Great info Jake, though I have about 20,000 miles of trail riding with horse, I've never done an overnight trail ride. It's on my bucket list. Thanks for all you do to promote the horse and especially the Mustang! Lee
Thank you Jake. This was so well put together and I learned so much from it. I had so many questions till I watched this. You probably have helped a lot of people and their horses. Thank you❤
This was an incredibly informative video, and while I won’t be taking a long distance ride ANY time soon I do love increasing my knowledge. I always wondered how you navigated.
So glad that you’re continuing with your RUclips channel. Thank you for sharing this video and I’m sure that this information will help others whether they are on a short trip on horseback or a longer journey.
Thanks for the tutorial😊 I admit I wondered how you managed certain things, for example, I knw you couldn't bring an anvil with you. But there is one piece of equipment you neither used nor mentioned and it worried me: a helmet for your head ...not as suave as a cowboy hat maybe but you only have one brain. ..and the most skilled horseman can take an unexpected tumble....please consider protecting the very fine noodle of yours 😊
Thank you Jake that was very informative. I was always curious as to what items a person would need to have with them when going cross country packing. I'm glad you are still putting out content, I will continue to follow you channel. Give your horse's a hug for me.
Love this video Jake. The gear you use shows how much you care about your horses. I know nothing about horses other than they are beautiful animals. But even I can see your love for your horses.❤
Very nice work, Jake! I realize this was mainly a horse video. I recommend a cheap western fiction book to read when the thoughts rattling around between your ears won't quit at night. A few pages to start a fire early in the morning or to head into the bushes also work.
As somebody who has trekked over 20,000km in Australia I found your tips interesting. One thing I would advise differently is that I prefer not using figure 8 hobbles. My preference for hobbles is to use leather cuffs joined by chains. This is because the chains rattle when the horse is moving and in the middle of the night you can hear if your horses are leaving, which direction and how fast they are moving. I have no experience with a GPS system, but I question how useful they are when you need to figure out the best diversions. Too many times I've had to alter my plans because of such things as drought or bushfires or emergencies etc. I've relied on detailed maps to get me out of trouble. Does a GPS device have the same benefits? Can a GPS indicate the steepness of a climb or descent? Can it indicate the quality of the terrain? Can it guide you through an area that has no tracks or roads and only bushland to negotiate? Thanks for any suggestions.
I used these little multi plugin battery packs. I will show them in a future video. I also filmed everything with my iPhone and a camera drone so I didn’t have much to charge.
So my seminary lesson i am teaching this week is Life Preperation lesson 175, Setting Goals . Give students two minutes to create a plan that could help someone travel to that location. The plan could include things such as the appropriate mode of transportation, a detailed route, and expenses. Ha guess who I will be mentioning
Great video Jake! I would suggest a headlight that has an option for red light, I have found that when riding in the dark the horses lose some perception with the white light from a headlight at times.
Yes, aside from starting it up I typically used everything on it through my phones Bluetooth. If my phone died I could still use the garmin itself for basic navigation.
I just finised watching the entire series and commend you on your journey. I was wondering, where would someone find a bucaroo straw hat similar to what you were? If you are ever in the Vernal area let me know and we will go for a ride.
Thank you for the info mate! Love what you’ve done and what you do in general. Hats off brother 🤙 your adventures are incredible. One thing I will mention, although the bedroll is really well made, and I am aware it got gifted to you too - the Teflon coating, it’s a no-no. A big one at that. Look into it a little, a touch of research will go a long way. I don’t mean to be that guy, but it’s genuinely very unsafe brother and you should ask the company to maybe change the way they waterproof their bedrolls but I’d get rid of that and just get an untreated one and maybe wax it? It’s a trade off I know, but better to be alive and healthy, rather than riddled with carcinogenic crap that not only leaks on to your clothes and body but your animals and surrounding areas too. Look it up brother I promise you’ll change your mind 🙏 that stuff is poison ☠️
You forgot to put your gun on this list, something on your person, something large enough. Caliber, you can defend against a Bear Mountain lion and something. You can also put snake shot in. And Hat sunglasses.
Been getting ready for my trip across Montana ! I’m actually making my stakes when this popped up ! Can’t wait to head out
Good luck

I was wondering while watching your videos. Why you didnt get lost. The gps comes in hand when you are out in the back country.
Love your videos. 🐎❤️

Great video Jake. I've been following you for a year now and really hope you get the recognition you deserve. A big hug from the Basque Country.

That’s a good one!
These are the type of videos I'm always looking for. Thanks Jake!
This was very interesting, Jake! You were well prepared! Love from Pennsylvania 💕🌷🐻
Great video, Jake, and my son just received his Year of the Mustang T shirt and I made a donation for you.
Thanks so much!!
You get to Wyoming again I believe you can never be too prepared ❤
T paper. A few feminine pads. They make great items to put over wounds before wrapping the wound

Yes it can …
Good to hear from you, Jake! ❤
How did you charge all your tech? And what type of camera did you use to film your journey?
I used these little multi plugin battery packs. I will show them in a future video. I also filmed everything with my iPhone and a camera drone so I didn’t have much to charge.
Awesome information. I had heard great things about canvas cutters. Thanks on the information for that...
Way to keep fighting for that W. 🎉🎉 Congratulations Cyclone Men🥳🥳
This is a keeper- so much good info. Thank you Jake

I love this!!
Incredible information. You had great tools for your journey.
I’m Hooked on this channel! ❤
Good info. You pretty much thought of everything. I was wondering about your sleeping arrangements when you weren’t in a cabin or lodge.
Great video Jake! I would suggest a headlight that has an option for red light, I have found that when riding in the dark the horses lose some perception with the white light from a headlight at times.
For sure! That’s a point I should have made. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing. Good information. I have that exact black Classic Equine saddle pad for one of my mares. 🙂
Thanks for the gear dump. If you don't know what works, who does?
Good fire starter
Terrific video! Was your garmin connected (via Bluetooth?) to broadcast to your phone screen, especially when there was no phone service?
Yes, aside from starting it up I typically used everything on it through my phones Bluetooth. If my phone died I could still use the garmin itself for basic navigation.
I just finised watching the entire series and commend you on your journey. I was wondering, where would someone find a bucaroo straw hat similar to what you were? If you are ever in the Vernal area let me know and we will go for a ride.
Sun body hats. Real nice hat for the price.
@@jakeharvath Thanks!

So how did you plan for taking the back roads? I know maps doesn’t take in account for back roads, so how did you do it
did you not carry anything for personal protection (beyond the knife) or too concerned about the complexities that come with that?
I sure did. RUclips’s just already hard on me for that sort of thing but it’s an absolute must have with horses in the backcountry.
Jake who made your chaps?
Naplin custom leather. Check them out!
Didn't you worry about not having swivels on the tie out lines? I guess there is not the risk of twisting like on high lines??
They do have swivels connecting the ropes to the chains.
Chapstick.
Must have condensation issues with that sleeping system
👍👌✋❤️💪🇵🇱
