Two Dirtbikers LOST for over 30 HOURS in the PNW BACKCOUNTRY | Episode 3

[@madjack_757]

Idaho Viewers: Please keep trail names / coordinates out of the comments and if anyone wants information email me privately 🤙 Note: I would like to personally take a second and give even more credit to my friend, Carter. This was a rough situation and throughout the entire adventure, he stayed level headed and maintained a problem-solving mindset. I couldn't have asked for a better friend to brave the wilderness with. I hope to have him on the channel for many more adventures to come. Hope y'all liked the series.

@@madjack_757 I loved this video brother I really feel like it would make an wicked movie true story

[@yokeyank1]

Been searching for a long time for a buddy like that. I love long rides, adventure and unknowns. I've seen the worst in people out on the trail. Men turning into man babies that make whatever situation you are in worse than it should be. The best partners out there are able to stay composed, and laugh. As the reality is that 99.9999% of the time you will survive but might have a long walk ahead of you. I finally found a couple buddies that I can rely on to always keep the vibes up high through whatever comes our way out there on the trail. And I'm so very grateful, cause they are far and few between.

[@scotttaylor3872]

Carter gets the award of the Best Riding Buddy Ever! Glad you made it out.

[@madjack_757]

definitely! I'm so glad he and I made it out too.

[@franknunez7204]

great dirt time lesson as we say in survival. I used to run a survival school. Now I prepare for many long distance treks on my ktm 500 solo, I think about situations like you found yourselves in. The important part always is not to freak out, it never helps in decision making where one small distorted decision can mean the end of you, ya'll did alright. Priorities typically go like this, Shelter (since exposure to heat and cold kill the most people - but it's not always the priority, just mostly), Water (you'll get loopy within less than 10 hours without it - and it cannot be frozen so...), Fire (as you both learned - a great thing), and finally food since it's the least likely to cause you death without it. Shelter in your case would have been a couple emergency blanket sacks (super small), a packable puffer jacket as thick as you are willing to carry and long johns/thermal pant underwear. That's what your bikes/packs should have on them, minimally. Always water water and extra water, it's as important as fuel. Only 15% level of dehydration can reduce your body's ability to remain thermoregulated (heat or cold) by up to 1/2. Yes, that is a terrible number, keep water in the blood pipes at all times. Given the exposure statistic I quoted above, you can understand the priority of this. Sugar!!! Your body needs energy, when it runs out (when shivering stops), you're headed towards hypothermia, so, put fuel in the body frequently. Insulate yourselves off the ground, heat loss by conduction is really a lot worse than convection by air/wind (generally). Up there, young conifers stuffed under your body as a bed would have helped. Head and neck - wear your helmet while you sleep if you don't have a warm hat, and wrap any extra clothing around your neck or use your gaitor since 2/3rd or more heat loss is from head and neck - hold it in. Gotta run, thanks for posting.

[@alexyoung3387]

Frank, do you have more information on what kind of trips you plan, and where you’re at? I have a 2014 500exc and am interested in doing more stuff like this. Thanks!

[@dirttdude]

that happened to us but we were on our mountain bikes. i could really feel the part when you were talking about how tired you were... we made a fire after our batteries died and slept the best we could then waited two hours till dawn. We were able to pick and eat blueberries and huckleberries and we each had a power bar, that's it. we popped out 40 miles away from the car so once we got out we still had to ride 10 miles to pavement where we collapsed, we both fell asleep and woke up to dog and a 14 year old girl on a horse. she turned around, went home to get her dad and we were saved. 35 hour adventure

[@madjack_757]

Holy sh**!!!! You guys got so so lucky. The berries are something but they’re minimal food. So lucky that girl was able to find y’all 🙏🏼

[@dirttdude]

@@madjack_757 Looking back, i think your right about our luck, neither one of us really remember a lot about it with the exception of the exhaustion.

