OOPS! Dispersed camping and mistakes!

Carson and I got out to do some dispersed camping and found an awesome spot in the forest.
I also made a dumb mistake.

2nd tip.. Always aim the front of your vehicle to the way out! If it downpours during the night the last thing you want to do is jocky your truck around in a tight spot. Words of experience

[@cjoutdooradventures4896]

Nice tip. It was fun the last day wiggling out.

[@phoenixarizona8441]

True I agree 💯

[@janetanderson7204]

I saw you making your coffee, I'm also a camper, What I do a few days before going camping I get coffee filters (dollar store ) put coffee in a filter, and tie it up with dental floss (no scent). all you have to is boil your water and throw the filter in the water, just like a tea bag, can use them over. I made enough to get me thru the trip works great

[@sarag9021]

Thank you for picking up other people's trash! I look forward to finding similar camping spaces for me and my boys. Thanks for the video.

[@michaelpasko8297]

I appreciate your comments on keeping the camp area clean! Thanks for the video.

[@DirtyJakTheDustyBean]

All the stuff we love doing, great video!

[@rvingsooz]

I enjoyed watching your camp out.

[@popplaurie]

As a former Girl Scout, I hear your pain on the garbage left behind from inconsiderate campers. Thank you for sharing your experience - truly appreciated the information. Curremt Michigan resident (all my life) - ;love that you live here, too!

One thousand and one place to hide, and one brain to remember.

[@skinners_outdoor_adventures]

Great video guys, Keep up the great work and enjoy our great outdoors like we do.

[@cjoutdooradventures4896]

Thanks! Lacking on new videos but we hope to get some out soon.

[@WintersKamp]

We love Michigan!!! So much more to do than here in Indiana! Good to see more people getting their outdoor adventures on KZbin! Subbed! Nick

[@cjoutdooradventures4896]

Thanks! I am itching to get back out. Might try to winter camp. I don't exactly have the right gear for winter. But what the heck.

[@horatiobeaker]

Thanks for having the courage to share all of the “oops” incidents. Your video was enjoyable and a great intro to dispersed camping. In the end, everyone had fun and got to spend some time outdoors.

[@cjoutdooradventures4896]

Thanks for watching!

[@Tawnieandwayne]

Great video! We are heading to Michigan for dispersed camping next month. New friends from Florida :)

[@cjoutdooradventures4896]

Going to be quite a change in temperature for you :) Have fun!!

[@Ponchoman07]

Ahh, the color of that river water made me think you were in the UP. I now see my mistake. That also explains more easily why you were hearing off road vehicles nearby. Yup, we love Michigan!

[@happycamper8895]

About lost mY lunch when I saw the conditions of the campsite on Primal Outdoors. I have an old dianasour just like yours. Never let me down.

[@thetrailheadtv]

Awesome video

[@alancompo8641]

yes, please hate the liter when we triing to get away from it. Miigwetch for bringing that up. Everyone maybe seeing it, pay more attention, and like you pick it up as much as it sucks...thx for video..excited to do such things with my son...hes almost 2.

[@andrewcurtis2605]

Great Video, thanks for sharing! Maybe I missed it but what River were you on?

[@eileenmcloughlin4778]

Here's a camping trick I learned in the girl scouts many many years ago. Before you put a pot on the campfire, etc. Place a little dish soap right on the pan or (in your case) cowboy coffee bottom of the metal cup and smear it around the bottom and up the side aways. Then when you are finished cooking and the pot has cooled simply wipe the bottom and sides off with a paper towel and you have a clean not blacked pan. Thanks injoyed your video of my home state.

[@cjoutdooradventures4896]

Great tip!

[@1870s]

Funny mistake. I'm sure your kid will always remember these times spent together.

[@cjoutdooradventures4896]

He learned a lesson early! Good time with the boys! Even dad's make mistakes!

[@keithlangdon1103]

Bluetti by max oak just did three nights and didn’t even use half the battery. You can charge with solar or AC. P.S. Don’t boil the coffee just let it steep then pour the cold water over the top. Made it by the 5 gal pots before. See you out there!

[@Icutmetal]

We see the same stuff when I’m up there snowmobiling, and always try to take more out than what we brought in.

[@cjoutdooradventures4896]

Thanks for doing your part!

