You're living a lot of our dreams..and I love to see it. not everyone is able to just drop their current lives and everyday tasks to get out and explore the beautiful scenery our country has to offer.. your pictures and videos take me places...it almost feels like I'm there.. keep it comin!

Might be time to invest in a firearm to be protected during any of those sketchy encounters moving forward! Love the vids man

[@rile7648]

Idk why he didn’t hop in the driver seat and leave

[@datguyched5335]

@rile7648 it's probably a rough trail to get where he was situated.. can't just burn off too fast. you gotta drive cautiously or he could end up stuck in snow somewhere. And he doesn't know if the driver that brought those people there were possibly right down the way waiting for them..lot to consider.

[@ovI0i17Hpl]

It was paved parking lot to a baseball field, not a trail. Definitely should look at getting a firearm. Although it may hinder what states he can travel to.

[@datguyched5335]

@ovI0i17Hpl yes.. but we didn't get to see what the road that leads to that lot looks like.. even just a little ice can be dangerous when trying to really step on the gas..and as I said.. he had no knowledge of where the driver went. They could've been waiting down the road🤷🏽‍♂️ I know ID definitely be armed though. Lol

[@classicminicooper]

​@ovI0i17Hpl there is Many laws of transporting a forearm across state lines , due diligence in research debunks any sketchy attempts . U can simply read up on laws and and operate accordingly, that's what law abiding firearm owners do . We research laws and follow them

Omg was thinking same thing dude's language is great! Very nice to hear

[@Kokolakio]

I randomly found his videos and I’ve just been binging since the start, I love how it’s just a man enjoying the world he is in and just sharing it with us as well. It’s amazing

[@jatin833]

Same😊

[@drivingbro]

I never seen a youtuber set off so fast! I saw his first shorts, and then he did several shorts without making long videos, very interesting way to start a new channel and it seems to have worked great for him!

[@Caseycallender]

That would be sage brush. The plant your smelling, I'm glad somebody else likes it other than me. Most people hate the smell haha. Also wanted to say, if you go north from gypsum up into those mountains you keep looking at it is magnificent. That's steamboat springs/Colorado River headwaters area. One of my favorite places in CO. Hopefully you make it out there sometime.

[@SalvagetoScenic]

Thank you! I’ll have to return and push further north next time! 😁

[@maggiedoja]

Yah, is it the one that gets mistaken for lavender when it's blooming?

[@Caseycallender]

@@maggiedoja it doesn't really have colorful flowers. Its a glazed green color much like lavender so it might be the same plant. Very potent aroma.

[@13zounds]

I thought so.

[@cindyericks]

Lavender? If it smells so good

[@felisawilliams6635]

I pray that you are always safe, never hungry, and warm. To be able to see nature through your eyes is amazing. Thank you for the content!

[@motherofperler]

again, just living your best life and not trying to glam it up or make it flashy. This is great content. Just genuine vibes.

[@motherofperler]

Stay safe!!

[@user-ci2ml8sr9j]

This video made me as A mom thankful I had all girls. Please be aware of danger and stay safe

[@Webbzy]

These videos get me through some long nights with my newborn. Thank you brother. Keep going

[@skipeverything]

Seeing when this guy uploads is so refreshing! Great content as always! Scary moment. Good thing you’re okay!

[@mauibuilttjb]

You're out there doing what most of only wish we could do. These videos are super fun to watch!