[@kenjgood]

Learned in the Military after spending time in desert to carry the following in a compressible stuff sack: Down Hood, down Vest, waterproof poncho, fire starter kit, and flexible branch saw. Temps could easily drop below freezing at night after a day of messing about in the heat. The hood, the vest and the poncho would be more than enough to keep my core where it needed to be. Continued the practice when I started riding off-road. Started including medical kit as well. It was worth the weight on more than one occasion. Thank you for sharing this adventure....Wow.

[@madjack_757]

This advice is a life saver! I hope other people read this. I’m glad you liked the video 🤟🏼

[@Veer1958]

I have watched A LOT of KZbin videos. As a trail rider, these 3 episodes are EPIC! I have done a few 2 overnight rides with my buddies but nothing like what you guys went through. I could go on and on about my admiration for you and Carter. Also your editing was excellent. So glad you guys persevered.

[@madjack_757]

Thanks so much!! I want to do a bit more moto camping treks on the channel and I am in the early stages of planning some. This experience was super raw and showed both the victories and major major failures that can happen out in the backcountry. I am glad I was able to capture it all because I think theres a lot to learn from it. I'm definitely packing differently for these expeditions in the future 🤟🏻

[@Meanderthal61]

Epic. Thanks for sharing. Great commentary and editing. Just a couple of things I have learned if you don't mind: 1) always follow water if lost. 2) starter/battery issue? Lay both bikes on sides or upright on logs(wheels off ground), rear tire to rear tire(interlock knobs), start good bike and put in gear, spin rear tire of down bike, pop in gear, let out clutch.

[@iRyan876]

Yeah, this is my kind of riding and content. No stupid music, no unnecessary talking, joking and swearing. Just riding and adventures 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@jaymay306]

With the utmost amount of humility and respect, Carter, my man of many talents, sharpen that chainsaw chain and carry some spare chains with you. Fastest way to seize your saw is by running a dull chain, leaving you stuck in a blow down patch with a burned out saw for the rest of the trip. At the very least, carry a file or two with you. That saw struggled through some very small branches, and by the small size of the chips being made, I'd say it was not from the saw being too small. The chain was toast. I heard you say you were worried about fuel while running it. The sharper the chain, the faster the cuts and less fuel burned. Carry a little MSR fuel bottle with some extra 45:1 or 50:1 and you can make quick work of even those larger stems without worrying as much about fuel. It was awesome to see cool heads and good attitudes prevail. Looking forward to more vids! Not harping at all, just giving another tool for a man's took kit who thought it wise to bring a saw.

[@perambulatingmike]

Wow!!!...I must really give you credit for documenting this amazing and challenging adventure...excellent videography which I'm impressed you were able to keep up with while in the midst of an evolving crisis.

I gotta get up early for work tomorrow but this kept me up watching haha. This has been one of the BEST dirt bike videos I have ever seen on you tube, I've been watching the whole story over the last couple evenings. Real adventure, real sh*t. I can't tell how many times I said in the first video I would have given up lol. You and your buddy are tough dudes, you got the best friend ever right there lol. I didn't hear any complaining that wasn't well deserved and you guys kept a really good attitude, pretty inspiring to be honest. I like what you said about how important it is to envision yourself finishing. That's a great motivator for all things in life. Glad you guys made it out alright.

[@madjack_757]

I'm so stoked you liked the mini series! Its all real, raw footage showing how it unfolded. Carter really pulled through on this one and I'm grateful for his high morale. Envisioning yourself making it out is so critical because it gives you just enough motivation to go one more mile, and then one more mile after than. I'm really happy we made it out too.

You my man deserve serious credit for carrying on filming whilest literally risking ur life. Some of those climbs in the dark were hectic. When u then ride in the snow it seemed like something out of the movie "Into the Wild"...very very eerie and I was nervous just sitting on my couch watching it. I think this vid will hit records cos I personally have never seen anything like it ever and you clearly did not go looking for trouble so nobody can try put u guys in a moral hotspot. The battery hack was amazing and Carters' bermudas just take his already legendry status to another level. Loved the vid. Thanks for sharing.

