Nevada Desert WILDERNESS | Backpacking Solo | OUTLAW Trail History

HI Guys,
I'm excited about this weeks video...talking about the outlaw history of the West and their remote, wild and beautiful hide outs they hide in while on the run from the law.
I travel to northern Nevada and backpack into a remote desert land of ridges. mesa ;s and rock outcrops to find the reason outlaws would go to such wild places. I solo camp, cook a delicious street taco dinner and enjoy the wild desert landscape.
Keep Hiking!
Base Camp Chris

[@longwinters4304]

As always a great video. I can’t imagine how the “outlaws” made it out there..hauling in food and water etc… Especially for longer periods of time. Pretty amazing.

[@basecampchris]

Yes - not easy...very remote country.

[@xenomorphlover]

It looks so peaceful there in the dessert....but I guess I can get pretty scary there at night...

[@GariFFUSA]

I searched for “camping in Nevada” and man am I glad to have stumbled on your channel. This is so much better than ordinary camping videos, I listened to entire story and didn’t skip even a second. Best of luck in your adventures!

[@basecampchris]

Thank you Barry!

[@chrisbrackney7173]

My parents bought me a book by Robert Redford for Xmas in the late 70's about the Outlaw Trail A Journey Through Time. I still love looking at it. Good stuff! Happy Trails and keep hiking 😀

[@basecampchris]

I remember that book he went on a weeks long horse / pack trip into Wyoming/ Utah etc...! Great book and movie. Published 1978...Happy Trails!

[@ecttreker9816]

[@basecampchris]

Thanks! KH!

[@garrycollins3415]

I've got a winter trip planned for this weekend. It's short, I need to see if my leg is healing, so I think I'll carry the extra weight to make tacos. Thanks!

[@basecampchris]

There ya go....Ziplocs and Tupperware type containers work to carry.

[@thebeardedgorilla8596]

Awesome as usual...

[@basecampchris]

Thank you BG!

[@red1able]

Great views from the top. You literally can see for miles.

[@basecampchris]

Absolutely! wide open country...Thanks Art.

[@hilltopvt]

It was really fun to see Butch and Sundance's hideout 'in real life'. Thanks Chris - always fun to tag along with you

[@fcernst]

Great job.. I really enjoyed it!

[@basecampchris]

Glad you enjoyed it! Kh!

[@DrDennis]

Damn Chris, these get better and better. Thanks for the history lesson I never knew. Love these old west stories. Keep hiking 🥾 buddy!

[@basecampchris]

Thank you Dr D! KH!

[@michellelyon3149]

Right?! We live in NYS & I learn so much about that side of the country watching his adventures. I am a new subscriber & I think my husband is getting a bit jealous of the time I spending binge watching Chris! Also, I have a new awareness of what could be lurking in our woods!

[@karnosadventures6599]

Really enjoyed this Chis, I look forward to each video

[@basecampchris]

Glad to hear it! Thanks!

[@blackinkarchives5160]

Great history. I loved it. Looking forward to more. The history that you share is my favorite part, along the beautiful views. Thank you!

[@basecampchris]

Glad you enjoyed it KH!

[@TheKoyotetracker]

I came across your channel a few months back and have truly enjoyed it. The Bigfoot stories hooked me in but I do love your tales of history as well. Now my wife and I look forward each week to a new Base Camp Chris. I'm retiring from teaching this year and hoping to get back out and dust off my hikers. Thank you for the tales, the travel, and the inspiration.

[@lizweekly1483]

Really good stories Chris! Keep 'em a comin! You tell them really good, man|! Liz

[@bugsy8734]

Love The Desert!! The Skies are a Pure Clean Blue and Go On Forever. Really Enjoyed the Tale of Butch and Sundance, and the Trail Tacos looked Amazing!! Thank You So Much for This Wonderful Adventure Chris!!

[@basecampchris]

Appreciate it Shirley! Keep Hiking!

[@tmo.48]

[@basecampchris]

Good for you! KH!

[@maddox7493]

Desert video is here! My fav one! Thanks Chris!

[@basecampchris]

Glad you liked it! Thanks!

[@ewengillies9826]

Hey Chris we know the real reason you went out there... to play at being an Outlaw ... lol. Wish you could make a book or series of all the history stories and yarns you tell. Would be an awesome collection to own mate they're so interesting and informative for those of us living outside your country. Riveting vid my friend keep on hiking and telling stories. Bushyboy Oz

[@basecampchris]

Maybe one day! Thanks so much! Fun stuff.

