I wonder if eveRide understands what a hero he is? Seriously, this is hero stuff. I wonder if he'll gloss over this comment and think, "Nah, Woody is overstating it." I'm not overstating. You should feel proud.
@@JamSackson Actually, yes. I just did an amazing weekend group ride. Hundreds of miles, great people, etc. I want to do it again but I'm still sore. :)
Your laughter and joking is a good thing. Positive attitude (even when you have to fake it a little) goes a long way. As retired 26 year veteran of US Army Special Operations I’ve been in a pickle or two. There was ALWAYS humor and joking even in the worst of situations. Tyler, your’s and Mike’s banter and friendly attitude gave our buddy Dan the motivation he needed to plug ahead. While you were at the end of your tethers physically, your mental state and will got you through. Having said that, in an activity like back country dirt biking (or anything in the wilderness for that matter) being physically fit and knowing your limits are absolutely necessary. That’s the first level of preparedness. Well done Sirs!
The best thing about riding out into the bush with a group is that I feel safer taking moderate risks. When I am by myself, and I look down the trail, I am always asking myself how I feel about pushing a broken bike back the way I came. I may be overly cautious, but I have never broken anything when alone. In a group, well, yeah, I have needed a tow once... Here in BC overnight outdoors means bears and cougars. NOT the human varieties!
Great perspective! I don’t think you’re risk averse. It sounds balanced. Here in MI,I think about where the nearest tow track is to push the bike out too and where the nearest hospital is. I tank up with 2-3 liters of water before a ride and take 2-3 with me, and still get back to the truck thirsty. I also think about where and how big the nearest hill is just in case I’ve got to push to the top to bump start the ole TTR.
I had a reflective moment of tackling trail 199 at Hatfield McCoy solo. In my Part 1 vid I make the conscious decision to bail out. It was tough because I still felt good and really wanted to finish it. But I was out of water. That is a recipe for a bad scenario. I swallowed my pride but came back and finished it. Very glad it worked out guys.
That's really intense! I'm glad you all made it out. I'm taking my socks off now to go out and connect with the energy of the gravel road in front of my house. Oh, I'll be sure and take plenty of water. Tyler, You're such a good man. I really love your videos and the wisdom you impart. Michael is obviously a top quality man as well.
Additional note: glad to hear Mr. Duhfactor is working his magic on the Black Widow. Haven't seen a posting by him in a while and was wondering how he was doing. I remember the "abduction" and original build series with Mr. Rojoneck assisting. Great stuff and a launch of the eveRide channel.
Emergency communications are important people. P.A.C.E: Primary, Alternate, Contingency, Emergency. Cell phones are fine as primary communications, and in this situation worked ok, but there are a lot of places we go off roading that isn't covered. Satellite coms are great for contingency, and maybe alternate. Ham radio is good for the same, but coverage can also be spotty depending on the area. Last resort? Maybe a signal mirror? But take something more than a cell phone please.
Trail riding... it would be easy they said. This helps to show how kind, generous, selfless and compassionate people that do this sport are. Whether it's retrieving gas or a plug from camp, to a full-out rescue like this. Thank you and your friend for being a blessing!
Just settled out of a lawsuit from having a guy die on a ride.... good advice here. Know your limits, don't let your friends pressure you into continuing if you are feeling ill. Don't downplay what you are feeling. Be honest... don't tell everyone you are fine when you are not!!!
Wow! Such an intense ordeal. As I was watching I started thinking to myself, "they should just hike in, they're expending too much energy." Right about that time, that's exactly what you did. You two are truly heroes. There's a lot to learn from this video from both perspectives as rescuer or the one being rescued. Thank you for sharing with us.
It took one ride running out of water in Moab to decide that the soreness of a heavy backpack doesn’t touch the necessity of staying hydrated. Always bring more than what you think you need. You possibly saved this guys life.
