- We were running from a storm and seeking shelter when we found this beautiful camping spot on public land in southern Nevada. We got the metal detector out to search for gold and explored up a narrow ravine. Video was made during May of 2021.

Getting out on the road is what Linda and I love to do with our converted cargo trailer camper. We're part time nomads and the nomadic lifestyle suits us to a Tee. Whether your RV is a camper van, camp trailer, travel trailer, motorhome or just a car and a tent, there's going to be something interesting for you in the videos we produce. Back roads and overlanding are part of what we do while exploring the western states for beautiful, peaceful and sometimes remote places to camp on BLM and National Forest land (public land). Taking care of ourselves as much as possible and doing our own repairs is a must because we travel on a fixed income and a limited budget. If your into being off-grid and boondocking, or doing dispersed camping whenever possible then you'll appreciate the discussions on batteries, solar panels and solar chargers or power stations and 12v refrigeration. Come on along, we're happy to have your company!

It's not illegal to refill your own 1lb. propane bottles and that's why you can purchase the adapter at most Walmarts and on Amazon, but it's technically illegal to transport a refilled container "interstate". This seems to refer to "commerce", or commercial activity, but if your choose to refill your own bottles you need to take this into account.
Flame King sells a 1-lbs. propane cylinder that’s specifically designed and approved for refilling. They have a bleed valve that opens and closes with a supplied Allen wrench. While the Coleman cylinders can be refilled, it’s trickier to bleed the air out. I’ve refilled both and find the Flame King to be superior as well as safer.
I have also gone with the Flame King refillable bottles. They work great and there are no leaks.
Oh how I miss exploring Nevada! I am 71 years old, also, but severe arthritis has kept me home for the last 5 years. Your videos allow me to live vicariously. Thanks!
It happens to the best of us. Thanks for watching Mary!
"How come I am carrying everything?" You guys have a wonderful comedy about your comments. The pinstripes are a badge of honor on your beautiful Yukon. Stay safe and healthy.
Never seen someone have so much fun just wandering! Enjoy!
I'm sure you're going to get your chance soon!
Very enjoyable. 'Aimless wandering' to the point of perfection.
Yep, David, we've had years of aimless wandering to get to this point of perfection. Thanks for watching, see you on the next one.
Never dreamed 71 not too shabby..u r 1 of our fav to watch keep on keeping on
I feel I would not b able to find by way back to our camp getting lost glad u and Linda show us its possible ..greetings from NC ..Moab forever..
Thank you Candy! We're careful about keeping track of our whereabouts.
I love hearing the local birds. Thanks for those nice quiet shots here and there.
Thanks Derek.
You are blessed, count your blessings everyday.
Yes, thank you!
We enjoyed it very much thanks for taking us along good luck with the gold
Thanks for coming along! We haven't found any gold yet, just hot rocks but we mainly use it as a reason to get out.
Stunning location. Never lose your sense of adventure. Thanks.
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Beautiful country!
Another interesting and pretty spot to camp and explore
Great way to stay fit.. You guys rock.
Nice peaceful area! Great place to explore.
Thanks for the adventure 🌴🍊🐊
Love the videos thanks for letting us come along with you!
You 2 are a great inspiration to my wife and I. We hope to get out there to explore as well soon. Thanks for the great info!
See you out there I hope!
Your living the dream.....great video!!
Beautiful spot 😍
Grrrrreat video so enjoyable . I burst out laughing Linda can we take this rock home too funny👍
She'd do it if we had a bigger truck.
Rick, I'm glad that you are able to walk half a mile, after that trip to "wounded knee" was temporary, God Bless you on your travels, enjoy watching you guys
Thanks Danny, I'm slower but I still get there eventually.
Beautiful 💕
I noticed the way You parked Your Car and trailer, where if a hard rain did come Water would run around You. Great idea. One of these day's maybe You could show Us Your method of refilling Your small Propane Bottle's. I would trust Your expertise, some people I don't. Stay safe.
Great video!!
The problem persist about the “next bend”, always tugging at the heart!
Cheers
Enjoy your day
Thanks, Wayne. Hope you have a great day too, it is a beautiful one already.
We like metal detecting also and of course just getting outdoors. Enjoy your videos.
Thanks 👍
Always enjoy your how-to what you did reviews and such but this has got to be your best travel video.
