Solo Wilderness Journey: This is where it STARTS

[@Archie144]

Brett, I have personally watched every one of your videos but something about this particular video was very inspirational to me, you have come along way since your first video and I still look forward every time you post a new one. It’s amazing to me that we are so like minded regarding this type of lifestyle. I also enjoy riding my mule’s and being in the outdoors. Good job!

[@Gene.Guazzo]

If I were to comment it would be redundant so, I’ll just nod my head in a knowing way to all of the comments and say, “Thank you Bret” and thank you everyone for letting him know how much he is appreciated.

[@drybayoudan5429]

Absolute agreement ! Thanks for sharing with us.

[@michaellesueur5103]

Whatever you do, do not stop making these videos! I’m 76 years old. I have dreamed of your lifestyle all my life. I’ve had a couple of good mules and several horses in my days. I love the back country, and used to say quite often “I was born 100 years too late”. I can’t say with words how much I miss my critters. Much better than human friends.

[@indtexcol]

I have followed some Continental Divide Trail ( CDT) hiker’s videos and they cross the Gila River over 50 times. That is some very beautiful country.

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Wow guys thank you very much these comments do mean a lot to me

[@RH-xr8ms]

Woowee,,,, In 1978, I was helping my Outfitter take a string of 5 mules to the mountain tops Southwest of Rifle Colorado. We were already on top about 2 miles from the old line shack we used for a camp site. Going through a stand of Quakies one of the mules hung a pack tote on one of the tall thin Quakies, and it shook a hornets nest down on top of her ! Damn,, we had 5 mules, and 2 horses pitching and running through those aspens and unloading packs and scattering our groceries and goods for 1/4 mile. Man, what a wreck !!! Quite a memory !! Thanks for the videos !!!!!!!

[@BrettVaughnB100]

what a video that would of made lol .. Thanks for watching

[@missyfix3508]

Brett, you've got me hooked on your videos. The mules, land, and hounds. Life couldn't be better. Thanks for sharing your adventures!

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Glad you like them! I will get back out there soon and make some more ... got places to go and things to see .. Thank you!

[@darrylthehorntoadpiper]

Wooo buddy spot on!😎👍👍

[@larryreese6146]

I envy you your good gentle mules. Lot of folks think a mule can't run. Many, many years ago I went to a horse show, won a blue ribbon with a weanling foal there too. But they had mule pulling contests and a mule race there too. Some folks had bred mules by some fine fast quarter horse mares and those mules could scat like a scared jackrabbit. Fastest one was a little sorrel ridden by a little freckle faced red haired girl no bigger than a bobbin. When she came down off the side of that mountain her pigtails were flying and that little mule was low to the ground and moving like a rocket. I was 12 and it's something I'll always remember. Thought I'd share.

[@mikewyd53]

Mules can find their way even when they haven’t been there before. When the weather was bad, or the night pitch black, I would follow my mule. She never failed to get us where we were going, safe and sound.

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Sometimes I think Agnes thinks she knows where she is going but doesn't lol Now my old Jet Johnson mule he could find his way anywhere and I always trusted him .. Thanks

[@charlesgrymko6796]

You can Sleep The US Forest Service mules , and they will take back to the Wilderness Ranger station or theCliff Dwellings Corrals if you Sleep too long !!!

[@kennybolt8329]

Don't know if you were talking about me or not but I bet that mule knows more than about where she's at than you think. The greatest beast of burden of beast ever made.

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Yes I was .. I appreciate you watching the videos .. wanted to make sure you knew that .. Thank you!

[@rustykeller8264]

Decided to join you, on your adventures. I've watched a few of your videos, and enjoyed them. I'm 75, so now a bit slow in my get along. Ranched raised, did horse, and mule stuff most my life, and can relate to the things you do. Also, I live nearby, in Silver City. Happy trails.

Agnes really was moving along at a good clip. She really seemed to enjoy herself. Beautiful animal.

She usually knows which way is back to the truck lol .. Thanks

[@Grandmamacita]

Great video, Brett. I think about what my great great grandparents went through when they moved from Comanche County, Texas to NM/ Arizona territory in 1880. Herding their cattle, 10 children, and setting up a new homestead.

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Don't you know they were tough .. not many could do that these days .. Thanks

[@karlcostigan7633]

This is the first video of yours I run across and I literally could feel the wind, smell the pines and feel the rocking of the mule. It’s been decades since I set a horse and it was so nice to ride along with you that I subscribed and I look forward to seeing all your adventures! Thanks!

