It wasn't shown, but all the food scraps were scrubbed out with a finer sand further away from the water before cleaning up in the river.
Great video! If Nyah ever becomes single send her my way!!! ❤
You young folks are Awesome and the hope of your generation.
Done my heart good to see millenials with all these skills and enjoying nature. Thanks so much for sharing your trip!
i appreciate the kind words, james. im glad you enjoyed the video. were genuinely enjoy outdoor adventures and skills and are always hoping to inspire others.
@@JunkyardFox A tip as wet boots go lay the wet boots on there sides they dry faster that way just some info.
thats some good guitar intro
Great video guys and girls
thank you for joining us!
I wanna be just like James when I’m older he is my role model
Well done thanks for your video.
Thanks for watching!
FANTASTIC. I appreciate your take on the South West, thanks.
Just awesome friends.
Great video, James. The skillset practice was amazing!
Seeing this video 5 years later. Your video skills and “personality” have become so much more professional. Still, this was a fun video. Thanks
GREAT JOB ❤️ *****
You’re a “Greek God” now, you’ve created fire 🔥 😂 Great video!
Hey James, You may not like wearing hats but you look really good in them. Love the straw one.
Back in the early 2000s. I worked for a wilderness therapy place called the Anasazi Fountain. I learned a lot from Zeak. Lots of the techniques you used in this video, bed role backpack, bow drill fire, and washing dishes with the sand. I owe a lot to zeak and the Anasazi Fountain.
(Awesome video btw)
Thumbs up on the green chile!! I am so happy that I found you again. YT changed their "rhythm" if you get what I mean and I lost track of you, now I am subscribed. I live in New Mexico and appreciate the areas you video in. I love your videos and lots of love and prayers for my El Paso neighbors.
Wonderful video with so many great moments! Seems like it was an awesome trip 😁👍 Shane seems to be a great teacher and a really cool guy.
I respect you for learning more as you can.
And not being a know it all on front of the ladies.
That shows you are a man to ride the trail with. Willing to learn and no arrogant ego..
Much success to you guy.
Looks like everybody had a good time. We need more young women and couples to get into camping. Most people think it's just a bunch of men getting drunk shooting guns and hanging out. If we want our young people our children to learn camping we need to teach them. I always enjoy your content
I always feel sorry for desert cattle, especially after seeing those Colorado cattle in belly high grass. P.S. Shazam says Cuervo Negro on those sweet blues notes.
Congrats on the first bow drill fire James! Well done! I love the simplistic Minilmist adventure Shane and Nyah took you and Cuervo on. Great Inspirational outing. Atb Sean
thanks for watching Sean, this was a great experience!
An awesome camping trip you guys had i know i watched this before a d wanted to watch it again i dont think i comment on the first time but still amazing 😀
Glad you enjoyed it, this ones a classic
Just came across this video and really enjoyed it. Awesome friends you had with you. So awesome to see gals an guys of you age enjoying outdoors. Good job!! Excellent music too
Glad you enjoyed it! thank you for watching!
Nice trip! I'm guilty of this in the past, but when cleaning the dishes you should dump the dirty away from the water source. Shane definitely has some skills. I need to learn the bow drill for sure. This year!
It wasn't shown, but all the food scraps were scrubbed out with a finer sand further away. Thanks for watching!
Great video James! Really enjoyed it! Wish it was longer
The Kansbol on breakfast duty! I love that knife!
i had to go light and only take one knife on that trip. this is the one i chose. an instant classic.
The more i see it the more i want a kansbol ! Its like the big brother of my lil mora eldris. The eldris is my all time favorite camp knife, so i cant wait to try the bigger kansbol.
James, I'm impressed. It's a good thing your friend is not a arsonist, he is REALLY good at starting a fire, impressive.
That was a great camping trip, let's make it annual!
And?? Now almost 5 years later, did you repeat it???
@@echeric76 not yet, hopefully sometime in the next year!
Yeah, there's a Lone Ranger and Tonto joke about sleeping under the stars :)
Summer sausage is easy to make and lasts for months without a cooler. Pemmican is much better!
Awesome! Good job on building a fire with the bow and drill, that's a tough one to master.
He caught on pretty quick!
thanks brother! shane and nyah are great teachers, so it was very comprehensive to understand.
Good Job
Cuervo has some sweet tunes, it gives you that western southern vibe, great content 👍👍👍
As always enjoying your content.
Absolutely loved this video. Now my favorite one of yours. What a great group of friends. You are very lucky
thank you so much, im glad you enjoyed it!
I thought you were in the fireworks business.
Just messing with you, great stuff, very nice.
I'm loving these videos ❤️
thank you, be sure to check out our latest video, cuervo and i go camping in cloudcroft new mexico.
First fire! That's awesome Brotha.
Great video, man there so much amazing things you guys do. 👍🏼 up amigos.
