New Adventures - Set Up The Camper & Build Some Trails

[@themidnightrider6805]

Take your time! Doing that all by yourself is no easy task!

[@mtbingadventures1551]

We have a rule where we have to keep it fun. So I just work until I get my fill of excitement. I really enjoy it

[@shawn-paulluchin603]

Lonely, tired Aaron is our hero!! We need another man out there!

[@mtbingadventures1551]

Mini will be coming in the future. Colorado Kid is actually going to be out this Saturday helping me.

[@k9kayaks]

Congratulations 🎉 on the partnership with Brian @BKXC look forward to watching all the new Trail Building Adventures Subing as well 👍🚵🏻‍♂️

[@mtbingadventures1551]

Thank you, I'm so very excited to be teaming up with him. Massive positive energy and fun dude to hang out with. I've been dreaming of doing something like this for a long time now and to have it come reality is just awesome. Thank you for subscribing as well. I really appreciate the support.

[@amcmac7237]

Congratulations on the property and new project🏔🏕💪🏻💯

[@mtbingadventures1551]

Thank you, I can't believe I'm living my dream. It's the best thing to ever happen to me besides my family of course.

[@Friskee62]

This is my first time watching this video. Kinda like how it started...good stuff.

[@mtbingadventures1551]

Oh wow, this was an interesting time. The start of a totally new adventure.

[@01FozzyS]

You the man,Aaron! Hopefully you and Brian can find more help.

[@mtbingadventures1551]

Thanks, well we're definitely getting a lot of people wanting to come out and help. Just have to find the ones that are real sincere and have a little bit of experience.

[@trailjockeytj6160]

Dude, get a Rototiller, it makes bench cutting so much easier. The initial cut with the tiller into the hillside then work sideways to cut your bench. Built nearly a mile on my 5 acres that way

[@mtbingadventures1551]

I'm a bit skeptical that a rototiller will work where I'm at. There are lots of rocks a good sized roots that my tool just plows right through. I will see if anyone on the team has one their willing to use for this.

[@trailjockeytj6160]

@@mtbingadventures1551 where it works it works. And where it doesn’t heal then go back to hand technique. But it does take a lot of Backbreak out of the highly dirt areas as well as preps the soil for a good marriage back together if you’re building partial bench. I was very lucky in the property I am building on, very few rocks almost none, and the roots weren’t too bad but I did have a Pulaski to take care of those when the tiller wouldn’t cut them. I have one and I’m not particularly using it this time of year. And would both love to see what you’re doing and help out if possible. Let me know and good luck on the 20 miles.

[@trailjockeytj6160]

@@mtbingadventures1551 Also, I have a compactor which makes seasoning the trail a little faster. Although if it’s too dry it just pushes the dirt around and doesn’t really do anything for you.

[@mtbingadventures1551]

@@trailjockeytj6160 the plate compactors are awesome. I used one at the bike park a lot. I'm thinking about running one of those through the trail after we get a good rain. Timing it for great conditions could be tough here. It might just go right to snow when winter comes. Also can't be to wet or it just sticks to the plate.

[@ovtj]

Cool stuff man…definitely need a shredquarters sticker on the camper door!!

[@mtbingadventures1551]

Great idea for sticker. We'll make some a bit down the road. We have a good amount of projects

[@mrdee03]

Trailer better then a tent! Snow coat the roof for insulation and sealing leaks.

[@mtbingadventures1551]

Yes, I definitely need to prep it for a potentially harsh winter.

[@CaliradoKid]

And here I was CONVINCED you hired a crew before I got out there. 😂. Now I see you weren’t kidding when you said you did it solo. Glad I could lend a pair of VERY muscley arms and a fantastic mustache to the project. 😂

[@mtbingadventures1551]

We made an awesome team. If we can get a couple more people out we will have trails everywhere. Can't wait to get back out there for some more punishment.

[@michaelkroleski]

Hope you guys have some fun natural features on the property like giant boulders, slabs, dry creek beds!

[@mtbingadventures1551]

Striking out on the boulders but we do have lots of dry creek beds

[@derekmilligan]

When you have to do a bunch of work and spend a bunch of money...before you do a bunch of work and spend a bunch of money. Lol. Dude.....you're a beast.

[@mtbingadventures1551]

It comes easy when you're passionate about trail building.

[@janmaly1591]

Since you've got the trailer but are making trails instead of meth, you guys can call this new venture "Breaking Trail".

[@mtbingadventures1551]

Nice, I may have to use that somehow

[@CaliradoKid]

Genius.

[@kikikin4264]

Wonderful!!! Fun!!! Awesome work!!! Excited!!!

[@mtbingadventures1551]

Thank you

[@andykordsmeier]

That's tons of work to do solo! Nice work! Time for a cold beer next door.

[@mtbingadventures1551]

Yeah I usually have a beer too after a long day. No strength to go anywhere after that though.

[@chrisgreen5000]

Super excited for you and Brian! Nice work out there man. That is some serious effort! Looking forward to seeing the upcoming vids.

[@mtbingadventures1551]

It's hard work but I'm loving every minute of it. My body is getting strong right now. I might have to start eating better. I'm losing weight to fast

[@TGormania]

WOW!! Fantastic work! Bravo! My 6 acre backyard trail system isn't quite the same (still a lot of work though). LOL!