[@N2481L]

Dude, when first found your channel, I thought it was pretty cool, but not really much. Just another guy who was building a truck in his driveway. Just another. But it panned out to be so much more. I started to hear you in the shorts and thinking you sounded super genuine and nice. It was a good taste after tons of brain rotting content most everywhere else. I am so happy I stuck with it. And I still remember when you posted the final build short and kinda feeling sad after the thirty something series. But then you posted the first video of this series and it made me so excited. I know times can be tough, especially in your situation when you are alone, but I hope you know you have your entire family thinking about you 24/7, and for whatever we're worth, we love your content and also just how nice and relaxing you are. Cherish the moments you love most and forget the ones you hate. This journey you started is something I wish I could do. And Lord knows I would have definitely also picked a taco for the trip (the dang thing will never die on you lol). I'm extremely happy to see you happy, I know I have no clue who you really are and we basically have no connection whatsoever, but I think its fun. Keep on keeping on, and remember God's with you through your journey, and so is your family. Much love from all your fans! @SalvagetoScenic

[@pentallica893]

I believe that scrub is called Artemis tridentata or sagebrush

[@lowkeycherokee1586]

Native Coloradan here! Love to see you enjoying the state, that was wild Sage you were looking at by the way! Makes great tea if you forget your baggies

[@mikelemire4543]

Massachusetts here! You are amazing. Once in a lifetime buddy. Love how you’re just honest and true about your experiences. Keep it up and get to work editing more!!!!

[@valeries9796]

When the heater isn’t working, you could use rocks to stay warm. Throw some large, flatter rocks into a fire for a while and then if you put them under a blanket with you it’ll help hold the heat. I don’t think it’ll work all night, but at least long enough for you to fall asleep comfortably

[@BoyceBedoni]

That brush you were smelling in the video is called a Sage Brush. Has a lot of medicinal properties. Take a handful and boil it. Drink it like tea. Good for congestion.

[@alexandino7498]

Love your videos bud! You are living our dreams. You are living the dream. I have a built up 4Runner just like your truck and I haven't been able to take a trip like that. But seeing you inspires me. And thank you very much for making your weekly video a little bit longer. I enjoy them and look forward to seeing more. I honestly come home from work play on Sundays and watch them after you post them. 😊

[@danicacopp8376]

I appreciate your safety awareness. As a mom…we worry about things like cliff edges and wildlife! Pretty amazing camping spot.

[@Dingthedingbat]

Perhaps moms should worry a bit about not holding up their propaganda against worrying, and pay their own way, without sending others to hell and begging for big money from state breaking commies

[@DAScriver]

I’ve lived in Gypsum and Eagle my whole life! It’s so cool watching you cruise around my stomping grounds! I’m glad you enjoyed our trails

[@SalvagetoScenic]

What a small world! Thank you for tuning in 😁

[@DAScriver]

⁠I’m sure you’re gone by now but if you’re still around or you end up coming back in the Spring, I can take you on a police ride along. I’m an officer here and we’re always happy to take people out with us.

[@WhestoneWays]

If you go to one of the National Forest Service office, they can hook you up with some topo maps. You may need them if you get yourself in a situation in the back country. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us and for appreciating the smell of the sage brush. I grew up near there and spent summers in Leadville with family, so this is ol' home week for me!

Don’t care, how long your video is, it was awesome 👏🏼 You’re doing a fabulous job, Great job!

[@Katy_WelcomeToHolland]

Awesome adventure this go around!! God those mountains.... I climbed a mountain in NH during summer once and its so incredibly different, lush green trees, lakes everywhere, just beauty as far as you could see... Thanks for giving us a Birdseye view of Colorado in the winter! Gorgeous just the same, but different in the best of ways! I still think mountain kitties just want hugs but best to not be their target of scratchy hugs!! And as for the people in all black, what the what???? Ive seen smoother drug deals at stores I used to work at 😂 jerks! Stay safe and you are the definition of making the most of it! It must be so serene.... Enjoy friend! Take a few moments of serenity in nature for us!!! ❤

Hell yea this was a good one bro! Beautiful scenery and nice riding! Glad you got up and came down safe! But so when you were driving up the hill in the beginning, you had to stop to prop your phone, record, then stop to grab it and get the back shot of you driving away, then stop to grab the phone? Man that’s a lot of work but I guess that’s how it is 🤣 Thinking too, you might want to read up on some firearm for sketchy people. Overall great video brother keep going!🤙🏽😎
