Stealth Camping In Montana With Some New Gear
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- Finding a secluded place to camp near an urban area isn't easy, but this place served me well. Montana can be tricky this time of year, with the weather being warm on one day and snowy the next, but I lucked out and got in a nice camping trip along the Missouri River. Camping is all about the gear and in this video I try out some equipment that's new to me.
The gear I used in this video:

Nice, rugged, remote, and still have a beer and a smoke. Gotta have a plan.
Thank you Rick! Beautiful scenery and peaceful! Not boring at all!
Never boring Rick! There is nothing better in life than doing exactly what you cover in this video! I thoroughly enjoyed it. See ya next adventure! OH, I really laughed when you zipped the tent up, and the goose sounded off 😂.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Your night shots with the sounds of frogs and crickets got me super excited for the official start of camping season. Your Chanel also inspired me to do my own 6x12’ cargo to camper build can’t wait to break the champagne against the bow and take it out in May.
Rick, you are one of the few UA-camrs camping from your ebike. Great show and good info. Thanks for being a creative creator. 😊
Thanks 👍, appreciate hearing that.
Thanks for taking us along for night of tent camping
Thanks for coming along!
Thanks for sharing. Enjoy the weather while you can.
I like this! Thank you for the interesting history as well!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Terrific Video about E-bike Camping! What fun you have... Really loved the Tent as well. Way to take advantage of the Spring-like weather before the next flurries arrive!
Really enjoyed this one Rick, digging the new tent and might pick one up myself for ebike/hunting trips. Hope you and Linda are well. Cheers ~Dana
I loved this trip. I hope one of your granddaughters can go with you soon. Plus of course Linda is back soon too. Praying ll goes well for her and her eye issues. BTW, my wife and I are impressed with the fantastic views and your camera quality. Godspeed, have a great weekend.
Very enjoyable, thanks for taking us along.
Thank you for sharing your adventure, Rick ❤ missed seeing Linda on this trip, but still so much fun to listen to you and enjoy the beauty of nature. ❤ btw... have you tried 4Patriots prep food yet? They are really good, as well. ❤ safe travels 🙏 ❤️
That's what I really call stealth camping in Montana especially
where you are at and i really liked the bike. this is another awesome
video of your great camping trips and travels around the country
have a wonderful weekend and thank you.🇺🇲🤠🤠🇺🇲
Glad you enjoyed it! Have a great weekend, get out and have some fun.
Wow, what an awesome spot. Really enjoyed the commentary about the Missouri, you testing equipment, not to mention the scenery. Hopefully we have some pleasant weather here next to Lake Erie soon. Hope Linda's medical issues are resolved. As always, looking forward to your next video. Be well.
what a pleasant nook to camp in and to be with nature is tops, maybe a little trailer added to haul more beer, miss our shoestring
Yeah, I think of him every day myself too.
Love Mountain House meals. You're right! They're not cheap, but they really are good!!
Really enjoyed this and the little history lesson as well👍
Enjoyed the view.
Enjoyed the trip, Rick! Always appreciate your opinions on the gear that you use. I've got to look for one of those tents. Looks ideal for some backcountry overnight flyfishing adventures.
Thanks for sharing your home territory with us. We are blessed to have good friends who have ranched for generations in that area. We used to help them on the fall gather pushing cows down off Square Butte through the breaks to the home ranch. Some of the best days of my life and "Beautiful" doesn't begin to describe that country! Hello to Linda!
Jim & Karen
Thanks for watching! Linda's father was a paniolo (Hawaiian for cowboy). She and her cousins grew up pushing cattle out of the mountains of east Molokai but she was usually on foot. Fun times.
Thanks 🙏🏼 nice sharing 😊
Just a nice relaxing video. I too have low sodium at times, primarily due to the large amount of water I drink each day. So, I add salt to my diet. Agree, the Chili Mac and Chicken and Dumplings are actually pretty good.
This was a perfect start for my day. Beautiful all the way ❤
Nice video, I enjoyed it. Nice seeing NO snow there
Fun times nice tent 🏕
I was amazed how much stuff you piled onto your “packhorse.”
Beautiful scenery!😊
Good video Rick. Say Hi to Linda, can't wait until she is back with us.
