school year, so I should have a little more flexibility. Thanks for watching my friend!

[@rubiconron1954]

Wow you did it again great video loved it beautiful scenery your a lucky man.

Hey Buddy ! Great to see ya back on the trail and in the woods for a camping trip ! Such a cool area, so insane you're at 9000= feet in elevation, we don't have that stuff in my neck of the woods. sure was a beautiful lookout spot too. Nice job with the camp and food looked good ! I was wondering what camera are you using to film? do you just use your GoPro for everything? I noticed when you were walking after the hunt, the camera was very steady and I know thats hard to do with a phone or regular camera, I know GoPro has good image stabilization. Grizzly is looking good, hope it's treating you well. All the best to you and the family, stay safe buddy ! Cheers !

[@ManzanoManATVAdventures]

Thanks man. It felt great being out again. It was to long and well needed. Camping in high elevation is cool. The air is thinner so drinking a few beers hits different lol, not to mention breathing with less oxygen. I used my IPhone to film. It is the new 15 Pro Max and it has awesome video stability. This was my first time using it in a video and I am impressed. Otherwise I use a Panasonic Lumix G85. But the way the IPhone did I think I will be using this now. I attached an external mic with a deadcat mic cover to help with the wind. Man I am loving the Grizzly! I have no regrets on trading the Can Am. I hope all is well and take care of yourself and your family. We are all well over here, thanks! Cheers 🍻!

There is no campground that I am aware of that is designated for travel trailers. All the camping out here is dry camping with a handful of opportunities.

I am not aware of any permits you will need other than your plates and registration. Some research will be needed to confirm this. I have never road these trails, but I know there is an area called Cedro Peak within an hour of Albuquerque, you can find information here at this website www.alltrails.com/trail/us/new-mexico/cedro-peak-trail. There are other areas to ride but travel would be at least a 4 hr round trip drive just to get there. Popular riding is out in the Jemez north of Albuquerque. I would be happy to help narrow something down.
