    Hello 👋from BC! This was such a great movie. Watched the whole thing, man. I legitimately laughed out loud at the opening scene - had to show it to my wife. THIS is the essence of bikepacking. Heinous weather, you're waiting it out under a tree, "Gonna make a pot of coffee when this stops." fackin' deadpan, dude. So good. I'm glad you did this, and this movie is a gift to this genre of content. Really like it.

    Excellent filming and editing, blew me away. Thanks for the memories! Yes on Teton Nat'l Park, I heard wolves camped on the Divide route in there above Pinedale, WY. Nice when you said, "...I've never seen such a beautiful cloudy morning". That means you had long time on the road eyes.:-) Cattle tank water, any stagnant source, I filter and use Potable Aqua tabs. The filters only get bacteria, while iodine or chlorine tabs kill viruses that cattle can transmit. (saw your note on water at the end). Beautiful video, thanks again!☮

    • @wax_tracks

    Hey Matt , noticed you used the quad lock iPhone rain cover too. I had to give up on it because it wouldn’t work with touch and my phone would go to sleep. Did you change your setting to keep phone from sleeping while using it?

      I always had my phone set to go to sleep really fast to save battery. The main problem I found was that once the rain poncho is wet the touch screen doesn't work well.

    Great film. Thx. One day I want to cycle the GDMBR and the Western Wildlands Route. I cycled coast-2-coast during W. Bush’s presidency, but I won’t do it during a Trump presidency. So I sure hope it gets better instead of worse…

    I’m in the middle of watching but I will forget if I don’t ask now. What kind of phone mount do you have? I am told quad lock will destroy your phone camera with all the bouncing. I figure, you have a goodie if you’re still singing this far in.

    Nice video but if you feel the need to include footage of smoking weed, well then you are probably smoking too much weed.

    • @wax_tracks

      Millions of people use cannabis recreationally and medicinally. Maybe one barrier for some people thinking about doing this trip could be that they are concerned they wouldn't have cannabis on the trip. Seeing this edit people could see that is available along a large portion of the trip.
      I also wanted to show evidence against the old ridiculous stereotypes of "you're lazy and unmotivated if you smoke weed." The stigma associated with cannabis needs to dissolve.

      @@wax_tracks Thanks for defending yourself on that person's comment. I've ridden half the route when I was 68, going to try again summer 2025. Was thinking I might try smoking a little even though I'm not an active pot user. At 71, with arthritis in hands, feet, and neck along with a list of broken stuff from life's adventures, maybe a little weed can help this time. I took your smoke-up and wine as light comedy. More like I need a break. As someone that has cycle toured across the U.S. three times, and once across EU, life out on the edge, and on the road is 90% mental work. Rain, snow, wind, cold, mud, mechanical problems, walking for miles, yeah, sometimes it is 99% mental work. Good job, most excellent production work.
