Amanda, love your adventures! And I have solo’d before… your survival instincts are honed, you challenge yourself, surprise yourself, and if you’re good-natured, you laugh at yourself. The voices in your head tell you you can’t, but you’re capable and careful, and determined. And you do it anyways…. And looking back, it usually adds to the adventure. Ride safe!
Dehydration ALWAYS If you do not have the means to dehydrate your food a tip I use is to get the dehydrated fruit bags from Dollar Store. Get a zippy bag and put a cup of dry oatmeal and a handful of the dehydrated fruit, some coconut milk powder (or your favorite powdered milk) When you are on-site the night before, add water and seal. In the morning you will have creamy oatmeal with plumb juicy fruit. Eat out of the zippy bag, or drop the sealed bag into a pot of boiling water and heat up. Also dehydrate mixed vegies and your desired protein eg plant-based crumbles, plant based chicken or beef threads. Get a bag of Ramon Noodles, add a handful of the dried veggies and protein, and water. If you have a more refined palate add a packet of peanut butter (or the powder) with a little water and make it Pad Thai or Satay flavor.
Adventures… not sure if planning or the doing of one is more fun but I know meeting friends and having unexpected things happen is what makes the memories… and you always have so many to share, keep doing the thing and inspiring us all with your wonderful energy :)
Wow, you are a machine Amanda. Every single little detail and all of the filming, photography, editing on top and all while doing the thing. You are awesome ❤😊🎉
It lived up there for a little while, but it started to really mess up the shape of the brim, so I think I switched back to the duffel loading zone when I got to Florida.
I for one would love to see how you dehydrated your meals yourself. I have traveled over 300,000 miles on my motorcycle camping all over the US and would love to learn to do this.
@@AstheMagpieFlies I was hoping you would be hitting the BMWMOA Rally in Springfield MO inn June, but it does not look like you are going that way. Would be a great place to showcase your channel.
Wow, I'd heard of Hueco Tanks many times and have probably passed it more than once, I'll definitely have to check it out next time! But probably not to camp, yeah that's sketchy AF. Nice to see Guadelupe Mountains NP, the blimp, Marfa, FM170, the Big Bend.... Even though I live thousands of miles from there, it feels like home.
I gotta hand it to you, you ride. You handle all the roughing it so well. I know the great gear you have helps with that but still. Your determination is admirable. Enjoy and safe travels.
Yessss we would love to try out dehydrating home made meals for ourselves! Looking forward to seeing more of your cooking experiments in future videos :D.
I have never dehydrated my own food. I have reheated left overs from an Asian restaurant in camp before. Holy carp was it good, eating some spicy beef as the sun set.
Hello Amanda it was great seeing you at forgotten angels camp out. I am enjoying your video of your trip. Thank you so very much for sharing your video with me.👍❤️❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯
I know this XC ride has long been in the journals as complete so any and all information is carved in stone. You are a very capable biker and nothing I have seen in this installment would cause me to raise a red flag. I have my own ways of staying safe and they have worked for me . Happy travels this summer Amanda. Stay safe… Answering Crew question: as a matter of fact I have a lot of food storage equipment from canning to a dehydrator. I make mostly fruit leather and jerky with the dehydrator. I thought about making food for my trips and dehydrating them, but for the bother and rehydrating process, I find I enjoy Commercially made entrees and I augment that with some side dishes of my own, and now from FTA Tim Collins new cook book. My travel routine when traveling solo is similar to what you do, or at least what you video yourself doing. While food is important, it is not the center attraction of my travels, if it is eatable it is fair game whether at a chain burger place or out of a dehydration bag. If I stay at a place a few days, I have more time to prepare a meal and not just add boiling water to some promise of whats in the bag. The only dehydrated food manufacturer I have had consistently good luck with is Mtn House and for what it is, it is easy, filling and minimal clean up.
I'm just loving this series and your music selection. 🙂 I have not made dehydrated meals for my motorcycle trips. I had done them years ago when I backpacked. I need to break out my backpacker's cookbook and make some meals. I've gotten lazy and have bought readymade ones at the store, but the sodium is astounding!