[@mtbingadventures1551]

6 acres is still a ton of work. I think I've only started building on a couple acres so far. It's insane how much we can do out here.

[@TylerBoothGolf]

Woot, camper base!

[@mtbingadventures1551]

Home away from home.

[@flexmtb]

So excited for you guys! I hit up Brian letting him know I'm down/available to help. I'm up near Rocklin now so can drive up on the weekends and move dirt. Let me know!

[@mtbingadventures1551]

I'm sure we're going to have some build days. Thanks for volunteering. We'll let everyone know as we get some more ideas of what we need to do.

[@flexmtb]

@@mtbingadventures1551 Looking forward to it!

[@coolcycles]

Strong shovelling! No Beksie? Did he already see the Mountain Lion, he always wished to?

[@mtbingadventures1551]

We both want to see about line but neither one of us have ever got that opportunity. At least in the wild

[@lostman65]

dude, that’s some serious work you’re putting in! also pretty quickly as well.

[@mtbingadventures1551]

Thanks, I hope to have the second downhill done (rough cut of course) in a couple of weeks. I've been getting some help now and progress is picking up.

[@kenyanettingham1818]

Be careful, watch out for that big cat.

[@mtbingadventures1551]

I haven't seen anymore signs of the kitty. Was hoping to catch on one of out game cameras.

[@BrianVaughn]

Man, you commuting at all or you just going all in to get some trails up the property? Pretty awesome you two are building. Looking forward to see what you guys create.

[@mtbingadventures1551]

I'm out here for 3 or 4 days then I rotate back home for 3 or 4 days. And if I'm feeling the wife needs me home a little bit more I kind of remain flexible on my schedule for her. So far it's been working out really good

[@Boone1981]

Trail with the paw print should be named "mountain lion's pass"

[@mtbingadventures1551]

Great name for a trail. Unfortunately we found the paw print on the access road to the property. Maybe we can name the road after that. It gets a ton of wildlife activity.

[@VACPOV]

🔥🔥🔥

[@mtbingadventures1551]

Thanks

[@B1KER]

Aaron making a ridiculously steep climbing trail….weird. 😂 I can see you’re up to your old shenanigans again. You need someone up there roping ya in. 🤷‍♂️🤪

[@mtbingadventures1551]

It's at least under a 30% grade. How hard can it be. LOL

[@B1KER]

@@mtbingadventures1551 FACEPALM!!! I will say a progressive jump line or one that has like three sizes built on it several places down the hill would be an awesome trail. I’m assuming with 90 acres the property isn’t long enough to get a long run in, however you could build some super fun skill building laps in. I’d do my best to extend the climb or do whatever it takes to make it super easy. If it’s crappy to you, it’s a hik-a-bike to most riders. I can’t wait to be able to come up and help you guys out.

[@mtbingadventures1551]

@@B1KER it's not to steep. Trying to make the climb trail very mellow. It's going to be used by everyone to access all the other trails. I got jump lines, confidence course, and all sorts of stuff that will happen. Right now it's rough cuts and lots of hiking to see what I have to work with.

[@trailjockeytj6160]

Also looks kind of dry, cut trail earlier in the season

[@mtbingadventures1551]

I will be cutting trails year round if weather permits. We are going to be building about 20 miles of trail. I already have 1.5 miles cut in now using the Gaia GPS app. to get that info. We'll be getting more equipment to help get our 65 gallon water tank to places we need to wet down. We also have some smaller water tanks for the more difficult trail sections.

[@t.o.f.t.s.]

those are dog tracks. coyote

[@mtbingadventures1551]

No nail markings though. Most of the locals have been saying it is small mountain lion or bobcat. We do see lots of fox on the property and their prints are very easy to recognize now. I see those all the time and they're really tiny.

[@Duckhead3000]

@@mtbingadventures1551 interesting. id say fox then. the pad formation is k9

[@mattspen]

Nice work, I’m excited to follow these trails! I took the summer off and would love to volunteer time. I have a self sufficient van. I also love drawling trail concepts and I may have dug up your property location and already drawn up some trail ideas for fun, no pressure. Email me if your interested: “sendmattemails at gMai|”

[@mattspen]

Btw I use CalTopo to plan trails, the Slope Angle Overlay is great for locating the best spots for uphill switchbacks or areas that will be easier to shelf etc. I already drew up some example trail plans in CalTopo but I don’t want to share your location that I dug up. (I could be wrong on the property I found but it seems to match the topo Brian shared 😉 and I don’t mean to be creepy I just love technology, trails and volunteering)

[@mtbingadventures1551]

I've been using Cal Topo a lot lately. It works really good. You got the right spot and if you are really interested in coming out and volunteering in the future just keep hitting me up. I have a lot of messages and I don't mean to glance over your comments. I just got to make sure we find people we can trust and are serious in helping.

[@mattspen]

@@mtbingadventures1551 Awesome! No worries. I stopped volunteering because I’m back to working crazy hours. Back when I was volunteering I was 100% available because I saved up and took the summer off from work. If my schedule opens up I’ll reach out. I’m guessing you’ll be snowed out tell spring. I would love to dig and ride for sure! Else come camp once it opens up!
