@@positiveattitudebymichusa Thanks. I was hoping to find a campsite with that view. It was an amazing little trip.

@@goldfinger180024 Thanks, it’s been great for keeping gear out of the weather.

I always preferred having one to not having one as well.

@@gole8724 Hopefully your new one will hold up. I’m surprised mine has lasted as long as it has, especially after dropping it while limbing trees. They are super convenient for trail clearing and yard work.

@@ElectricDanielBoone Yes it is. I need to see it the snow now.

@@scottalpine maybe next week.

@@illyadmark3223 I can imagine that would be spectacular. I hope I can make it there again when the snow starts.

@@dandog7653 Thanks Dan. It was a popular day for that hike. Lots of people on the trail and I had rangers camping next to me so I didn’t do much talking. The rangers were snacking on stuff and the jays went from there site to mine then on to the next one 🤣. I definitely can’t hike like I used to but I try to get in as much as I can. Pretty rough road to this trail head but I may try it again in winter with snow.

@@wendingourway thanks. It’s been a hike I’ve wanted to do for a long time, definitely going back again.

That’s a good idea. After a few trial runs I’ll have to see about make some more permanent changes.

@@ElectricDanielBoone Thanks, I think it’ll work out great.

@@positiveattitudebymichusa Ha ha yeah, cats are goofy. I’m hoping to take him a couple snow trips this winter. He is always looking for something to chase.

@@WheresWiseman Thanks. Nope got rid of it. Downsized to a Frontier so I’m back to tents. I have (I think) seven tents so figured I’d start rotating through them. I tend to spend most of my time outside even in the winter so opted to for something that is more maneuverable on the smaller roads. Already have some custom pinstripes on it 🤣.

@@scottalpine 😅 well of course! Get a new rig, scratch the sh*t out of it lol. Then... No worries 😁

@@WheresWiseman Yup. I bought a new JK years ago and tore a fender flare off before I even got the plates for it 🤦‍♂️, totally worth though.

@@scottalpine 😂😂😂😂

@@goldfinger180024 Thanks. I think it’ll work out good.

@@dandog7653 I’m hoping snow is here sooner before later. I’m looking forward to trying it out for the first time in the mountains.

@@mediacommand Thanks. He’s grown up a bit but still full of energy.

@@wendingourway Thanks, hopefully the kitty supervisor will still approve when we go camp in the snow.

@@RevN3 Thanks. I’m hoping to give it a try as soon as it gets cold enough.

@@rdulaneyjr Thanks. I hope so.

@@venturececena6727 Hopefully next year will be different

@@dandog7653 Can’t beat the BLM and dispersed prices. 150 is crazy to just pitch a tent. I try to do off season days to save a bit of cash.

It’s a really great area with lots to see and do. I am hoping to get back there next year and spend even longer there. The resort has pretty much everything you would need to stay and have a good time and there’s a small town close by with a grocery store too.

@@rdulaneyjr It is pretty fun there. Thanks for watching.

@@ElectricDanielBoone That’s awesome, really good deal with the second battery.

Yup, but the important part is getting out there and giving a try.

@@positiveattitudebymichusa Thanks. Sometimes it’s just nice to outside and enjoy the time away from the hustle and bustle of life.

@@venturececena6727 Yup. Little flying fella was not friendly at all.

Thanks, they came out alright for a phone camera. Can’t go wrong with the ole classic brews.

@@jakemcclellan8399 Thanks Jake, I appreciate it.

@@dandog7653 Thanks. It was a great night for seeing stars. Yup I got Andromeda on there, not bad for a cell phone camera.

@@sirvozelo1 Yup. Not quite there for the pros unless there’s a ton of batteries available but for a little firewood cutting or clearing trees off the road this works great. I love my gas saws but I don’t always want to bring gas if I’m just heading out camping and don’t plan on doing a bunch of cutting.

@@scottalpine In my case and just been a homeowner I trying to completely going into battery power only, I feel it to be more convenient and simple however here is a huge problem for me and all Stihl owners, batteries are priced like gold one AP500S battery costs around 500 Eur.

@@sirvozelo1 Yeah the batteries are very expensive. It makes it hard to switch to battery power only when gas is so much cheaper and more convenient.

@@positiveattitudebymichusa Yup. I always try to make the most of the trips even when they don’t go as planned.

Sometimes plans go awry but then I found a great campsite so it worked out pretty good for me. Fortunately I tent to over prepare so I was in better shape for a solo trip than they were, we decided to not travel separately next time 😂.

Nope, got rid of them. I thought with the project m I would spend more time inside it (especially in winter) but found that not to be the case. I decided to get a smaller vehicle and just go back to tents. I have several tents for different seasons so not that big of a deal to me. Definitely going to be doing more hot tenting this winter now though.

@scottalpine oh wow buddy that's crazy but all personal. I have an OVRLND camper and same here, I am always outside of it.

