- Hi Guys, This week I go out on a solo backpacking adventure in remote central Nevada and discover unexplored red rock country. This is off road and by passed lands that exist in Nevada's wild outback! I travel here and backpack in, set up a camp and make dinner while exploring rarely seen desert lands of wild North America.
I also do a quick gear load out of all my essential backpacking gear!
Let's Explore this!!

Man, you've got the most chill hiking/backpacking/camping channel out there. I love your gear load out style, not afraid to pack everything you need for a good time by obsessing over weight. Love your videos and jealous of your adventures.
Joe Thompson I agree brother. 👍
I appreciate that! More adventures coming!
Love this channel! Shared it on FB!
I love the way you handle wildlife encounters. I know I would freak out!
Chris, when I was young, my grandparents had a cottage on Black Lake, upper NYS. The access into the road was serviced by a similar gate. I jumped out to open for my grandfather to drive in, as I closed it I was on the wrong side of the gate! They never let me forget that hysterical mistake each time we would arrive at the cottage! Great memories.

You lighting up those high rocks looked like Mount Rushmore.
Thanks Chris, for taking us along on ANOTHER AMAZING journey!
Lightning up the rocks for some ambience was a nice touch
Thanks...it was fun! mini light show!
I love the artistic, spiritual rock form-formations. I see faces, and forms .
I love your show, very entertaining!
I live camping, so very relatable.
He's not a "Captain", he's a Quaker!
You're so funny 😆
BLM Land is one of the greatest forms of public lands. Here on the East Coast you don't run into it. So I'm envious when I get to see others who get to enjoy it. Thanks for taking us out on an amazing trip out there and showing how important those lands are for us.
Thank you- yes some wide open country out there...I'll be heading back soon/ also have one I'm editing. ( for next week )
U would think BLM would have used their money in the inner cities, but instead they buy mansions and wilderness. What a scam!!!
Hi Chris I am going to cook next time ok but love the time you share with us . Always cook vegetables in water for a lil while then add meat then noodles no soggy food . I love your channel be safe always Lucy
I've seen so many of your outdoor videos. I'm 31 and have never done any of this before, you've given me inspiration to go on an adventure. Thanks a bunch.
NOW we're talkin'!!!!!! Can't ask for better than THAT for a good camping soup!!!!!
Awe Man !!!!! Those Lights on those Rocks are Just Stunning ❤
Love that you’re back hiking and camping again 😊
Lol so awesome coffee music 🤩
Great way to start your day !!
Hello Chris, thank you for sharing this very informative and entertaining video. The bobcat was actually 'Crazy Bob,. He is an unpredictable big cat. I like your version of the 'bobcat' call. I like your organizational skills. Hopefully soon, the fire season will be over and you can get back to hiking in California.
All the best to you Chris. Take care, be safe, have fun and stay healthy.
🤗
Thank you Ronald !! Yes- they are wild and unpredictable...the smoke is a problem/ miss freely heading out and exploring/ always looking for a small break.
Beautiful area you found! I love Nevada! If you were there in late summer, it was probably around mating season. I've seen a couple bobcats during my trail runs. I run in the Marin Headlands and I usually see the most animals when it's really foggy. One time, I was running along on a foggy early morning and a bobcat was ahead of me, running on the trail, which is really rare, and no matter what, he stayed on the trail. I made lots of noise, he just stayed running along the trail ahead of me. I think he was looking for rabbits. Eventually, he took off. I've only seen a mountain lion once. It was far enough ahead of me and it took off quick.
Wow - interesting story! The big cats are awesome and still somewhat of a mystery.
He made a good bobcat Bob growl!!! Lucky it wasn't a bigfoot
Nice, I enjoyed getting away for a bit, there. You eat better than I do at home! Great vid as usual, love from England U.K.
Great video, Chris. My wife and I loved the bobcat story and the set-up for this trip (exploring / uncharted) really makes it stand out. That and your friendly personality make this one of the best hiking videos I've seen this year. Keep it up!
