River Camping Utah's Red Rock Canyons. New Arch Discovery!

- We've been doing this trip for the past few years now and it's always come with some apprehension. We felt like rookies, still figuring things out. Taking your whole family this far into the remote wilderness requires some forethought and planning. This year was a bit different, Jess and I seem to have a new sense of confidence when it came to the river trip and we were both excited starting preparations a month in advance, Jess was shopping to get some gear tuned in. I bought a little 4 x 8 trailer and modified it to carry the boats.
Getting there is a pretty big day, almost six hours of driving. Two and a half to get to the put in and another three to shuttle vehicles to the take out. The trailer worked great, easy to load, down out of the wind and light weight. It was a good day, we celebrated my birthday at the park that evening.
The next morning we woke up and everything about our life was different. We were on this slow moving, peaceful river watching the ever changing scenery drift past, observing natures wonder through all our senses. No more smart phones to keep us continually distracted. We were all living in reality together, remembering that we can entertain and enjoy each other and that "just being" somewhere this nice can feel really good!
The first day was a long one, we missed our intended campsite and ended up on the river for thirty one miles. We decided to cash in our hard work by staying two nights. It was perfect! The kids really let go, at times we would look around finding them contently playing different games that they had made up using what they had found lying around rather than pulling at our sleeves saying "I'm bored" (like at home).
This extra time in one spot allowed me some "wander" time which was awesome! I hiked to the far canyon and found "The Sidewalk In The Sky" It's was interesting (and nice) to see how pristine and untouched this canyon was being not so very far away from a heavily used campsite.
The rest of the trip just got better and better! The canyon walls got taller and more red. We really enjoyed the good food, good friends and some of the most epic beauty nature has to offer!
Interested in the camp cooking gear I use in my video's? I'm an inventor who loves to camp & cook over a wood flame. I make (and source) awesome gear that works best for my style of camping which includes mountain backpacking, family camping and overland camping. Something for everyone. please check out my website: www.fireboxsto... Thanks for your support!
People need more of this wholesome family time in this world...now more than ever
I agree, it does wonders for our kids and families.
Love this! What a nice interlude to see what's 'real' away from the cares of the modern world. More, please!
True Frank! Very true that my friend!
Which is just what the psycho communist elites don’t want. They want to own us.

Good to see you back again, Steve. You've been missed.
Thanks for hanging in there and staying patient with me 🤛
What a beautiful sight and such relaxing sounds..
Thank you for the comment, it was a great trip!
@@fireboxstove Nothing to thank for, man. When I see your videos, I feel peace and good vibes. It means so much in todays world! Thank YOU for beeing as you are. Take care, be safe.
@@enriqueestebanantoniosuare6414 couldnt of said it better
This video was so calming and relaxing. The only thing missing was those beautiful four legged babies of yours🥰🥰😍
I was missing Ash during the quiet mornings!
I honestly can't understand how anyone would dislike this?! It's so wholesome and entertaining....right now 22 people are miserable with their lives..
LOL I am glad you enjoyed it Ken, thank you for the support.
This is refreshing! With everything going on in America right now, this reminds us that family time, exercise, sunshine, and nature are still here to be enjoyed 💜
Yes I agree with you there, thank you for watching!
The scenery is beautiful. I love the fact that you actually use your products. I’m 58 years old, not once have I ever looked back pissed off at my dad because he took us camping and dirt bike riding. Your kids will never look back at these memories with resentment, but definitely will remember them fondly. I’m almost there in buying a firebox, I just have to think about which one I want to get. Thanks for posting this. 🙏🏻 Good health and peace to you and your family.
Thank you for your encouragement! I really do feel like they're the best of times 👍
I needed this video to get my mind off all the bs
So glad it helped!

There's always a calming effect thats why many insist to view on running water, sunrises and sunsets, old big tress and mountains. there always more to learn about our planet! Thanks be to God!
Must have been really fun. Always nice to float, camp on a quiet, peaceful river. Thanks.
Yes! Floating that river is amazing!
So happy this is my home. Much Love. Thanks firebox Steve.