Great views of the area. Great idea refilling the small propane bottles. You should do a video, your viewers trust your word. Peace
Added another place to me to visit thanks
Thanks for sharing this video, interesting.
Glad you enjoyed it, Mark. Thanks for watching our videos, we appreciate it.
Thanks for taking us along on your adventure. Closest most of us will get to a canyon in Nevada!
Glad to have you along on this one, Kay. See you on the next one!
Lol. Looking for gold in all the wrong places, Hilarious! You guys are great.
My friend that is a beautiful spot and I bet there is gold around there. You two make my day and I really enjoyed another great video from you. You find what you seek and I bet a gold nugget is around the corner waiting for you or Linda to dig it up. Carry on my friends and always see what is around the next corner. Take care and stay safe.
This is the exploring I like ! Keep it ip u 2 .
More to come!
The 2 of you visit some really neat places. You really put that trailer to some good use
We put a lot if miles on the trailer and it's holding up well.
Great share and place you found! Thanks MUCH for bringing me along! I think the rock Linda wanted is too big for her slingshot:) Cheers and all the BEST toyou, family and friends!
Thanks for watching, Marty!
Glad to see you and Linda out and about.
Glad you came along on this one, glen!
Since we found you two we are playing catch up with your adventures. Again Gary is retired geologist and I thought we had covered a lot of our state. Never thought as we traveled on those brush covered roads as pin striping on our vehicle. Thank you again for the adventures.
Thanks for watching, Lynne. I bet you and Gary have had a lot of those adventures too.
Can we take this rock home? That was perfect 😁
Optional pinstripes come with this off-road model. 🌵
A little pin striping not a problem, it’ll buff out 😁.
Was worried a little there, Linda didn’t show up until more than half way through the video 🤷🏼♂️.
Enjoyed your excursion, such beautiful scenery and when you caught the bird singing 🙋🏼
interesting
Yea !!! You guys are Gone Again , love watching your travels.
Always love you journeys
Thanks
Outstanding video
What a way to end my day🤗
Greetings from East Tennessee
Thanks for watching our adventure from East Tennesse. Maybe one day we'll make out that-a-way.
Flame King refillable canisters are great.
Comes with a canister a stand for your 20 pound tank and a fill valve.
It fills it all the way and you don’t have to cool off the canister.
Just saying it’s an option for about $25 a couple years ago.
Thank you for the video.
Very calming 😊
I've looked for those and can't find any. The sellers are out of stock but I'll keep looking.
It's great to see you making the things better than you found them. A little maintenance is appreciated by others. A good value to have and thank you.
Thx for the vid, enjoyed it, an following
Welcome aboard!
one more thing rick nxt time place a large blue or grey tarp over your truck to protected it from the wind , and dirt in high winds,
Not a bad idea!
Metal detecting does sound like an affordable & interesting hobby that, like you say, has the added benefit of getting you outside & walking. Down here in Florida, a lot of people use them on the beaches and can find a lot of valuable items that get lost in the sand. Happy hunting!
It would be fun to metal detect on a busy beach, for the beach fun and metal detecting fun.
@@gonagain Yes, except for doing it on very hot & humid days, which we get a lot of here! There’s no shade on the beach, either; plus you wouldn’t want to be out there when the summer thunderstorms roll in, especially with a metal detector in hand! ⛈ ⚡️
Looked like a nice secluded camping site. Must be nice to be able to be on the road a month.
I keep trying to stretch it out more each time, but my granddaughters always insist we come back!
@@gonagain
Raising girls on a boat can't be much different than g-kids in a camper. Our kids have been dragging our g-kids. Now g-kids are outside with g-g-kids. Funny how life goes around.
Great video again. The market is looking for magnetic car side savers ,
I could have used something like that, but it's probably too late now.
Fun adventure video thanks for sharing. Reminds me of our four peaks wilderness area outside of Phoenix area used to go up with my Dady exploring the old Spanish gold mines back in the 70s.👊👍😎
That's a beautiful area. Hope this wildfire season doesn't impact it.
