What a great video, thanks for sharing!

Went to Hillsboro Peak today. It was a great hike. Thanks for the info

Are those Mexican wolves? What caliber sidearm do you carry?

I lived on the GOS in 1965-67 something like that I love hearing stories about it I wish I would’ve listened more as a kid my step grandpa was Hub Estes and grandma was Boots Estes they owned it for a while

One of my favorite trips ever was climbing up to Touch-Me-Not and hiking over to Baldy. That road up to Green Mountain is pretty steep!

That is ridiculous you can't free-camp overnight in there...

I have seen elk travelling through that area but they were in the creek bottoms of Ponil creek. South and east of Cimmeron. The UU bar area is supposed to be full of elk as well. Thanks for posting a great look at that area!

Ty, if you purchase an extra tube and longer blade from Wyoming Knife, you can turn that saw into the longer model for those bigger logs....

I've been there! Great trip! I packed in over a dozen years ago, with the authors. It's rough country. Great History. Read Hidden Treasures of the Black Range by Marshall Bulle and Larry Ditzer.

Lmao that mule knows where to make camp and rest lol😂

Glad you found that book. I thought it was cool how they compared Adam's map with photos of the area,

Let’s also not forget, the black fire was human caused carelessness, and there has been no official identification of the person or people who did it. So no civil remedy available for the rest of the residents impacted. Thanks USFS, but its widely known a wealthy environmental organization was up camping and checking canyons at the time. Every other forest was closed to camping die to the drought, but we coddle certain organizations.

The Diamond bar allotment was still the ranch, the USFS had an agreement, when they bought the place, to improve tanks for watering, but when the local greens decided they didn’t approve, the USFS coddled them and started the process to destroy the historic Diamond Bar, with zero consideration of the investment made by Kit and Sherry. So basically the UsFS stole the allotment and purchased rights in it from them. It was against the law, but it hardly matters with the full justice system backing these agencies.

Hey Ty Lee your what every red blooded American appreciates and respects,this is the way our country was founded by horse mule and wagons, it’s very refreshing to see a young man doing what you do. thanks again for putting out these videos they are very good for our younger people.

my edc is a colt mod 1911a1 made in 1942 that was converted to a target pistol for the national match at camp perry. old is good wen it comes to firearms!

Adding dowsing to your exploration activities will give more substantive information about the endeavor being undertaken. In the 1970's my father and I reverse engineered the physics involved in dowsing (the same physics that energizes the alarm on electronic metal detectors), and we invented the modern light weight ball bearing dowsing rod for applying dowsing physics in locating our old core-drill on the exact center of gold and silver veins, that are buried under 200 feet of glacier rock and till, which worked out perfectly for us. I wrote the book to teach the world how to apply physics in dowsing. My book: The Art of Dowsing - Separating Science from Superstition ($14.95), by Michael Fercik, explains all the physics involved in dowsing and teaches how to build the modern light weight ball dowsing rod, which is the only dowsing rod that accurately gauges the element being dowsed by pitting the energy of gravity against the energizing of the pure one-tenth ounce dowsing rod load that is tapped onto the ELEVATED acetylene welding rod, which free spins on ball bearings. This precisely gauges the dowsing of all edges, exact center, depth buried with angle of deposition, and most important is grading or deciphering the amount of the dowsed element that is contained in the elemental mass being dowsed. Anybody can become a professional dowser by practicing my book's dowsing lessons of buried pipelines and electrical cables, tunnels and voids, precious and base metal placer and lode deposits, dowsing for treasure, dowsing for any element, amplified long distance dowsing from a moving vehicle, and dowsing on water from a boat. I hope dowsing enriches your life intellectually and financially.

Above the campground there were a bunch of beaver ponds re-wilding the canyon last time I hiked it.

A very good video, I saw another video you done of the hila wilderness and an old cabin, hey we really enjoy your videos thankyou great job.

What happened To that family is called government Communist yes, look what happened to Colorado. It is so bad now to be a beautiful place to be run by a bunch of Social’s.

very enjoyable content, one of them small electric chainsaws would have been helpful

Great to see an old gun still getting used for it's designed purpose. John Browning would be proud of you!

Awesome, hiked down into the Las Animas creek in that area one time back in the early 1990's. Toughest hike of all time for me. Super cool in the canyon bottoms and even caught some cutthroats. A real adventure! Great video! Brought back some great memories.

Good seeing that you're still going strong Ty .. Best wishes from an old Archery Hut friend

I’ve heard a lot of stories about black range have you ever had any weird encounters or something you couldn’t really explain while in there? We deer hunted south of there a few yrs back really pretty country out there .

Thanks for another great video, now I know why you were out of service for a couple of days. That's why I go to some of the places I do, just to be out of service. Where those raspberries or rose hips that would give you the runs? I got a good laugh out of that. Thanks again for sharing, I hope to see some of that country myself some day.

