    First to comment, glad to see the latest video. I thought maybe the bears or mosquitoes or black flies, etc. got you guys.

    Very well done. Most vids have numerous minutes of watching someone talk. Yours has a nice blend of actual scenery and limited face time. Beautiful video. Hope you are safe and enjoying your adventures. Peace to you both

    I'm glad the bear didn't fancy a Jenny burger, it sure was too close for comfort😂What a beautiful ride, some of the scenery was just breathtaking👌

    Hola...I really enjoyed this video. I just got back from riding my Velo Orange Mine Velo Neutrino in Alaska for three weeks and Alaska was spectacular but like Jenny said...the bears are everywhere and my anxiety was through the roof. Great video and glad nothing happen with those bears. I have a hard time determining to ride past them or stop so I have done a bit of both. Thank you for posting this great video. Cheers.

    Wow!! Great episode and good to see your latest update.
    How do you get on sleeping and camping with all the bears around? Do you have to store all your food well away ? Keep pedaling and loving life, an incredible experience. Thanks for sharing 🌎🖐️🚴

      We were camping in grizzly/brown bear territory for several months, and it was always unnerving. We wore bear spray holstered on our hips at all times. Carrying both firearms and bear spray would be great, but that's not an option in Canada, so we relied on just the bear spray and luckily never had to use it. At camp, we would cook our food 100 meters away from our tent, then store our food in an Ursack another 100 meters away from both where we cooked and where our tent was setup. We were lucky to never have a really unpleasant encounter with any of the bears we saw, but we were definitely on edge the whole time we were in grizzly country!

      @@RollingExistence Thank you for the reply. One day we hope to go on a long cycle tour and videos like yours give us hope and inspiration that these dreams are possible. We love your calm way of sharing your adventures, always a treat to watch. Thank you.
      Can I ask what machine you use to edit your videos. We are looking into something light weight and rugged that will last for this purpose

    You have great music for a cycling video. Most of the cycling videos I've watched have poor choices that distract. Yours is nice and mellow. The bears are the scariest part for me. But I wouldn't want to see a wolf either. I appreciate you sharing details like water and food stops. I plan to do this route starting next June. Your videos are very helpful.

    Hey!!! It's been a minute. New vid is super. Watching this as Smokey the Bear is turning 80!!❤ Good to see all his cousins coming out to greet you😂.
    Here's a little news update for you. Lael Wilcox is trying to break the record of circumnavigating the 🌎 a total of 18000 miles. She landed in Anchorage 6th of August and is heading south. She may be passing you on the road. Say Hi

    Nice to see you moving again. I have been following you for a couple of years now. Perhaps you will be in Vancouver soon? I'm not sure where you are at the moment. I leave for an African bike tour in Sept, so reach out if you are in town before then.

    Finally got a chance to watch this!
    What's the correct protocol for a bear encounter like that? Stand your ground silently or maybe shout and make a noise? Make yourself look big?
    Hope all is well, dude. Greetings from Hua Hin. 🤘

    I'd be interested to know.

    Just curious, how do you deal with the carbon that gets on your cooking pots. Do you clean it off each time or just use a separation bag method somehow or put up with it everywhere?

    • @RollingExistence
      @RollingExistence  4 месяца назад +2

      We just use a thin plastic produce bag to wrap the sooty pots up. It's really hard to clean off so we don't bother. The soot is annoying but it's better than having to find and pay for white gas.

      @@RollingExistence I was wondering the same thing. I would find it tedious having to start a fire with sticks. What if there's no sticks? Does it boil water just as fast as gas?

    • @RollingExistence
      @RollingExistence  4 месяца назад +1

      @@billweberx It's not as fast as gas, but it's pretty quick - about 8 minutes to boil a liter vs 3-4 minutes for a gas stove. There really aren't many places with no sticks, that hasn't been an issue. Starting a fire is definitely an acquired skill, but you eventually get good enough to be able to do it in a few minutes. We always had a gas stove as well, but we saved it for very wet days or nights when we got to camp late and just wanted to eat as fast as possible. The wood burning stove saves a lot of money on gas, on our entire 2.5 year trip we only bought a few liters of white gas. It's also nice to have basically unlimited hot water, you never have to worry about running out of fuel. The wood burning stove only weighs 5.5oz/155g and it nests into one of our pots, so it's great to have along on a long trip.

      @@RollingExistence FYI, the Jetboil Flash will boil a liter of water in 100 sec. But it's only really good for boiling water.
      I have definitely been in areas that are all rock, but during the day of hiking, you will at some point pass through areas with trees and you could collect enough for the evening dinner. Maybe lash a bundle of sticks to the back of the pack. I like the idea. I may try it out on my next bicycle tour.