Pretty soon. :o)
Thanks for the great info again Rick! Great to get out like that, eh? BTW, thanks for sending all that Montana wind our way this week!!!
Keith
Sorry about that!
I loved this video, from the intro music to the hike out from camp. Not boring...history lessons, cuisine critique, scenery, tan pouch essential tool. That tiny stove looks like a good deal, even if the piezo system gave out--why you always have multiple ways to start fires, right? I especially loved that even if Linda wasn't there in person, she was in your thoughts.
Good outing ❤❤
Good adventure Rick, good that you can get out and have some time alone to just relax and ponder. I am one week away from finally putting my railcar on the tracks. About 28 of us are going to Warden Washington and going to Set on Friday the 26th and spend Saturday and Sundy riding the rails. I have an empty seat if you would like to come along.
That's such a nice offer! I can't make it, Ken, but thank you! Send us some photos to gonagain21@gmail.com
@@gonagain Will see what happens, If I get's some vedio I would like to send to you so you can do a follow up video. If you are intrested we can figure out the details then. Possibly mail a thumb drive to you with video on it. Will see what happens. All the best.
16:30 That "specialty burger place" you mentioned is really good! They're at 2319 10th Ave S, Great Falls, MT if anyone's curious. (Pretty convenient if you happen to be going to the Verizon store, next door.)
Cool Stuff. I sit on a office chair in a shower tent for outside computer work. The windows in the "sports tent" are the cats meow.
Stretch cargo netting might be a useful addition to your bungee cords.
If you'll be doing much solo camping, maybe consider a small, hardy dog such as Foresty Forest's Rocco?
Enjoyed!
Thank you!
I have seen folks buy the freeze dried foods and make their own meals from it they buy chicken or beef or eggs or pork and different vegetables and mix up their own meals to pack in their kit and rehydrate the same as the mountain house, Thrive Life comes to mind or Emergency Essentials is another brand all good stuff.
Its already been in the 80's here in Texas but pretty nice compared to August
The only thing that the commercial freeze dried meals have going for them is the convenience of not have to wash any pots afterward, but they are way too expensive for sure. I just ordered 1qt. mylar baggie's so that I can make my own quick meals. Your comment gave me the idea of looking for those bags!
Awesome job Rick, Steve Wallis would be so proud if he saw this.
Thanks!
Thank you, MIles!
Like Lewis and Clark, you had to do some, portaging too.
Beautiful!
Good morning from Barren County, Kentucky Rick,
Nice video. That little e-bike seems to handle the terrain with easy, and climbs hills very good too.
Pretty nice tent. I really enjoyed this video, I love checking out what camping gadgets other people are using.
I rarely ever touch a salt shaker. No special reason why, I just hardly ever use it.
Thanks for sharing this video.
JT
Thanks, JT. Hope you and the boss are enjoying the weekend, it's a beautiful day here. Finally.
@@gonagain
The Boss? She's not my boss! ( okay, don't tell her I said that. 🤕)
Love this channel!
Thank you!
Really enjoyed the video and loved your camping spot. Too bad about the stove lighter but its not unusual. Thanks for sharing .
I actually fixed the stove. The thick red paint was making it so that the piezo electric igniter wouldn't ground properly.
Just what I needed, another new video from gonagain. Always a bright spot in my week. BTW in case you haven't seen it, there's a new family video update about Shoestring. Would love an e bike but I'm like Linda--fall off or at best dizzy when riding.
We are going to try to make it to Britt, IA for his memorial this August. Some people aren't able to ride bikes and it's because of their inner ear, like Linda.
Thank you. Will you be filming if allowed? Would love to go but CT is a long way from IA and funds are low as I have been living off my savings due to a medical issue. Been cross country years back and always planned to do it again but life happened.
Another great video thank you so much.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching.
Was that a seegar? Looked like your cargo ebike pulled all those hills. Definitely a nice personal adventure for you, and those dehydrated meals, the only thing missing was a tablecloth and candlelight, perhaps a singing waiter for the lasagne. Good show Rick, take care and best wishes to all...
I'll be expecting the candlelight and wait service when I come over to your place for dinner!
