Next video out on Thursday! And then on Saturday and then on Tuesday and then on Thursday... 3 videos a week for December! Happy holidays!

[@patrickechers]

SO NICE! Thanks, Eric!

[@GhislainLeduc]

When do you expect to be in New Zealand? At the pace you're going, going to take you 10 years hahaha :) Great job man your video are really cool!

[@GhislainLeduc]

Canada is so beauiful, those places are just crazy beautiful, it's a dream to see all of it... I am planning a year long trip.... I hope i'll be able to do the same...

[@reverendhoover]

Wahooo!

[@UrSofaKingLucky]

Glad you got your drone back! Miss your mountain biking videos, but whatever you do is worth watching! There are some things I've never seen in BC, and I have travelled extensively through the province. Keep up the good work, Have a great time doing it, and we will see you in the next one!

[@vaughnabbey3054]

Long time BCPov subscriber. Really enjoyed the direction you were going with the Africa and Morocco trips. I'm really excited and envious for this new channel. It's great to be here from the beginning for what is going to be an epic journey. Wish you the best in your travels!

[@Una_Moto]

The Tanzania experience and the video that resulted had such a huge impact on me. A big reason I started this channel.

[@abrighterday508]

I just love your persistence dude. There are better riders but your persistence gets you to places most riders don't go..Its awesome and inspiring

[@adamcmusic679]

Finally came across your bcPOV video way too late yesterday, and now I'm already caught up. I'm only 16 and riding a motorbike around the world has always been a dream of mine, and seeing one of my favorite MTB youtubers doing this makes the dream come a reality and gives me reassurance that I could do it in the future. Thank you for this inspiration and I can't wait to see where this journey takes you next!

[@Una_Moto]

Do what you can to do it!

[@andersun16]

I bought a drone to get shots of places I just can't get to on foot - and now I have to get to those places to get my drone. The plight of man is riddled with confounding backwarditude. Love it! Great video!

[@rickreese5794]

😂 What model drone do u recommend ? Thx😊

[@braydenbabinec-vs3yt]

As a dirtbike rider with half decent experience, I can only describe the feeling of watching this as that of watching a son learn to ride, watching him struggle with the first water crossing then crush the next was surreal, and I’ve never felt something like that before from watching a video

[@jcee2259]

Living large is going faster than the chasing bear. Cougar prefer to walk up behind their prey. The local tribesmen said to put fake eyes to the rear of head-wear. To stop it.

[@billienomates1606]

What a view from that lake, well worth the sweat and adrenaline brother the best part was the drone hunting, thanx 4 sharing. Excellent vid.👍❤

[@rl9810]

That gas station attendant looked like an undercover Jackson Goldstone.

[@AmerigoMagellan]

And the gas station has an awesome 1980s vibe to it!

[@RealMJSr]

OMG your dedication to recovering that drone was risky as hell but I have to admire it! The footage was definitely sick! God's country, what a beautiful place.

[@robertpoirier8171]

Thank you for bringing us on this wonderful journey

[@markdawson5215]

Nicely done! I feel like you've really established a story-telling rhythm with this one, and I really enjoyed coming along for the ride. The drone shots were a bonus. Great job recovering it. It was fun watching you think through your choices.

[@robertetang5033]

I have to say you really have balls. Such small experience and you still go for it. I will watch you to see how you go. Dont break anything!

[@repertuaras]

I just love your videos. You just went for it - no experience with bikes, just through the world - gooo. Magical. And oh god those vistas taken with a drone, splendid. It is amazing how tech elevates an everyday normal guy. Just a few decades ago this type of footage was achievable only with high end cameras through helicopters. Awesome.

[@benjaselman]

Hey Eirc, neither my wife nor I are into motorbikes, but we can't stop watching your adventures, never skipping a second. We're mountain bikers, so we enjoyed your BCPOVs videos, but now with Una Moto we realized it’s your storytelling and adventures that we truly enjoy. Keep it up and enjoy your journey!

[@Una_Moto]

Thanks Ben, glad you guys enjoy them!

[@carl_thunder]

I have to be honest. I absolutely love these videos. As always, I'm glad you are sharing your story with us. Lastly, your production is amazing. It hits me in the feels every time.

[@gregcctrn]

I have been through the Telkwa Pass in a 4X4 - Gorgeous area! The history of the pass is unique as well - it was surveyed for the railroad as a direct route to Prince Rupert - but it would have bypassed Smither's and Hazelton on the way to Prince Rupert - the route would have saved a good 40 miles, but cut off a lot of communities along the Skeena that had been served by Paddlewheelers back around 1910. The Pass is now a powerline road - and a great ride/drive - a few vanlifers have been through over the summer as well.

