I rust blue and make a new stock for a Winchester 94 chambered in 30 WCF (30-30) that was made in 1910. This was a long process and many would say that I ruined the history or shouldn't use a gun that old. After the "restoration" I use the gun just like I would a new one. These lever action guns are fun to shoot and are versatile in many hunting or target shooting scenarios. ty.makingitwild@gma...

Making an arrow puller for when you stick an arrow in a tree from stump shooting or roving. This would also be a good tool to carry at a 3D archery tournament. This puller will work with broadheads as well as field point that are shot with any recurve or longbow but will also work with compound bows. ty.makingitwild@gmail.com #archery #tradbow #3darchery

Now I wish i hadn't got rid of my rifle scabbard.
Greetings from Venezuela... could you show what the small piece inside looks like? the one that produces the sound... thank you
@@gilbertopadron6984 hello. The Reed is a jc reed that is commercially made. You can order them online. They are cheap but I’m not sure how shipping works for you in Venezuela. Good luck building yours. You’ll have fun with it.
Watching video for the second time. My brother, dad and i hiked up to reeds peak from Hermosa on spud patch trail i believe in the late 80s. Hunted all of the east side below diamond peak to Victoria park mountain. Hiked in to the animas in the early 2000s. Was amazing. Brett Vaughn did a recent video in there. Burned pretty bad, old cabin is gone. Love your videos.
@@robertnorth740 that area has changed a lot after all the fires but it’s still some awesome country. The animas has changed a lot from when you were in there in the early 2000s but it’s still worth visiting. I’m impressed you watched it twice. Thanks. I’m hoping to get some more videos out in the near future.
@Makingitwild I love the historical twist you add in the videos. Please continue when you can. Be safe on the trails.
remarkable and encouraging . very informative and happy for the A+ results. I inherited the same , and had the restoration done on it . way to go ! Thank you .

That is an epic story of your grandad. What a legend!
The cannon story blows my mind. I wish it hadn’t been stolen. I would love to see it, I’m going to get that book. I think you would like the story of Doc Noss and the victorio peak gold if you aren’t already familiar. My dad’s best friend growing up was a descendant of doc and they had a map made by doc that showed places he had stashed some gold. Every time they found a stash point, there was a big hole in the ground. Already dug up. There are photos of golden swords and Virgin Mary statues online. It’s a pretty amazing story.
@@ClaytonSensiba I’ve heard of the victorio peak gold and have read some stuff about it but haven’t spent too much time looking into it. I’ll check out the stuff online. Thanks for the recommendation.
I found out about the diamond bar debacle after passing through there and becoming curious of the ranch’s history. Gosh dang I got mad reading that!
@@ClaytonSensiba it’s really frustrating and sad.
Ty, have you done anything concerning Victorio's attack at Massacre Canyon? Have you been there? Also, I know you use Onx Backcountry. do you also carry a satellite rescue device? Garmin? Zoleo?
@@kelvinwilkinson7629 it’s funny you mentioned that because I’m planning on going in to massacre canyon in a couple weeks. I’ve spent a lot of time in that area but the trails were so bad I haven’t been there in 7 years. Some trail crews have been working in that area so I’m going to go see if it’s opened up. I’ve been carrying a zoleo the last few years.
Liked your video Ty. It brought back memories of the many times I went back there with my Dad and Larry. The adventures were definitely crazy! The neatest thing was the "secret door" that concealed the canyon. You could accidentally walk right past it. The Spanish markers continued all the way down the hidden canyon all the way to the first waterfall.
@@ShawnBulle It sounds like it was a lot of fun trying to put everything together. I need to find some time to go up the canyon. Hopefully it’s in the near future. I will be sure not to miss the secret door. Let me know if there is anything else I should look for. Thanks to you and your dad for all the work you guys put into bringing that story to light. It is one that would have been lost if it wasn’t for writing a book about it.
What a great video, thanks for sharing!
Went to Hillsboro Peak today. It was a great hike. Thanks for the info
Are those Mexican wolves? What caliber sidearm do you carry?
@@DaveHoffmancowboyhiker yes they are. .40
I lived on the GOS in 1965-67 something like that I love hearing stories about it I wish I would’ve listened more as a kid my step grandpa was Hub Estes and grandma was Boots Estes they owned it for a while
One of my favorite trips ever was climbing up to Touch-Me-Not and hiking over to Baldy. That road up to Green Mountain is pretty steep!
That is ridiculous you can't free-camp overnight in there...
@@davidogle9247 yes it is.
I have seen elk travelling through that area but they were in the creek bottoms of Ponil creek. South and east of Cimmeron. The UU bar area is supposed to be full of elk as well. Thanks for posting a great look at that area!
Ty, if you purchase an extra tube and longer blade from Wyoming Knife, you can turn that saw into the longer model for those bigger logs....
@@michaelyoumans2113 I’ve thought about getting the longer blade but I carry the small one so I have more self control and won’t tackle the big logs.
