Riding roads that don't exist (S3:E52)

- Опубликовано: 13 янв 2024
- After the sandwich incident, Chad and Rose continue to push off the map utilizing satellite images in an attempt to connect two faint roads. The only problem is, they'll have to cross the "sands of despair," a salt flat, and risk running out of gas to do it.

I no longer have adjectives to describe this trip. I only have one thing to say: You are true adventurers. And we can't forget this bike that is really proving to be a battle tank!!!
The battle tank! I like that...
Thank you for coming along for the ride with us. 💪🍻🖤
❤❤❤❤❤
Man, women, bike 🏍️& Adventure. Above all living the passion you dream 👏🏻👏🏻🎥
Great stuff you guys. Inspiring 🫡
@sidtrack thank you!!! 🖤
Hey guys, I started watching your videos a while ago, back when Chad was riding in Alaska. Then recently I went back and watched your earlier stuff and am impressed how you've grown. I love how Rose was a reluctant participant at the beginning and now is the narrator; a colourlful and very entertaining narrator. It's almost as if Chad has gone from being the star and central figure to playing second fiddle to Rose. I know it's a team effort, but it's wonderful how, together you've become great story tellers, venturing to the less frequented spots of South America.
You deserve a far bigger following and I urge you to persist, your time will come. The Ushuaia trip is on my bucket list, but you guys have made me realise there is so much more to see. Thank you.
Thank you so much for the kind words AND for supporting the channel! Rose can't even bring herself to watch our old content. She certainly has come into her own as a narrator! I (Chad) am more of a natural story teller, so it was a bit difficult for her in the beginning, but she is certainly getting the hang of it!! 😁
Yes, I ofter encourage people to (A) avoid rhe PanAm at all costs, and (B) fight the urge to target fixate on Ushuaia. A lot of people just blast right by the best riding in South America to get to the "End of the Road".
I discovered your channel just 3 episodes ago - loving the articulate and understated commentary, as well as the structure of your editing style.
From an old-school thumperite (DR 650 rotating with KLR 650) who rides and camps the gravel backroads of the desert rimlands of Southern Africa…
Thank you so much - welcome to the channel! I (Chad) cut my teeth riding thumpers through the Mojave Desert of the American Southwest! Nothing better!! 🍻
You two are no doubt the craziest motorcyclists on RUclips, but I LOVE IT!! Stay safe and wishing you ALL THE BEST!! ♥
Bwaa!! We're flattered! ☺️
Thanks for supporting the channel!! 🍻
That laguna negra overlook was awesome, but aahhh, what’s ppls fascination with stacking rocks? Y’all have an excellent mindset for , “whatever” …bad ass 😆… Takes a special crazy to ride anywhere, camp any temp, and keep the laughs flowing. Thanks for taking us on the ride 👍🏼👍🏼
Ha ha ha!! Rock stacking is one of Rose's biggest pet peeves. But then again, The Rock stackers are probably wondering what the fascination is with slapping stickers everywhere, so... 😅
Nooo not the sandwich!! 😂 Your videos make me want to jump on my AT and head south. The sense of adventure you two have is so contagious. Thank you!
Won't somebody please think of the sandwiches!!! 😢🥪
Thank you! Jump on that AT and point it south. We'll meet you on the road!! 😉
Always entertaining!!! ...and what better than starting with Rosie doing her wee Chubby Checker dance..Lets twist again ...
Your drone low battery "management" now working well ... I remember the episode previously where it was nearly lost !!
This channel should have 000000000's of viewers ...hopefully, they will come !!
Fabulous landscape ...
Stay warm and safe.
Ice, zero temperatures, and more snow are forecast here in Bonnie Scotland.
Ha ha... that was her " running to the store to buy another sandwich" dance! 🤣 Last time we almost lost the drone was on Tierra del Fuego. That was a little tougher to find...
Thank ls so much for the kind words! The channel has gained a bit of traction as of late. 👍
You are both amazing. Sometimes in life you just have to back yourself and go for it. So good.
Thank you sir! Yeah, I think the technical term is "stubborn for no damn reason." But whatever, it works for us... 🤣
Proof positive, "you never know until you go!" Love your videos, true adventure riders. I've been binge-watching since its -14°F and I don't want to go outside! I especially appreciate Rose's sense of humor & commentary!
Well in that case, I'm glad it's freezing out!! 🥶😁
Ha ha! Thanks so much for binging on the channel and for the kind words! We appreciate the support!! 👍🍻
I am not sure which planet you are on, but it sure is beautiful!
My favorite quote is, " You just won't know until you go!"
You are true adventurers and explorers. So great!!!
Ps.
Rose, next time you are in Central Ontario, I will make you a sandwich.
