You two are living an amazing life! I can hear it in your voice that you really appreciate the times you are having together. Safe travels!
Still loving this channel! Thanks for bringing your adventures to us.
Glad you enjoy it! Tune in every Friday for another video, thanks for watching!
Hey Guys! Thanks for sharing another great adventure. We especially appreciate you sharing how you discover and choose your camp spots and the creative things you do while visiting each area.
Loved the Native tool demonstration. It is always a pleasure to watch a skilled craftsman work with genuine tools.
Thanks again and be safe out there!
Thanks for watching!
Another great video. As you were planing that rose shaft I was thinking it would be a useful tool for making tinder to use with a bow drill and fire board. Ancient historical stories revealed right at your feet.
Another teaching moment for us all. Love the common sense that folks had in previously. I thought "Man we should pick up that old trash." We could become broke from trash bag purchasing and policing our environment. Thoughts like that take you down another rabbit hole. We do what we can. Thanks for another great travel day.
I'm 63 years old and as kids we would find arrow heads and spear heads where I lived along the Clarkfork river and near by creeks. One person found a large seed grinding stone..I live in the Hellgate area east of Missoula where the Blackfeet would ambush the Flathead's on their journey east to hunt buffalo..I think of the people who once lived here and the people I knew when I was a boy who were loggers.. The people, knowledge and culture that I grew up with is now gone..People think they know what it was like, but there is an entire life style that gets lost in future generations who could never fully understand..Great video and insight, thanks for sharing..
You're right about losing all of that. It's up to us to teach our youngsters about it.
Hey,
We love watching your videos each time, your both good teachers of life!!!
Don’t stop traveling and helping guide people each video.
We’re from Texas so weather is still like summer but looking forward to camping ourselves in October!
We just retired this past February at 60 so were ready to see some places y’all travel to soon!
Take care my friends!!
Thanks Rick and Linda. Made our Friday! Sent the video off to our family in Utah as usual! Have a great weekend!
Thank you, Becky! Hope you're having a great weekend as well.
THANK YOU for explaining how you find these places! Very helpful to someone like me who pulls a 5x8 cargo trailer that can not back it up for anything, I need either a wide place to turn around or a pull thru LOL I’ll keep practicing but it sure will help to be able to see what type of camping spot it is! Continue your fantastic travels and hope to see you down the road sometime! ✌️
We would love to see you down the road sometime!
I still find value using a drone to go look before getting into a 1/4 mile backup event with a 20' Taj-Ma-Haul
@@paulcurtis5496 we have a drone, just need to do some practicing with it LOL
@@grandpagrandmajustkeepgoin4560IKR!
Those whipper Snappers make it look so easy 😂
I love how you knew about the wild rose being used for arrows and the rock planes; then planing the wood. Very interesting!!
We learned that from our Blackfeet friend, Jim.
Rick, this has probably been suggested to you a thousand times; I'm wondering if you have ever considered doing a historical presentation like what you did on this video. Nowadays, school classes are only about 45 minutes long, hardly any time to learn anything but facts that they want us to learn. I had an interest in history when I was in school but we didn't see anything like this. I have found dozens of tools like these but had no clue what the significance was. you make it come alive. thank you so much! I would love to spend just a few hours with you guys. Maybe we can make that happen sometime😊
Interesting idea and thanks for the nice compliment. We'd love to meet up and compare notes one of these days.
Great spot, cool things. Thanks, be safe, get some pie.
Could almost smell the Pinion and the crisp mountain air...thx for sharing and the tool demo...nice.
❤ your videos! Would love to explore like you all do. But I get to go with you ! Thanks again !
You were great company on this trip, lol. Thanks for watching our video.
Gorgeous countryside! Love the stone tool/scraper lessons!
👍🏻👍🏻 - thanks for showing the ancient tools in action. It’s amazing to think about what all they were used for and how long it took to make the tool itself
Thank you for sharing. I've camped along that road and fished in the stream many times. Our favorite spot is several miles up where there's a fork in the road. I seldom see anyone up there, although I'm sure it is quite crowded during hunting season. Enjoy.
We know the spot!
