Oh my !!!! you guys need a grammy for this production and Neil & Blake need Oscars !!! What a fantastic film , way beyond a vlog it's an epic film ! You guys couldn't have written a better script before you left for this trip ....... Ok .... the Don crashing wasn't good or nice for him and he certainly suffered for his art here but ........ it's transcended into what has to be the best GMBN video so far. For the record YES keep making this type film covering big adventures , there are plenty ( too many ) videos out there of trails being ridden and lots of "how too" tutorials from lots of different channels but nothing that matches the quality of production and content that matches these type of BIG trips. Your brothers over at EMBN also excel in this area too BTW . Glad to see Neil slowly improving and back infant of the camera again this week and BIG UP to Bing Bong for carrying on with the mission toward the end ....... superb guys thank you

GMBN is a true brotherhood. I really do enjoy this channel. Great work, keep it up and I look forward to Neil smashing this race in the near future!!

Ouch! Great video all around. I noticed that Neil mentioned breathing exercises when the pain meds weren't enough. I have found breathing awareness exercises (often done in a very mellow, discrete way on the fly) to be a real quality of life booster. Everything from bored at work to annoying traffic to dealing with people to enduring pain, it is an amazing addition to one's day to day internal toolkit.
