I really appreciate Tristan’s dedication to making great videos. Filming the river crossing and flooded path crossing is going above and beyond. Thanks. I don’t know here he gets all the energy to hike so many sequences twice because he has to backtrack to retrieve the camera.
Pathfinder extraordinaire! I’m so glad you found your shoe 😂 I can’t believe you did that while filming. Thank you for showing us the good the bad and the muddy!
Good video. These sorts of adventures makes one really appreciate what Lewis and Clark and the Voyage of Discovery went through. I'm sure their GPS signal was pretty weak and I can't imagine how many pairs of Crocs they lost along the way! LOL
You are so much braver than me! I don’t like to put my feet where I can’t see them. That mud would have had me doing a u turn. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us. ❤️
Fantastic adventure video . When you got to that first quagmire , were you not concerned about it possibly being quicksand ? STAY SAFE we love your videos
We use a telescopic walking pole. It helps keep balance in such muddy/slippery situations and it probes what is hidden in front before a step is made...
When I saw you enter that muddy bog I thought to myself "I wonder when the shoes are going to get sucked off?". I am sure you have a healthy respect for Bison, but for anyone visiting the area who is a newbie, Bison run as fast as a horse and have an uneven disposition.
I like the fact that you spent more time than usual showing us the wildlife you saw. I find that interesting. I've never been to Theodore Roosevelt NP but I've been to the Badlands several times. I find it a good spring/fall place. On my last trip I did more off-trail hiking than trail hiking and saw no one on any of those hikes. It wasn't hard at all with a map and compass because the walking was easy. The vegetation is low enough that it doesn't slow you down much and landmarks are readily visible. Roosevelt looks more lush and green and I don't know if the grass is any taller there. I always enjoy your videos.
👵The book called "Pigrims Progress" comes 2 mind . . . A story writen while in jail about the progress, challenges and set backs one will encounter on the trail of life.Thankyou Tristen for not removing the mud and mire section - could feel your "pain" and wondered if u were in over your head cuz quicksand does occure in that region. . . Thankyou and prayers for ur 22:54 safety while entertaining my grey hairs. 💝🤗🙏
Wow! What a hike. I would not be able to deal with the muddy swamp area, not knowing what was in the murky depths. You are such an intrepid adventurer!
Bison and wide berth for those who are not familiar is important. My rule of thumb is look at them and figure what a safe distance is AND THEN DOUBLE IT as I have found that for as large and ponderous as they look, they are amazingly fast runners. Especially if it is near breeding season. A bull will protect his harem at any cost and once they get moving they are fast and just like a freight train they carry a lot of momentum. A flight through the air is exciting but I suspect the landing would suck. It just amazes me to see the videos of less than genius folks at Yellowstone get thrown around some even putting their children at risk. Be safe and remember you are in their backyard out there. Beautiful hike Tristan and thank you for taking us along. Only you would turn a long hike into a super long hike by backtracking for film footage like this even adding extra river crossing to it. It really did make the point though so thanks. Not sure I would ever ford a stream that muddy since you cannot tell the deep holes, but bravo to you for doing so. I much prefer clear rivers that you can see the pathway of shallow.
I'm dying watching you in the mud! 😄Thanks for leaving it in. It's not all roses and rainbows when you hike somewhere. Thanks too for taking us on this hike. Beautiful!
We loved our time camping in both units of Theodore Roosevelt NP. It was also great to go to Elkhorn Ranch also. It was an interesting feeling to be where so much history took place with such a forward-thinking President.
I probably love this video more than some of your other videos I don’t know what it was about it but it was so enjoyable, thank you what a great adventure! I love all your videos by the way but this one was exceptional for me
Wow! Thanks so much for that! Definitely a bit epic with those river crossings but gives an excellent perspective on what life was like for the pioneering types back in the day. Totally appreciate the multiple camera shots--especially the mud crossing! When we watched it thought OMGosh! He's doing this twice! Thank your!
it continues to amaze me the lengths you will go to get yourself, distantly, in the picture. You must walk extra miles. Great touch. Certainly tells the story, helps the flow. Nice video. "a little uncertainty is always nice"... ok, if you say so. Thanksforsharing.
Another great series of new sights to see. I would have been nervous crossing that muddy river not being able to see what was in there. Those round rocks are pretty amazing. Thanks again.
love that park!! was there about a month ago. had my dog with me so we couldn't do any hikes but still saw a ton of wildlife along the road. got stuck in a bison traffic jam for about twenty minutes. the herd was huge, at least 100 animals and lots of babies
