Skito Saddle Pads
I was in the market for a new saddle pad after my old one wore out.
Agnes, my riding mule, has a bad back and it makes a big difference to have a good saddle pad.

Ellis Canvas Tents
I reached out to Ellis Canvas Tents because I was just not too happy with my sleep system. I had seen their products before and was really impressed with the "Cowboy Bedroll". They sent me one to try and can say that so far it is the best I have used for Cowboy Camping.
Soon I hope I can get one of their Canvas Tents

Mountain Ridge Gear
I have been using Mountain Ridge Gear for many years now. From their Saddle Bags, Horn Bags and all the accessories I haven't found anything yet that is as well thought out and functional as their gear. Now I have a pair of their pack panniers and love them

As an older fellow, you still move around pretty well. Sitting on the ground and sleeping under the stars on the earth is not easy for a senior. Kudos to you, good video. I’m not in a hurry either, brother!
That mule can sure move!
I love watching the Donkeys.
My thought, also!!
You kept saying that you were not in a hurry. Then came Bonnie. Go go go.
Loved it.
God bless ❤
lol yes she is always in a hurry Thanks
I love seeing the old dwellings . It's nice having friends that can help you out with directions! I appreciate you taking us on your journey! 💯🙏🏼
Thanks .. yes I hope I can find the others
YES..........and "Imagine" how years ago they "Went" about their every day life etc...............sends the old imagination around and around.......
I just happened across your videos today.
64 year old horse/cow veterinarian. Was recently forced into retirement due to health and recently put into hospice. Ill never get back out to the woods to hunt again but i dearly love watching these videos...living vicariously i guess.
Be careful and
get some fat off that dog! 😅 @BrettVaughnB100
I am having a hard day, you made my day a bit better, thanks for sharing your adventures with us.
You are so welcome thanks for watching ..!
Know how you feel, I've had a hard 2 months
Be glad when Fall gets here
You’ve got to love messengers. I miss the days of telling your family you plan on 5 days but don’t start worrying for 7. I switched to zoleo so now I have two things that can go wrong. The good thing is that I’m so bad at remembering to send out messages they don’t worry anymore. Thanks for sharing the video.
My wife is getting that way lol .. Thanks
@@BrettVaughnB100
All my life it just didn't matter, every time I was getting ready to Go Off somewhere, My Grandma, My Mom, my Wife, they'd all say the same thing every time, You be Careful Now.
Well I'm still here, and I been one of the most Careless person on the Planet...😮🎉😂
The cliff dwellings are facinating. Just imagine the people that lived there. Beautiful creek and beautiful country. Thanks for taking us along.
That was a pretty cool one ! Beautiful spot with that creek down below. I watch Desert Drifter too ! Young Buck , climbing those cliffs is no big deal to him . WE been there , back when we were bullet proof and tuff as nails. 8 ) Don't be over doing it out there brother ! Take care !
Thank you .. yes goes to some pretty rough places ..
Man that country sure is green. I appreciate you slowing down, stopping and taking us exploring. I've been to the Gila Cliff Dwellings, I'd sure like to see some more inaccessible or less explored ones.
Ol Bonnie has places to go and things to see! Kinda feel sorry for Clyde trying to keep up with her. 😂 Enjoy watching you explore the Gila! Onward and upward!
Really liked the desert drifter name drop… It’s funny but I bet we all watch the same stuff.
I was going to say the same thing! When he said he wasn’t “no Desert Drifter” I laughed because I watch his channel too. I think you did a great job, Brett, with showing us this cliff house. Thank you for that! And P.S.-- I always do a double take to see if the video is in fast forward because Bonnie walks so fast! Wish my trail horse moved out like that 😅
Nice videos. Be careful up them hills. You were blowing like a overworked mule😂
lol I got too fat this last year .. I will be working on that Thanks
Talking and walking on a FLAT surface will get you short winded.
Man! I'd ride with you any day....your mule really walks out! I get so tired of rides that just poke along that I just ride out and wait for them up the trail. Love looking through head bobbing, tack rustling on a good walking equine.
