      Hi @SterlingNoren. What kind of mount are u using for your monopod attachment, and what's that rubber strap at the bottom? Thanks for your help and for all your work. HOLA DESDE BAJA CALIFORNIA..!

      I'm with AJ; Sterling is a master cinematographer, editor, rider, chef, narrator, and above all, a skilled storyteller. Nobody captures the natural splendor of America like Sterling does, especially with a drone.

    I love this Sterling! Quick RUclips suggestion, you can have the next video come up at the end of all of these. This makes it really easy for people to keep watching and binge the series. Go to your RUclips studio and click the "edit" button on a video. Click "end screen" and you can add a video and choose which video you want to pop up (choose the next video in the series). Great job on this! Cheers!

    Hello Sterling. We have many things in common: SAME AGE, A BIG MOTORCYCLE AND I AM GOING TO RECORD MY TRIP LIKE YOU, FOR MY RUclips CHANNEL. The difference is that I am going to do it from Madrid, 🇪🇸 Spain,by plane to New York with my motorcycle and from there to Canada and back. About 20,000 KMS IN ABOUT 80 DAYS! Beginning next May😜So thanks for your videos that have helped me make my own adventure.

    It's sort of crazy of me in a way, because I've taken motorcycle trips and enjoy getting out there and being in the wind and experiencing the universe all around me, but I think I almost enjoy these adventure videos that you produce, Sterling nearly as much because of what your eye picks up that ends up being content.
    I get that the drone can give the rest of us a different view, but it's more than that. We ALL can live the life vicariously, and see the natural world we have.
    It's much appreciated....

    • @letitrest4662
      @letitrest4662 Год назад

      @@merlestadnyk It really is, and I get such great vibes from Sterling and Eva's videos too. The series they did in Baja was so much fun to watch. The little coastal eateries and camping, plus the unique north central Baja desert area with all the rocks was something I'd never seen before. To me North America has SO much diversity from one area to the next, and Sterling is doing such a great job of offering an adventurers perspective of the west.
      I retired a few years ago, and although my resources aren't unlimited, more and more I'm realizing how little I need and how much I can see on what I have to use.
      Currently I have a Yamaha FJR1300a, but I see the benefit of having a machine that'll take me on the interstate, or the dirt roads of Baja.
      I can't wait till the time that I can book a room at their motel for a base to explore Arizona. I definitely want to buy Sterling and Eva a glass of wine or two in gratitude for what they both give me in enjoyment from their channel. Two wonderfully creative people with adventurous spirits.......

This series has everything I love - trip planning, riding, camping, cooking, natural scenery, outback historical information, video production.... I anxiously await each episode. Thank you so much for these videos. Each is a gorgeous gift. You inspire me not only to ride, and take longer rides with camping, but also to document my trips even though my video skills are a joke compared to your artistry. The timing of this series is ideal. Spring is here. It's time to ride!

    Dear Sterling, I live in tiny Switzerland and I’ve been watching your channel for some time now, especially your “Riding Solo” series. You are a big inspiration to me and the main reason why I have started riding my bike on longer camping and adventure trips through Europe. The US and Canada are of course very high on my bucket list! Your insights, your awesome filming, photography and storytelling style, your cooking, what kind of equipment you use; all this has laid the groundworks for my own trips (I even ordered the firebox stove …). Thank you very much for sharing all of this in a very sympathetic and entertaining way! Please keep going and sharing - you’re doing a fantastic job. Best regards from Switzerland, Frank

When l saw your first episode less than two years ago, I had just taking up riding after not being in the saddle for many years. The film making got my attention and I really liked seeing when you were setting up your camping gear, starting the camp fire and cooking. At first l felt that you had too much gear, but now l have moast of it, all down to the little table an the cutting board 😊

    I like how you describe your photographic methods and equipment. I was a still photographer back in the film era. I would have loved the freedom of small digital cameras and a drone. We rented Bell Helicopters for aerial photography at $500 per hour, back in 1975. And then wait to see the film results. I ride a Pan America in North Idaho, and love the Back Country Discovery Routes nearby.
    Keep up the awesome work, I look forward to seeing more 😎🇺🇸

    Hello 🙋🏻‍♂️ Thanks for all these details. I always watch your episodes with interest. But now, I think there are going to be really interesting episodes coming. 😁🤝

    The first thing that jumped out at me was your excellent visuals and the second was your thoughtful commentary. Excellent. You're like itchy dude. :P

    I absolutely love all aspects of your videos! I look forward to them as a highlight of my day/week! Assuming you have planned to arrive in Canada after our snow and cold temperatures are finished.

      I filmed this last summer so I was in Canada in July when it was HOT!
