Your point about the blending of modern equipment and amenities with bush craft skills was well-stated. Beautiful country. Thanks for bringing us along.
Another great adventure Casey, your channel is one of the best around for bushcraft and adventure. ‘Bush Tucker Man’, Major Les Hiddins is one of the icons of Australian bushcraft and his old shows are just as good as when he made them back in the 80s. One of the reasons we have a Land Rover LOL. All the best mate, safe travels and look forward to you next! Warren and Colleen, Queensland, Australia.
There's something special about mountain meadows. Thank you for showing us your cooking gear. Versatility seems to be the key. Too, the various ways you set up campfires is most helpful. I really like your cooking platform - its simplicity and maneuverability. These videos are much appreciated and enjoyed.
Amazing that the old water trough and firepit are still around! I love you taking us along to explore these forgotten areas of the Oregon trail. Thank you for that! My wallet screams every time you show camping gear..... Thanks for sharing!
Ha! Thanks my friend. I was pretty surprised to stumble on those troughs. Not too many of those old hand dug wooden water troughs around anymore. Cheers!
Yes!! Haven't even watched the video yet I'm just stoked for an upload from Casey. I'm never disappointed. Those Wysi wipes blew my mind. Never heard of them before. Going in my kit for sure.
Ha! Awesome my friend. Glad you look forward to them. Yeah I kind of stumbled across them on Amazon and I’ve been hooked on them since my first order came. They are just so darn compact and handy. Cheers!
Hey there, Bush tucker man is a great show , used to watch it every weekend, he used to be a survival expert for the Australian special forces when he retired he started teaching the public every thing he knew
You always appear to be having fun regardless of where you stop for the night. You have got everything that you need to be able to camp in comfort, your experience shows through. I really liked this one for sure, you do a great job Casey!
Thanks my friend. It’s absolutely true. I enjoy pretty much any spot I find to camp out there. But this one ended up being especially cool with the high meadows around it and being right on the path of the historic summit trail. Awesome spot for sure. I rarely ever camp in the same spot twice but I may even go back to this spot again. Cheers!
Thanks for sharing your cook kits and the process you use when setting up camp. I've been Bushcraft/Woodcrafting for years and I'm looking into overland as my next step. Like how you combine your skills to make the most of things! As always, I enjoy the historic finds you make and appreciate the work you put into that end of your videos. Cool old wood burned water troughs! Great find! Thanks again, and look forward to your next adventure.
Thanks my friend. Yeah over the years I’ve slowly started doing more and more exploring out of the vehicle as I’ve searched out cool forgotten historic spots. But I’ve always loved bushcraft/woodcraft so I really enjoy blending some of it into my car camping adventures. Cheers my friend!
Nice water can. They used to make a grill like your buddy made you. I had one 40 years ago called the G'rilla, but my brother borrowed it and I have never seen another one. Old school fire management.. Fire has not changed. Great set-up.. That chair looks like it is worth its space. Thank you for the video
I remember those! I was trying to remember what they were called. I’m thinking about fabricating a few of them to sell just because they work so well and I’ve had so many guys asking for them. I wouldn’t be able to give them away but I’d be happy if I could just cover my costs for marketing them and get a few of them to guys that would appreciate and use them. Cheers my friend!
It's always a pleasure to watch "Chef Coyote" make his complicated gourmet dishes-- watch out Bobby Flay. hehe Okay seriously now, you are amazing at showing us how to spot 100 year old ruins. Thanks!
Absolutely. It is intentionally also my vehicle bug out kit. With very few exceptions all the gear stocked in my Jeep to have fun in the woods for a few days is also everything I need to be comfortable out there for a few weeks if I had to. Nice catch. You’re one of the few people that’s picked up on that aspect of it. I don’t talk about that aspect of it much anymore but it’s very much a part of it for me. Cheers!
This is the perfect video. It has everything a good video should have. Tent set up, fire building, cooking, exploring, You should use it as a template. You put that in every video and you will have tons of views. So good I watched twice.
Thanks my friend. That’s honestly one of the coolest complements I’ve heard in a while. It’s really helpful to hear what you like about that video. I’ll definitely follow that blue print more knowing that. Cheers my friend. Thanks for the advice!