It got whacked pretty hard last year by the fire but about 20% of our wild lands are on fire right now pretty sad. 👊👍😎
A pair of lopping shears is a good tool to remove roadside brush
I had to look that up, I've always had them, but didn't know what they were called!
lol your hear Pinstripe going on. Oh you keep Linda sweet by putting sugar in her coffee do you if she's like my wife she is going to get you if your not careful lol. you talk 55 gal drum and old glass like that around here means moonshine I'm just saying. The only thing missing is the copper pipe. As always we have enjoyed your video and we hope your tomorrow is better than your today was.
Thanks, Den!
@@gonagain No, thank you for putting up good content. And putting up with me.
👍👍
Have u ever thought about installing diamond plate along the sides that match the nose in order to save it from getting scratches?
That stuff is expensive, but yes, we've thought about that. Thanks, SelbySquatch.
@@gonagain true not cheap at all.
I carry a stack of classifiers and shovel some good looking dirt through them to see what I can find. Dry stream beds and washes, trying to get lucky. Maybe a sharks tooth or arrowhead. Gold would be great!
That's a great idea! Have you found any of those?
@@gonagain Not yet, only pretty rocks so far.
Still envy you guy's, Rick your age surprised me!! I hope to be getting around like your able to if and when I reach that goal.
That's ok Todd, my age surprises me too.
Wow - beautiful there! Thanks for bringing us along for the ride. Haha, was that a lunar module!? Blessings!
Maybe!
Hello You Crazy-Campers. Oh How I love this area. It Never Ends. (lucky for me I know this Entire location as it's real close to Home Base) but come to think of it, Everywhere is 'home base' these days. Great Footage once again. How is your Knee holding up Rick??? Too bad about the Fire Restrictions, but it's for the best. Be Safe, Enjoy, then go 'Do it Again'.😁👍
Hi Vincenzo, my knee is doing better but drs say no surgery. And no hills, up or down.
🤙
Now that is my kind of camping what a beautiful spot so peaceful
You need a drone to scout ahead on trails.
Friday morning on the Solent Coast of U.K. and have just had a guided walk up a valley in Nevada. You cutting back the brush reminded me of my father ‘slashing back’ blackthorn boundary hedges in North Yorkshire, thanks for the memory. AJ
Did you see any snakes or wildlife out there? I am the same way, what could behind the next bend and I would keep walking, because you never know what you could find. Very nice video thank you sharing.
I'm sure they're out there but didn't see any wildlife except for each other.
Your math is pretty spot on! Propane in N. East Texas is 2.99 a gallon at moment. With the percentage of fill a place is allowed to fill your 20 pound propane tank to, i find I get about 17 One pound green tank refills from the 20 pounder.
Are y'all traveling right now. I would think I believe you said Southern Nevada would be pretty miserable right now. I enjoyed watching the little trailer doing its thing in the back roads
This was last May and I intended to say that in the video description. Thanks for reminding me Wes!
I just thought I would mention this, please don't forget to change the fluid in your transfer case and your front and rear axle.
Also I ran tire shops for quite a while and I thought I would mention safety seal plugs are absolutely great.
Whenever I got a flat (which wasn't very often) I used to keep them at my house and in my tire shop of course.
Great advice, I would also add checking the air filter often, they travel in a dusty environment. Also, keep the throttle body and air-flow sensor clean. Peace
@@Blackopsmechanic338 you know one thing that I ran into quite a bit, People's Front End was shaking and then go to the Crooked tire shops and they charged them for a rebalance when all it was... snow packed in the behind the wheel.
Another gud one folks. Linda you need to start doing some of that hard work filming lugging that heavy camera around!!!! Stay safe.
😂
Linda should tie that shovel to his backpack. Maybe a quick release velcro when needed fast. Sharing is caring.
Good suggestion....oh thanks for sharing abt the Li-ion power pack give away....l'll be happy to send you my mailing address so you know where to ship either the 1st or 2nd
unit....🤗😉
Great idea, refilling the propane bottles....also I like how you cut out a hole for your stove...you are genius!
Gorgeous country! And yes detecting is a lot of fun. Even better when you find color!
I'm still searching for my first nugget!
Tip.
You have to look for color. Where color has been found before. But occasionally one does get lucky! And there's nothing like finding that 1st nugget! Something you both will never ever forget! Good hunting!
