'Not Feeling Welcome' Bikepacking the Moroccan Anti Atlas

[@tonydownunder5703]

You know Netflix spend millions and millions and millions of dollars on making movies and documentaries. And the both of you are doing it all on your own and that’s travelling and living on your bike 🚴🏻. But what is really special about what you’re doing is your creating quality that shit’s all over what Netflix is pumping out…… 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Guys the quality on this video is outstanding 👏👏👏👏👏 Thank you both so much for sharing.. ( And little lady when it is just to much and you feel like throwing it in just think back on what I’m saying in this comment ) And I’m speaking on behalf of millions of people 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪 A very big thank you 😊

[@WheelstoWander]

Wow thanks Tony, what a nice compliment!! And I will certainly remember that when I'm feeling unmotivated! 🙏😊

[@timothyvanpelt_cyclist]

We had an awesome and welcoming experience cycling in Morocco in the spring of 2017 and 2018. We cycled on the same roads as you did and mixed wild camping and paying for accommodation. We were cheerfully greeted and invited on a daily basis for tea, food, and staying in people's homes or on their land. We are very grateful for this experience and the Moroccan people we met. Then this horrifying thing happened later in 2018, which apparently and unfortunately also left its marks.

[@BaHaEzZz]

The culture in Imlil (where the incident happened) and Tafraout are very different, although they're both berbers. I am from Tafraout region, and before the last 80-100 years, the region was never under any centralized government. It was like a wild west of Morocco, people relied on an intricate set of unspoken rules, customs, and alliances to survive the semi-desertic unforgiving landscape. Foreigners to the region, even Moroccans, find it hard to adapt to these unspoken rules and often come off as rude and/or unpolite. Unlike Imlil, which has been shaped more recently by tourism and its proximity to larger towns, Tafraout and the anti-atlas region developed a culture of self-reliance and resilience evident by the "Igoudar" (plurial for "Agadir") fortified granary structures.

[@petersterling5334]

I've been to Morocco all Over for Filming myself 20 Years ago. I must say we experienced some Extremely Friendly and kind people in our travels throughout Morocco however they also warned us about the same things you mentioned here. Not all people are Nice. There are some Very dangerous places and situations so its nice to see the Kind People of Morocco seemed to be Very Concerned about your Safety!

[@odinjorna]

Loved the acoustic music in this video! Looking foward to the next video!

[@WheelstoWander]

😊 Nice, Thanks! Next one in the making...

[@univision1489]

"mkadam" means he is the leader of region , they work for the authorities. they always notify the police if they see something unusual. they are trying to protect you . but take my words morocco is very safe but Moroccans they dont have that mentality or understanding of someone doing an adventure sleeping in a tent. thats why you will hear too many say its not safe for you. dont let that play with your thoughts. I am moroccan and if you have any questions please dont hesitate

[@WheelstoWander]

Aha! That's so enlightening, we thought it was his name! Thanks so much for clarifying that... Yes we felt safe during our time in Morocco (accept for this evening), and it's very interesting to hear your perspective on how Moroccan people think about people adventuring like we do, we can totally imagine it's unusual!

[@rifitto]

We had one single (and utterly tragic) incident with these Scandinavian girls ,so everyone here including people and authorities are highly vigilant and cautious to avoid any other such incident ,you guys should be grateful that people care for your safety ,just follow the local rules and keep away from camping in forbidden spots , better safe than sorry although attacks on tourists are extremely low in Morocco ,despite receiving 13 millions of them a year ,it's 1000 time safer to sleep in the wild of Morocco than inside a university or shopping mall int the US

[@WheelstoWander]

Very tragic indeed. We were grateful that people were looking out for our safety and always are conscious about local rules and camping locations.

That man is an authority officer in all the villages, he is a local man who belongs to the authority. They deal with everyone, even Moroccans who travel and depend on camping. They only want your safety. That doesn't mean the place is unsafe, but just stupid procedures for me. It's enough to get a little further and camp. Welcome to Morocco.