[@alanjohnson2613]

It was part of every troop campout to police the area after camping and before leaving.

[@eileenmcloughlin4778]

Might have to take instant coffee next trip.

[@johnlounsbury6191]

I'm with you: no trace camping is the onlyway to go. carson just got a thumbs up and i understand light sleep nights... its usually animals that keep me reawakening

[@outdoorswithwoodswoman8467]

where in michigan is this? either I missed it or you didn't tell us? lol I probley missed it

[@freedomwalk705]

Hi, liked your video 😊 ever thought about solar for your CPAP? Happy trails.

[@cjoutdooradventures4896]

My battery setup is nice and compact. Never really out more days than my battery can last. I can get easy 3 nights possibly 4 nights of my current set up with no additional power input.

[@mikethornburg2383]

in this video where is it at . looks like a great place for peace and quite

[@hush5144]

If you use a super fine grind for the coffee, you won't get all that crunch. Put your couple spoonsful in the cup or pot and pour just a few ounces of the hot water (not boiling!) water over the grounds; agitate it to get the gases going- this is building the strength of your cup. Pour in maybe 1 more ounce of hot water...swirl swirl...let it sit for 5 minutes or so...THEN pour the rest of your hot water over it.

[@susanshaver912]

Hilarious about burying your keys!

[@cjoutdooradventures4896]

I felt like such a dummy!

[@kylekarwowski2642]

I own an acre in the UP that I live on. Feels damn good.

[@cjoutdooradventures4896]

Jealous :)

[@Ponchoman07]

I too, own an acre in the UP. I love it up there, but sadly, was born a troll. I try to get there as often as I can. Was waiting for you to mention what river you were on. There are endless beautiful places in the UP. I’m guessing your worry about your spot there becoming overrun was unnecessary. Thank you so much for picking up the piggy’s trash; I do the same.

[@Bran317]

We’re is that spot or just a area ur in like what county or road or closest town,i need to find a better spot for me and my boy

[@mattsmith9270]

Im new to dispered camping in Michigan. What did you mean when you said the rules are kind of grey when you were talking about driving down to the river?

[@cjoutdooradventures4896]

I wasn't sure because of a few reasons. 1. the "Marked" road on the motor vehicle use map didn't actually follow that road down the hill. So technically was it a "Road" and the state rule says you can't travel more that 20' or 50 ' (forget as one is state one is national) from the "Traveled Road". Well, it isn't a "Marked road"... but it was a "Traveled Road". Either way, I wasn't blazing my own trail so I felt fine. 2. There are set backs for certain water areas to camp at. After looking more into the laws, I think I was safe. The state rules don't say anything about the set back. And only certain areas like long larger rivers are marked for set back or marked no camping.

[@mattsmith9270]

Thanks for the response. I was pretty sure that's what you were talking about. Just thought I'd ask. I think is 50' on state land.

[@johnlounsbury6191]

rule of thumb : 1rounded tablespoon per cup

[@car24dude]

Get a combination lock box attached to your vehicle, or hide it somewhere ONLY YOU WILL KNOW. OR INSIDE YOIR UNLOCKED VEHICLE.

[@BrodyToYou]

Great video! Are you near Oakland county?

[@cjoutdooradventures4896]

Nope. Home base is in West Michigan near GR

[@Guido_thebarber]

Never done the dispersed camping in mi is there a good map for forest roads or just go and find a spot?

[@cjoutdooradventures4896]

Watch my video "Finding Camp in Michigan" I list a lot of the resources I use in that videos description, including the Forest road maps.

[@Guido_thebarber]

C&J Outdoor Adventures awesome thank you

[@ryantowers2313]

It's not the spot where you have a fire that matters, it does a little but a rock fire ring can prevent most of that, what you need to worry about is the embers that float up an get carried off to another spot that's what starts fires more than anything

[@getoutside8202]

Im looking to do a trip soon any chance you could share what river that is?

[@cjoutdooradventures4896]

Roscommon area along the Muskegon river.

[@getoutside8202]

Cool, thats kinda what i was thinking. Ive spent time outside of Harrison on tge Muskegon river. Thanks for the response

Hey. Wondering where (approximately) this is? I'm a fellow Michigander and beginning car/dispersed camper myself. Love the location and the video. God bless!
