“TrailRecon”
Previously on my Nevada adventure I took you along as I met up with my 2 good buddies, Tom and Scott and we headed off deep into the Eastern Nevada back country. During our exploration we were rewarded with incredible scenery, traveled over 80 miles of remote trails, found a beautiful camp…

Im loving the look of your gladiator
This was a great video.
As far as those jets go, you were almost directly east of Groom Lake. I’d love to know what kind of jets those were. Of course they could have been from other bases, but I can dream can’t I? 😊
That first aid kit is pretty cool. But you should add a pad with a few 9-line forms. or at least a civilian version. Forest Service fire side has a civ version of a 9 line which is an awesome thing as it helps people calm down in an emergency and write down what is going on so when transmitting to an emergency responder they can get the whole picture to determine what aid resources are needed.
As for that old oil can. USFS (and BLM too I think) are required to survey and protect items that are 50 years old and older. So, yep that old beer can your friend threw out the window as a teenager is now an 'arc' site. Many times the feds literally protect actual can dump garbage, but will tear down historical cabins. It's a shame. It is stilll interesting what artifacts one can find in the wood, but more often than not it's just garbage. However, even garbage can help paint a picture of what was going on in that area 50-100 years ago so it's still helpful for historical records. It's even more sad that intact cabins and things in the middle of nowhere are recorded but kept 'secret' for obvious reasons of people steeling and destroying. But it's pretty sad those sites essentially just rot away.
The railroad are big bullies. Out here, they literally force their hand against the feds and prevent even firefighters from doing their job due to locked gates at times.
Brad, what a great video! Even though I'm currently in Greece I felt like I was there with you..
Good story lotta good tips next time if you bring Tom bring bubble wrap just joking I like the first aid kit😆👍
Nice job on the first aid kit
Sounds like that “Sherrif” is bought and paid for.
I love the first aid kit and the effort to educate. Why not make it red and standout? There is no reason to be tactical in a civilian environment and making it a standout color better serves its ability to be noticed in an emergency situation.
Excellent video. Great Med bag. Chest seals??
This is for Tom, so Brad you can read the other comments I’m sure they’re way better than this one!
Tom you need better friends that’ll make sure you don’t kill yourself! I can confidently say I’ve never had a friend get bit by a rattle snake or break their arm. I can tell Brad you’re my friend now if you need. Next video just wink 3 times and I’ll send help!
@trailrecon what is the brand of your red seat cover? It’s look very good
With all the railroads money they may want to place a sign with a warning.’’ROAD CLOSED 30 MILES AHEAD’’……but NOOOOOO.
I wonder if an old flood washed a lot of that stuff around from a camp way back in the day. Some of those tress look broken and cut so its is quite a cool mystery!
It's good to see and refresh safety and first aid.
Make me remember my EMT training from way back 30 yrs ago.
What light bar are you running?
Brad, it may have been asked already, but how did your truck pull with the new lift and wheels/tires? What was your new mpg with the new setup? As always, great video, and I look forward to seeing your next one! All the best!
They are called tailings, not trailings.
Hey Brad kits looking good… couple suggestions Velcro back panel that allows you to grab quickly from stored location. The other thing might consider is lanyard or packet to store the CATs so they don’t pop off.. keep up the good work love the videos
👍
Back in the olden day, before plastics took the world over, oil can spouts were metal and had a sharp knife blade on them that punched through the metal lid and held them in place so you could pour oil without spilling a drop. Seems like that style was still in use in the 1970s? Were you on part of the old Lincoln Trail?
I’ve offended wondered that breathing trail dust out exploring with my buddies all day could lead to a modern day version of silicosis.
👍👍
Great video. Really liking the sprinkling of first aid content. Definitely an area overlooked by many when planning for this type of trip. And agreed on the people that lived and worked in those mining towns… a different breed. I lived in the heart of SW CO mining country for ~20 yrs and constantly marveled at what they did.
You too ma drive from beaver dam or saline Utah to caliente via Panaca wich is amazing and caliente via rainbow canyon is even better
If Delmar had 1500 people, and 300 died of silicosis…that's 1 in 5. Yes John Delmar's $150K investment made him very wealthy, but it cost the laborers dearly. That is the conclusion. That said, I'd bet the soils of Delmar and down its canyons are pretty toxic.
Thanks for sharing this. What an amazing trip!
I enjoy visiting Delamar – the most productive mining operation in NV. On the east side of Caliente is a cool trail called Caliente Tower Road, which winds around to Elgin, NV. Plus, there's a secret spot off hwy 93 some call Stonehenge Replica. It's on private property, so you need permission to check it out – it entails a quick check in and check out process. After that, you'll see some old train cars, reconditioned old fire trucks and farm equipment, a labyrinth, a mini zoo and a modern take on Stonehenge. It's amazing because it's out in the middle of nowhere! Just don't tell anyone. It's a secret. 🙂
Any bears in that area one needs to worry about?
You should publish some of your favorite camp recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert s.
Really enjoying you adding the quick medical troubleshoots. And love the ghost town.
Delamar is a great trip, South and just a bit west is a large dry lake bed the air force occasionally uses for dirt runway training. You are right, they are beautiful sunsets from Delamar. Great stargazing also. Also, Caliente is a great and friendly town, I don't live there, but I do like to visit on adventures when in that area. Good video.
Thank You Tom& Scott!!!! You made the trip Interesting. Love to learn from you gentlemen…
Brad excellent company as always!!!!!! Looking forward to seeing your next Adventure!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just curious how many fractured bones you encountered in your Naval career?????
