Yeah! I’m releasing shorts from the series to boost its reach. I’m glad you liked the full video!

Thanks man 🤟🏼🤟🏼

that would have been a 15-80 mile hike brotha

@@madjack_757 80? I haven't got to that part yet I guess. I ride a lot just don't find that kind of riding that enjoyable. Cool video though I am enjoying watching you two grind :)

@booger65man I’m stoked you like the series! Yeah by the time we got into town it was probably in the ballpark of an 80 mile ride 🤟🏼

@@booger65man eh I think it would’ve been harder actually. That’s a 15 mile trail if everything goes well. We accidentally turned the ride into more like 80. If you hiked it (which people do), then you better have plenty of gear. Much easier to carry gear on a motorcycle. Plus having the chainsaw is nice!

Thanks so much!!

Yeah dude it was a gnarly one for sure! Its funny cuz I actually have all the things I would have needed- bivy, survival blanket, life straw, jumpstarter kit, etc. I literally had it, but it was ALL at home. Lesson learned. Yeah I'm stoked I didn't have to hit that SOS, cuz that would have been really defeating.

@@madjack_757 I've yet to hit the SOS, but I've also yet to spend a night in the woods without intention. But I carry all that stuff in my backpack. A small tarp and bag of guy lines in the saddlebags that rarely leave my bike. Also, I got a kickstarter and electric start so luckily I don't have to worry about a dead battery, though that has also yet to happen on this bike. Had batteries die while out on other bikes before though. Throw a space blanket in your first aid kit for next time. It's small, and you'll never notice it, but if that ever happens again, it's better than nothing. After watching this though, I'm refusing to ride without my puffy jacket on the bike ever again if I go more than 5 miles from the truck or town.

Yeah its a strange feeling to be caught out after dark when you weren't purposefully out camping. You got a perfect setup dude!! I want to get my 501 setup for some lightweight expeditions to do some more overnighting off of single track trails in the future.That space blanket is a good idea too. Yeah at least if its june or earlier in the season definitely have that puffy.

I'm so glad you liked it!! I feel pretty lucky to be hangin with a dude who can keep a level head when stuff goes wrong!! It makes all the difference with adventure/riding partners!

😂🤟🏼

The whole ride was less than 100 miles.

The whole ride was less than 100 miles

Thank you so much 🤟🏼🤟🏼

Hahahahaha

Yeah, I hope this series has showed a lot of people how to best pack for these things. I really want some small light bags for my bike actually. I think you are smart with that pack. If I were able to take some of the weight out of my vest and put it in a bike pack, I would have been in a much better position.

@@madjack_757 The rear of my wr250 r is where i carry the load. I only carry water on my back.

Smart!

Such a cool area out there!

Hey, I had a gps map that ultimately led us out. I also had a garmin in reach that I used to communicate with the outside world like Spot. Extra water is not always possible. I should have brought a water filtration tool to drink from natural sources without worry of giardia. With my drone, though I am licensed, I am legally bound by the FAA to only fly no higher than 400 feet AGL. Regardless, we were so deep in the woods, it would have done us no good. I hope you watch the final episode, as it clears up a lot of peoples questions.

Hey, I gotta debunk a few of your claims. 1) I am running an oversized tank that can go well over 100 miles 2) We had a couple liters of premix fuel in carters bag for his bike and the saw. 3) Our motors weren't running for 30 hours straight. We had crashes, repairs, and sleep along the way. 4) This ride in its entirety was less than 100 miles. Just a slow slog the whole route. Our average speed would be less than 20 MPH on this ride. Heck, most the ride we were less than 10 mph!! I hope this settles your concerns

