Southern Arizona is in my opinion a surprisingly beautiful area of our country. When the cactus are in bloom, the area has a magical quality. I visited Tucson and Central to South Eastern Arizona years ago when my youngest son was in grade school. My son and I flew into Phoenix and we spent four days and traveled to see the area. We also visited the Grand Canyon, and that region, which being in a higher elevation has it's own beauty. What was a surprising treat to me was the forested areas. I think maybe a lot of us older people got the impression from old TV westerns that Arizona is a dry wasteland. Some is, but some is anything but that. And there's a lot of wildlife there. My older brother lives outside of Phoenix and has spoken of the outdoors there in the winter and spring. It's a great time to travel and camp there. I look forward to doing mt own ADV bike travel there. Thanks Sterling your videos bring memories, and the urge to go back soon. Shout out to Eva, BTW. How many girls would have the adventurous spirit of Eva ? So Cool ! A lovely lady..

Hi, I am an Iraqi man living in Iraq, I really enjoyed this episode, I will follow you all the time because you are great persons. Yours; Thamir Murad - Baghdad, Iraq.

[@tonyosullivan6137]

So nicely paced, just the opposite of what some riders mistakenly think motorcycling is about. Arizona is so mysterious and beautiful. Truly sterling work!! Greetings from Ireland

[@FullThrottleCA]

Love your ability to get people watching the whole video without any dialogue or conversations. You really have a talent to shoot such amazing videos! 😎✌️

[@charliem5332]

So I sat down with my rashers, pancakes and coffee on this glorious Easter Sunday morning to watch this and I began to get emotional at the sheer beauty of this production. Thank you Sterling. This is just wonderful and makes me want to go places. Quiet places. Best yet.

[@chamade166]

I must say I don’t understand motorcycle camping. Wearing so much protective gear which makes you isolated from the air/elements. Makes hiking or other activities very difficult during the trip.

[@chipm2544]

You dress for the slide, not the ride. It is an investment in being safe.

[@tbonedaddy11]

Spot on Sterling beautiful just beautiful.

[@danmoore6195]

@@chamade166 You are absolutely right. You don't understand motorcycle camping...

[@OneManTrail]

The sound mix on this film is perfection. The layering of sound effects under the primary music track is delicate and nuanced in a way few KZbinrs can accomplish. Well done, its one of your very best and was effortless to watch. I will use it as a masterclass.

[@topixfromthetropix1674]

He did a good job. I worked as a sound mix engineer on many music tours and although the gear is different, Premiere Pro has a number of audio tracks that can be manipulated individually. It also helps if you have enough subscribers to get paid to invest in this level of time consuming editing or a staff, I'm a one man army so perfection crosses the line of diminishing returns. Regards!

[@joeyanderson_advmoto]

I feel like I just watched the first place video of an indie travel film competition. Amazing and most inspiring.

[@davestafford3749]

Absolutely your best video yet. Great camera work.

[@NotNowCato1254]

Seconded. To the point and spot on.

[@SterlingNoren]

Wow, thanks! You've seen a lot over the years so that means something!

[@BlackThor15]

22 minutes of pure joy, inspiration, motivation and all what motorcycling adventure is all about. Brilliant, simply brilliant!! Thank you Sterling!! 👍👍

[@glenfitzgerald9295]

i dont think i blinked the whole time i watched this,awesome,so awesome to watch.

[@timdeslauriers6879]

Sterling for a guy stuck in the Pacific North West with every mountain pass choked with snow this was just the type of film to inspire & remind you spring brings summer and clear roads. So we can have our own adventures or finally get our $hit together and move south!! Fantastic movie and as always you make it look ridiculously easy. Thanks for all the effort you put into this!! Amazing cinematography that fuels the rest of us and our passion to get out there!

[@907_Slaughter]

Sterling, your work speaks volumes-without saying anything. Beautiful! Thank you, and…Cheers!

[@adventuremulemoto]

Wow. I mean WOW! Simply excellent. I hope you two pinch yourself every day as a reminder how glorious life can be! Thank you for providing a great start to my day.

[@gpk7683]

I watched this one on the big screen. Had to bring it up on the IPad to like and comment. What a great episode: my favorite so far. You guys are the best.

[@SterlingNoren]

Big screen is the best!

[@iluvutubetube]

I can’t stop watching all your series what an amazing adventure

[@TheBikeguy72]

Good on you Man for creating such a great life for yourself! The power of MANIFESTATION at work. This video is a whole nother level of sensory candy. Thank you for doing what you do!

Hi sterling and eva. Beautiful video So peaceful and relaxing. thank you for Taking us along. Stay safe. Old dave (UK)

[@rjeepster8640]

I love how you show the whole process of camping without all the theories and tedious explanations! What a joy to watch!

[@SterlingNoren]

Thank you very much!

[@mattashauer6310]

This was a beautiful and calming and well executed video. The stronger emphasis of the music over the talking, created an intimate viewing experience. Cheers!