We have to call you “Otis”, because Fat Lori thinks of you as the elevator!🐶😂
lol all she does is look at me now when its time to get out .. spoiled lol Thanks
She sure has him trained! 😂
You struck pure gold with the mules want to go have to see out for the good times. Thanks for taking us along.
This made me wish I could have been there! Beautiful place for a small village. Clean water, shelter, they probably had gardens growing. Just beautiful!!
Really nice fire and a good story about the west fork. Loved that the dogs all got a taste of ribeye Thank You .
Watch all your videos, but pack trips are special. Love the Gila. My dad, brother and I had a tradition of steaks the first night. Good memories. Thanks and take care.
One of the drawbacks of satellite messengers is you’re supposed to have a clear view of the sky overhead.
Love your content. You get a comment and like from all the time.
I'm 100% sure those animals enjoy exploring the mountains, rivers, the woods, the deserts and whatever else you go,
mules don't enjoy being enclosed in a corral they rather be walking places far away,
hound dogs rather be outdoors walking around getting tired,
all your animals look healthy and happy. 🐕🐎
Loved seeing the old cliff dwelling. Always facinating. Good mules, good dogs, good ride! Thanks for taking us along!
That is living ☺️ I can't wait for your videos.☺️❤️
Linda from Missouri 👍😁
Thank you Linda!!
This was one of the most interesting ancient ruins that you have found…. so much history here can’t begin to tell
My grandpa was a real cowboy! He was educated until around 13 but had to go to work herding cattle and daily survival. I was definitely 100 years to late. Working offshore in the oilfield and being away from family 6 months out of the year. Wish it was in the woods, my safe space. Lol
Those Membres Peoples were very artistic and their Mogollon style pottery are among the most beautiful and unique in the Americas 💥
Thanks so much for the great ride along and what an amazing peaceful place to live hundreds of years ago 🙏
Fortunately the Gila Wilderness (worlds first) remains quite pristine compared to much of our Grear Blue Spaceship 🌍 🌎
🙏✝️🇺🇸
thank you i enjoy the ride along.
See you next time. 🐎🐎👍
Here we go again. This time cooler climate, or should be. Fast traveling mule ! Brett, I worry that hi rise stove is going to tip over…such a hassle ….get a little foldable alcohol pellet burner. I only say this,because I am much older, 🤦🏻♂️. But , not nearly as experienced at what you do….the hi tech Mule & Hound man ! 👍. Great country you’re traveling….old ruins 👍. Thanks Cowboy !
It has little legs on it that keep it from tipping over .. If I had time I would just use the kettle on the fire but I need my coffee first thing lol .. Thank you !
I remember Big Agnus some days you had to peddle her a little. Bonnie sure seems to walk out. Great stuff and a fun watch Brett.
Yes I did .. but not Bonnie ..thanks
Alright 👍🏼 perfect timing, just got my 🍿 made!!
Thank you for your low drama videos. I look forward to every one of them. They're relaxing and easy to watch. 👍
Glad you like them! Thank you
What a beautiful area. So peaceful. ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for bringing your adventures and sharing the experiences. Greatly appreciated.
I have always wanted to explore the Gila Wilderness ever since I was a young boy. I grew up exploring the Jemez, Pecos, and Lincoln National Forrests. Thank you for allowing us to tag along!
The history and education and adventure in to the desert is awesome I lived in the high desert as a kid it was the best place to grow up zero drama from the city people
Ain't you worried about rattle snakes sleeping in the open like that, I would lol! Love the video thanks
I don't really think about it .. .. and I have my dogs with me .. Thanks
To paraphrase Douglas Adams - "Time is relative, Departure time, doubly so." You are retired (welcome friend), you have all the time in the world...
Man Bonnie was flat delivering the mail!!!
Lol Clide was like slow down we been wet before lmbo good video 👍 rub Fat Lorries belly 😊
Love your videos
Not in a hurry !!!??
