In this video I explore one of my favorite places, which also happens to be an incredibly vast and empty part of the American West that most people just ignore.

Here's the yellow gas funnel thing I show in the video if you're interested: https://amzn.to/3RODZW7. And I hope everyone has a great Christmas! Cassie, Bowser, and I are just relaxing at home for the holidays, and it's great. What are you up to? Are you going adventuring, or are you relaxing? -Tristan
Thanks Tristan! I like all of this video and really want to check this area out. I agree with you about area's like this one. I am a fan of solitude with a view.
What coordinates for the camp site on the bluff thanks
Just found your channel, great videos, and so refreshing to see someone out there who didn't send $150k on an 'overlanding' truck with rooftop tents and all the bells and bloddy whistles
Thank you for the video. I love seeing new places and places I will never be able to go to. Triston, you scare me when you ascend and descend those rocks. Wow gorgeous scenery.
Its amazing that theres so much land with no people. 🦌💌❤️🙏👍
I've been to similar places in the UT/NV border area, but on the NV side of the border. Indeed it is nice to sometimes have from horizon to horizon all to yourself for a day or two.
I would have waited until about a gallon left in the tank before bothering to use a gas can. If I were worried about the gas getting old, or possibly having been tampered with, I'd use the can at home and refill the can when leaving on the next trip. This also reduces the risk of being stranded in the middle of nowhere if the gas can got contaminated with water, sugar, or whatever.
In fact, I try to never use a gas can that has been out of my sight/control, to add gas to my car, or my backup generator, or even my snowblower, for that reason. I'd rather use up old/questionable gas in a garden tractor engine, having two of them for reasons which are a whole other story, despite doing electric mowing now. One gets to tow the bark mulch cart each spring, one gets to do the final leaf mulching/blowing each fall.
Maybe I'm extra cautious because decades ago a neighbor's mentally disabled kid sugared the gas in a spare old car I had previously used as a nanny car. I didn't even tell the neighbor, due to a lack of concrete proof, knowing they'd get defensive, and the kid not being able to learn from discipline anyway. I figured it was better to just be happy I was done using the car, rather than upset the neighbors. Before and since then, I made sure I had locking gas caps, just somehow didn't bother on two old vehicles at around that time.
Beautiful video.
Interesting area,,very awe inspiring! My Grandpa always said,,if you couldnt find beauty in ugly landscapes,,you werent looking nearly hard enough,,,so i appreciate your sentiment. Even though ive never been through this area,,its always struck a chord with me because of the Pony Express connection. I had a great-something,,whose kid brother was supposed to have spent 6 months riding for the P.E. It might just be a family fairy tale as every family has,,but id like to believe its true. I think there are a couple relay stations in Nevada that are intact,,ranch buildings or something. Grandpa had a book from the 30s or 40s about the Express but i haven't seen that book in over 40 years,,so who knows! Thanks

Thank you for saying Nevada correctly. Always good to see your videos. Merry Christmas.
An amazing adventure. I love those spots where’s nothing to see but you can’t take your eyes off of it.
❤☕️🎅🏻🎄Safe Travels. 😎👣🐾👣
Outstanding Video!
I agree with you on the nothingness. I feel that when I have visited Death Valley. Not nearly as remote as this location. Good video. Merry Christmas
I can imagine why you like that desolate landscape. I think I would too. It’a like you are on another planet, like mars or something. Except for the temperature and gravity 🤣🇳🇱🇺🇸
Merry Christmas to you and your family. Thanks for showing us all the beautiful places in our country. 😊
White Noise. No idea where I heard it but I use it to describe real Solitude. I experienced 17 days with no human contact in Navada. Saw maybe 3 or 4 vehicles off in distance. It was beautifully insane, wake up one morning and it's like driving down a rough road then stopping, road noise gone, absence of engine running. But …louder. I had broken my camera earlier or it simply failed, but I wasn't even concerned about getting the shot. I dont know how to explain it or define it.
Like so many other commented, the desert is just another form of Beauty. Absence of Judgement allows me to experience it fully. Northern woodlands, oceans. Mountains. Warm fuzzies and a smile stuck on my face. Thank you Tristan for your continued reminder of what is available. May You and Yours have the Best Christmas possible!
New sites and Tight lines, Bro.
I live in Ohio but from Los Angelos and I think I’m supposed to live in that area! Lol! I totally agree that the stillness and being able to see vast distances over quiet beautiful mysterious lands has to be such a great privilege. I wish I had your job. Lol Keep up the great “ Work”??? Lol I am vicariously living the dream.
Love it all!😊
So peaceful. Totally get it. Merry Christmas to you & your wife.
For some of us, it's great to be alone in a lonely place. I've enjoyed the backcountry hikes at Chaco Canyon on numerous occasions where that solitude is readily at hand. Here in Oklahoma, there's a place called Gloss Mountain State Park which is simply a small butte where one can climb to the top and enter another "mini-world". Very cool. Love your videos, many thanks for posting them.
BTW, love your drone shots in this video.
solid geodes are called thunder eggs. Beautiful area.
What an awesome part of the country!!
I like how you are a real deal explorer and not a instagram overlander. You value functionality, reliability and actual usefulness over being flashy and outfitting your truck with flashy accessories that you’ll never use/don’t need.
I loved watching u look for Geodes!
Very nice intro scene. Network ready. You're framing is very nice on many of your shots and the subjects are beautiful with great story telling.
When I'm alone i feel special. When I'm around other people i feel awkward and don't fit in, so, yeah I get having no one around.
Southern Utah is the most camper-friendly state ive ever been to. Even beats Wyoming. That southern rim is outrageous! They even have road signs saying "Pull over, sleep anywhere, we got you!" I even made a video about my experience on how I find really dope remote camping sites using google maps (and skipping all the populated apps that ruin secret spots)