Looks like a great camp Rick.Like you I like to discover the history in the areas I camp.
Fun video - - always enjoy the scenery views!
On spot observation of the, ancient artifacts, still on top of the ground after several hundred years. Yes, I share your thoughts on what if we could talk to the person(s), that came through an area before us.
Man thats a nice camp, and it would be easy to stay for a week with all that wate. Just lovelyr
You are living the good life, wonderful places, the ability to travel, to do as you please. But it all would not be worth doing without Linda you are a very fortunate man. The love of a good woman is what counts makes us whole. thank you stay safe.
That's very true and I definitely know that I'm a lucky man.
Thanks for sharing. And showing how arrows were made. Very cool. Enjoy yourselves.
Great video Rick and Linda. I learned a lot as usual. I, like you ,have a hard time picking my favorite place in the west. I love my Tennessee mountains but feel more freedom when i am in deserted areas of the west. I guess my favorite place will always be in Monument Valley. I love my Navajo brothers.
I glad you enjoyed the video, Dennis. The Monument Valley area is one of the best places to go and the beauty is awe inspiring.
Do you ever encounter snakes or animals? Do you carry quite a bit of food with you to stay out long periods? Love to go with you as we watch.
We've seen snakes but never had an encounter with one. We try our best not to. Linda makes sure we keep a well rounded amount of fresh, canned and dry foods on hand. We usually can stay out for about 2 weeks before needing to get supplies (water, laundry, fresh milk, groceries, etc)
@@gonagain I saw a number of snakes when we went to D. C.
The surroundings are absolutely stunning. Can't wait to see more of your journey!
More to come! And remember that we post a video every Friday. Thanks for watching.
Been watching your videos for years. You two go to a lot of places that I do! Your a great inspiration. I have drove around in that same area . And now you’ve inspired me to go back
This area of Nevada is very beautiful and has the best
scenery and countryside to explore and enjoy the best
of the western areas of the US take care and Thank You.
🚙🚙📹📱🇺🇲📱📹🚙🚙
It’s snowing at 9000 ft. In elevation here in Montana! First snow!
What are you doing there? Stay warm Jim!
I cannot wait to find these areas. I enjoy the history as well. Thank you for the demonstration!
Our pleasure!
Back in the 60's and 70's my father collected arrowheads and they were very well made. He would have loved seeing your videos because he was an explorer of the desert as well. I learned a lot as a kid from my dad and next-door neighbor who was Apache Indian and my best friend for many years till he moved away. They knew skills that today most have lost. Take care and have fun, Mike
That's the way I look at it too. For them it wasn't mere survival, it was their way of life.
Thanks for the history of that scenic area of Nevada. You two are a great team of modern day explorers! 😎
could you please show us how the natives straighten out the shafts. you guys are the best
Thanks, George!
I’ve said this many times but I so enjoy your show.
Most people don’t pay attention to the world around them.
As a Christian I marvel at the creative hand of God.
Us too! It sure helps to let us feel connected to God when we see His handiwork.
You guys are amazing 👏
And you TWO are so Blessd.
Thank you!
Really liked this video. Very interesting, no padding and irrelevant patter like some. You seem like a very nice genuine couple. Hope you have many more adventures in the beautiful countryside. Thank you.
I lived with my folks for a year in Ely 70 years ago I have always wanted to go back we went to that forest or I thought it was that one, many cool places near Ely for sure! Garnet Hill for one just west of town as I recall!
Ely is a great place to be for folks like us. Thanks for watching our videos.
You guys are C😎😎L , what great adventures you two have. Enjoying your videos!
Thanks 👍
That was excellent!👍🏻
My dad used to love to find those. They're everywhere because they are overlooked. not a Arrowhead or spear point so they tend to lay around has unknown as you said flakes. He said they also use those sort of tools or scraping hides and for scraping every sliver of meat off the bone. If you find bones from game you will see that there is scratches in them from the cleaning tools.
I'll look for that, thanks!
This was so good and informative and the scenery ..wow...
❤ 👍👍
Awesome demo of tools
Some of the sharp pieces are called chirt
Great video. Your about 120 mile SE of us.