Backpac??? Why no toprac waterpac? Seriously, I'm getting into Dualsports right now, after just learning about and considering 1, or a small ADV. Why not a Dualsport with a top rack? I guess a top case is too risky of breaking, but what about those lock on water containers, or cold-thermos/bottles strapped high, so a tip over can't easily damage them? If it's all about the raw, lightweight, racing dirtbike on trails experience...then how about hiding & geomarking supplies to come back to, when you need them, or when going home? Just keep absolute essentials on you, like little water, becon, light medkit and devices, and keep battery chargers, major tools, and extra water at the hidden spot?
@@observingrogue7652 the issue was that we were riding Kane Creek on our wr250r’s and didn’t realize there was a separate dirt bike trail that goes around hamburger hill. Riding 300 pound bikes up those step ups and rocks took the rest of the 3 liters of water that I brought. 3 liters should have been enough but we took a wrong turn. In hindsight I’d rather pack more than what I need in the saddlebags than risk only bringing what I think I need.
Hey Tyler, I know this trail quite well, we ride it fairly often. If you ever need a hand in this type of situation, feel free to give me or Josiah a call. We would be more than happy to help out.
@@KoltFin it can be done solo, as long as you've got the skills. At least people would probably see you fall off the cliffs, unlike being stranded up that canyon. I've ridden it several times up and down and I've never seen any other people on it.
A cautionary tale indeed. I had an episode that scared me a few years back. I had extreme heat exhaustion on a day near 100. Tyler & the rally group led me back to water and air conditioning and plied me with fluids and undeserved encouraging words. Naturally we were on much easier trails, because me and my DRZ.
Wow, this dude is super cool. I don't know how this ended up in my feed but I subbed because he's a great human being and that other guy is like a billy goat on two wheels. I ride a dual sport bike and love my travels around Tucson and Oro valley. You can get caught short-handed quick with this heat. Stay frosty, great channel
Well done. That was epic. I've ridden off road for over 40 years and can say for sure that this was a tough trail. Once you start getting tired and dehydrated, things go downhill quickly. Respect where its due guys 👍.
My God!!! You may have to rename Evaride to Nutsride. That was just crazy and both of you are awesome bunch of blokes. Nothing more rewarding that helping someone in need. Well done and stay safe.
Romaniac's recent vid and now this. I wonder if people have watched too many Jarvis hard enduro vids and get themselves into trouble. Glad it worked out.
Knowing when to use the SOS button can make the difference between a rescue and a recovery. I carry Shot Blocks. They work to replenish electrolytes. That's awesome that you went out there to help a friend!! Good job!
This was so scary, thanks for sharing. I learned to not ride alone from watching youtube videos like this one and one on Romaniacs channel. You guys are doing a valuable service uploading this content. You will be a hero to Dan forever. Well done!
If you're pushing/dragging your bike at half your walking speed, might as well walk. And if you're riding with mx or enduro boots, might want to carry some lightweight trail hikers for the emergency hike back. Not that I'm any kind of expert, but that's what I learned from this video. Good job guys.
I ride dirtbikes and hike in australia. exposure + dehydration/exertion can kill you quick waters great, electrolytes, energy bars. wait out the sun if you have to. good on him for lieing down in the shade.
Might not be a bad idea to pack a collapsible umbrella to have as shade when there is nothing else around. Doesn't weigh that much nor take that much space.
Dude desert riding is no joke... I got myself in a bit of trouble last year. Lost the trail, over heated, started making bad choices. Finally had the presence of mind to take my armor off and lay down under a rock ledge and cool off and drink some more water. Stood up about 15 min later and could literally see the trail 50 yrds off. Got off lucky that day.
Great rescue mission. And good advice how to act in such an emergency. Glad that Germany is such a safe country with nearby villages. Out there in Utah you have to help yourselves. Thanks from Günter/Nürnberg
The harder and more miserable the situation the more you should laugh and crack jokes. Its the best medicine. Lowers anxiety and stress for everyone involved. Everyone should know just how far up the creek you are. continually reminding everyone by freaking out doesn't do anyone any good. Also I pack a pair of flip flops for situations that require walking or just drying my feet out some.
Awww, exactly like that time Hermit and I filmed an epic video for you and when I got home I found 10,000 time laps pictures of the ride and no video. Glad that guy was ok though. Good on you guys for answering the call to help.
