    Guys gotta be careful camping under dead trees….. general public should know trees are one of the TOP killers in wildland fire fighting. Seen a lot of sketchy camp sites before and this is one of them 😂 Lil bit of wind or water and those trees are coming down. Would hate to see a video commemorating one of y’all’s lives instead of some rad fishing! 👊🏼❤️

    I am a North Eastern Utah native, and have spent my entire life living at the base of the Uinta mountains. It truly is some of the greatest country on earth. My great great grandfather George Washington Walkup was the first Ranger in the Ashley National Forest and can be seen in the first black and white photo posted in your video. Keep up the great content and ethical camping/fishing!

    Came here for the fishing, but stayed because of your stressed importance of protecting these lands! I appreciate the subtle points around checking regulations, protecting the land, staying on trail, leave no trace, leave better then you found it, and drowning your fires! All these beautiful rivers, streams and ranges would be in jeopardy of being closed or destroyed if not protected and respected from humans. Thank you for reminding those who know and educating those who don't about the importance of these rules / expectations. We need to hold each other accountable so we can all continue to enjoy these places and ensure the wildlife can thrive. Also, glad those widow maker trees didn't hit you at night. I always check for dead trees like that before setting up camp. Super lucky and glad everyone was okay. Tight Lines!

    Utah native here...Was fishing below a beaver dam on the west fork of the Bear River in the high Unitas years ago during what I thought to be a passing storm when the dam gave way and swept me down stream. Almost had my ticket punched that day. The level of caution I now exercise in those mountains borders on paranoia. Safe journeys fellas!

I can still hear my scoutmaster's voice "Dont ever pitch your tent beneath the shadow of a widowmaker!". So glad you all made it out of there safe and weren't in camp when it fell.

    Another Utah native here and want to thank you for the beautiful photography. I've fished the Uintas for many decades and there are a lot of spots I still want to explore. Hint: I now concentrate on fishing the lakes of the Uintas as the fish size and species available is better than in the rivers. There are brook trout, rainbows, cutthroats, tigers, and golden trout plus grayling to be caught and often (in select lakes) you can catch trout that are much larger than are found in the streams. Thanks again for the adventure.

    Been fishing those 3 rivers for 28 years. Been camping up there for 45 years. My Dad helped build one of the "buildings" that is just up the road from one of those rivers. The fishing now is nothing like it used to be. I have a picture on my wall that is identical to one of the scenes from this. That part of the river used to be stellar. I would catch and release 60-80 fish out of a half mile stretch of that river over a weekend. Sadly, there are so many people up in this area now that the fishing is only ok. It has a lot of pressure. I miss the good old days when nobody was up there. Was fun watching you all catch some nice fish for those rivers. My favorite to catch is the brookies.

    Cool video. Don't let these guys fool you. You can drive a truck right to their camp spot. No need for a utv. They took a backwards way to get there. The river is usually high in June. It drops a lot as the summer goes on. I grew up fishing this river. It gets overfished quite a bit.
    Glad no one was in the tent when that tree fell. That could have been bad.

    Great video, I felt like I was in Utah with the four of you. Beautiful fish and scenery and very glad you guys are all ok. Looking forward to your next fishing adventure.
