- Carson and I got out to do some dispersed camping and found an awesome spot in the forest.
I also made a dumb mistake.

I appreciate the “keys” scenario…. It is so easy to be disoriented in the woods… because it all looks the same. We’ve all done similar things! Looks like a great trip, thanks for sharing!
I saw you making your coffee, I'm also a camper, What I do a few days before going camping I get coffee filters (dollar store ) put coffee in a filter, and tie it up with dental floss (no scent). all you have to is boil your water and throw the filter in the water, just like a tea bag, can use them over. I made enough to get me thru the trip works great
I appreciate your comments on keeping the camp area clean! Thanks for the video.
Thank you for picking up other people's trash! I look forward to finding similar camping spaces for me and my boys. Thanks for the video.
2nd tip.. Always aim the front of your vehicle to the way out! If it downpours during the night the last thing you want to do is jocky your truck around in a tight spot. Words of experience
Nice tip. It was fun the last day wiggling out.
True I agree 💯
French press is what you want. It makes the best coffee. It also doesnt take up any more space than your percolator.
I can't wait to get out for a camping trip. I need it mentally. I live just on the edge of the Manistee National Forest and hope to take a camping trip soon with just a couple of 40 year old quads.
I had a french press. A drip is much easier to clean.
@@diann546 Cleaning is the worst part about them, but they sure do make a great cup of coffee.
Put a set of keys in a empty pill bottle tape it up with duct tape and use Paul wire or coat hanger wire it to the wheel well unseen from someone else. Or wired to the frame of the vehicle.
I bet with that metal detector you found a few of the old fashioned pull tabs from beer and soda cans from the 60s and 70s! Lol
All the stuff we love doing, great video!
As a former Girl Scout, I hear your pain on the garbage left behind from inconsiderate campers. Thank you for sharing your experience - truly appreciated the information. Curremt Michigan resident (all my life) - ;love that you live here, too!
I enjoyed watching your camp out.
Thanks for having the courage to share all of the “oops” incidents. Your video was enjoyable and a great intro to dispersed camping. In the end, everyone had fun and got to spend some time outdoors.
Thanks for watching!
We love Michigan!!! So much more to do than here in Indiana! Good to see more people getting their outdoor adventures on UA-cam! Subbed!

Thanks! I am itching to get back out. Might try to winter camp. I don't exactly have the right gear for winter. But what the heck.
Great video! We are heading to Michigan for dispersed camping next month. New friends from Florida :)
Going to be quite a change in temperature for you :) Have fun!!
Funny mistake. I'm sure your kid will always remember these times spent together.
He learned a lesson early! Good time with the boys! Even dad's make mistakes!
Great video guys, Keep up the great work and enjoy our great outdoors like we do.
Thanks! Lacking on new videos but we hope to get some out soon.
We see the same stuff when I’m up there snowmobiling, and always try to take more out than what we brought in.
Thanks for doing your part!
Ahh, the color of that river water made me think you were in the UP. I now see my mistake. That also explains more easily why you were hearing off road vehicles nearby. Yup, we love Michigan!
Bluetti by max oak just did three nights and didn’t even use half the battery. You can charge with solar or AC. P.S. Don’t boil the coffee just let it steep then pour the cold water over the top. Made it by the 5 gal pots before. See you out there!
yes, please hate the liter when we triing to get away from it. Miigwetch for bringing that up. Everyone maybe seeing it, pay more attention, and like you pick it up as much as it sucks...thx for video..excited to do such things with my son...hes almost 2.
Coffee is important. Practice.
I got it now!! :) Thanks for watching
Nice father & son trip. Michigan is The Best...esp. since dispersed camping came about!
where in michigan is this? either I missed it or you didn't tell us? lol I probley missed it
One thousand and one place to hide, and one brain to remember.
About lost mY lunch when I saw the conditions of the campsite on Primal Outdoors. I have an old dianasour just like yours. Never let me down.
Might have to take instant coffee next trip.
We’re is that spot or just a area ur in like what county or road or closest town,i need to find a better spot for me and my boy
Great Video, thanks for sharing! Maybe I missed it but what River were you on?
Hi, liked your video 😊 ever thought about solar for your CPAP? Happy trails.
My battery setup is nice and compact. Never really out more days than my battery can last. I can get easy 3 nights possibly 4 nights of my current set up with no additional power input.
It was part of every troop campout to police the area after camping and before leaving.
It's not the spot where you have a fire that matters, it does a little but a rock fire ring can prevent most of that, what you need to worry about is the embers that float up an get carried off to another spot that's what starts fires more than anything
Awesome video
in this video where is it at . looks like a great place for peace and quite
Get a combination lock box attached to your vehicle, or hide it somewhere ONLY YOU WILL KNOW.
OR INSIDE YOIR UNLOCKED VEHICLE.
Hey. Wondering where (approximately) this is? I'm a fellow Michigander and beginning car/dispersed camper myself. Love the location and the video. God bless!
This was in the Roscommon State Forest Area along the Muskegon river
The Muskegon River is beautiful. Check out Baxter Bridge SFC next time and kayak downriver
@@pete8018 planning a kayak trip or two this year. Hope to disperse camp out of kayak/canoe
Funny...I was just eyeballing that area last night for camping.
@@cjoutdooradventures4896 I didn't know dispersed camping was allowed next to lakes and rivers in Michigan.
rule of thumb : 1rounded tablespoon per cup
I'm with you: no trace camping is the onlyway to go. carson just got a thumbs up and i understand light sleep nights... its usually animals that keep me reawakening
If you're going two tracking I strongly recommend a damn good 12000 lbs winch! It will cost you a FORTUNE to get pulled out by a commercial tow truck.
