Idaho BDR Episode 3 "I lost everything"

[@dermotsomers]

Don't worry man, we'll be here waiting for you when you get out again. Keep it going, you do great vids.

[@solomoto4706]

Yep, that sucks. Good excuse to get out there and make more BDR content. Cheers!🍻

[@mikek6293]

Just found your channel. It’s a great watch. Sorry not to be able to see the end of the adventure. Looking forward to your next one.

[@samjtrost]

Sorry man, that sucks. I'm in southeast Idaho and am planning an IDBDR trip this summer, greatly encouraged by your videos. I'll keep following, looking forward to what comes next.

[@timcampbellcampbell3086]

Chin up! Memories are still in your head to ponder for years. You will just have to ride it again. You have inspired me to ride Idaho BDR this summer. I am jacked!

[@backcountryadvmoto]

Thanks for the kind words. Yep definitely looking forward to doing it again

[@rayfriend7450]

I was so looking forward to more of this series. Cheer up I volunteer to go with you to re-do it

[@erik19731]

No apologies needed. Thanks for all the great videos!!

[@spuddoright1970]

Ride it again! I bought a house west of Boise years ago but can't move until this fall, but you've gotten me very excited for the back-country opportunities there. I have a plated WR, but plan on trading my street bike for an ADV bike, largely motivated by your videos! I look forward to doing some of the BDR routes and doing some fishing in those beautiful rivers! Thanks for the motivation and keep up the good work!

[@backcountryadvmoto]

That’s awesome to hear. Thanks for the support. The community on this channel is awesome

[@jameshebert3635]

Don't feel down man. I was afraid you were going to say that your bike rolled off a cliff! I am glad that you and your group are safe. I would love to hear of any crazy events that happened on part 3 of the trip. Maybe grab a few pic's from the guys. Keep your head up and keep making these videos. Its really inspired me to get our there and ride more. Thanks again and don't sweat it.

[@user-zo6xg8bx4l]

I'm sorry to hear about this. I've been using computers ever since the original IBM PC with two floppy drives. I learned early on THE HARD WAY that you can never back up too often. Good luck!

[@GhostRiderADV]

Hey man I know it sucks Im just glad you are picking yourself up and making new vids. Cant wait for more great things from you.

[@davidtrotter7488]

That's unfortunate, but wont stop me watching everything you upload going forward. Take care bud.

[@AT2021Rocker]

Get back on it man! Hey, I’ve really enjoyed what you have put out! Keep going, life is full of bumps!

[@themanisingh]

That's absolutely fine, no worries. Wish you good luck for more upcoming rides.

[@jhngix]

Sorry to hear you lost all your hard work. Love your videos, hoping to someday ride northern Idaho and see some of that in person.

[@adventuretherapy3632]

I feel for you man and I appreciate what you do so keep doing what you do. I understand the tremendous amount of work that you put into your channel and appreciate it. So thanks for entertaining me and keep the rubber side down.

[@backcountryadvmoto]

Thanks so much for the support. It’s definitely hard to stay motivated when you get kicked in the balls like that, but just got to keep moving forward and I’ll have new stuff out soon.

[@adventuretherapy3632]

@@backcountryadvmoto Yup it’s nut buster. Looking forward to whatever is next. Have a great safe riding season maybe I’ll bump into you somewhere out on the road or trail. Enjoy fellow ADV riders. Live to ride and stay safe.....

[@motopacking]

Man, as someone that lost and entire Alaska trip to a dead hard drive , I feel your pain! Look at it as an excuse to knock out another trip! Cheers man.

[@cravspeed]

Thank you sir for the update. Please keep your head up! I enjoy your vids. Looking forward to your future projects

[@victorkelley5097]

Can't wait to see what other videos you got, a huge bummer about the lost footage but... I know you'll make some EPIC footage down the line.

[@toddgardner3088]

Don't beat yourself up on that man... there are tons of vids you've done and we have plenty to watch... stuff happens and we get through it.... keep up the good work!

[@sdgoert]

Aw man, sorry to hear. Was thoroughly enjoying the series. The IDBDR is definitely on the short list to complete. An idea for a consolation ride (instead of repeating, the IDBDR, which would still be awesome): Have you ever ridden the "Tour of Idaho" route? Specifically the T3 route for dual sports. They say it's appropriate for all but the largest ADVs (some rather technical terrain), but much of it looks oh so scenic!!

[@DavidHathaway]

I am so sorry for your (our) loss. That sucks so much. Pretty much my worst fear after a trip. I feel good you. . But please know that I'll still follow you. Africa Twins unite!

[@backcountryadvmoto]

Thanks David. That’s one thing that keeps me going with this channel is the community. Everybody here is awesome.

