I found a missing person *Crawfish Camping Trip*

Taking the fat tire ebike out camping. This is day one where i seized the moment and jumped in the water for some crawfish! Crayfish however you spell it, this was one of the most fun experiences I've had on a solo trip.

Hit him up if you need something art related done!

Fisherman’s life is on the pursuit to happiness, that’s for sure.

Love me some crawfishing! I think YouTubers always like to think we are inspiring other people, but I think one of the greatest things about being a YouTuber is that making videos inspires us to get out and try new things ourselves!

That “gut instinct” is very real. It’s something we’ve adapted to learn for centuries. Our ancestors used this instinct to avoid being eaten by lions. We use it today to avoid getting robbed.

I have a similar story! I lived in Yakima WA which is in the desert which means the winters are brutal. My roommate and I went out hunting about a half hour from town up the mountain pass where we had previously gone foraging. It was an abnormally cold October but while we we walking around we found a man camping in a pretty remote campsite up at the top of the pass. He had his geo tracker pulled up, several tents, a makeshift table, and a furnace. It was clear that he planned on living there for a while and when we waved at him as he chopped wood he seemed like a friendly younger guy. That day that we were hunting was actually the first snowfall of the season and we couldn’t imagine camping out there even for just a night. Fast forward a couple weeks and the snow is many feet high up there and the pass is completely closed. We totally forgot about the guy until we went back up there in the spring (this last spring) after the snow melted to look for some mushrooms. We doubted that his stuff would still be there but we were absolutely shocked when we turned the corner. His truck was in the same exact spot, all of his tents were collapsed and soaking wet with his tools and camping gear still inside. His food was strung out all over the forest floor, obviously pillaged by the bears and raccoons. It was clear that that man took absolutely nothing with him (if he did indeed leave the mountain) because there was some valuable gear left behind (not to mention the car). We found a library card in the geo but it was too weathered to read. We took plenty of pictures and turned the info over to our search and rescue friend from church. Within a week or two the campsite was cleared out and we never heard if they found out what happened to the guy. We hope that he just got a lift out of there by a friend and never claimed his gear because there was cougar and bear sign all over that part of the pass. I hope you see this story @fishermanslife

This is what I needed to hear, glad to know I'm not alone. Miss the wilderness so much and haven't been able to go. Had a camping trip planned for my birthday and then all these fires ignited.

I was driving through the freeway once and for some reason I looked on the other side and saw a stranded truck hauling a trailer the guy was walking on the side of the driver side, didn't think much of it so I kept driving home, that same night I was scrolling through Fb when I saw a local news picture and told myself "that truck looks familiar" then I was like "holy shit that's the same truck!" Guy was hit and killed by another vehicle passing by, just couple of seconds after I passed by. Even though I never met the guy, the idea of anything can happen to you in an instant really stuck with me ever since, Matts is right you have to enjoy life now and not postpone it

[justinmachado]

i love this guy he’s so chill and cracks me up plus i get to enjoy the fishing aswell quality videos keep it up!

[ImDGKyou]

I like how he’s telling the story and ripping that crawfish apart while looking around 😂

[reyrodriguez]

My dad went out to clear his mind when I was 2. Guess his mind still needs clearing, haven’t seen him since 😂

[Fishingletsgo]

Same situation here! 2 small kids, city life and busy work but when i finally go out and fish my mind relaxes. Showed the part to my wife were you said "let your man go out and fish", she gave me the evil eye haha . greetings from Sweden

[yudiandrayuwono]

It's been a long stressful week and suddenly everything's better when I saw you drop this video. Huge thanks man

[lancermaza]

Always carry a piece when you’re out alone in the wild. Better be safe than sorry they said. Stay safe brother

[pinstripingbybear.]

These are the videos we have been waiting for man. We understand that the ocean is a easier place for you to make videos but for us that cant afford to get to the ocean to fish and the next cheapest thing is the mountains these videos help out allot with the Unexperienced outdoors men

[fastyou]

Always good to have protection with you when out in the wilderness alone, glad to see your being safe

[SusanMinhTrangNguyen]

I couldn't agree more! I've been with my husband for 22 years and married 18 years, every Sunday-Monday is his day with his friends to golf.. it's a do not call and bother his day and for me as well.. Everyone needs time and space to breathe in a healthy relationship.

[rustyandtherobotband]

I love the little sound effects when you caught each crawfish😁

[martinquintana]

I applaud you Matts for that piece of advice to go out and clear your mind, espeacially with all the nonsense thats going in the world. Also its so true to be prepared when you are out there, like you said not so much the four legged creatures but the two legged ones. Awesome video, looking forward to the next one. Stay safe and stay blessed. Aloha from Kansas.

[kentnguyen]

Glad you finally brought protection with you Matt. I’m from around that area and there’s been case in the past where family went on a daily hike and went missing.

[josetellez]

That message hit hard since I went to CO for vacation with some family and for most of the time we went fishing just me and my older brother. So calming, never been so relaxed and worry free in years.

[dustinwhitesell]

Bro from your story, to seeing you carrying a pistol, and just your demeanor… this video made my heart really really happy, I’m glad you’re protecting yourself, and that story man that was eerie but kinda cool as well as scary…. But dude your videos are so awesome I hope one day I can fish with you