@@madjack_757 I get it. You had an epic, pre-planned, overnight mountain ride. For views, you framed it like you were lost and desperate for 30 hours. Not the case at all. You said you can't fly a drone over 400 feet due to FAA. If you were truly lost and desperate, FAA would be the last thing on your mind. A couple of liters of premix might buy you an extra hour. You are talking to a fellow rider here. Bottom line, you were capable of about 5 hours of motor-on, riding time. No more. How you stretch this to 30 hours is beyond me. I should ride with you sometime if we can ride for nearly a day and a half on one single tank + 2 liters of fuel. You need to patent this. My riding buddies and I are not as smart as you. We always run out after a few hours. Somehow you make ~ 4 gallons last a day and a half. Mileage does not mean much unless you are on a road. It is how hard the motor is working. I guess you rode for an hour, shut down for 5 hours. Rode and hour, shut down an hour, and so on...over the course of 30 hours. Seems odd, but it's your video and your claim, not mine. After 5+ hours, you are simply out of liquid energy my friend. No need to try to convince me. At least I see you have made it out to Moab, UT. Agree, it is like mars. You are a good rider if you took on Pritchett canyon and survived. Moab is where I ride and UTV. Best to never ride alone out there and especially on any trail rated above a 6. You can fall and get hurt. There are also mountain lions in the valleys- especially Long Valley. Hell's Revenge, Chicken Corners (amazing) and Shafer Trail are all epic and worth exploring. No bikes on Shafer though. Long Canyon is also really fun. When in doubt when riding in Moab, just walk the bike up the shelves- motor assisting you. The trails are infamous. They will let you in, but rarely let you out. Saw that rider with the broken arm. You could have broken bones too with all the spills you took. Hope your knee is ok. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r52FbLB53s-bdo0.htmlsi=cfJjMc_IQ27c_keC&t=1715 What trail was this? You said it was a 9 so I am guess it was Pritchett Canyon. I rode part of it- it's no joke. You can cross it off your list. It is a "badge of honor" trail. Next, try this one (not hard- just fun.) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ab98lMiIp6yxqnU.htmlsi=C468DnK7gsr55sg0 Cheers!

@@MOAB-UT don’t know what to tell you man. None of this was staged whatsoever. What you are saying is pretty offensive to me considering that I’m telling you the truth. On this channel, I’ve never been out to stage anything. Heck, everything I’ve shown has been done to show the realism of these experiences. I show all my flaws and mistakes. Above all, I am most certainly not a liar.

By the way we began at about 8am the first day, then made it back to town at about 3:30 the next day.

@@madjack_757 I am not accusing you or calling you anything. We all simply want to understand how, in your own words... "We *RODE* for *30 HOURS*" ...on *one tank* of gas. You are yet to explain that my friend. I simply and quite accurately pointed out how that is an impossibility. I don't care if you have a slightly larger tank and a liter or two of juice in your pocket. No way you are riding more than ~5-6 hours tops. Especially with all those hill climbs. What do I believe? You charged up the drone and video camera. You set out to ride a bit, camped over night- had some nice food, made a video (kept it under 400 feet) and rode back to town in time for a nice meal. All good times. I just don't like when folks exaggerate for the sake of views. 30 hours? I will call that out all day long. In fact, I shall now subscribe to your channel. Real talk- for everyone in here, please answer in simple terms. How do you ride for 30 hours on one tank? That is your title- we "Rode" an active verb. If you cannot answer that simple question, then tell us, how many hours of actual riding (engine on) would you guess you did? If it is more than 5-6, please file a patent on your fuel sipping method. I have been riding over 30 years and I could never get more than 5-6 hours on a tank + 2 liters. In the backcountry, going up hills, it's more likely to last 3-4 hours, if that. Certainly not 30. No idea why you would get offended by yourself. I am simply curious. I want to know. In fact, we all do. Instead of answering, you are getting flustered and offended. That says a lot. It is a simple question. 30 hours. I also asked if you sat (motor off) 5 hours for every one hour of riding. That is the only way the math works. Sleep maybe gives you 6 hours- motor off time. You still have 24 hours left. Just trying to understand your math. I have never, ever been able to ride for 30 hours on 1 tank- ever. I ride in the backcountry. We always have a fuel plan- you really have to or by lunchtime, you will be pushing it back and that is not fun. This is what riding for 30 hours on one tank looks like in reality. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q851Zsajy9GueGg.htmlsi=q_F7QTawCBwxtOh5&t=1 Namaste.

Good advice! My gps worked to do that the same way, which is what we ended up doing.

Hey! I'm glad you like it! I've never been to the Carpathians before!

hahahahaha

I hope you like the remastered version! I like it a lot more.

This advice is a life saver! I hope other people read this. I’m glad you liked the video 🤟🏼

We were fine on gas thankfully! We brought a little extra for the two stroke 🤟🏼

It is super flat and boring. There’s nothing cool there at all. I heard Iowa is a much cooler place lol. Idaho has a very thriving population of predators such as black/brown/(some)grizzly bears, wolves, cougars, coyotes, foxes, etc.. where we were was somewhat kinda near the grizzly bear range too which is sketchy lol.

Thanks! It was a real challenge to keep pushing through at some points a the PNW is no joke. We got some real wilderness out here 🤙🏼

Next time I come back I am running fresh tires at a lower PSI and am definitely trying it again!!!

😂😂😂 we were pretty beat up looking

Hahahaha man if it got any colder things woulda got more desperate that’s for sure 😂😂