Bonnie sure is and Clyde sure is trying to keep up . lol
Coolest channel on TH-cam 👍 keep on keeping on Brett
Thank you !!
Wasting time is part of getting old, a good friend and I were talking about it the other day, he’s several years older than I and I’m 75. Thanks for sharing
Man I know that feeling of setting up camp late. Not fun. Good job of getting it done though. ❤
Nice trip. I also have to tell myself I'm not in a hurry pretty often. Thanks for the video.
I guess it comes from being in business for myself for so many years .. now I have to learn to take my time .. Thanks and slow down lol
Great trip, old Clyde is one muscled up guy. That backend has power.
He does have some power .. Thanks Todd
Great video bud. Bonnie is doing great n clyde is lookin good two. So glad you found two good mules bud.
Thanks 👍 Thad yes so far so good
We recently discovered your wonderful channel. My husband retired from the Army at WSMR in ‘95. 30 years. So we have been to the Gila cliff dwellings. Fascinating. Stay safe and keep them coming.
Thank you I will try
So glad I found this channel, I just love it! Thank you an keep those mules amoving
That mule really steps out , my dad had one the was out of a Tennessee walking mare .
Fantastic video. I grew up in NW New Mexico, born there in 52, and spent a lot of time exploring the ruins up there years ago before the population grew in the region. I'm really looking forward to your next trip to find the other ruins. Thanks for sharing!
You bet thanks for watching
Thanks for bringing us city folk into the past ways of country life. I need to become a country boy but too scared to switch my life 180 degrees 🤣🤣
I would be scared in a big city .. Thanks
Boy that mule can boogie! Love your videos! 😎
Awesome dwellings ! I used to oilfield truck hauling rigs, misc, oilfield equipment. I've never been down in the southwest. Actually I never felt real comfortable in New Mexico. Strange happenings in that state. Thanks, beautiful scenery and camp.
Thank you for sharing. You are making my dreams come true. Thank your wife for me too.
I will .. Thanks
nice lookin' country up there Bret....nice and green, some trees for shade....don't get much bettern that....nice video Pard....Thanks ! and take care.....OnWard.........
Just got to watch your video .. I just got back with my wife from a 12 day trip to the San Juan Mountains in Colorado.. Silver Jack Reservoir, then on to Taylor Park .. my Sabbatical.. I enjoyed the mountains,cool dry air , and wearing myself out catching mountain trout .. no mules but took my RMaxx and rode a lot of those trails out to those high mountains..
I really enjoyed your camping trip,and I really liked the old folks Cliff Dwelling !!
The black,mealy nose molly is a traveling jessie !! lol .. that’s the kind I love to ride .. one that will cover some real estate ..
well , Onward and Upward is the Watchword !!
Im so glad i saw your video tonight (posted an hr ago). Your videos bring me a sense of peace. As you know life can be so hard at times. Its nice for an hr to get my mind off things. Todays day 31 of dads hospice (hes decided to stay home), i live an hr drive each way and am the sole caregiver for my disabled wife and our non verbal autistic 8 year old son. Its been difficult balancing everyone's needs.
I just wanted to say thank you and share that your videos do more than just entertain.
Son stay strong and encourage. I know it’s a difficult time for you. I am praying that God will send you a helping hand in your struggle to juggle the many tasks that on your to do list 🙏🏽
Shows your all class caring for loved ones many turn their heads. If your dad starts to show odd behavior slurred speech ect could be a urinary tract infection they really reek havoc on the elderly/ my nana recently past but I cared for here for the last 5 or 6 years and it was a blessing to be warned about the UTI's she would get real restless seem agitated angry and I would call doctor or tell hospice for a test or they have strips that work pretty good I found on Amazon but every time she was positive and within couple days she would be back to herself again. I believe they are overlooked and the symptoms blamed on Alzheimer's. I also found coconut water the best thing to keep her hydrated. Wish all the strength and blessings one thing I always kept reminding myself was to care for others sometimes you need to take time for ourselves even if it's a hour.
