    It warms my heart to see that my people have been kind to you. We tend to get a bad rap at times, but deep down the people are kind and caring . Continue safe travels mi amigo! Om yo!

    Your videos are amazing. I’ve watched 100’s of bikepacking videos, and yours are some of the best I’ve seen. I’ve bikepacked parts of the GDMBR and the route you took in Oregon, the Oregon Outback, as well as I rode across the US in 2022.
    You are living my next bucket list ride, and I greatly appreciate your documentation of your trip. Your photography is both amazing and inspiring.
    Thank you! 🙏

      It was at a ranch and they told me it was safe! Must've been connected to a natural spring up there somewhere!

    Great video. Could see the fall coming as I watched the video. Glad you're ok though. The first fall in around 5000 miles of cycling is impressive. Stay safe.👍

    Go, Dan, go! And thank you so much for taking us with you! About the bees- no nest, just little blossoms in the tree. When I lived in Todos Santos down there, the mango trees hummed when they bloomed, so full of wonderful pollinating bees they were! Ryan Van Duzer did some Baja Divide videos. At first he railed against the sand, etc…, but later learned to surrender to Baja’s slow pace and just enjoy. Hey, if your guts are upset in a sort of food poisoning way, get a papaya, slice it in half, dig out a spoonful of its seems and swallow them whole with water. Local wisdom was they they killed whatever organism ailed you. Worked for me friends and me. Also, be sure to carry electrolytes (available at any pharmacy down there) because they help with abdominal cramping too. Don’t forget to enjoy the papaya after you swallow some seeds! Yum! Slice a banana into the space where the seeds were after you scoop out the tea of the seeds, and then sprinkle crushed macadamia nuts over it all (if you can find any). Divine I tell you!

    I surely do enjoy your videos, going through them episode by episode. Would like to do some bikepacking. Did ride across my state with a friend and 4 horses, 2 for pack and 2 to ride. Have always love the wild and the feeling of civilization after spending time in wild. Amazing. Enjoy, take care.

    Good morning from Lake Tahoe Dan! I hope you're doing well and enjoying your day. It was really nice chatting with you on the Tahoe Rim Trail a few months back after your night spent at "The Bench" overlooking the lake. My Border Collie pup Ollie and I were on our way up to the bench as you were on your way down. Grateful to have met you and thank you so much for sharing your amazing adventures with us all. Ollie, my wife and I are always excited to see where you are and what kind of fun you're having. Have a blessed day and thanks again Dan 🍻🌮🌮

    We have been enjoying every one of your episodes. Both learning about and seeing your journey has been inspirational. You obviously have a knack for capturing the videos but also know how to select the right scenes and arrange each episode. The Baja looks majestic however quite challenging to ride. When you had your fall you mentioned that it could have been quite serious particularly as you were on your own. I very briefly thought - no you're not on your own as I was right there! Well done. We are looking forward to you next episode and ride safe. Thanks for sharing your experience.

    I want to appreciate the longer video and increased use of POV on the trails, please do more of that. I'm a bike rider and that gives me a lot better feel for what the different trails are like. I also know video editing is a lot of work so thanks for doing that.

    If you hit the pedals hard, you might catch up with Greg and Victoria 😅
    I also watch all the ads on your videos. Not sure if your channel is monetized though. UA-cam got quite annoying lately with lots of unskippable ads. If it weren’t for outstanding film makers like yourself, I would abandon the place.

This is exactly how I feel when I visit Arizona and see all the southern vegetation creeping up from the hotter areas. Thanks for sharing your adventure, I hope you find a new back tire! That fall didn't look fun but it went well as far as crashes go