[@benwelch4076]

I am waiting for the Base Camp Chris Cookbook to come out, when it does reserve me a copy. Quite the history of the Hole in the Wall Gang, that took some research. I hope you do get around to finishing the Butch and Sundance in a future video. Always wondered how he got the name Sundance Kid, now I do! As always you have that eye for scenery and now how to pick the spots. Cooking, camping and a fun story about history, made me feel young again. Cheers and stay safe.

[@basecampchris]

Thanks for the encouragement Ben...Should be a good sequel.

[@jetmanwalking]

Really great video Chris! Thanks for the adventure!

[@basecampchris]

Glad you enjoyed it! KH!

[@davemiller8203]

Man, I am so glad I stumbled upon your channel. Your videos are so entertaining. Thank you!

[@MegaSusanc]

[@basecampchris]

Glad you enjoyed it...Keep Hiking!

[@lh457725]

This is awesome! Great video and you are right. It is so cool to hike and camp in the places where outlaws used to hide out. I didn't know about these famous outlaw locations. Thanks for another awesome video!

[@basecampchris]

Welcome...glad you enjoyed! KH!

[@NYCHFAN]

I love your stories! Can't wait to hear the rest of the outlaw's sagas! ❤️👍⛺️🌄

[@basecampchris]

Awesome...More to come!

[@tg4941]

Those two crows were probably Butch and Sundance come back! Watching you. Might be some hidden banknotes in them thar hills still. 😁

[@tylerberry2476]

Right on ! What a Awesome camp !! Luv it ! Thanks for sharing this with us! Looking forward to more about Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. 👍👍😎

[@basecampchris]

Thanks Tyler! KH!

[@browsman2328]

Great video as always Chris, appreciate your historical research and images. BTW those birds that followed you were most likely Ravens because crows usually travel in flocks and Ravens are more solitary. Ravens are considered the most intelligent bird.

[@basecampchris]

Yeah that makes sense....Ravens usually travel in pairs. Thank you and KH!

[@tmo.48]

Probably wanted some food scrap maybe

[@werejustapassinthru574]

I absolutely loved this video! Thank you for taking me along where I may never go. 🤷‍♀️

[@calvinmonroe2408]

[@fantasyEXX]

Great video. Reminds me a lot of the area around Amboy Crater. Thank you for going to these places while I'm stuck at work. Can't wait to get on the trail again but sadly my employer is denying all vacations because we're understaffed. 10 months and no relief in sight :(

[@basecampchris]

[@dorianmclean6755]

[@basecampchris]

Thank you Lauren...not yet...but that's an interesting idea.

[@Stan_L]

Great video! Thanks for sharing.

[@donreinholz8121]

Great views up there and interesting wild west stories too Chris. It must have been interesting to have lived back when outlaws roamed the streets.

[@basecampchris]

Glad you enjoyed it...yes quite a history!

[@tmo.48]

You ALSO live in time where outlaws roam the streets. And pillage. And burn. And...

[@nerdyolddude4924]

I love your videos. You are such a likable person and good storyteller.

[@sean5467]

Love that landscape!

[@chrishaws7680]

Love the history and everything about you and your channel! Keep it up! Be especially careful. Thanks for all of your hard work!

[@reesfullmer1194]

My father's family settled in Circleville UT, where they were friends with the Parkers. I recommend the book "Butch Cassidy: My Brother" by Lula Parker Betensen.

[@frankducett9]

Amazing views, history, and very, very well presented. Thanks from the cornfields of Indiana. Watch the snakes.

[@tmo.48]

I live in the cornfields of Indiana ❤

[@OldGoatintheWoods]

Oh man, to explore some of those locations...and on horseback...that'd be pretty sweet. Great stuff!

[@basecampchris]

That would be cool! Thanks!

[@wildweasel8564]

Chris, After rehydrating the MH Breakfast Skillet try adding some bacon bits and browning in your skillet with some butter or ghee, it is great on its own out of the pan or as a filling for breakfast burritos with flour tortillas.

[@basecampchris]

Thanks for the tips!

[@tmo.48]

Sounds delish❤

[@sonjamarohn1134]

Das ist sehr interesand was sie da erzählen Sir

I’ve passed through NV a few times on long drives and I was laughing at the first few shots of the video because I SWEAR I’ve driving that road before

[@timgreene8432]

You don't want to lock your keys in the car out there . Hahaaa , be safe . Thanks .

[@maggsbufton1969]

Looks like a lovely meal; what no chilli powder or chilli’s? Glad you use walking poles, with a heavy pack on rough terrain, is a good idea, it’s easy to get over balanced .

[@calvinmonroe2408]

Is painted hills connected to the painted desert ?

[@basecampchris]

That is in Arizona...

[@otisfreeman8766]