[@jaronard1]

What I love about your videography is how you can focus on certain small and otherwise meaningless actions or objects, and use those aspects to create a certain immersive feel and realism of being there. That ability of yours shines through in all of your videos, and this one was no exception. No doubt a style and skill in your craft that has taken decades to develop and refine. Keep rockin it dude!

[@eriksilva4690]

Super clean production. I also learned that my camp cooking skills are inadequate. You guys are on a whole other level!

[@leftystrat62]

I can't tell you how good this is making me feel as I watch it. Thank you for sharing. cheers

[@simonsrides7693]

Just beautiful cinema photography as always Sterling.... so pleased my good friend Sam Manicom introduced me to your channel. Inspiring. Ride safe. Simon.

[@kevinroberts361]

Dang you Sterling.... Where is Eva's twin sister, you lucky dog. Haha. Thank you so much for the Hollywood level production for us Dirt biking, camping and adventure junkies. I got me a VW Touareg w a WR 250 R and a bumper carrier. I am going out west to explore, thank you for the continued inspiration and beautiful views of America that most will never see.

[@MarkKeckeis]

The best adventure videos on KZbin and a new Africa twin!!! Nice

[@andesmotoadventure]

Carrying a cold beer is by far the best thing that I have learned, something that I will do when traveling with hot weather. Beautiful scenarios, nice photography, congratulations.

[@deanmalkewich2366]

I agree. My recent insulated bottle purchase was based on how effectively I can fit 2-3 beers in it. Great idea.

[@stephenalbert856]

You make me feel relaxed just watching this video. Thank you both.

[@johnoneil4688]

Quite possibly your best work to date! If uTube had an awards show this would win hands down.

[@jodye613]

I really like the simplicity and evokative nature of this video. The sparseness of dialouge emphasizes the relationship we have with the landscape which you have captured beautifully.

Darn it I was supposed to be going to bed and I found this, a fantastic, a great adventure, a joy to watch on a freezing UK evening, oh well it’s going to be one of those difficult to get out of bed mornings!, I’m sure the boss will understand!!!

[@VikashSainVlogs]

I loved watching moto camping video of both of you।. I want to tell you i wanted to do moto camping myself for many days but due to job and studies i am not able to fulfill this dream but after watching your video Motivation is born in me . very nice video . enjoy moto camping and bike riding. A lot of thank you.

[@mikefyten7761]

I spend each winter, from Dec to Mar, in AZ riding my bikes. I recognize many of your rides. This video was so nice..had a peaceful and calming nature to it. I always enjoy your videos Sterling..thank you.

[@gdroege44]

Excellent way to enjoy the day. Great video. Love the drone footage. Sure wish I knew more about it. 👍👍

[@patrickcooper9641]

Hello Eva and Sterling, you two are an absolute bundle of joy to watch. Sterling, your cinematography is absolutely perfect, worst at least a nomination for an Indie Film. Thank you for making my Easter weekend a happy one. I love watching Eva's smile and the interaction between you two. You surely cook well together. Out of 112 comments, 110 of them are positive, 2 where in some foreign language that I could not translate o:)) Plus the usual few "haters" ! I was going to give you my usual "thumb up" but I was very disappointed that Eva did not make her famous cocktail! Just kidding. I guess you don't bring alcohol while on the bike. Happy Easter weekend to both. Cheers/Ciao.

[@SterlingNoren]

Well no fancy cocktail this time but we did have some beer and whiskey!

[@Liberty4Ever]

I always appreciate when someone takes the time and trouble to make a video of their motorcycle adventures but this was incredible! You not only spent an enormous amount of time and effort to get these amazing shots, your artistry in setting up the shots and editing far exceeded what I could have accomplished no matter how much time and effort I expended. I particularly appreciate how the singular focus was on the natural beauty of the natural world around you, interspersed with quiet moments at camp immersed in that natural world. I've been wanting to ride in southern Arizona and do some dispersed motorcycle camping, and this mini documentary showcasing the desert beauty has made this a bucket list item for me. Thank you!

[@SterlingNoren]

Thank you, it is such a pleasure to be able to spend time in the desert, especially with someone you love and enough time to relax and enjoy the beauty of the surroundings. Add some good food and drink and its a recipe for a beautiful experience isn't it?

[@klancymalone9866]

Great video guys, I actually caught myself grinning as I pictured myself riding some of those beautiful dirt roads you have in AZ.

[@Pierrelaliberte]

Very nice cinematography! Great memories of our time spent in your part of the world.

Awesome, thank you!

That's how the rich ride. Curated. Nice scenery and photography.

[@richardthomson203]

Great video ! and how nice to be able to ride/film and camp/cook in dry warm weather. Doing all that in pouring rain is just not an option.....Makes me jealous we don't have enough of that weather here in the UK ! 👍

Sterling ! Great trip and cooking. I really love your calm videos.
