Thanks for all the great questions guys! I really enjoyed this one :) hope it offers some good insight and behind the scenes for you. Take care and catch ya soon!
It's incredible to me, that the difficulty you described in getting those shots (particularly where you were riding away and going back to pick up the camera) were every bit as difficult as I imagined them. It's impressive you went back later to get the pick-up drone shots. They definitely add to the film series and show off the island. Adds a lot of layers to the story. Can't wait to see what you do next, Josh.
@@mikedigirolamo8541 haha committed to the cause...or just crazy?? It was a lot of effort 😂 but yeah it does make a difference to the quality of the production and that's something I'm really focusing on at the moment - trying to make the best stuff I can, have a solid portfolio and then see where we go from there! Thanks for the support and the great questions 🙏🏼
just came across this video ,,brilliant Josh loved it very much ,,,i just spent 3 days out on gilli ringitt ,,minimal gear ,,2 pkts of noodles 6 litres of water a swag and mozzie net ,,there is no water on that island nor are there any coconut trees ,,awe yeah had a fishing rod with an array of lures but as you know not one fish to be had ,,made a solar still ,lite my fire using a flint and a bit of cotton wool ,but there was plenty of fire wood and a great amount of sampah as you could imagine ,,had 4 flip flop upgrades as i ventured around the island trying to catch a fish ,,ended up getting one coconut from a passing fisherman so that was like gold ,,anyway keep up the good work mate ,hope to catch up oneday soon ,cheers from Browny,,
Cheers Browny! I think we met briefly at Temptations cafe right? If not, then another legend called Browny haha. Great to bump into you and cheers for taking the time to watch my videos mate, it's very much appreciated and glad to hear you enjoyed it. Sounds like you had a great adventure yourself over on Gili Ringitt! I'm hoping to do something similar again next month. Keep exploring and hopefully see you around
@@JoshEdwardsFilms yeah mate that was me ,,if u guys are looking for sum excellent local or western food come to my wife's warung called Indo bbq and grill main Rd in Duduk ,also has cold beers and G8 juices .cheers for now
@@craigbrown2978 good on ya mate, much appreciated! Sounds good - I will try swing by at the some point. Keep on enjoying Lombok and living the good life
Thank you so much for your words around helping create a world where females can travel solo as safely as males, we’re all humans after all. Having said that a male family member said they feel bad when walking past solo females in rural places because the female may feel scared and as a result they avoid their favourite walk. So, I think overall it’s really important to acknowledge that most people no matter the gender are good people.
Yeah I think ultimately if you're a dude you have a responsibility to ensure women and girls feel safe around you and if you can help facilitate their safety while travelling, you absolutely should. I'm very lucky and privileged!
Really enjoyed the series. You're an accomplished cycle tourer now. If u don't mind, I'd just like to reinforce a couple of important things you spoke of for anyone interested in doing their own tour 1. Knowing flat distance & hill distance capabilities 2. Knowing hydration & electrolyte replacement, especially in tropical/hot environments 3. Less is best 4. Knowing basic bicycle mechanics is very important & easy to learn via RUclips tutorials 5. All tourers in new environments have safety concerns. Find accom/camp before dark, try to keep ur bike in ur room. Be nice/smile Thanks for the series I hope it inspires someone to take on their own tour 🙂
Thanks for watching Brad! Appreciate the kind words 🙏🏼 and these points are spot on - great advice for anyone looking to do their own tour for the first time. It was a great learning curve for me haha
Haha dude the rainy season in Lombok can be quite bad...lots of cloud and very grey 😂 but it makes everything very green and beautiful! Thanks for all the questions mate, appreciate it. Hope the answers were good 🙏🏼
Hi Josh! I just found you here and love this cycle adventure around Lombok! You are witty, adventurous and I loved every episode. I am also loving your Notes from Nepal series too. I am so glad I found you, Josh! Keep going - you are great!
Hey Katie, thanks for taking the time to watch and for leaving such a kind comment 😁🙏 I appreciate the support! I'll keep doing what I'm doing and see where it leads haha. It's great to hear people like yourself enjoy the adventures...got plenty more plans in the works
