Blow Down in the Wind River Mountains
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 сер 2021
- A massive wind storm during Labor Day of 2020 in the Wind River Range cause unbelievable damage to the mountain that will be seen for years to come. The trail system was clogged with down trees and piled high as much as 15 to 20 feet. I spent a week with the back County Horsemen checking trails and removing down timber. Trails we checked on horse back were Scab creek trail, Elk Heart Trail and Burnt lake Trail

Absolutely Beautiful. Wish I were there.
I am glad you enjoyed it i amheading back this summer
That is an amazing amount of blowdown!!. A lot of firewood and lumber in those logs.. beautiful scenery
I just love watching these videos!!!
I always get to see such great scenery and always feel so much more calm, after watching them.
The best content on UA-cam for sure!!!!
Thanks, for taking us along on your trail rides.
thanks for your comment
I really enjoy your videos, you do a great job! I appreciate just hearing the horses footsteps and the sounds of nature!
Thanks
Thank you very much for sharing this. Takes me back to my childhood. Would love to join you on one of these outings lol. Again thank you for the video.
Thank you
Know that country well. Been a few years since I’ve been there so great to see the videos.
Will be really devastating when a fire gets going in all that downfall/blowdown.
That's what the USFS WANTS....Forest Fire is a money maker for em.Been dealing with them for years
Another great video. I'm sure it's not the easiest thing to video while riding. I don't even do it much while hiking because it's such a pain. If I had one request in regards to your videos....it would be that you make more of them. They are a joy to watch! Thanks for sharin!
Nice to see some of those places. Worked for Forest Service in summers above Boulder, Fremont and Upper Green River Lakes. Backpacked, photographed and did graduate research on 8 lakes above !0k FASL. Bridger is still Heaven.
WOW You had it great your right Bridger is still Heaven
Watch my latest video Headwaters of the Yellowstone River
Great video. I didn’t realize that storm did so much damage
Well, I certainly enjoy seeing the wilderness and watch you picking your way throw the trails. I know I will never go there but I love to watch them.
Right on! Glad you enjoyed it
Your videos are wonderful, so relaxing and informative! You fellows know your history of the mountain areas and are a pleasure to watch on your trails! Thankyou.
Our pleasure!
Is really sad to see so much down timber, looks like a horrible future forest fire. I would guess that most of the timber is never going to be up for salvage. Thanks for a great video!
no its down and will rot there
Thanks Back Country Horseman everywhere! Y’all do a great job.
Yes they do
Thanks for another great video!
Great job and service for everyone. Thank you!
Our pleasure!
Another great video
Thank you! Never imagined a blow down like that in the backcountry! Glad not to have been there~
Me neither The rocky Mountains are full of blow downs
Love these videos! That looks like work!
yes it is but fun
@@cowdogflicks I'm trying to train my donkeys to pack. Hopefully make some pack trips this summer
Love to watch this. This must be really tough going when it comes to the hooves of the horses, you've probably have a medical kit for that with you. And I wonder if you're armed to deal with mountain lion- and bear attacks...
I am glad you enjoyed it we do carry a rife sometimes
It's not a disaster, it's nature. First time I've ever heard the "Forest Circus" get complimented by locals. ☺
sometimes
Loving your videos. Can almost smell the trees
The Yellowstone fires were in 1988 fyi. You say 1986.
Yes you are right 1988 thanks for watching
Your videos are amazing, love the trails you ride and getting to follow along on your adventures. However, if possible, please edit your sound to even out in volume better. Your voice is soft I have to turn the volume on boost but the next second you have a bird screeching and it's deafening. Your camera angles are perfect, very very nice. Love what you and your friends do. Thank you.
Noted! i have worked on that problem watch the latest video and let me know if i have improved

traumhaft schöne landschaft,,,aber mühsam sich da einen weg zu bahnen...mit dem vielen holz, könnte man ganz deutschland versorgen...
glad you enjoyed it
It's interesting that the Lowline Trail on the southern boundary of the Bridger Wilderness west and east of Poston Lake has not been cleared yet after that wind storm. It's impassible. We thought it was maybe to keep the cows to the west.
yes most of the lowline trail in the wind rivers are impassible Back country horsemen have been trying to clear let me know if you want to help
@@cowdogflicks Oh I thought the USFS took care of some of them.
At 3:55 what saddle rig is that. I've experimented w/ lots of bareback rigs and would like the lowdown on that please. On closer inspection I see it's a saddle. Great Vid!
ThT IS A Australian saddle. Floyd likes it
Watching the World News the other night, they said "200 million tree's have been lost in Northern CA. That seemed high to me but after seeing your video it might be correct. Extremely sad but mother nature can be brutal.
Yes she can thanks for watching
I am just wondering if the forest service has any plans to remove all of the blow down to prevent it from becoming fuel for forest fires???....
They try where they can thats why groups like the Back Country Horsemen help
It's very dangerus if the fires will come in these plaise
Does Scab Creek go to Pus Lake?
Yes you can get there
Dalam video ini kita melihat banyak sekali pohon2 yang tumbang,apakah pohon2 itu sengaja ditebang atau dirusak dan apa kepentingan dari orang yang merusak pohon pohon tersebut....
thanks
Friends of mine got busted for running an electric chainsaw in Wilderness area during elk hunting...just goes to show how much the USFS gives a shit
I hear a electric battery chain saw does not make much sound