[@klrguy7305]

Sorry that happened man; loved what I did see. I’m in Oregon. I’ve road through some of those places. You do great work. You ever want a die hard KLR guy to come along just say the word.

[@HossADV]

I’m so bummed for you! I was really looking forward to the next video in the Idaho series................My heart sank when I watched this explanation. Great job on the videos though, and please keep them coming! You need to make one about your tiny-house! I’m really interested.

[@ClinttheGreat]

Tough break, but shit happens. Keep ridin', the first two videos were awesome. I've been lucky enough to have ridden a lot of the Idaho BDR, just not all at once. Great ride. Look forward to more ride reports.

[@rustyspiker3569]

Sometimes shit happens! Not to worry. Make videos and have fun! With so much going on in the US NOW this is just a blip. Looking forward,to seeing what your future brings. Have a great spring and summer!!

[@bobmattice4600]

Ah that totally sucks but that’s ok dude. Do what you can. Look forward to whatever videos you put out. Keep riding man. 🤙🏻

[@DorkintheRoad]

Dude, that sucks. I'm so sorry to hear it.

[@backcountryadvmoto]

Yes it does. The shit part is the drive that crashed was my back up because my original drive was lost and I never backed up my back up. Lol. Bought a SanDisk extreme 2Tb as my primary editing drive and will now have 2 copies till the editing is done haha.

[@MotoCampNerd]

It's like a swift kick between the legs. That really sucks. I think everyone who does enough photography, videography or art has had some sort of data loss and it just makes you sick. Glad your getting back to it! We think we will have to come test out this tiny house some time in Idaho 😁

[@Crittermoto]

Dam dude, that sucks! Tech issues can really sting. It’s hard to keep creating afterwards cuz the frustration takes the fun out of it, I feel ya! Cool tiny house tho 👍🏻 We’ll all patiently wait for new videos and still support ya along the way. Cheers!

[@backcountryadvmoto]

Thanks Critter 👍🏻 it was Definitely a motivation suck. But yeah headed to Oregon today to help my buddy out again and will be back this weekend and get back on the horse and start putting out new content

[@joshleal9811]

Don't worry and never give up Just what you do best... ride, enjoy and share..

[@jrdepew]

Rode WABDR and much of IDBDR last year just ahead of your ride. Hey, organize a redo! North to South! Meanwhile, waiting for Beer & Gear. Drinking “Moose Drool” from Big Sky Brewing Co, Missoula, MT myself. Cheers.

[@motorcyleadventuringwithmi2778]

Sucks! But, gives you all the reason in the world to do it again.....I'll be on the IDBDR this July and look forward to seeing your new place....possibly. IMO, do a vid on the build of the 'guest' quarters.

[@scudrunneradv3269]

Sorry to hear that. Was looking forward to the last of the trip. But you’re young and will be able to do it again. Don’t wait to long. I don’t have as much time as you. Lol

[@backcountryadvmoto]

😂 noted 👍🏻

[@damienkeygan1735]

Bad news mate. Chin up and kick on, I’ll be waiting here in Australia for your next clip, I reckon you do the best BDR clips on ‘ tube🏍👌🏼🍺

[@joefromcolville6539]

Well, that just means you need to get another ride together and redo it. It was awesome. I totally enjoyed it. I would love to ride with you on a ride. Nice scenery.

[@butcherknife59knife46]

Bummer Im sure the rest of the trip was amazing. Around Bend Oregon out!

[@jeancurry8375]

Well Kyle, that leaves you with only one thing left to do. Re do the Idaho BDR. 😁 You said yourself that that series is the one most watch. As a businessman, that should tell you that you should do another. Besides, its not like it is a bad ride. The wife and I did, or tried to do section 7 this last weekend and got lost, navigation died, we froze in the tent due to temps dropping to freezing, the bike almost didn't start in the morning, none of my video worked and missed landscape and a head on encounter with a moose, and all of this 2 up. Still fun, but nervous. We were by ourselves. But we made it out alive. 😀

[@fortheloveofknobs]

Super bummer man! I feel for you. Worst case scenario for KZbinrs. Keep at it buddy.

[@backcountryadvmoto]

Much appreciated. Gotta love the community on this channel. You guys rock

[@ronalvey103]

I’ve done pictures and video, for a living, my whole life. When doing an important project, I always copy the files to an external hard drive AND keep the files, on their original cards, until I have the project done and delivered. It takes a bit of organizing but it is worth it in the long run.

[@backcountryadvmoto]

Yes, since this problem I double back up my work every night at camp. When I get home I then transfer a copy to another hard drive. 3 copies may be overkill, but I know I’ll never have this problem again. Thanks

[@ronalvey103]

The key part is keep the original cards (I place them in a separate bag, with a note in the bag, what job it is), and don't use them for anything else. Of course, you have to have a boatload of cards....but they are relatively cheap.

