He lived his life to the fullest

[@hassanrezaee9476]

I am gonna miss Iohan hugely. Every time he uploaded a video, I was excited to come back home from work, have a few snacks and drink and just watch him explore the world and hear his warm voice. He was the main reason I got into bikepacking myself. Devastated to hear he is not with us anymore.

[@LeKretch]

He passed away?

[@hassanrezaee9476]

@@LeKretch yes :(

[@MannibalLector]

I remember watching these when they came out and just wanted to come back and relive the adventure. I'm so sad to learn he's no longer with us.

@@hassanrezaee9476 how did he die?

[@hassanrezaee9476]

@@jaynegallagher9379 as far as I know “Iohan was struggling with insomnia caused by sleep apnea for several years; this was combined with depression, and it finally became too much to bear (suicide).”

[@PThree-ru7gl]

Utterly tragic that this guy has gone. He has left us all a real gift with these films. I never met him, I don't know him but I will never forget him. His journey ended but he left us these brilliant films. Rest In Peace !

[@agmartin2127]

He would respond to my basic bikepacking questions from the most remote places... I've saved every one of them. Tough day when I went looking for a new video only to find he had passed away.. RIP Iohan... you are loved.

[@closetcleaner]

Found Iohan in Sep 2021 after he passed away. Plan to watch all his videos. I resonate with his story but don't film my little adventures.

[@tetsugoromatsubara3394]

I met Iohan in Alaska in 2014, followed his journey all these years, this year I did the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route. I finished it on November 15th 2022, and I came back and watched this video again… man… Iohan is still the best! Now I can recognize a lot of the places he went through in that cold and icy, snowy conditions. What a guy he was.

[@ZwahRR]

What a guy he was! Watching his video series for the second time, pure joy!

[@martinforrester8249]

Me too.

[@VitalityMassage]

Dude. What a fantastic video. Award winning flick. So fun and cool. The music! The time lapses! The animals! The folks along the way! The hospitality! The annotations! The whole fucking video is truly remarkable!

[@tytoalba6573]

thinking of you riding your bike, drunk, out in the middle of nowhere gave me a good laugh. That's an experience that almost no one has had. Keep that in your memory.

[@iangascoyne4274]

Extraordinary to think he made 40 films ,I’ve seen about 4 so far and probably this one is the best (?) . And it’s only a tiny fraction of the whole journey .. truly amazing

Wow, that brought so many memories back! I completed the ride exactly 3 years ago today. I built that sign that you see at 10:35!!! Glad to see that it is still standing and I hope it helps people to not miss that turn. Take care, see you on the road.

[@IohanGueorguiev]

yeah the sigh is lovely! I knocked part of it off when i leaned the bike so i had to rebuild it :)

[@deannilvalli6579]

Interesting to watch not only the story unfold, but how he gets better at film making- more creative shooting, editing, and better use of music than earlier films. Considering he shot it all himself while busy with much more pressing issues, this is pretty impressive.

Iohan, this was so awesome...my fave video thus far. I feel so badly that you lost your bear license plate. I am doing that route in 2017 to celebrate turning 60. I can't wait! It must have been awesome riding alone in the fall/winter. If anyone coud do it, it was you. I love all the wildlife and human encounters you documented, especially the horses! I think that one animal in the tree was a pine martin. We have them here in Oregon, too. I am glad to know so many people stopped to offer help. This was your most amusing video, too. I will watch again for sure. I am excited to see you are in Ranger training! Keep us posted on your journey. Jo

Another incredible film Iohan! I found your channel when I was looking for a film of the Big Bar ferry and Fraser River area. I lived up there in the back of beyond for over 15 years, and raised a family. Then I got hooked. Love the MEC thermometer, and I have one as well. You seem more comfortable in the cold than in the heat. Now we're waiting out a different storm hey?
