Great vid. Love the desert how you can see for miles. What jacket are you wearing?
The desert is beautiful but I will take the Cascades or the Hoh any day, I love my state (even though the Libtards are ruining the Politics) WA and the PNW is where I grew up and I don't see myself leaving. The great thing about WA is we have both the Green, wet, Rainforest side, the Mountains, and the East is more baron, hot, desert. The biggest problem with WA is the Dems, they have taxed everything and then some, and between them and the tech industry it's making the cost of living here skyrocket. House prices in Seattle are insane, what would go for $250,000 10 years ago is now over a Million, I saw a shack for 1.6 million listed the other day, but it had a great view of downtown and was withing biking distance (that's a big selling point, eventually Cars will be outlawed in Seattle).
Good vibin' vid, Tim!
BTW, what did you use to spark up that fire?
Hey Tim. Great to see a video which isn't a gear review. Far more interesting.
Only guy to pack in scorpions to the desert. Just joking great video love em all keep em coming. God Bless
Great Video, love the views. Keep it up
Thank you I just love you guys. Tim, wingmen,Aaron.
Great vid, do more. Thanks
send a photo to junkyard fox, James harris, he'll I.d it for you.
Kosher dogs over a desert fire ketchup mustard and onions. Yummy. Yummy. Wash it down with some lenonade. Yummy.
Juniper berry tea makes you pee a lot.
there are plenty of resources down in the low desert you just need to know what to look for. great vid Tim it was cool to see you trekking in my world.
I’d love to go hiking in the desert
nice and wide open with less ticks and Lyme disease great video 
.
Just like home- I grew up in Utah and we spent our time between the high mountains and the desert- this video reminds me of weekends running wild as kids and scout camps. Juniper and sage desert has its own beauty. The pine nuts are good eating and most juniper is fine to eat, just very astringent. The juniper bark is amazing stuff, good for fire lighting, cordage, shelter building, hammocks, and basketry. I'm glad you enjoyed it out there!
Hey brother that pine nut is called piñon its eatible and healthy for ya u cam cook with kt aswell
Ya don't eat juniper berries unless you know what kind of juniper it is.
Love the gear reviews. Just letting you know. After many moons between leathermen oht and Gerber center drive I have gone with the oht. Thank you for the reviews. Also just ordered my Canadian bug roll. Thank you Adam.
Hope those were free range scorpion
Very nice video hope you had fun.
Love this kind of video. Keep doing it!
Welcome to our side of the country Tim. Here on the ID/NV/UT tri state border high desert.
Beautiful country isn't it?
Moved here in 1998 from Boston – best thing we ever did.
Awesome, thank you for sharing.
Love this kind of video… way better than gear review! Thanks!
Great video. Lovely scenery and also scorpion snacks. Keep up the good work brother
I’m in LA. I drive north for camping on Frazier Mountain. Which is sort of desert like but there is lush forest there as well. I think you’d be impressed with the area.
Well Tim, as I was born and lived the 1st 17 years of my life in the great lakes region of NH, I now live in the low basin desert in Arizona, biggest advice from me, is stay active at night and rest (wherever you can find shade) during the day, have not been back to NH since 2015, but am planning a trip again by 2020, I try and go about every 5 years.
Absolutely great video!
Yes, as Squirrel Saga said, that's juniper bark. And, as BushcraftNBaseball said, those pinon nuts are wonderful to eat. I'm just seconding their comments. BTW, if you can find some New Mexico Pinon coffee, they mix the nuts with coffee and it's fantastic! Here's a link JIC you have any interest: https://nmpinoncoffee.com/
You’ll eat scorpions but not pine nuts?
Great to see you had a great day outdoors. Inspired.
