  • Being out on the road has it's share of excitement and this time we're sure we had a bear prowling near our camp! Also, motorcycles and, in this case, dirt bikes are a whole lot of fun and our friend, Dawn, and her boyfriend , Kyle tell us about theirs, a Yamaha 250 WRF and a Honda 250 CRF. What camping equipment is working for us and what things aren't? We share some of that too!

    Getting out on the road is what Linda and I love to do with our converted cargo trailer camper. We're part time nomads and the nomadic lifestyle suits us to a Tee. Whether your RV is a camper van, camp trailer, travel trailer, motorhome or just a car and a tent, there's going to be something interesting for you in the videos we produce. Back roads and overlanding are part of what we do while exploring the western states for beautiful, peaceful and sometimes remote places to camp on BLM and National Forest land (public land). Taking care of ourselves as much as possible and doing our own repairs is a must because we travel on a fixed income and a limited budget. If your into being off-grid and boondocking, or doing dispersed camping whenever possible then you'll appreciate the discussions on batteries, solar panels and solar chargers or power stations and 12v refrigeration. Come on along, we're happy to have your company!

    Hi Rick, Hello Linda. Gee, this episode is quite Soothing. A tad different and really enjoyable. The 'Stillness' about the forrest and the wildlife is perfect. Bears or not, I'm at home in the 'Out of Doors'. A funny thought: while watching you Both Wherever you might be, I 'picture you all' actually 'being there' when in Fact you are Hundreds of miles away. Kind of Funny, kind of an Altered State. Rick, your Videos bring a Calming Effect into my body. Even if I'm in a similar type of location. The Chronicles being made with each step of your journey is a History Show in the Making. You both seem So Relaxed while having your wheels fixed, goes to show you 'Love the Journey' no matter what. It's Good to Travel-Along with you Guys. Thanks. (I'll bet you are Glad to spend some time back at the ranch??)

    I lived in Colorado at 10000 ft for about 25 years. I also flew a 172 Cesena up to 14500 one time without oxygen to get over some mountains. I figured I was pretty acclimated since I lived at 10,000 ft. I won't do that again. :) Little tip for bears. Carry a squirt bottle of ammonia. Spray it around the perimeter and keep the doughnuts away. Hard sided trailer won't do any good if a bear wants in. I've seen them stick there claws through a steel door and rip it to shreds. Ammonia works wonders.

    The terminology for people that ride bikes and motorcycles in bear country is 'Meals on Wheels'.
    Bear in the daylight are way better than in the dark. I walked around a tree at my cabin in CO (11,870 ft) right at dusk and was facing a 300-350 lb boar at 25 yds. I had switched out my 45 Colt with bear loads for my 1911 with lead rd nose earlier so was a little under-gunned. So what did I do....I got out my phone and took pics. Ha! I woofed a few times and stomped my feet but it only stared at me. It did go behind a tree and stood there staring at me. A hungry boar can be worse than a sow with cubs. Eventually, it moved off.
    By the way Linda cows moo, they don't whistle.

The only additional protection a hard sided camper gives is an additional time to react and arm/defend yourself. That in itself is priceless. It may discourage a nosy curious bear but not a hungry determined one.

    Good Video. We camped all over the north east two years ago . Was Black bear almost everywhere we went that year! Some people use a boat air horn to drive them back into the forest. Seems to work well. May not work with a grizzly? Thanks for sharing the camp gadgets ! 👍

    One time while traveling through Colorado I experienced the high altitude brain fog and then when taking my oxygen stats realized I was having trouble breathing. My O2 went down to 84 and a doctor friend recommended getting down fast to under 6000. At our age it can be dangerous.

    • @gonagain
      @gonagain  3 роки тому

      That's true Megs. I learned that to acclimate didn't mean that your body gets used to less oxygen, it means that your breathing rate increases naturally over a period of days. Makes sense.

      My dad and his brothers and his dad were deer hunting at about 10000 ft in Colorado. One of his brothers had a heart condition, and his doctor told him not to go above 6000 ft. He didn't listen. He died in my dad's arms on the way to the hospital after suffering a heart attack. He was 44 years old.

Honda makes the best motors ... sounds like we both have made same choices when it comes to Vehicles and Motorcycles ... based on good mechanical sense ..