I am subscribed and watch every video you put out. Also, giving it a thumbs up always. I love traveling as you take us along with you. Many blessings on you both and your family. Tell the next video.👍👍🙏🏻
Love that! Thank you, DeeDee!
Wow! Beautiful camp. I love southern Utah also 👍. Kool paining tool 👍. Thanks for sharing this with us I learned a lot 👍.
What a great video, made my day!
Very Interesting video!! Your knowledge on history amazes me!! Thanks
That’s the perfect spot. My type of place. Great video with that history lesson. Thanks for sharing your knowy
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching.
Lag bolts as tent stakes. What a neat idea!
It wasn't my idea, but they work better than anything! Get 1/2" by about 12"
Thanks for taking us on your journey’s as we have always wanted to do what you are doing.❤
Hello Linda, we hope you get to have some adventures of your own! They don't have to be far to be fun.
I learn so much from your video. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!! Happy trails
Glad it was helpful!
You missed your calling in life, you should have been a history professor. I always learn something from your videos. Travel safe and I hope to see you in January in Quartzsite.
love watching your videos.thank you.
Thanks for watching!
I love your videos please don’t stop. 😂 love you guys
We'll do our best!
Thanks!
Thank you, Linda!
I always enjoy your videos. And the knowledge you share.
Always enjoy your adventures 😊 maybe someday I'll get ah chance to enjoy some adventures.
We hope that you do!
Wow this adventure today was better than my cultural anthropology class I took in college light years ago. The big stick so you don't have to bend over....love that but you forgot to mention its the getting back up is the challenge. 😂
I really enjoy the history lessons you present in some of your videos.
Great video! Thank you
You should check out the Giants of Lovelock Cave in Nevada if you get close to it. Just for fun.
We've heard about that, very interesting but we're not near that area this time. Something to look into on another trip, thank you for the suggestion.
Awesome video ya'll What a great find and showing us what the planes were used for.I have deep Native American roots on my mother's side but try to learn what I can about my ancestors
You should look into doing audiobooks. Your voice is very soothing, and flows with easy explanation. I think you could be very successful. I know I wouldn’t have a problem listening. Just a thought for those rainy days.
Beautiful area ! 😁👍
Thanks, Paul. It's getting cooler, too.
I love your videos. I hope to be able to do some camping like that soon. I also love your frugal and minimalist lifestyle. You also have a lot of really great tips and reviews as well. I've learned a lot. Thank you for the videos. I am a big fan.
Thanks so much! We're glad if we helped in any way.
Another great video 👍👍👍
Thank you, Mike! 🤙🤙
Nice video guys. Looks like a great spot to explore.
Check out hot springs creek and the attached lake nice place to take a bath. Your not to far away.
Those little stone tools are called "thumbnail scrapers." Have fun! :)
They are usually used for scraping hides like rabbit and larger ones for larger game animals. That's why there are different sizes. Women usually did most of the hide scraping.
Thanks for the additional information, Shellwoman!
Rick, you’ve got a good eye for finding the stone tools 🎉 I keep an eye out for anything unusual but haven’t found any tools
Of course it depends on the area and the indians avoided some places just like we do, but there is a knack to looking. Hope to see you in Quartzsite!
Great video guys! 🐾🙏🏻✌🏻🤙🏻
Thank you 🙌
@@gonagain you're welcome.
I am always filled with envy that you get to do what you do. I would love to go to other parts of the west to camp and have fun. I don't have enough income to do it and also I am alone and that makes me scared. I know there are women who do it but I don't think I could. Glad you're having fun. If I could I would contribute to the "thanks" button. :)
Hello Shari, thank you for watching and commenting on our videos! It can take time to work up to a long road trip by yourself and it does cost a lot in gas these days, but you can have a great time staying local and just doing overnighters until you get the hang of things. Don't worry about the "Thanks" button.
What an amazingly beautiful spot! I love the loneliest highway area. I'll have to look for that one day. Thank you for sharing. Love your adventures!
We did the loneliest highway the first time when our girls were little and it truly lived up to its name. We had so much fun. And we keep coming back for more.
