Wow. I’ve watched some other videos of this journey, but you managed to capture the magnificence of this great place so beautifully. It really felt like we were along with you for the ride. It must’ve been quite a bit of work putting this video together, but I tell ya, those of us lucky to have watched it really did enjoy it. So many of us due to circumstances won’t be able to do trips like this and thanks to those like you and the work you do we can still experience far corners of the world. Thanks. And thanks for your positive attitude throughout.

thanks for tips I plan to do this trip next year on KTM390ADV I did 5k miles 3 years ago on 3 week trip I used very small tent But do see value on bigger tent I person less is more but comfort is critical for long trip

@onemilemore541 6 күн бұрын

@@williamwallace5711 good to hear, sounds like the 390 would be a fun bike 👍🏻 As for tents, I suppose it’s a matter of preference. I totally get the whole minimalist approach and understand why people prefer smaller tents. But this weekend I went out for a ride and used my old two-man tent and was missing my big one. Nice to be able to stand up inside. However, it is a whole lot bigger and bulkier to pack, and of course, heavier… Personally, I prefer the bigger tent, but I get the impression I am part of the minority. Most important I feel, is that you’re getting out there. All the best on your future adventures and thank you for watching and commenting!

@@dougnash6316 very true! There’s probably as many ways of doing that trip as there are people that take it. Since taking the trip, I’ve seen other videos of people that saw way more sites along the Dempster than I did. I do enjoy riding at a slightly faster pace, but I’m sure I missed a lot. Guess I’ll have to do it again 😉 Yes, the Versys did just fine and probably would’ve been OK without the more aggressive front tire since, as you stated, the weather turned out quite good.

I said the video is long, perhaps it is not important. 😶 But soon the scene changed...I said this is exactly what I enjoy watching I expected it to be good, but I didn't expect to enjoy it all that much In fact, your photography and editing were more than wonderful.. some scenes were magical 👌🏻 Indeed, you gave us a very beautiful journey.

Thanks so much! I’m honestly not sure about the factory luggage. I’ve never looked closely at the way they mount to the bike. I’ve always thought it’s cool how they latch on without a bunch of bars going everywhere. I suppose worst case scenario, you could wrap a ratchet strap around them to hold them on.
