This is going to be an awesome adventure. Looking forward to the videos,...... and now that your dogs are helping with the production it will be even more interesting. Maybe strapping a Go-Pro to the back of one of the hounds would give a different point of view.

[@Floppy-Ears]

Hey Brett, a question about your tent: you know how a bridge will freeze before the main road because it’s got air flowing under it? On those cold nights and mornings, does it seem any colder up in the air like that compared to having a tent on the ground? Thanks Amigo

[@BrettVaughnB100]

I haven't noticed but it stands to reason that it would be colder.. it is pretty well insulated on the floor ... Thanks

[@Boga217]

Old video I know but I don't think you've done the ride right? If you haven't, when you do please get a battery disconnect installed in a hard to see spot. Or a toggle switch that can disable fuel power. These day's between border traffic and hooligans here I'd be worried I wouldn't have a track to come back too. Maybe a locking pin for hitch receiver and tounge.

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Not yet .. I have made arrangements to keep my rig and a guys house .. but a disconnect would be a good thing no matter what .. Thank you good idea

[@EmmettHenderson-hf1zm]

Your a man after my own soul about as close as I've ever seen. English pointer birddogs, good cowboys the heading trailing kind that could pick a cow trail up and go hold em until I get there on my horse, good plott dogs since maybe 14 yrs old. Got into plotts by accident. My dad dropped off a young bull he had bought into our broken down cow lot that bull quickly jumped the fence and there was a plott hound that had just turned up at our house and we put that hound on that bull while we quickly saddled our horses and that plott dog held that bull about a mile in a big swamp. My dad and I rode up and roped that bull and dragged that bull all the way back to the corral. From that point on I became a plott man and asap ordered a pup from Dale Brandenburger in Illinois. Now still have this line of plott dogs and I incorporated jadgterrier about 1997 for f1 cross now I have 5/8plott an 3/8 jadgterrier about 40-55 lb dogs that are like the energizer bunny they never run down.

[@BrettVaughnB100]

I bet that would be a good cross for Bear .. If I was just going to run Bear I think thats what I would get into a good line of Plotts ... Thanks

[@EmmettHenderson-hf1zm]

@@BrettVaughnB100 yes they my experience they are very smart, fast and I see no nose differences from a full on hound other than more determination than most hounds. I really like them and they get very attached to the one that owns them other people they seem to ignore, but I live at the end of a goat trail so they mostly just know me and one other friend that drops by every few weeks. The plott side goes back to fairly cold nose dogs of the foundation breeding of Weems and brandenburger etc.
