Ultimate Full Comfort Elk Camp

[@2spotmooses]

This video showed me i get that twinge of sadness even when watching others break down camp, signaling an end to an amazing hunt and camp! Well done men!

[@kiotewolfer3278]

Kickass video most people skip over camp during a elk hunting video ty for touching on how your camp is put together.

[@justmitchell17]

I noticed that as well. Figured I’d do a camp focused video. Hopefully it helps someone when they’re planning for their next hunt 👍🏻

[@markhill8276]

really like the set up, and no swearing it was refreshing thank you

[@justmitchell17]

Thanks Mark. A lot of thought and planning was put into it. Thanks for watching 👍🏻

[@newkey1106]

The best part is seating in camp calming down after getting your first for the season thanks man for showing this I have videos on vhs tracking old vhs is heal trying to show my son old back country hunting in Virginia and South Carolina

[@justmitchell17]

It definitely made the rest of the hunt much more relaxing knowing I had already punched my bull tag.

[@martyhurleyoverthehillhunt6816]

Great video. Great camp setup. Thanks for sharing.

[@joshuaewalt486]

I'd go along and just be your camp chef fire care taker and rear security for the gear! Don't even wanna hunt.🇺🇲🤘😂

[@yungskullivan]

You even remembered the bush broom for snow removal! I wasn’t sure if you guys forgot that you were out there to hunt haha. awesome setup, boy does it make a difference being comfy! Congrats on the nice bulls

[@justmitchell17]

It was miserable conditions. By day 3, we were the only ones left on the mountain. But I believe our ability to outlast everyone else was largely due to our setup and being able to be comfortable 👍🏻

[@Mntnere]

Yall definitely did some excellent planning and all the right equipment

[@justmitchell17]

It was rewarding to see it all come together.

[@okoeppen3428]

great Video !

[@justmitchell17]

Thanks!

[@dianeroach8874]

Way to go guys! Amazing setup.

[@heinzhess930]

Good video!! Here in Europe I wouldn't know how to pay for this "battle of materials"!! I admire you! Good job

[@justmitchell17]

Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻

[@howitzeroutdoors]

Hope you spent the winter with that setup 😂 great video!

[@justmitchell17]

We got plenty of winter in the 9 days we spent in it.

[@Kluaneking]

That’s a pretty comfy camp! Man I’d live there!

[@howardemery8031]

Nice teamwork with the setup

[@justmitchell17]

It was definitely a team effort. Thanks for watching 👍🏻

[@beerbuzz62]

One of the best elk camp videos yet Thanks guys.2024 camp coming?

[@justmitchell17]

Thanks brother! No elk trip this year. May get to use it on a bear hunt in December. We will for sure use it again next year for antelope.

[@MAGAMOFO]

It's almost like a camp we set up in 2021 in the San Juan mountains. We have all the same things minus electric bikes. We made a heated shower shelter out of an eazy up and tarps.

[@erikjackson1777]

Very well done. Enjoyed it.

[@justmitchell17]

Thanks Erik 👍🏻

[@aelaroui]

Impressive, how much did everything cost?

[@tonymackey370]

Well thought out camp

[@justmitchell17]

Thanks!

[@vk08660]

Fantastic camp. Really enjoyed the video, thank you for sharing. Would you by chance be willing to post your full gear list? I'd like to add some of these elements to my deer camp, and would really appreciate a consolidated list of your gear.

[@justmitchell17]

Victor, Thanks for watching! If you send me an email at [e-mail] I’ll send you a copy.

[@outabeat]

I have a cold drink hack that has worked for us. We did it on the ski slopes. But you put all your beers in a paper bag and then put em in the snow or at the base of a tree. They don't freeze or turn to slush. It's magical. Now if you're in a single digit temperature climate I can't help ya with that. But the paper bag shit works! Oh, and Elk is by the thousands in Montana. Seriously they just walk through the yard. A town Marshall dropped on right off his front porch. Packs by the hundreds running a muck eating all the cattle's hay.

[@justmitchell17]

Wow. Now that is interesting. I’ll def have to give that a try next time. For science!

[@RaisedinAlaska]

Nice camp set up.