I've been there! Great trip! I packed in over a dozen years ago, with the authors. It's rough country. Great History. Read Hidden Treasures of the Black Range by Marshall Bulle and Larry Ditzer.
@@shopoutfitters61 I’m sure that was interesting before all of the pieces were together and they were just figuring it out as they went.
Lmao that mule knows where to make camp and rest lol😂
@@hatcherhollerhoodlum4418 she picks the spot and sticks to it.
Glad you found that book. I thought it was cool how they compared Adam's map with photos of the area,
@@dr.maturin4648 I agree. I wanted to show pictures from the book but since it’s relatively new I didn’t think they would appreciate me using their images.
Let’s also not forget, the black fire was human caused carelessness, and there has been no official identification of the person or people who did it. So no civil remedy available for the rest of the residents impacted. Thanks USFS, but its widely known a wealthy environmental organization was up camping and checking canyons at the time. Every other forest was closed to camping die to the drought, but we coddle certain organizations.
@@wolfcrossing they’ll keep it covered up and deny responsibility. Could you imagine what they would do if it were me or you?
The Diamond bar allotment was still the ranch, the USFS had an agreement, when they bought the place, to improve tanks for watering, but when the local greens decided they didn’t approve, the USFS coddled them and started the process to destroy the historic Diamond Bar, with zero consideration of the investment made by Kit and Sherry. So basically the UsFS stole the allotment and purchased rights in it from them. It was against the law, but it hardly matters with the full justice system backing these agencies.
@@wolfcrossing its frustrating that someone with a personal agenda will use government resources to destroy the little guy.
Hey Ty Lee your what every red blooded American appreciates and respects,this is the way our country was founded by horse mule and wagons, it’s very refreshing to see a young man doing what you do. thanks again for putting out these videos they are very good for our younger people.
@@Clarence-to5qx thank you. The videos are rough but hopefully I’ll get better
my edc is a colt mod 1911a1 made in 1942 that was converted to a target pistol for the national match at camp perry. old is good wen it comes to firearms!
Adding dowsing to your exploration activities will give more substantive information about the endeavor being undertaken. In the 1970's my father and I reverse engineered the physics involved in dowsing (the same physics that energizes the alarm on electronic metal detectors), and we invented the modern light weight ball bearing dowsing rod for applying dowsing physics in locating our old core-drill on the exact center of gold and silver veins, that are buried under 200 feet of glacier rock and till, which worked out perfectly for us. I wrote the book to teach the world how to apply physics in dowsing. My book: The Art of Dowsing - Separating Science from Superstition ($14.95), by Michael Fercik, explains all the physics involved in dowsing and teaches how to build the modern light weight ball dowsing rod, which is the only dowsing rod that accurately gauges the element being dowsed by pitting the energy of gravity against the energizing of the pure one-tenth ounce dowsing rod load that is tapped onto the ELEVATED acetylene welding rod, which free spins on ball bearings. This precisely gauges the dowsing of all edges, exact center, depth buried with angle of deposition, and most important is grading or deciphering the amount of the dowsed element that is contained in the elemental mass being dowsed. Anybody can become a professional dowser by practicing my book's dowsing lessons of buried pipelines and electrical cables, tunnels and voids, precious and base metal placer and lode deposits, dowsing for treasure, dowsing for any element, amplified long distance dowsing from a moving vehicle, and dowsing on water from a boat. I hope dowsing enriches your life intellectually and financially.
Above the campground there were a bunch of beaver ponds re-wilding the canyon last time I hiked it.
@@dugfern there are still a lot of beavers around the campground and up the creek a couple miles.
@@Makingitwild lots of javalina too. .
A very good video, I saw another video you done of the hila wilderness and an old cabin, hey we really enjoy your videos thankyou great job.
What happened To that family is called government Communist yes, look what happened to Colorado. It is so bad now to be a beautiful place to be run by a bunch of Social’s.
very enjoyable content, one of them small electric chainsaws would have been helpful
@@paulh9727 a chainsaw would be very helpful but they aren’t allowed in the Wilderness.
@@Makingitwild caught that a bit later after I had already posted. Lots of restrictions.
Great to see an old gun still getting used for it's designed purpose. John Browning would be proud of you!
@@Danceswithempties thanks. He might be a little critical of my craftsmanship but I think he would be glad people are still using his stuff.
Awesome, hiked down into the Las Animas creek in that area one time back in the early 1990's. Toughest hike of all time for me. Super cool in the canyon bottoms and even caught some cutthroats. A real adventure! Great video! Brought back some great memories.
Good seeing that you're still going strong Ty .. Best wishes from an old Archery Hut friend
@@user-qw7kh4ll3d thanks. Hope all is well.
@@Makingitwild All good here in Cruces Ty
I’ve heard a lot of stories about black range have you ever had any weird encounters or something you couldn’t really explain while in there? We deer hunted south of there a few yrs back really pretty country out there .
@@stvwalden1 I come across stuff often that is strange but it’s always something that a person or animal did that just didn’t make sense. I’ve never had any kind of supernatural encounter but little things like seeing lights that aren’t natural.
