  • Leaving West Virginia the real question is if the water will be too high! Along the way I run into downed trees, a disobedient drone, and several nice people. Onto the official TAT route and into North Carolina for me!
    Hello!
    I'm Brady, AKA Mountainman, I've been a soldier, ski bum, police officer, government worker, photographer, and all around nomad. Now I travel on my motorcycle, make videos, and share them with the world. Along the way I do dumb stuff off road, camp, fly drones, take pictures, learn about culture and history and do my best to take you with me.
    In early 2022 I set off on my motorcycle Yennefer (2021 Tenere 700) for an adventure with no set destination or timeline. Come along with me and let’s see what will happen as I try to ride until I can't.
    Bike: Yamaha Tenere 700
    Luggage: Mosko Moto Scout Panniers, Backcountry Duffle, and Hood tankbag
    Navigation: Carpe Iter Tablet and Drive Mode Dashboard 2
    Cameras: GoPro Hero 11, Hero 9, GoPro Max, GoPro Hero 8, Skydio 2, DJI Mavic Air 2
    Gear: Adventure Spec Jacket/Armor/Gloves/Pants/Base Layers, Alpinestars Toucan boots, Arai XD4.

    I gotta admit the drone footage was cool. Short lived but I felt your pain, I have the Mavic 2

    You were through my neck of the woods around Marion! It was cool seeing you ride the routes I've ridden for years. There are some routes I'd change around here to add more dirt . If you're ever in the area again and want to detour, I have some recommendations!

    My bucket list ride... Grab the Cross PA Adventure Trail to the northern end of the MABDR, take the MABDR down to Damascus, VA, then grab the TAT. I, for one, am enjoying that you started your "TAT" on parts of the MABDR. I was also thinking the same thing about your vest... body armor. What armor are you wearing under your riding jersey? I'm trying to figure out good hot weather gear.

      I'm using the Tech-Air Offroad.

      @@MeerkatADV ah, I thought the airbags were separate. I was an 11B, so you have to cut me some slack 😂

      This was 1-3 of MABDR and a little of NC TAT.

    Love your videos, and I am a little surprised you don’t have way more subscribers now.
    I noticed you’ve been running the same tablet for a while. Which one is it, what software do you run, and would you buy it again?

    • @MeerkatADV

      Carpe Iter V4, Drive Mode Dashboard 2, and yes absolutely though there are better tablets out there now to run the program.