@@JoshEdwardsFilms I am inspired too....maybe I will see you out in the world some day, you definitely got me dreaming! I love the adventure of it all! Cheers to life!
Just checked the cost of Insta 360 SE. From Amazon. $389.00!! I thought it would cost thousands. I think I will start cycling around my gorgeous state, Oregon, USA. Just kidding. I used to love cycling but now I am 77+ so most of my travel is via RUclips. So glad I found you. Thanks.
Thanks for the kind words :) I've heard Oregon is rather beautiful. Glad that you've been able to indulge in some travel while following along with my adventures! And yes the Insta360 is a great deal considering what it's capable of
Hey Josh just watched your QA enjoyed,the comment about the old fart out side the supermart wished he had done more when he was younger. iam an old fart of just a young 80 yrs , and love cycling just done the malin mizen ride the full length of my island Ireland and a few others besides . my next is to do the wild atlantic way which is the west coast of Ireland a distance of 2400 km . you are very adept at film makingwhich i am not editing is not my forte so very short stops and starts , which will not be as entertaining as yours . im going to the states next week and then setting on my final escapade in the second week of may , so wish me luck , i really enjoyed your presentations and your outlook on life keep it up , its great that young people are being more responsible about our planet than our age group ever were .Denis
Hi Denis, what a lovely comment. Thanks for taking the time to watch and write that! I think it's fantastic that at 80 years you're still cycling - that gives me something to look forward to in the future :) I know it comes fast. Thank you for the support, and the very best of luck with your adventures! I think no matter your skill level with filmmaking, it's always good to record little snippets as well as take photos - just for your personal memories if nothing else.
Hi Josh. We are loving your videos and seriously considering retiring to Lombok but I don't suppose you know if proof of the covid vaccinations are required as a lot of countries seem to have relaxed this policy now. Many thanks (John & Sian UK)
@@JoshEdwardsFilms Thanks Josh. We have decided to pay a bit more off our mortgage and are hoping the restrictions will be lifted soon as looking at the global map there isn't anywhere else other than Indonesia/Philippines that we are interested in. Our aim is for summer 2025, plus I will be a tad closer also to state pension age 👍
For sure! I wouldn't say Malaysia is high on the list, but it'd be cool to do it that way. I've been to KL and really enjoyed, so I'd like to see Penang next..
Haha maybe? I don't know how RUclips works exaftly exactly. But it's not about views :) just makes it easier for people to browse and find what they want 😁
Hi Josh,I completed my journey around Lombok(made Desert Pt)then went by Ferry to Surabaya,from there cycled to Malang and continued to Bunyuwangi,onto and around Bali,approximately 1500km.I relied on my phone for directions,that was mostly ok ,except when going through Cities,had to stop regularly to make sure I was on the correct road,did you use a cycling computer?
Amazing effort Peter, congrats! Hope you enjoyed your adventure. I also used my phone - just had the Komoot app open to reference and check when I needed. Of course in Lombok it's a little bit different because there aren't so many big cities to navigate
@@JoshEdwardsFilms thanks Josh,it was amazing,so impowering,even when really difficult,still felt inspired to carry on.looking forward to heading in East direction to NTT next time ,sampai jumpa lagi..

You are an accomplished one-man-band. I would like it if you would do a Q and A about climbing Mt. Rinjani please.
Thank you very much 🙏 I may circle back around to this. Most likely doing a Q&A on the Annapurna series soon!

Hi John & Sian. Yes, as far as I know, Indonesia does still check for covid vaccinations :) hope this helps!

Would you consider do round 2 bike touring in Malaysia?
For sure! I wouldn't say Malaysia is high on the list, but it'd be cool to do it that way. I've been to KL and really enjoyed, so I'd like to see Penang next..
Isn't skipping part of video not count as view??

Where are you? It's been a while you don't post video..
Hey! Working on plenty of new stuff :) unfortunately it takes a bit of time, but hopefully some new uploads soon
Try climbing in ungaran mountain sir
Sounds interesting! I'll have to google it :) thank you for the recommendation 🙏
