[@JeremyRhydes]

First 200 comments get entered to win Trans-America Trail maps, a RideMore T-shirt, and a decal set!!! Let's hear your most epic riding stories below!!

[@roycollins7247]

Any way of having gas brought up by anyone following your run? How about taking gas from one bike and adding it to the second bike and ride it for gas. Gear could be removed to make for a lighter bike until you got back to the waiting bike and riding partner.

[@roycollins7247]

Just to let you know, I have been following you run since you were in Eureka, Nevada. I live near Ely, Nevada. There are some old mining roads in the mountains here that look very much like what you have just went through, but with switchbacks that are extremely tight turns. Safe trip guys!

[@terrypen]

Where are you guys located on the trail?

[@nathanbrodeur]

Jeremy Rhydes anytime you see water like that you don't have to treat it cause it's already filtered by the gravels

[@SupRBeeADV]

Sweet Adventure yall are having.. #KLR650Adventure waaahooo

[@556actual]

When off road enthusiasts pray for pavement you know it's been a rough day!

[@RobRidesCarolina]

In other words, Now would be a great time for me to attempt the TAT.. Since you guys have cleared the way! Keep living the dream guys, and I'll keep watching. 👍

[@ctmac9404]

This trip is amazing, you guys are legend! This is my favorite adventure on the internet, hands down.

[@JeremyRhydes]

Thank you, CT Mac! That's what we strive for!

[@TheWinger1008]

Everybody doing the TAT could use a good friend like Mike. He's a beast. Certainly the kind of friend I'd like to have riding with me.

[@tetomedinawallace5955]

When I am not adventure riding I watch adventure riding videos....these have got to be the most adventurous pair a dudes on two bikes. Look forward to following you guys all the way back home too!

[@BJJNINJA215]

How are you guys so chill? I would have been cursing and bitching the whole time!! Your friendship is legendary by the way!

[@marksommers6764]

I'm sure EVERYONE was ducking their heads as you were ducking under trees ! Thanks for sharing !

[@herbwag6456]

This segment was the toughest trip through paradise I've ever seen. How you borth forged ahead without losing your minds was amazing. Two cool heads and no mistake. Real men!

[@hardworkingamerican8847]

Just got my first motorcycle a 2019 DR650 and take a safety course this week . Then a license and off I go . Can't wait to explore places like that . Great memories in the great outdoors .

[@richardclegg5853]

You guys would've completed the Long Way Round with a milk crate filled with Hot Pockets and a can opener. You've re-defined what adventure biking is all about, truly inspiring...

[@billweeks5559]

Mike and Jeremy, you two men are the embodiment of adventure riding. This is my first ever comment on youtube. It goes to you guys. Your friendship and personalities always put a smile on my face. Hell, even your fans comments crack me up. You guys are great! Have lots more fun. Stay safe. Time for me to take my 07'klr for a rip.

[@JeremyRhydes]

Thank you, Bill! It's an honor to have your first comment on my video! I'm glad to hear that you enjoy the videos so much! Keep the adventure flowing, my friend! - Jeremy

[@jimwms1able]

Bad ass would be an understatement. Anyone can ride on dirt roads and most would have turned back after an hour of cutting trees. Very nice job sirs. You earned this one!!!

[@jeremyhankins6026]

You guys are kicking some major ass!! Keep it up! You're just helping the next guy coming along behind you, very gentlemanly!

[@jamjw1]

Great job boys, That's what adventure motorcycling is about.

[@mschroller]

That's the kind of fun you'll never forget! Badass video guys. Glad y'all made it through all of that mess. Can't wait to see what happens next. Y'all be safe out there.

[@AmericanMadeAdventures]

Wow. This had to be a pretty nerve wracking spot in the trip! Watching still and enjoying the adventure. Thumb up!

[@iceverything4667]

You guys are crazy, up there is a community of big foots. Lucky to make it out, good trails

[@aecarter1341]

Let the good times roll brothers!! Memories to last a lifetime.