[@Una_Moto]

Slow roamers have been through! I think the road is actually more used for the pipeline going through (beyond recreational users). The road seems to ignore the power lines much of the time as it's often on the other side of the drainage. www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/industry/mineral-exploration-mining/british-columbia-geological-survey/geology/coalfields/telkwa

[@ruizjulian1]

As an avid mountain biker I enjoyed your MTB videos a lot, but this new channel has sparked an interest I never knew I had. Absolutely loving every minute of it! Hope to do the same some day!

[@bigsid3011]

I loved you BCPOV race videos from a few years back. But this adventure is EPIC. Love the scenery, love the commentary and the aerial stuff is outstanding.

[@ashleytombs]

Wow Eric is impressing me every day with his bike skills specially in the water To most novice bikes that would be very unnerving considering his lack of experience he rode through it like a boss As this was the 13th episode something was bound to happen to that drone 😂😂

[@SERB98]

If that's a DJI Mini 3, don't give up on it even if it falls in the water. I drowned mine (Mini 3 Pro) in a river in Mexico, it was completely submerged for over 15 minutes. Took it out, emptied it put it in the sun for 20 minutes (took out the battery and sd card of course) then put it in a plastic bag with a desiccant bag and left it alone for 72 hours. When I took it out, every function worked perfectly. Of course I immediately flew it full speed into an adobe wall but that wasn't the mini's fault. (It also survived that)

[@The_Dvinny13]

Eric I am loving the videos!! I am a long time Itchy Boots viewer, like that you are using the maps. Thank-you for keeping your videos honest, humble & “real”; I am so excited to following along on this journey with you!

[@thestone3849]

Excellant !!! "Finding the Drone" was very interesting and it paid you well to find the drone in working condition after a severe crash.

[@PDivision1]

I was happy to see you kept some momentum when riding through these puddles. Great episode with the hike to save the drone.

[@doonesburyband]

Ride it more like a mtb bike down hill. It's pretty similar. Back brakes for direction front brakes to wipe off speed. Balance and control. You've got this. :)

[@123dwd]

good work, i've done some field days up the Copper near the pass and off trail hiking is tough going. really enjoying your adventure, thanks for posting up!

[@ajandlucy]

Awesome footage of an amazing looking place, really enjoying the journey!

[@dfxdarrell6734]

I know we aren't following you live but you're killing me here! Keep your momentum and RPM up! 😅

[@CCitis]

hahaha I am yelling it.... KEEP THE REVS UP. Then I remember this is months ago.

[@rockinrodlittle]

If you’re not living on the edge; you’re taking up too much space. Well done, young man!

[@Oezvatan]

I am Turkish from Germany. Thanks for the great shots. Wish you all the best on your tour of the world. Hope to see you soon with your motorcycle in my country in Turkey.

[@davecrashes4905]

What a privilege to see something so beautiful, and so few get to experience in person.

[@lizdg3892]

Once again amazing adventure Eric. 🎊 So glad you got your drone back. Amazing footage.

[@tygastfield613]

It’s really quite amazing (and sort of funny) that you can ride down some super gnarly trails on your mountain bike, but a sort of steep gravel road on a motor bike causes you to go super slow. It just shows how truly different the two disciplines are.

[@axxamit]

It’s not that different. You just need to overcome the fear of riding a big, heavy machine in your head. And you need to remember the weight and the fact that you cannot operate it [mainly brake] like a lightweight bike. Been there myself. With loads of mountain bike experience, I switched to +200kg motorcycle and got scared as hell. I rode very cautiously until one day, something clicked. Gotta admit proper tyres are a game changer, too. In my opinion, he needs some offroad motorcycle training, otherwise he won’t make it, and may hurt himself.

[@JimCockerham]

Incredible location, so glad you were able to recover your drone.

[@jonlong1973]

Keep going man! Having myself traveled Central America and Mexico 3 times soloed on a KLR 650 and rented an old F650 BMW in Chile and doing the Carretera Austral it's great to see you persevere. Now old and retired in Montana and no longer ride but I am enjoying your travels. Also your perspective is spot on as far as the size of your bike, keeping the bike smaller is a hell of a lot more fun than those giant touring cycles. Stay safe, jl

[@meljulie8243]

Epic footage Eric. I look forward to seeing the next. Happy, Safe travels always.🌿

[@malsarahsatchell9890]

Awesome production, loving the Journey. Sometimes ya just have to lick the stamp and sent it 😎

[@ajs5260]

Thank You Eric.... You're a spirit of adventure is amazing.