Beautiful country... you're lucky to be able to build a fire. Here, everything south of I-70 is under burn ban. Time to drag out my dad's old Coleman stove for this weekend's trip! That, or make egg salad...
Great video and scenery and thanks for talking about your cooking implements. Possibly in the future, could you talk about your first aid kits? I remember you discussed a little about one that had stuff for sutures and tourniquets, but it would be nice to see some details. From your talks it seems you have some pretty good training in that area.
The only channel on my 100 or so subbed channels that I have a notification on.... I'm sold on this lifestyle :) btw, very cool that you have some bushcraft skills.... not just a car camper.
That’s very cool my friend! Awesome to hear that. Most of my earlier years in the outdoors were spend dong mostly what people refer to as bushcraft now. I’ve always enjoyed crafting things for camp out of the materials that I find out there. I don’t do as much throw a pack on my back and head out into the woods and build a camp anymore. But I still do several times year and I always enjoy it. Cheers my friend!
I really dig the history! I bet the view from your Jeep tent was almost the same view of someone sticking their head outside of a covered wagon back in the day!
I’ve never though about it like that but I bet you’re right. That’s a pretty cool thought. Next time I wake up and peek out the door of my tent I’ll be thinking about that for sure. Cheers my friend!
I hiked that old cattle trail that goes from Mitchel to prineville way way back in the day many many times. It's awesome. Also the old troughs..there were once 9 all in a row. A sheep hearder made them. I remember the water running through them all like a stream one to the other.
That’s really cool! Very interesting to hear that piece of the puzzle about the 9 troughs all in a row. I wondered if maybe they were set up for the water to run through them all. But they are just broken down enough now that I couldn’t really tell. Cheers!
Les hiddens, the Bush tucker man. He used to be in the Australian army, and did a lot of survival stuff for the army concerning Bush tucker ( living off the land) he would do history lessons about people that died or almost died in the outback because they didn't know about the plants in their environment. I never missed an episode lol
For sure! Next on the list will probably be a small lift and larger tires. After that bumpers and winch. Definitely some more fuel and water storage on the outside of the vehicle. And I’m also looking into maybe a low deck and drawer for the cargo area.... And the list just goes on after that. I’ll probably be doing mods on that thing until I wear it out!
everybody already said it casey another great vid that thing we talked about before needs some duct tape on the front to cover that nasty crack have fun stay warm
Thanks my friend. Stay tuned. I am working on making a few more of them with another buddy of mine. As soon as we get a few done I’ll throw them up for sale. Not looking to make money off them but it’s been a great grill for me and I think some of you would appreciate them. If I can just cover my costs I’ll make more. Shoot me an email at jointlockbjj@gmail.com and I’ll make sure you get dibs on one of the first ones out of the shop. Cheers!
As Away's a Great Video, Casey. I enjoyed it alot. I liked your gear too. The video of the 0l' Austrian guy...I can't understand them people, to well. Their words seem to run together if they speak to fast for me...but, I'm 0ld☹
Thanks my friend. Yeah I suppose old Bush Tucker Man isn’t for everyone. But cheers to you for giving it a try. Thanks for the support. Rally appreciate it..
Sometime I really want to make my way out there and camp over a weekend with you man. The places you visit are gorgeous and it would be awesome to pick your brain and learn from you. Why do you have to be on the opposite side of the country man? Haha . Another great video. Thank you for sharing.
Gerret you are welcome to come out any time. If you can get here you can always stay at my place. I’ve got two spare bedrooms. Seriously you are welcome if you ever want to make the trip. You can stay a few nights at my place and we could spend a few days/night out in the woods. I know it’s a long ways but just know my door is open. I’ve had so much fun doing some traveling when I can and meeting other people off TH-cam. Met some really cool people and now have a few good friends scattered all over the country. Cheers!
I don’t worry too much about it while I’m cooking. But I avoid spilling food on the ground in my campsite and I put all my food away in the vehicle or up in a tree when I’m not in camp and when I’m sleeping at night while I’m in bear country. Cheers!
Do you know why all these old homesteads and cattle sites fell out of use ? Love the history of your trips, always curious as to why everyone just left.
Mostly it was because people came here during a period of above average annual rainfall years thinking it was a much more rich environment. Then the normal drier years came and most of them just couldn’t make a living off the land. A few of the hardier ones with more experience made it. But most of the homesteaders out in this country starved out and went completely broke within about 5 years of stealing their claim to their homestead. Sad story but just a fascinating piece of our history. The stories of those folks lives were incredible. Cheers my friend.
