Escaping Bolivia's Lagunas Route (S3:E60)

[@bullaschonken521]

Glad you are ok and staying sane God bless and many more enjoyable miles ❤

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Maybe not sane, but we're doing great! 😁 God bless you too!! 🫂

[@johngambit356]

Glad you were not seriously injured. Keep on riding and stay safe!

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Thank you!!

[@DeweyRides]

Dang. I'll be up there next week, it is forecast to be stupid cold, I'm just going to do the eastern route though, not into Laguna Colorado. You two are legends, well done, despite the setbacks.

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Legends for all the wrong reasons!! 😀 Be careful if there is snow on the ground. I know a Dutch rider that damn near lost his life after getting stuck in the snow out there. It's cold enough on a warm day!!

[@8rett]

Feasting on the leftovers of the tour groups sounds EXACTLY like what you guys would do hahaha. Glad you made it out! Can't wait to see the next installment in the series!

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Ha ha... Not the first time eating leftovers, probably won't be the last... 😂

[@rileyjones650]

Excellent work!

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Thank you!

[@terrybuccambuso7917]

I recently bailed on a route that became too “adventurous”…after watching your “adventure”, I realized I made the right decision!!

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Sometimes it's better to bail and live to ride another day. But... In our case I guess there's no accounting for stubbordness (or stupid). 🤣

[@stevekeddington4382]

Thank God the people in the remote hostel spotted your headlamp

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

They knew we were fu**ed... they watched us for an hour and guided us in with a spotlight... 💚

Absoloutly an amasing episode Thank you both for the ride and the sacrifices you both are making in the name of adventure

You certainly know how to bring the adventure out of adventure riding… good fortune and opportunity presents to those willing to explore beyond the limits, eh?! I love that people with little are so willing to share. There is a life lesson there for us all. Terrific recount. You both are masters of finding humour and fun in the most dire of circumstances. Recover swiftly and safe travels to you both.

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Ha ha... yeah, we seem to stumble upon "adventure" quite often. 😬 But, alls well that ends well... Thanks for the kind words! Cheers! 🍻

Awesome video. Your best. You documented what we barely took video of. We were so cold and miserable. Rose is great person and a real adventure r. We have all traveled into this area and survived including the continous civil unresy. We will watch this over and over again

Chad you're lucky to have Rose, my wife is very understanding and adventurous but I think by now she would have been a plane back to Ohio. Glad you're ok and keep them coming.

Thank you!! 👍

[@amygregfrancisco4372]

You recently commented on another ADV rider's experience of being mugged in Belize as it being one of your greatest fears. Mine has always been getting seriously injured far from medical care. Fifty years ago when I first started exploring South America I picked up a half dozen ampules of morphine and a couple syringes from a guy who had been a medic in Vietnam. Different time, different sensibilities of course and I wouldn't risk that today. But I still make a habit of carrying a 3 day supply of (legally prescribed) Oxycontin in my med kit. Never had to use it but it's reassuring to know it's there. Good to know your fall didn't slow you down for long.

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Being mugged, getting injured, etc... doesn't worry me personally. Rose is who I'm most concerned with. Something happening to her is my worst nightmare! But luckily, as you can tell, she's pretty tough!! 💪

[@cmoreoverland6739]

Awesome experience....That is adventure.

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

[@justyouraveragejoe7359]

Another great episode. I love the way you two take the backroads. I'm trying to figure out which is the tougher of the two, you and Rose or that africa twin. Both were tested on this episode. Thanks for allowing me to tag along on my favorite KZbin channel. Happy trails you two.

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Thank you for the kind words and for supporting the channel! In order of toughness, I would have to say Rose, The Africa Twin, and then me.

Glad you two are alright. Stay safe.

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Thank you!

[@The_Wood]

Glad you are (relatively) alright from the crash. Sucks to be out in the middle of NOWHERE and have an incident like that. Ok - enough of the high desert. Ain't but so much barren and sandy landscape you can see. Find some mountains with trees and grass. Maybe even a little warmer for you to spread out by a nice stream. Being cold all the time sucks about as bad as hiking. Take care and always looking forward to the next installment. Safe travels. 🙏🏻

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Ha! Thanks... we're all for warm, but I (Chad) will take 🥶 over 🥵 any day of the week!!