@@osimnod Doing good man. Hopefully I'll have some more up soon. The weather is getting nicer here, but we're still in full on mud season. Hope you are doing well too man!
Great work. You balanced the situation well with recovering the rider while not becoming another potential casualty. Good instincts brother. Also, way to go being in great shape! That much riding and hauling bikes in the desert would have ended me. Thanks for sharing this.
Great video as always.What a small world, I just met your brother Jae on my last trip to Mexico, he was my roomate and riding buddy. Great guy! "funny" thing we got an incident with a couple of older riders with some health issues in Mexico, they over heated and dehydrated a little but we were able to pull through . Dehydration can sneak on you really quick!
Great video Tyler. Covered so many important things to consider. Glad all is well that ends well. Your attitude shines through and that is a huge part of success in dire conditions. Great job.
Its one thing how much riding requires to be in shape but all that gear and that thick pants and jersey sucks in warm weather, its a massive difference in say a summer series vented gear
You can get a used Garmin (Delorme) Inreach satellite communicator for about $100 to $150 on Ebay, and get the $100,000 GEOS rescue insurance for $30 a year. This guy could have gotten rescued and flown out of that by helicopter, and wouldn't have owed a penny extra. I don't know why more solo riders don't have that and use it. I think the satellite subscription is only about $15 a month too, and you can turn it off for the months you aren't using it. It's really cheap insurance for what you get, and it can save your life.
You should always carry 1 gallon of water, per person. Sounds like a lot but it's much nicer to have the extra water in emergencies. If there is extra at the end of the day, it always feels good to splash some on your face orpour it on your head. It's awesome that you are able and willing to go out and help.
A mylar space blanket packs really small and works great to provide improvised shade and reflect radiative heat. You can even wrap yourself in it when walking or if you need to stay overnight waiting for a rescure.
Great video Tyler. You and I have talked about this before. On top of your phone, carry a handheld programmed with the area amateur radio repeaters. People are going to say you should get your license, they're not wrong. But take one anyway if you're out in the middle of nowhere. It may not just save your life, it could save someone else's life as well.
My wife is a pharmacist, and she gave me these pill things that are electrolytes or something, she made a kit for me and always said... "If you get dehydrated make sure to take one of these with some water." Go ahead, guess how many times when I am stupid hot and about to pass out I have used them. Zero. Why? I haven't a damn clue, she tells me about them and gets frustrated but when you're hot you really start to get stupid. Glad it all worked out in the end, but it is amazing how bad heat can make us.
@@Burner-Adventure-Chronicles I'm not sure which electrolytes he is using but I use Hammer Nutrition's Endurolytes Fizz tablets and Perpetuem power and they work fantastic!
@@advsquared thanks! I keep a 3l water bladder in my pack and also pack a bottle of gatoraide to slam 1/2 way thru ride to get liquids back in. I think the electrolytes would be better

Glad to hear Dan made it back! Love the content and look foward to more. You're a real hero and I look up to you and everything you stand for! I'm actually currently looking to move out west mostly to pursue my dream of doing actual dual sporting! Grew up riding in the clay hills of Indiana on a Honda 400ex quad, later in life I got into motorcycles and have had a cb500x and a v strom 1000. I've seen eveRide's videos and Fortnine and they've sent me down the path to move west. Where should I go? I'm planning to get a crf300L rally for mostly fire roads and easier offroading as I have very little experience offroad with dirt bikes. I've got about 2 years to plan so let me know your location recommendations! Sorry for the paragraph!
Great job with the recovery! may well have saved his life. I saw that he had an InReach mini on his waiste - what is the role of that device in this situation and how should it be used here?
Totally amazing. You almost needed a secondary rescue crew to stay back on the easier part of the trail until you returned from your rescue to help you after your exhaustive experience.