First ever rattlesnake I've ever seen was in Theodore Roosevelt national Park. If you camp in the park, the buffalo will occasionally walk through the campground. I think one of the sites I stayed at was called cottonwood.
Great video and comments as usual. I have been to Theodore Roosevelt NP several times, the first in 1997. It started as a stop on my way to Glacier NP but has now become a destination. I was there with a friend last September and we saw an amazing amount of wildlife! My friend had never seen a pronghorn before but one posed for us as if on cue and we saw many wild horses which I had only seen fleetingly in the past. Good luck in your future adventures and be safe.
You are one brave guy to cross that mud! River was great but that mud.. sorry but yuck. The rest of the hike was great. I really enjoy your upper Midwest adventures.
Love it! I will be in TRNP next month! I definitely do not have it in me to do this hike, but I will be doing a lot of the things you did in your first visit here. Great video, as always!
When I was young I fished in the North Platte river in Nebraska. Literally, in the river. I was surprised how shallow it was, like your first Little Missouri crossing. It must be great to visit a scenic area, without all the commercial stuff, and very few people as well. I know what it's like, and I really enjoy those opportunities. Travel on TH!
Here’s a croc shoe tip: wrap duck tape around your foot and shoe. I once had a regular shoe mishap on a hike and had to resort to my camp shoes to finish the hike. Duck tape kept me going.
One of your best, imo. I was sitting on the edge of my seat grimacing as you forged that river-twice! Ooooh, yuck! I just knew you were going to get stuck! I don’t have that much of a spirit for adventure. That’s why I just love your videos as I get to go adventuring through you! Awesome!
I started a hike from the Cannonball Concretions and lost the trail in the muck. I had a great cross-country trek back though. I had some great mule deer buck sightings, and petrified wood.
Oh man, that mud was a different level of obstacle. Glad to see you complete the hike and show us the best of the northern section of the park! Looking forward to the next trip!
Thanks for the video. It looks beautiful there. I won't be hiking that trail, and if I did the mud would have stopped me first. That scene when you were crossing the river was crazy. And you had the camera going on the other side, that means you crossed it twice, wow. You long distance shots are amazing. You may have been on an 18 mi trail but with all those other shots and setting up the camera you may have gone twice that distance.
The wildlife on the ridge...Outstanding! That area I intend to spend a month exploring. And will bring yak with me. Did I mention how Beautiful the Wildlife appeared on the ridge?? That's the Stuff that freezes me in my tracks. That and river crossings. 😁. Well done, Tristan, well done!
This was one of your most interesting videos, although now I am not certain you are of sound mind after crossing that mud flat! It looked dangerous to me. I like the scenery. T. R.'s Elkhorn Ranch just west of the Park site is also worth a drive and short hike. The foundation stones of his original cabin are visible. Thanks for posting this video! Stay safe!
I worked along the Little Mo west of there in an area of cool buttes. There was ,,literally,, tons of the most uninteresting and probably some of the youngest petrified wood around. It was very course grained,,probably cottonwood,,but nonetheless I picked up several chunks( off of private land, I'd not pick it off public land. That was about 83. I packed those ugly chunks around with me as I moved. They disappeared somewhere,,and I shed no tears. I do love the north unit of the Teddy. Never have done that hike,,but it looks interesting. There is supposed to be a significant lion population in the Ted's. I've never seen one there but I did find some old tracks once. There is also a transplanted herd of Rocky Mountain Elk. Saw 3 huge bulls once around the area. Kinda cool to see animals returned to their old stomping grounds. Most people don't realize it,,because it has invariably been portrayed to be in the mountains ,, but the famous incident with mtnman Hugh Glass actually occured along a creek in what is now western NoDak. Wouldnt the ranchers just love to have Grizz running around again! Lol That mud was vile and disgustingly horrible, but there was a ton of moisture this year. My best bud lives in Minot,,so I pass through there quite often. On another trip,, there are 2 state parks that might interest you. Makoshika just south of Glendive and Medicine Rocks out of Ekalaka,,both kind of interesting. This trip you did,,was beautiful,,except the shoe eating mud.
Fantastic!! Thanks for the dedication on this one! Is it weird that I would be more willing to walk through the river than the tall grass? I've had way too many seed ticks covering my legs before...yes, seed ticks. They're a thing here in Arkansas. Basically, 1,000 teeny-tiny baby ticks are clumped together and when something passes by and touches it/them, they all swarm you and cover you, leaving hundreds of little bites that itch for 2-3 months straight. It's awful.
That mud, lol! Last time I was in that park we tried to do a trail that was swamped with mud, but I had my four kids with me.... we turned around. Needless to say, I feel like I've got some unfinished business there too.
