If you are RV'ing it, get yourself electric bike or if petrol, use the RV's tank for supply. I don't like the idea of hanging a bike on the outside, or leaving the RV unattended. You don't want to come back from a ride to find your HOUSE has been stolen ! .

Hello from Sweden, I really like your trip, to just drive and not plan too much is the way to go and since you got good gear, you eat and live like royalties, in the woods! Kudos also for your video productions, I like the format and the pace, thumbs up. I crossed the US on a bicycle ten years ago so I have an idea what you’re experiencing. In California you need to be careful if you go stealth camping, there are a lot of ”organic products” growers there… (and they are a bit nervous). I don’t fancy waking up looking into two barrels so I mostly camped at campsites in national parks, but also on people’s property (after asking for permission). When I see your videos, I’d like to come back and tour the US with a motorcycle. It gives you a better range and you can load more gear. Last year, I finally got my finger out and got my motorcycle license (at the age of 56), now it’s time to catch up lost time. Stay safe and keep enjoying life (after all, it’s pretty good)!

I live in Colorado and enjoy your videos. I have a Goldwing with a Bushtec trailer as well as an adventure bike for backcountry trips. Don't mean to sound critical, but may I suggest not building your fire before you have your water? Also, I can see smoke coming from your camp at the 12:00 mark as you're leaving to get water. There is already a big fire burning near Grand Junction right now. Everything is very dry.

I pull a kwikkamp trailer behind my bike. It opens in a few seconds to a queen size bed and a dressing room. I also have an add a room that's big enough I could park my bike in it too. It's possible I could be convinced to let it go for $3,500 if you happen to run across anyone who might like a great set up like that. I put all new vinyl on it a few years ago. Last year the sun here baked three sort of brown spots on top. I don't know yet if I'll be able to wash them off or not. I've pulled it to Sturgis twice and we stayed at the Buffalo Chip.

I now understand your ADV bike comment Richard (in our email exchange)! Also, well done on your first dispersed camp. I truly enjoy your videos: the style of them is not too heavy on showing scenery going past you on the bike (some is great though), and a lot of you guys talking and telling us what's happening and your thoughts. I also love that you give "pro tips" to others who might visit the same place. Already looking forward to the next video.

I have to say you guys know how to live after years of hard work, where the majority of the population work till they no longer have the energy to live life. The only thing I would not do on my long rides is to carry so much load like you guys. That trailer alone is just trouble, the weight and possible flats and worse, in case of an accident will become a slingshot. Last, camping near rivers is like camping near where bears passes.

Hi, I must say you are having some fun. The US terminology for some things are really funny. Boondocking for one. We just go Bush here in Australia, and a huge amount of campers here do that. You can free camp pretty much anywhere and everywhere. We also ride Motorbikes, I have a Kawasaki KLE500 and Bob rides Susuzki GS 1100g Trike and a Susuki GSX outfit, and a collection of other bikes. We have a camper we tow along with us. But we could never sell our home, we are on land and have horses, dog, cat, etc. However one thing you may like to look at its the MAPSME app a lot of travellers use it. Costs nothing, just download the map of the area you are in when you have wifi or internet. Look forward to watching more of your adventures. Jenny

Well that went by pretty fast. Most enjoyable. American to (REAL) English translation for civilised humans. Boondocking = Wild/Free camping. 'Keeters' = Mosquitoes. Wash Boards = Cattle grids (?) I noted you used a hoop frame tent. You don't know me from Adam but that is a variant of my Design/Invention. I had a standard ridge frame tent with an unusual little zip up window at its rear. One VERY windy day in 81 I was solo camping in The horshoe shaped Glen Etive, Scotland. I pitched my tent flap end downwind, which of course changed direction 180°. The little vent window was open to warn me of attacking sheep, and the tent immediately inflated like an airfield windsock. The impractical Toblerone (©®™) shape instantly turned into a FAR more practical tunnel shape, the wind slowed and restricted by the little mesh window, and the light went on 💡 ! My Pal had a fibreglass 3 part fishing rod, so manufacture became feasible. I took the design to Blacks of Greenock (Vango), and the rest is history. Very satisfying indeed. Finally, I allowed myself an hour every morning and night for camp dis and ass (Hee, Hee !) embly, which kept me well fit. If it rained, I would simply not move on till my kit was dry. When you are already in Heaven, what is the rush ? .

The shot of us sitting on the ledge.. When we made it to other side we saw that we were on the edge of that 1700ft Cliff. Kinda freaky it was. 🤯😁

So why didn't you ride your bike down to the water, fill the jug up, put it in your top case and ride back, or strap it on the Beemer? Seems like a lot less work than hauling it by foot.

Why too rocky and muddy for that. We did end up riding to the closest campground and filled up the next day when we went for a ride.

side. Navigation program or app are you using? If you don't have it, you should download and install Waze. It works great and you can set it up each time using your voice speaking to it.

Hey guys...new subscriber here. Been watching your videos and enjoying your adventures. I'm currently looking for my coach to pull my 2 bikes. I thought about doing what you're doing, but that set-up and break-down for me would be just to much of a pain. I was gonna get a pop-up camper, but now decided to get a pre-owned diesel B+ 8-9 years old. I have a 10 year old cat that I won't give away, and have no family to leave her with, so she's coming along. I'll be primarily boondocking, so I don't think I'll have many issues with the size of my rig compared to something bigger. The plan is to set up camp, then take out the bike and explore. Any thoughts or suggestions? Thx!

Very similar to what we are going to do this winter. A tent just won’t make for winter camping. We are considering a trailer and put 2 ADV bikes in the back of a truck. Just looking at different options. My concern with a B or C class was the chassis holding up off road.

@@TwoWheelsBigLife In my research over the last couple years, I have seen people boondocking in class B, C and in other types of motor homes. It seems as though the class be on a sprinter chassis seems to be pretty solid as many people are camping in vans and B+ RV's.

I'm still waiting for an email from you... Can you tell me details about your solar system with your solar panel? I'm trying to set up my solar and wind systems while the weather is still warm enough for me to be able to do it. I'm thinking about getting ten more solar panels to build that portion of my systems. BTW... Where are you now and which direction are you heading??? Any time frame ideas???

@@TwoWheelsBigLife I had issues when I went out to Crescent City from Iowa. I never realized how heights messed with me. It's like a dolly zoom woah and don't look down. There were some corkscrew turns on 66 in Oregon that had me going. I remember some sport bikes coming the other way around a turn and I was like, I'll impale them with fine german engineering before I go over that ledge.
