Addressing messages to a dead person who can't read them in hopes alive people will read them and think you're a good person, that's being a hypocryte. Like you for example, you wish me death, but I bet you'll write beautifully about death's person just so others read it and think good of you, but you're not a good person

    As I grow older each year (73) and the body parts become less functional I watch each one of your videos and they inspire me to continue to push though the adversity of age and get out and bikepack on of course a much smaller scale. As I ride in Nevada, Death Valley and Utah on the routes you have taken I often think to myself, Iohan has been here and now so am I, wow! Your videos are like a drug.

      I was wondering if you ever thought of a dirt suit like this one for example:
      www.dirtlej.com/dirtsuit-core-edition
      Shipping would be no problem I guess.
      I would really like to hear your thoughts about these suits because I can't remember you mentioning anything alike in your videos.

    Gracias por esos paisajes e imágenes sublimes. Por compartir tu afecto con los animales. Por darnos la oportunidad de sentir la naturaleza virgen a través de ti. Por hacernos creer en la humanidad. ¿Sabes lo que he pensado cuando he visto a esos caballos corriendo en libertad? Que tú eres uno de ellos, salvaje, libre, con una fuerza física y mental indestructible. Gracias.

    Iohan, we really enjoyed your film. You have a film makers sensibility and skill. We cycle tour too and know what it feels like to be in the moment on long and intense days, your film's emphasise the aesthetic experience and still beauty of Nature. How you do this is down to you and how you want to convey your experience through your film. This is not cycle touring it is more than that you are artistically presenting the World and our place in it with humility,warmth,endurance and resilience.
    Your films are a soulful vision of your inner being...
    These films deserve a cinema presentation.

    @Iohan Gueorguiev Your adventures over my home country Argentina made me travel in time. When I was 19yo I took "La Trochita" train from El Maiten to Esquel and today I am 45yo man. Patagonia has a special place in my heart: Starting 2017 till 2019 I went back 3 times for 3-6 months, hitchhiking, camping, living in the middle of nowhere and being content with what I could carry on my back. I hope that your overall experience in Argentina was positive and fruitful. Hugs and peace. Alex. PS: I recognized the crossing of the lake into the other side to enter the camp site (Camping Ecufue): Parque Nacional Lanin using an old rusty bell to call the local man and boat the crossing.

    Dear Iohan (wherever you are now in spirit) your biking in Patagonia digs deep into my adventurer heart. I think I have seen Episode 34 over 5 times and each time is as IF I was watching with baby eyes (for the very first time). My heart gets filled with emotions/feelings that range from admiration, compassion, love, tenacity and a bit of envy because not in a thousand years I would have been able to do what you did (Iohan, you are superhuman). I wonder WHY you did not recorded (or showed in this video) the entrance to magnificent Parque Nacional Lanin with its beautiful wooden arch and panoramic views of Volcan Lanin. I camped at the same spot were the mapuche indian let you use the shack to get dry and I was all by myself in the off season. Fantastic views of the mountains and lakes. Be in peace amigo y que tus viajes celestiales te transporten por mundos maravillosos. Un abrazo grande desde NYC. (Naci en Tucuman y amo nuestra increible Patagonia, viva Argentina carajo!!)

    Hi Iohann As always your videos are amazing and the songs are selected within the style I like (indie, pop-rock, instrumental). I am 70 years old, and I practice cycling in Brazil. I've done Paso Vergara, south Argentina to Chile in 2015. You are an inspiration to my new existence or reincarnation to practice something similar. Big hug.