Watching that epic downhill brought back memories of similar ones my wife and I experienced on our bicycle trips around the world. Strange how we have forgotten the tough grinds up, yet the freedom of those long downhill runs remain so clear! Thanks for sharing 👍

[@WheelstoWander]

Yet they can only be enjoyed when you worked up a sweat!! 😋

[@petergarner]

I guess all bike tours have their good days and their tough days, but the tough ones make you appreciate the good ones all the more deeply. I'm selfishly loving the slightly longer videos in this series; more for us to enjoy, but harder for you to make. :) This one seemed slightly different from your usual style... more candid, maybe; a little "sillier" (in a good way)? I really liked it! The 360-camera shots on that downhill were incredible. Looking forward to the next one. As always, be safe!

[@WheelstoWander]

They do, it's all about contrasts... There are high highs and sometimes low lows... And the 'lows' can definitely make you appreciate the good moments even more! I'm glad you liked the longer video's, let's see if we can keep up with it! 😬 Thanks for the insights, we're glad you liked the 360 shots, we're also very happy with the new angle! Ps. if you have some tips on where to improve we're also very open to hearing that 🙏

[@1Adventures2]

Another rich and rewarding series of spectacular images juxtaposed with the underlying currents of angst as expressed in your narrative. Interestingly I ran into some strange behaviors on my first trip was way back in 1969 when my sister and I her quasi boyfriend headed out for a three night trip from New Haven, Connecticut east up to Cape Cod, MA via Rhode Island and up to the mid-Cape and then up to Boston, MA. We had clear plastic sheets as a tent/tarp and one evening the supervisor at the state park upon learning we did not have a real tent informed us that we would need to be out of the park immediately after first light! Of course so much has changed except for my passion for exploring upon my two wheels. It is so rewarding to know this spirit of adventure lives on in so many other lives…. I look forward to more episodes of your journeys… remain vigilant and god speed …. David

[@tomsitzman3952]

Back in the ate 60's a lot of people and police thought people on bikes were crazy or mentally retarded.

[@WheelstoWander]

Thank you! Hm, that's strange! Would it have been different if you would have a real tent? I'm not sure about the rules & regulations in the US. I know there are a lot of free parking sites for campervans, but are you allowed to camp there nowadays? I'm glad to hear your still passionate about exploring the world by bike 😊 And yes, we definitely got 'the bug' too!

Once again, a visual and emotional masterpiece. I must admit (this Florida boy loves his trees) I can only take some much barren desert landscapes. And yet, the historian in me and the geologist in me would absolutely love to see that part of Morocco.

[@Neilhuny]

Kind of with you about deserts, though they can be fascinating. Too hot for me, though I have spent months in them looking at the trees, their uses socially, medicinally, forage blah blah blah (Sahel) ... But isn't Florida excruciatingly humid in summer? Like, everything is permanently damp? Are fungal infections rife?

[@WheelstoWander]

I can imagine, there's many fossil's and different types of stones and minerals to be found. We got used to the barren landscapes after a while, it very special on it's own and actually quite diverse if you look closely. Though when we got back to more green area's the smell of the trees and other plants was so distinctive. That's a moment we realized how much we missed it! 🌲

In the meantime I have watched many of your videos. What do I like the most? Well, thats the way you are filming, how your are building up a story. Then of course beautiful landscapes, insights into the culture of the country you are traveling to, interesting conversations with people. You are respectful of the environment, the people you meet and their culture. You're both doing that very well and convey so much optimism and joy. That would actually be contributions for television. Have you never been asked? Anyway- thank you for these extraordinary videos!

[@WheelstoWander]

We went with my wife to Morocco from Switzerland, with our van, for a month in 2019, three months after the attack on these two Danish tourists. The police were super nice but paranoid, we had to leave our bivouac spots twice to sleep in front of the police stations. Then we played hide and seek with them, camping where they couldn't find us. We love Morocco and the friendliness of its people.

Thank you for sharing your adventure, with all the work that filming entails. I love Morocco - I have been 3 times, always to wild corners of the country - in search of nature (birds in particular). One trip was different - a trek through the Jebel Sahro mountains over Xmas and NY. I’ve always been struck by the kindness and generosity of the people. And I love deserts and arid environments - they are exquisitely beautiful & peaceful, but always there is life if you look for it, and with respect. Reflecting on your experience, perhaps the filming is alienating for some cultures who want their corner of the planet to remain private.