It's fun to watch you cook...Interesting cook stove.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
Nice float trip! Everyone looked to be enjoying themselves. I also liked the way you, Steve, showed off the Firebox’s and Nano’s capability to use different fuels for different food preps, miminizing the amount of refuelling. Steve, so much useful information in this video, thank you.
Thank you Harry, I am glad you found it useful! I appreciate the support.
Totally miss the critters on this one, but at least you had some peaceful “coffee time”
Coffee time sure is amazing! Thanks for watching.
Thank you for sharing! Happy belated birthday!
Thank you, I appreciate that!
I dont think ill walk out on it...
*doesnt walk out on it.
I genuinely love you so much right now because that thing could crack in half any decade now!
it is refreshing to credit a youtuber (nowadays) for having an actual brain!!!
Lol! I have a great deal of respect for nature! Check out my latest video it's ranking as my best yet: th-cam.com/video/CITPtEIMUVA/w-d-xo.html
Great everything! Thanks. I’ve put in there at your takeout three times. Canoe and kayak. Glad to see the place is still there. Enjoyed seeing the upriver part! When we were being commercially driven to the put in, a few of the people got out of the small blue bus and walked! Thanks for not speaking your locations. Utah is almost ruined in many location by crowds. Drat the State and it’s “Mighty Five” advertising campaigns! Glad you and yours are well and happy!
Thank you for watching, I am glad you enjoyed the video. I agree, too much here being ruined by the internet it seems.
Your Cooking videos are AWESOME!!!!👍👌😉
Thanks Dan!
hope you and your family will be fine in this pandemic around the world!! wish you all the best from Vietnam
Your young lad will be taking over the cooking soon.Take care,stay safe.
He sure is getting big way too fast, they all are. Thanks for watching!
An epic family outing. : )
Thank you!
You are a brilliant cooker
I am always jelous of Americans to have such a pretty country, i mean You have everything, deserts, mountains, woods, big rivers, marshes, tropics, arctic, big lakes, ocean coasts.... You are so lucky guys
Steve, that boy of yours is growing like a weed! Hope all is well with you and your family!

Glad you enjoy it!
Looked like a really good time. That was a great find in the box canyon. Take care and stay safe, Al
Awesome video supper relaxing
So glad you liked it! Thanks for the feedback 😊
Love your videos. My buddy and I have had our firebox’s for 3 years now. Both of us agree it’s our favorite equipment that we own. We are taking them for a short canoe camping trip this weekend and intend on making venison stew and a beef tenderloin using a coffee spit between two fire boxes. Can’t wait!
Dang that sounds delicious! I hope you guys have an awesome time and thank you so much for letting me know how you feel about your Firebox Stoves! I love hearing that you're having fun with them 👍😊
Hi thank you beautiful and relaxing .
Thank you Bob, that is appreciated!
1:00. favorite passive aggressive park ranger. asking for your permit but not directly. and wow! what a view!
The Firebox in its natural environment, always a joy. Looking forward to our next trip when restrictions are lifted and we can enjoy the peace and good food. Coffee time is your catchcry from hereon! Nice vid! 👍
Absolutely beautiful out there Steve. Thank you again.
My pleasure! Thank you for watching 👍
Wonderful family adventure and excellent quiet coffee times, perfect mix! Thanks for sharing. :) :)
So glad you liked it!
Thoroughly enjoyed this !!!
Thank you for watching, I am glad you enjoyed it.
Buen video, bellos paisajes y muy bonita familia, además de que los utensilios se ven muy buenos y prácticos de verdad que se lo pasan bien. Felicidades por disfrutar de todo eso.
Thank you for the comment, I am glad you enjoyed watching!
glad you live in a place that has so much outdoor access... we can't do much in quarantine... not much access without bumping into someone else!
Ya it is hard right now and I am thankful Utah is still pretty open. I hope it changes for others soon and safely. Thanks for watching!
Trying to watch this at bedtime but it's to relaxing. Gonna fall asleep. Will watch tomorrow again
Thank you for watching!
I just started watching your videos and I love it, also the firebox and the many ways you use it, and the meals looks delicious, I really enjoy your videos Steve 🙌
Thank you for the comment, so glad you have enjoyed watching.
Glad to see you my friend its been awhile glad u and family are 👌
Thank you, glad to have a new video for you all up. I appreciate the support.
BREATHTAKING BEAUTY COLORS SCENERY VIEWS VIDEO ! FOOD LOOKEN MIGHTY TASTY TOO ! LOOKS SO RELAXING! BE SAFE ! HAVE FUN ! GOD BLESS YOU ALL ALWAYS ON YOUR JOURNEYS ! ENJOYED !
Thank you David! I'm so glad you liked it.
I've been binging you videos lately. Really chill and calm intertainment.
Love your coffee setup - have a quick tip. The best extraction of freshly ground coffee is around 90 celsius (195 to 205 american). If you chill the water 30-40 seconds or so off the heat (maybe more), you'll round the bitterness "out" to flavor and aroma. Worth playing around with, from one coffe lover to another
Thank you for the suggestion Tobias, that is appreciated. We will have to try it out. So glad you have been enjoying the videos!
Amazing places, fantastic landscapes, and most of all ... it's time spent in the bosom of nature with family.
Warm greetings from rainy Poland.
Thank you for watching from Poland, I am glad you enjoyed the video. I agree, out in nature with family is great!
So good Steve!
If I never see you making coffee again its all good
Beautiful scenery and great food , looks like great weather too Thank you
We actually delay the trip by one day to avoid hard wins. Got the tail end of that the first day. After that it was perfect 👍
Excellent 1/2 hour infomercial...
Thank you, I appreciate it lol.
Just got my firebox Saturday the kids and I cooked dinner on it tonight pork chops, corn, and mashed potatoes killer meal all on a couple handfuls of sage brush really impressed with it
That is great to hear, sounds delicious! Thank you for the feedback......I hope you and the kids can make many more memories like this with your Firebox!
Great family
Thanks!