Oh thank you! Love to explore new areas...make new finds. Will Keep Hiking!
It was wonderful wasn't it!
Chris, I really enjoyed another one of your hiking in the Nevada desert videos, as always keep hiking and keep up the good work!
You crack me up...Bobcat Bob! Too funny. That's why I love this channel. It makes me feel better.
Fantastic Video! Scenery, Great Narrating, Perfect Weather and no crowds. Thanks For Sharing it.
Welcome...Thank you very much! I enjoy finding those out of the way places.
Another fantastic video, thanks Chris. Loved the bobcat Bob story - and yes, you’re right, we all crave the gear talk! Keep hiking and keep filming - we love it.
Thanks! Will do! I will Keep Hiking!
Great video Chris ! Man is the most dangerous predator! You’ll be fine till you run into one of them ! Again your gave the greatest personality 😂
I'll keep an eye out for these...Hu...Mans!
I love this one Chris! ❤️
Another great video. I’m glad we don’t have the same wildlife to think about here in Scotland.
Thanks 👍
Thanks for the gear breakdown. Great video as always-stay safe and keep hiking!
Thanks D Rob, will do!
I live very close to Tonopah by Nevada standards. It's beautiful country out this way. I'm from Washington State (which I miss the outdoors there greatly) but made my day to Nevada when the pandemic started. I'm enjoying seeing you so close to my home. I enjoy hiking out here.
Very cool! Yes...it is wide open country...beautiful desert.
Here's a nice tip: you could have added the vegetables to the boiling water for a bit. Take the raw off them.
yeah good idea...less crunchy too! KH!
Fantastic overnighter! I am with ya on the chair. I think there is a certain age where a chair becomes a necessity! haha! That was some wildlife encounter story and your right, you sure must have peeved him/her off. Thanks for sharing. :)
So true! Very welcome. The bobcat took it personnel...turns out they have regular nightly routes when they are on the hunt...they travel from 2-7 miles a night. I was just traffic on his commute to work!
Jacqueline the one pound weight of a chair is soooo worth it when relaxing at camp, and helps you recover even better for the next day!
@@InfamousMS You are so right Mike! I have a very light one something like Chris's and the great wilderness camp chair from Jeep ( youtube channel EconoChallenge). If I know there will be trees I take this one but if I am unsure then the free standing chair.
Grab these moments while you can..amazing opportunity.
I haven't lived in Nevada for over twenty years. But if you have a store called Aldi's you can save on many foods there like nuts,dried fruits, oatmeal, trail mix. Good things to take along. Thank you for taking us with you.
Very cool!
Thanks ADV...Nevada is a hidden gem!
Thanks Chris, Another Great Adventure....To Bobcat Bob State Park! I enjoyed it very much.
Glad you enjoyed it
I've driven that highway dozens of times. I wish I had known about this BLM area. My next trip, I'm heading there. So beautiful. Thanks
Very nice video, I enjoyed it, thanks.
Thank you very much!
Such an amazing location and thank you sharing your adventure. Already looking forward to your next trip.
Glad you enjoyed it! Yes...enjoy getting out there!
stunning spot
Your story about bobcat bob had me laughing! Love the cat sounds😂
Good stories Chris, my wife and I love to hear about them.
A small perhaps cut smaller.. garden rake head ...that attached to a branch... would be great for clearing a site....
That's interesting! yes nobody wants to sleep on a pile of pine cones or rocks.
I sure love watching your vids! Thanks for all the adventures Chris!
Chris, love your adventures and stories. Very beautiful campsite you have there. I live in Arizona and wherever I go out backpacking in my high desert areas. I set my camp next to juniper trees as well. BTW, the noodles, chicken and veggies dinner you made looks so good. Keep making videos, Chris
I kept looking for Little Joe, Hoss, Adam and Ben Cartwright to come around the bend or walk over the cliff tops or riding their horses on the flat land or shooting from behind those orange rocks!
I love the stories.
great!