I just wanted to say thank you for the recommendation (a long time ago) about the hippo hands! My brother and myself two days in the rain with heated grips and dry hands thank you thank you!
I have made my own dehydrated meals. Drying meat so that its doesn't stay like leather is tricky so I usually just get freeze dried stuff. I would love to get a freeze dryer but they are so expensive. Most sauces dehydrate well. I have found a few meals that can be made then dehydrated which makes it a little easier rehydrating.
Right on! For the end screen, I have made my own jerky out of ground Elk, that's a good add in to rice, ramen or mashed taters, but I haven't dehydrated a meal yet. its on my list of things todo. The wife and myself are looking forward to RMR! I was able to get her her own bike, I'll add the info to the tickets if I'm able to!? Stay safe while doing the thing!
I have a friend that has a freeze dryer. She took care of all my food last year for RMR 2021. I did potatoes, carne asada, chicken, onions, peppers, cheese, and breakfast sausage. Loved it.
So needed this. At least a month before it will be fit to camp here. Haven't dyhydrated often but certainly have frozen spaghetti sauce and chilli to thaw out over a weekend.
AZ, absolutely loving this! My favorite part of America, SW TX. Recognized everything from Tombstone to BBRSP. Night sky in SW TX like no other place, eh? Hueco Tanks, Guadeloupe Peaks, Marfa. I'm riding with you in my mind. But I confess, I find myself feeling badly that I probably scared the beejezus out of the girl on the bike I was certain was you at the Fossil Bone Exhibit at BBNP on March 6th. I was chasing her waving my arms.. "AMANDA!! AMANDA!!" Not sure what she was riding, but it demonstrated great acceleration as she was, no doubt, looking in the mirror wondering "What's up with that old guy?" Seriously, wish it had been you and I could have introduced you to the twelve college students with me as "a young woman who is living her life her own way, unafraid to take on new challenges."
OMG I’m having flashbacks of riding those roads last year. Had so much fun in tombstone hanging with the locals. Recognizing all the places in your video. Love riding those middle of nowhere roads along the border. Enjoying this series
Prada Marfa, weird hah? We've been down the same road. Highly recommend El Cosmico campground in Marfa. It has an old school hippie vibe to it plus you need to go out at least one night to the Marfa Lights viewing area. Something everyone should do at least once. End Screen Crew: Cooking is not my thing. Pop top 7 oz Chef Boyardee Beefaroni, tuna pouches, walnuts, apples, pumpkin seeds, raisins, etc.
I absolutely love how I finally understand “living vicariously through other peoples actions” after watching adventures of people like yourself. Thanks again for another awesome “episode” from your journey!!
Good one! Thanks for sharing and a totally awesome camp to finish with! I haven't done dehydrated but typically start trips with individual servings of either homemade Chili or Stew frozen in a foodsaver bag and it only need be dropped in boiling water for a bit to be ready to eat. Makes a quick but wonderful first night's dinner and helps the trip start right.
GREAT VIDEO ! I am NOT a camper ( I enjoyed it growing up but that was then ) so I am VERY impressed with your experience. That spaghetti looked DELICIOUS to me !!! THX for sharing !!
You're doing what I want to do so bad. Seems like every bike I buy brakes down a few days later and can't get out of the neighborhood more or less the state. I'll keep trying maybe I'll buy new one if they will sell me one 😉. Stay safe!
Fantastic! I am just obsessed with the vast open space of the southwest deserts. I can't get over it. Cannot wait to ride there some day. This was dusty and sunny and beautiful! Thanks for sharing with us as always!
Something I’ve learned from life is anxiety is normal. Anxiety/nervousness is a normal reaction to an un-normal situation. Learning to deal with that is what helps those in high stress scenarios service and come out on top. Love the video! Amazing story telling and editing!
Love your face! Haven't tried freeze drying our own food. I think that's an interesting idea but time is definitely a factor! Glad it worked out okay for you! Keep up the amazing video work! We love it!
I can't imagine myself making a trip like that alone, much less taking the time to make and narrate video along the way. I tip my non-Stetson hat to you.