Thanks for another great video, now I know why you were out of service for a couple of days. That's why I go to some of the places I do, just to be out of service. Where those raspberries or rose hips that would give you the runs? I got a good laugh out of that. Thanks again for sharing, I hope to see some of that country myself some day.
@@RandyRiggs74 there are a lot of raspberries all over up there. Thanks
I've enjoyed all your videos. This one is a masterpiece I love that country up there and I've heard those stories and I am impressed I think rough is the word for that country I think that's why I always really liked that country and the whole gila keep riding. Be safe and God bless. Oh and PS if I was young enough to use them, I'd buy those good mountain horses. They're worth more than a good mule
@@RobertJones-m2q thanks. I’m glad you like this one. It was a fun trip. It’s hard to beat a good mountain horse.
Heard about you from Brett Vaughn, and happy to have watched your travels. I’ve lived all over southern New Mexico most of my life. I still do a lot of exploring, but not in the mountains or wilderness areas. Thanks for sharing.
@@BilliamDEring thanks. Brett does a good job on his videos. It’s hard to really show what these areas are like but hopefully people get a glimpse of what’s out there.
I like your videos: I love exploring the remote corners of the Black Range. Not many people get out there. Question for you: was there water at Reed's Meadow?
@@pintahalfmusic there was water at the spring. It wasn’t flowing a lot but still had enough water
@@Makingitwild Thank you!
Just curious what all do you take with you on the solo trips on the two pack animals? Had me laughing at the group discussion on riding or hiking. Would love to see a video of a full breakdown of what you take with you with two vs one etc. Great videos and I especially like the history you know of the area!
@@drewcastetter2987 people would probably laugh at how little I take. I pack them light when I’m by myself and the extra just carries feed. I can make a video of what I pack but it’s probably less than most backpackers. Thanks for the comment
This is one of your best, if not the best I love that country. It's like you said it's about as rough as it gets and I wouldn't go off in it either I remember the stories and some of the people like Walt Nichols I admire your adventure spirit Ride safe and God bless and I always love the good mountain horse. Looks like you got some. Thanks!
Ty, obviously you found and read the book. Was it by any chance autographed by the authors? I found mine in Hillsboro at the museum and it was autographed. Perhaps the authors are living in that area or the museum personnel may have an idea on their whereabouts.
@@kelvinwilkinson7629 it was signed. I think he lives in Colorado but couldn’t find any contact information.
Ty, I'm the guy that made the book recommendation. Hope you enjoyed the book and glad you investigated. A great video. I had read it was rough getting up there and you proved it. Always wondered if the fires might have made it a little easier or perhaps a current days drone might reveal a few more clues.
@@kelvinwilkinson7629 thanks for the recommendation. It’s a good book. A drone would help find a lot but you can’t fly them in Wilderness areas. I would be afraid to post anything online because fine.
Going back there on foot like we did all of those times was the greatest weight loss program ever!
Thanks for replying Shawn. Are you still in the region?
@@kelvinwilkinson7629 Yes, if Arizona is included in the region. I still go to Silver City now and then.
Thanks for sharing! Would love to do some of your rides. On that part where the trail was eroding away, could you go up the creek instead? Just curious. Bushwhacking with a pack string is a biotch!
@@DaveHoffmancowboyhiker that’s what I had to do a lot to get up the river. Just find a spot you could get off the bank and ride up the bottom. It’s slow going over the rocks but it works.
Love your videos Ty That is some rough country. I grew up deer hunting that with my dad at 10 ten year's of age. Loved the stories
@@RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors it’s good deer country. Was probably better when you were a kid.
This was great video would love to be considered for the give away. Have compound but would really like to get into more traditional as I am trying to simplify my life and how I do things. Plus as Retired military I am always looking for a new challenge. Again thanks for the awesome video
To be honest, my butt hole puckered watching you drive the mag tube hanger off the barrel.
Nice Rifle! They were made for shooting. You might have erased 100 years of memories but now you can make another 100 years worth.
If that gun letters to that barrel it was worth enough to buy you at least ten modern lever action rifles... long barrels are rare. So why buy an old antique and destroy it? Why did you destroy a man's rifle who's wife interested you to take care of? Also why did you make a new stock? There is a stock finish for Winchester stocks called Winchester red... it is a walnut red tented linseed oil stain that you rub in. Also why blue the action, lever, and but plate? they are supposed to be color Case hardened. Don't do this. If you want to do weird stuff to rifles they sell new ones.... Buy one of those and break out the sand paper.
Did you ever give this bow away?
@@BanksProject I never did. I forgot all about that. Is suggestions on how I should give it to someone? Drawing or something?
@@Makingitwild friend if you want to send it my way I would take it in a heartbeat. What I would do with it is practice in my back field with my 10 year old son. Any who, thanks for the response.
@@BanksProject send me an email. ty.makingitwild@gmail.com
I'm very impressed.
Yep, hunted Coues all my life and that is how I have always pronounced it...and heard it pronounced in Arizona.