I love you guys! You really bring up flashbacks from my campings ! I love to see your experience !
thank you for watching, my friend!
We get mosquito larvae in our jet tub sometimes. I fill it, they swim out. Anyways, when full I poured 4 cups of bleach in and they survived!! I couldn't believe it. It would be an interesting video to test your bleach purification method, and various others.
Really?! Geez
Really enjoyed the video. 👍
Nice video! Thanks for sharing!
I'm glad you wrote back fun channel I just lost my legim in a lot of pain like I've learned from u don't get to worried
i hope you feel better soon ,my friend!
Fun times.
Good times. Thanks for bringing us along.
Great video, and you need to put some rainx on your windshield you'll be able to see a lot better.
Congrats on the friction fire James. Good video, looks like you guys had fun. Also beautiful camping spot. Thanks for sharing and take care.
thank you, im glad you enjoyed it.
Loved these videos yall. Looks like alot of fun with some great folks.
Bet that bow drill fire was amazing experience!
The best!
I was able to use my Right Arrow to fast forward through the bllsht.
The bow drill lesson was cool 😎
thanks borther! be sure to check out the dedicated bowdrill video at the end, shawn is a great instructor.
@@JunkyardFox who's Shawn? 🤔
Shane Linenberger lol this time it was my dumb phone autocorrect
Looks like you're enjoying your primitive journey James. Well done , Wade
it was definitely an amazing experience, hoping to go again next year. thanks for watching Wade!
Fire by Friction still alludes me
Grate video congrats on the bow drill 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for bringing us along
thanks for watching Bill! be sure to check out our dedicated bowdrill video we released last week, shane is an exceptional instructor.
Congratulations on your bow drill coal James . I love that camp spot I think I'd do a hammock and skeeter net though as I don't like waking up to things crawling on me get up off the hot sand as well.
true, but honestly, it was really enjoyable, i just wish i had a stronger blanket because id get very cold at night
Why not make a tarp pack? That way you open it and the tarp is on the ground and not your blanket?
Water proof boots or not? I heard they dry faster if not!
Looks like you guys had a blast.
great video!
Other than the desert areas AZ is a great place for outdoor trips!
LOOKS LIKE A GOOD TIME
Brother Junk...I love your videos and this one is exceptionally a Goodie...but whatever editing program you are using...ya gotta increase the volume on the videos...I got my speakers cranked all the way up and the volume control on You Tube at maximum blasting power levels...and still the volume is difficult to hear...I wanna learn more about them ash cakes...
apologies on the audio, to be honest, it was our microphone which was starting to malfunction during the trip. plus the casual nature of filing the camping video, sometimes the microphone was put away in a pack or being used elsewhere when we filmed content. but were getting a new mic this week. thank you for watching!
Thank you for your videos, we love them!
thanks for watching, im glad you love our content!
For making a fire using the bow drill technique, is there certain recommended woods to use here in the Sonoran desert?
Why didn't they take off their boots and use the sandals to cross the stream?
Green Chile!
Jalapenos! Like a true Mexican!
Hey, James, that was great. Shane's a great teacher and has an awesome knowledge base on that stuff. How far did you guys hike to your camp spot? Razor!? You took a razor? (9:26) Thanks for taking us along, I really enjoyed it!
Thanks man, I appreciate it!
well keep in mind that traveling to arizona was more than jsut the camping trip. but the rent a hotel the night before meeting up, and another the last night before leaving in the morning.those 5 days required some maintenance lol
Good skill And nice place for camping
awesome video! , no fish in the stream? :)
Where at in Az is this?
near payson
Curious as to what area of Arizona? Kind of looks like the Sedona area? Nice video, thanks!
I know this is an old video but where abouts in Arizona is this? I'm in Az as well, northern area the verde Valley, camp verde/ cottonwood
Not too far from Cottonwood, in the Mazatal Wilderness
What is the reason for using the bow drill on a hat? A hat is a important resource and shouldn't be used like that. Just wondering if there is a specific reason for it or could you have used a piece of bark or another item that is not a part of your clothing.
The hat kept the bow drill out of the sand, soft sand makes a poor surface for firemaking. The hat made a firmer surface on top and works quite well 🙂
Ramen with jalapeno, tomato and peanuts for me.
