You should meet up with Andrew from Desert Drifter if you enjoy finding ruins and learning more about the ancient people of the desert. It's right up his alley!
I’m a lunatic history buff as well as an outdoorsman. This hit home for me thank you Devin!! So amazing that humans haven’t destroyed this all completely over the years. We are so destructive to history us a human race. I admire the respect you gave these structures.
Marty and I talked about how the cowboys that left all that stuff there could have easily destroyed all the ruins around them, but they chose not to. Glad that was the case. Thank you for watching and glad you enjoyed it! 😊
I think this is the best video you have done! The video and audio were both incredible. The trip was amazing and you did a great job capturing it, thank you!
This made me want so badly to see more of these types of places. There's nothing I've experienced that was quite like stumbling onto ruins like that on a hike through Southern Utah. These are truly unforgettable experiences. Thanks for sharing it, Devin!
That area is really special! The human history in there is mind blowing to say the least. Our exit had a sketchy ledge just like that on the way out of the loop I did down there last time I visited. There are a few more places I need to see down there. Looks like water was not a problem. You saw some great structures and rock art! Making me wanna go back to the desert! 🏜️
Great video Devin! The work they did was amazing, especially in the areas they were in. The waterfalls are beautiful, glad you got to high ground and off that ledge. The rain makes the desert even more stunning.
The cameras did such a good job Devin! Looks like an iPhone, GoPro, X4 or R1, and something else??? And I am blown away that the audio was as good as it was! Glad the first half was seeing such amazing history and the last half, though “adventurous” and thrilling, was safe enough for you two to make it out❤
Thank you Jarrad! I used the OSMO Pocket 3, AcePro and X4 with a few iPhone clips in there too during the rain. I am really impressed with the Pocket 3 with the Mic 2 transmitter. It was an incredible trip, a true highlight of 2024!
Absolutely nothing being built today will be even remotely standing in 700 years!! Amazing!! The actually building isnt the most impressive part, getting the materials up to the site is what's impressive!!!
Years ago I had studied archaeology so I am very much enjoying that you are showing us these amazing ruins. It’s humbling to accept our small part in history. It’s amazing to realize that the vast amounts of beautiful digital arts and records we easily create now will not endure so long into human history as those petroglyphs carved into stone. I also follow Marty’s channel so it’s great to see you both adventuring! Next you need to go on an epic paddle up in the Canada or ADK!
Great video. That's a trip how well preserved the structures and art are. Dang that ledge looked really sketchy especially with the rain. Awesome views. Thanks for sharing.
@@BackcountryExposure Thank you for treating the remains with the respect they deserve. My Grandma was of the Pueblo People. Seeing her ancestral lands and artifacts really effected me. Such a beautiful way of life. ❤
What a unique and beautiful adventure! I’m thinking the zigzag lines with the two people, might just possibly be the first signs of Charlie Brown 😂 Thank you for sharing these spectacular treks with all of us!
Even a little bit of elevation off the ground, enough distance to protect oneself from predators and rainwater was needed to survive. Away from snakes, away from the eyes of other men, sheltered from the weather, the phrase that keeps coming back to me is: good enough.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing this adventure with us. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the ancient structures. Honestly I get the same feelings exploring these areas of southern Utah as I did exploring civil war battlefields/cemeteries/sites in the south growing up. Just trying to envision what their lives were like is a special connection to them.
The box is what we call a "bear box" .. It was used to store EVERYTHING that would fit inside it, that might be attractive to anything from rodents to bears. This particular camp was used by range riders as a "line camp".. There are other camps not far away but at least a half days ride, that are in this line. If you look closely, you will see the brand of the riders on the cliffs. Some left their names. Most of the artifacts are from as late as 1930's when these ranches still rode lines.. Many of the ruins were pilfered by these ranch hands, for extra money, as far back as 1880s .., selling the artifacts found in them to curio seekers and tourists ...
Devin, my insta360 x4 just came last night, yay!!! Couple of questions, please. Do you always shoot in 8k or do you use the 5.7k+ mode? Robhk who I have been following since I bought the iPad Pro 2018… back in 2018, says the 8k is the full 360 degrees so when he crops in to make shots that work with his other single lens shooters the resolution decreases. Using the 8k gives you the best options to stay closer to a cropped 4k. Does the 5.7k+ option still give you good shots when cropped in? Also in single lens mode do you ever use the free frame mode? Does it help in post editing or publishing to reframe?
Why do anthropologists all but hide the history of why these people had to resort to living in forts built on cliffs? Who threatened them so much they hid in the hills? This was pre-Columbian so it had to be other natives. Who were the aggressors?
You stand too close to the structures while wearing a backpack. Please don't do that. What if there were some kind of distraction, causing your instincts to kick in and cause you to turn quickly?
My favorite video of yours to date. Anytime I'm nearby the remnants of ancient people in the desert I too am humbled. Beautiful places with a beautiful history. Thank you for sharing your experience in these special places.
What an amazing trip my friend!!!! Thank you so much for sharing your part of the world with me. This was just absolutely amazing!
An absolute pleasure hiking with you, Marty! The teamwork on the trip was huge!
You should meet up with Andrew from Desert Drifter if you enjoy finding ruins and learning more about the ancient people of the desert. It's right up his alley!
I've watched about all of his content, his channel is amazing!