@@gonagain You've got it!
you can put something under the feet of your chair to stop from sinking, a small disk from plywood or even a flattened aluminum soda can smashed flat by stepping on it a beer can works too, or I bet a lid cut from the top of a can of vegetables or soup or if you took a can of soup camping the can would work just stick the foot of the chair inside the can or a rock but the problem there is finding four rocks that match , if you cut a small disc or flattened can etc can be packed with your chair and reused each time, we used the flat cans under the kickstand on our motorcycles because even on asphalt a heavy bike can sink in and turn over at least on a hot August day here in Texas that can happen as the asphalt can get soft if gets hot enough especially in a parking lot , does not happen on an matured road but a parking lot it has happened to me so I carried a smashed beer can for that reason
That tent would be good to trek way back in, camp overnite, overlooking a basin, wait for game to come out, and shoot right from your bed.
How tall is that tent? Can't do low ceiling as I have difficulty with knees. I have an airbed that's 20" or so I sleep on. Also, how long?
@@GraceCook-g1l You should post this comment as a stand-alone comment. Rick may not notice under mine.
You can't sit up comfortably in the tent, especially if you have an airbed to sleep on. It's about 7.5ft long.
Thanks, Jim. I do a lot of the comments so I got this one! ~~Linda
Thanks for response.
Sweet views, another top notch video! Hope family gets better soon, thanks for getting us out and about in the great outdoors again!
Hope your granddaughter is better. I like the little stove, did you find the problem? I can't stand most of the camp foods, but keep some for emergencies. I like PEAK camp food. I think I am too old for those kid military tents,🤣 I need some standing room but my van is even better. My Dad smoked cigars when fishing to keep the mosquitoes away and it seemed to work along with a pint of whiskey to keep warm. Have fun, Mike in Oregon.
Your dad was a smart man! When I got home I fixed the piezo so it works now.
@@gonagain When my Dad was still living in Texas born in 1921 and moved to California in 1958 he was a Farmer and rancher, he said in the Texas panhandle you fix it, build it or it doesn't get done. He and one of my mother's 8-bothers built a six-foot-tall fence around her brother's 2000-acre Texas ranch out of used oil drilling pipe and welded it all together around the entire property. I remember seeing it as a boy and finding out what it felt like to touch the electric fence that was behind it, lol. When standing on the dirt road looking at the fence you could not see the end of it. It was like the earth curved before you could see the last poll.
On my mother's side of the family, they had Bonnie and Clyde stay with them for a while. Because of the depression, people didn't like the banks so they supported what they did and at the time didn't believe the law about the murders. I know many stories about them.
Camping with only a fabric tent for cover at such a wilderness area seems dangerous, considering the size of the bears that are also attracted to watering sites! I suspect I would not sleep a wink!
That is a factor to consider. Lately, the grizzly bears have been making their way back out onto the plains of Montana.
Nice video. Hopefully the weather is nice up there in June. I plan on doing a motorcycle trip from South Texas to Montana and back.
I hope the weather cooperates with you. It's usually nice in June but Montana's weather is never boring; it changes from hour to hour! Give us a shout when you're in MT.
Looks like fun except at my age, sleeping on the ground with a tent. Good for you still doing that.
Thank you!
What drush406 said! Since there was no trailer involved in this episode I thought I might not like it as much as I do the others... but, boy was I wrong. I was compelled to watch the whole thing and I enjoyed it far more than I thought I would. In fact, several times I just broke into a smile...
Tell you what, too, even though I'll have 300 amp hours of AGM and 1500W (12.5A) of inverter power installed in the trailer, I'm looking forward to using my little OUPES Exodus 600 to power a little rice cooker I saw, and a neat little electric skillet... to whip up some Spam-N-eggs! for breakfast first time out camping in my trailer. Should be a few more weeks. Running power forward to the head of the bunk area (120V, 12V and the control wiring loom for a Webasto AirTop 2000 STC D)... and though the galley isn't yet complete with the bunk roughed in it'll finally be campable! I did use the trailer last month as a tool hauler to get up to visit family and completed a 700-mile round trip with it. Nothing fell off! Safe travels to you. Thanks again for your efforts in bringing us these great videos.
Nothing fell off? You did a great job! Thanks for watching our videos.