Yeah the shelves were a pain but also nice sometimes but the in the future if I were to go with another pop up camper I would not want the shelves. Better to have a blank slate and just build out the interior. The project M is a really solid unit but there’s a lot of competition out there now. I’d go with whatever company gives you the best bang for your buck. Depending on how much you run it a 450 watt heater will burn through power but definitely give it a try before going all out on another system. Diesel heaters are great for dry heat but they are bulky and can be messy plus the ticking from the pump can be irritating, Ive also used a Wave 3 and a Mr heater but they add a bit of moisture inside not too bad if you air it out and keep a vent or window cracked. A 12v electric blanket is great for sleeping too, it’ll keep you warm but the cabin will still be cold.

Thanks, it was a really nice spot.

@@rdulaneyjr If only there was a way for you to prove me wrong.

@@wendingourway Thanks. Definitely have to be comfortable being isolated and know when to turn back on solo cave adventures.

@@jakemcclellan8399 Thanks. I’ve always liked exploring caves. A lot of trails have seen hundreds or 10s of thousands of people but caves are much less traveled so feels a bit more unique of an experience.

Thanks! It was a fun adventure in there. Someday I’ll make it to the end. It was quite a bit larger than I had thought it would be and having side tunnels to explore was a nice bonus. I kinda figured when I took one that I would get turned around a bit on the way back. “Moron registers” I like that, very fitting. I was looking at some cave videos in another state and they were covered in multiple layers of graffiti, I’m glad ours aren’t that poor treated. I can see why the caving communities are so secretive about locations.

@@scottalpine ...or any pristine location. I hate to see it. Only takes a few as you know.

@@dandog7653 Yup exactly, though I do appreciate all the nice drone shots from people that like to show off a spot I might want to investigate 😂.

@@positiveattitudebymichusa Thanks, it was a great trip.

@@ElectricDanielBoone So far the frontier has been great. I do miss having the longer bed at times but the maneuverability and better mileage is fantastic. I always prefer the manual locking differential, I like to pick when I want it locked or open. I’ve seen the softroading the west channel, I believe he has a pro 4x which has a locking differential and better suspension for off-road. I didn’t want the pro4x because if I want to modify it later I would probably be changing some of those components so better off to start with a regular setup and go from there in my mind anyways. The DJI mic is great. It’s not cheap but does a great job, I mostly just need it for windy conditions or if I’m farther away from the camera. I use my phone to film everything and it has a pretty good mic on it. It’s an IPhone 15 Pro Max. I film and edit everything on my phone.

@@ElectricDanielBoone It was great, especially on a hot day. Thanks for watching and commenting.

@@ElectricDanielBoone yes it was a pleasant surprise to see a dispersed site that is very well taken care of. I’ve been to that spot a few times over the years and it’s usually pretty clean.

@@ElectricDanielBoone Knee replacements are no joke. My dad had one done. Hope it’s healing up well for you. Yup I got rid of the big truck for a smaller one, so back to tent camping now. Drone is working good, I don’t use it as much as I thought I would but it’s still nice to have. The 350i is still going strong, just used it a couple weeks ago during a woodshed roof repair. The caves were awesome, i was also surprised by how huge they were. I always like exploring the hidden places.

@@scottalpine I’m thinking hard about getting a drone too. I want one that’ll track our Jeep so I don’t have to do so much camera setup back and forth. The knee deal is going to limit me for a while, so a drone should help me out. Only two weeks out from surgery, so I have a long way to go! I want to start another YT channel dedicated to forest fuel reduction. YT seems to have a hard time when our video subjects vary much at all. Way more views on my Jeep’s new tires than my new e-chainsaw. YT gets confused and just seems to give up on the channel. DLWoregon will be Jeep stuff, Skyline Quiet Forests Initiative will be fuel reduction and Oregon Dan is Outside will more camping/hiking ⛺️ maybe. I have enough video footage to re-edit and post for months. Still getting through your latest! 👍

@@ElectricDanielBoone Drones are pretty handy for not haven’t to go back for the camera and some great sky shots too. I think YT likes to push more of the sponsored vids or the videos promoting products. Seems like the channels that are going to potentially generate money for YT are the ones that get the most views. I don’t worry about it too much, I just throw videos up and if folks want to watch great, if not that’s ok too. I’ll keep an eye out for your other channel(s). At least while you’re healing up you can go through all that video footage.

Yes it is a shame when a few bad apples ruin something for the rest of us. Some folks still need adult supervision as adults.

Thanks, just doing what I can when I come across it.

It is very nice there. Thanks for watching.

I don’t see it. I see different shades of rocks. Or it could be my imaginary friend finally casting a shadow.

Yup, I’ve seen several roads and sites get closed over the years. Too many people in a land of confusion. It doesn’t take much effort to pack out trash from a trip, a few bad apples are ruining it for the rest of us.

Thanks. Well without being specific there’s usually some places to camp in the Greenwater area in the mid cascades and some places in the Cougar area more south, up north might try around Baker Lake.

@@scottalpine thanks! I will check them out.
