Im from UK, but I seen mountain lions leap 18 feet over a man and up a cliff. It looked 8+ feet stretched out in full leap! They'd happily drag part of a deer up there for a good lunch. P.S climb down on your belly, not your back (I rock climb).
I love the way you two put the fence up. If i ever had my own property i would do the same thing. You two are number 1 on my list to watch. I think i watched all your videos. Just love the music on your videos !!!! Thank you so much.
@@shereneliscom6736 wow thank you so much!! We really appreciate that! We love our fencing ☺️❤️ glad we invested in it! 😀 thank you SO much for watching and for leaving such a kind and encouraging comment! ☺️❤️
What an awesome day y’all had! Way neat! Does Jason always have such an active imagination? Congratulations to Alyssa’s brother and best of luck to him!
Thank you! Hahaha!! Yeah, I do- especially in those kind of situations 😂 any time there’s potential history involved, my mind takes off! I was trying my best to tame it down lol
lol I need to do more running! I was winded climbing up there 😂 And we have a Sony A7IV for our good camera and we use DJI Osmo Action Fours (like a GoPro) when we don’t have the big camera 😊
That would’ve definitely been better idea! I wasn’t confident in my climbing abilities though, and I thought I might have to jump either way… I didn’t want to get stuck and have to jump off backwards lol
Wow! Best video yet! A truly hair raising adventure, with spectacular scenery too. Nobody else has given us this. Thank you! Earlier, and at24:00+24:25 you showed a pile of fire making material called kindling that was obviously collected by a person, as no trees are grow inside there. You should notify the nearest university. They may want to investigate, to see if it's worth doing an archeological dig. They might also have historical info on it. Big thanks to your dad for sparking your interest in this, and telling you about it. Love to you all! ❤
@@MTN_BUILT I'm not sure of the time stamp, but when you were inside and showing us the smoke on the wall the same pile of kindling was clearly visible, although at that point you didn't talk about it. Later on (unsure of the time) you did though. You said that it looked like someone had prepared a fire but never lit it. You were right. But a smart person would not burn all of their kindling at once, after hauling it up there. It's a valuable resource. They would only use some as a firestarter, and then add gradually bigger branches, and then a log or 2. I really think you should make a phone call to the university and let them know about this historical cave! I love you both and what you are doing so much! It's my dream! But a small woman alone without money can't make it happen. I'm too old now, so I live through you and Alyssa. I wish you and your families and animals so much happiness! And thank you so much for sharing your time with us. You have sparked a deep interest in mules too. Love from Barb in Alberta. ❤🐴🐎🐴❤
@@cattymajiv that’s a great point! Maybe it was just a stash of fire starter 😊 first, I just thought it was a packrat nest, but then I thought it might not be because of how loosely stacked it was 😊… I’m obviously not an expert though lol 🤷🏻♂️
@@MTN_BUILT I'm not an expert either. Lol! But is most definately a human created pile. Brought there and piled up by people, not nature. Maybe they were the ones who brought animal parts in too. Maybe a starving person who brought a few found peices of meat. I wonder why the skeletons were so incomplete?
@@MTN_BUILT PS. I watch a LOT of archaeology, and I think that when bones are broken in that way it's to access the marrow. Did you bring any bones back? If you did, look very closely at them with a magnifying glass, and see if you can identify any cut marks on them (called striations). They may be very faint and few, but if they are there you should still be able to recognize the repetitive nature of them, and the fact that that a metal knife (or even a rock tool) made them. Cut marks would definately prove humans had cut them, but if they are absent, it doesn't necessarily prove anything. Use a magnifying glass to look at your own bones from a steak, pork chops or chicken, and you'll see the type of marks. I also wonder why there is that much smoke, but yet so few bones. Sorry to be such a pest. I'll stop now. It's just that this video was SO VERY captivating! You should really be sure to make the title as descriptive as possible, and add words to the thumbnail that are just a tad clickbaity, because this video is FANTASTIC, and it could blow up, and bring in MANY new viewers! Ok. Stopping now. Thank you so much, and all the best to you! From Barb in Alberta. ❤🐴🐎🐴❤
@@MTN_BUILTdefinitely smoke . Mountain Lions honestly have no trouble getting up into the cave with a deer carcass in mouth Get you a rope ladder 2)-50 feet long. Light weight and easily packed on mules.