[@madjack_757]

Thanks so much! It was really hard to keep motivation up to keep filming at times.. Riding that ridgeline with all the snow was really daunting. It told me just how far we had gone and how little traffic the region had gotten. It really had me questioning if we were even on a real trail but nonetheless we didn't have the fuel to turn around. I hope this one goes viral because theres alot to be learned from it. We managed to make the best of the situation and I am really happy he and I made it out. I'm stoked you liked the series too!

[@PSBEadventures]

There was moments when Jimmy Lewis, Michael Knight, Jeff Stoess and team Hillbilly, finished the Tour Of Idaho T1 that I jumped up in front of the TV overcome with emotion fully understanding what it meant to them to finish that challenge. My buddy Jeff said it was all mental. He told me when his body was just slap give out, he pictured himself at the end on day 10 at the last challenge point lookout and it somehow kept him going! Out of over 1000 entries, only less than 100 have done it. 1900mi of single track like that, with just waypoints, no routes or tracks allowed with a points system not for the weak! And.....less than 10 days to get it done! It's been 25 years or longer since a good Hollywood movie has made me cheer at the screen. When you boys came out on that forest service road, I yelled at the screen! We got pretty nackered up on some single up above Challis trying to dodge a storm and I was feeling gut punched a ton. Took us about 14hrs to go just a few miles. Not as rough but as you know, that red lava mud is just nearly impossible when it stops your tires against the fenders. I tell you what man, and this is the honest truth. Your videography and the way you've put this series together, you really have something here dude. The boys in Hollywood better look out, this is the new entertainment of the future. No agenda or added hidden ideology, just pure adventure and story! Real life struggles straight up a hill, with as much of a load (maybe more) than you can muster up! These struggles have meaning and pay off! Shout out to your buddy and his positive attitude! The fact you even had the energy to film, and especially fly the drone was crazy and shows your dedication to the grind! Glad you boys persevered and made it out with the story to tell!! I truly thoroughly enjoyed this series man!!

[@madjack_757]

Oh man the TOI is no joke and ANYONE who has completed it has all my respect. I'm so stoked you liked the series so much!! Since you had that experience, then I know you know exactly where our heads were at during this ride. Its a gnarly thing to go through. Thank you so much for all the kind words for my videography. It is a lot of work, but it is something that I love doing. It is a privilege to be able to share these experiences with people. I want to bring people into the adventure. I gotta give my friend credit, his attitude was absolutely top notch. Especially his patience for when I wanted to film something. I really appreciate him for it. I can't wait to begin the next project 🤟🏻

[@PSBEadventures]

@@madjack_757 I feel the same way. There was a single short video of a disabled fellow, shaky and frail wheeling over to a bike his kid had gotten running, His shaky hand reached up and twisted on the throttle, revving it pretty high a couple times with a keen ear for imperfection. His expression showed satisfaction and joy of how it revved. Those folks that can't throw a leg over a bike anymore are who I'd really like to see our videos. That short video (you may have seen it, IG I think) really made me want to share our adventures. Can't wait for the next one man! Appreciate you boys!

Absolutely a blast watching all your videos and the last 3 video series of this ride. Hard work getting out on the trail while also filming content. Glad to see the series ended well and things worked out well on the trail. An adventure to always remember.

[@tom58c]

Amazing 3 episodes! The music choice at the sun size was spectacular. I have watched every minute of all three episodes and I feel like saying something to help keep in the back of your head for the future. Between stalling and shutting the engine down on purpose, you have to remember the time required for that small stator to charge that battery every time you crank the engine over. The amount of amperage the battery puts out to the starter vs what the stator puts back into the battery is very none proportional. Every engine start could take over 1 hour of constant run time of the engine before the battery is fully charged. Even longer with charging devices and a head light. With trails like this there is really no fix other than to take some time to remember to let the bike just run if you can when taking a break and hopefully that will get your battery through till your back home. Amazing show guys!

