Not My Best Camping Experience, But Way Better Than a Good Day's Work!

- What a start to the year! COVID-19 is well on its way, fire restrictions have been issued, and more than half the forest is closed minimizing access. I head out on a camping trip only to realize everyone else had the same intentions. It seemed like no matter where I went someone was camping there and to be honest, it felt like rush hour in the mountains.
My preferred style of camping is to be away from people and campgrounds. This was not the case for this trip. I had people camp as close as 50ft away. This trip will go down as not my best camping experience, but still better than a good day's work.

I enjoy your videos. I've ridden ATV's at Cloudcroft and Red River and always enjoyed my trips to NM. Just want to give you a trailering tip. Always cross your safety chains. In some states it is a requirement. From experience, I saved a trailer hitch when a trailer disconnected from my pickup by landing on the X or cross of the chains. It minimized the damage to my trailer. Keep up the good work!
Hey there. I appreciate you watching and commenting on my video. I will have to make the easy change and cross my chains, thanks for the pointer. Man I bet that was a scary experience to have your trailer disconnect like that. I am glad nothing major happened to you.
These two locations are on my radar to go and trail ride. Cloudcroft and Red River is beautiful country. Thanks again. I will begin crossing my chains now.
Time for another installment of ManzanoMan for me this morning!
While that trip didn't work out as you prefer, you still made much of it and was out soaking up the scenery. That view of the San Antonio canyon was mighty impressive! What a great place for a coffee or a beer depending on the time of day.
All my very best to you Ruben, and while this is an older video, just keep them coming as we all enjoy them so much!
Good morning. I hope you’re having a great weekend. This was such a great area to visit. The view alone was worth a night there just to soak in the view. I hope to get new videos up soon. It’s been a few months. But I appreciate your support and comments. Take care my friend.
Cross your chains when you hook up. If your hitch fails it will cradle the tongue and keep it from digging into the pavement.
Good tip! Someone else mentioned it in a comment also and I have began crossing my chains. It's the little things such as this that can save you. I appreciate it. Thanks.
What an amazing and impressive nature along the away. Be safe and Thank you for the wonderful road trip.
Thanks, I am glad you enjoyed the video.
The dog must watch Maritimer channel, and want to go with ya,lol another great video.
lol, no kidding. Thanks for wathcing.
Great videos and rides.
Found your channel this week as I was laid up recovering from surgery. Probably watched most of your videos 2-3 times!!
I remember seeing your red truck around town here. Heck, I'm practically a neighbor of yours.
I know where a lot of the places you been are, but I never rode them on my ATV. You sure have inspired me to do so.
Keep it up, and hope to meet you soon.
Hey there! I am hoping your recovery is going well man. I am sure you probably have seen my truck some where. I've ran into a few people who have stopped because they recognized my truck.
There are a lot of good rides to take around the state. I hope to get out there and explore some new areas. I hope we meet someday while exploring and I encourage you to get out there and ride. Thanks for watching buddy,
I'm drinking Santa Fe Brewing Happy Campers right now!! Awesome trip..thanks for sharing
Also anyone having open fires right now needs to be educated..
It's so dry right now that one ember could burn thousands of acres here.. Thanks again for sharing 👍
That is a good beer man. I told the guy something about it and he ignored me. I even heard his kids saying there is signs posted to not have a fire. People seriously need to be educated, you are right about that. I hope we get some rain soon. It hasn’t been this dry for a few years now. Take care and I appreciate you watching buddy.
I have camped at that very spot your on here many times. Way cool Brother. thanks
The camp spot was a beautiful spot to camp at. The view and the San Antonio River below is breath taking. I would love to hit this road again and get of to another road on the back end of the preserve for a sweet view of the Caldera. I'll make that happen in the future. Thanks again for watching buddy.
Great way to see the countryside mate , cool share 👍👍
Thanks for watching my friend.
Great video Reuben 👍
Thats a bummer you had people camping in on you
Awesome drone footage once again 👏
Man it was a bummer. I appreciate you watching. Take care buddy! Stay safe.
Nice video. Jealous of your forest roads out there. We don’t have anything like that here in Ohio.
I have heard from many people saying where they live they don't have forest roads where they live. It makes me feel more fortunate because I often wonder what other places look like. Thanks for watching!
Great video Ruben. I wish it would have worked out differently for you, I know how much you were looking forward to it. However, I’m proud of you for making the best choice and keeping yourself safe. It’s unfortunate that some people just don’t abide by the restrictions the Forrest Service sets out to keep us and the dry Forrest safe. In the short time you were out there though, you captured beautiful scenery both on the ATV and in the sky. 😘
It just means I will have to plan another trip lol. I was so looking forward to having a different trip, but it was good to get out none the less. It is unfortunate that people ruin it for others. They belong on a planet to themselves lol. Lets see how long it last lol. Thanks for your support!
