Camping In the Remote Areas of Nevada

We do have fun, there's no doubt about that, but should you also venture out into remote areas? In this video we leave our campsite in the Mount Grafton Wilderness area in Nevada and search out other possible boondocking locations. Featuring the Ward Mountain Charcoal Ovens.

So nice to see those ovens are still okay and no one has messed with them. I remember these from when I was a kid and my Dad took me to see them.
If your alternator fails use your power banks, you can wire in the 12V power to your battery and this will get you down the road many more miles. Don't forget that roll of duck tape for fixing hoses or even make a drive belt out of it. If a non-A/C belt is available for your model engine get one, if the A/C compressor bearing locks up you can just switch to the shorter belt. Seen this many times in the shop. Bailing wire, keep a small roll good for repairing many things. One time my Dad had a U-Joint go bad and he wired the drive shaft back up and it got us home. Also good for repairing broken exhaust hangers. Thanks for the tour.

A friend of mine Brian (The adventure van man) Gave me a great suggestion for dispersed camping. Have a long magnet on a rope and drag it around your campsite before you park to pick up any hidden nails. A lot of people burn old pallets that are loaded with nails save yourself from getting a flat tire.

Love your backroad adventures. Thanks. 😊

Rick and Linda....you've done it again !!! Another great video....

[nature]

Great advice. I thought about this before when i start camping. An offroad bike would be my nice add on too. A pew pew is a must as well too.

Nevada really has a lot of nice remote areas especially for camping
and it is very beautiful in that part of Nevada, I'm really enjoying seeing
these parts of the US, a lot interesting looking places there with the old remains of the log houses along the roads as always i really enjoy seeing
your travels around the country, have a great weekend and take care,
until next time thanks again Rick and Linda.🇺🇲🚌🚐🇺🇲

Thank you for your videos, I haven’t seen the charcoal ovens in person since 1952 they look pretty much the way I remember them! I’m surprised that they haven’t been tagged in some fashion, also imagine going out South of Ely in a 1947 Studibaker without 4 wheel drive no satellite communicator just a bag of sandwiches and a picnic basket and a 1 gallon thermos with lemonade I believe we had and going and driving those back roads and that is what we did just about every Sunday afternoon we go exploring we lived in Ely for one year until dad got mountain sickness and we transferred to Chicago

Those ovens were really cool. Fascinating history lesson, thanks.

You've mentioned about boondock camping before, but your the only one I've ever heard speak about the "rules" of camping. I'm 53 now, but when I was a kid with my parents we went around the State of Wa. all the time hunting fishing and camping everyone camped like people call boondocking now. People are different now they don't understand the "Western" lifestyle and how people are, or were, there are so many transplants from elsewhere that they don't quite understand the separatist ways. I will say that if someone knew people were nearby camping and an emergency happened or somebody broke down nobody was ashamed to ask for help when your out in the wilderness you would help each other in that regard.

We recently finished our "out west" tour which lasted 6 weeks. Common sense is definitely our greatest asset. We also had a garmin communicator for emergencies because 85 percent of the time, we had no cell service, which was fine. Extra gas, water, food, meds, insured our safety. Alertness and intuition also helps, but that goes along with common sense. We had a blast but it wasnt our first time out. We learn something new every time. I appreciate your videos. My hubs and i enjoy them very much.

Thanks never knew about seep’s good to know Happy Trails Thanks 🙏🏼

[lindagolden]

🥾 I really enjoy how you and Linda traverse remote areas for camping which often afford your viewers hidden gems as well as pioneer dwellings long forgotten.

[davidwall]

I also pull a trailer. I love areas similar to this. It's surprising where you can go pulling a trailer. You just go slow . Thanks for sharing my friends

[bornwander]

Hi Folks, longtime subscriber here 😊. Yes you mentioned a lot of absolute necessities, you mentioned common sense . It's an Oxymoron because it's something a lot of people lack 😂. Old Boy Scout motto is Be Prepared. Enjoyed your video and keep em coming . I too am an older full-time nomad off-grid guy. ( 61 ) . I much prefer dispersed camping to being cramped in a space next to people. The whole idea of this lifestyle is peace and serenity & communing with nature . Be safe out there .

[stuartstuart]

Ahh, cool, we were in that area just last year, stayed at the Ely KOA. It looks like you have gone away from propane and are embracing induction cooking. I love how fast they are

[seymourrivers]

Absolutely fascinating episode. Isn’t it wonderful how the kilns are in such original condition after all these years

[scenicdriveways]

Nice video guys.
Great message about being prepared too. I replace my Serpentine Belts long before they need to be replaced, and then put the old ones under the back seat in case of emergency. I also have a spare belt tensioner under there.
Safe travels & God Bless ya both.

The thistle-like plant might be Argemone munita, a species of prickly poppy. Most other thistles have those spiney flowers whereas this one has white petals.

What a cool adventure. It's amazing the greed of man. They ran out of trees...😢

[SoonerGirlTravels]

I always look forward to sharing in these adventures with you guys. So much fun!