Wonderful to hear you enjoy Morocco so much! We realise filing is not always appropriate and we do try and ask and/or feel out the situation and act respectfully and accordingly. Best wishes! E&M

[@alirezafazeli8222]

[@kamallagratte6770]

Your title is a bit harsh. Honestly, I feel much safer traveling to Morocco compared to any country in South America or Africa. Additionally, I anticipate encountering much more warmth and friendliness from the people there than in most European countries. Note that these authorities only cared about your own security. However, I want to emphasize that this is solely my own perception, and it's important to recognize that stereotypes can often lead to unfounded fears and doubts. In light of this, I am currently preparing for a bikepacking trip in Europe scheduled for September, and while considering various destinations, I have decided to exclude the Balkans due to concerns raised by some individuals about racism. Although I believe these concerns may not be universally true, it is essential to acknowledge how stereotypes can shape perceptions! Cheers !

[@TJ-hs1qm]

I don't say Morocco isn't safe to bike-travel but to say it is more safe compared to any other country in Africa isn't true. Just checkout Meghylost or Yassine's. Just avoid islamist terrorists and you'll be fine.

Back in '94 I sat, with two buddies, outside a cafe at the top of the climb out of Chefchaouen, heading toward the Rif and Ketama, and a big Moroccan guy at the next table leant back over his chair, turned to us and said in English "This is not tourist country".. That was a little disconcerting but we really wanted to see the Atlas Cedar forests of the Rif then ride on down to Fez so we continued. Apart from another slightly disconcerting experience just after we passed thru Ketama (big hashish town) we only experienced kindness and hospitality from Moroccans.. It's one of my 3 favourite countries visited, Japan and Mexico being the others..

[@WheelstoWander]

Hm, that isn't very inviting. I can imagine that it made you doubt a bit. But I'm glad you have continued... We also had several smaller moments where it was hard to read people's intentions but luckily all the welcoming smiles, thumbs ups and general energy of the people more then made up for it! Ps. Japan and Morocco are also two of our favorites, so I guess we should go to Mexico now 😉

[@richardsimpson3792]

I was in a group of about half a dozen motorcyclists with another two guys in a pick-up truck in that area years ago. We stopped for lunch and these dodgy blokes pulled up wanting to swap their manky old Renault car for one of the bikes. We laughed at them, but then they said they would fill the boot with hashish fo us so the car would be worth more.We were still laughing at them when a police truck pulled up and they buggered off. The police guys were very nice, but said it was best not to stop in that area... I found the advice of the police and army in Morocco was always good.

[@adammacer]

The reason they are doing the slit throat action is they're trying to tell you that two people in the past were beheaded by some locals.

It was beautiful to watch visiting Morroca country side . ❤

Lovely to hear that! Best wishes :)

The man told you he’s the chief of the area and camping there is forbidden for safety region. The chiefs report to the authority and have strict guideline to follow. This guideline doesn’t apply for tourists only but also applies for locals. If you watch Moroccan biker vloggers they told them the same, they only sleep next to villages

Hello you two, thanks for this nice video, greetings Bernhard

Thanks Bernhard!

OMG that rivals your vietnam tour in intense insanity. How you found water baffles me.

[@WheelstoWander]

It was intense but the people had our best interest at heart. In Vietnam we had a few other experiences... Best wishes, E&M

[@marksadventures3889]

In all your videos you use you tent to camp, have you ever thought of using a tarp or tarp and hammock configuration? Perhaps in places where there are forests. A few years back I got a mesh bug net I used as a tent under a tarp, I upended the bike so the wheels held the tarp up one end. Have you ever tried something like this?

[@WheelstoWander]

Yes we actually did in the past on some hiking trips in the UK and Scandinavia. I'm not a big fan of hammocking, though sleeping under a tarp is a fantastic experience! We might use it again in the future on more wilderness trips!

Fantastic guys! Keep going on. What music track you used? it sounds really nice, thanks.

Thanks! We used a lot of music from different websites, so it would be a long list to look up... 😬 Any specific one you like?
