[@susansmith8120]

I think your brilliant. you have made me do what u do. I suffer depression. but when I find someone like you, it makes me want to live. thank you so much xx

[@JD-ml7cg]

What new adventures have you had so far?

[@croatiancroissant28776]

Being outdoors has been my only cure for depression and an outrageous drinking problem I had. It’s really saved my life.

My wife and I both enjoy learning history. That is one of the reasons we like your channel; you include information about what happened in the areas you explore. thank you for making such great videos.

[@bentleejbf3440]

Chigg, you continue to keep me on the edge of my seat, the history you share i thank you such, i also see the compassion in your face with different thoughts you express, ty.

[@TheHeroAppeared]

These videos from the southwest have easily been some of my favorites!

[@maxpowers3494]

anywhere they have jumping cactus, you should bring a comb with you. it's the best tool for removing any segments of the cactus that gets stuck to you. you put the comb behind the segment where the needles are stuck into you and pull it out real fast. It hurts but it works

[@dustyroadsrider]

As usual an excellent video. Thanks for sharing not only your adventures in metal detecting or river hunting but discovery and passing information along as well. You go, and do what a lot of us can't for our own reasons whether health, financial, family obligations, or a multitude of life's doings, we get taken along. I don't know if you realize what a positive impact that has on those who follow you. A thank you seems somewhat petty, but who you are, and what you do is very much appreciated. May you be safe, stay strong, live long, and keep doing what you enjoy.

The gods must be crazy, I & II classic cult funny movies......couple of my favorites

[@christinaisbell9585]

Oh wow! I have never heard this story before. Thank you for showing respect and for the history lesson. Love watching your travels and finds!

[@proliance]

I think Chigg is wearing the Ray Bans I lost last year canoeing.

[@Mandurath]

Like the long exploring videos. Most are places that I will never go and see myself, so getting to sort of take a ride there for a bit when others video exploring those places.

[@GeoFishing]

Your knowledge is immense and we’re all better for it each video we watch. Thanks for sharing ✊💯🤗🤗

[@valiantwarrior4517]

Love your content, sir. Can’t count the number of times you’ve just dropped a nugget of knowledge or wisdom that has made me pause the videos to look up more info. You have a valuable wealth of knowledge on so many subjects. Really appreciate you sharing it with us. I remember seeing a father-son team of paranormal investigators go into that cave. I’m almost cringing as I wait for you to tell the rest of the tale of what happened there.

[@RossIsBored]

Out of all the channels on KZbin this one has to be the most fascinating

[@theflinx]

Being an AZ native, I think your crazy hiking alone in places like that for many reasons. I hope you leave a note with your boat saying where you were going, and also notify someone about when you expect to get back.

[@susanstovell7737]

Your videos are fantastic I have spent hours watching them. These 2 were very interesting. Would love to join in your hikes.

[@robertklauka8483]

Where ever I go, I'm always amazed at the tenacity of life. It clings to every opportunity to grow. Maybe not thrive but still...

[@DiabloBlanquecino]

I’ve been down a lot of rivers like the Salt and you feel very small going the those gorges, it can be a overwhelming feeling.

[@noluv4u100]

Chigger you left me in anticipation!!! It's like watching a fascinating show and all the sudden it says to be continued! dang it now I can't wait 4 the other half of the video!! why do you do this to me??? Lol OK:) what a beautiful location! Thank you for allowing us to live vicariously through your videos! I love you!!!♡♡♡

[@ryanriemersma6523]

Great Video!! cant wait for pt. 2!

[@CoyoteWorks01]

Great adventure. That’s one nice thing about the desert country is how well it preserves all that history. In that dry climate wood can last on the surface for a hundred years or more. I explore tons of old homestead sites, stage stops, wagon roads and am constantly amazed with how long the traces of that history can last around here. On another note, I completely don’t understand how some people can be so inconsiderate of those old sites. So frustrating to see modern trash there. Really enjoying your videos. Thanks for taking the time to do them for us!

[@giffjim55]

I can’t climb anymore; too old and too many metal body parts now. So I love watching your videos. Glad you stopped this video here, I needed to catch my breath.

[@lonniechartrand]

I love your historical narrations of your adventures! Thank you Chigg!