@@bettyhudson979 thank you Betty
@@caseG80 thank you. I'll keep an eye out, that's crazy that a urinary infection can cause that. I agree it would be easy to overlook.
It took me a while in life to learn what's truly important. I'm glad I did eventually learn before it was to late. I'm grateful that him and I got to really talk and forgive each other over past problems. I had a rough childhood. He didn't give up drinking until 1998 (I was 18 and moved out after my 2 older sisters already moved) I then had my addiction issues (I have 14 years clean from everything).
I wanted my son to know his grampa (poppy). I'm a believer that there's a better place after this one. Sorry for my long reply
Your doing a very good thing that takes a very good person glad I can help in some small way .. God Bless you and stay I'm sure you will be rewarded
Absolutely love these videos. Excited to see some more Gila exploration of those other dwellings! I always wondered how many more there were hidden up some of those branch canyons. I always figured there had to be one on the west side of the Black Range somewhere along Black Canyon Creek (or the East Fork), its one of the only perennial streams out there
In the past I had a Qualcomm satellite system in my truck. It would loose signal in heavy rain or snow storms. I sure enjoyed seeing those cliff dwellings Brett. Thanks for checking it out. You take care.🇺🇲🌲🔥🔪
Coffee, steak, tobacco in the mountains -- life is good. Great adventure. Thanks
You have got to remember, the older we get the more time it takes to get ready, i even have to spend more time thinking about gettin ready, nice trip thanks for sharing ............
That is true ... thinking about getting ready lol Your welcome and thank you!
Hello I love your adventures and what set you apart from others on TH-cam is that you always remember to give thanks to the Lord. I noticed you left that out in this video 😢..... I hope that you're still strong if your faith.... God bless you!
Thanks for taking us with you so appreciate it stuff I will never get ti see unless you take me and others with you thanks so much
Been waiting all day for this from your friend from Alabama
Thank you another great video looking forward to the next one 👍 it’s good to see your getting out.
Outdoor boys Arizonia Drifter and know I have you locked in. Great 3 channels on the Great outdoors. Couldn't as for a better 3 channels. Ty stay safe and God Speed.
Xcellent 😊😊
As expected , awesome.
“If I don’t come back in 5 days, send a party after me” that’s what I tell my wife haha
She asked how she’ll know where to send a party and I tell her “follow the mule $hi!”
I know I use to just leave and be gone .... but now everyone is so accustomed to staying in touch every minute of the day .. Thanks Hayden we need to talk again soon
Nice area. I really enjoy the overnight trips.
I just found your channel this morning with my coffee and I love the way you pack and camp essentially like in days past . Very entertaining thank you .
Awesome! Thank you!
I have spent a few nights in that spot. Love your videos. Appreciate you taking us along for the ride.
Yes beautiful place .. Thanks
very glad to go where you go thanks
You, sir, are truly living. You’re doing exactly what I wish I could be doing: spending your days in nature exploring. Unfortunately, I spend my days trying to make money just to exist. I love your videos.
I've been there myself and I understand .. thank you and stay after it ..
You know how to camp !!!!
I like the simplicity on how ya go about everything. Ya make me feel like I’m there avin a beer smoke and conversation with ya. Well done fella
Good thank you .. I think simple is best myself
@@BrettVaughnB100 ya good.. just be who ya are it’s actually refreshing seeing people just being who they are.. ya remind me of myself, I must be old too.. tc..
At 64, diabetic and 5 years of foot issues, with a big toe and 2nd toe amputated, I wish I could do what you're doing. My father, Deanel Chism was born in 1914, moved to Arizona in 1942 with 2, 19 hands tall draft mules, and bought a donkey. He was a prospector and did a lot of what you're doing. As the 7th of 7 siblings I went prospecting with him from around the age of 6, but only by his 1953 and 1952 Jeep pickups, until 1990 when we were forced to close our mining camp by the BLM and the USFS.