Thanks for a great video. My wife and I visited Theodore Roosevelt National Park both north and south units in 2021. One of our favorite national parks. 👍🙏
Very cool hike! Nice hat by the way. A guy where I live was walking in mud like that along the Susquehanna river and sank in and had to be rescued. Good thing he had a phone with him. Again, great video.
Wow such gorgeous views and such an inspiring video! It's so lovely! I've done a few of those quagmire crossing myself and lost a couple of water shoes along the way. Definitely will be planning a trip here.
Your video effort is amazing. Backtracking so we can see you crossing the bog and river?! A+ for your efforts. Does make a much more interesting video.
Loved the whole trip, Tristan. Hope u got your watch clean after the quagmire crossing 😱 That is definitely a beautiful park with tons of things to see & places to go. Looking forward to your next adventure. 👍🏻🙋🏼♀️🦬
To see bison roaming free in their historic range is just amazing. In 1803 a French-Canadian trader named Jean Baptiste LePage descended the Little Missouri River in his dugout canoe. He was at the Mandan villages in the fall of 1804 when Lewis and Clark arrived. They invited him to join the Expedition.
Thank you for showcasing again our beautiful North Unit of TR National Park! I live a short distance from there and love hiking and camping there. I laughed out loud during the soggy bentonite sections and the Little Mo crossings. We native North Dakotans just know to wait a few days after a heavy rain to avoid the muck! Great video!
You must be a little crazy on the side,, I have watched you for years I don't know how you walk almost 21 miles film yourself and walk through the mud and do the things you do, And after 21 miles,,, you get back in your car and you're ready to go down the road on another venture You don't seem to never tired out, plus you are always by yourself,,that mud could have been quitsand, I know you have done this all you life, But it's still amazing how you find this placs and do all of them by yourself and nobody around, thanks for the hard work you do,,,,,
New subscriber here from Michigan. Needless to say, I appreciated the Pictured Rocks video and I can recommend plenty more hikes in the UP: Escarpment Trail at Porcupine Mountains is my favorite (Lake of the Clouds overlook cannot be missed!). Bare Bluff Trail and Montreal Falls in the Keweenaw Peninsula are also beautiful, as well as Sugarloaf Mountain near Marquette. Miners Falls, Sable Falls, and the Log Slide Overlook at Pictured Rocks are all short, sweet, and awe-inspiring. I was at Theodore Roosevelt's North Unit on October 4 last year, and the bison were very close to me as I took Achenbach to Sperati Point. I had a very similar experience there. When I showed up to my hotel in Bismarck a few hours later, I was surprised to see a professional photograph of Sperati Point at sunrise on the wall in the lobby. That was confirmation I had just been to a special place!
The next time you venture eastward to Minnesota or the upper peninsula of Michigan, I'd like to see you spend some time in Isle Royale NP. Never been there myself, though I have circumnavigated Lake Superior, but would love to see it through your eyes as your videography is so engaging.
thanks again for a great video. I have watched many over the last few years and was wondering if you would produce a top 10 from your adventures. thanks chuck
Those round rocks remind me of Bowling Ball Beach in Mendocino County, California. Thos mud crossings were ridiculous, but this video definitely made me want to visit Theodore Roosevelt NP.
In the Sierra Nevada I came across poops that looked like coils of rope = cougar poop; Your example looked more like tall grass stalk remains = Bison Poop? Once I took a stick and cut still steaming bear poop, lotsa manzanita berries.
Seems like this might be a good area for a packraft hike in-paddle out type adventure. The concretions reminded me a bit of the cracked eggs in the Bisti/De-Na-Zin wilderness
Oh my gosh, Tristan. You go above and beyond for your viewers. What a video.!!!
I really appreciate Tristan’s dedication to making great videos. Filming the river crossing and flooded path crossing is going above and beyond. Thanks. I don’t know here he gets all the energy to hike so many sequences twice because he has to backtrack to retrieve the camera.
Ditto. Talk about taking one for the team!
Pathfinder extraordinaire! I’m so glad you found your shoe 😂 I can’t believe you did that while filming. Thank you for showing us the good the bad and the muddy!
Doing the swamp and river crossings twice each is true dedication. You deserve a gold star.
Good video. These sorts of adventures makes one really appreciate what Lewis and Clark and the Voyage of Discovery went through. I'm sure their GPS signal was pretty weak and I can't imagine how many pairs of Crocs they lost along the way! LOL
You are so much braver than me! I don’t like to put my feet where I can’t see them. That mud would have had me doing a u turn. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us. ❤️
Looked satisfying in a way to me.
YEP! In the immortal words of Sigourney Weaver in Galaxy Quest, "Screw that!!" Imagine taking the family out there!
@@markc4050 If I had a family I would!
@@markc4050 your kids would never forgive you. LOL