This video really drives the point home how much I love Nevada's juniper and pinion pine-covered high altitude terrain. I could sit in one spot for days, it would seem. Too, with my trailer nearing road readiness, it's a bittersweet deal that I cannot just hook up right now for a 4 a.m. departure tomorrow morning to meet you guys in Ely or Tonopah for a meal and some PIE.
Soon! though. Thank you for your continuing source of inspiration. Can you plink tin cans in National Forest using subsonic .22 rimfire? That's mostly a rhetorical question... Hee
We'd love to meet you, so get that trailer finished! We plink regularly in NF.
Luv your vids
Thank you!
Interesting
Thank you!
If you have reviewed Star Valley, Wy, I am not finding it. Star valley was named Starvation Valley by Mountain men. There is a gun manufacturer in Freedom, WY called Freedom Arms (in Star Valley). The most beautiful drive I've ever seen, is the highway west to Jackson Hole, WY from Moran Junction. Where the highway opens to a pine-clearing that frames the Tetons. It is breathtaking! Beware of moose on that highway and bonus, you will see mountain goats. Have you been to the Mountain Man Rendezvous in Fort Bridger, WY? Does Linda have a TH-cam Channel?
That's such a beautiful area and you're right, we haven't made a video there yet. We did attend the Mountain Man Rendezvous at Fort Bridger once, but that was before we started making videos. Have you been to the Mountain Man Museum in Pinedale, WY yet? That place amazes me. Also, I highly recommend you visit Bent's Fort near Pueblo, CO for a real immersion into that era. Sounds like we like the same era.
Good stuf.
I would love to see how you would straighten that arrow. Heck why stop there, how about the arrowhead and fletching? Just trying to give ideas for future videos and that would be really fun.
I do know how to straighten walking sticks over a fire and, you're right, that might make an interesting video!
Yup, I pick up trash in and about our alley from the human slobs that toss it out their truck windows.
I have picker tool and 5 gallon bucket.
I also keep an interest in arrowhead/spear identification, using TH-cams like the ditchwalker, points 365, heartbreaker relics, pinebelt relics and coyote arrowhead hunting.
Scrapers, knives and tools are typically not catalogued like arrowheads and spearheads/knives . Spears are fairly large, arrowheads are finger nail size, and usually made from flakes.
When you finally find a spear head, I can try to ID it for you using the time stamp of your TH-cam.
Thanks, John, I'd appreciate it.
Listening to you talk about the Indians and their abilities reminds me of something my father would tell me. Mostly after I did something stupid. He would tell me I belonged to the Semi-Hole Tribe as I was certainly half-assed.
Lol!!!
What you found where called scrapers.
If only those Indians had Amazon back then... Just think where we'd be today! Lol Love your travel shows! Be safe!😊
If only..... Thanks for watching our videos, we sure appreciate it.
How often do you change your air filter Rick? Great video thanks 😊
About 2 to 3 times a year, depending on conditions.
❤
My husband loves his hammer drill! Thanks for the information. I'm the navigator so this app will come in good for our trip next year. Just worried about gas prices. Your walking stick looks just like mine. Is that an agave catus bloom stick? This was such a good video. Thank you.
Thanks for watching! The app that is much better that Linda uses can be found on the Playstore. It shows all public lands, not just BLM. It's called US Public Lands.
Hey Rick, As I was watching you use the "plane", it occurred to me that in my relatively well equipped modern workshop, I had no tool at all that could do that job as well as the one you were using. Maybe my draw knife, but it's too big and would be too aggressive. Can you think of a modern hand tool that would do it? Maybe a block plane?
Great Video.
As a retired toolmaker I always said that toolmaking is the second oldest profession in world!
Back before we had routers with all different shapes of bits, we had planes with many shapes of blades that would cut the grooves for different moldings. That's about the only thing I can think of, because these stone tools were worked to have a rounded cut-out to fit an arrow shaft.