[@wanderingwithwade]

Now those are some amazing views that very few people have really seen and keep loving your sound design with the music. You know where to place the appropriate music to build up tension and release. Awesome stuff!

[@pierrrejette9023]

Great music choice

[@MrAnderson7209]

Wow you have a seriously high level videography and story telling skill set # my bet is Hollywood maybe calling! Keep up the great work Eric!

[@Wild_Legends]

Gooood job with finding that drone... Do not get out of luck! Watching you...

[@nyoko555]

That was awesome...🤜🏾🤛🏾 Safe travels Eric... See you thurdays...🎉🎉🎉

[@alainmaurice5383]

This is a fantastic adventure. You are very good at motorcycling and a good journalist. Thank you, I will follow your adventure.

[@mottad_cz]

Wow, this is a real adventure. I respect you and can't wait for the next part.

[@AmerigoMagellan]

These trails are just like in Florida during the wet season. 🙂👍 You did a pretty good job in crossing them. The strick is to get some speed/momentum and don't stop!

[@lazer2997]

Epic Brother! Keep going man! Use that clutch more, never stall!! Lol. You are doing so well with the adventure spirit, so awesome to watch, cannot wait for more. Note: I had a DRZ 400 once, was just like your bike (gearing wise), quite tall and innapropriate for off-roading.... if you are ok with a lower top speed / higher RPM @ top speed, consider a smaller final drive gear. It makes a massive difference to off-road power tractability. Easy swap for huge difference in feeling of the bike on slow stuff.

[@nickh2373]

He'll of a way to learn how to ride off road 😂. You doing great though, keep it up and see you in the UK!

[@AnyoneSeenMikeHunt]

Amazing you got the drone back. 😀

[@MotoVenturer]

Just discovered your channel. Totally amazing day! As a fellow travel blogger, I really appreciate your perspective as a "regular guy" motorcyclist of modest yet sufficient skills, coupled with big heart and determination, adventuring places that keep your adrenaline pumping. Just subscribed and excited for more!

[@dieuexiste]

My favorite episode of this new series so far. I can tell you're still a bit nervous on the bike but keep pushing nevertheless. Respect. And those drone shots were stunning. One day I shall visit northern BC. Safe travels ✌️

[@dragfly7104]

beautiful place to camp and you are lucky to find your drone again😀👍👍👍👏👏👏

[@horadi543]

It's awesome to see how you are progressing with the trip from day to day. I really liked the MTB videos (that's why we started to ride with my wife too), but life needs to going on, and cool to see you found another hobby. Cheers from Austria!

[@sherry2519]

Thank you! Thank you so much for taking us on that beautiful trail!

[@MrLifestream1]

Wow, breath taking scenery! Good on ya

[@10asians]

This series is riveting! What an adventure, great job Eric! ❤

[@filipsmit5497]

European rider here - loved the drone recovery scene and what it brought to the viewers! Best of luck!

[@55yaya5]

" Now this is an adventure ride". That got me laughing. Good on ya. Enjoying this, and really like your music choices. Onward!

[@1870movie]

Excellent work Eric!

[@bradwinfield3594]

Wow, the drone recovery. Don’t get hurt out there.

[@fivetool]

There are some people who were just not meant to own a drone. :) But seriously, those drone shots are breath taking. I was rooting for you as you goosed it through those puddles. Stay safe.

[@alexaleah11]

What an adventure retrieving the drone..

[@reverendhoover]

Crashing the drone may have been bad for you but it made for excellent footage, and I loved the music that went with that sequence.

[@PSBEadventures]

What a place man! As a 30 year dual sport rider and bike tech, I feel like your bike would strongly benefit from a bit lower gearing for this kind of riding. A couple or 3 teeth on the back would probably be perfect and help the slow speed stuff a ton. You can drop one in the front without messing with the chain, but going up two or three on the back is the best way. It won't hurt highway driving a ton as the little 300 doesn't mine the extra rpm. Your clutch will last a ton longer and the low speed technical stuff will be way easier with more rpm. I could be wrong but it sounds like its lugging a ton in the rough stuff. Been loving the series man!! Safe travels!

[@dexterbeef1132]

Spot on with gearing. 2t more on the rear, and then carry 2 front sprockets to alter gearing for road v trail.

[@scottbre]

The maker of that drone needs to be sponsoring your videos. What a little beast.