You're right. A beautiful and fascinating landscape. A living remnant of the prairie before man arrived.
I don't know how he does but I'm glad he does. It gives me a way to escape the city, if on for a few moments. Thanks.
My wife and I love watching your videos. They are true adventures. 👍
love your enthusiasm to the walk, the mud, river, the flora, the views. Thank you for giving all of us the jog of the walk.

16:53.... groovy tunes! haha! Love that you improvised!
The recent rains have definitely greened everything up. It's really beautiful. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Wow. That could go in one of my favorites of your videos. Crossing the river twice to get the footage was true dedication to your viewers.
Wow! What a hike. I would not be able to deal with the muddy swamp area, not knowing what was in the murky depths. You are such an intrepid adventurer!

Omg you are so brave in so many ways!! Thanks for all that you do 🙏🏻🥰

Amazing scenery and hike. The footage of the buffalo on top of the rock formation was amazing. Thanks!
Once again, a great video! All the backtracking you do to set up for your shots is fantastic. Thank you.
Picture Rocks was my favorite area but the last National Park was the coolest getaway or walkabout!
You are one brave guy to cross that mud! River was great but that mud.. sorry but yuck. The rest of the hike was great. I really enjoy your upper Midwest adventures.
I was in Theodore Roosevelt NP (South Unit) in May 2022. I enjoyed it alot. Lots of bison and wild horses and rugged scenery
Love it! I will be in TRNP next month! I definitely do not have it in me to do this hike, but I will be doing a lot of the things you did in your first visit here. Great video, as always!
Thanks Tristan, the bison on the ridge line shot was truly epic. 👌

R.'s Elkhorn Ranch just west of the Park site is also worth a drive and short hike. The foundation stones of his original cabin are visible. Thanks for posting this video! Stay safe!
What’s life without some danger and risk taken? Yeah I woulda turned around haha
I always enjoy your videos. Thanks for bringing us along. 💚
great hike. Beautiful!
If you don't care about staying on the trail, you don't have to cross the swamp and the river.
What a cool hike. I have to admit, I doubt I would go across the mud pit 🤣
Love the videography skill of adding timelapses on the roads you travel from place to place. Beautiful scenery in this video! Thank you.
I worked along the Little Mo west of there in an area of cool buttes. There was ,,literally,, tons of the most uninteresting and probably some of the youngest petrified wood around.