Thank you for sharing an actual trip video, can’t get enough of these
This trip was amazing, and to have it go so well vs my previous Capitol Reef trip that was cut short.
Appreciate you watching!
Thank you for showing the detail and all the close ups of the ruins, etc. Was a wonderful video and enjoyed it very much!!!😊
Thank you! It’s hard to get it all on camera and convey it that way vs seeing in person. Just incredible.
I think this is the best video you have done! The video and audio were both incredible. The trip was amazing and you did a great job capturing it, thank you!
Ah thank you so much! I truly appreciate you spending time to watch, and glad you enjoyed it.
Incredible video. My sons love Native American history. Need to get out there soon. Great work!!
Thank you! So much to see in this part of the country.
I love these adventure videos!
😊😊
Love the trip videos, especially when you go to the desert.
Super cool ruins! Palms gettin sweaty on that rock face ascent! 😮

Thank you for sharing this fascinating & historical, real life outdoor adventure in a remote part of Utah.
Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada
Awesome video; really enjoyed it!
Thank you for taking time to watch. 😊

Love the jungle camo tent, nice video
Thank you!
Fantastic adventure. Thanks so much for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very cool to see those preserved so well. Beautiful area.
So awesome!

@@anninwhack1998 thank you very much! Marty and I have talked about me getting up his way to do some paddling!
Hello! I am from Toronto,Ontario .❤ Greetings!
wauw what great to see this! 🤩
Great video. That's a trip how well preserved the structures and art are. Dang that ledge looked really sketchy especially with the rain. Awesome views. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! It was absolutely a highlight of the year for all the trips I've done. Really appreciate you spending time to watch. :)
Love this type of adventure!
We had a really good time!

@@pyronymph-868 what an incredible, resilient life they lived. Respecting that is so important. Thank you for taking time to watch. 😊
Good stuff
More content like this!
@@TommyandJackie thank you!
Should definitely do a pack rafting trip together

Even the ruins are fairly recent. Pueblo 2-3 1,000 years old. But, there are sites in this area that date back to 10,000 BC.
Yeah the history of this area as a whole is amazing.
@ For sure! I need to get back down there.

I agree! Thank you!
For me, seeing the hand prints is a completely different level of connection. Just incredible after decades of time passed.
you are looking at a guard shack. look out. cool.

Ahhh very cool! Thank you for sharing that info!
Awesome
Thank you!
Thanks for this vision quest into the elements. A sandstone canyon in the rain and light is an artist's inspiration.

Should make a video with desert drifter
He makes excellent content!
Does the rock get slick when wet or does it retain some grittiness as sedimentary rock?
@@juliomb1 it totally can, especially if it’s got lichen on it.
THIS IS WHERE I USE TO LIVE. BUT I GOT TIRED OF WALKING 30 MILES TO PANHANDLE.
I need to get back to Utah soon.
Yes you do!!
I have a question! How come you guys went to shelter from the storm under a tree?😮
In the desert it’s safer to be under a tree than to go under an overhang of rock with lightning around.
That’s what the title of the video says,”found.”
Hey Marty! I’m in Saint Jean! ( south of Montréal) Where are you from?😊
I'm in the outaouais region.
Are you just following the desert drifter already seen this one?
@@babebful no, I had been planning this trip for at least 3 years. Just coincidence I guess.
its 15% fire pit!
U live in Utah, i have been to many sites that Andrew hits up. If ya dont mind maybe you can hit me up and tell me the location of where this is
I live in Utah
