OOPS! Dispersed camping and mistakes! 

Nice tip. It was fun the last day wiggling out.

True I agree 💯

Thanks for watching!

Thanks! I am itching to get back out. Might try to winter camp. I don't exactly have the right gear for winter. But what the heck.

He learned a lesson early! Good time with the boys! Even dad's make mistakes!

I had a french press. A drip is much easier to clean.

@@diann546 Cleaning is the worst part about them, but they sure do make a great cup of coffee.

Going to be quite a change in temperature for you :) Have fun!!

Thanks for doing your part!

Great tip!

Thanks! Lacking on new videos but we hope to get some out soon.

Adding that this spring! Especially because a lot of times I won't be with anyone else. Need all the tools to help me out.

We always do and try to pick up the items other campers left behind.

I like to learn lessons the hard way. :)

They never let me live it down :) anytime we go out now... They remind me what not to do :)

I wasn't sure because of a few reasons. 1. the "Marked" road on the motor vehicle use map didn't actually follow that road down the hill. So technically was it a "Road" and the state rule says you can't travel more that 20' or 50 ' (forget as one is state one is national) from the "Traveled Road". Well, it isn't a "Marked road"... but it was a "Traveled Road". Either way, I wasn't blazing my own trail so I felt fine. 2. There are set backs for certain water areas to camp at. After looking more into the laws, I think I was safe. The state rules don't say anything about the set back. And only certain areas like long larger rivers are marked for set back or marked no camping.

Thanks for the response. I was pretty sure that's what you were talking about. Just thought I'd ask. I think is 50' on state land.

Watch my video "Finding Camp in Michigan" I list a lot of the resources I use in that videos description, including the Forest road maps.

C&J Outdoor Adventures awesome thank you

Roscommon area along the Muskegon river.

Cool, thats kinda what i was thinking. Ive spent time outside of Harrison on tge Muskegon river. Thanks for the response

I felt like such a dummy!

My battery setup is nice and compact. Never really out more days than my battery can last. I can get easy 3 nights possibly 4 nights of my current set up with no additional power input.

Jealous :)

I too, own an acre in the UP. I love it up there, but sadly, was born a troll. I try to get there as often as I can. Was waiting for you to mention what river you were on. There are endless beautiful places in the UP. I’m guessing your worry about your spot there becoming overrun was unnecessary. Thank you so much for picking up the piggy’s trash; I do the same.

Roscommon state forest area.

Thanks bud.

This was in the Roscommon State Forest Area along the Muskegon river

The Muskegon River is beautiful. Check out Baxter Bridge SFC next time and kayak downriver

@@pete8018 planning a kayak trip or two this year. Hope to disperse camp out of kayak/canoe

Funny...I was just eyeballing that area last night for camping.

@@cjoutdooradventures4896 I didn't know dispersed camping was allowed next to lakes and rivers in Michigan.

Nope. Home base is in West Michigan near GR

We were just up in the Mio area and camped along the AuSable river two week ago! Great area. Looking to get back this fall for a canoe trip.

@@cjoutdooradventures4896 Good stuff! I found it today and its a nice spot where you walk maybe 5 minutes through vegetation (thats beat down) to river. I think you and your boy would like it. You gotta post more videos, your content you have done, is pretty darn good! Happy and safe trails!

@@2873lonewolf Thanks lonewolf. I always go out with the intent of recording. Then I get lost in the adventure and struggle to remember to set up the camera.

@@cjoutdooradventures4896 I hear you, the dad life is real. I subscribed and look forward to your content, when you can find the time...lol I'll be at that location Oct 1st for sure. If you are around the area, swing by for some coffee. Can't miss me, I'll be the only one with a hairless cat with me...lol

I got it now!! :) Thanks for watching

We were not in a designated natural or scenic river corridor.

Yeah I know, was just trying something new. The percolator we have works, just gotta try new things sometimes... and fail while doing it :) Thanks for watching!

It was the Roscommon state forest area.

C&J Outdoor Adventures thank you! I know you didn’t want to give that spot up, but probably won’t find it. Lol. I’m new to this whole thing. Finally going to start it this year. I can’t wait.

@@mikefesta8349 not really an issue sharing... But venturing out and finding places is all part of the fun. :) Good luck. Hope to share a lot more this summer.

Yeah. I wussing out on the amount.

Yup. Just a basic carbon steel one. I think I paid like $50 bucks or so.

🤣 I see a company is now making a "coffee-flavored creamer". Maybe I should just get that.

We all have our moments :)

@@cjoutdooradventures4896 indeed

If it’s state land you can

Middle of Michigan's lower peninsula

@@cjoutdooradventures4896 got it 👍
