Bikepacking The Cordillera Real | Part 3

[@mtbwithtfb]

Mad respect to you guys. What an epic adventure!

[@natehills9388]

Good as it gets!

[@Montblanc1986]

This was a souvenir you were able to share with the world. Thanks Nate !

[@natehills9388]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@irmao_do_jorel162]

This video was really good! Those gentlemen from the countryside riding their bikes, it was really cool. The images of this place are incredible.

[@ToddNZMTB]

That was well worth excavating from the archives 👍🏻

[@natehills9388]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@stumpy25lbs]

Wow. Epic. You're soo lucky! Thanks for sharing. I was lost in these videos for 40 minutes... 🙏🏼

[@natehills9388]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@АлександрРадицкий]

Continuation of the wonderful series. It's just great!

[@natehills9388]

Thanks for watching!

[@TheDingopaul]

Thanks for sharing this epic ride Nate simply awesome

[@natehills9388]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@akatz13]

yeah, daaaaaawg. what an odyssey

[@therustlerman]

OMG that exposure at 2:45

[@NH-il6uc]

Such a great adventure!

[@dajalmar]

Dude you ended in Zongo, that's my mother's home village, I used to go up that trail(walking the cows) and wondering if one day I can go down with my bike. Definitely I will do it one day

[@natehills9388]

The trail leading into Zongo is definitely worth riding, we enjoyed that section.

[@PuffinPass]

"Slight food miscalculation" a day is more than slight but it all turned out good. Crazy amount of exposure all the way down and looked super technical so you must have been burning even more calories than expected. Good thing there didn't look to be any major climbs. Thanks for sharing this truly epic ride.

[@natehills9388]

Yeah, logistics are hard when you are guessing at unknown variables. There wasn't much info on the first half of this route so we definitely under planned our caloric needs. We would have survived for a few more days without eating if we had to, haha.

[@breakaholic84]

really awesome stuff, nate!

[@natehills9388]

Thanks a ton!

[@DanMikeWardInfiniti]

No doubt, that must have been the best beer ever! Amazing!

[@natehills9388]

I still remember the flavor, haha.

[@gorkheymyla7422]

Fantastic ,amazing .👌 I am from nepal 🙏

[@LagBomer]

We understand you weren't in your 5 senses when you decided to take on this project. In any case, we'll be happy if you commit yourself again to a similar endevour. We are really enjoying this type of videos.

[@natehills9388]

This one would mean less to us if it was easier or there was more information to help with planning. The whole point was to try something that had not been done and to get in over our heads. There are few places left in this world that have not been explored or documented. These are the experiences that make for lifelong memories. Character building at it's finest. I hope I do get the opportunity to do more of this style of adventure in the future. It was a very humbling endeavor that taught me so much about myself and my friends. I am grateful for this trip.

[@LagBomer]

@@natehills9388 Beautiful!!!!!❤️

[@aadarshinisudhakar6973]

Mountain biking 💫 is amazing 💫

[@natehills9388]

No question.

[@rualert1602]

After 6 years you should be ready for another epic adventure. I'd volunteer but I'm hungry and tired.

[@natehills9388]

Almost recovered from this one, haha.

[@j-dogoverthehill2406]

Awesome accomplishment on the ride and weight loss. 😁

[@natehills9388]

This was an amazing trip but I wish I hadn't lost any weight. Our bodies were eating themselves.

[@elendoev]

What a great trip🤙🏼. The beer tastes even better after that ride😅😀. Ride on Nate.✌🏼

[@natehills9388]

For sure!!

[@michaelreed1380]

Sweet journey man! Those dudes were pretty excited to be able to ride your bikes, cool of you to let them. Thanks for the video! Also, some jerks are using your name and image to run a scam saying you are giving away a bike and helmet, just FYI and everyone else.

[@natehills9388]

Those guys were so interested in our bikes, had to let them have a rip.

[@advanceideas00]

Get a heart love with Nate Hills

[@GekoMax]

mega. Super movie. what machine do you use for such trips? Sat 130 or 150.