[@sigfriedsecond-jumper6273]

I am a Chiricahua Apache descendant. My lineage is Chihende and Chonoken. I thought I knew Apache Country well, but you amaze me with your videos. Very much appreciated.

[@aquachigger]

Thanks for sharing!

[@cat441]

you have me hooked, I'll be looking for the notification for the second part. Really love how you teach history along with showing the nature.

[@ericparrish1515]

Or a huge coincidence 🤔

[@torchandhammer]

Note: If you access via Hell's Hip Ridge stay away from the Horse Mesa Dam. Local dutch hunter Jim Hatt tells a tale that Homeland security has the area monitored with motion sensors. Stating when you trip a sensor that an Apache Helicopter will immediately be on route to pat you down.

[@mangycoyotemedia]

“The Gods Must Be Crazy” Got it right away! Nice reference to a classic movie.

[@jls99500]

this is the #1 reason history lives on ! Because MEN like this have the interest and desire to explore and tell of the experience !!! electronics may allow the information further than your local area, but would be useless without Man ! chigg on ! & thank you sir !!

[@CodingToFreedom]

The landscape is so beautiful, I wish we had something like that here. Great adventure, you should call your boat trips Beau on a Boat.

[@cravensomecrowtwitch5037]

Those specimens you found are called chalcedony. And yes the deep green is copper!

[@tilt213]

Absolutely amazing ! Thank you for taking us along 😎

[@TheWayha]

Salt River Cave Massacre, Pt 1, that was an amazing climb. Scenery was just wow, great job on filming and narrating this thus far. Off to see pt 2. See ya on the next one.

[@shekeyra100]

Can you imagine when you hear a boat coming while up there and waiting see it and its your boat going past .lol

[@nicolaigammel6685]

ohh trust me it's amazing storytelling you do, and it's fabulous pictures. I'm crazy watching your video from Arizona so never stop. just ceep going!!!👍👍👍

[@Cutter-jx3xj]

Great videos, EXCELLENT. I can tell you first hand about Africanized bees here in Texas. Got into them shredding a pecan orchard. I was stung over 200 times before I could get off my tractor. Started off in the ER, Ended up in the hospital. Damn near killed me. Not a great experience

[@lesahanners5057]

Hey Beau just a thought. If you get yourself some powdered magnesium and put a teaspoon or more of it in your water bottle you can drink it whenever you get allergies from the pollen and it will help your breathing. You can buy plain or flavored magnesium in packets or container under the name, "CALM," off of Amazon or some health food stores. I suffer a lot from asthma, but am also allergic to allergy meds.,so magnesium powder has been a life saver.

[@Lightwish01]

New subscriber to your channel here, great content! The only change I could suggest is that those of us using Apple IPads with crummy speakers find the volume a bit too low. I have my volume to max and can hear it ok, but turn on a fan or background noise and I find it a touch too low to hear. People on PC's won't have this problem. Thanks, love the channel so far!

[@silkysays3557]

The God's must be crazy was a great movie. Awesome trek up to that cave. The officer who led the massacre must have been crazy! Huggs,silky

[@bmolloymolloy9]

This was the best video iv ever watched. You were so respectful it was really refreshing to hear. I'm from Ireland and love the history of the Native Indians. It would be a dream to be over there hiking to those caves and hearing all the history. Amazing thanks 😊👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@LiamDuffProductions]

I'm thankful that you are into making vids. I like to think I learn a little something watching. I loved these 2. Really insightful.

[@daciaclewis]

You are one brave man!!! Is anyone else with you? Love your videos! (from North Carolina)

[@Numberonecoinrollhunter]

I have been waiting for this video i am capachie native American and you explain stuff so well bless you.

[@ryansnead7]

Born and raised in the Sonoran Desert, this video is bringing me home! Wow, thanks for sharing your experiences!

[@jde9095]

Chigg you are amazing man, These videos from you vacation are Fantastic! Thank you for taking us along on these adventures

[@BethSchuler]

When I was a kid I hated history, but now that I'm old I find your story telling is my favorite past time. You are a great teacher to me now. TFS your travels and adventures. 😎

[@julieoliver4956]

I'm from the UK and I am really enjoying your videos they are so knowledgable thank you. Can't wait for part two xx

[@robertthompson7699]

Chigg u sure are having a heck of a adventure wish I was on it thanks for taking time for all of us and taking us on your journey

[@OldButStillKicking]

You do a great job of sharing your knowledge of the history of much of the SW. Looking forward to part 2.