@@dalewadsworth5703 that’s what I thought too (about the smoke)! 😊 And that’s a great idea about the ladder… it would be fun to go back and take another look! … maybe dig around a little better
How lucky you guys have each other to go explore stuff together. So cool. My hub doesn't ride ......yet. haa. He loves mules but he's not quite convinced that riding is fun. He likes exploring caves though. Probably more than I do. Ha.
Haha! Yes, we’re super fortunate to have each other 😊 … it felt weird finishing this adventure without Alyssa! That’s pretty rare for us. Lol maybe he’ll come around! At least he enjoys them- that’s a great start 😊🙌🏼
The beauty of the area at7:35is just stunning! This is a dream I had all my life, but I was never lucky enough to find a partner to share it with, and 1 small woman without money can't do it alone. 😭😢😭
That’s a good question! It may help with flies in horses, but mule manes are short and only about half flopped over, so they don’t do much in the way of protecting the mule from anything, they look disheveled and unkept without trimming their manes. But I totally agree about horses manes- they look pretty when they’re nice and long 😊
It wouldn't be very hard with the right shoes! It's a little silly that they forgot to take running shoes! But then I've gone places without equipment too! 😉
@@cattymajiv yeah silly! But we had never been and had no idea we would have to climb up a rock. We never like to pack more weight on the mules than needed, so we usually don’t throw in extra stuff other than emergency kit/gear. We ride in our hiking boots when we know we will be hiking, but this time we didn’t think we would be. It wasn’t a big deal to just go back. 😊
@@MTN_BUILT Coming back down in cowboy boots must have been SUCH a nightmare! Coming down is usually harder than up. I admire you and Alyssa and your life so much. Thank you for sharing part of your life and for this spectacular video! I'm really stopping for good this time! Lol! 😉 ✌🏼
@@cattymajiv thank you SO MUCH! We really appreciate the kind words! And it’s super fun to hear your passion for this kind of video! I love it! 😊🙌🏼 Have a great weekend! 😊
You're def brave! 😅 Awesome cave for sure, but I'da fallen no doubt.😬 Build lil stairs with safety rail maybe that go up along the side to it. That'd be fun then!
I did some splunicking in Virginia we have to go underwater to enter and when you got in there was a stream that went through the mountain and we discovered a small lake that was crystal clear but it's dangerous so always be careful let someone know you're there and always have supplies with you of course there weren't any cell phones back then loved your video looked like fun thanks kray
@@MTN_BUILT Kray is so right! Please, in future don't climb back up unless you at least have 1 more person with you, and you have stuff like a proper first aid kit, food, a blanket or some warm jackets, etc, in case you do get injured and have to be left, while the other person goes for help.
There should be something on the ground still showing a fire was there at one time… maybe dig around a little bit… wouldn’t it be cool if somebody years ago buried something in there somewhere in one of those cracks or something… that’s awesome… thanks for the video buddy…
That would be awesome! I’d really like to go back… but I’d definitely bring some sort of ladder system next time! lol Thanks for watching and taking time to leave a nice comment!
Is there a spring or creek aka water source near by? If yes then it's 98% likely the native Americans used that cave.... I'm sure that valley below at one time was covered with buffalo!
Actually yes, there’s a big spring that comes out of the ground down in the bottom … that’s a great point! It would be so cool to see buffalo down in that valley!
I had no idea fire could make burn marks like that on rock walls thats so amazing! I wonder if it was a hideout or something like a shelter folks stopped at on hunting trips. Cool to imagine what stayed there 😂
Yeah, I thought that was super cool! My imagination always takes over when I find potentially historic places like that lol it’s pretty fun to think about who might have spent time in that cave 😊
Chicken bones are hollow. We would burn all our left overs to keep animals away at night. Looks like someone went to the back into a dip to burn. That keeps the wind off the fire but it also helps not make a fire obvious unless your extremely close. Its pretty cool!
Speaking of how tired your mule is towards that start of the video. How do you know when they are at their limit of miles and/or elevation gain? or need water?