Thank you ! I have a Jeep now , but I’m looking at a new one and want to install different tires and wheels. Also what are your thoughts on bumpers and a wench?
just wondering if you could explain why you chose a Jeep I'm not ragging on the Jeep I'm just trying to decide if I want to buy a 4Runner or a Jeep maybe even on Tahoe just wondering what your opinion is great video thanks
No worries my friend. I’ve always liked Jeeps. Some people do rag on them but this is the third one I’ve owned and they’ve all served me well. Especially the Rubicon models. Not that many other factory rigs set up with locking front and rear differentials, disconnecting sway bars, heavy duty suspension, and heavy duty 4wd. There are a few but then the Jeeps just have excellent articulation that makes them really sure footed over rough terrain. They are also relatively light, and just a nice size of getting around in the back country. Plus there is virtually every aftermarket mod and accessory know to man made for them. The 4Runners are pretty good as well but I would stay away from the Tahoes if you are going to spend a lot of time off road. Probably the only rig I would choose over my Jeep for the amount of time I spend off road would be a Toyota. Cheers my friend! Have fun choosing and kitting out your new rig!
Hey Coyote. Why did you cook the sausage in the frying pan? You could have just put them on top of the grid. Braai Style. Wrap a whole potato in tin foil, leave it in the hot coals to cook. Yummmmm Great video
Oh man I’m loving mine more and more all the time. I just got back from a trip where I used it a ton over a couple days and it performed awesome for me. It’s now officially my current favorite knife. Cheers my friend!
Rarely ever do I see anyone else out there when I’m on my trips. But I purposely go to areas where not too many people go. That’s really a huge part of the trips for me is just getting to places that other people don’t ever get to. I like the solitude and untouched feel of the more remote areas.
hi casey, thanks as always for your vids. ive been sharing them with my friends in korea. they are so stoked about the beauty of eastern oregon ... apologies in advance if your wilderness areas are soon overrun by swarms of korean tourists lol anyways, i'd like to pose a question about maps and trails - i don't know if you've covered it in your other vids so sorry if im asking dumb questions. i'm studying an OHV map on the bitterroot mountains in ID. it specifies trails for cars, off-road vehicles, hikers etc on public lands. am i obliged to stay on these trails or could i take a jeep onto say a hiking trail? i say this because sometimes google maps indicates a motor road whereas on the OHV map its indicated as non-motorized. obviously i don't want to damage whatever the state/federal govt is doing for the environment, but i figure if there is a trail - no matter how old ... it ought to be trodden on. an amazing facet of your channel is how you blend history with geography and the such by exploring old wagon trails. are some of the above issues concerns you grapple with? how do you do your research (i remember you talking about respecting private lands and such) in deciding what trails to explore? hey thanks again casey, hope to hear from you soon, and all the best to ya buddy.
I like cooking on cast iron but I’ve gone to stainless because it lighter and more compact. I know a few pounds doesn’t seem like much but with all the gear I have I try to shave off every pound I can and it all adds up. I look at it the same way as I approach backpacking. With backpacking ounces turn into pounds and pounds turn into pain. With an off-road vehicle weight is one of the factors that contributes to how much of a beating your rig is taking out there. I do literally hundreds of miles on rough back country roads so I’m always fighting to keep my overall weight as low as I can. Cheers!
It’s the Gransfors Bruks small forest axe. Best axes know to man! They are a bit expensive but they hold an edge, the heads stay tight on them, and they are an absolute pleasure to use. Cheers!
I’m running the 265/70r 17’s now which are just shy of 32 inches tall. .I would actually like to go a little bigger with my tires. I’m thinking a 285/75 which would put me just over 33 inches. I generally run Mud Terrains because when I need them, I need them. But the ATs tend to wear longer and for 90% of the road conditions they are just fine. Especially some of the more aggressive all terrains they have out now like the BFGs. Cheers my friend!
I didn’t find any but I’m sure there was one in the area. I will get back up there and do some more searching around over the summer for sure. I’m really interested in finding anything I can related to that summit trail. It has some pretty cool history. Cheers!