Sounds like some good memories .. Thanks
I have only seen two of your post and i
I have enjoyed your travels and your stories from passed adventures
Awesome, thank you!
Beautiful country. Great trek. Thanks for bringing us along.
I’ve had to make camp in the dark during Search & Rescue operations. Sitting up in the dark always sucked.
👍👍
It really does .. and I just should of left earlier .. my fault lol Thanks
Once again another awesome video! A couple of questions, what all do you pack in with you and what’s the total weight? How far are you going in?
I am going to make a gear video soon .. I only went in a 4 or 5 miles I guess .. I came out another way it was about 7 miles .. my panniers loaded don' weigh over 25 lbs each .. I might change my bedroll though .. I would like to go with everything in the panniers and no top load so I don't have to throw a hitch .. be lot fast when I make some more long rides ... Thanks
Love hearing clippity-clops of horsie hooves and their breathing🧡
Really cool thanks for taking on the journey to see the old cliff dwellings!
Thanks for another enjoyable ride and good footage!
"KEEP ON KEEPIN ON"
That angle of the cliffside in first bit was groovy. Made my stomach feel buzzy. Good video man. I like the cut a yur jib.
The video quality is superb.
Read too much news. Decided I needed to unwind so clicked on your newest I've been saving. Thanks Getting inspired and might go on a remote wilderness boat camping trip in a few days. Might even film. Summers are short here.
Do it !! Upload it so we can watch it .. Thanks
Great camp and the cliff dwelling was very interesting. I like when you kept reminding yourself to slow down. It reminds me of a friend I hunted with who use to say while sitting in hunting camp while enjoying the serenity, “I wonder what the po folk are doing”.
Man! Your riding mule sure moves out!! Your pack mule is about the same color as my mare, with the exception that mine has a dark mane & tail. I wish I had a place like that nearby to go explore on horseback. My mare is still young and green, so not ready for that level of terrain yet.. I wouldn’t want to get tossed & stranded..LOL. Hope to hit some trails with her soon!
You sound like me when when you’re breathing that’s when I try to do everything I can. I love doing what you’re doing right now in the mountains.
lol Yeah I got a little fat and the mic is real close to my mouth Thanks yes love the mountains
The little windows, the lower one lets air in, and the upper ones let smoke out.
Ahh yes that makes sense .. Thanks
@BrettVaughnB100 your welcome
Looks like your mules are doing well. Glad you can get out now. Keep the videos coming. Look forward all of them. Thanks!
Thanks this was soothing to me and it was exciting.
I'm not in a hurry, I'm not in a hurry, I'm not in a hurry....LOL...Good lord you sound like me reminding myself that everything doesn't have to be a rush rush rush...when did we forget how to relax??...safe travels friend.
I know ... takes a while to learn how to slow down .. Thanks
Great video, thanks for sharing.
We have always called that 3 mile dwelling. Great video.
Thanks for that great trip !!
Had a great memory with husband and my now deceased son in the Gila. Will carry it with me forever.
So many questions! What was your fire starter? What's on your dog's collars? And wasn't there anything on the ground the mules like to eat that you didn't steak them out? Thanks for the adventure!
I think I used vaseline and cotton balls .. there was grass but also a steep bluff I just grained them in feed bag didn't want to take a chance .. collars are for tracking the hounds .. I always stay with them but if they hit a scent and go someplace I can't get to I can find them .. for safety of the dogs .. Thanks for watching
Oh my lawd. Sleeping on the ground. How barbaric. And cooking on a fire? Double barbaric. And those poor dogs eating ribeye? Goodness grief here in the burbs we have doordash for sparkling water and cavier for Lord Williford our scotchirishmexicanjapanese hairless dog. Just an absolute barbarian sir. Congratulations on living the good life that so many people caught up in the rat race will never understand.
That's way too funny 😂😂😂 LMAO...
Love it all!
Yet another great vid Brett, I watch all your content as well as you stories and tails show.. That right there is some beautiful country your in right there. Thanks for taking us along for the ride.