Pair of loppers would make that thinning job easy you can get fiskars brand for $15 or so and useful at home when you get back
Those fiscal loppers work well, too.
when filling up the little propane containersit best to have a scale, the container is empty weight is about 12-14 oz. so you want to fill only 1 #, into it. . place the empty container into a refer or ice box for about 2 hrs. remove it and start filling the container, some say to have the bigger tank upside down, i prefer standing up the only time to fill upside down on the big tank is when its running low itself. tap the bleeder several times to release air pressure from the small tank. then fill it again. please folks remember when filling the 20 gal tank PLEASE OPEN THE BLEEDER VALVE UNTIL IT BEGINS TO SPIT A FULL STREAM OF PROPANE THEN CLOSED IT. MOST PLACES LIKE COSTCO AND UHAUL , LEAVE THE VALVE CLOSED THATS WRONG TO DO. ,IF THEY CLOSE THE VALVE AFTER YOU OPENED IT DONT PAY FOR IT. , REPORT THEM TO THE BBB, OR THE MGR OF COSTCO OR UHAUL FOR NOT DOING IT RIGHT. YOUR THEN GETTING 80 PERCENT AIR AND 20 PERCENT PROPANE, . IT TAKES AIR TO PUSH PROPANE INTO THE TANK
Tanks for the tips t m! (pun intended). Good information, thanks.
Your propane lasts longer if you fill your pot before lighting the burner.😁
I knew someone was going to call me on that!!!
for the folks on site when purchasing a metal detector, if yuor into precious metal remmeber the hz on the metal detectors should be around 7 to 20 hz, above that its great for gold, mine is a kruzer gold metal, 75 hz signal, made for gold and everything else, . also learn to do a bounce test before using your detector, bounce the detector up and down several things to connect with the ground surface, it helps with depth and sound response. . hey rick that bottom of the bottle that linda found it from an old clorex or gallo wine bottle. they were that thick back in the day, because the glasses wasnt tempered. happy hunting
That explains why old glass bottles were so thick! Thanks.
I'm like you. I sure enjoy exploring places like that. I did notice the grimace on your face as you backed into that tight space.
It never dawned on me as I blew thru bottle after bottle of the 1 lb propane bottles, that maybe I should refill them. I just complained about the price. Thanks for the tip.
Love your videos, much more informative than others! What is the stove you're using? I'd like to do that exact setup in my rig!
It's just a Coleman 1 burner that is screwed onto the green bottle.
Rick, you mentioned a "Disco bed" for your trailer? Please explain? THX, Cajun
Here ya go Cajun, these are comfortable and ready to go: amzn.to/3xVfedV
@@gonagain Thank you, Sir!!!
"This might be camp" and other words uttered by boondockers everywhere. ❤
Yep!
Every time you mention coffee I start wanting a cup.🤪 if you are going to make Linda carry everything you better put more sugar in her coffee.
Or give her more coffee.
If you had to go with a larger trailer would you go longer or wider.
Probably wider because it allows you to sleep across the width more comfortably and that frees up floor space for other things.
@@gonagain
I have thought about 7 wide and double axle. Two axles might have been handy with your axle broke. Thanks for the reply
Which video did you review the security camera that you put on your house?
Those security cameras continue to work very well for us. They're in this video: czcams.com/video/lv-rM3EqTgQ/video.html
Excuse my Wisconsin ignorance, but what is a "hot rock"?
A hot rock is a rock that contains minerals that ring up on the detector. Like it has iron in it but no good stuff like gold.
Curious,...have you found anything with your metal detectors worth mentioning?
Well, interesting, but not of value. Like a Spencer carbine cartridge case, old wagon axle spindle, water pitcher (like the ones from a dresser top). No gold or silver yet!
My wife and i know Linda name when we talk about your videos, but dont know the Gentlemans name. Help ?
Hello Demario, my name is Rick. Pleased to meet you!
@@gonagain i thought so but wasnt sure. Thanks wife and i purchased a 6×12 inspired from you and your wife. Thanks for the great videos.
it's early I'm 71 gimme a break lmao and stop making linda carry everything! if ya'll strike it rich i call dibbs on your trailer and vehicle LOL i always say "ok Ma what's next" lol
Hello do you meat
We do.
@@gonagain lol Iwas asking do you metal dect.
We do have one and occasionally take it out and use it. We have fun but haven't found anything exciting yet.
