A massive wind storm during Labor Day of 2020 in the Wind River Range cause unbelievable damage to the mountain that will be seen for years to come. The trail system was clogged with down trees and piled high as much as 15 to 20 feet. I spent a week with the back County Horsemen checking trails and removing down timber. Trails we checked on horse back were Scab creek trail, Elk Heart Trail and Burnt lake Trail

Thanks to volunteers like you, BCHO (&USFS) keeping the trails clear for all to enjoy. Hats off to you boys! That would have been truly a nightmare to be there during that windstorm!

@montanamornings8526 Год назад

Thanks Back Country Horseman everywhere! Y’all do a great job.

@cowdogflicks Год назад

I just love watching these videos!!! I always get to see such great scenery and always feel so much more calm, after watching them. The best content on RU-vid for sure!!!! Thanks, for taking us along on your trail rides.

thanks for your comment

Is really sad to see so much down timber, looks like a horrible future forest fire. I would guess that most of the timber is never going to be up for salvage. Thanks for a great video!

Thanks

Know that country well. Been a few years since I’ve been there so great to see the videos. Will be really devastating when a fire gets going in all that downfall/blowdown.

@garygetty1238 Год назад

That's what the USFS WANTS....Forest Fire is a money maker for em.Been dealing with them for years

@loneranger4113 Год назад

Thank you very much for sharing this. Takes me back to my childhood. Would love to join you on one of these outings lol. Again thank you for the video.

Another great video. I'm sure it's not the easiest thing to video while riding. I don't even do it much while hiking because it's such a pain. If I had one request in regards to your videos....it would be that you make more of them. They are a joy to watch! Thanks for sharin!

Nice to see some of those places. Worked for Forest Service in summers above Boulder, Fremont and Upper Green River Lakes. Backpacked, photographed and did graduate research on 8 lakes above !0k FASL. Bridger is still Heaven.

@JeanettsFarm Год назад

Well, I certainly enjoy seeing the wilderness and watch you picking your way throw the trails. I know I will never go there but I love to watch them.

@cowdogflicks Год назад

Right on! Glad you enjoyed it

@reggiebald2830 Год назад

Thank you! Never imagined a blow down like that in the backcountry! Glad not to have been there~

@cowdogflicks Год назад

Me neither The rocky Mountains are full of blow downs

@sylviacraig4593 Год назад

Your videos are wonderful, so relaxing and informative! You fellows know your history of the mountain areas and are a pleasure to watch on your trails! Thankyou.

Our pleasure!

I was talking with another light plane pilot like myself the other day about the Wind River Range, and how it's always a bit spooky to fly around!

@cowdogflicks 18 дней назад

i agree to that glad you enjoyed them more to come

@jackmorganfiftyfive 5 месяцев назад

Love to watch this. This must be really tough going when it comes to the hooves of the horses, you've probably have a medical kit for that with you. And I wonder if you're armed to deal with mountain lion- and bear attacks...

I am glad you enjoyed it we do carry a rife sometimes

It's not a disaster, it's nature. First time I've ever heard the "Forest Circus" get complimented by locals. ☺

@Gemma-lg7lf Год назад

Your videos are amazing, love the trails you ride and getting to follow along on your adventures. However, if possible, please edit your sound to even out in volume better. Your voice is soft I have to turn the volume on boost but the next second you have a bird screeching and it's deafening. Your camera angles are perfect, very very nice. Love what you and your friends do. Thank you.

@cowdogflicks Год назад

Noted! i have worked on that problem watch the latest video and let me know if i have improved

@cherylbiehn6592 Год назад

Loving your videos. Can almost smell the trees The Yellowstone fires were in 1988 fyi. You say 1986.

@cowdogflicks Год назад

Yes you are right 1988 thanks for watching

It's interesting that the Lowline Trail on the southern boundary of the Bridger Wilderness west and east of Poston Lake has not been cleared yet after that wind storm. It's impassible. We thought it was maybe to keep the cows to the west.

@cowdogflicks Год назад

yes most of the lowline trail in the wind rivers are impassible Back country horsemen have been trying to clear let me know if you want to help

@IshawooaPass Год назад

@@cowdogflicks Oh I thought the USFS took care of some of them.

At 3:55 what saddle rig is that. I've experimented w/ lots of bareback rigs and would like the lowdown on that please. On closer inspection I see it's a saddle. Great Vid!

@richbrindley8944 Год назад

Watching the World News the other night, they said "200 million tree's have been lost in Northern CA. That seemed high to me but after seeing your video it might be correct. Extremely sad but mother nature can be brutal.

@cowdogflicks Год назад

Yes she can thanks for watching

@frankscherping Год назад

I am just wondering if the forest service has any plans to remove all of the blow down to prevent it from becoming fuel for forest fires???....

@cowdogflicks Год назад

They try where they can thats why groups like the Back Country Horsemen help