Adding that this spring! Especially because a lot of times I won't be with anyone else. Need all the tools to help me out.
Im new to dispered camping in Michigan. What did you mean when you said the rules are kind of grey when you were talking about driving down to the river?
I wasn't sure because of a few reasons.
1. the "Marked" road on the motor vehicle use map didn't actually follow that road down the hill. So technically was it a "Road" and the state rule says you can't travel more that 20' or 50 ' (forget as one is state one is national) from the "Traveled Road". Well, it isn't a "Marked road"... but it was a "Traveled Road". Either way, I wasn't blazing my own trail so I felt fine.
2. There are set backs for certain water areas to camp at. After looking more into the laws, I think I was safe. The state rules don't say anything about the set back. And only certain areas like long larger rivers are marked for set back or marked no camping.
Thanks for the response. I was pretty sure that's what you were talking about. Just thought I'd ask. I think is 50' on state land.
Here's a camping trick I learned in the girl scouts many many years ago. Before you put a pot on the campfire, etc. Place a little dish soap right on the pan or (in your case) cowboy coffee bottom of the metal cup and smear it around the bottom and up the side aways. Then when you are finished cooking and the pot has cooled simply wipe the bottom and sides off with a paper towel and you have a clean not blacked pan. Thanks injoyed your video of my home state.
Great tip!
If you are going camping or trail riding pack out what you pack in don't leave leave a mess for the next group
We always do and try to pick up the items other campers left behind.
Great video! Are you near Oakland county?
Nope. Home base is in West Michigan near GR
You didn’t use enough cold water.etc. Check Kent Rollins video on cowboy coffee.
Hey your biggest mistakes are your son's favorite memories. Trust me.
They never let me live it down :) anytime we go out now... They remind me what not to do :)
Never done the dispersed camping in mi is there a good map for forest roads or just go and find a spot?
Watch my video "Finding Camp in Michigan" I list a lot of the resources I use in that videos description, including the Forest road maps.
C&J Outdoor Adventures awesome thank you
Get yourself a GSI javapress, it works great
Yeah I know, was just trying something new. The percolator we have works, just gotta try new things sometimes... and fail while doing it :) Thanks for watching!
I own an acre in the UP that I live on. Feels damn good.
Jealous :)
I too, own an acre in the UP. I love it up there, but sadly, was born a troll. I try to get there as often as I can. Was waiting for you to mention what river you were on. There are endless beautiful places in the UP. I’m guessing your worry about your spot there becoming overrun was unnecessary. Thank you so much for picking up the piggy’s trash; I do the same.
Hilarious about burying your keys!
I felt like such a dummy!
Im looking to do a trip soon any chance you could share what river that is?
Roscommon area along the Muskegon river.
Cool, thats kinda what i was thinking. Ive spent time outside of Harrison on tge Muskegon river. Thanks for the response
#1 rule for any car....keep a spare key under the car somewhere in one of those magnetic boxes. Saved me too many times to admit over the years.
I like to learn lessons the hard way. :)
Where is this location? I live in Michigan and would like to do this kind of camping
Roscommon state forest area.
Thanks bud.
Use bear spray it's really effective for animals in camp
I live in mi.....me and my girl n dog go looking for new spots allover, would you message me privately amd share this location exactly...thats your spot,i would ruin that,just wanna visit once....
17:34, is that a Mora knife
Yup. Just a basic carbon steel one. I think I paid like $50 bucks or so.
Have you been to buttercup, up towards Mio?
We were just up in the Mio area and camped along the AuSable river two week ago! Great area. Looking to get back this fall for a canoe trip.
@@cjoutdooradventures4896 Good stuff! I found it today and its a nice spot where you walk maybe 5 minutes through vegetation (thats beat down) to river. I think you and your boy would like it.
You gotta post more videos, your content you have done, is pretty darn good!
Happy and safe trails!
@@2873lonewolf Thanks lonewolf. I always go out with the intent of recording. Then I get lost in the adventure and struggle to remember to set up the camera.
@@cjoutdooradventures4896 I hear you, the dad life is real. I subscribed and look forward to your content, when you can find the time...lol
I'll be at that location Oct 1st for sure. If you are around the area, swing by for some coffee. Can't miss me, I'll be the only one with a hairless cat with me...lol
Where are you?
It was the Roscommon state forest area.
C&J Outdoor Adventures thank you! I know you didn’t want to give that spot up, but probably won’t find it. Lol. I’m new to this whole thing. Finally going to start it this year. I can’t wait.
@@mikefesta8349 not really an issue sharing... But venturing out and finding places is all part of the fun. :) Good luck. Hope to share a lot more this summer.
you like a little coffee with your cream?
🤣 I see a company is now making a "coffee-flavored creamer". Maybe I should just get that.
Класс, просто рай
Oh my God you're awake and bake okay we know what happened now 😂
yup that was dumb
We all have our moments :)
@@cjoutdooradventures4896 indeed
Saw it right off. ( From Jerimiah Johnson movie.) Not enough coffee grounds. Triple that amount. I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'.
Yeah. I wussing out on the amount.
Can you shoot guns there?
If it’s state land you can
Would like to have stayed and watched but the loud banging music was too much unpleasant noise.
Was enjoying your video UNTIL you used the word retarded. That isn't a nice word to use. As a special ed teacher I take offense to it. As so do many other people with intellectual disabilities. Please in the future think of another word. #BantheRword.
Love dispersed camping. Shared a subscribe with you and hit that like button. Look forward to watching more content.
where is this place
Middle of Michigan's lower peninsula
@@cjoutdooradventures4896 got it 👍
