Here's a little treasure for you...Buy a pair of Hi-top Lace-up Tennis Shoes. Buy a small jar of Rubber Contact Cement. (Has a dauber in the cap). Find some long shag carpet. There's still folks taking it out of their houses. Turn the carpet up-side-down and lay your soles of your tennis shoes on there and trace around the outboard of the sole onto the underside of the carpet. Cut that out with a box cutter. Match Shoe to rug piece. Seperate them so there isnt a way to get them mixed up. Apply plenty of glue to the underside of the carpet and to the soles of your tennis shoes and let them get almost dry and line them up good before you stick them...There ain't a chance in heck of repositioning them if wrong. Put the carpet side as your new sole. The shag carpet will hold onto slick river rocks and keep you from busting your a**. TAPE (electrical tape) your long pants cuff to your long socks. This keeps any leaches or varmits from going up your britches legs as you wade fish. My Dad was a professional Angler with a TV and Radio show on Fishing & Hunting, and learned many such tricks from others in the Press circles. The only care these fishing shoes need, are to wash the green goo off them with the hose when you get home. THANKS A WHOLE BUNCH for an excellent video! (if you want a simple recipe that represents the "wild" taste...cover your crawdaddies with water. bring to a rolling boil for a couple of minutes and let cool some while you melt Land-O-Lakes Butter with Caola oil. Bust the shells off and dip in the butter. There's already salt in the butter. THANKS AGAIN.
@@general5104 Nice! Thank you sir, I have heard of versions of the carpet trick, but not that one. In the future we will probably pull an overnight at this location with shelter build and some more crawfish. D
If your looking for ideas, Lonewolf902, and fire kitchen, have good cinematography but honestly I like what you got going on so far. Remeber it's just your friends on the other side of the camera so have fun!😉
If you choose to check out Manchester State Park, I'd love to join you on this venture! The best part of this Park is the Passage where the WS Ferry goes through from Bremerton to Seattle. Practically an arms reach away!
Great recommendation, Corporal! Dustin's channel really adds value to life just like your channel does. We have to recognize and appreciate these gems, because they are rare AF!
It’s great to see a different type of video that’s actually beneficial to life and that our kids can see that there’s more to life than electronics or hiding inside
Agreed Simon, meeting them where they are can help bridge the gap. If you are starting later with your kids a great opening is campgrounds with wifi and cell service so they can get outdoors and still get a dose of tik tok vids. From there you can ease into more remote locations.
TH-camr's forget how many of us will never see something like that lake or experience fishing due to one circumstance or another...so we live vicariously through you! Thank you for the video and adventure.
Thank you Brian, that was not something I thought about until the last video and the comments. Will always keep that in mind from now on. Gives new meaning to the mission. Dustin
Again, the views are stunning. I can easily see how steep a drop it was on your walk, reminds me why in the girl scouts we always used the buddy system. I recall a motorcycle venture I took alone, sans maps (pre-gps era) and ended up on a fire road. O.o I am amazed that old car made it as far as it did! I turned around even though I was sure it was a short cut but it's never short when you get stuck or lay your bike down in a ditch. I didn't fish often from shore or a dock, almost always went out in a boat. I tried to become 'old salt savy' and learn the best spots and times but catching fish was secondary on warm summer days ... is this lake one boats can go out on? The laws have changed so much I'm not sure if some places restrict boats or if the shear inaccessible approach for anything but foot traffic, like in this video, is why boats aren't in sight.
Hi Suzi, maps are key. GPS can give folks a false sense of security and you are right. What seems like a shortcut on a fire road almost never turns out to be. That lake can have kayaks or float tubes. Not sure anyone could close with a boat bigger than that.
I think, by what he said on his video, the lake is up in the clouds with a sheer bluff to it and could only be reached by trail. Unless you Back-packed a blow-up boat in there, fishing from the bank or Red-Eye/Trout wade-fishing is all ya got.
We had a ‘99 Camry that we took into some places we weren’t sure we’d get out of. 😄 Just go super slow and aim your tires for the high spots in the road. Avoid soft ground and fine sand, and you might be good. But then we’d been off-roading for a long time and know how to read these roads. Not sure what forest roads would be like; it’s always better to have four wheel drive and high clearance! And never go alone!