This similar thing happened to my friends and I. went down a wet Valley in a rainforest and couldn't get out .6 hours of pushing pulling and front wheel driving the bikes to get them out I was lucky I found a freshwater spring but we were so fatigued and got out at night
I ended going down wash-waterfalls thinkin that it was a trail, it wasnt. Was an attempt to get out of an area i shouldnt have attempted in the first place... On a KLX250. The next 3 hours out of water was one of the toughest of my life, what saved me was mental clarity and not panicking or getting scared. I Banzai'd the bike up several 6-7ft rock faces, just to get it up there. Picked it up and rode to the next. Border Patrol ended up watching me on glass and told me later that they never seen anybody on a bike in there, they used it for Quad training for their patrol division.
Amazing... glad you made it. And yeah, that covid jab can be no fun at all. I’ve got my second one in a couple of weeks... not looking forward to that, although whatever it does to me it’ll probably not be as hard as that looked!
There are a few canyons there that look the same. I was stuck out there 2 years ago. I left my bike snd walked out in the dark. Severely dehydrated. Got pretty scary.
Curious, now that you have done it, how far down you would have left the bikes and hiked in? It appears if you made any bad decision it was using up your energy getting your bikes high up that hill
Oh my that hit home for me. Ride heavy klr alone most times. . nothing like that trail but sometimes to much for a 60 year old. Will think of this before ride alone again. My son has been purchasing a klr now for 3-4 year's lol. Can't seem to put away dollars for it tho. Would be nice if he gets one before me not able to enjoy this anymore. He has road with me many times using my old Mt 250 elsinore s as we had every year of then. The fuel range of them is terrible and overall not feasible to ride. Anyways thanks, really hit home for me.
As a general rule, conserve energy, not water. Your instincts to stay hydrated while you have water we're good. Watching some of the stuff you do I consider you a better rider than I am. You definitely have more experience, but maybe you've forgotten that some of those more difficult spots are made even more difficult when you go at them slow with no momentum. I know that's easier said than done when you're looking at some sketch terrain, but sometimes you might need to send it instead of giving her a go eh. 😁🤘🏽
Joe, you're a good rider too. Don't sell yourself short. Your sentiment on the hydration seems dead on to me but Big T is pretty good about understanding his "limits at that moment," which often aren't your max. In this case, not feeling well the day before and knowing someone else was relying on them getting there, the chill pace makes sense. Can't help if you can't get there.
Serious and genuine kudos for your and Mike's rescue of Dan. And I'll say "shame" on Dan for pushing his luck on what was obviously a worsening "trail" that would make a Mountain Goat pause - and out riding alone!. You two kept your cool and trudged on to find Dan despite the heat and uncertainty. This is the stuff of legends. Much Love!
That was tough to watch. At work we call it the "swiss cheese model" where multiple bad things all line up resulting a significant dumpster fire. Not feeling 100% to start with, not fully prepared, not getting real with each other about when to stop trying to push the bikes through...and that's just the rescuers!! Not pointing the finger because I've done it too...not wanting to admit defeat or have to suffer the repercussions of bailing out. Glad you posted this as a good reminder of what can go wrong. Super glad everyone's OK.
"Canadiens" is the Montreal hockey club (Le Habs). Same with the Canucks of Vancouver. "Canadians" are Minnesotans who vacation a couple of degrees of latitude south of their home.
Can you go into more detail about the communications infrastructure out there? Evidently your friend had limited cell phone functionality consisting of SMS and GPS signal at his location he was stranded, right? What's the amateur radio VHF/UHF repeater network look like in your area? I specifically got into Ham radio just for the emergency comms capability with Arizona's pretty rich repeater network. With a little 5 watt radio and some planning ahead of time, I can talk to people 100 miles away or farther due to that network. I know you're an advocate for Spot or similar beacons, and my primary riding buddy carries one. I've yet to be in a place that I'm not able to contact Rimlink or a similar VHF network though.
I wonder if eveRide understands what a hero he is? Seriously, this is hero stuff.
I wonder if he'll gloss over this comment and think, "Nah, Woody is overstating it."
I'm not overstating. You should feel proud.
You a dual sport guy nowadays woody?
@@JamSackson Actually, yes. I just did an amazing weekend group ride. Hundreds of miles, great people, etc. I want to do it again but I'm still sore. :)

I think the satellite subscription is only about $15 a month too, and you can turn it off for the months you aren't using it. It's really cheap insurance for what you get, and it can save your life.
