    What I most like about your channel, is that you take as along less traveled destinations. Thank you for your content. For some of us it's healing and for other's, ideas for our own destination stops. Thank you Tristan.

    Good trip. Cows are incredibly curious they are not just dumb steaks on hoofs.

    You, Sir, are a true HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER ! That landscape is beyond AWESOME. Thank you for including drone footage that makes one feel like a Raven gliding over the earth below...Surely won`t make that climb in this life; only the young, strong & experienced 'Mountain Goats,' as yourself, should entertain it. Thank You, Tristan, for another AMAZING vicarious share ! New Mexico is aptly named: LAND OF ENCHANTMENT.

    A couple of thoughts…as for the cattle, they are probably accustomed to gathering like that when they hear the farmer’s vehicle drive up & they think there is some kind of food about to be served. As for your camera work on the ascent…it reminded me of when I used to do “vertical” rock rescue years ago in Appalachians. We had a team member (we nicknamed “Camera Man ONE”, who did video of our training that we could use in classroom settings, critiques, etc. When he would rappel down to where the “casualty” was dangling, he’d sling his camera over his shoulder and keep it running. That made for out of control film, as the camera flipped and flopped back and forth during his descent. When folks would try to watch those segments, there was a fair amount of motion sickness that would develop…we sure had a few laughs during our training critiques. Another great episode!

    Like with the missing register that needs replacing on this one, at some point i hope you take on the mission of using your excellent fitness to give back to these places, by helping maintain them for future climbers. I learned to do the same and found how these causes really need our help. Most are not capable, but we few we are. Given your skills i recommend SAR for the county you live in but even the little things like rebuilding a rock shelter or replacing a missing register, will teach others a far bigger lesson beyond bagging peaks(as entertaining as that is). Thanks for your consideration Tristan and others watching who are able.

    Back in 2016, on my way to experience the eclipse, I dispersed camped in the Praire Grasslands NE of Ft Collins and I had a lone cow that was curious of me and just hung out. I have some awesome photos of him/her. The stark beauty of rugged places with expansive views and cloudscapes are a delight.

    I've visited numerous "ruins" and I'm in constant admiration. The tenacity of these "First Peoples" was second to none in human history, not to mention their ability to thrive in inhospitable places. Forget the pyramids, we have an abundance of “wonders” in our own country, which would take a lifetime to explore, and still not be able to see them all. As usual, great video, thanks and be safe.

  • @lindacondray7918
    @lindacondray7918 Рік тому +1

    Well you answered one question. I often wondered if you were using your drone camera for getting some of the really far off walking shots. Not the ones obviously from the air. But wondered if they now made drone cameras mounted where the drone could be sitting on the ground and take the shot, then you fly it back to you. Instead of having to hike back and forth. That would be a big help to cut down on the hiking back and forth.

  • @markpashia7067
    @markpashia7067 Рік тому +1

    The only time those cattle see a vehicle is likely when a rancher brings food or such, thus they are waiting for you to give them a treat. Not sure what that would be but they are habituated to come to the vehicles for something. Maybe check the brand when this happens and track down the owner of the brand if you get curious. So much of our public lands are free range areas. I was in Aztec, NM about six years ago and it is sure different out there. Actually went fishing in the reservoir in Farmington.

    The "junk" in the ammo box are actually geocache "treasures." Geocachers use clues and/or gps coordinates to find geocaches (often in ammo boxes), and then "leave a treasure and take a treasure."

    Hi Tristan. Discovered your channel about a month ago while looking for videos about Arches NP. Didn’t take long to get hooked and since I’ve been watching 2-5 videos a day. I live in Rapid City South Dakota so was cool to see your videos from the Black Hills and Badlands. I visited Utah for the first time two years ago and it was like nothing I had ever seen before, absolutely can’t wait to get back. In one of your videos you had mentioned your hiking guide to Arches and I ordered that and it came about a week and a half ago. Anyway just wanted to let you know how much I’m enjoying your adventures and the endless amazing places you visit.

Really good views heading to Bernalillo to head out on our daily explorations. NM 279 off US 550 gave incredible views of that knob. If you are still in the area go to Pecos and drive up the Pecos river valley….I think you can make it to the headwaters…look on your benchmark. That was one of the most beautiful drives we have ever experienced. Cows are so nosey.

    I don't know what to call the music you choose, but I really enjoy it. I would call it folk-jazz or something.

    That weather reminded me of hiking earlier this year in Lava Monument National Park in Bend, Oregon.
    I was headed up the huge cinder cone when it began to rain, then hail, then snow.....but i gave up and headed back down.
    Thanks for making it through the knarly weather and giving us some fantastic views.
    Im heading back to Utah next week to visit the Pando Forest and dry camp a bit.
    Carry on fellow explorer and thanks again.