Respect from morocco , good job.
Thanks for watching.
Nice !
great video keep up the good work !
Thanks! I am glad you enjoyed the video.
Yes you did find a nice spot just needed a little patience’s
Your right about that. My camp spot was awesome and the view was super sweet.
Right on dude been camping in jemez for over 25 yrs
I love the Jemez. It’s a great place to ride and camp in
Great content keep it up
Hey man! I appreciate you watching buddy. Have a great weekend.
Bro maybe put water in the pot first then set it on the fire might be easier lol like ur videos bud 👍
That is exactly what I do on cold nights when the weather dips well below freezing. I appreciate you sharing that is what you do also man. Thanks for watching!
Wish we had places like this in Indiana
If you are in the west one day and happen to be in New Mexico there is a drive that takes you near this area I am at. It's called the Jemez Mountain Trail and it takes you through the volcano crater where a huge Elk population lives. Thanks for watching.
Hi Ruben. I love this video! In fact I really like all of the ones I have watched so far. Your vids really make me want to go riding down there in New Mexico and Arizona. I especially like how friendly and positive you are. Do you really have to worry about all your stuff back at your truck when you’re out riding and camping? That kinda stinks man, bummer. Also love those drone shots buddy! Thank you so much from Minnesota.
To be honest with you I have not know anyone to have their vehicle harassed while parking it in the outdoors. I think it is more my own paranoia because last year I had a vehicle stolen from my home.
I am glad you enjoyed the video. I appreciate you following along and leaving me comments. Now that the desert is warming up I am heading into the mountains of New Mexico. I am always an optimistic person and look for the greater of everything I find myself in. On this trip I didn't expect to have such close neighbors, but we all worked it out. I am glad you enjoyed the drone shots. The location I took the drone footage from was at the north end of the Valle Caldera Preserve. I hope you can make it down to New Mexico. We would love to have you visit. Arizona is a beautiful state also.
Thanks again and stay healthy and safe, take care.
Awesome country
Thanks for watching.
Whoa, for a trip that didn't work out as expected, you had a awesome time, views, wildlife sightings, some drone action. 😃 Way to go 👊🏻
It was a good trip. I think the biggest set back was everyone was on the same forest road and it became to crowded for my liking. I was looking for more of a quite trip to hit a good reset button of peace and quite. But I should have expected this on 1 of 3 roads opened in the area. This area is a great place to see big game animals. Thanks for watching buddy!
Stay healthy and safe.
Wow!
Thanks for watching and stopping by.
I'm telling you brother, I bet those cold ones were great, I would've been enjoying them while looking at some of those views my man. Some beautiful views and driving that ATV around looked like a good time!
Them cold ones and that view was sweet man! I couldn't get over that view down below and across the way. I am hoping to get a pack on and into the mountains backpacking soon. But the quad scene is fun also lol. Take care buddy!
Looks like a great time out in nature, good to see it!
It was an awesome time. Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching.
Beautiful area, thanks for the look.
Thanks for watching.
I think they felt safe being close to other people out there. We have here an unwritten rule, that if you see other people when you are really far out then you doesn't camp close by.
That view you got there, that is really amazing. I could stayed there for many days. Is that a dangerous snake you saw on trail?
I think that is probably what it was they felt safer being closer to someone or maybe they wanted to share the awesome view from the cliff. I think that is a good unwritten rule to have.
The snake I saw on the ground is actually non poisonous snake known as the bull snake. They hunt mice and other small rodents.
Nice Video Man!!!
Thanks for the visit.
I take someone that stays at my truck when I go out. Even when I go camp up the road away from my truck. Can't trust some people these days. I drive a 2020 750 brute force. I love to go ride new trails. Nice videos
It’s unfortunate that we have to even worry about a vehicle being vandalized or stolen in the outdoors. But it happens.
How is the Brute Force? It looks like a nice ATV. I love to ride in new places and explore new trails and roads. It’s so much fun.
Thanks for watching.
The brute force is very fun and it is a beast when nature calls. Lots of torque this type of bike. I ride in la junta canyon going to Taos Nm. Tres Ritos Nm
I own a ranch in Watrous Nm
That is awesome. I bet that is a fun quad to ride trails with. That is sweet. Sounds like you are going to have fun up in Taos Nm.
I just got back from la junta I will be posting a new video very soon. The brute did very well out there. Watch my video soon. Just need to put it together. Lol
Thank you Ruben, good drone work. The follow me feature worked great next to the pond. It looked like the drone almost hit the tree branch. Does it have obstacle avoidance?
Hey there! On this particular drone which is the DJI Spark, the obstacle avoidance doesn't work well, despite it having it. I have crashed this drone several times, thankfully the durability on the drone is awesome because it still works like a champ. In my more recent videos I am now using the DJI Mavic Air 2 which has great obstacle avoidance response. I hope you have a great day and weekend! Thanks for checking it out.