You should always carry 1 gallon of water, per person. Sounds like a lot but it's much nicer to have the extra water in emergencies. If there is extra at the end of the day, it always feels good to splash some on your face orpour it on your head. It's awesome that you are able and willing to go out and help.
Awesome video man! I’m happy to see some new stuff coming out...keep em coming!
Aw-Man...Just the video I needed to see the day before this years first big solo ride...lol
Thanks for the great reminders! Thanks for sharing 👍
Maybe for the hiking and the breaks you could bring a small packable umbrella. Originally umbrellas were used for sun shade. Just an idea
A mylar space blanket packs really small and works great to provide improvised shade and reflect radiative heat. You can even wrap yourself in it when walking or if you need to stay overnight waiting for a rescure.
Good job guys.Trail looks like King Of Hammers.
Kudos to you two. Ya'll did Dan a solid.
Great video Tyler. You and I have talked about this before. On top of your phone, carry a handheld programmed with the area amateur radio repeaters. People are going to say you should get your license, they're not wrong. But take one anyway if you're out in the middle of nowhere. It may not just save your life, it could save someone else's life as well.
My wife is a pharmacist, and she gave me these pill things that are electrolytes or something, she made a kit for me and always said... "If you get dehydrated make sure to take one of these with some water." Go ahead, guess how many times when I am stupid hot and about to pass out I have used them. Zero. Why? I haven't a damn clue, she tells me about them and gets frustrated but when you're hot you really start to get stupid.
Glad it all worked out in the end, but it is amazing how bad heat can make us.
what are the names of the pills, do you know?
@@Burner-Adventure-Chronicles I'm not sure which electrolytes he is using but I use Hammer Nutrition's Endurolytes Fizz tablets and Perpetuem power and they work fantastic!
@@advsquared thanks! I keep a 3l water bladder in my pack and also pack a bottle of gatoraide to slam 1/2 way thru ride to get liquids back in. I think the electrolytes would be better
@@Burner-Adventure-Chronicles Sports Beans and just the Electrolyte Tablets, the Sports Beans she likes due to no caffeine.

This might prove to be one of your list important videos hopefully
Good job boys!
That is a very good trail. I only went down it cause we had a bigger group. Definitely a pretty gnarly trail.
Glad to hear Dan made it back! Love the content and look foward to more. You're a real hero and I look up to you and everything you stand for! I'm actually currently looking to move out west mostly to pursue my dream of doing actual dual sporting! Grew up riding in the clay hills of Indiana on a Honda 400ex quad, later in life I got into motorcycles and have had a cb500x and a v strom 1000. I've seen eveRide's videos and Fortnine and they've sent me down the path to move west. Where should I go? I'm planning to get a crf300L rally for mostly fire roads and easier offroading as I have very little experience offroad with dirt bikes. I've got about 2 years to plan so let me know your location recommendations! Sorry for the paragraph!
Awesome video. Very helpful
Great job with the recovery! may well have saved his life. I saw that he had an InReach mini on his waiste - what is the role of that device in this situation and how should it be used here?
Totally amazing. You almost needed a secondary rescue crew to stay back on the easier part of the trail until you returned from your rescue to help you after your exhaustive experience.
This similar thing happened to my friends and I. went down a wet Valley in a rainforest and couldn't get out .6 hours of pushing pulling and front wheel driving the bikes to get them out I was lucky I found a freshwater spring but we were so fatigued and got out at night
I ended going down wash-waterfalls thinkin that it was a trail, it wasnt. Was an attempt to get out of an area i shouldnt have attempted in the first place... On a KLX250. The next 3 hours out of water was one of the toughest of my life, what saved me was mental clarity and not panicking or getting scared. I Banzai'd the bike up several 6-7ft rock faces, just to get it up there. Picked it up and rode to the next. Border Patrol ended up watching me on glass and told me later that they never seen anybody on a bike in there, they used it for Quad training for their patrol division.
Amazing... glad you made it. And yeah, that covid jab can be no fun at all. I’ve got my second one in a couple of weeks... not looking forward to that, although whatever it does to me it’ll probably not be as hard as that looked!
