Saturday Bob is semi-retired it seems, rarely see him anymore. I know a Disney Dave, and a Snake boots Dave who works on Disney lighting, Kevin bought a cabin in Big ass Bear a few years back and rarely if ever steps foot in the canyon. Backpacker Dave left shop, burned all the stuff he used back there and sold his nugget with a chain he had made from smaller nuggets and flakes he found over the years. The nugget was shaped like an egg and has a piece of quarts sticking out of it, so they said it would never be melted. Worth more in the natural form. He had the nugget hanging from the chain and word on the trail is he got $97,000 plus. He was seen pan handling Venice beach a couple years later. No news since. Burnie, the mayor of nugget alley used to buy the guys gold and turn around and sell it for a bit more to someone in the city. He got caught growing at his house before it was legal and selling mass quantity. the old hoosegow for him. I made it to the Dollar with Eric, before he died. He had problems swallowing on that trip and it got worse the next day. The day we came out he went to the e.r. and they told him it was stage 3 cancer, throat stomach and intestine. He went fast, R.I.P. brother! I have the head of the sheep from the annex in my dad's garage. I found it, or another, a few hundred feet above the mine on an old trail that once led to the canyon between iron and rattle snake. It was the ONLY way into it and its long gone. I have tried from all directions to get into it, you see, I have figured out the Sedley peck clues and not too far from there, believe I have located the mine he speaks of that the Tongva waved him away from. If it holds the gold, he said it did, it might be my greatest find of my life! If so, I may have to ask ol slim for some help hauling out the goods! I have met thousands of people over the last 42 plus years in the range and have seen and done things few will believe but there has almost always been someone with me to see it happen. One day, you and I will walk together. cheers my friend
PHARRAOH - ''Camps in bear infested woods. During a hurricane. With only the stuff in his pocket. For a month ''! I admire him even if he isn't a wolf. Thanks for your amazing video's..
Great poncho action. Awesome view, Crystal Lake is looking nice. I was out next to Hemet Lake this weekend expecting much more rain as well... weak ass Hillary. Thank you for sharing. Take care Alan. 🇺🇲
I was hearing bugs bunny in my head, batten down the hatches, Then the little kangaroos, I did batten them down, then bugs again, Well, batten them down again, we'll teach them hatches!
after so many years, it gets to be routine and almost all fear is gone. Thats when people make that one mistake and it's over. But it was fun right up to the end, right?
That was a really cool video. Definitely showcased a prime example of proper use of gear to whether the storm. Awesome stove set up also. Nice solo adventure to feed the soul. You know that range, but that range knows you .
I dont care for them WIDE pots, give me a 1980's Sherell Tiggs or Sherrel, lads size pot any day. Just saying and with a tint of brass for good measure
Now that was awesome Alan! Can count on you to head out for an overnighter during a hurricane with only minimal gear, haha. Good stuff man! 👍 Oh... the name of the channel that did stove tests back in the day was Hiram Cook. Good guy... too bad that he doesn't do vids anymore though.
My twin and i were in our tents, hunting piute mnt area, shitlary dropped 24hrs heavy rain and 24hrs of regular rain. Brothers tent failed in 24hrs of heavy rain. We love tents in storms! Cheers!
@@PHARRAOH I'll bet that was the storm that closed the 58 a few yrs back. My bro n I were is the same area as before, just marveling at the tremendous thunder, lightning, and rain. Seemed like the lightning was below us in Erskin cyn. WOW, what a storm.
We use to get rains that lasted 4 or 5 days when I was young. We got 6 inches at Monte Cristo. No damage to speak of. It’s the 2+ inches an hour that will get you.
I remember back in 7rth grade, 1978, it rained for 2 weeks straight, that year boogie boards hit the market and a kid named dan Patterson had one, he got in a storm drain and was hauling ass town the cement v pattern wash. A drafting teacher named sellway, ran ahead of him and hoped the fence and grabbed his ass, right before he would have shot down a tunnel, That went under the street. He saved that kids life! But the rin on the city street was over flowing the curbs in some place. We kids stood along side the road waving on coming trucks to hit the puddle and send a tiddle wave over us. So much fun!
We didn't get alot of lightning and wind here in pinon hills but we had a river running down the dirt road out front . It's nice to not fear nature obviously if something bad would have occurred you would have at least gone out doing what you like most.
Good video Alan. Nice camp spot. I reckon the SMD Gatewood cape would have been a good choice. I use a similar stove (a "Stormin' Norman" 2 piece cone, with a 400ml mug) - they are efficient. I use it with either a small alcohol burner or solid fuel tablets. ATB
Very nice, Alan! I bicycle / hammock camped at Glenn Campground Sat nite. Disappointed, the rain didn’t begin til like 4am… was hoping for a stormy evening lol 😅
or keep it behind our dams, why let it all run to sea? to wash out the homeless is my guess. and to have something to try to worry the brainwashed with, to allow mass quantities of cash to flow into the pockets of the many, thieving, murdering, lying ass scum that run the show
Don't cha just luv that hype? I live 4 1/2 hrs north from the Gulf of Mexico, and it's the same thing here. I've been in several hurricanes, but not on the coast when they made landfall, so muchly reduced windage. Nevertheless, sometimes we get a good blow. Anyway, one week out from a landfall, and all the toilet paper and milk is wiped out from the stores, lol.
He vanished completely without a trace? I know/knew, another that went that route, learned he was shot in a convenient store hold up. Just went for a few items and caught a stray bullet. One never knows!