[@cyclinggospel5307]

thing happens. I liked your video. Not a place to stop or give up. Keep going!

[@adventuremulemoto]

Bummer man...I know how it feels cuz I have dealt with it myself. Keep at it. Your stuff kicks ass!

[@elgringoec]

Huge bummer. Shit happens. Live and learn. Life goes on. Happy trails ahead.

[@ColoradoDualSport]

As an IT guy and also a moto vlogger this is one of my worst nightmares. I have a server rack in my basement with a 12 disk raid 6 array that holds all of my footage since 2013. Two disks can fail before any loss occurs. Also, when I go on a multi day trip I keep my footage on my SD cards and also copy it off at night to a portable SSD via my tablet. You could say I'm a little insane about it, but so far so good. If I can be of any help, let me know. How exactly did the SSD "crash"?

[@DispatchMoto]

Bummer about the footage loss. I've definitely been there and can relate about the sadness that comes with it. Really, it just gives you a reason to do it all again (if you do, give me a call).

[@thunderfromsea]

Dude. Bite me, that did suck. As my old Marine (I know, you were Army fodder!) unit slang went - “Semper Gumby.” But I’ve thoroughly enjoyed your journeys and content. Keep up that personable approach and the rest of us will just flex along with you on those damn SNAFU moments as they inevitably come along.

[@RideWithFrank]

Nooooo 😓What a pity! These things happen unfortunately. In the past I have lost an entire HD with many important photos and videos. It leaves you really bad.

[@alltruckeredout]

Sorry to hear it man. S*** happens. Don't worry, everybody will still be here when you post new stuff.

[@jimpratson7026]

Shit happens, the important thing is that you have the memories and everyone is healthy. Looking forward to new content.

[@jjteal6272]

Oh man that sucks!! Sorry to hear that. I was wondering what kind of exhaust you run on the AT? That thing sounds like a beast! Looking forward to some more riding videos. Keep up the good work!

[@lytlejohnson6551]

ah Bummer, really enjoyed episode 1 and 2 thanks for the great content

[@9ictv2]

Sorry to hear that...but I hope, like a lot of others, that you’ll move on from this and make more videos that you’re getting real good at! Looking for the next one!😎

[@ShunzeyBunzer]

Bright side is you live in a really beautiful spot! Don’t give away any secrets, but may I ask what general area of N. Idaho you’re in? Be well, and we look forward to the next gear and 🍺!

Damn...sorry dude!! Looking forward to the next one!! ✌🏼

[@backcountryadvmoto]

Thanks for the comment. Getting back up and running soon.

[@zeusbb]

Bummer! I had that happen on my trip up North. An entire card was corrupted which is the one I used to start the trip. I still haven’t edited that video with the footage I do have.

[@MotoSly]

Yes here he is again!!!!! it's sad news... but we still love seeing you buddy!

[@backcountryadvmoto]

Thanks for the kind words

[@509FUN]

Lost and corrupted footage happens man, forget it and just move on it’s not worth losing sleep over! First two episodes were enough to convince me to try that ride soon!

[@lucimoto2922]

Learn from mistakes, that's the most important thing

[@DollyAndFamilyGetOutAndRide]

Sorry to hear about this. We know that you'll be making new videos of your next rides and maybe your tiny house when it's done we would like to see that. We will be here, you make good videos, so whatever is next I'm sure you have lots of people watching. But we know how disappointed it is to have something like that happen I'm sure everybody understands, chin up.

[@dannyjohnston1872]

Oh well S@#t happens don’t let it bring you down you have made some great vids I’m new to your channel and enjoy your channel. Keep it coming 😀🇨🇦

[@TBdown70]

That sucks man i have had that happen with my gopro before had a hole ride from east coast to Colorado on card and lost the hole GOPRO was bummed for weeks bra

[@laggmonkei]

You could look into a drive recovery service. Depending on the worth of the data offcourse but pretty much unless its physically destroyed there's not much stopping them these days.

[@MontanaDirtRoads]

I've been there, lost alot of footage during a down load...didn't have any backups..

[@desertdaveadv404]

Sorry dude happened to me to on a local trail but one I don’t know if I’ll do again

Shit happens Brother! The first two videos were awesome. Would you attempt the lookout again on a big bike? Couldn't tell just how bad that section is. The BMW1250 in general will tractor up some gnarly crap, view were awesome be doing thsi route in Sept! Thanks for the awesome footage.

[@backcountryadvmoto]

Oh heck yeah, I’d do it again. If you noticed, two 1200s made it up behind me👍🏻

Hi, so sad for what happened to all your BDR footage, but you are going to make new ones and this time....you are going to back them up....right?