Pushing 60K subscribers - nice.
Boy, that bike looks just right. Can you keep us posted on your experiences with it? I have no idea where I'd put it - I travel with a Tacoma pickup with a Four Wheel camper in the bed - space is LIMITED!
Right, space is limited for us too but more so for you.
cool ebike！
Hi Rick, I just wanted to tell you how much I liked this video and all of them! I have an e-bike similar to yours and set up like yours also. I would love to be doing what you are doing but I need someone to do things with. I don’t enjoy doing things alone. Why don’t you take a ride to Maine and I’ll go camping with you on our bikes. Talk to you later.
I'd love that.
In a past video you talked about what you thought may have been a Bigfoot encounter you had. I can't find that video. Could you put a link or the title of that video for me? Thanks.
I think the only time that I mentioned Bigfoot in one of my videos was when telling about a film that I had watched back in 1970 or so that was about a man who lived in a cabin in the mountains. It was a documentary and it showed how he had taken in a female Bigfoot and her baby. The film was clear (no Bigfoot camera lens!) and it showed her features in good detail. She looked like a cross between a human and an ape. I saw it on one of Seattle's tv stations at the time and have never been able to find it since, even though I've looked for it often.
Good video, was the area once forested? not many tree's for cabin building.
Yes, at one time the river was lined with cottonwoods. Most of them were cut down to fuel the steam powered paddlewheelers.
Always enjoy your camping along the Missouri??
Have you and Linda?Ever thought about getting one of those home freeze dryers
We haven't thought about getting one of those, mostly due to the cost. We've had many folks suggest we do that, so maybe we'll look at them again.
Rick what are the dimensions of the tent. Can't do crawl as the knees don't work right. Reposting this q per suggestion of jimv661. I use approximately a 20" airbed so I'm off the ground.
I think the tent is about 36" wide by 90" long by about 36" tall (on the inside) and it weighs just over 6lbs.
Gloves! Trust me! Cycling gloves save your wrists as well as scraped palms.
You know why I don't wear them? I can't operate the cameras with them on, but I do wear them when I'm just out riding for fun. Thanks for watching, Trish!
You need a fishing pole for some fresh meat.
Charging your pistol too?
I did on another trip.
Those Mountain House meals are getting kinda pricey, these daze.
There's a channel that specializes in videos of lightweight and inexpensive meals that you put together yourself that I think is interesting. But with freeze dried meals like this we're paying for the convenience I guess. The only thing I had to clean was my spoon.
@@gonagain Thanks, I’ll check it out. “Clean the spoon,” eh, I bet you got that part, licked.
Hello Rick it's me again. Don't worry I am just doing bills and saw you posted and wanted to say I have been watching you for a few years now and I have always pictured you riding off into the sunset at the end of your bike video's or in your truck pulling your trailer. How come you have never done that? It could be just me but when I think of Montana I think of the old west with the hero riding off into the sunset. Any way I will be watching this video again I just wanted to ask that before I had to go lay down my back still isn't doing that great but they are working on it. You all take care and stay safe.
Den!!! We've missed you! Riding off into the sunset might make for a great ending clip. I'll keep it in mind while I look for the opportunity.
If u a camper by heart & u live in warm place , would u move from it ? 💝🏕
I did some mountain biking yesterday and the days of Spring are getting better. Good to see you out on your e-bike! I was out on I15 today and saw some trailers headed north back to Montana and Canada so Spring is in full swing. Take care and enjoy those warm days! 😎
Looks like a very suitable tent! Sad your granddaughter isn't feeling well and hope she feels better soon. Thanks for showing us the things you take along. Michelle
Looks like a nice place Rick and the Ebike held quite a lot of gear. Prayers for your grand daughter to feal better soon. ❌⭕, Iris and Little One 👋🐾
Hi Rick. Gee, what a Groovy overnighter. And the perfect spot too. Amazing how much gear you trekked in on your e-bike. Never a dull moment, you Always Deliver. Soon, the Desert Awaits. Say hello to Linda & hoping your granddaughter perks up ok. Great Footage, and Where are you getting all this energy from??? Vincenzo here.
I'm slowly running out of energy! But I'm going to go out kicking and screaming.