[@madjack_757]

I'm so stoked you liked the series!! Thats actually incredibly good advice and I hadn't ever thought of that. It makes perfect sense tho since it would take so much energy to turn over a motor with as much compression as the 501. I'll keep that in mind for the future!!

Great vids. Could happen to anyone. The only question I have is ......why did you not have the route and map pre downloaded on your phone with the GPS so you could see exactly where you were, and how far it was to the exit?

[@madjack_757]

So according to my research, this route was a point to point route with no diversions. Then I found out in real time that there was an unmarked fork in the trail. I then pulled out my gps to make sure we were on the right track and my gps put us on the long route out of the mountains instead of the easy one

The 1k like pog, insane videos! Love it

[@grantlingley1385]

You F’N Guys….I have never seen anyone do that with the batteries! That was so cool! Never say die attitude! Love it!

[@madjack_757]

Sometimes you just gotta make it work 🤟🏻

[@Westoakian]

Love the attitude too!

[@richardstephens9647]

Well done lads! Well done indeed! Your humor, wit and determination saw you through. A great learning experience eh? Thank you for taking us along with you. I have been riding since 1968 and oh hell to the no I don't want those coordinates! My bones would still be up there.🤘

[@madjack_757]

Hahahahahaha! Its a gnarly region that has claimed a few riders I believe. 1968?! Lucky you! You got to experience the golden age of motorcycles!!!! I'm really glad he and I made it out safe and that I had the footage to document it all!

[@klnrgj01]

Awesome video series. Congratulations on joining the overnight ride club! My son and had the opportunity to ride and unintentional overnight trip like you and Carter. Only difference is we weren't smart enough to stop and make a fire and kept going. When we returned to the trailhead with my wife waiting...she kissed me and told me she had to call the Sheriff call off the search and rescue. Hopefully, your friends and relatives didn't iniate an SAR. haha. Extremely cool trip all caught on camera. You and Carter are both awesome. I love it!

[@madjack_757]

Oh man I am so glad you guys got out safe!! Actually whats rlly funny is SAR knew we were out there and they said "eh this is good for them". I'm not even joking! It would have been too dangerous for them to come look for us and since neither of us had broken legs, we weren't a priority. I kept in touch with everyone on my garmin the whole time. Im stoked you liked the series!

[@marcb4788]

What an epic 3 episode video! So much respect for you guys, you kept it together like F’ing bosses 💪

[@madjack_757]

Thanks so much!! I'm stoked you liked the video 🤟🏻🤟🏻

[@TorqueDorque]

Good job documenting and genius idea by your good friend. Buy him a case of beer!

[@ColoradoDualSport]

You learned another level of riding with this one. Keep the skills up! Glad you guys are safe. I've had a few close calls, but never had to spend the night in the bush. I have been that cold camping though. That's a feeling you never forget.

[@madjack_757]

Its definitely a story that I will be telling for a long time. I'm stoked you liked the video and I am really glad he and I made it out safe! A lot of lessons learnt with this one. I think cold camping is definitely serious type 2 fun and needs a certain attitude to do it. I discovered that the hard way lol 🤟🏻

[@DualsportDMAN]

Crazy ride man!!! I can't believe you hadn't turned around sooner. I'm sure after this you'll be investing in some emergency gear, like a small tarp, or bivy in case you ever have to spend an impromptu night in the woods again. Happy you made it out without ever hitting that SOS button, and this is sure to be a story for the books for years to come.

[@madjack_757]

Yeah dude it was a gnarly one for sure! Its funny cuz I actually have all the things I would have needed- bivy, survival blanket, life straw, jumpstarter kit, etc. I literally had it, but it was ALL at home. Lesson learned. Yeah I'm stoked I didn't have to hit that SOS, cuz that would have been really defeating.