Otherworldly, isn't it? Thanks as always!! And trust me, she'll take you up on the sandwich! 😁
That landscape is just amazing. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
You got to deserve those landscapes, and you both sure do ! Amazing !
Thank you!! Unfortunately, as you know, the videos never quite do it justice...
You 2 are tough as nails. Excellent riding 2 up. Out in the middle of no where (albeit beautiful scenery) & you ride up on a Chinese lithium mine. Incredible! Continue to have awesome travels. I did riding trip through Patagonia last year. I really appreciate what you 2 are doing, amazing!
Thank you!! Yeah, no one was more surprised than we were to ride up on a giant encampment with signs written in Chinese everywhere!! I was starting to wonder if we hadn't ridden through some sort of wormhole!! 😅😬😳
Haha, the no drama and GoFundMe comment was awesome. Great content, as usual.
For as little as 33-cents a month, you can buy Rose a new sandwich... 😉
i enjoy watching both of you i also watch itchy boots but lately she became a drama Queen she had nice scenery to watch but no longer ,but you guys i enjoyed the the ride and getting lost , looking foward to your next episode.
Thank you so much!! But as for drama queens, they don't get much "queenier" than Rose!! She's still yelling at me about that damn sandwich!!! 😅
Just watched the last three episodes and I must say: beautiful adventure. You people are doing a great job and definitely deserve more subscribers. Best!
Thank you so much!! The channel had been getting a bit of traction lately, so here's hoping! 🤞
One of the most inspirational videos I have seen!! I'm Argentinean and my next trip will be to Balcon Del Piscis thanks to your fantastic work of sharing the beauty of the Andes, I'm happy to see you have enjoyed it. Les mando un abrazo a la distancia!! 😁
So awesome. We love Argentina! One of our absolute favorites for getting lost! Thanks for coming along for the ride. Cheers from Guatemala!! 🍻
Started with the most epic cliffhanger of last week. The saga of the sandwich!
Hillarious!
How will the dynamic duo survive this tragedy?
Spoiler alert - we survived! But the sandwich, well... not so much! 😬
I guess my concern about the sandwich was for naught. Anyway, what an interesting and eye opening video, what amazing landscape. Hope the Chinese gave you some gas. I find it amazing that the Chinese are mining in Chile in the high altitudes of the Andes. Thanks for sharing. Stay well and good luck. Oh yeah, I think you should treat yourself to a big mac!-when you can.
See, we seamlessly tricked you with our epic sandwich cliffhanger!! 😅 Yeah, no one was more surprised to see a bunch of signs written in Chinese than we were!! 😳
Passing the point of no return- many wouldn’t but the price is access to the wonders of adventure riding. Another great and memorable ride guys. Just the best!
The amazing adventure continues! Woohooo - what a ride! Greetings from New Zealand 🤘🇳🇿
It was indeed!!! Thanks and Cheer from Suriname! 🍻
Your voiceovers have really been getting better and better with each video, it's always a fun watch!
Thanks, mate! 🍻 "I learned it from watching you!" 😁
@@TwoWheelsThreeSheets no no, I said you were getting better not worse lol
@BikesBeardsAndBrews 😅
Congratulation on how far you Guys came with the adventure (two-up) your reporting style what are like the most "thumbs-up". What I miss on most of all adventure videos (not only on yours) is at what time of the year it actually happens. Guys, have a great and safe future adventure.
Thank you for the kind words!! This footage in particular, was shot in May of 2023. Most creators who are traveling full-time seem to average about 3-4 months out, but we're a bit slow... 😬
@ 11:49
Chad: " What's the worst thing that can happen?"
Rose: " Death!"
🤣🤣
Bwaa ha ha! Good catch! 😉
Another epic episode
What a ride!!!!
Merci
Check you out, speaking all that French! You'd fit right in, here in 🇸🇷
Great job with your riding video's in South America. The narration, photography, and comradery amongst friends is very talented. Definitely makes me want to buy an Adventure Bike and explore South America. To safe and epic journeys ahead for you both. Cheers!
Thank you for the kind words. There is no better way to experience in South America IMO than from behind bars!! 🖤
Breathtaking ride and views, wow.
Even better in person! Such a remote and beautiful spot on the planet...
hermoso amigos!!!!!! me dieron ganas de volver a recorrer esos caminos que no llegue a conocer!!!
There are so many different roads that wind into the middle of nowhere! I wish we had more gas to explore!!!
The sense of travel is nicely portrayed by be termed contrasting transitions as the plot develops from gritty (engine rumble) to the sublime (flow of bike travel with just music) to narrative contextualisation (third person narrator). Thanks for that!
Wow, thanks so much!! I'm glad you recognize and appreciate the nuances. 🍻
@@TwoWheelsThreeSheets Nice to have my opinion validated by you!