[@jimbernard8964]

Classic Type II fun. Fantastic!

[@bennybaker5422]

Waiting to see the end of ride. 68yrs old an would LOVE TO RIDE TAT.

[@JohannesMartinsson]

Awesome, can only imagine the feeling when coming around every bend seeing more and more trees down.

[@LC_Legend]

Memories for life!

[@maddiedogg939]

thanks for clearing one of our old logging roads!! hope you guys had fun despite your volunteer labor!!..

[@rpmshifter]

I always enjoy seeing two good friends having an adventure enjoyed your video life boils down to memories and good friend looking forwards to my own adventure

[@CloudlessStudio]

Favorite motorcycle channel on KZbin!

[@ridefreeordie]

I dealt with that bolder for quite a while on my solo ride, but the trees.......man that was brutal. Well done.

[@ronwoudenberg2294]

You guys will never forget this part of your adventure. Your grandchildren will hear the stories of Lumber Jack Mike and the twisted machete. Looking forward to how many miles a KLR will run on fumes.

[@jwfraga]

This footage is priceless! Low on gas, but HAD batteries for GoPro-Bravo gents! Balls of steel and a Machete.

[@fasted5822]

Crazy adventure... and well done guys. Congrats!

[@joes.1168]

Trail blazing. Blaze more!

[@AllenSpeck]

Man I feel for you. It has got to be so frustrating to see tree after tree across the trail. Great video series.

[@SBMotoZ]

Keeping ripping it boys. You guys are Rock Stars Stay safe. 👍

[@scottquinnett2759]

Well done fellas. Very inspiring.

[@ThatGuyOverThere122]

glad you guys made it safe

[@pcmiller2710]

True GRIT!!!....GREAT ADVENTURE!

[@dofinfritts6506]

Holy crap! You Guys live right! You have my attention and my respect. Always in good spirits and totally entertaining.

[@4strokeTheWorld]

Woooooow RESPECT for that!!!!

[@Snaaky005]

That's a proper adventure!

[@johnsandlin7474]

Man...the tree spirits were smakin you down on that one! When I was 20 (28 yrs ago) I had a Seca 750 that I took trail riding as often as possible. On one trail I slid into a dry creek bed and had to drag the bike for half a mile, give or take, over the rocks down stream to get to the washout that I could ride out of. The banks on either side ranged from 6ft. to 15ft or so straight up. The bike looked like a war veteran when I got out but I still rode it for another year till an on road crash did it in. Almost lost my right foot on that one. Now I ride an Africa twin and dream of doing what you just did...maybe less trees though. Keep it up and ride safe...oh yeah...get a bow saw! They are the bikes blinker!

[@Tonnsfabrication]

You guys are welcome to stay in my campground on your way home. We have a nice trail system nearby in the Wayne National Forest and our area well known dual sport riding. Glad you guys got out Okay, I've spent many a day in similar situations and it sucks.

[@bobvila4381]

Dude... what an adventure!

[@jelicoe]

Best advertisement for that machete ever!

[@renniesmith8073]

Look into Aqua Mira drops works fast and is tasteless water purification. Another thing you should look into is the Sawyer squeeze filters light weight and cheap you can get them at Wal-Mart

[@noyopacific]

Excellent episode! It's not really an adventure until you have to overcome some unexpected adversity. I carry a folding saw. The saw teeth probably wouldn't have stayed sharp long enough to get through that many trees.

[@mikethompson2007]

We just rode this last month (sept 24th or so), None of the tree fall was there on the road leading up to the rock slide area but after the slide we had to go through those downed trees but there was a pretty good worn path over and under them.

[@tiagamet400]

Ug....Been there and done that! Well not 150 trees but a few and even a few makes for a tough time. You guys are killing it! Keep em coming!

[@rojodogg]

Awesome adventure worth every hardship you encounter.

[@michael7324]

Great job guys. Love the rush song at the end.

