    Wow Mark, was not expecting a video from you but glad you had time considering the holiday season. Beautiful Arkansas, I would really like to make it there some time and have some fun times. Thank you for your efforts and have a happy time with your family and enjoy all that good food and drink. I just went out and bought myself a special treat for Christmas that I have wanted ever since I was about 16. A beautiful classic 1940 Ford Deluxe Sedan in all original condition with only 45,000 miles. Can't wait to pick her up and do a little cruisin' ! Kenny C Oregon😊😊😊

    Always great to see your videos. I'm stuck in Missouri due to medical treatments into mid February. Can't do any camping except in the driveway. Winter weather looks to be mild this year. I started carrying a small Sportsman 1000watt inverter generator from Tractor Supply Co. All I need out of it is 400watts to charge the batteries. It's easier to just fire it up, for a couple of hours, than try to chase the sun though a break in the trees. Stay safe, well and positive.

      Hope you recover soon. I've got a couple of jackerys I use when I can't use my solar. I just fire up my honda generator to charge them back up for use over night. Trying to use solar in a forest doesn't cut it. LOL Thanks for watching!

      It was. I was going to do a video on that spot, but folks were showing up off and on through out the day at the swimming hole. I'll be back later this year to do one.

    Did tent camping in March at Lake Washita about 20 years ago and froze my ass off. That valley gets cold but the mountain tops there are even colder and windy. But no bugs! Carry you off in summer. Hopefully you hit the spas in Hot Springs for some R&R. Always slow this time of year

    • @DispersedCamperMan
      @DispersedCamperMan  Год назад +1

      Maybe next time I'll hit the spas. I haven't been there yet. I'll keep it in mind the next time I'm in that area. Happy Holidays!

    Oh no, I missed the premiere, so sorry Mark! Wow, what an opening splash of color, that looks like a great area to camp! This is the time of year for those colors in eastern Oklahoma and west Arkansas. Wow, what great views you got, loved that drone shot over the top of the mountains with the clouds! oh, I recently saw a video of a guy that drove his KLR 650 from Ok to Alaska! wow, talk about a durable bike, it took him quite a while (and a few videos) but he made it! Thanks for sharing sir!

    Love the views of the lake from up there. You can get some good sandwiches down at Burls smokehouse not far from there.

      I wish I would have know. Sandwiches would have been nice while there.

    Thank you for the advice and nice video. You have any suggestions on where to view the eclipse. I’m going to be riding my bicycle in Bella Vista the weekend before. Then heading to Georgia after watching the eclipse.

  • @chrisscott9517

    I got a feeling I'm going to know exactly the spot. I'm down there very frequently and have some foraging marked on my map close by!

    • @DispersedCamperMan

      It's possible. It's a nice campground with great views of Lake Ouachita.

      Yep you were there. Just about a thousand feet from a good pawpaw patch. Also lots of good dispersed camping around there and a stellar swimming hole. The vista used to be a lookout tower.

    • @wesw5123

      Paw paw patch? I'd love to get a start on my property.

    Your video’s are excellent, lots of valuable information. I was thinking of heading to Quartzite to get away from the cold. Plan on dispersed camping at the free BLM areas. Do you have to get a Arizona sticker for your atv. Keep up your videos. Thanks 🙏

    • @DispersedCamperMan
      @DispersedCamperMan  11 месяцев назад

      Glad it was helpful! My motorcycle did not need an OHV sticker since it has plates on them and not considered an OHV. Here is a link to help you decide it you need one or not. Hope it helps. www.azgfd.com/off-highway-vehicle/ohv-frequently-asked-questions/

    @EmanM45 Год назад

    Are any of areas you show friendly to a small travel trailer or is a single vehicle best? I am heading to Quartzsite soon and will be stopping along the way. From Ohio through Tennessee, Arkansas, Texas, New Mexico, And then of course Arizona.Thanks

    I still use my KLR 650 and put it on the back of my 35 ft class A. Trying to find a better way to haul it. i dont want to use a trailer. I did find a neat lift mount that does not use a ramp from " adventure van mans " girlfriend RUclips chanel BUT it has a weight limit and my KLR is 40 lbs to heavy for it. Just thought i would share this info with you so you coud haul your 250 without the need for a ramp.

    • @DispersedCamperMan
      @DispersedCamperMan  Год назад

      I like the ramp for my 250 so far. I wish I could us the ramp for my KLR also, but the trailer is going to have to do for now.