[@terilam-c2e]

Hi there, I have been enjoying all your videos. Dessert is not a landscape I know much of. I've been watching all your searches for Kenny Veach - M cave. Thank you for your laughters, you love for life, for nature, for geography, for history - love it when you mention Native Indians' culture. Stay safe out there. We are with you in spirit!

[@JONINXBOX]

You Sir are a true adventurer and the videos you post are brilliant.. so lucky to seek out all these historical locations and man.. what a life to live. Keep up the good work!.

[@stanbarrett67]

Darn you Chigg!! I'm on pins and needles waiting for the rest of the story!! I guess if Paul Harvy were still with us, He'd be proud of you!

[@garrykennedy5484]

A couple of friends and I went hiking up from Part Cove at Apache lake soon after a rain and found this INCREDIBLE waterfall that was gushing down and we could walk behind it. Long hike, but SO worth it! You follow the dry riverbed up from the cove and start hiking up and to the right. No trails, so it's make your own. Damn it was awesome!!!!!!! Wish I had the video to show you, but the guy that has it got into,,,, drugs,,,, so I don't speak with him anymore. But man I wish I could get my hands on that video.

[@kepsteradv1422]

I really like your videos and your delivery. Great job and congrats on keeping active and exploring!

[@mr.beepers1823]

I know this is sounding redundant, but I appreciate your diligence in making these type of videos. It brings me to places I would want to go, if I were able to climb mountains again. You should've brought your detector!! Hold your breath!!

[@BrokenRRT]

That's some of my favorite fishing grounds. Absolutely love Canyon Lake! I live up north now outside of Kingman near the Colorado river but I miss living closer to the salt river and the lakes there. The whistling/chirping is antelope squirrels (ground squirrels).

[@davefox1857]

QUITE LITERALLY A CLIFFHANGER. VIDEO 1 OF 2. I CAN'T WAIT!!!

[@thebatzinator]

I'm LOVIN these!!! Thank you so much for giving us some lessons in American history!!!

[@celticwitchhuntr5213]

Been watching your videos for a while. I love them. Very relaxing to watch. I watch from start to finish.

[@chandler8211]

I have lived in Az my whole life and go down salt river in kayak all the time and I never that was there . Thank you!

[@wilkiepup1]

This is spectacular!! The colors are wonderful. You are a real trooper for actually following your dream. Learning so much. This is the Arizona that I want to see. And so glad you have your boat!!!

[@cleggthehoardhunter]

You're a right regular Indiana Jones and the Cave of Doom sort of guy

[@hikerx9366]

Such a beautiful area, I love Arizona for it's color and majestic canyon walls. Thanks Beau for doing all the hard work while we sit and watch. Cheers.🍻

[@normanhirtle3180]

WOW Beau, this is one of the most beautiful walks I have taken with you. I can't wait for the second part(but I guess I'll have to) Safe Journey's Sir

[@ashmaybe9634]

Thank you for taking us to this incredibly beautiful spot on earth. The tale of the massacre is horrifying.

[@1Epicdoom]

great Video Been a lot of years since I went to that cave, we took the hike and it seemed like we would never get there. we had some crazy stuff happen to cameras and GPS units they kept showing dead battery in the cave but would be perfectly fine outside. later we learned it may have been spirits zapping the power to try to manifest themselves. don't know how true that is but it seemed logical as the same thing happened on the battlefields up in Gettysburg in November of the same year. we actually caught some unexplainable mist and ghostly figures on digital cameras. when they worked anyhow.

[@samilt13]

Love this part one. Holding my breathe for part 2. Can't wait to hear the story. Thanks Mr. Chigg.

[@mattnobrega6621]

I would love to see someone dive in that river and see what's at the bottom

[@candysantillo3325]

Always a joy to see anything and everything that you post.Im curious about how your wife feels about your trips.I'm sure that's she must worry about you.

[@westend273]

Motorized equipment or boats are prohibited within the Salt River Canyon Wilderness.

[@tommyhall8301]

Good to see you again buddy be safe out there

[@cynsmi]

Just amazing looking over your shoulder. Thank you for the trip.