Death 😂😅 love you guys💛💛the AT is a little beast!!!
Side effects may include loose stool or death... 😅
Epic scenery, lifetime memories from this nature encounter 🙂NZ
Epic indeed!! NZ? Are you from New Zealand??
What a great adventure guys, you guys are definitely some risk takers and you have a lot of faith, I would have worried about Gas, definitely in the middle of nowhere, glad you made it safely,
We definitely rolled in on fumes a few times, but knock on wood, haven't run out of gas yet!! 💪
Another cliff hanger.
😁
Love that
You just don't know, unless you go
Powerful
Sometimes, you just gotta find out. 🖤
Yaşamaya değer macera,tebrikler size ve yol arkadaşımıza...
Thank you!! 🍻
just recently started following your channel, wonderful videos and great explanation
Thank you so much. Welcome to the channel! 🍻
You are a beautiful couple who deserve support. Keep going and put safety and security first before any step you take👍
Thank you!! As we always say, "safety third!" 😬
WOW what a beautiful ride. Stay safe.
Thank you, we're doing our best!! ☺️
This is my favorite RUclips channel. I almost want to trade my Harley for an adventure bike, almost.
Wow, thank you!! No need to sell the Harley, just buy an Adventure Twin to keep it company!! 😅
I am absolutely amazed where you two go.
I was in northern Argentina the last weeks travelling solo.
I have to admit that I set my limits far below yours. Lifting solo even a not too heavy loaded KTM 890 is still quite an effort and running out of fuel in the middle of nowhere is something I don’t want to experience.
Really impressive 👍🏼
Thank you!! Northern Argentina is full of all sorts of untapped riding potential! Love it there!!
Fuel is definitely a major consideration. There were a lot of areas I wish we could have explored further, but yeah, running out of fuel in some of these more remote spots can be a real bummer.
We always carry a 4 L rotopak that I never take into consideration when calculating a range. It's for emergencies only, but that said, we've had to rely on it a couple times to get a set of sticky situations!
If Ecuador is in your plans... myself and all our Adventure Riding friends would enjoy feeding you and talking about your Trip.
Thank you so much for the offer, but we are actually in Suriname right now, getting ready to head back to Central America.
Those landscapes 😮😮
The pictures / videos don't do it justice!!
Some of our favorite riding we have ever done!!
Wait, you rode the back roads from Mt. Pissis through the Chinese lithium mine???? 🤔
You guys still running Michelins still on the bike in that terrain.. great story btw on podcast and FN nuts
Thanks!! We can't wait to put those episodes together!!
Yeah, we've actually been running Anakee Adventures for most of the last 18 months. Not because we want to, just because it's the only tiire we can find in our size!! 😅
Is it off to the salt mines for Chad & Rose? Will they run out of gas and be reduced to hunting flamingos by drone to survive? Will they inadvertently stray across the border and have the African Twin seized? And will Rose ever get to eat that sandwich? Tune in next week for the next exciting episode of, The Cheerfully Unemployabled
🤣 You're hired!! You can be our copywriter for all our upcoming episodes !!
Thanks for the offer but there is no way I could ever do you justice. I did however listen ahead to your two most recent radio interviews, so I know there are some real plot twists ahead. On a personal note, due to the deteriorating security situation in Ecuador we are not going to be able to make our annual buying trip this February. I have a reliable local partner who can act as my agent so business-wise we'll be OK but I'm stlll bummed. This was a double kick in the teeth because originally, we'd thought this was the year we'd go to Argentina for the National Sheep Sheering Festival but... when it came time to book the trip last Oct we got nervous about the political situation there, too so decided to postpone a year. Looks like this winter I'll be staying home. I miss South America. A lot @@TwoWheelsThreeSheets
Good morning. I love your videos. I could put subtitles in Portuguese. I think that this way your videos would be watched by many Brazilians. thanks
Hi, thanks for the offer! We actually do subtitle all of our videos in Spanish, Portuguese, Hindi and German... but for whatever reason we cannot add subtitles until AFTER the video goes live, and it usually takes us a day or two.
Rose is actually subtitling this video as I type! 👍🍻
There's a setting for that. Gear icon, lower right of screen, click on subtitles, then auto-translate@@TwoWheelsThreeSheets
@amygregfrancisco4372 yup... but the auto translate is a bit dodgy, so Rose has to correct the the subtitles before we can translate it.
A lot of people don't go through the effort, which is why the subtitles are often hilariously incorrect! 😅
Gracias por su visita espero sigan descubrien nuestro pais
Thank you - we love Argentina!! 🖤
Such a great adventure...
Yes, it was! Thanks for watching! 🍻
Did an emergency landing better than Neil Armstrong could have done AND entered a secure facility in an undetected manner worthy of making James Bond jealous…..all in 20 minutes or so ! The secret service has a job waiting for you guys…… Well done !
