You create beautiful videos man. I gotta say, these views and all, scenery, just everything seems so good for the soul. But i got a question, dont you get afraid knowing there could be dangerous predators lurking about?
I do a bit, I usually carry a spotlight for that but I’ve quit carrying it on these last two trips. Also my dogs are good at keeping them away but this last time my dog was ignoring everything. I was up a couple times in the night because the horses sounded an alarm. Mostly though, predators prefer east targets.
You always have a sucj great video's, i enjoy them alot.....by the way if you wear thin black socks with those moccasin shoes (slippers) like they did back in the day, everything else fits well...keep rocking man, your video's are cool
Beautiful country! Love your Buckskin. I've always wanted one ever since watching Bonanza as a kid. You mentioned bears. Do you ever see any mountain lions up there? My hubby and son go riding up by Fort Meade, which was an old Calvary fort, and Bear Butte. Last time they went, they found an old headstone from the 1800s.
I LOVE this!! I've been backpacking and camping numerous times in various environments and have been wanting to get into this exact thing - primitive, horseback, traditional camping trips!!! I'm trying to learn horseback riding right now, any advice? Thanks again!
Cool! Glad to hear someone else is wanting to do it as well. Finding mellow horses is expensive these days but, a good horse is key. Maybe even mules, they’re excellent in the mountains.
That was just awesome Richard, I'm about to watch pt2 in a few min. Beautiful scenery...just AMAZING!!! What revolver are you carrying on your journey? BTW, that bread looked very delicious!!
@@OverOnTheWildSide that's awesome Richard! And .357 is an excellent caliber also! There's 2 versions though, .357mag and .357sig. I'm assuming yours is .357mag? The .357sig is normally the semi auto version...BOTH ARE AMAZING THOUGH!!!
@@peterott9162 yes mag. It’s a good round but now that I’m going after bear I can help but think I want a .45. I’m looking into ordering a cylinder for one of my cap and ball revolvers.
You outta carry an axe or a machete for clearing some trails, but the trees there are pretty big, one time I was heading up a mountain road and a little tree was blocking it but luckily I always got a machete in my car, what kind of bears do you got there? I only only got black bears so I don’t worry to much unless I see a cub haha then mamas around, ya I always carry a couple bandanna I don’t use them much but they have there uses especially if I forget my leather gloves and just use them for handling things around the fire, like off lord of the rings you need you’re first and second breakfast, I know trekking around makes a man hungry lol, I’ve been watching a lot of wanted dead or alive lately you’re Steve McQueen
Yeah we just have black bears so not much to worry about. I’ve been wondering what I might do about that tree, it’s so huge though I’d need quite a saw to deal with it. Bandanas are handy for sure. I like wearing them…
Looks like a great trip again, I was wondering since I’ve never been a big coffee drinker. What does the letting them sit and degas after roasting. Wishing y’all the best OVER ON THE WILD SIDE. 💪🏽🎥🐎💯👍
I’m not really sure why it helps it’s just what I’ve been told. I also don’t know if they allowed them to degas in the Old West days, I’d like to find out on that.
So I have been waiting quietly for a while. Again this maybe something by now you have addressed, as I'm not skipping ahead to see what you have learned. Also there is other things with experience will become second nature. The goal seems to be an overnight stay with success being a fish dinner before bed, or for breakfast. So trying understand the thinking I have to ask. Why are we passing miles of fishible water to get a lake? Streams and beaver ponds are far more productive. Don't get me wrong I love lake fishing, but it is completely different mind set of time and patience. Creek and beaver pond fishing is using what comes naturally. Cut a fresh sapling of local creek bed growth of 6-8' long, as straight as possible,and tying a line to the small end about a foot longer than the pole. Hooks only no weights. Flipping it up stream and let current due the work for you. I refer this as think like a fly fisherman nymphing . Same thing with beaver ponds no weigh just bait or fly flip it out on the deepest darkest water and let it do what it would naturally do. If it an angle worm it lands on the water with little disturbance. 90 percent of the time it's fish on before it hits bottom. Nymphs same thing let it do what a nymph does. If it is artificial nymph simulate the natural action. Even minnows work this way. Roll over old near rotting logs for worms. Slow water flat rocks pickup and look at the bottom for nymphs. Don't be be afraid to use crickets/ and grasshoppers. It can be true fish are smaller in the stream, but 2-3 seven inchers beats zero 14" everytime, and far more eager to take the bait as it passes by naturally. Mountain man
The lake is planted and has a lot of fat hungry trout. The creek only has small wild ones. I’ve caught one out of it and it is more fun, that’s for sure.
Stunning no other words I can think of. You make every shot look like a postcard, just beautiful.
Thank you very much
When changing clothes is the big worry life is good
Haha that’s a valid point.
Beautiful country and awesome video.
Thanks!
Great video, thanks 👍
The water is very peaceful in this video
Living the dream!

Do you have some historical evidence for those thin black socks?
@@OverOnTheWildSide just going by what my grandpa used to tell us about wearing moccasins , apparently that how what they did

My hubby and son go riding up by Fort Meade, which was an old Calvary fort, and Bear Butte. Last time they went, they found an old headstone from the 1800s.
I saw a cougar last year, it was lower and 14 miles away but same mountains.
That’s amazing! A headstone alone that no one was aware of?

@@OverOnTheWildSide that's awesome Richard! How does it shoot/handle?
It’s nice, the longer barrel makes a big difference (better) for shooting accuracy.

Great vid... have you tried to bobble the horses to keep them from wondering off too far, or is that not done anymore.
I’ve tried it before. Other people have told me they do it but when I did they took off down the road for the truck so I decided it wasn’t worthwhile.
Which part of the country is this? It looks beautiful
This is the east side of the Cascade Mountains in Washington.

Where are you located at ?
I’m in eastern Washington
Howdy!!!
