That was a great video. I like exploring the dark places like mines or caves. Very nice job explaining the history of the place too. The vandalism is very disheartening, especially when it’s something that’s stood for decades or hundreds or thousands of years in the case of ancient artifacts. That rock formation at 14:10 almost looks like a hand getting ready to close on the weary traveler taking shelter.

Thanks Scott. I have had an obsession in the past with old mines. Great adventuring if you can choose the safe ones. Vandalism is the main reason I don't give away the locations, most people are cool, even awesome, but a few are not. I want' go go back and camp under those hoodoos. Such a beautiful area.

When RV camping/hiking always take a weapon to defend yourself against all types of predators. Any gun type is good at least an 8" blade survivor knife. I carry a modified 5-foot walking staff that I snap my knife on to have a ready spare. I also carry some M80 firecrackers(to scare off unwanted intruders) and mace (for bears). It is a good idea to have a motion sensor LED garden light and a loud horn too even a 900-mile laser pointer can be used defensively blinding the eyes of monsters and signaling. If you hear weird noise outside light a M80 throw it out the window after the loud bang thing quiet down. If not shout out "I have a gun and if I have to come out you will pay dearly."

Hey, Easy Camper, I live in South Pierce County. My wife has never been camping, and we have a 2 year old. I've done the bush thing, most of my life. I grew up building shelters and all of that. East of King, unincorporated areas. Where is a good place for us to go camping? Green water is a popular option, but maybe a little too popular. We have a van with good ground clearance, and I could put off road tires on it (front wheel drive). We'd like to go somewhere by a river, obviously, but out of the way enough to bring firearms. Maybe there are some spot in Green Water, idk. Maybe you know an area that you could DM me? Love your videos, man.
@dandog7653Ай бұрын
Been awhile since I've been to that area. I would suggest that you start with google maps and google earth. First look at google maps for a river, lake or whatever with road access. If you think you see something check further on google earth. Also, the main forest service roads are usually nice enough for the vehicle you described. The main routes consisting of a two digit number. In the greenwater area I remember FS 70. Gravel pits are good shooting areas, these show up on maps as a crossed shovel and pick. An app such as "US Tops Maps" can also be helpful. I would start with a nice day trip to suspected areas and find a nice spot to come back to. Hope that helps. Sorry I can't be more specific but I really haven't been in that area for some years. Thanks for watching and the kind words!

I thought of putting my chair in the river but in the end I mostly waded and didn't sit much in the chair.

Somehow looking at that area from either side, or from over by Quincy, and knowing that there's not much out there, gives one the impression that it's real rough country. But what I saw looks like eastern Oregon.

There are regular ole forest animals that use one spot as a bathroom. They don't like the sh*t where they nest/den or near their babies. I do not believe in Sasquatch. Nor does my tribe, even tho they maintain a sightings call center. When asked if they've ever come across any real proof of it's existence during sightings investigation. They said No.-----Cherokee. The very ones who have stories of the Sasquatch ppl in our oral history lol. It's allegory. White ppl don't get that, and we love to tell the stories, but it's allegory.

I'm sorry I just seen your comment. I have spent so much time in the forest and have never seen a bigfoot, so I am inclined to not believe in them either. I just can't get out of my head that what I seen doesn't' make any sense being from any animal I know of. That seed of doubt keeps me thinking, I will go back I'm sure as I'm still not satisfied. Thankyou for your input and perspective. BTW my father was Lakota.