[@DualsportDMAN]

@@madjack_757 I've yet to hit the SOS, but I've also yet to spend a night in the woods without intention. But I carry all that stuff in my backpack. A small tarp and bag of guy lines in the saddlebags that rarely leave my bike. Also, I got a kickstarter and electric start so luckily I don't have to worry about a dead battery, though that has also yet to happen on this bike. Had batteries die while out on other bikes before though. Throw a space blanket in your first aid kit for next time. It's small, and you'll never notice it, but if that ever happens again, it's better than nothing. After watching this though, I'm refusing to ride without my puffy jacket on the bike ever again if I go more than 5 miles from the truck or town.

[@madjack_757]

Yeah its a strange feeling to be caught out after dark when you weren't purposefully out camping. You got a perfect setup dude!! I want to get my 501 setup for some lightweight expeditions to do some more overnighting off of single track trails in the future.That space blanket is a good idea too. Yeah at least if its june or earlier in the season definitely have that puffy.

[@rfiskillingussoftly6568]

Great job boys! 👏👏🤙

[@davidwood974]

Well done, much respect

[@shanegreen9019]

Wow. Since I wear contacts, I learned to bring eye glasses lol. Great video and you both got lucky with no rain in the forecast

[@madjack_757]

Eye glasses are definitely a smart call. I'm glad you liked the video! I think if it rained, we would have gotten a bit of snow and it would have been very likely that the two of us would have gotten hypothermia.

[@robertclark499]

Dude you and your buddy on the gasgas are beasts on single trac love the content be safe.

[@madjack_757]

Thanks man 🤟🏼🤟🏼

[@The_MotoRebel]

dam, what a challenge for you both and hats off to you both. cannot imagine the fatigue, not to mention the stress.. glad yall made it safely..

[@kiwionbike]

Awesome video mate. Great filming and commentary!

[@madjack_757]

Thanks 🤟🏻

[@gormanthomas8135]

Amazing video!!!

[@madjack_757]

🤟🏻🤟🏻

[@billbryce3488]

I would have been dead over 30 hours ago falling off one of them cliffs. great vid guys loved it.

[@madjack_757]

😂🤟🏼

[@Deadlyshu]

This is amazing! Thank you for sharing your experience!! So raddddddd

[@madjack_757]

🤟🏼🤟🏼

[@stevedavison1795]

Great video (again) editing and all that - glad to see you guys get to end of trail - little surprised the Gas Gas didn't run out fuel as 2 strokes can be quite thirsty

[@madjack_757]

Thanks so much! Yeah we had a couple spare liters of premix for the gas gas in carters backpack 🤟🏼

[@ozzielinkin]

GREAT JOB GUYS

[@smalltimeadventures_usa]

Thanks!

[@madjack_757]

Wow!! Thank you so much for the support! I really appreciate the donation 🤟🏻🤟🏻

[@zachfarkash6430]

Absolutely awesome there's nothing like a great riding buddy To get you through a situation like that.

[@madjack_757]

He really kept morale up so much. He deserves all the credit for it.

[@zachfarkash6430]

@madjack_757 you were just as much of a part and together you made a good team 🤘

[@Motosportz]

Fun watch. Thanks

[@dont3761]

Pretty cool story and amazing that you were able to get most on video. You never really know what to expect, until something like that happens, your story makes me rethink some of the stuff I will carry on some rides. I got stranded on a e start only bike one time by myself, now I ride bikes with kick starter back up....lol, thinking about going back to carbureted bike again.

[@madjack_757]

It definitely was a challenge to keep motivation up to keep filming at times but I am glad I did. I think theres so many lessons from this and every rider should take notes on what to pack in their gear bags. Gotta have backups to your backup. Sometimes old school is better..