I've enjoyed all your videos. This one is a masterpiece I love that country up there and I've heard those stories and I am impressed I think rough is the word for that country I think that's why I always really liked that country and the whole gila keep riding. Be safe and God bless. Oh and PS if I was young enough to use them, I'd buy those good mountain horses. They're worth more than a good mule

Heard about you from Brett Vaughn, and happy to have watched your travels. I’ve lived all over southern New Mexico most of my life. I still do a lot of exploring, but not in the mountains or wilderness areas. Thanks for sharing.

I like your videos: I love exploring the remote corners of the Black Range. Not many people get out there. Question for you: was there water at Reed's Meadow?

Just curious what all do you take with you on the solo trips on the two pack animals? Had me laughing at the group discussion on riding or hiking. Would love to see a video of a full breakdown of what you take with you with two vs one etc. Great videos and I especially like the history you know of the area!

Ty, obviously you found and read the book. Was it by any chance autographed by the authors? I found mine in Hillsboro at the museum and it was autographed. Perhaps the authors are living in that area or the museum personnel may have an idea on their whereabouts.

Ty, I'm the guy that made the book recommendation. Hope you enjoyed the book and glad you investigated. A great video. I had read it was rough getting up there and you proved it. Always wondered if the fires might have made it a little easier or perhaps a current days drone might reveal a few more clues.

Thanks for sharing! Would love to do some of your rides. On that part where the trail was eroding away, could you go up the creek instead? Just curious. Bushwhacking with a pack string is a biotch!

Love your videos Ty That is some rough country. I grew up deer hunting that with my dad at 10 ten year's of age. Loved the stories

This was great video would love to be considered for the give away. Have compound but would really like to get into more traditional as I am trying to simplify my life and how I do things. Plus as Retired military I am always looking for a new challenge. Again thanks for the awesome video

To be honest, my butt hole puckered watching you drive the mag tube hanger off the barrel.

Nice Rifle! They were made for shooting. You might have erased 100 years of memories but now you can make another 100 years worth.

If that gun letters to that barrel it was worth enough to buy you at least ten modern lever action rifles... long barrels are rare. So why buy an old antique and destroy it? Why did you destroy a man's rifle who's wife interested you to take care of? Also why did you make a new stock? There is a stock finish for Winchester stocks called Winchester red... it is a walnut red tented linseed oil stain that you rub in. Also why blue the action, lever, and but plate? they are supposed to be color Case hardened. Don't do this. If you want to do weird stuff to rifles they sell new ones.... Buy one of those and break out the sand paper.

Did you ever give this bow away?

I'm very impressed.

Yep, hunted Coues all my life and that is how I have always pronounced it...and heard it pronounced in Arizona.

DANG. Is this self-taught or did you learn from someone?

in the early seventies i ended up at the cliff dwelling and hiked up the gila river. needing a drink i noticed a seep of water comming off a rock face along the river. when i got to the seep their was a rock lined bath tub full of hot water hidden behind some bushes. i have often wondered if this is a well know spot.

Respect.

Bravo !

If one has good woodworking skills, the Samick is a good choice for reworking the riser for a custom fit. If you screwed up the mod, then a replacement is easy and inexpensive too. Imagine tinkering with a custom bow and risking hundreds of $ as well!

Great job on the restomod! Looks good!

Well, it doesn't matter what I think, it is your rifle and you did a great job of everything you did. One thing that I think you should do different, is how you have it hung on the saddle. If you have it hung out the back it can slide out when you climb a steep hill especially if your horse lunges up the hill. Also if the back strap breaks or comes undone, you might not notice( a friend of mine lost his expensive rifle on the trail and a pack horse stepped on it). I prefer to carry a carbine(1905 made 94 in 30 WCF.) on my saddle, and carry it on the right side at a very steep angle. I envy your stock building skill, since I have 2 94's that need a new rear stock(your cast off from this rifle is far nicer than my current stock). Glad to see that you use it, my older rifle was made in 1898 and still sees some range use.

How are you almost out of arrows

Your son will treasure it and this video! Priceless 👍🏽😊❤️🇺🇸

One of the few trips I never finished lol, almost died on that trail. Right at the last curve up to the peak, in March during COVID shutdowns, I was hiking up there alone. Stepped over a fallen tree and caught my pant leg on a branch sticking out and flipped over into the massive snow pile the trees were on top of. I was upside down for about 3 minutes nearly unable to breathe because I knocked the wind out of myself, and couldn't dig myself out. Eventually figured out how to wiggle around right to get air, move more, and dig myself out. That's like 10 miles up too so I had to hike another 10 miles back down... Never went back up to that trail. God is it beautiful though.