A polars has a full skid plate look into one
I will definitely look into one. Nothing more upsetting than ripping up your bottom. Thanks for the heads up. My Polaris has one on it, you’re right about that👍.
Sorry it didn't goes as plan. Hopefully there won't be a repeat. There a long weekend here in Canada and yes same going on here too.
With a lot of things being closed off it pushes people to what is open and it becomes very crowded. I had a great time regardless. Thanks for watching.
The mountain we can see from Albuquerque in the North side is Redondo peak, correct? The one you were showing and intended to hike was Chicoma which is another mountain, yes?
That is correct, the mountain you see from Albuquerque is Redondo peak. Chicoma is on the other side and more visible from Los Alamos and Espanola. I will have to go back to hike Chicoma later this year. Thanks for watching.
Awesome vid. Too bad you had to put up with the idiots that disobey fire restrictions. Hope they don't burn the forest up. Congrats on the new Quad.
I will never understand people who disobey easy rules to not have a fire under fire restrictions. I hope they don't either. So many awesome places go up in flames due to the irresponsible. Man I am loving the new quad. One of many ATV camping trips to come.
Thanks for watching and take care, stay healthy.
Looks fun
I have found that if your able to get farther off the dirt roads, Atv trails are better for find lonesome camping spots. Slow down and let that dog chase you for a couple miles, a coyote will than you. Camping this year seems to be crazy amount of people out there. Might need to be a Monday-Friday year, stay away from the weekends. 570 seems to be plenty for me also, different brand though.
It was a lot of fun! You are absolutely right about being more isolated the farther back you go. Lol, that is right! A coyote would have come in and fixed that problem real quick. The 570 is plenty power to take you through some ground. I am going to plan another trip to redeem myself on getting father into the forest. I happened to be on the busiest forest road of them all and people were everywhere. Dirt bikes, side by sides, quads, and any offroad vehicle you can think of was trail riding. I just kept the traffic out of my frames, I was hoping to share more of a nature feel than a gold rush feel lol.
Thanks for watching.
Enjoyed the video. Kudos to you for bringing a stove. I'm assuming a lot more people are trying to get out while the COVID 19 restrictions are in place.
There was a lot of people out over the weekend not that restrictions are softening. I didn't have a bad experience, it just wasn't my preference. I respect the outdoors and would hope more people would also.
Thanks for watching and I am glad you enjoyed.
WEIRD THAT THEY CAMP NEXT TO YA IN THE WILDERNESS AREAS..
I have no idea why they would come right next to my camp spot and set up when there is a whole wilderness area. I'll never understand some people. Thanks for watching.
Nice 👌👌
Thanks for watching.
@@ManzanoManATVAdventures stay connected
Awesome drone footage. We’re just like to say I follow your channel religiously and plenty other ATV channels you do a great job love your narration and overall presentation. I am curious to know, though not knowing much about photography or videography. How do you do these photos that shows you driving towards the camera but no one around or when you’re driving away from your campsite , how you do this stuff any information would be great to know just curious know how you accomplish all this. Keep up the good work thank you Thomas from Michigan. Ps have you ever heard of the channel my life reward it’s a gentleman it does this kind of stuff in Michigan where I live. Check it out if you get a minute.
Hey there ! Thanks for watching my videos and commenting. I appreciate the feedback as well. I have my camera set up for drive by scenes and try to find shots that look good for viewers. If I am not using my camera I use my drone for tracking me drive and for other shots as well. I hope this helps buddy.
I will have to check out My Life Reward. Thanks for sharing his channel. Thanks for watching and take care man.
@@ManzanoManATVAdventures what kind of drone do you fly? I have a Mavic two pro
@@ManzanoManATVAdventures so when you use your camera, I’m assuming it’s on a tripod and you have a Bluetooth shutter button or how do you do the camera part I get the drone part any help would be appreciated. Thank you for your help and kindness. Have a great day Thomas.
So how do you take tripod shots with your camera? Bluetooth shutter button and by the way, what drone do you fly?
How far back did you go on the road? I went pretty far back on it a couple of months ago, but turned around because it was getting way too bumpy. I did see the valley that you were speaking of. I would like to explore the lower area.
About a year ago I actually went back up there and made it through. The large rocks makes it a challenge to navigate but it is manageable. I had actually filmed that trip and when I went to produce it, something happened to my footage and I lost it all. But if you keep going, it does get better in about a mile or two.
I want to get into the lower area myself. I plan on getting up there again in the fall to try and see some fall color. Thanks for watching man.
@@ManzanoManATVAdventures Nice. I should be heading out in a couple of weeks. Not sure where I am going though.
Can you still ride up there
Yes you can still ride up there. All forest roads have been opened from what I have read. So you will have plenty of riding choices.
Even with the fire restrictions some people told us no what hwy or roads did u take? Info please
