My ride is my ride, so your ride is your ride. A cup of coffee and roll on separate ways. No matter the distance. I respect the ride. Mainly I know the experience. I have lived it many years.
In all seriousness I know these feelings all so well. I lived alone on the road with work and ADV travel for many many years. It can be tough as hell. My best stayed on the road alone for over 2 and a 1/2 years. She had contact with people along the way. Staying with them and visiting other travelers on the road. However there is a barrier there which you don't cross over. A distance.going down a very lonely road and existence. Many times the phone would ring. Some one i love very much in total desperation begging to live. It tough.
Great episode! I so agree with Mattias' second rule, I find it much easier to get i touch with others when I do solo travels, specially when meeting other solo travelers
It was very brave of Thomas to be so open. Ive traveled solo and with friends. When solo there are times when you can feel a little isolated and any problems you have to deal with them. Also when solo you find as your journey progresses you have a feeling of total freedom having to only consider yourself When riding with friends you can share the your experiences and you remember them together at later date and relive them
Watched it in full just now (sauna got in the way while you were live, never argue with sauna). Some great takeaways and always great to hear your faces! Thomas might even have inspired to do some cabin content while the bike sits in the garage in the winter, although I’m scared to do it for the same reasons he was. Skål!
"Happiness is only real when shared " , a quote from the great movie " into the wild" . I guess its true to a certain extent, however I find adventuring alone makes you more flexible and actually makes it more likely to meet and talk to people from all walks of life you meet along the way. I love travelling alone and be able to change my plans on a daily basis😅
In talking about coming home, I like to arrive in the dark. I don't have to see it. I wake up back in my old world and nothing has changed including what I have to do just like I never left.
The 3 days rule was real for me. Alone on a trip to NordKapp from France through Norway/Sweden and via TET, that third day struck me at Lillehammer the morning before starting the TER part here. I was angry, cried a lot, thought about past experiences of love, work etc. It was miserable. I was revisiting scenes of my life in this unplanned trip. As if my mind was out of the day to day boundaries. It was free in some sort. That third night was also terrible. But after that it was just few other moments during the day occasionally. The relief of the trip was NordKapp like a milestone. I felt it like a true relief. The nights were calming even if I didn’t know where I could sleep on the road. The return was smooth even if I had terrible weather some days in Sweden (2km in 2hours in a drenched and flooded forest with 80/20 tires 🤣). I remember a storm at the border with Finland one night. That night had Noe’s Arc vibes 😅 That trip was refreshing even if I past some hard days. Even a year after that trip it changed my vision of me and my surroundings. It is a milestone as my psychologist said. And I’m a psychologist too 🤣
Awesome contribution! You dig very deep into yourself on solotrips that include solitude in the wild. Definitely a rekommendation for everyone now and then, does not need to ADV riding. But to be outhere in situations with solitude. Some of these moments with give You a feeling of a holy moment, where you get very close to your inner and your life, parts of life that formed You to who you are... Happy Trails! /Mattias
Well done, guys. I really enjoyed this episode and appreciate the topic. I like solo trips much more, but then, of course, as it's been said, group riding with strangers vs. group riding with friends is a totally different experience. For me personally, solitude is not a problem, but sometimes, I get really anxious when I realize it's been a while since I've seen a car or a house. Being completely alone this is where the demons usually appear. But I learned how to work and deal with it. It was a long process, though. Riding a motorcycle is for me a perfect way of making me stronger both physically and mentally so I cherish all the good but also harder moments on the road.
Thanks for your experience and contribution to the subject. I do trail hiking g with backpack as well and there is definitely a difference to be alone in the vast forests while being on feet's. Takes long time to reach civilisation compared to camp alone while ADV riding. That makes some difference in how vulnerable I feel. But I really love to be in situations of solitude in our nature. You really get down to your own and deep in to yourself. Happy Trails! 👍 /Mattias