Another wonderful segment! I am at work watching you do what I will do next year. I have watched almost all your videos at least once. A while back I asked you about the windscreen you had and I guess I wasn’t clear. I am interested in finding the metal shield you place around your stove to block the wind. Any help would be great as I don’t find it in your descriptions.
Hopefully things work out here on my place off grid here in high desert AZ /middle of nowhere. Was hopeful that I would get on the road by now but life happens. Ok what I am getting to is once I am on the road I hope to see you. I be in a toy hauler with my trike. My plans are to go from one state to another and set up a base camp and see as many of the two lane roads as I can. I will be bringing my small cargo trailer that I pull with my trike where I don't have to use my truck except for moving base camp. You will be welcome to a home cook meal and if you want a hot shower. The meat I will bring is fresh as I raise meat for myself and my neighbors. The plan is Forgotten Angles by Oct.
The food didn't look bad. When I was a kid, there was such a craze about freeze dried "space food" for the astronauts. They were a dubious proposition at best. Another great episode. Thanks for taking us along. :)
Love that little bike. Had the exact same one in the past. Called it my little Pocket Bike. Now I ride his bigger brother. The Africa Twin. As for the dehydration part. Respect for that. Am wondering how you did that. Would love to learn it for my own future travels.
I like you tent, but jeez, $500? But I guess that’s just 2.5 nights in Yuma, so there’s that. Funny you picked Tampa and back. I’m just getting ready for a similar trip, but in reverse. Starting from Sarasota. Keep up the great attitude and enjoy the ride and scenery. Good job Magpie!
You should also take into account that this is the tent that has gone across the country with me four times now, let alone all the camping I've done in the past almost 3 years of owning it.
End screen question: started as an outdoor educator leading backpacking trips- cardboard tasting freeze dried meals until they came out with reasonably priced dehydration machines… as I got older, the freeze dried stuff improved, but I had switched to moto camping and found the backpacking food too high calorie for sitting on a bike! Thought about dehydrating again, but found some new lower cal/sodium healthy freeze dried alternatives that I’ve been trying…
Wow Amanda, I really enjoyed this video. You are covering places on my to-do list, your pictures are great and I love the music you chose for background! Thanks ! Oh, and I love your star trail shots.
Amazing video. Super sketchy campground early on and finishing with one of the most beautiful places. It would seem you are reaching cruising altitude on a long trip and settling in nicely. Thanks for sharing. I’ve never done my own dehydrated meals but we have made different boil in a bag concoctions.
Bisbee, Chiricahua National Park, White Sands National Park, Marfa Lights, Terlingua are all missing? Maybe I need to calm down and continue watching your return trip.
@@AstheMagpieFlies he just put out a second book. I have it but have not had a chance to try them yet. Also subscribe to his blog Trail Bites (sp?). He puts out a new recipe each month.
Regarding home dehydration, I bought a cheap dehydrator a while back and made some DELICIOUS jerky. I want to try dehydrating bean soup for travel. Shouldn't be hard. I've gotten good at pressure canning it, but glass jars? Not the best for travel. Please keep us informed if you try home dehydration for travel. Thanks!
Great video! My spaghetti sauce is really bolagnase (sp) also. I have dehydrated several meals - none I would call a success. Edible, life sustaining however not something I was looking forward too…
I would call the Minestrone soup I dehydrated and made for the first episode a success it was actually pretty good, soups seem to be the best bet for successful rehydration I think 🤔 BUT! I think this spaghetti sauce probably would have gone much better had I not tried to cook the pasta with it lol
You didn't go to Albuquerque for the wrong turn?😉 I canned some venison last fall to take with me this year. I don't want to throw the jar away after. I think of something.
YAAAAAYYYY!!!! Rain-fly dance (running around)!!!!!

Hey there... I subscribed after seeing your camp out with shade tree... you are inspirational, I wish I had your courage!!!
Thank you so much Brad :D
Saw your right hand riding the wind and remembered, "Atlas throttle lock!" Gotta get one of those. Ride well, ride safe!