[@aopfred1]

Brett, Thank you I fully enjoyed this one! I hunted Clayton Mesa. The climb from the middle fork up to the mesa isn't for the faint of heart. Lots of game up there. You brought back a lot of memories of when my dad was around and took us to those places. Remarkable is the word for those places. Wish i could join you one day. Alfred.

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Let me know when ... I do want to try and spend more time in that country ... now that I'm retired .. Thanks

[@okie2992]

aopfred1 did you take stock up that trail? I was looking into bear hunting that way. Thanks

[@careylogan7639]

Great video Brett!!! . Your video sure brought back some great memories of hiking thru there in my youth. Of course that was 55 years ago. Angus missed the mountain air and seeing new stuff. Just like you. This is the Land of Enchantment. great trip. thanks for taking me along.

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Thank you .. probably hasn't changed much in 55 years except for the some of the fires and floods ... I'm sure like me she has missed it .. now that I'm retired should be able to get up here more ..

[@leapinlizard9487]

Hey Brett love watching your videos. In my younger years I use to hike down into the Grand Canyon a lot. One year we were on the South Kaibab Trail headed down to the bottom. When we got to Cedar Ridge which is a large flat area only about 1 mile below the rim a mule pack was coming up. It's where they take their last rest stop before topping out on the South Rim trail head. I was watching the mules coming up and one cowboy was riding a young mule that was being trained. He came around a tight bend in the trail and his mule just started bucking with him, Didn't seem to faze the rider much at all. those are pretty tough guys. I got to talk to him for a few minutes and he explained what the tail clippings meant on the mules to designate ages.. I have had many horses over the years, but never got a chance to ride a mule. The Gila River runs just North of my home town of Coolidge, AZ, use to swim & fish it.

[@BrettVaughnB100]

I've never been down in the grand canyon but believe if I had a mule buck with me there it might be a little scary lol ... Thanks

[@David.ASmith]

Those sunglasses make me think you would make a great character in a post apocalyptic movie. One of the good guys of course. Out on your mules covering some country with your dogs trying to save the world from zombie mountain lions.

[@BrettVaughnB100]

lol sounds like a good story ... Thanks

[@phillipmortensen7578]

Enjoy your videos Brett. This one especially appealed to me as I have taken that track a few times myself. Even brought my mom along on a backpack trip when she was 65 and camped at the confluence of Iron Creek and Gilita Creek. Also have fished at Snow Lake many times. Thank you!

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Thank you, I will

[@LoneBreeze]

Another great video Brett. Thanks. Turned the video on after I got home from checking cows this morning. While you were making history, I paused to make breakfast and then turned the video back on. Finished the video with a good cup of coffee. Only way to do it. Have to say you have me concerned that you and Agnes had fallen off the trail just before the black bear. Reminds me of the time Bronco Billy Bedson and I did a elk hunt down in the Savana Creek area about 30 years ago. Good time then too. Thanks again, hope to see you soon.

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Checking cows in the morning before breakfast .. sounds good to me ... Thank you .. yes there was a little bit of excitement me trying to get the zoom camera out before that bear decided he wanted out of there ...

[@charlesbee8740]

Brett, I just discovered your videos and appreciate your work. I live in AZ but have a place north of Quemado that we're go to in the summer to get away from the heat. Having the mules looks like a better way to go than hike, I'm too old for that anymore. . Thanks Chuck

This video reminds me off our summers in the Pecos Wilderness, north of Santa Fe. I always hated heading back into the oppressive desert heat as we returned home to Albuquerque. Thanks for taking us along! Stay cool Brett! 🤠🏕️

[@BrettVaughnB100]

I have packed in to the Pecos a couple of times .. I need to go back especially this time of year .. Thanks for watching

[@tommythuntdeer]

Johnson Lake is a family favorite. If you do get to the Pecos, I will be watching with baited breath. Beautiful country for sure. Last backpacking trip I took with my parents and three sisters, we got caught by a hailstorm. Two miles in, we were so cold and wet, my Dad turned us all around and we headed back to the trail head. Disappointed but satisfied we made a smart decision to leave.

[@rexohrt1687]

Brett I almost fell out of my chair when you mentioned j r Williams, he was my closest neighbor in white signal n.m. worked many a round up with him. He was the cowboss.spent a lot of days looking at Betsy's rear end ( his mule) was out of town at the time of his passing and wasn't there for his farewell party, but visit his grave whenever I pass by. Thanks much for his phone message, I had dozens of them.wished I had saved some

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Oh man he was one of a kind for sure .. you did watch the video where I hunted with him and we caught the bears? I think that is the video where I have the voice mail from him .. I really liked him such a happy guy .. Thank you very much !!