Fantastic!! Thanks for the dedication on this one!
Is it weird that I would be more willing to walk through the river than the tall grass? I've had way too many seed ticks covering my legs before...yes, seed ticks. They're a thing here in Arkansas. Basically, 1,000 teeny-tiny baby ticks are clumped together and when something passes by and touches it/them, they all swarm you and cover you, leaving hundreds of little bites that itch for 2-3 months straight.

Great video and trip. Thanks for visiting these parts of the country.
Very cool hike! Nice hat by the way. A guy where I live was walking in mud like that along the Susquehanna river and sank in and had to be rescued. Good thing he had a phone with him. Again, great video.
We really enjoyed Theodore Roosevelt National Park because we did get to see so much wildlife!~ Great hike Triston!
Wow such gorgeous views and such an inspiring video! It's so lovely! I've done a few of those quagmire crossing myself and lost a couple of water shoes along the way. Definitely will be planning a trip here.
One word, quicksand! What fun! Happy to see you back in the wilderness🤩
Me too!
Your video effort is amazing. Backtracking so we can see you crossing the bog and river?! A+ for your efforts. Does make a much more interesting video.
Loved the whole trip, Tristan. Hope u got your watch clean after the quagmire crossing 😱 That is definitely a beautiful park with tons of things to see & places to go. Looking forward to your next adventure. 👍🏻🙋🏼♀️🦬
Those rocks are so awesome. The mud and water crossings seemed very sketchy...I am not sure 🤔 I would do Those but beautiful scenery.
To see bison roaming free in their historic range is just amazing.
In 1803 a French-Canadian trader named Jean Baptiste LePage descended the Little Missouri River in his dugout canoe. He was at the Mandan villages in the fall of 1804 when Lewis and Clark arrived. They invited him to join the Expedition.

Right??
Completely agree! That was a one in a million opportunity.
New subscriber here from Michigan.

A true nature/animal kingdom video! And you making such sacrifices for your subscribers! We appreciate you!
Loved this video. Places that I will never see at 75 years old. Thank you Tristan!
I really like your attention to the wildlife in this video.
Wow, gorgeous park! I am definitely putting that one on my bucket list!
beautiful views! kool bison and deer. thanks for sharing this with us. i always enjoy your chanel.
The next time you venture eastward to Minnesota or the upper peninsula of Michigan, I'd like to see you spend some time in Isle Royale NP. Never been there myself, though I have circumnavigated Lake Superior, but would love to see it through your eyes as your videography is so engaging.
thanks again for a great video. I have watched many over the last few years and was wondering if you would produce a top 10 from your adventures. thanks chuck
most likely coyote scat or wolf. not sure what's in that area. Loaded with the undigested hair of what they ate.
thanks for another great fun video
Let me scratch that muddy trail off of my bucket list. We appreciate what you go through for our viewing. Stay safe
Those round rocks remind me of Bowling Ball Beach in Mendocino County, California. Thos mud crossings were ridiculous, but this video definitely made me want to visit Theodore Roosevelt NP.
Really fun hike. Thanks for sharing.
I was thinking, "I hope he doesn't film the 2nd river crossing a second time" like you did the 1st. you have chosen wisely!
In the Sierra Nevada I came across poops that looked like coils of rope = cougar poop;
Your example looked more like tall grass stalk remains = Bison Poop?
Once I took a stick and cut still steaming bear poop, lotsa manzanita berries.
I would have turned around at the first mud swamp crossing. Lol.
You are brave. I would never ever have tried to cross the river especially the muck, yuck, great job 👏. I enjoyed the video
Gorgeous countryside! I really appreciate your adventures Tristan!
Thank you again!
Awesome video, your a champ. They really need to do some trail maintenance.
The bison on the ridge top! 🦬❤️🦬🦬
I will not be going on this hike! So thank you for sharing it!
Say the words you really wanted to say when you started crossing and losing your crocs🤣🤣🤣🤣 The scenery was awesome.
Seems like this might be a good area for a packraft hike in-paddle out type adventure. The concretions reminded me a bit of the cracked eggs in the Bisti/De-Na-Zin wilderness
Loved watching your video, thankyou for sharing your awesome adventures.👍