[@papag7370]

Kudos to you guys! Seriously epic memories being made!

[@bearcubfan00gmail41]

I was ducking my head every time you went under those trees. I’m sure if anyone was around me they would think I lost my mind lol. Best series on KZbin!

[@bgt595]

Epic UtBDR story was waking up in the mountains to a fresh thunderstorm that made the trails basically the stickiest clay/mud that clogged every exposed moving part similar to your guys issue in Eastern Oregon in the other video......expect the five bikes from Triumph, Buell, KTMs and a BMW were only able to make it 2.67 miles in four hours and then we had to get the Buell towed out after the mud dried due to his fried clutch, blown for seals, and destroyed final drive belt. That was a VERY long day and ended the trip due to the heavy mud in northern Utah. Still a great story.

[@elkoutdoor567]

YOU GUYS ARE CHAMPIONS FOR CUTTING LOGS WITH A MACHETE!!!!! MERICA!!!!!

[@emilyk-m9z]

You two are true bad asses. Staying positive and pushing thru, true adventure. Watching you guys wishing I could help somehow from California.

[@randlayman2668]

Hey, just want to say you two are great, I'm going to retire soon and hope to ride the western part of the TAT and BDRs of Western States as well, good luck ride safe, Rand

[@SurvivalRussia]

Awesome trip guys, but you gotta look into Silky Saws and especially the Bigboy 2000. Seriously. You could have cut all those logs in no time without wasting energy. After all you were in a potential serious situation :)

[@MrPepper312]

Memories for a life time.

[@mattja9]

I would recomend a silky saw. They cut through wood very well. Great adventure guys, way to go! I have spent the night in the woods a couple times getting myself stuck with my old landcruiser when i was younger.

[@dirkkrex5303]

Man, you guys have grit. Thanks for sharing the adventure. You may benefit by adding a good pruning saw to your kit. They are super useful in the woods even for logs around 10".

[@boseisgood]

Wow! You guys hammered that section!! Thanks for the Great video!!

[@peternetterfield7026]

Love watching these. Every day I check for a new one. I just finished the New Zealand series this week too. Good luck on the rest of the journey!

[@greenmountianboy8457]

You to come across the best adventures

[@norsefalconer]

What and EPIC mess, HOLY COW! At least you had the presence of mind to bring that machete!

[@5winder]

Well that was a nice little workout.

[@gypsymanjeff2184]

A real ride nice to see some reality for once..a ride for the books can't ever forget the dozen or so of my rides where not all was perfect ..so ride on. And don't ever give in or up

[@stevebrinkert8339]

What a adventure! Another great video!

[@KTMVT2]

Wow! It just never ends! Never seen anything like it! Congrats on getting through it!! Liked!

[@DRZcoffeegirlRide]

That big rock has been there forever. And depending on when you go through there normally the forest service has those trees cleared. Awesome Adventure though you won't forget it anytime soon :)

[@KlingonCaptain]

Chances of being in the first 200 comments on a video of a popular channel are pretty slim. I know you guys already it back home to edit the video, but it's still pretty suspenseful to watch. Thanks for the excitement!

[@IrlDave71]

Gentlemen, that was herculean, good stuff out of both of you. Jeremy, you guys should consider doing a live broadcast Q&A when the series ends.

[@projectponderer]

Check out the Sven folding saw. Lighter than your machete. Packs just as small. German blade. Cuts very well. Blade stays sharp a long time. Not like the Walmart ones that won't cut after 2 cuts. Would have saved you guys a lot of work. Thanks for taking us along on the adventure.

[@adammitchell115]

If you notice, the machete has a serrated edge, which would've made that job so much easier.

[@adz6539]

This is so epic! I got chills then the song really put the icing on the cake, Awesome video guys, lovin it!

