I live in Europe. And when seeing scenery like this, it always pops up in my mind, which tribe/s lived there. So a quick Google search showed: "The Serrano, Cahuilla, Chemehuevi, and Mojave tribes are intimately connected to the land in and around Joshua Tree National Park." Those people living off the land. That wasn't always easy I suppose. But it was the way they knew...

🌵👍

This looks just great my friend! Absolutely beautiful presentation 👌👌

I love reading your writing, Ive done a LOT of writing in my time, and it was a valuable expressive catharsis that I miss... thanks for sharing your adventures! Though I dont know how you survive the heat and exposure, I admire that you've made it a priority to be adapted to the natural environment🙂

At least get the name of the Park right. It's not "Joshua National Park".

Thanks Ryan; I know this place, magical!

Thanks for peaceful journey Ryan

Very tranquil gives a great representation of time slowing down! Love it! Need it!

Mother Nature …knows best.Freedom 100%..Safe travels brother

A Horse With No Name Song by America On the first part of the journey I was looking at all the life There were plants and birds and rocks and things There was sand and hills and rings The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz And the sky with no clouds The heat was hot, and the ground was dry But the air was full of sound I've been through the desert On a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain In the desert, you can remember your name 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain

If we get out of our head , be aware and look , there is beauty in everything

Excellent post

The desert has its own beauty. Good to see you wandering around it. Hope you are doing well. Cheers mate.

Canyon Lake outside of Tortilla Flats??? Thanks Ryan for the video.

Did you think about swimming in that water? If it's hot out there.. to cool down a bit..🤔

Great stuff, loved the solitude.

Hold the knife one one place and pull the ferro rod across the scallop. I prefer holding a knife or scaper in one place and moving the ferro rod most of the time as I believe it gives me more control. YMMV!

Cosco containers are really the g.o.a.t of camping. Great video!

✌👌

Thanks Ryan for the video. Looks like you have a nice ecconomical rig to travel in. Gone to see America.

Thanks Ryan for sharing your experience in the beautiful desert.

🙌👁👁

Love the Sonoran Desert in the spring. Thanks Ryan for the video.

I've never before seen a desert in bloom. Thanks for this!

A very brave man to camp in the desert alone.

Spring desert in bloom; the most beautiful.

Wow, invasion of the cacti. 😁 Beautiful scenery..

How your channel does not get more views per episode is beyond me, or why you dont have more subs is ridiculous. Great content! Thanks for sharing.

Hello from Yukon, I haven’t checked you channel in a while but enjoy your knife reviews & your personal reflections. I’m in agreement with u regarding the struggle to produce images (i was a wildlife photographer) now leaving the camera behind more often to be in the moment. I feel it’s more important to go with your “gut” & have the experience that miss it trying to capture it. Having said that on rainy days I do enjoy watching & learning from other UA-cam channels. Connecting with yourself & the “spirit that moves through all things” is my priority. Thanks for keeping it real. 🙏🏻

Amazing brother..Solitude and Mother Nature

Nice...

One word that comes to my mind is Peaceful. Good for the mind and soul. Thanks for the journey.

Good morning my brother in arms. Thank you for your serene videos. I too am a veteran with PTSD (Iraq '03). For many years I wandered desert places, spiritually speaking, and sought to fill that inner void, that overwhelming sense of emptiness, with different pleasures and pursuits, including bushcraft. All the while I fought depression, anxiety, and unshakable suicidal thoughts. Nothing filled the black hole in my heart until one day a veteran friend introduced me to a Bible. As I read, the Lord spoke to me, His words came alive, I came to know and understand that without Him life is empty and void. I gave my life to Christ and immediately He filled the emptiness within, as the Bible says: darkness flees from the light. Within months, I weaned myself off of all 3 prescriptions and 'graduated' from counseling at the VA, something that had been weekly for 6.5 years. I still have frequent bouts of depressive episodes and random thoughts of suicide, but I have a Savior and Creator to whom I turn and in whom I place my trust. He is faithful to walk me through the valleys and fires of life. He has broken the chains of slavery to prescriptions and worldly counseling (3 years sober). The Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God, said "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, 'From his innermost being will rivers of living water.' " (John 7:37-38) He also promised "If you continue in My word, you are truly disciples of Mine; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.... So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed." (John 8:31-32, 36) Jesus Christ, God Himself, the Creator of all things, really did step into humanity, born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died a sacrificial death on a cross to pay for the sins of the world, was buried, and rose again on the 3rd day, ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father. You and I, and all of our fellow humans have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). We all have a terrifying expectation of judgment and everlasting hell awaiting, for" the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 6:23) Those who accept the Lord Jesus Christ as their Lord and turn from their sins will inherit everlasting life as a free gift, there is no earning it, salvation is by God's grace, His unmerited favor towards undeserving men and women, and by His grace alone. God does not wish for any to perish but for all to come to repentance. (2 Peter 3:9) I encourage you, and anyone reading this, to get a Bible and read it faithfully, praying and asking the Lord to meet you where you are, to reveal Himself to you. He is faithful to do so. Find a church that actually teaches the Bible verse by verse, for "Faith come by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." (Romans 10:17). The LORD is my shepherd,I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters. He restores my soul, He guides me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You have anointed my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever. -Psalm 23 May the LORD richly bless you and draw you unto Himself, may He reveal Himself to you and grant you faith unto salvation. May you and I meet on His golden shores and rejoice in His grace and mercy and peace forever. Amen

Thanks Ryan. The beautiful timeless desert; silent and peaceful.

Calm and serene, with friendly groups of cactus waiting for your arrival. 😊

Ice spreads itself like moss.

"Heighth" is not a word

Drove through the Superstition Mountains earlier today. Enchanted place especially in the spring. Thanks Ryan for the video.

Still wearing open toe sandals in the spikey desert, some things haven't changed

Nice video, thanks 😊

Beautiful scenery 💙 You’re not being a “hippy” or “weird”, simply appreciating the land and all its splendor and natural treasures. I respect and admire that conscientious attitude. 👍🏼

I keep the Companion in my "10 Essentials" kit when I go hiking, along with a Swiss Army Knife Huntsman. Between the two, you can handle most out in the woods knife tasks if the need arises. But, when I go on a multi-day backpack trip, I take the Bushcraft Black for its superior capability. It's always comforting to know you have a quality tool when you're way out there in the woods.

I’d ideally like the bushcraft black in a non coated stainless blade

Once you sharpen the bushcraft black the dlc coating will come off the scandi grind

I think maybe you made it back to Arizona; now I think you find a wife to wander with you. Thanks for sharing your journey.

Dam impressive?

Beautiful.. But that dam was also impressive.

Safe travels Ryan; hope you find what you are looking for.

Dude, stay up there, it's a shit sandwich down here in the lower 48

Keep on tripping. I'll be watching. 😁👍