Agree completely on the driving strategy. I learned a lot driving HMMWV's in the Marine Corps. If you know what you are doing you can pull off quite a bit in a regular car. The older version of me likes to avoid the risk. D
@@attentiondeficitoutdoors9134 I understand that you are going to training With the corporal Kelly pathfinder group Please let us know how it was . At 70 for me that ship has sailed
*WOW ! Fantastic footages and nice driving through forests..beautiful lake and love these outdoor adventures so addictable !* Greetings from Sri Lanka |🇱🇰 💐🔥🤠👌
Thank you Mike, will be training with Shawn in October and getting some additional guidance on content as well. I will keep bringing you the best I can. Dustin
@@attentiondeficitoutdoors9134 Shawn is awesome.. I could watch him 24 hours a day. I love your attitude as well. Your personality comes across very well. be safe!
Corporal Sean said to stop by, so I did and I like it. I like your message and the things that you are doing. Keep plugging away, you're doing great. MSgt Richard F. 2/2 Ret. Semper Fi!
Thank you for stopping by, checking out the video and saying hi MSgt. I made it to Gunny but got out at about 12.5 years. Shawn and I started in 3/7 Lima Co together back in the 90's. Let me know if there is ever anything you think I can improve with the content. Dustin
Awesome looking crawfish boil. I'll have to get out there and catch a bunch of those for my own crawfish boil. Enjoyed the video, looking forward to the next adventure.
Not as many as I would like to have caught, but got some tips from others on how to obtain more next time I get out to a lake. The fall season is coming quickly. Not sure how active these higher elevation lakes will be. Thanks Dave
This was outstanding as well, it felt like we're living the adventure with you! Beautiful lake and that meal looked delicious! Maybe you could make longer videos, I could watch this forever! 😀 Great job, looking forward to your next trips!
Absolutely love you’re channel. Thank you for showing us the Pacific North West. I lived there for a few years but worked and didn’t spend much time exploring. Leavenworth, Washington I did ski and snowmobile. Absolutely glorious time at Christmas. Check it out.
Life will do that. My first couple years up here hardly checked out anything due to the daily grind. Leavenworth is a great area, especially when decorated for the holidays. Thank you for checking out the channel and commenting. Feedback is always welcome. D
Those older Toyota Corollas go anywhere you want them to. Fwd are amazing for their size. Be sure to tighten or replace the clip that comes on those traps, I've lost many due to snags and it all comes apart. I prefer to tie them up with a 2 end sling for load cuz I add weight to them
Thank you, I do believe it will happen as long as I keep up with my end of the deal by making more content that adds value. I truly appreciate the support. Thank you. Dustin
Here for Corporal Corner aswell. I dog ur channel brother. Man those some nice crawdads. Can you leave the trap over night? Cz I think you’ll have a good haul
Good idea Phillip, some locations you have to pull them. This one, you can leave it out as long as there is a marked buoy connected to the rope. When I do an overnighter I will take your advice and be sure to post a video of it.
Hi Jerry, I tested some cured shrimp and they were about useless. In the other trap I put the first brook trout I caught and the crawfish were all over it. So, next one I caught went in the other trap. Had I figured that out sooner I would have probably had double the crawfish. Lesson learned.
One of my most favorite locations, for just relaxation anytime I can get there. Did you happen to run into the Big hairy guy, with the bad odor while there? Had an experience during hunting season one time, Noone else on the ridge or at the lake, that I could tell, yet had the feeling of being watched the entire time while on the shore, and the air smelled like a city refuse facility. Still go back every chance I get. Would love to have a cabin there.

What did you use for bait in the crawfish trap? That first little fish would have made great crawfish bait! And yes they are definitely amazing!!
Hi Jerry, I tested some cured shrimp and they were about useless. In the other trap I put the first brook trout I caught and the crawfish were all over it. So, next one I caught went in the other trap. Had I figured that out sooner I would have probably had double the crawfish. Lesson learned.
@@attentiondeficitoutdoors9134 it’s always a lesson to be learned when fishing for anything! Lol glad you had fun!
One of my most favorite locations, for just relaxation anytime I can get there. Did you happen to run into the Big hairy guy, with the bad odor while there? Had an experience during hunting season one time, Noone else on the ridge or at the lake, that I could tell, yet had the feeling of being watched the entire time while on the shore, and the air smelled like a city refuse facility. Still go back every chance I get. Would love to have a cabin there.
Did not run into him, however, on the road approach there was a clear camping area of folks staying off the grid.
What month would you recommend to head up there? Fly fishing seems like it would do real well!