[@tomvankoppen6032]

I really enjoy your adventures, and your becoming my hero. Keep up the good work and stay safe

[@FNQ_BEES]

Love the journey. Haven’t finished the whole vid yet, so might need to retract my statement. But my initial thoughts are: you need to develop confidence with carrying more speed into obstacles. A lower gear, more revs, ride the clutch to maintain drive between torque and power. And stand up! Lots more standing up!! It will all come in time as you gain experience and confidence, and you’ve already improved. No doubt these video’s were from the past but focusing on the above will expedite your learning and increase your enjoyment 10 fold 👍

[@Scorch2534]

I was just typing out how I was impressed with how you did on this route... and then you crashed the drone into a tree on the other side of the lake :D. I am so into these episodes, keep em coming!

[@Antillen44]

I was thinking, how can an newbie-channel make such good contend with very good production in quality editing, camera and sound... Now I know, you are not a newbie! You have, had, a successful YT channel before!!

[@marbulle]

Les choses sérieuses commencent génial continuez comme cela 👍vivement la suite, grand ✌️de la Haute Savoie en France et où vous serez le bienvenu si vous passez dans la région !!!

[@gillesmagnier1073]

Un deuxième français 🤣je suis de haute Normandie ❤

[@ashoksalvi3799]

Really it's going to be an exciting journey with you Eric. Some of the time was lost in the drone episode but we enjoyed the unscheduled hoke in the woods!

[@M0T0bri]

Great job on the rocky decent! It is so cool to see you get better and better! GOD bless and thanks for the incredible episode.

[@ogasi1798]

Canada is sooooooo sweet - maaan that drone find was lucky 🙂

[@LukeAshton05]

Bro, that is cool AF DJI built tough.

[@warrenwong8918]

thanks for sharing the adventure and amazing footage with us. all the best, be safe!

[@WheelieWild]

Totally loving this series!

[@drumla009]

Since your videos on BcPov I love your selection on soundtracks, congrats on the new series!

[@kennethvernonprivate]

Amazing drone footage!!! All the best from Calgary!

[@MrFelixGun]

Enjoy your videos, Eric. I'm looking forward to the next one.

[@garyheap3780]

Really loving your videos, thanks for sharing.

[@rasradders9708]

Great ! Can genuinely see your offroad progression, and enjoying the amazing drone footage. Was wondering when the first drone crash would happen ! The Telkwa pass was a terrific choice.

[@hillslayer2020]

Epic awesome adventure. Really enjoying this and looking forward to your next release.

[@PeterCPRail8748]

Nothing ventured nothing gained in life. An awsome day and treck dispite the drone crash. Nice recovery and amazing footage.

[@hazimreitz]

Another awesome episode, Don't stop and keep on chugging my friend 🤙🤙🤙🤙

[@gorkembasakable]

Greetings from Turkey, my friend. It's not that you don't cross the waters. Trying to save the drone was excellent:) I've subscribed and I'll be eagerly awaiting the other episodes

[@dkone1746]

Thanks for putting all the effort in to get your drown back lol. That was epic footage!

[@ChuckCarson-t9t]

Very glad you found the drone unbelievable video. I enjoy your ride so much God bless

[@LivingFreeMedia]

Thanks for another great episode!

[@matthewdittrich2976]

This is such a fun video. Possible alternate title of: "They said not do do this trail alone, I went alone, I faced the unknown, I found my zone, I crashed a drone, I made a temporary home." Dude, you just a little bit crazy. You inspire me to get a smaller motorcycle. ;)

[@mmilne17]

Happy ending to a great video. Ive crashed and lost the same drone in water and I was only feet away from it the it went down. Great video and cant wait for the next!

[@Greystone1111]

So exciting, following you on this endeavor:-)

[@flyovercounty1427]

Great video. Thank you p.s. it is allowed to walk across water crossings to check for that one boulder that is front wheel magnet and also carry your fragile gear while checking.

[@snox7320]

Just found your channel and it's great mate . New subscriber here in the UK . Safe travels 🙏

[@personalministries537]

I'm loving these videos.

[@Rudibeata]

Good luck my friend. I wish You a save ride. Best regards from the north of Germany👍👍

[@161332]

I really like your "drive" trough this episode!! The vue at the campsite was absolutely stunning😮 lucky you finding the drone.... search and you will find 🤟😅

[@AFugax]

Brother sold me that same drone for a good price…cause he wanted the one with all the fancy sensors - the next step up!! Now I get it!

[@johntorbus9943]

Brother, I admire your tenacity at finding your drone! Cheers

[@akawazzupwitdat1543]

Really enjoying your epic adventure 🍻🇨🇦

Makes me think of Muhammad Ali's "roll with the punches"

[@kennethreichstein1443]

Enjoying watching you learn as you go and awesome scenery

[@audramitchell9894]

The famous point is a gorgeous scenic view
