We do have fun, there's no doubt about that, but should you also venture out into remote areas? In this video we leave our campsite in the Mount Grafton Wilderness area in Nevada and search out other possible boondocking locations. Featuring the Ward Mountain Charcoal Ovens.

Great advice. I thought about this before when i start camping. An offroad bike would be my nice add on too. A pew pew is a must as well too.

@Go4Corvette 2 месяца назад

So nice to see those ovens are still okay and no one has messed with them. I remember these from when I was a kid and my Dad took me to see them. If your alternator fails use your power banks, you can wire in the 12V power to your battery and this will get you down the road many more miles. Don't forget that roll of duck tape for fixing hoses or even make a drive belt out of it. If a non-A/C belt is available for your model engine get one, if the A/C compressor bearing locks up you can just switch to the shorter belt. Seen this many times in the shop. Bailing wire, keep a small roll good for repairing many things. One time my Dad had a U-Joint go bad and he wired the drive shaft back up and it got us home. Also good for repairing broken exhaust hangers. Thanks for the tour.

You've mentioned about boondock camping before, but your the only one I've ever heard speak about the "rules" of camping. I'm 53 now, but when I was a kid with my parents we went around the State of Wa. all the time hunting fishing and camping everyone camped like people call boondocking now. People are different now they don't understand the "Western" lifestyle and how people are, or were, there are so many transplants from elsewhere that they don't quite understand the separatist ways. I will say that if someone knew people were nearby camping and an emergency happened or somebody broke down nobody was ashamed to ask for help when your out in the wilderness you would help each other in that regard.

Thank you for your videos, I haven’t seen the charcoal ovens in person since 1952 they look pretty much the way I remember them! I’m surprised that they haven’t been tagged in some fashion, also imagine going out South of Ely in a 1947 Studibaker without 4 wheel drive no satellite communicator just a bag of sandwiches and a picnic basket and a 1 gallon thermos with lemonade I believe we had and going and driving those back roads and that is what we did just about every Sunday afternoon we go exploring we lived in Ely for one year until dad got mountain sickness and we transferred to Chicago

A friend of mine Brian (The adventure van man) Gave me a great suggestion for dispersed camping. Have a long magnet on a rope and drag it around your campsite before you park to pick up any hidden nails. A lot of people burn old pallets that are loaded with nails save yourself from getting a flat tire.

@gonagain 2 месяца назад

That's a great idea!

Hi Folks , longtime subscriber here 😊. Yes you mentioned a lot of absolute necessities, you mentioned common sense . It's an Oxymoron because it's something a lot of people lack 😂. Old Boy Scout motto is Be Prepared. Enjoyed your video and keep em coming . I too am an older full-time nomad off-grid guy. ( 61 ) . I much prefer dispersed camping to being cramped in a space next to people. The whole idea of this lifestyle is peace and serenity & communing with nature . Be safe out there .

@shirleyhall1924 2 месяца назад

We recently finished our "out west" tour which lasted 6 weeks. Common sense is definitely our greatest asset. We also had a garmin communicator for emergencies because 85 percent of the time, we had no cell service, which was fine. Extra gas, water, food, meds, insured our safety. Alertness and intuition also helps, but that goes along with common sense. We had a blast but it wasnt our first time out. We learn something new every time. I appreciate your videos. My hubs and i enjoy them very much.

Hey Gonagain! I live in CT. New Hampshire used to allow roadside camping in the upper section years ago. My son and his wife used to set up a tent. Now you can't anymore. Roads are all posted. Campgrounds abound. Nice to get a video. Today didn't start so well so you made my day. That plant with the pretty white flower may have been Jimson Weed. It can grow just about anywhere. Very undesirable though. Did it have a nice scent?

Thank you for asking about Linda's ankle. She's mostly ok, but her ankle gets sore after too long a hike on uneven terrain. She is one of those people who just can't ride a bike because of an equilibrium problem. Along those lines, we bought a new piece of equipment that we'll be featuring soon. I'm pretty sure the cabin was built before the ovens, judging by the availability of the trees.

Are those kilns made of hewed rocks or adobe? Loved the dugout. A friend of mine grew up in one of those, sorta. They called it the cellar hole. Cement basement with beams and flooring boards covered in half lap. The rest of the house was built about twenty years later after the CT legislature outlawed it. Otherwise probably would still be a cellarhole.😂

Have you ever thought about putting jacks at the rear corners of your trailer to level it? I have a camping trailer that I did that to and with them and the same type on the tongue I can jack the whole trailer off the ground. It sure makes it easy to level the trailer. The jacks are removable for travel. I got them at harbor freight and I think they are 1500 lb jacks.

I've thought about the ones that are instantly removeable so that they don't get damaged when going over harsh terrain. It's not a bad idea.

I was under the impression; that when it is posted as Wilderness Area; you weren't supposed to have internal combustion engines and the only means of travel was a single horse or a horse and wagon. It's best to get in touch with the Forest Service or the local BLM office to find out what the rules are for traveling in a Wilderness Area.

@lkiraly58 2 месяца назад

I am no expert for sure, but I did find this regarding Wilderness designated areas: : Is motorized transportation (cars, bikes) totally prohibited in wilderness areas? A: No. But the Wilderness Act allows the use of vehicles where necessary to ensure the health and safety of people.

@gonagain 2 месяца назад

Each area is different, but generally speaking you are allowed on roads and can camp within 50 feet of the road. Be sure not to confuse a Wilderness Area with a Wildlife Refuge, which is totally different.

The advice regarding preparedness gives me the idea to not go out and explore. I can't afford a Garmin in a range, I can't change a serpentine belt, fuel filter or alternator. Even if I did have all the parts I don't have the skill level to work on a car engine. So where does that leave me now?

@gonagain 2 месяца назад

That's where the common sense part comes in. Make sure your car is in top condition before you venture out to begin with and, as I said in the video, know when to turn around, not letting yourself get into dire situations in the first place. Bring plenty of food and water. Changing a serpentine belt is easy, learn how. A satellite communicator can be purchased for under $200, the cost of two tanks of gas. That's cheap insurance and if you get stuck you'll wish you had that.
