Inside Canyon de Chelly, Arizona

[@dianeredhouse1420]

Beautiful and awesome

[@wobblyotteroutdoors]

We concur. A fascinating place.

[@ddq57sm64]

Thank You Both for sharing this beautiful journey into place of the Old Ones...Every Rock is blessed with their carvings and inscriptions... A sacred place...

[@wobblyotteroutdoors]

You're welcome. It is such a special and beautiful place and we relished every moment.

[@lmitchell2776]

Very nice. Great video I have not seen a ant lion in along time.

[@wobblyotteroutdoors]

Thank you. Ant lions are interesting little creatures. Before this we didn't know of any critters that would specifically eat antlions.

Same, I encountered a skinwalker up close when I camped at the Coyote pass. Beings from all pantheons live there.

[@wobblyotteroutdoors]

Well that's terrifying. Sorry our video reminded you of that happening.

[@rettapine9500]

Boogy man of the rez

[@andy11ink]

What is a skinwalker?

[@wobblyotteroutdoors]

In the Navajo culture, a skin-walker is a witch who has the ability to turn into, possess, or disguise themselves as an animal. Source wikipedia: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin-walker

[@OverlandGeneration]

Nailed it! Great Video! Thanks Again...

[@wobblyotteroutdoors]

Wow! Thank you kindly.

[@MrWinger1951]

Was there about 10 years ago, and at that time we took the hiking trail down into the canyon and back up. Beautiful place. The “swastika” image used by native Americans is actually a mirror image (backwards facing) of that of nazi Germany. And as you point out is much older in its origin.

[@NATIONALJAYOGRAPHIC]

I found you through suggested videos. First your videos are fun to watch. You got some great shots and have some great editing ideas for me to learn. I just made a KZbin channel so I’m definitely doing my research. Thanks for all your help. - Keep it up! Just subbed!

[@wobblyotteroutdoors]

Thank you for the kind words and the sub. Best wishes of success with your channel.

[@TravelswithDelaney]

Great video and congratulations on hitting 1000 subscribers!!

[@wobblyotteroutdoors]

Awww, thank you!

[@johntuttle4486]

Was there nearby water for your campsite, or did you bring it all in via vehicle?

[@wobblyotteroutdoors]

We took in everything that we needed.

[@johntuttle4486]

@@wobblyotteroutdoors Thanks!

[@wobblyotteroutdoors]

You're welcome @John Tuttle. Access to the inside of Canyon de Chelly is regulated by the Navajo Nation. We went with our guide to sign in at an entrance office before entering the canyon. While inside the canyon, it was required that we were accompanied by our guide at all times - nearby at least. Our guide did make bottled water available to us, though we already had plenty. We were on the guide's property while staying overnight.

[@elanastahl619]

Thank you for discussing the swastika. A symbol which spans many cultures!

[@wobblyotteroutdoors]

You're welcome, Elana. Thank you for watching.

[@409rommel]

I was there many moons ago... 👍. Hows that Smittybilt RTT holding up?

[@wobblyotteroutdoors]

Cool! The little RTT is still doing well. We put it through several thunderstorms this past month and survived, so that was good.

[@scottmuck]

The Desert Fox!

[@Mechman0925]

Were you "brought" in or were you and your vehicle escorted in, curious as to why you used a ground tent not your RTT?

[@wobblyotteroutdoors]

The guide drove us in inside his vehicle.

[@TroutWest]

How much did you pay for the guided trip

[@wobblyotteroutdoors]

About $200 for two of us in 2018, for a 2-day tour with overnight stay in the canyon.

[@wobblyotteroutdoors]

Yay!

[@sabahattinklc7447]

👍

[@wobblyotteroutdoors]

Thank you.

[@airgaborpara3824]

Svastica not from Native Americans as a symbol. The sign from Nepal originally. Hitler believed that the Aria of Germans from the Himalaya.

[@wobblyotteroutdoors]

Thanks so much for the information! Interest how a symbol can have such a varied and storied past.

[@tomcat505]

Swastika symbol is and has been universal in every civilization around the world, not only Nepal. Nepal is only known for their Temple of Doom and human sacrifice in Indiana Jones

[@paulwiggins183]

Tamarisk is not indigenous.

[@wobblyotteroutdoors]

Thank you for the information, Paul. Dang it. Our guide noted to us that it was indigenous. I must have misunderstood and didn't triple verify it.

[@vireogilvus]

Yup. He may have misspoke, or you may have misheard, but it's invasive.

[@wobblyotteroutdoors]

That's terrible. Thank you for the info. I'll see if I can add a note on the video to that effect.

[@johntuttle4486]

Raccoons will eat just about anything!

[@wobblyotteroutdoors]

So true.

أريد أن أفهم ، والرد ، بشكل صحيح. ماذا تقصد بـ "لكن في حالة واحدة؟" [English: I want to understand, and reply, correctly. What do you mean by , "But in a single state."]
