It’s amazing to join you on these adventures. I’m in my 70’s and recovering from a stroke. I love exploring with you from my armchair in Adelaide, South Australia. Thank you for making this possible.

“Take only pictures, leave only footprints, ” was how I was raised. I’m so happy to see someone else spreading the word of how we need to treat the world.

I love the fact that you explore ruins with a drone rather than try and get to them on foot. They are so fragile now; any slips and walls will be coming down. We appreciate what you do, especially for those of us who can no longer get out to these places. Thank you...

Those isolated circles are known as Medicine Hats and served a similar function to the Anasazi kivas. They were purposely located in hard to reach, isolated and high locations. They were places for prayer, enlightenment and educating apprentices in the study of being a tribal medicine man.

Thanks Jeff for taking me on another adventure with you! Thanks for not intentionally showing any landmarks! I’m almost 70 and I enjoy seeing those sites. Take care and travel safely.

I joined your channel because of the respect and care you show on visiting these sites. I am older now and unable to hike through the ground you cover. Enjoy your time here and thanks for sharing with us!

That second site with the “staircase “ was unlike any I have ever seen. Most have some difficulty to access, most likely purposely, but that was a rare gem. Amazing, beautiful, mysterious, and sad in a way. It’s hard to believe an anthropologist or archaeologist would not be interested in such an unusual site.

[kimhaughton]

My first thought as you were looking for a way down that cliff was "are you out of your mind?". I mean you're all alone! Holy crap! You're one wrong step away from tragedy at worst and a really bad day at best. What you found is absolutely fascinating! Magical and mysterious! Even a bit frightening and sad. Thank you for taking us along! Just please be safe! Much love from Utah ❤️

This is one of the best channel on YouTube. While watching this episode I was distracted by my worry for your safety. The heat. The slippery stones. What if you fell and injured yourself. I hope you have a GPS tracker so a rescue team could find you!
I love taking a peek at the lives of these ancient people. Thank you for not stealing anything. Every scrap tells a story for future anthropologists.

Awesome video!!
Keep taking us with you in all your travels and adventures!
Thank you!!

I would have taken a shard or token before I found your channel. Now I will never take anything if I’m lucky enough to come across ruins, especially off the beaten path. Your videos are amazing and educational.

THANK YOU 🙏🏾 for not sharing this particular location with "everyone". And THANK YOU for showing the utmost respect for my ancestors. All I'll say is that particular place is the place of "emergence". As many of the other places you've visited, this place is highly sacred and should be treated as such 🙏🏾

[craignevels]

I respect the fact that you don't advertise where these sites are, nor do you take things or damage things. Great video!

[elouiserichards]

Treks. Thanks for taking us with you in your adventures. I love it. I am native and we have lived among these ruins. It was brought down to us by our ancestors, that Anasazi broke their pottery so they didn't have to carry pottery with them. Always pottery to make again. They say we don't want animals eating out of our pottery.

[oh]

I love that you bring us on these adventures. I can only manage a slow stroll around the park. It is great that you are getting these places on video, you are doing a great service to history

[marcyboucher]

You are the connection for so many to the outdoors. Paintings do that but you really make the visual trek.
Thank you so much for protecting what you see while exploring for us♥️stay safe!

Incredible! Makes you visualize natives from long ago. Perfect lookout, just amazing. That was one hard trip, so I appreciate you sharing. Much respect. Also, it has that greenery in the middle of a parched desert. They were intelligent earth dwellers.

[ericchase]

Jeff! I lived in Payson, AZ as a teen. The hill behind our neighborhood had ruins and tons of pottery shards. The place was eventually bulldozed to build more houses :( I wish all of us back then and the powers that be now had your ethical approach. I'm a professor of history now in the PNW and I really appreciate "going" with you on these adventures. I hope my students are as adventuresome and respectful as you are. Cheers!

[archeolobeadscabin]

Absolutely stunning structures. Your efforts to bring us along on your expeditions to these ancient treasures is very appreciated. Much respect!

[pattyrichardson]

Omg! 😱 it’s so beautiful! Your drone footage is just awesome! Tfs! Great respect! ❤