[@justmitchell17]

Thanks! Hope to bring it up your way in 2027

[@jjoutdoors2358]

Nice video, we just got back from CO for 2nd season. Looking to invest into this type of setup for out of state hunts. The amount of hotels I've stayed at would have already covered the cost. Thanks for some ideas.

[@justmitchell17]

On top of the cost savings, we saved 45 min to an hour of drive time each way from town. It was a much more efficient use of our limited time.

[@Jamie-cf8tn]

I hope you remembered your trail camera up in the tree!!!

[@justmitchell17]

Definitely. Got em put out for this year already 👍🏻

[@chuckb8324]

So glad you focused on these tasks and preparations! It’s all commonly skipped over. What’s the music artist?

[@justmitchell17]

Thanks! I’m unsure who to credit for the music. It’s a generic free music through my editing software.

[@chuckb8324]

No worries,… keep up the good work!… if you search wall tents on KZbin,.. there’s limited content. This focus on preparation is in a class of its own. I’m a rancher in Wyoming and the individuals we open up hunting to are all across the “table”… some prepared,.. others, no idea, of what to expect!… we should collaborate on this topic!!

[@cascadecordwood5573]

well done

[@justmitchell17]

Thanks for watching!

[@Chuck_cedar]

Love the video man! The only thing I will say is I can tell your from Florida! Your truck would have had no issue getting out of that 6” of snow, no need to shovel out the whole drive. But again love the video!

[@justmitchell17]

Thanks brother! Live and learn I guess. We had an issue in the week with the 4x4 on the truck acting up, and it was a decent incline with a fully loaded trailer. Better to be safe than sorry and we had a tight return window that didn’t involve getting stuck!

[@Chuck_cedar]

@@justmitchell17 would you recommend the solar powered generator?

[@justmitchell17]

@Chuck_cedar Most definitely. I’m gonna be posting some new videos related to it with an extra battery and an alternator charger, which will make the mobile hunting set up even better. For years I have been hesitant with lithium technology, but it has improved a bunch and now it’s a valuable option.

[@TeutonicNordwind]

The perfect camp! Nice set up. How long were you guys there? Why no vid of the actual hunts?

[@justmitchell17]

Thanks! I uploaded the video of the hunt to my channel. It’s the most recent video. Check it out!

[@TeutonicNordwind]

@@justmitchell17 Sweet! Tomorrow night's viewing. Time for bed. Morning is sprucing up a couple ground blinds for kick off of Michigan's firearm whitetail season Wednesday

[@jacob9675]

This was a great video. Was taking notes the whole time watching it. Could you share which Davis Tent size you went with? Could you link the model of the outhouse tent? And was the solar able to charge the Ecoboost or did you have to use the generator a few times as well?

[@justmitchell17]

16x20 w/ 7’ porch Outhouse- Ozark Trail from Walmart When we had sun, yes. But after day 3 it snowed a bunch and covered my panels. It also stayed pretty grey/cloudy until the end of the week. I believe we ran the generator twice when sunlight wasn’t an option. The little 2000 is the way to go. You can program the delta pro charge rate, and size it to maximize any generators max output without overloading it.

[@jacob9675]

@@justmitchell17perfect. Thank you.

[@dorrellbittinger5984]

Do you have a list of.materials taken and essentials?

[@theredflannelchannel7820]

Great camp! What part of Colorado?

[@justmitchell17]

Thanks! Central CO

[@lardneroutdoors]

What a set up, I thought we have a lot of gear. Organization is key

[@bnodine1]

Would you guys be willing to share your check list. This is an awesome video!!!!

[@justmitchell17]

Shoot me an email. I send it to you

[@ClaytonSensiba]

Looks freakin fun!

[@justmitchell17]

Quite fun. Can’t wait to get back. We have several big trips in the works for the next three hunting seasons. Hope to refine and improve on our system. Thanks for watching 👍🏻

[@derrickbullock7380]

Cool video. I need to find some guys willing to do that. I’ve never been elk hunting but ready to go.

[@justmitchell17]

Just do it. For years I said “one day” until one day I just decided to make it happen and planned it over the next 18 months. Never looked back, made plans, and made it happen.

[@IR8GRANDSRT8]

Take it from an Alaskan living in Montana, the best snow shovel is a stall shit shovel!