[@akthrottle9078]

That’s was crazy best of luck for you guys

[@hankchinaski7777]

My story? Left Jackson, WY in 60 degree weather. Hit Provo, Ut at 98 degrees. 2 hours south hit hail that dented my tank. St George, Ut 105 all the way to Barstow. Drank gallons of water the whole way. Got home to So Cal bout 16 hours later. Didn’t piss till next morning. I’d take that again over your ordeal. Awesome video guys.

[@jamesnola8510]

Wow that was insane. Glad your out of that mess.

[@brianwinters4991]

It's time to combine fuel into one bike , hide the other one in the weeds and ride nuts to butts for gas ! Or you can sit there and eat Mikes boot and hope help comes along before the bears find you ! Liked the video and hope you find your way out . I'll sit here in my a/c and hope for a next video , good luck !

[@spacetruckin6555]

A/C in Minnesota? What for?

[@stoneblue1795]

It's gonna be facking 91F today and all weekend. 9 months of winter, but still many oppressive hot days this year.

[@brianwinters4991]

Rad Sad it's 90 degrees with 77% humidity today , we're built for the cold not the heat !

[@phoneone1371]

You dont have to shovel heat .LoL old Nevada saying

[@tormkg9879]

I was going to say tow one bike with the other and when it runs outta gas, switch.

[@gabrielferaud8360]

Wow, brothers, that's insane! "Three is two, two is one, one is nothing" so next time, two machetes at least, lol. Best regards! Salvador.

[@jpcoppock]

That was crazy guys!

[@michelevolz7769]

Holy crap! Good luck!

[@blakeberlin6295]

Impressive. I did that rockslide pass when I rode the TAT. I ran into downed trees also, but neither were anywhere near as bad as you guys had to tackle. Great job!

[@totaltech8246]

EPIC!!

[@lch747]

Love the music mashup at the end. 👍 killer adventure fellas.

[@michaelsupple6081]

"One for the books"....indeed!

[@phoneone1371]

Thank for sharing subbed a month ago just starting to watch vids raced 35 years desert on a 220 pound 2 stroke my hats off to you on the bikes your on hzve to be 700 lb Plus

[@michaelbdoherty]

Amazingly hard core guys 💪🤜👍👌🇺🇸

[@WRW9751]

Best of luck!

[@wildthinair]

I’ve ridden bikes in Africa, India and China. TAT is next. Thank you for the inspiration.

[@danmulkiewicz5515]

Nice work guys!

[@gmpugh7606]

You guys made one true Adventure thats for sure, you let nothing get in the way or stop you, the thing is you done it with a great attitude. Your personalities are one-of-a-kind and your friendship is strong thumbs up in my book. Now have you thought about trying to take gas from one bike and put it all in the other bike and and take everything off it possible to lighten the load and use less gas. One with all the gas makes the ride to get more and come back with for the other bike? Just a thought. Anyway one of the best Adventure trips on KZbin hands down great great ride, guys thumbs up...,stay safe..

[@Jman_Bnd.og73]

Wow! You two have earned your TAT stripes for sure. I am taking note of this debacle for my TAT trip next year. I will be bringing a tree cutting device with me for sure. Hope you guys made it to gas before you ran out.

[@bob.jacobsen360]

Backbreaking work with those trees..glad to see you made it. Cheers from sweden

[@truckmanonfire]

Good to see you two made it through that PIA. Great video series.👍

[@Chrissieboy148]

Amazing how positive you guys stay in that shitty situation, respect. Keep up the good work!

[@keithparady2594]

That’s wicked crazy

[@toddhacker8867]

Life straws work great too.

[@olysasquatch]

Good job you guys.

[@Mr1968torinogt]

that was some crazy stuff

[@wtom1420]

WOW!

[@torque63]

I bet you guys felt like freaking Lewis and Clark....watching the gas gauge drop to "you'll be walking soon" is a bad feeling.

[@Eleminop]

I can only imagine how you guys must have felt finally coming out and setting a paved road, bet you guys were beat!

[@joerobben83]

Love the trips