Hi Casey, from Oz. Love that you gave a plug to the Bush Tucker Man. Les Hiddins (the BTM) is ex Aus reg army - in the first series he still was in the army. One thing to come out of that (and the first series was only part of the reason for his trips) was the knowledge he gained went to good use. Aus army maps now usually contain pictures of 'bush tucker' available in the area the map covers. Useful for RFSU folks like Norforce and the Pilbara regiment. (Of interest, in WW2 the Japanese apparently landed small units in northern Australia - radios and other equipment has been found, however none survived - it is pretty rugged country with lots of things that can kill you and a few that will eat you - like crocs). Some of the best footage is when he gets together with Ray Mears... th-cam.com/video/ALW7UVdG0n0/w-d-xo.html (And the Ray Mears series on Oz are interesting in their own way - you will find Les Hiddins feature in a couple of them - th-cam.com/video/yVpmGkpMxkM/w-d-xo.html ).
What???!! I'm really disappointed with you. What going on? .....you set your camp up in daylight! Keep up the great videos..You are making me want to take an excursion you to Oregon!
Your point about the blending of modern equipment and amenities with bush craft skills was well-stated. Beautiful country. Thanks for bringing us along.
Thank you. Always enjoyable having you all along with me on my trips!
Love the different approach on this trip.
Always good to see a CW history hunt!

Thanks for sharing!
Ha! Thanks my friend. I was pretty surprised to stumble on those troughs. Not too many of those old hand dug wooden water troughs around anymore. Cheers!
Your videos continue to be inspiring and educational. Down to earth fun and adventure. Thanks for all you do.
Yes!! Haven't even watched the video yet I'm just stoked for an upload from Casey. I'm never disappointed.
Those Wysi wipes blew my mind. Never heard of them before. Going in my kit for sure.
Ha! Awesome my friend. Glad you look forward to them. Yeah I kind of stumbled across them on Amazon and I’ve been hooked on them since my first order came. They are just so darn compact and handy. Cheers!
Coyote Works. Good ol Amazon. I'm currently watching season 1 of Bush Tucker Man, thanks for the tip.
Hey there, Bush tucker man is a great show , used to watch it every weekend, he used to be a survival expert for the Australian special forces when he retired he started teaching the public every thing he knew

I rarely ever camp in the same spot twice but I may even go back to this spot again. Cheers!
Very enjoyable video! I really liked your camping spot too.
Thanks my friend!
I'm Australian and a good part of my desire to explore the bush came from watching bush tuckerman VHS tapes as a kid.
Great show. I really enjoy watching them!
Thanks for sharing your cook kits and the process you use when setting up camp. I've been Bushcraft/Woodcrafting for years and I'm looking into overland as my next step.

Great looking cooking setup! Very beautiful meadow and loved seeing the old remains left there.
Thank you!
It amazes me how you can just walk up on such distant untouched history the way you do my friend. Great video as always.👍👍
Thank you. It takes some work finding it sometimes. But always awesome when I do. Cheers!
Now that was a beautiful spot to camp....nice meadow....as always a great video.....thanx.
Thank you!
Nice water can. They used to make a grill like your buddy made you. I had one 40 years ago called the G'rilla, but my brother borrowed it and I have never seen another one. Old school fire management.. Fire has not changed. Great set-up.. That chair looks like it is worth its space. Thank you for the video
I remember those! I was trying to remember what they were called. I’m thinking about fabricating a few of them to sell just because they work so well and I’ve had so many guys asking for them.

Good to see some bushcraft skills finally
It's always a pleasure to watch "Chef Coyote" make his complicated gourmet dishes-- watch out Bobby Flay. hehe Okay seriously now, you are amazing at showing us how to spot 100 year old ruins. Thanks!
Ha! Thanks my friend. Soon I’m sure I’ll have my own cooking show ;-). Lol
Very enjoyable video as always, great location. I think you maintain an ideal standard mixing modern day equipment with bushcraft skills
Thanks my friend. I really enjoy the combination. The best of both worlds!
Great camp and beautiful area Casey! TFS
What a view at your camping location!!!
The beauty of your setup is it can also literally save your life if you ever need to evacuate from your home base.