That’s a great question! We usually give them a break when we can feel them start to labor and slow down going up hill… we could easily push them harder, but we tend to take it easy on them… we’re almost never in a hurry 😊 And they can go all day without water, but if there’s any water around, we give them a chance to drink 😊
Suggestion, since you guys are doing a lot of trail riding and I’m not sure if you carry a equine first aid kit with you…. If so maybe do a video of what’s in your first aid kit 🤷🏼♂️
That’s a great idea! We actually filmed a video about that last year, but we didn’t like how it turned out so she never posted it… we definitely should redo it! Thanks for the suggestion 😊🙌🏼
Common rule is get ride of scrapes from bigger hungry animals so in a cave when you are done to avoid opening up the smell on the outside. So it looks like a Chicken leg bone and burn the rest or it could have been no wood situation and burn bone and anything already there
@@MTN_BUILT I hunt lost gold and help people find ground for mining you should consider getting a good metal detector and go back up there the only reason people share the location is just maybe there something there waiting for you to find. My dad told me when he dies that I will need to find his money that is hidden the only clue I have is I have been there with him around 20 years ago but that hunt has not begun yet.
My wife had the same thought when I showed her the footage… I just couldn’t believe they could carry those big ones up there, but they were definitely in their nests. I feel like the burnt bone was definitely cooked by a human in the back of the cave though 😊
@@MTN_BUILT if you dont mind me asking, what general area are you guys? I'm from Arizona originally ( oklahoma now) I miss the west badly. So much freedom to explore out there and lots of cool things to see.
lol mule manes just don’t grow right! 😂 I don’t like it when they’re all the way trimmed off (like cedar’s in this video) but I think they look good with like a 2 inch mohawk 😊
@@MTN_BUILT Yeah, I agree. As much as they can grow, the more the better. If it get's in the way of a breastplate's attachment to the saddle somehow, I can see trimming that spot, though I can't see that it would. I know you've discussed that previously. And I know their manes are not as full or well behaved as those on horses, which seems to be the main reason for clipping them. You were right that shaving or cutting it short is called roaching. Just like the short remains of a "marijuana cigarette" or joint. Lol! Thanks for teaching us so much about these wonderful animals that most people know little about! I truly am stopping now, and I don't expect replies to everything I said. I was just overcome with enthusiasm for this video, and your and Alyssa's adventure in life. It's truly just wonderful! From Barb in Edmonton Alberta. ❤🐴🐎🐴❤
We should have, we ride in boots a lot if we know we will be hiking. But we hadn’t been to the cave before and didn’t know we would have to climb to get in lol. We always carry an in-reach just Incase
Looks like a chicken leg bone to me. Cuz, why wouldn't you pack in fried chicken then toss the bones in the fire so you can bust them open for marrow and to not draw predators.
That sounds like the pro move! A couple people have suggested that, but I didn’t trust my abilities enough and I figured I’d have to jump at some point lol
Dude you are in a mountain lion den, duh. Funny you can't see how a mountain lion can climb, and smoke was way before lion decided to live there. Thought you were country, must be another city boy buy some land and thinks they country lol.
lol I think your spot on about the cat using that cave! And I feel like the smoke is older too… who really knows though 😊🤷🏻♂️ I still think it’s impressive that a cat could drag an animal up that ledge… guess it makes sense though considering African cats can pull antelope into trees 😊

As you jumped off the rock I was picturing you in your next video, wearing a cast. Glad you didn't get hurt.
lol I was licking the same thing before I jumped! 😂😬
I am scared 😳 of heights and going down would have given me a heart attack. So glad you made it 😊
Thank you! I am too, actually! Lol It was totally worth it though! 😊
That cave reminds me of a Louis Lamour story
Haha! It really does! Thats a great point 😊 I felt like Tel Sackett a little bit lol
Very interesting for sure! Likely used by natives of days far past.
That’s what I was thinking too! It’s just a perfect cave 😊
Best looking mule is a roached mane 👌
And… how many pushups do you do a day 😂💪 and what kind of camera do yall run?
Yesss! We totally agree 😊🙌🏼 They just don’t look right with a dinky little flopped over mane lol
lol I need to do more running! I was winded climbing up there 😂 And we have a Sony A7IV for our good camera and we use DJI Osmo Action Fours (like a GoPro) when we don’t have the big camera 😊
Smoke can also indicate a primitive mining, shattering the rock with fire before working it out with a bar and pick. Your treasure may await !!