[@tigercoward]

@TwoWheelsThreeSheets No need for a name change, Chad and Rose is fine. As an adventurous pair, you are equal to Scully and Mulder in my books. The difference is that I am less likely to make a sandwich for Scully and buy a beer for Mulder than I am to do so for Rose and Chad. 😁

[@philosophicalmixedmedia]

India sojourn on a bike entailed the use of google maps was far less accurate than the Garmin device with its maps and way point tracking for travel in rural locales and the Great Indian Desert in Rajasthan.

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Used a GPS for my first few months on the road and then got rid of it. It honestly wasn't much better... not to mention, getting lost is half the fun! 😁

[@philosophicalmixedmedia]

@@TwoWheelsThreeSheets True, half the fun, it’s the other half that keeps humans up at night. Metaphorically to be lost is fun, like the metaphor “lost in love”, though literally the other half gains far greater relevance as obstacles emerge. This poses an interesting dilemma for an adventure traveler. If I go for metaphorical fun I tend to bias behaviours that I know pose significant risk to future fun or the good life.

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

True!

[@joaocalatroia1735]

I have been watching your videos and they are great. Your channel is on my top 5 for sure, but I have to tell you that I am disappointed with what seems to be a role play after the crash. You were on the ground and Rose was filming you, then she is on the ground and you are filming her back... It doesn't look natural, but this is your channel and your videos. I usually keep these types of comments to myself, but I really like your channel and I thank you both for sharing these videos with all of us. Be safe and enjoy the road (or the lack of it) 😉

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

You, sir, have a keen eye! First off, thank you for the kind words and for supporting the channel. We both appreciate it! 🍻 Secondly, all of the footage as well as our reactions, etc... are genuine. There are no reenactments or roll playing. Thirdly, I do allow for a bit of "editorial license" when editing. Allow me to expain: We didn't have any actual footage of the initial crash. The GoPro wasn't running. I had been pinned under the bike and rolling around on the ground screaming (quite embarrassingly) for some time before I told Rose to start filming. Everything you saw of me sitting on the ground in front of the bike happened directly after the initial crash. The footage I used of Rose on the ground, was after one of our numerous slow speed tip overs in the sand while attempting to make it to the hostel. I edited various pieces of video from within that 90 or so minute timeframe to help illustrate the story, instead of just smash-cutting to me on the ground. The GoPro wouldn't run for more than about 30 seconds at a time due to the temperatures, so most of the actual footage we got after the crash was taken on our phones in low light, and was garbage. So we did the best we could with the footage we had to tell a compelling story. We'll never fabricate drama or lie for clicks, but I (Chad) really enjoy the editing and stort-telling process in creating these videos, so I'll always do my best to tell a compelling story. (And on occasion, be creative with my editing to help fill in the gaps.) Thanks again for all the kind words! Please hit me up with any more observations. I appreciate a keen eye! Look forward to seeing you on the next one.

[@joaocalatroia1735]

@@TwoWheelsThreeSheets thank you for replying back. I really enjoy your channel and I wish one day to be able to do the same. You both share a lot of information on the videos and that's really awesome. Your explanation helped me seeing the other side of the "story" and I am glad you didn't get offended, because of my observation. I admire your strength when faced with challenges, and the positive thinking you always have. Thanks again for sharing these videos with all of us, and for explaining to me better what happened 😉👍 You have been promoted to the top 3 😃😁

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

@joaocalatroia1735 Responding is the least we can do for someone who takes the time to watch our videos and make thoughtful comments. There are a lot of creators in our genre that unfortunately fabricate drama and resort to "overly creative" storytelling, and we certainly do not want to be thought of as one of those channels. So with that said, it's our pleasure to address any doubts you may have. Thanks again for supporting the channel! 🍻
