    Getting out on the road is what Linda and I love to do with our converted cargo trailer camper. We're part time nomads and the nomadic lifestyle suits us to a Tee. Whether your RV is a camper van, camp trailer, travel trailer, motorhome or just a car and a tent, there's going to be something interesting for you in the videos we produce. Back roads and overlanding are part of what we do while exploring the western states for beautiful, peaceful and sometimes remote places to camp on BLM and National Forest land (public land). Taking care of ourselves as much as possible and doing our own repairs is a must because we travel on a fixed income and a limited budget. If your into being off-grid and boondocking, or doing dispersed camping whenever possible then you'll appreciate the discussions on batteries, solar panels and solar chargers or power stations and 12v refrigeration. Come on along, we're happy to have your company!

    I've been a private property owner in Oregon and Wyoming for all of my 74 years. If there's no destruction, I don't care if somebody camps or hunts or fishes on "my" land. I could not care less. Leave gates as you find them. Leave NO TRASH as sign of your passing. If you see me, acknowledge our ownership with deference to our cost in labor and treasure. Ask if it is open, if there are any rules, and we will be happy for you to Enjoy it with us.
    Excellent explanation of a microburst, BTW! I enjoy spending time hanging out with folks like you!

      This was a problem also in the past here in Scotland. Now however we have a law allowing 'the right to roam' so the general public have access to pretty much wherever you want to go as long as your not walking through folks gardens of course. It has worked well so far.

    Here in Oregon we struggle with the checkerboard system of BLM and private land ownership. I use OnX to identify where private land and public lands border each other. I never camp near the line so hopefully I’m safe. What is really aggravating is where a forest or BLM road (publicly maintained) going through a small private section is gated and prevents access to a large section of public land. The big timber companies are especially guilty of that. We pay taxes on millions of acres that are inaccessible to public use because the government allows this. Just not right!

    • @gonagain
      @gonagain  2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      We see that here in Montana too, but in the last decade they've made progress in fixing that with land swaps and other measures to gain access for the public. There's still places that need attention though!

      @@valeriefromoregon I fully support the rights of private property. I grew up in Oregon in a ranching family and also owned my own 600 acre ranch in the Central Oregon Ochoco mountains bordered on 2 sides by the Nat’l Forest. If you own land bordered by public land it’s your responsibility to post it, especially if it’s unfenced. It’s not illegal for folks to camp “near” your land if they’re on public land. Just because someone is fortunate enough to own land near public land doesn’t give you the right to a “buffer” zone extending into the public land.

      @@valeriefromoregon I support your right to protect your privacy and property. I believe you missed my point. In isolated areas the restriction of access to large plots of public land because of poor governmental practices is the root of the problem. I’ve fought fires, escorted trespassers and poachers off my land and agree that people need to respect the rights of private ownership but owners have the responsibility of identifying their property so those just wanting to enjoy the outdoors can do so.

      This is not something the government "allows". The government needs to secure legal easement just like anybody else would have to do. The Federal government has been really bad about securing those easements over the years.There are landowners who sometimes fence roads where legal easement exists and a local federal office can tell you if that road has legal access or not. Many gates are just to keep livestock in and we just need to respect that and shut the gates behind you. Most will post a gate like that.

    When we did field research we camped near the sites probably sometimes on private but not fenced or signed land . We did have locals ask what we were up to but they said it was fine with them we were there a few days (we never did a fire in that situation) some even invited us to come by their ranch house to visit which we did sometimes. They gave us some food and lemonade and chatted quite awhile. We got some extra info on the area and they learned a bit about our study, all good. Thanks for the video, info and nice scenery.

    I REALLY enjoy your videos, thank you for them. I remember driving around a corner thru the forest to visit the view of Mt St Helens blast area 2 yrs after the eruption. The absolute devastation from the wind from the blast was indescribable. We drove from lush forest into sheared of trees in the matter of a few hundred feet. It left me with the knowledge of just how insignificant we are against the powers of nature.

    the game warden didnt HAVE to give you a written warning, it was his desecration but i am sure the land owner was being a pain, in Yellowstone county private property has to be posted for you to be trespassing at all. and god forbid you were hunting and stepped off the road on private. i worked in law enforcement for many years and i can tell you with certainty that the only reason a game warden will be talking to you is to determine what kind of ticket they can give you. i am aware that far to many hunters abuse land access and on the other side every fish and game warden i have met has seen me as the one to pay for all of that. To be clear i always respect land owners rights and wishes and follow all hunting regs and have never been ticketed but it is stressful seeing a game warden and knowing he is coming with the attitude that i am guilty of something

    It never used to be too much of a big deal, especially 20-30,40 years ago, today you have a huge explosion of off grid adventurers and you also have strange goings on. I’m quite familiar with people who’ve owned land in National Forests, and I know in some case where the Government wants the land they have, that’s another story.
    Today however land owners really are scared of trespassers, thieves, vandals, & drug growers. You cannot trust anyone either, and if a person gets injured on your land you can get sued. It really is a different world it’s not just a camp out in the woods anymore.

In TN you have to have signs up every one hundred yards and your name and address have to be on them. If you have land out in the middle of nowhere like you said signs are no good. If people want on there they will tear your gates down. Some of the downed trees could of been from a ten feet tall hairy microburst. Great video, beautiful country. You two stay safe

    WOW! I stumbled onto your channel and watching makes me miss Montana even more. We lived there in the 1970s and 80s. We owned Elkhorn Hot Springs from 1977 to 1981. So we lived there and fell in love with the state. When we sold it, we moved to Missoula and loved living there until my career took us to California. But we have always loved Montana and your videos sure make us homesick for it. :) Thank you for making these videos. We look forward to watching many more and following along in your adventures. And one of my favorite sayings is, "I confess, it's all her fault! " hahahaha You two are funny an d fun to watch. :)
    Oh, by the way, yes there is leased land, private land and there is also Mining claims. Mining claims tend to not like it when you camp on their claim too.

    I am kind of in 2 camps I think in a NF you should label your property since it would be hard to tell otherwise it is private property, but I also like the rule that if you are on private property without permission it is trespassing even if not posted because the people that rip signs down can still be written up so it shows they have a tendency to be some place the signs have been torn down. Stay safe and healthy.

There is actually private property in the Middle of Glacier National Park in Montana with private homes on it.

    In Utah, if there are no signs; the owner has to paint a fence post entirely yellow and it can be a tree with a large painted yellow square. I can't remember the spacing between the yellow fence post or trees but there is one. You will have to know what the distance is between the yellow painted trees and also they have a size that the paint has to be. Sometimes you will see old tires draped on fence posts painted yellow this denotes a private property. But sometimes people will deviously paint tires and hang them to stake out their hunting spot to lead you to believe it's private when in fact it's not. So a Forest Service Map is required.

With the refrigeration we always have fresh meats and vegetables on hand to fix something up.