What do you do in reference to coyotes and other wild life in desert? And have you encountered any while camping?
truthfully ive never had any issues with wildlife in the desert other than annoying flies lol
Most wildlife would rather avoid humans. Exceptions can occur such as with bears, and sometimes a buck deer at night that is being aggressive to protect it's territory. I have had more issues with buck deer at night than with Coyotes. In some areas Moose, Elk, Buffalo, and wild pigs should be avoided as much as possible as well. The main critter to be wary of is Skunks. They are prone to rabies. Raccoons and Opossums may come into camp if they smell food and are looking for any trash you left around, but they generally stay on the outskirts of a campsite if there is a campfire or lantern going. However, both can be aggressive when threatened. In some areas porcupines can be a nuisance like Opossums and Raccons. Coyotes might come in to investigate food smells, but it would be rare. They would rather wait for you to leave and then investigate any food smells. Most wild animals won't bother you unless you bother them and they are protecting young, or are injured, sick, or rabid. In wild areas, scout the area you want to camp in for Badger dens, Coyote dens, and other animal dens or nests. Check for other signs of wildlife, like bedding areas, animal trails used for getting to water, or that are used for general travel such as when deer move from a grazing area to a bedding location, or when Coyotes are traveling from a den to water or to hunt. Those are areas to avoid camping in. But, good for hunting.
too many things to comment on so I'm just saying this was one cool video of the camp out with your friends I really enjoyed watching
thank you for watching Craig, i appreciate it
Do you have a link to the Shemagh you show at 9:00 into the video? Ive never seen that pattern and color before.
no this was a gift from a friend, he brought it from spain. i believe its a shawl.
seems u guys had a good trip.
Where is this. I’m new to an me and some buddies want to try and get into bushcrafting we can’t seem to find good info on any places that are secluded near water
im not sure where this was, somewhere past payson az
cool and informative video. Does morning dew affects the stuff and sleeping gear while sleeping in open under sky?
we mainly camp in arid areas so morning dew is very rare
epic. keep them coming
I like nyah
What no beer or whiskey?
not in very adventure
Shane has been watching a bit too much Cody Lundin.
😆 I was going to ask if he is Cody's son. At the least, I'm willing to bet he's been to Cody's school
@@stevenmonkman1500 You are probably right. Has the purple bandana and the neck knife. I read Cody Lundin's book and he has a lot of good points but he also lives in a desert and I live in the mountains so I could only incorporate some of his things. Great to learn from many but don't just copy one.
best video yet keep up the good work 😈
thanks for watching buddy!
Where in AZ?
I would like to know what kind of camera/mic and such do you use? I always love your videos James.
Maybe a dumb question but how do you avoid waking up with a snake sleeping on the ground like that always been curious
to be honest, m not sure. i normally sleep in a tent, which provides protection but the rare times ive slept just on the ground, ive never had much more than a few bugs scrambling around. never had an issue with snakes though.
That is kind of a myth. Not saying it can't happen, but it would be very rare for a snake that is generally afraid of human beings to crawl into bed with you. The main thing is to shake out any bedding that has been left laying on the ground before you get in it. If a snake ends up in your bed with you it was probably there when you got in it because it was left on the ground at some point while you were absent from camp. Keep bedding rolled up and off the ground when you aren't in it and you will be fine. About the only snake that is going to crawl into bed with you is a pet snake that is use to people and being handled. Wild snakes, like most wild animals, would rather avoid you.
I would be more worried about scorpions and ticks. Insect repellant is an essential. I hate chiggers. However, if you spread some garden sulfur around where you are going to sleep it will help ward off the insects.
Will there be a review on that lighter? Or did you throw it in the river after it almost caught you in fire :P
lol no we did end up reviewing it. ua-cam.com/video/x-1vWvrEhJw/v-deo.html
That spatula is called a spurtle
id never heard that term before, thank you
I prefer the 2 buckle haversack his new one had only one I'm sure it works great but the 2 buckle just looks better
nice crew
We’re did u guys go i’m looking for a better camping place to take my family
im not certain exactly were we were at, but it was past payson arizona.
Thank you
I swear I know Shane from somewhere... is he from Utah?
He lived there for a time
@@JunkyardFox He looked familiar, and the name sounded familiar. I want to say we went to the same school but I can't put a finger on it.
Very nice video. Thanks so much. Please pass on to Cuervo, that I enjoyed his music as always .
thank yu very much, ill be sure to tell him
Is there a redundancy in the name Cuervo Negro?
translated from spanish its Black Crow or Black Raven
: ( i has Bad experience ,camping My tend has holes, during the night ,a blood sukers bit us , literal y ended like ketchup bag!! No serious desease has, Even we found a clear Scorpion yoin sleeping with us but no one WHERE bit from it
Amigo, your gringo friend should not go out into the Sonoran desert half naked wearing shorts and flip flops, that is mooy mucho loco I think, he need long pants and de cowboy boots like you. He reminds me of de gringo cody lundin, mucho loco
Greetings from the Mojave. How do you sleep sober? Had to ask.
lol trust me, wth all the hiking and the summer heat, youre just about passing out by 10pm lol
James I can't find a way to msg you on here so I will nerd out in public. Ever read the Scout comics by Timothy Truman? Huge fan this is one of the best YT channels!
howdy! no ive never even heard of those comics, ill check them out. thank you so much for the kind words!
Copasetic frog dude approves.
