    The video is so great in all aspects, the music, the video parts, the fotos. And what you experienced there is awesome - You also have my full repspect for driving 1600km with 26000hm through this tough terrain. Thank you for showing us the remote parts of our beautiful planet!

    What fuel did you use for Primus? I got the same but gasoline quality is bad in Central Asia.

    • @80lives
      @80lives  6 лет назад

      Григорий Данко yeah, it was a primus multifuel and it was a nightmare in Mongolia due to bad quality gasoline. It got clogged all the time and became unusable. I ended up throwing it away. I have an MSR Whisperlite now, but I haven't tried it with bad gasoline

    i don't want to be rude, on the contrary. But how exactly do you guys pay for this kind of thing? - Do not get me wrong pls, it is outright great that you did all this. Very cool teaser, that is - would love to see more of the places you guys visited. I am also working on a more automated channel etc online - so perhaps you guys could share stuff like this instantly. You are already invited to make a Post in the: China Travel Community on Facebook. Pls find it? - And Tibet Travel Community on Facebook. I will be working on one for Mongolia as well later on (y)

    • @80lives
      @80lives  10 лет назад +8

      Hi Ben! Don't worry, I don't think is rude at all to ask. I am aware that this causes a lot of curiosity, because, when I was younger, I asked the same things myself. The real answer is actually nothing mysterious. Basically, I worked hard, lived cheaply and saved for a long time. Once you have the money, you start traveling and you do it very cheaply as well. The focus for me, is on the traveling experiencing rather than sleeping in an expensive hotel and eating in fancy restaurants like most people do when they travel. This is no vacation for me, this is no tourism, this is discovering the world and blend with the cultures. Our daily budget for this cycling trip is 10 usd a day (about 8 euros?) per person, but we actually spend less than that.
      Hope this helps :) and thank you veyr much for sharing the video. I think the ones I have in Vimeo are slightly better quality though.
      doei!

      Okay, that was highly informative. That is the way I do things, kind of - Eh, very interesting: I could tell you I am trying to change that a bit and make channels for myself & others to get more out of their work. Turns out that this is far from easy, but ... well - keep trying for now.
      Meanwhile: I hope some of the Maps, directions and such are already useful to people with likewise interest. I think your postings are awesome. Surely i have never tried to bicycle out there - i gave up after a tour around Dunhuang on a bike already. Hah.
      Ps: Feel free to keep me updated on certain things so i can throw it on Facebook, twitter and my site. Just an invitaton - seems like you have plenty to do each day already. (y) very inspring.

    • @MartinLichtblau
      @MartinLichtblau 10 лет назад

      Nicolás Marino Yes, the video & sound quality on vimeo is a bit better. Perhaps you have to upload your video in a format that youtube recommends.

      ChinaReport.com THanks a lot Chinareport :) So you live in China, right? Donghuang ! nice, I cycled from Urumqi to Xining in 10 days, that was freaking insane but loved the experience. Had I had more time I would've gone through donghuang. I lived in China for about 6 years, have cycled more than 15000 km there and loved every bit of it.

      @80lives  6 лет назад

      cada vez que encuentro electricidad, en donde quiera que sea, me pongo a cargar todo, sea durante una parada de descanso en un puestito en un pueblo o en un largo almuerzo o donde sea. Aparte de eso, llevo baterías suficientes, que estando llenas, me permiten tener carga para una semana sin acceso a electricidad, si cuido el uso del LCD