[@justmitchell17]

I’ll take it from someone who knows best👍🏻 thanks for watching

[@MrBthorman]

Love it!

[@madman432000]

I wish I could shrink my camp setup down a bit and make it easier/quicker to setup and takedown. I have nowhere near the stuff you have. Nice camp

[@justmitchell17]

Just depends on what kind of camping you want to do. I camp a lot out of an ultralight backpack (extremely minimal) We just wanted more comfort for the week. Took us about 4 hours to setup/tear down.

[@paulolsen7213]

nice setup. what do you use for your porch setup?

[@justmitchell17]

The porch was built into the tent from Davis. We ordered it with the extra poles and the rain fly to cover the 7’ overhang.

[@madman432000]

Joolca hottap with the shower stall would complete this. I have a 2 burner tabletop griddle that does not work well in cold, won't produce enough heat. I wonder about a covered area around the firepit, maybe a popup with a vented roof. I have one but don't think it would handle snow like that.

[@justmitchell17]

Huh. We had an issue with the griddle being too hot and burning on the camp chef 3 burner at 9700’. Had to turn it down some.

[@madman432000]

@@justmitchell17 Probably just a cheap griddle on my part. Cast iron griddle on camp stove works great.

[@Pilotc180]

Hell of a lot of work for a little bull

[@justmitchell17]

Thanks anyway for watching! Hope you now feel better about yourself.

[@sideshowbob2882]

What size is your wall tent?

[@justmitchell17]

16x20 with 7’ porch

[@JeffreySullivan-ir2wg]

Nice setup

[@justmitchell17]

Thanks!

[@feellnfroggy]

I made the freezer in the back of the trailer mistake once, loaded balanced and empty……filled it with meat, and forgot it’s the weight of a small cow. 8 hr trip turned into 24 it was so unstable.

[@justmitchell17]

It did fine as it was offset by all the other gear loaded over or in front of the axles. But you definitely have to consider how you load it for sure

[@bobanpen1]

Too much stuff. Running water in an elk camp?

[@justmitchell17]

We can certainly trim some equipment if space was an issue. The waterport wouldn’t be cut from that list though. Take from the video what you like, leave what you don’t. Everyone’s preferences and opinions are different 👍🏻

[@Pilotc180]

A hellava lot of work for a little bull

[@justmitchell17]

Well thanks for watching anyway! Hope you now feel better about yourself 👍🏻

[@stevetaylor6024]

Just got back from 2nd season rifle in Craig. It was brutal. The winter killed a lot of elk. The GMU is 13. Y'alls set up is definietly not single A.

[@justmitchell17]

Hunting was hard. Animals were definitely limited. We scrapped all week for the two bulls we killed.

[@edsando7705]

Male version of "high maintenance."

[@justmitchell17]

Driving straight through for 27 hours to sleep in a canvas tent on the side of mountain on public land DIY hunt in subzero temperatures with a foot of snow 45 minutes from the nearest town is the exact opposite of high maintenance. But thanks for watching👍🏻

[@joelwerre]

What a waste to not be allowed to make bone broth. I would not follow that bs

[@justmitchell17]

It definitely takes some planning, but CWD is a big deal. Interstate game violations is not something I want to be part of traveling through 6 different states.

[@michaelpickett1460]

What a bunch of horse 🐎 💩 Way too much money spent on frivolous and unnecessary crap.

[@justmitchell17]

All things are relative bro. The fact that you feel like your opinion should somehow arbitrarily apply to strangers on the internet is comical. Hope you feel better about yourself now 👍🏻

[@gunner4373]

The fact you have a million plus dollar operation helps. Stay out of colorado. You richies have destroyed the hunting.

[@justmitchell17]

I fail to see how the cost of our wall tent affects your hunt🤔 We’re just a couple hardworking guys who invest (several thousand dollars) in reusable gear so we can take one low budget DIY hunting trip a year across the county. OTC Colorado is the cheapest elk hunt in the country and we stayed on public land for free. Your bitter, resentful narrative doesn’t really fit here bud……

[@albertwassdeczege3933]

This makes me laugh 😂

[@kiotewolfer3278]

No dumbasses like you have destroyed the hunting in Colorado