@gonagain Funny Rick, you and me both. Currently I'm stealing energy from my over-active imagination and the desire to turn back the hands of time. Plus, anywhere else I can cop a batch of pure honest energy from vitamins and good food and a solid night's sleep. All too often, we never get enough of any of these necessary things, but I'm Not Giving Up. Looks like we are on the same team. 👊
I would love to do a river trip!
Well that was fun and goes to prove that the joy of camping doesn't have to be expensive or far away.
Exactly!!!!!
I enjoyed the video. I learn something every time I watch your videos. Thanks for sharing.
hope to be doing some boondocking this yr..but, right now, I'm busy with my barndominium.. wiring and plumbing it up right now..
Nothing boring here. Thanks for the awesome content. 🌄❤
Nicely done as always! 🙂🙂 😛
We always enjoy amping with Gonagin!
Good job sir! Get those babies healthy👍😇
Thanks Rick! That was nice.
No more tents for me with out instant up
Those are handy!
So many cool little mountain ranges out west. I was looking at a couple in Wyoming. The one south east of Casper looks secluded and kind of like the Black Hills. We could spend every summer out there just meandering around. Next time bring a collapsible fishing rod and some spoons, spinners or crank baits and try your luck on some of your trips. It would be really interesting to see what you catch!
Looks like a lot of fun Rick. Thanks for taking us along.
awesome !!.. thanks rick..
Nice little trip! Great to use the e bike like this. Wish I still had knees...
You and me both! An ebike takes the pressure off and makes it so that I can still ride.
Great video Rick. A canoe trip might be what Linda 's foot needs ?
Yeah, maybe!
I always enjoy your videos Rick. I find you articulate and engaging and I know how how much work goes into producing one of those videos.
Btw, was all of your drone footage with that small drone that you had on your table?
Yes, the Hover Air X1 camera is really a great little drone.
@@gonagain thanks, I bought a dated DJI drone so it will not follow me but that may be the solution is to get a second little inexpensive drone like that one.
Thank you, Rick for the images of the camouflage tent. There are worldwide only a few with a camouflage design and I bought the only one available in Europe for 200 bugs from a Taiwanese company. This Üpon-Tent was horrible. Good to see, that meanwhile there are more on the market.
This is my third tent and, believe it or not, a decent 1 person tent is available at Walmart. I have one and the quality is pretty good. I just don't like it's bright red color.
@@gonagain We do not have Walmart here in Germany, but Decathlon with sometimes similar cheap prices. Most of the tents are too easy to recognize in the woods and wildcamping is strictly forbitten in Germany. There are meanwhile since the gravel biking rend several good single person tents available. But non of these in a camou-design.
I believe those instant camping foods are to expensive for what you get, when you can dehydrate and make your own to go food for less.
We have been freeze drying our own homemade meals to take camping eith us fir a quick meal
Oh my fav beer, Cold Smoke. Great video,thanks
Looks like a good time. Definitely not a minimalist 😊
Mountain house is the best, not cheap but worth it.
Looked like fun , thanks for taking us along!😊
I don't know if you know this but you can strap that tent to a large cot. When a scout gets a new member to join I buy them one of those tents... they absolutely love them 🤩
I didn't know that, thanks for the tip!
We are leaving Texas 4 / 27 going to travel from St Louis to Montana following The Missouri River any suggestions on where to boondock?
Before you leave, purchase the DeLorme maps for each state that you intend to travel through. That way it will be easy for you to locate the BLM, National Forest and other public lands along your route. You can find those map books on Amazon.
Nice to see your video Rick, I also have a t1 pro, it's long range and high cargo capacity made me think about trying to go camping with it's, but never had the time, seeing your video inspired me to camp, I think I'm going to do a camping trip this month!
I keep modifying my gear to be smaller and lighter where possible. On a longer trip I'd leave a few more things at home and would choose a very lightweight tent.
Did Lewis and Clark come up the Missouri back in 1803?
Sorry, I asked my dumb question before I listened to all of your story.
I read the book about the Great adventure of L &C.
This where L&C spent the most time on their trip west on the Missouri. Sacagawea was treated with sulfur water from a spring near here, they shot a grizzly near here and more. There's a great visitor center all about them right here in town along the Missouri.