[@budz3706]

You’re much like me on hikes in the desert southwest! I’ll find myself bending down looking at cool looking rocks while listening to birds. Oh wait! I forgot I was hiking.

[@maryhelen1011]

Cliffhanger? Lol, I couldn't resist you on the cliff there and making a second part! Loving these Arizona videos so much! All the best and safe travels!

[@jonallen5028]

Been watching u for a while now and as a native AS always wondered if I'd do the salt river...or if I would !. Glad to see u in our neck of the woods chigg!

[@marypass684]

So interesting! Thanks for taking us along again. Will be quite a story about the cave !!

[@brokenarrowfarm2364]

Glad you got visit our beautiful state! Lots of live caves here!

[@spottyskunk1898]

Btw - Thanks for all the awesome history and nature vids from your trip, Chig!

[@joebonsal1673]

Fantastic journey so far.......can't wait. Thanks

[@emersonaz]

That plant raising hell with your allergies is call Brittlebush. You just missed the bloom, it's covered in bright yellow flowers. Really beautiful in bloom.

[@Kris_at_WhiteOaksFarm]

Cor, I love your vids of your travels in the south west. I've been there many times, but not in a long while. Takes me back, yup, takes me back...

[@silverwheelspatriot1764]

I wish that was me, beautiful. well the water part . not sure I could get my walker up there..lol

[@ConmanzT]

lol

[@ronjohnson9690]

Splendid view, awesome country, got me spellbound. Thanks for making the climb and not taking the easy way out.

[@diannemc4840]

Skeleton cave is cool. Never been up to it but seen it many times from the water. Lots of big horn sheep in that area.

[@karenwilliams2193]

I really love watching your videos, are you alone on these hikes? It scares me that something might happen while your out there. Thank you for sharing these great adventures! Hugs 🤗

[@wildliferescue8784]

great to see you again. Welcome back.

[@chronicsrandommoments6823]

[@bekahhooper9852]

THANK YOU FOR ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO!!!!!!!!!! LOOKING FORWARD TO PART 2! THANKS FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO!

[@lizzymoore54]

You most definitely have a great persona on camera, Beau. I always enjoy watching your video's. Your not only entertaining, your informative too! I was going to ask, did you get stuck in the right earlobe by a cactus? There are/were two tiny red dots on it. Can't wait to see part two. Hold your breath! 😜😉😊

[@alexonder1545]

Looking forward to pt2 Thank you for sharing these with us...

[@tangie777uk]

Can't wait until part 2 ....Love your vids....Thank you so much

[@paulskillman6634]

Must have been in the winter season. I would imagine it would be over 100 degrees is Summer.

[@TheRedneckRailRoad]

Absolutely Awesome video's. Such a beautiful place mixed with human tragedy. looking forward to part 2. Stay safe and you are always in our thoughts and prayers.

[@dalzoi]

Fascinating history I've never heard about. On to Part two.

[@brhorn]

at 5:40, the quartz hunk there is mineralized, all right. That is a copper pseudomorph of either calcanthite (sic) or malachite.

[@bo49685]

Great first half of the video you're like a true movie director you left me hanging now I have to wait till tomorrow, I'm so excited to see part two!!! Thank you so much for these truly INCREDIBLE videos.....but they are more like exciting adventures👍👍

[@katrinwehner6592]

Very interesting video! I have never heard of the Skeleton Cave Massacre before and it's always fun to learn something new ha! (btw I am from Germany so Native American history isn't taught here really). On another note, I am so amazed that you hike up these rocks so easily. I'm 21 and would have probably died of heart failure or something haha

[@bills6093]

Nice video. I thought we were going to have to make some "FREE THE CHIGG!" signs and organize... :-)

[@mikemccutchen1714]

Thanks for the video.Looking forward to part 2.Great job.

[@Ettienneaz]

Great video of this beautiful hike. I was just there in the Sierra Ancha Wilderness two weekends ago. I was going back for Spring Creek hike this coming weekend, but now I will going for this hike you did here. Thank you for sharing your experience on the trail. It gave me a good idea of what to expect.

[@kaitlyn4146]

I'm really thankful for the Gods Must Be Crazy references. My dad and I love that movie.