Absolutely. It is intentionally also my vehicle bug out kit. With very few exceptions all the gear stocked in my Jeep to have fun in the woods for a few days is also everything I need to be comfortable out there for a few weeks if I had to. Nice catch. You’re one of the few people that’s picked up on that aspect of it. I don’t talk about that aspect of it much anymore but it’s very much a part of it for me. Cheers!

Thanks my friend. That’s honestly one of the coolest complements I’ve heard in a while. It’s really helpful to hear what you like about that video. I’ll definitely follow that blue print more knowing that. Cheers my friend. Thanks for the advice!
👍👍👍
Beautiful country... you're lucky to be able to build a fire. Here, everything south of I-70 is under burn ban. Time to drag out my dad's old Coleman stove for this weekend's trip! That, or make egg salad...
FromFlabToFourteener ... exactly how it is in AZ. Too hot and dry. Looking forward to the monsoons and opening the forests again.
Thanks for sharing your video. Nice job cooking!
Thanks for taking us along.
They you are. I have not seen you for a few weeks. I love your videos.
Thanks my friend! I know I’ve been busy with my day job and have been falling behind on getting my videos uploaded! Cheers!
Another great trip.. I need to get one of those pathfinder skillets.
Great video. I learned a lot. Thank you for sharing!
CW Thanks for taking us along!
Thanks my friend. For sure. Always a pleasure having you guys along with me out there!
Like always coyote,great video👌
Thank you!
Another awesome video. Youre the man !!!!
Great video and scenery and thanks for talking about your cooking implements. Possibly in the future, could you talk about your first aid kits? I remember you discussed a little about one that had stuff for sutures and tourniquets, but it would be nice to see some details. From your talks it seems you have some pretty good training in that area.
For sure Mark. I’ll add that to my list of upcoming videos. Cheers my friend!
A great start to the weekend. Thanks.
And I’m heading off on another one now! Cheers!
The only channel on my 100 or so subbed channels that I have a notification on.... I'm sold on this lifestyle :)
btw, very cool that you have some bushcraft skills.... not just a car camper.
That’s very cool my friend! Awesome to hear that. Most of my earlier years in the outdoors were spend dong mostly what people refer to as bushcraft now.

Great video. Beautiful area. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
It’s been a pretty bad couple of days for me, but seeing a new Coyote Works video made it a little better.
That’s awesome my friend. Sorry to hear you hit a rough patch but glad my video could help a bit. Cheers!
I really dig the history! I bet the view from your Jeep tent was almost the same view of someone sticking their head outside of a covered wagon back in the day!
I’ve never though about it like that but I bet you’re right. That’s a pretty cool thought. Next time I wake up and peek out the door of my tent I’ll be thinking about that for sure. Cheers my friend!
I enjoy watching your video every time! Please keep up the great work.
Much love from Japan
Thank you my friend. And thank you for the support. I love hearing from you guys that live across the world and enjoy some of the same things. Cheers!
I hiked that old cattle trail that goes from Mitchel to prineville way way back in the day many many times. It's awesome. Also the old troughs..there were once 9 all in a row. A sheep hearder made them. I remember the water running through them all like a stream one to the other.

You do it right, keep them coming,
Thanks my friend!
Thanks for the tip on bush tucker man.
very nice video as always , keep up the great work and thank you for the pots and pans tips . im going to check them out for mine .
Love it! Makes me realize I need to look around more when out and about. Thanks for sharing.
For sure! Thank you.
Enjoyed!!! Breakfast looked awesome 👍
For sure! Cheers!
You were camped in a great patch of Mullein plants..great Bushcraft cough remedy and is great to dry for a pipe tobacco replacement
For sure. The dried stalks of them also make great spindles for starting friction fires.
Bingo..give that man a Ceegar!
Les hiddens, the Bush tucker man. He used to be in the Australian army, and did a lot of survival stuff for the army concerning Bush tucker ( living off the land) he would do history lessons about people that died or almost died in the outback because they didn't know about the plants in their environment.
I never missed an episode lol
I think I’ve watched every one that’s on TH-cam! What a cool job that guy had. Great stuff!
Awesome video. Any plans for more Jeep modifications?
For sure! Next on the list will probably be a small lift and larger tires. After that bumpers and winch. Definitely some more fuel and water storage on the outside of the vehicle. And I’m also looking into maybe a low deck and drawer for the cargo area.... And the list just goes on after that. I’ll probably be doing mods on that thing until I wear it out!