Lots of lessons to learn from this.....
Kudos to you guys
It was a DRZ, now it's a DuhRZ. Thankyou thankyou, I'll be here all week. How about a trials bike on stuff like that. That's a trail?
Great video! Great job.
Makes you wonder how good this guy is to make it that far on this trail by himself? Anything can happen so yea don't do this alone 😎
I've missed you man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There are a few canyons there that look the same. I was stuck out there 2 years ago. I left my bike snd walked out in the dark. Severely dehydrated. Got pretty scary.
nice save. Warner valley UT? Not near the cliffs of Ins..
Curious, now that you have done it, how far down you would have left the bikes and hiked in? It appears if you made any bad decision it was using up your energy getting your bikes high up that hill
Oh my that hit home for me. Ride heavy klr alone most times. . nothing like that trail but sometimes to much for a 60 year old. Will think of this before ride alone again. My son has been purchasing a klr now for 3-4 year's lol. Can't seem to put away dollars for it tho. Would be nice if he gets one before me not able to enjoy this anymore. He has road with me many times using my old Mt 250 elsinore s as we had every year of then. The fuel range of them is terrible and overall not feasible to ride. Anyways thanks, really hit home for me.
I miss the days when this channel was still rocking a KLR 650
Good work fellas
Great vid
As a general rule, conserve energy, not water. Your instincts to stay hydrated while you have water we're good. Watching some of the stuff you do I consider you a better rider than I am. You definitely have more experience, but maybe you've forgotten that some of those more difficult spots are made even more difficult when you go at them slow with no momentum. I know that's easier said than done when you're looking at some sketch terrain, but sometimes you might need to send it instead of giving her a go eh. 😁🤘🏽
Joe, you're a good rider too. Don't sell yourself short. Your sentiment on the hydration seems dead on to me but Big T is pretty good about understanding his "limits at that moment," which often aren't your max. In this case, not feeling well the day before and knowing someone else was relying on them getting there, the chill pace makes sense. Can't help if you can't get there.
Excellent recovery young man. Looks like the RUclips life has been being very good to you ( extra pounds ). lol Keep on keepin on.
You guys made it 👍👊
Amazing rescue! Which is the communicator system you recommended in the video?
Serious and genuine kudos for your and Mike's rescue of Dan. And I'll say "shame" on Dan for pushing his luck on what was obviously a worsening "trail" that would make a Mountain Goat pause - and out riding alone!. You two kept your cool and trudged on to find Dan despite the heat and uncertainty. This is the stuff of legends. Much Love!
That was tough to watch. At work we call it the "swiss cheese model" where multiple bad things all line up resulting a significant dumpster fire. Not feeling 100% to start with, not fully prepared, not getting real with each other about when to stop trying to push the bikes through...and that's just the rescuers!! Not pointing the finger because I've done it too...not wanting to admit defeat or have to suffer the repercussions of bailing out. Glad you posted this as a good reminder of what can go wrong. Super glad everyone's OK.
mesmerizing video
Are Minnesotans actually Canadiens in disguise, Eh! LOL. You are a hero bud!
"Canadiens" is the Montreal hockey club (Le Habs). Same with the Canucks of Vancouver. "Canadians" are Minnesotans who vacation a couple of degrees of latitude south of their home.
I have att since it gets me coverage in most places I go.
It seems appropriate that there's a skull-shaped rock omen (top right corner of the screen at 12:50) to greet you early into this trail.
Good stuff
Very good video.
who the f downvoted this?!? great job guys.
Can you go into more detail about the communications infrastructure out there? Evidently your friend had limited cell phone functionality consisting of SMS and GPS signal at his location he was stranded, right?
What's the amateur radio VHF/UHF repeater network look like in your area? I specifically got into Ham radio just for the emergency comms capability with Arizona's pretty rich repeater network. With a little 5 watt radio and some planning ahead of time, I can talk to people 100 miles away or farther due to that network. I know you're an advocate for Spot or similar beacons, and my primary riding buddy carries one. I've yet to be in a place that I'm not able to contact Rimlink or a similar VHF network though.