Sorry I missed the Live. I enjoyed the replay. Interesting comments on solo. For me, I had a few bear encounters when younger, which on reflection probably left me with some adult scars. I'm fine solo in the forest, but am pretty alert to what's around me, and handling food etc. Most interesting were the comments as to people moving in on your space. I think that is a delicate area. You put yourselves out there on UA-cam for the world to share in your experiences, with that, comes a level of people wanting to chat or maybe meet you in person. I 100% understand the don't invade my space thing...and no, no one should expect to be welcomed crashing your party either. Why not put some thought to a meet up event or some form of that? I'm a long time follower of all you guys and would love to meet up - but at the same time, I really would not want to overstep there either. As for topics, how about a North American adventure, or , set up a meet up / adventure for loyal long standing followers as a topic. I get different vibes, I may be wrong but Robert and Thomas seem inclined to try and monetize this ADV thing...where Mattias is I video when I feel like it, and whatever I feel like and that's as good as it gets. Monetization of what you are doing may be a scary topic vs just capturing memories and going with the flow...maybe that's a chat for beers and fire one day. Cheers guys. 😉
Thanks for your contribution, Shayne. There is a Q&A in the pipe, when it's your time to ask us stuff. We also have a planned interesting interview. Would love to ride in North America. What a dream ride. For sure we can't complain on people that want to meet up in person. I have met many, that gives a heads up when they pass. Friends fom the Youtubing. All of us appreciate this when time matches. All of us are on different events as well and meet alot of followers and other youtubers or branshpeople. That's really fun. Wish You happy holidays or God Jul as we say over here. /Mattias
@@nordicadvtv Thanks for commenting Mattias - that is one thing that you Scandic guys seem to make a point of doing and helps build the connection, and is much appreciated. You're a class group over there, and I hope to meet one day. Merry Christmas Mattias to you and your family!
TS, if I can send you some bourbon I will be glad to. I don't know your rules. I live fairly close to the Bourbon Trail, KY 150 when most all of it is made. Jim Beam has a great tour as do others. Also the Bernheim Forest is across the road. Really nice when you all come over.ua-cam.com/video/XBY0xfiiuoA/v-deo.htmlsi=OdSU5WtFui6LEjKI Jim Beam Tour ua-cam.com/video/AG0PsHHuub4/v-deo.htmlsi=HHy5ErPiaHULlNrO This used to be just down the road. They got old and quit, some floods and such as well. Knob Creek. More millionaires on the line than on Wall street ua-cam.com/video/vi0QEgdO9SQ/v-deo.htmlsi=LUvSf0KBbTGQ39NG
The Scandinavian bears will avoid You, but if, just stay calm. Be clear with your intentions. Do not sneak around in te woods. Make normal noise. If the bear moved towards you backvoff but clearly and calm. Never turn your back to it. If attacked it goes extremely fast, stay on ground and try to protect your head. Never ever heard anyone that has bear spray or anything like that up here. We do not hide our food either. But I habe thought of not keeping food or snacks where I sleep, keep it on your bike. Happy Trails/ Mattias

Thanks 🙏 for sharing you take and experience on this! 👍
Great get together to listen to on the Sunday evening… Love the open, honest discussion. 👌 Thanks.
Thanks for joining in! We were a great bunch of ADV'ers in the live chat. That was awesome to see, engaging!

I agree, it is a part of "healing" to talk about these feelings and agree that it is brave of Tjommi to share this. /Mattias

Sauna or bastu as we say in Scandinavia is as good as solitude for your soul and healthy.

Great to have You here 🙏
Well, since I live in Texas. You know where my vote lies. 👍
Looks like Rob is going! 😁👍✊️✊️
Noraly and others may be a little more prepared that you know. Leave it at that. They have seen a lot I know.
Definitely, she had to start being well ahead and delay her posts in the early days.

What is your @nordic tv set of mind if you meet bear and what you will do then if you meet bear? :)
The Scandinavian bears will avoid You, but if, just stay calm. Be clear with your intentions. Do not sneak around in te woods. Make normal noise.