Chris I love your programs no matter what you do.im disabled and I love that beautiful scenery you bring to us. The stories of bigfoot whom I'm really acquainted with, ghost stories it's all just wonderful. I wish I'd took time to enjoy life.im 68 yrs old female. I love God and his country.God Bless and keep on hiking!
I'm enjoying your videos- it's nice to see unexplored parts of my home state.
Glad to hear it! I'll be doing more of these types of trips...Nevada is a wide open place.
Chris you are one brave person,
🇨🇦you are never afraid of spending the night places. 🌞✨
Next time you make this meal, after choosing the vegetables, dice them tiny before you put them in the baggie… that way you don’t have to use the cutting board at all !
Then… add those tiny veggies to your water before you boil the water and let them cook a bit while the water comes to a boil! If cut tiny enough, they will be cooked!
Love the videos man keep it up. I live in Reno so it’s cool to see all the places you go that are near me.
Very cool! Nevada is an under appreciated state...rough country but still beautiful!
How’s that there South Meadows area these days?
Chris found his own National Park. The area sort of looks like a ‘’faded’’ Bryce Canyon.
Good video
Thanks
Thanks for sharing. Made me miss my days living in Nevada and enjoying the hikes there.
Wide open country out here! Welcome.
Woooow! That is an amazing place!!
It's fun to find places like that still...Keep Hiking!
Good that you're well prepared 😉
Always great gear and you demo it all love it! Good stuff!
Thank you Dan ! Appreciate it.
Excellent video, beautiful country, great to see another over nighter video. Was in Colorado past 2 weeks hiking the CT , smoke was bad there,ruined all the great views!!
Colorado is beautiful country and 2 weeks ! ...to bad the smoke ruined your views...totally relate. ( been challenging out here )
Beautiful video, I had to laugh when you said, "Bob Cat Bob" doesn't read wikapedia, God blessed you with lots of energy
That's why I love my Nevada. I just did the Ruby Crest Trail. There are hunters there and it is a
Trail hike. But there are tons of these areas to do this in........
You are doing what I like to do in Nevada all the time...........
That is awesome! The Ruby is a High one!
epic campsite mate
Thanks 303!
THANKS CHRIS, BEAUTIFUL DESERT ! ( COOL MUSIC TOO ) , SURE WISH YOU'D CARRY A 45 , AND A GARMIN " FIND ME ". I'VE TAKEN A REAL LIKING TO YOU. ( MAYBE A PARDNER? ) I'LL KEEP YOU IN MY PRAYERS BRO , YOUR A VERY COOL GUY. 👍💪❤🙏
Cool old-school coffee commercial. ✌️
Yes it was! Thanks for watching!
Another quality video Chris...great to see what you take and how it’s stored......your fellow osprey/GSI outdoors fan from the uk 👍🏻👏🏻😀
Thank You Alastair! 👍 I'll do more like that.
Chris ain't no GSI "Miranda." US loves the outside support, and we bring a solid 1/3 of the best gear to the table, but I honestly feel like the gear Chris uses is straight-up and not sponsored. The products are legit: he ain't paid to use Osprey; it's the best.
Keep Hiking & Keep Sharing 👍
Thank you, I will
Cant wait for another vid with storie.
I like the stories of bigfoot the most but the way you tell stories its really cool.
exotic picnic
In the dirt!
@@basecampchris ok, thanks
I’m just catching up on your story’s wow 3 years ago 🌸🦋🌼
Enjoyed this so much .
And your editing is perfect imo.
In my experience Bobcats are not that intimidated with humans. I don't worry about bears, but mountain lions are stalking us regularly.
They are the silent hunters...bears sound more like a loud, drunk guy trying to make breakfast at 4 in the morning...clang, smash....arrrrgnnnnhhh..yannn!
@@basecampchris lol good one
I have a similar chair. There's really a lot of fantastic chairs today. A MUST have. Especially if someone's "aged" .
Comfortable and practical...
Great video! Awesome place, thanks for sharing! 😊
Thank you Claudia!