[@natehills9388]

This was filmed on my 55 as it was 2016. A proper rig she was!

[@GekoMax]

cool. I have Sat 150. What would you recommend for such trips? Sat 150 or Sat 130 if I had to ask for recommendations?

[@jatakasawa]

How many flats on this trip? It's gorgeous but that loose, sharp rock must have laid claim to a few tires.

[@natehills9388]

Zero flats or mechanicals. I still can't believe it!

[@mtbmadman011]

Epic boys!

[@eugenespreutels8305]

That was so rad, not sure if epic really covers it. Crossing that dam was probably the scariest looking part! Lol. On a side note, someone pretending to be you hit me up with a bunch of comments about winning some giveaway and to text them back. Just thought you might want to know. Thanks for all the great content and can't wait to see where you guys ride next.

[@natehills9388]

I wish KZbin would do something about the bots!

[@patrickbarrett5790]

Sweet ending to a magnificent Journey. The view at 2:41 was amazing but made my palms sweat with the massive exposure to the left. LOL I bet you guys were super stoked to ride into the last village and crack that BEER! Huzzah! Cheers, mate!

[@natehills9388]

That beer tasted better than any I can recall, haha. Got me drunk too.

[@petedog9581]

The Andes look so much steeper than the Rockies or Sierras. Amazing.

[@natehills9388]

Super rough and jagged everywhere.

[@petedog9581]

@@natehills9388 You gotta be tough to live there and survive.

[@j_blaze2482]

So amazing!

[@BikeLifewithRob]

🤘🏽such a journey

[@shopsclose]

Hi @Nate Hills, i'd like to ask you which handlebar-bag you were using on this trip? I am planning sth for the summer and i like yours very much. Thanks! P.S.: I am thinking about the bigger one on the bottom-side, thank you!

[@robonbikes]

Stoked for you that you were able to do that, amazing! How many punctures on the trip? Crazy terrain!

[@natehills9388]

Zero flats or mechanicals strangely enough.

[@jdwells7233]

This contains crazy Hammerheads..

[@robertpaulsen5114]

Don't ya know by now... If it has to do with MTB its ALWAYS N+1. Whatever you think your gonna need.... Now add one more just incase. LOL Love the vids brother.

[@natehills9388]

That rule normally applies, but when weight is unbelievably important for efficiency, it is a delicate balance. Every gram counts on multi-day adventures like this.

[@robertpaulsen5114]

@@natehills9388 Very solid point.

[@bigbarrelbr]

Next Stop himalia or Patagonia?

[@mtbnaz3088]

I'm sure it was memorable,. but would you do it again? Or advise a good friend to ride same route?

[@natehills9388]

I can't advise that anyone try this route. I would definitely do it again though.

[@nothing1035]

i love to traveling by cycle i love your content

[@natehills9388]

Thanks for watching! Get out there!

[@SC-dc5no]

How good was that beer?

[@natehills9388]

Finest i've ever tasted!

[@SC-dc5no]

@@natehills9388 Ha Ha , know that feeling

[@onelove8062]

How do you camp at high altitude with those puny bags?

[@natehills9388]

We are carrying a 4 person tent and warm bags. All you really need.

[@TapioBlue]

Wow, how did the "dudes" get to that job site? Around my city it's 6 guys watching one guy barely work.

[@natehills9388]

People with less means tend to have a better work ethic. They probably walk hours in and out each day. These dudes were tough as nails.

[@ForcesPlay]

Loved the small interaction with the locals! They propably have never seen such a bike before, you made their day by letting them ride

[@natehills9388]

They were definitely intrigued by our bikes. They were stoked to ride!

[@jackspicer3470]

This is a weird e-bike build video

[@natehills9388]

Strangest ever.

[@cellphonenut]

Definitely a test of will the will to keep on going so I can have My well-deserved cocktail at the bottom

[@cellphonenut]

Man you guys had to been feel tattered by this point I can’t imagine a ride this long in this elevation and that terrain 👏💪💪💪💪💪💪💵💵😬😬

[@natehills9388]

We were definitely a bit out of it at this point, ha.