😅 ha ha ha! Thank you! I'm not sure about that government gig, though. Turns out working for "the man" can be detrimental to one's overseas travel plans. I (Chad) got detained at the Nicaraguan border once for hours because they thought I was CIA... 😳
Looks like they Google translated the chinese sign 😁.
No worries about the “ sand “ -wich , as long as the beers are OK 👍
Bwaa!! Too funny... what did it say??
And yes, luckily no beers were harmed in the making of this video! 🍻😉
Ride safe always maam and sir..god bless
Thank you!! 🍻
Removing the veil, keep digging. Cheers
We're trying!!! 🖤🍻
Epic. Epic. Epic. Plugged in the EV to celebrate your discovery but it has been 8 days, just hoping you are not the newest of 'los desaparecidos'.
Ha ha... Nope, our latest video dropped 2 days ago!
Hola amigos, saludos desde Bolivia 🇧🇴👋 le recomiendo visitar Desierto De SILOLI y SALAR de UYUNI
Hi there - greetings from Guyana!! We did actually visit - videos forthcoming!! 🍻
guys...are you coming to san pedro de atacama....if you will, come to visit....im working here!!!!
Hey Marko! We would have loved to, but (1) we're no longer able to cross into Chile on the motorcycle (long story) & (2) we're long gone. We're actually in Suriname right now.
Hope you're well!! 🖤
Oh no, not the dreaded drone drama as welll!
Think of my heart, for gods sake
Well, I hate to break it to you, but the drone didn't survive much longer...
@@TwoWheelsThreeSheets oh no!
Amazing!!! I am green with envy. How far North are your travel Plans??
Thanks! Just backtracking to Los Angeles on this tour. Already ridden the Arctic, so can't ride too much further North on this side of the world.
u r amazing
Geez... thank you!!
Everyone talks about the Lagunas route but no one knows the Bob Ross back door route, until now.
Well, you just named it!! Bob Ross's Back Door!! 😅
Wow you guys got balls to go to butt f. . . idaho and to go throught the rubarb to get there awsome trip well done .
Ha ha, thanks! I haven't ridden Idaho yet. I hear they have so gnarly trails!! Not to mention, a bit of rhubarb... 😁
A sandwich gofundme!!!!!!
For as little as 33 cents a day, you can fund a sandwich a week for Rose. 😁
Love your content from India 🇮🇳
Thank you so much. Cheers from Panama City. 🇵🇦
@@TwoWheelsThreeSheets 🤝
Wow ❤

How do you prepare against wildlife bothering you in the evening/night whilst you camp outdoors away from civilization??
Animals typically avoid human contact. Rodents sometimes come around looking for food, but you just have to be sure to clean up / pack up / secure anything that may attract them.
In desert environments you sometimes have to keep a watchful eye out for snakes and scorpions. They sometimes like to take shelter in the nooks and crannies.
This all looks so much better than Patagonia. I'm down here and getting pretty bored tbh! Your later vids make me wanna skip the last part down south and head up to where your last vids have been
Where in Patagonia are you?? It's a beautiful region with some amazing riding but it certainly is a bit too touristy in areas.
This part of the Andes provides more opportunity to really "get out there". And Northern Argentina along Ruta-40 is incredible as well!
I'm down in Esquel, think I'll do a u turn a little bit before I hit O'Higgins.
I'm a bit along the 40 detours limited since I've got a dog on the back of the a.t 😅
So you're planning to cross the border into Chile and head south along the Carretera Austral?
Yeah and then back up through Argentina through 41 and 43. Whichever aren't national park restricted for doggos
@itismegarry well, Ruta-7 certainly shouldn't disappoint!! Can't offer much advice regarding the dog, though... 🤔
🖐👍💪💪🏍

Whoops. 😂.
Wait, which whoops?? There were a lot!!
The whoops about sneaking in thru back door of Lithium mine. Looking forward to see how this ends. 😅😅
Oh, THAT whoops... Yeah, whoops!! 😅
What an amazing world! It's like another planet!
How far have you traveled (how much ridden) and how long have you been in South America in total, so far! I wish you two Rose and Chad every success and progress in the future. Stay take care and enjoy your journey.
Hi. Thank you for the message. Strictly in Latin America, we have traveled more than 100,000 kilometers. Chad has been exploring South America for over 20 years. On this latest ride, we have been in Latin America for 5 and a half years (including a break in the U.S. during Covid). Thank you for the kind wishes. We hope the same for you!
@@TwoWheelsThreeSheets Thanks, my pleasure, I do best, too. Your jobs really all surprised 😲! I can’t express any way . . . . ! ?