I just came across your videos.. Nice work Brother !
A very enjoyable video. ...informative. Thanks.
Thanks John!
Very enjoyable, that's the life take care!
Thanks my friend!
Like usual great video
Great video.
Thank you!
Great video 👍👍👍👍
Thank you!
You’re the closest to my style of camping minus the vehicle. The mix of modern/bushcraft makes the most sense.
Yep gotta luv our Bush Tucker Man🇦🇺
everybody already said it casey another great vid that thing we talked about before needs some duct tape on the front to cover that nasty crack have fun stay warm
Thanks my friend. So true!
other great vid. I've been missing them due to work camping high up in the Sierra's with no internet.
Thanks my friend. Sounds like not a bad place to have to be working!
Good video!
Great Video....what was your impressions of that chair...we are looking to replace all of our chairs with these!
Another great installment CW! Was thinking, when u were making breaky, maybe use the aluminium panel around your pan, wind depending.
Yeah for sure my friend. Thank you! Cheers!
Great video! Anyway to get a hold of one of those grills. Haven’t seen any recent videos from your buddy who makes them..ATB
Thanks my friend. Stay tuned. I am working on making a few more of them with another buddy of mine. As soon as we get a few done I’ll throw them up for sale. Not looking to make money off them but it’s been a great grill for me and I think some of you would appreciate them. If I can just cover my costs I’ll make more. Shoot me an email at jointlockbjj@gmail.com and I’ll make sure you get dibs on one of the first ones out of the shop. Cheers!
Coyote Works ok great. I will definitely email you. Thanks
Another home run brother! 🤘🏽
Thanks my friend!
Enjoyed it bud, Thanks
Thanks my friend!
Beautiful!
For sure!
Majestic views. Just received my ReadyLight from FSR. Only negative I see is I wish the USB port was 2A instead of 1A.
Copy that. It’s a pretty awesome piece of kit. I use mine constantly. Cheers!
As Away's a Great Video, Casey. I enjoyed it alot. I liked your gear too. The video of the 0l' Austrian guy...I can't understand them people, to well. Their words seem to run together if they speak to fast for me...but, I'm 0ld☹

Cheers!
Great video. Is there anything special you do to prepare for bears coming for your food while you cooking ?
efibendor1 I was wondering if he ever hangs his food. I don't have a rooftop tent. I sleep in the Jeep with the dog so space is a premium.
I don’t worry too much about it while I’m cooking. But I avoid spilling food on the ground in my campsite and I put all my food away in the vehicle or up in a tree when I’m not in camp and when I’m sleeping at night while I’m in bear country. Cheers!
Love them cackle berrys! Aka eggs, Rooster bullets!...lol 👍🏾😀❤️🇺🇸
Ha! For sure my friend!
Great Stuff Thanks!

There are a few but then the Jeeps just have excellent articulation that makes them really sure footed over rough terrain. They are also relatively light, and just a nice size of getting around in the back country. Plus there is virtually every aftermarket mod and accessory know to man made for them.
The 4Runners are pretty good as well but I would stay away from the Tahoes if you are going to spend a lot of time off road.
Probably the only rig I would choose over my Jeep for the amount of time I spend off road would be a Toyota.
Cheers my friend! Have fun choosing and kitting out your new rig!
Have you ever seen a Kelly Kettle. They work great for boiling water.
Hey Coyote.
Why did you cook the sausage in the frying pan?
You could have just put them on top of the grid. Braai Style.
Wrap a whole potato in tin foil, leave it in the hot coals to cook. Yummmmm
Great video
Sometimes I do. But you just made made me really hungry thinking about a big coil of boerewors on the braai!’n
Coyote Works
Hey Coyote.
You can’t beat a coil of boerewors on the braai.
Have a great weekend Boet

Bought the Esee knife you have and great knife !
Oh man I’m loving mine more and more all the time. I just got back from a trip where I used it a ton over a couple days and it performed awesome for me. It’s now officially my current favorite knife. Cheers my friend!
On your car camping adventures, how often have you seen other people?
Rarely ever do I see anyone else out there when I’m on my trips. But I purposely go to areas where not too many people go. That’s really a huge part of the trips for me is just getting to places that other people don’t ever get to. I like the solitude and untouched feel of the more remote areas.
