    Hey dude, your videos have inspired me to hop on the bike and make my way to Argentina from San Diego after hiking 2650miles across the Pacific Crest Trail in the US, hopefully be able to buy you a beer somewhere along the way✌🏻

    Lots of epic views on this trip! Oof I’d like to visit myself. Thanks for sharing. You were brave to take a novice along, and he was brave to join! Perhaps he may have had a better trip with more preproduction beforehand, perhaps not. Sometimes you need to just jump into new experiences. Somi was still smiling at the end and he joined you for that final loop. That says something.

    The Eastern Sierras are what really made me fall in love with California. I hiked to Palisade Glacier once; it was one of my favorite moments in the backcountry. But this bike trip, holy shit, what an amazing adventure.

    Hi Dan, fantastic video. This is the second I've watched (the first was the overview of your gear). I'm in Switzerland. I've done a few bikepacking trips, no more than 10 days though, and I'm thinking about making a big one, taking a year off, but that's further down the line, before I'm planning something for next summer, probably in France. Thanks for sharing, both the images and your thoughts, it's inspiring and allows me to travel a bit from afar. Good luck and looking forward to the next episode. Ride on!

    Another stunner of a video, Dan! I really appreciate the effort you put into this and at the same time you seem to quite cheerfully take on monumental hill climbs and daily challenges equally well. Can't blame you for not being motivated every day either. These friendly, helpful Mexican people and their everpresent dogs must make it a little easier, no?

    Thanks for your brilliant videos. Really enjoy your positive outlook to both the good and bad you face on the trip. One piece of feedback- why are there captions now. They're quite distracting when they pop up and the audio seems clear enough that they're not necessary. I preferred the cleaner approach.