Hey I think we drove through Ely Nevada a couple years ago when we drove America's Loneliest Highway. I like your camp spot. Very cool to know there's blm camping out there. We basically just drove through Nevada. We made a stop at the midway station (think that's what it's called) and overnighted there. And checked out an area with petroglyphs. Haha good tip not to camp in someone's front yard. Cool tools find. Wouldn't have known that one was a plane. It is neat that stuff is still laying on the surface. Ok love that you're showing us how it works. Very cool. Great vid, guys!
Thanks!
Thank you Rick and Linda for this great video. I wouldn't mind tagging along with you guys. Not very knowledgeable with Google maps and how to search for blm or national forest. Thank you
We used to just drive around and explore, so using Google Earth is kinda new to us too.
I really enjoy you two showing us the camps and enjoying each other's observations.
Still I have concern in the back of my mind...,
especially Linda, 'discovery mode' frame-of-mind, focused for artifacts on the ground. And you mentioned she left early in the morning.
And this day's camp area, near the water source.... I worry the Black Bears and Mountain Lions also needing to visit that same site - cats stake-out the approach and there was so much brush for concealment.
I always considered the morning sightings and evidence to be the most potentially dangerous. They're night-hunters, foraging and exploiting all night. So any still out at day-break, I always considered they were probably unsuccessful that night, so it's late for them, but still willing to test the peoples.
Don't let your fears hold you back, because you'll find that the natural world is predictable and it's a joy to be out in it. Just take common sense measures to stay safe; know where camp is at all times, wear proper clothing, bring water and survival items if your venturing out away from camp, carry some sort of defensive tool and know how to use it. Most of all, get out there!
@@gonagain Yes, I think I understand you. I am about 5 months from retirement and venturing out. A Cargo trailer with my own layout is really inspiring me. I like the idea of selecting highly portable, modular components.
I have it in my mind that I will do my own ventures, explore like you do, and I'm actually interested to totally re-review many of your videos - you do such a great job
👍
Good video as usual. I noticed what looks like a damper with an orange handle. What size pipe is that, and do you have a link to it. Thanks for sharing.
The damper is a regular one and is just above the top of the stove (3" pipe). What you see is a valve to close the flue completely when we are traveling, so that I can pressurize the trailer to keep the dust out while traveling dirt roads. amzn.to/3PXbwfE
@@gonagain Thanks for the reply. Do you think it could be used as a damper in a small wood stove? It might not be able to take the high temperature?
Morning guys. Do you have a link to that app? Or its exact name. All that would show on my phone are paid apps. Have fun.
Very cool, Reminds me of my youth. My father made sure that we knew of our native American heritage. We were taught how our ancestors made weapons and farming tools... toys also! No gloves though. Lol thanks Rick and Linda. Are those GPS locations up to date. My experience is that the terrain is usually different than the GPS image currently available? Safe travels Perry
I know what you mean about the satellite view being out of date. We keep that in mind and also rely on paper maps.
Thanks for sharing your adventure! No BLM land near we’re I live! 😞Thanks Rick& Linda.
Wife and I enjoy your travels. Those gloves you are using look very comfortable and flexible? Is there a link? Thanks.
I found them on Amazon, here's my Amazon affiliates link for you. If you use it I'll make a small commision: amzn.to/3F3y1cw
Have you considered (GMRS) radios for when you are out of sight / voice of each other while walking around?
I'll have to check the radios we're using, I think they're GMRS capable.
@@gonagain Any radio. My wife also tends to wander off to explore, so I make sure she has a radio. 🙂
Have you 2 considered a "Viewer's Camp Out"? I'm down for that if you decide to! I'll bring pie ;-)
We had a meet up in Quartzsite in January and met a lot of nice people. And had 1 pie...lol. We may do something again this spring but not sure yet.
@@gonagain I understand the Quartzite thing, but I’m thinking something less desert 🌵 and above 7k feet with mountains, streams and bears 🐻 😝.
Since I live in the Sonoran desert already, wink wink.
Maybe even winter ❄️ in said mountains!
Yes Rick, I hope to visit Nevada my favorite state. However I will be exploring alone since I have no wife at 81. But I will always know that my Saviour, the Lord Je'sus Christ is with me.
He is the best traveling partner. God Bless you, Alvis.
