    This is one of the best videos I've ever seen! I teared up a bit near the end. It's incredible what you put yourself through, all the while maintaining your sense of humor, fighting spirit and eloquently narrating your journey. Your video deserves hundreds of millions of views, so I feel lucky just stumbling upon it. I'm glad you didn't have to use the BearKiller 2000!

    Excellent video and thank you for sharing your journey.
    Wow you swear even more than me, love it@! You changed so much along the way. Was it the broken rack that eventually helped you be in the moment, more present. I love when you said, I think it was when you were pushing up bike up yet another tough mountain road, " that this really sucks and none of us like to admit that sometime the things we do really suck."
    Very true. For me, when it comes to adventure and I'm a cycle junkie, often in the moment I feel such things but never when it's done . Then I looked back and think, holy shit I did that."
    Bravo 👏

    Helmet camera mounts are safe. and just two words for bears: "bear spray" Also, if you put sleigh bells on the bike bears don't like the sound.. Bears attack when you startle them or get between momma and her babies.. Bells alert the mom to get her cubs to a safe area before you have a chance to sneak between them.

    Nice scenic video.
    I liked watching your adventures, however...I do have one grind against you.
    For not believing in the afterlife, as you previously stated in the beginning of this video. You sure like to use Jesus Christ and God as a sware word a lot.
    A passive aggressive type of person I suppose.
    Your video, but just thought you should be aware of this hypocrisy.
    Not trying to start any confrontation, but Jesus Christ is not a fairytale. He is Lord God Almighty.
    Whether you choose to disagree or not, it doesn't change anything.
    I realize that by me mentioning this, it will cause much retaliatory comments towards me.
    That isn't my purpose, truly.
    But there's one of the proofs, IF Jesus Christ wasn't true, people wouldn't have such a strong response regarding mentioning His name.
    Anyway...I did appreciate your tour, I too have done a couple of tours on my recumbent trike. The struggles that you had on your tour will be remembered by you for a lifetime; even though in those moments were absolutely aggravating.
    P.S. what type of tires were you running on?
    Marathon Plus tires are absolutely the best for touring.
    Curious, how much money did this whole tour cost: food, repairs and new replacements, camping stays/hotels, etc.???
    Nice ending commentary summarizing your trip.

      Full cost including bike, flights, everything was around 6k: 3k for gear and 3k on the road. Could've been less but I was on a 4000 calorie diet