Great video!
Thank you!
hi casey, thanks as always for your vids. ive been sharing them with my friends in korea. they are so stoked about the beauty of eastern oregon ... apologies in advance if your wilderness areas are soon overrun by swarms of korean tourists lol
anyways, i'd like to pose a question about maps and trails - i don't know if you've covered it in your other vids so sorry if im asking dumb questions.
i'm studying an OHV map on the bitterroot mountains in ID. it specifies trails for cars, off-road vehicles, hikers etc on public lands. am i obliged to stay on these trails or could i take a jeep onto say a hiking trail? i say this because sometimes google maps indicates a motor road whereas on the OHV map its indicated as non-motorized. obviously i don't want to damage whatever the state/federal govt is doing for the environment, but i figure if there is a trail - no matter how old ... it ought to be trodden on.
an amazing facet of your channel is how you blend history with geography and the such by exploring old wagon trails. are some of the above issues concerns you grapple with? how do you do your research (i remember you talking about respecting private lands and such) in deciding what trails to explore?
hey thanks again casey, hope to hear from you soon, and all the best to ya buddy.
Love the videos. Time to invest in better audio. Lavalier mike?
Yeah for sure. Thanks for the positive comments though. I’m looking into audio options now. That’s going to be my next investment. Cheers!

Definitely!
No cast iron pans? Car camping is good for cast iron
I like cooking on cast iron but I’ve gone to stainless because it lighter and more compact. I know a few pounds doesn’t seem like much but with all the gear I have I try to shave off every pound I can and it all adds up. I look at it the same way as I approach backpacking. With backpacking ounces turn into pounds and pounds turn into pain. With an off-road vehicle weight is one of the factors that contributes to how much of a beating your rig is taking out there. I do literally hundreds of miles on rough back country roads so I’m always fighting to keep my overall weight as low as I can.
Cheers!
What brand or model chair u got there?
Ever been to the blue mountains?
What happened to your solar lights on the stand?
They were in the Jeep. I just didn’t set them up for this one. Those pod lights I hung on the pole are part of that Readylight kit though. Cheers!
A metal detector around that old fire pit might’ve turned up a treasure or two
For sure!
Can you tell us about your hatchet/axe?
It’s the Gransfors Bruks small forest axe. Best axes know to man! They are a bit expensive but they hold an edge, the heads stay tight on them, and they are an absolute pleasure to use. Cheers!
Thanks a bunch! Im in the market and will give them a look
What size Duratrac tires do you run and do you like all season or mud?
I’m running the 265/70r 17’s now which are just shy of 32 inches tall. .I would actually like to go a little bigger with my tires. I’m thinking a 285/75 which would put me just over 33 inches. I generally run Mud Terrains because when I need them, I need them. But the ATs tend to wear longer and for 90% of the road conditions they are just fine. Especially some of the more aggressive all terrains they have out now like the BFGs. Cheers my friend!
Has your water supply been affected by the algae bloom at Detroit lakes
No we haven’t’ been affected over here on my side of the mountains. But I hear it’s causing some problems on the west side.
was there any evidence of a Line Cabin?
I didn’t find any but I’m sure there was one in the area. I will get back up there and do some more searching around over the summer for sure. I’m really interested in finding anything I can related to that summit trail. It has some pretty cool history. Cheers!
Hi Casey, from Oz. Love that you gave a plug to the Bush Tucker Man.
Les Hiddins (the BTM) is ex Aus reg army - in the first series he still was in the army. One thing to come out of that (and the first series was only part of the reason for his trips) was the knowledge he gained went to good use. Aus army maps now usually contain pictures of 'bush tucker' available in the area the map covers. Useful for RFSU folks like Norforce and the Pilbara regiment. (Of interest, in WW2 the Japanese apparently landed small units in northern Australia - radios and other equipment has been found, however none survived - it is pretty rugged country with lots of things that can kill you and a few that will eat you - like crocs).
Some of the best footage is when he gets together with Ray Mears... th-cam.com/video/ALW7UVdG0n0/w-d-xo.html
(And the Ray Mears series on Oz are interesting in their own way - you will find Les Hiddins feature in a couple of them - th-cam.com/video/yVpmGkpMxkM/w-d-xo.html ).