[@BlaineridesDr350]

Reallly one of the best riding videos I’ve ever seen. It was really scaring there at some points but glad you both made it out. Would like to know more about this ride and what happened when you couldn’t film. Idk how you could do that but would be really interesting to know more about what was going through your head at the time

[@madjack_757]

Thanks so much! I am hoping to make a debrief video here soon to unpack some of that and some of the things that went wrong.

[@larryambrose5078]

Awesome Vids, all 3 Episodes! Thank goodness it did not rain that night... You guys may not have survived...

[@madjack_757]

Honestly if it rained, it would have snowed on us.. we got super lucky 🙏🏼

[@matter9]

Glad you made it out safe. Your buddy looks to be a standout friend. It could have been the editing but it seemed like he was helping more often than asking for help, filling up water for the both of you, etc. like you said glad to be on the trail with him in particular. I also want to suggest two things: 1, I am fully in favor of gushing and letting my buddies know how much I appreciate their help, but until you’re fully home and dry, it may be wise to temper the effusive thanks while still on the trail. Reason being your riding partner may be looking to you for that same moral support you look to them for, and saying things like “I was this close to giving up” or being that close to quitting may actually jeopardize what fragile morale remains. That is also not to say persevere in the face of better judgement. Better to be around to be called a fool than the alternative. 2, with fire starting, if personal hydration is an issue using a flat sheet of anything to fan flames can work much better than blowing on the embers. This is for multiple reasons: Effort, it’s much easier to flap a piece of cardboard or plastic than hyperventilate trying to get the embers to catch. Induced Dehydration, blowing many deep hard breaths will dry you out, you loose moisture with every breath, which can be a minor inconvenience or a major hazard. It’s the same reason why it’s better to use a whistle when calling out to nearby rescuers instead of yelling for help. In this case, if you irritate or damage your windpipe inhaling smokey air that could put you at risk if you need to call out to your riding partner. Surface area/volume efficiency, the flat sheet will likely move more air than you, again with less effort, and it’s easier to keep this up for extended periods of time without getting light headed. You can also stay at a more comfortable distance while fanning. Chemistry, depending on how efficient your lungs are at extracting O2 from the air you may be consuming the oxygen you want to feed into the fire, a piece of sheet does not consume any oxygen. Don’t want to sound preachy, just tips I’ve learned. Glad you made it out!

[@j.m.4045]

My Grandmothers advice always bring a coat or something warm in the spring, fall and winter. The weather can change quickly…. or the situation. Going out through the bush like that bring at least fire, knife, compass, and a warm hoodie or something… water filter. Glad you’re safe and sound with a cool story to share.

[@ChuckHolt]

Awesome video series, all I kept thinking was for the love of god please hear your bike down for the next adventure! Who knows maybe you ride a lot of highway on it. Glad you made it out!

[@kkrider4501]

So good to see you are prepared for anything good job. If you need it 9.

[@crjmoto]

Thanks for sharing this adv - I've been adding a few items to my Camelback since it posted lol

[@madjack_757]

Good! This is a really great set of lessons to be learnt. I’m stoked that it helped you buff out your pack 🤟🏼

[@TylerM-j1i]

What a dream of an adventure. Zero injuries, which was the important thing. I would be stoked if this happened to me as it really breaks down physical and mental barriers, along with just being purely adventurous. I've been on a similar situation on foot, but never on a bike.

[@madjack_757]

Its definitely a perspective altering experience for sure. Its a really rough thing to do though and I hope if it happens to you, you aren't alone!!

[@Crvmbs]

I love how last episode you said “I love having electric start at times like these” 😂

[@madjack_757]

After watching Carter kickstart his 300 so many times I was lovin it 😂🤟🏼

[@enduro-parts-aus]

Epic , you 2 will be telling this story for the rest of your lives 👍

[@madjack_757]

I think we will too hahahahaha!

[@norenecleary]

you guys are rugged, Great video.
