I enjoyed your adventure! I live nearby and have been hiking the Gila for 30 years. *I've learned that wearing Gortex socks with non-Goretex boots is a good way to handle the river crossings. Your feet stay dry and the water can drain out of your boots without having to stop and drain them after every crossing. Thanks.

Nice video😊

There wouldn't be any pastures if there wasn't fire the fires. The elk and dear love it.

Good stuff fellas 👍🏻 Spent many days and nights of my youth up in that country.

Mogollon = “muggy own” pronunciation wise, Leftover from the 2011 Miller Fire, probably saw Javelina

Good stuff, Ive got several videos of my hikes there!! Love that place

I met someone in the Linville Gorge who got blown off a cliff and fell something like 250 feet into the canyon. He shattered his pelvis and broke a ton of bones. He had to get airlifted out by a blackhawk helicopter because standard medical helicopters can’t withstand the updrafts from the deep canyon. Because it was the US Military that rescued him, and he is an American citizen, the helicopter ride was free! The ambulance ride from Morganton to Duke University Hospital was $1M, though.

That was a black bear print 😁

Nice video. I've hiked most of that, and more of other stuff there. It's a magical place. Quick note, since I didn't see anyone else mention it: I'm fairly certain that your drone (which provided some awesome shots of your hike) is illegal to use inside the wilderness area (part of the no machinery thing). I think that the National Parks also have a no drone rule, but I'm less certain of that. The area around the cliff dwellings is managed by the NPS. Just something to look into before you go back, or to another wilderness area. It wouldn't be fun to get cited, fined, etc.

Awww darn. Loved your video, low key, brothers, etc… until it’s unfortunate that you feel (felt) it’s ok to use a drone in the Wilderness area. They are one of the few places where there is absolute peace from human machines. AND it can disturb wildlife, and other hikers. I feel that is unethical and irresponsible. I cannot subscribe at this point. You say u do it for viewers, but ur viewers would hopefully not WANT u to do that.