Oh wow! Thats super interesting! 😊 Thanks for sharing!
Just found your channel love the content .. yes its definitely an old native hang out fire silt marks and the roof is covered it’s old
Oh that’s awesome! Thank you so much! 😊 I thought the same thing… it’s pretty crazy to think about. My mind always starts to wander lol
Climb down facing the rock, finding foot holds as you go down. Much safer!
That would’ve definitely been better idea! I wasn’t confident in my climbing abilities though, and I thought I might have to jump either way… I didn’t want to get stuck and have to jump off backwards lol
That is a Awesome cave..
🇺🇸🇺🇸👍🏻👍🏻
It was! If it wasn’t for the virus you can get from rat poo we would have dug through there more to see if there was anything covered.

How do the mules respond when they encounter snakes?

Hey! Thank you for watching! We’re actually in Idaho 😊
Yall in one them buckaroo states ain't ya? Lol beautiful up there. What state?
lol yep! Maybe the best buckaroo state- Idaho (I’ll be honest, Nevada is the ultimate buckaroo country, but we like it up here) 😊👍🏼
Bat poop can sell for between $10.00 and $ 130.00 per pound. FYI
Seriously? We’ve found the mother lode! 😊🙌🏼
Should have brought a rope ladder.
That would be a much better way to get in and out! 😊
Rabbit maybe
That would make sense… there’s quite a few running around that area

Bones were fried by DEW
Az pack 🐀
Yeah! There was a ton of packrat sign in there 😬
Could be an old campsite of Jeffery Dahmer...you might take a metal detector up there...just saying 😅
lol I’m glad I didn’t think about that when I was in there… I did think about Claude Dallas though!
I would never think your dumb & a poor climber, i think its so intresting the bones you found in that cave.
Haha well thank you! Aren’t those cool? They are definitely very old! 😀
You should have had a metal detector to see if you could find some coins or treasure
That would be super fun! That’s a good idea 😊
Please don't trim her mane! It's so pretty! That's like cutting off all your girlfriend's hair! I'm going to HATE it!
lol mule manes just don’t grow right! 😂 I don’t like it when they’re all the way trimmed off (like cedar’s in this video) but I think they look good with like a 2 inch mohawk 😊
@@MTN_BUILT Yeah, I agree. As much as they can grow, the more the better. If it get's in the way of a breastplate's attachment to the saddle somehow, I can see trimming that spot, though I can't see that it would.
I know you've discussed that previously. And I know their manes are not as full or well behaved as those on horses, which seems to be the main reason for clipping them. You were right that shaving or cutting it short is called roaching. Just like the short remains of a "marijuana cigarette" or joint. Lol!
Thanks for teaching us so much about these wonderful animals that most people know little about! I truly am stopping now, and I don't expect replies to everything I said. I was just overcome with enthusiasm for this video, and your and Alyssa's adventure in life. It's truly just wonderful! From Barb in Edmonton Alberta.
❤🐴🐎🐴❤
Looks good either way. Beautiful animals ya got there.🤠🐴
You should have brought hiking boots !
You shouldn't be climbing that cliff alone. If you fall and get hurt you're screwed.
We should have, we ride in boots a lot if we know we will be hiking. But we hadn’t been to the cave before and didn’t know we would have to climb to get in lol. We always carry an in-reach just Incase
Looks like a chicken leg bone to me. Cuz, why wouldn't you pack in fried chicken then toss the bones in the fire so you can bust them open for marrow and to not draw predators.
It looks like a bird bone to us too! ☺️
Just think how did they drag wood up that face to burn in that cave, desperate people will do desperate thing's to survive too.
That’s a good question and a great point! Makes me thankful for our nice, warm, safe home! 😊🙏🏼
next time turn around first
That sounds like the pro move! A couple people have suggested that, but I didn’t trust my abilities enough and I figured I’d have to jump at some point lol
Dude you are in a mountain lion den, duh. Funny you can't see how a mountain lion can climb, and smoke was way before lion decided to live there. Thought you were country, must be another city boy buy some land and thinks they country lol.
lol I think your spot on about the cat using that cave! And I feel like the smoke is older too… who really knows though 😊🤷🏻♂️
I still think it’s impressive that a cat could drag an animal up that ledge… guess it makes sense though considering African cats can pull antelope into trees 😊