Looks fantastic out there 👍😊
@BaseCampChris don't pepper spray if it is windy. Gauge where the wind is blowing before spraying as it can blow back at you... Get Pepper Gel.. It is heavier and less likely to blow back at you.
I have a bobcat story; my boyfriend has 80 acres abutting the nation forest. He and another guy walked about two hundred feet away from the house into the woods behind the house to talk about putting a rustic cabin to rent out in the woods.
While they were standing there and talking plans, a big bobcat came along and went down to stalking towards them. They both were stunned. The other guy stands over 6’ tall and is very big and muscular. Turns to my boyfriend and asked, do you have your gun? My boyfriend says no.
There is a box trailer not to far from them and they were thinking walking slowly backwards towards it to get away from the cat.
The big guy finally raises his arms and screams and yells and the cat finally ran off. It probably got about 10 feet from them.
I wonder what the geological history of this spectacular place is? Thank you for sharing this
that has to be the neatest videos i have ever seen. just head out into the desert and find the remoteness, the views, the bobcat story is kind of spookey, but you are in their neighborhood. good looking set up with the gear, good breakfast, COFFEE in the mornin! i like to think maybe some outlaw or indians 100 years ago camped out there, crazy, you might be the only person to have ever been there? thanks for the tour.
Wow, thanks! Glad you enjoyed it...yes- outlaws , indians and prospectors...coyotes too!
Bear canisters work well on dangerous dogs as well.
But... then you may have to deal with the owner.
Thanks for your videos.
This is one of my favorite videos youve made sir
Thanks Calvin...it was a good adventure.
These non Bigfoot videos are great 😊
you are brave when you always go alone on your journey
you should keep the gun with you in those places
I live near the ruby mountains and yes, dirt road Anthem to some breathe taking areas in Northern Nevada
Plz do kayak adventure again🤩
Yes- good call...
Thx Chris ❤️🙂
4 by 4 most recommended theses places
Yes - Nevada is true 4x4 country with a lot of public land.
that's awesome vlog keep going I like it. you are the best
Thank you! Will do!
you could have parboiled the veggies when water was heating or sauteed them in the frypan!
Yes...i kept it simple. Good idea.
yeah that is a little disconcerting - I heard the same thing around daybreak in the Lakes Basin of the Wallowas (NE Oregon) about a month ago. Did not go back to sleep either :P But still love hearing the wildlife out there 👍🏼
Oh I was happy to hear him too...But - just a little close...( not sure what he really wanted )
@@basecampchris Oh yeah - get that 🤪Especially when they are right up at your tent. I like them from a distance 😎
Love those dollar store cutting boards!
The best! = $1
I often cruise the dollar store for add-ons to my hiking gear
Perfect landscape... love high desert ....
Great country...will go back sometime!
Haha, "Bobcat Bob". 🐅
LOL...he's out there...hope he's not still ticked off !
It looks Beautifull out there, Great video Bob,
From Mark
Thanks 👍
That’s crazy how they got a fence on a path look like some like a ride right around it lol as telling you keep out huh if you don’t if you ain’t welcome
All the nature wild and untouched hope u gota good first aid kit not in the car but in ur bagpack brave⚘️⚘️🐣
would be cool to get a video of whats in the bear can. like your basic kitchen stuff. very nice video. Love your channel - and who doesn't love gear stuff? ;-)
Good idea! The bear canister works well. Backpackers Cache.
Amazing, fantastic scenery of the wilderness....rocks and wild trees...
Glad you enjoyed it...KP HKNG!
Excellent video Chris, thank you.
Very welcome Gholm!
OK Chris, you have to tell us how many tents and campers you have.
I swear some of that place looks like ruins. Wow!!!
Another great video Chris. Just wondering about any concern for rattlesnakes resting under those rocks where you were hiking? Already looking forward to your next video!
Yes, they are out there...always mindful / watching of where I'm stepping...Thank you ! ( I do have a snake kit for bites )
