Got the link to your videos from the Chip’s latest update email! My dad and I have been all 3 (and now 4th upcoming) years as well, and we stayed in the same cabin that you and your brother are in here back in 2021 for the first year of the event. Beautiful view of Bear Butte from the front door, and we made some lifelong friends at the adjacent cabins that we’ve been riding with every year. Hope to see you there this year!

Hi Amanda!! You and Gary make a great team!!

[@AstheMagpieFlies]

Thank you!!

[@redrockpanda]

CFMOTO 800 here in Australia has the same fuelling issues. Running 95 fuel helped. Sealing the air filter properly helped. Throttle reset helped. Software update helped. All fixes helps the fuelling issue but never gets rid of it completely. The twitchy throttle doesn’t let you coast along without that surging feeling. After nearly two years of dealing with it in the hopes that a better software update will be released, that never happened, I sold the bike. It’s a shame because the bike has a lot to offer. But CFMOTO need to focus on the bikes they have already released and fix issues. But instead they are only looking at their next range of bikes. The reason why I didn’t buy the upcoming 450 they are releasing soon.

[@AstheMagpieFlies]

I definitely don't take it for granted!

[@Bweizr]

I like the bit about "packing our fears." I hadn't heard it before, but it makes sense, especially when I looked into the context of backpacking where it seems to have originated. My first moto-camping trip, I had a massive military-issue rucksack (think the ones they issued in the late 2000s, not the smaller green Vietnam-era ones) and both saddlebags stuffed full for two nights away from home. I've added the Pioneer Mountain Scenic Byway and Coolidge to my travel wishlist, but they're a good 1200 miles away and I'll probably have to wait a little while until I can take the time. This weekend, I'm headed east to watch the solar eclipse, and I'm planning to stop at Carlsbad Caverns in the way and tour the Big Room. Already got my timed entry ticket!

[@t0m0tech]

really nice video, I really like the landscapes you go through, so different from Italy. Then the possibility of camping more freely is definitely more fun! Nice new stove, although it is really big!

[@sheraleeronan2326]

@@AstheMagpieFlies Yes, you need good control over your breathing and movements. The slightest flick of your "flippers" can stir up silt. The same skills are needed for wreck diving. Its dark, small space, like a labyrinth, and often deep deep and dark. But ever so fun and rewarding.

[@BobGrimminger]

I wonder if you might save space and weight just bringing two backpacking stoves and isopro cans rather than that huge two burner and a propane can.

[@AstheMagpieFlies]

We would still have the problem that isobutane just doesn't cook a large amount of food (like for four people) at an efficient rate because the burners are so small and concentrated on a small part of the pot. It just takes longer to evenly heat a large amount of food. Hence why I brought the Genesis. 👍 You could make the argument of using a butane stove that looks like a thick text book which would technically be thinner that the Genesis. Since I didn't really need two burners, just a larger and more efficient one 👍

[@artmonk5907]