[@backcountryadvmoto]

Absolutely. Like I said I normally do but for some reason just didn’t on this one and Murphy made me pay!

[@PiGnarSquared]

At least your bike is still running. 👍🏼 Onward!

[@kevinlancaster5714]

I'm sure you've already read this a hundred times since your loss, buuuuuut.......I do photography and use Adobe lightroom and photoshop, so, because of my fear of loss I have two seperate hard drives with my lightroom catalog installed, two laptops with the same catalog, and my desktop, also with the catalog backed up onto. Probably got some OCD kickin in there, but I do feel a lot more secure after hearing your horror story. Used to be stuff like that was only lost in fires or water damage. Now, a simple failure of a device means the end of it all.

[@blackswanodysseys]

Bummer, been there and done that. Just curious, how old was your SSD? I recently switched to SSD hard drives figuring they would last way longer. Eric

[@chappie7523]

Crap happens. Glad I found this channel 🤙

I still think the two videos of the IdBDR were sick and it was a good trip shit happens and what can you do ,go on another trip lol

[@carboncoffey]

Sorry about the loss. Footage can be replaced...do the IDBDR again and replace it? Check email from A to Z, have something for the Africa Twin. Should cheer you up.

[@Rustyfinger]

It’s all part of the adventure, you get back up, dust yourself off and get back on.

[@ArizonaAdv]

It sucks that happened to me twice . I lost all my camping videos , repair videos . Really takes the wind out of your sails . Did for me .Guess you have to ride it all over again . RIDE ON.

[@backcountryadvmoto]

Thanks for the comment. I actually didn’t think of that. Guess I’ll have to do it all over again 😂

[@MirchiBoy]

That sux. Sorry that happened. If you use GoPros, you could try the continuous loop recording to cut down on file sizes. You could stop the recording when cool stuff happens and the clips would be 5 minutes or smaller. Making things a little bit more manageable. You probably already know about this, I'm trying to stay constructive lol

Can't you upload them from KZbin?

I could. Obviously the first two episodes are on the Internet forever, but what I’m really bummed about is not being able to finish the trip. All the video from the end of the second episode to the end of the ride is gone so no way to really finish out the ride

[@pinkiewerewolf]

Bummer but it happens. At least this isn't about losing everything to a fire, or a crash. If everyone is OK, then it's all good.

Spinrite software - it works. Not sure much else does.

[@backcountryadvmoto]

Thanks

[@michaelhazen8658]

That will teach you to not have a backup. Sucks but live and learn

[@MusicByJC]

Sometimes there are ways to recover data on damaged drives. There are places that recover data for a fee. It depends on how much the data is worth to you. Is it worth $1000? If so, I believe they can do it for far less than that. Sometimes portions of data will be lost but you can get most back. I had this happen to me with some work data that I spent a lot of time on. In that case, it was a no brainer to pay some money to get what I could from the damaged drive. And I was happy with result. I got 95% of the data recovered if I remember right. Good luck.

[@wayward03]

I'm pretty sure you can recover that data but it won't be cheap.

[@DirtRiderLife]

That does suck, previous BDR vids are very good, best insight of the route I've seen. Learn and move on

[@steveh545]

might be in the comments below...but there are companies ($$) that can recover data from a drive. Some techy dudes in Israel, or some teen-ager in his mom's basement. I've done it. Not cheap, but recovered some photos. It's all good. Keep riding and filming.

[@hardworkingamerican8847]

You have so many blessings people would cry if they had just a little of it . You have beautiful family friends land work ethic abilities and talent from God . I just lost my mother in law to a mistake in a surgery . She should be recovering and soon to come home but she died last night . No my sweetheart has lost her mother and I feel a great loss also . It's okay about the harddrive . These crappy things happen . We all look forward to your videos and you'll come out with some great ones in the many years left you have riding . I missed out on several properties because I was waiting for the right time to go look at them . All but 3 or so are still on the market so it's back to surfing the web again for months maybe . My main problem is buying land in California . I love the land and hate the politics . So I am kinda trapped . Don't want to give a cent to any tyrant government any liberal establishment elitists or any business that complies with tyranny and it's almost impossible not to do . Anyway I would love it if Texas became independent and Southern Oregon Northern California and Idaho made a new Declaration of independence abidding and true Constitutional state .

[@mx5701]

Well, it's a good cautionary tale for any KZbinr out there who also doesn't give a shit about a proper backup strategy. You've been a content creator for the last 4(!) years. That's plenty of time to set up a NAS with RAID and an off-site backup. Sorry bro. I hope you figured out how to securely back up your stuff with a 3-2-1 backup scheme in the meantime instead of moping around.

[@backcountryadvmoto]

Haha thanks. It was more complicated than just losing the files, but yeah, I have back ups for back ups for back ups now. Lol
