Hi sir, I’ve explored the entire biking TH-cam community looking for a bikepacker who films in a POV/first-person style, and your content truly stands out. It’s so unique-please keep creating more amazing videos!

Just trying to help info. Kremmling there is red mountain RV park, tent camping along side, yes there is traffic park but nice clean showers, laundry and the owner family kids very nice.

Your videos are some of the best I've watched, great job! I was waiting for this near kremmling, next one out of you'll be passing my place, others planning ride take note, 24 miles out of kremmling around Williams fork reservoir mm 14.5 cr #3 Utepass, 9 miles before top on left is bike decor tree, cooler under, single gate stop on in, relax, camp, all riders welcome. Next video I'll watch and see if you have footage near then ping it time stamp comment.

Hello and thank you very much for your installation tutorial for the Old Mountain Rack Divide. I had been looking for a good front rack for my bike for a long time. You have really cleared up a lot of doubts for me. You made my video a long time ago but I appreciate your help and time in preparing the video. Kind regards @extremlimitsoutdoor

I’m absolutely adoring this series. You’re showing parts of the route that others aren’t, and talking about helpful details that others skip. It’s a breath of fresh air and makes me look forward to riding this year’s Tour Divide even more.

Watching your videos makes me so enthusiastic for my trip this year . So enjoyable to watch

Thanks for taking us along. BTW, what are u doing with your food at night when out in the bush camping.

Yep, that ride out of Radium to Kremmling is a long slog up. Great video series for touring speed riders. Thanks!

So what did the bike manufacturer say?

Thanks for doing this video! --I've always done all my hikes using just an iPhone. So when I'd get to camp, I would just edit the entire day's clips right then and there. Then I would upload the video to TH-cam, and delete all the clips off my phone. I guess that would equate to using TH-cam as the "Cloud". --It must be a MASSIVE amount of work for someone who has clips from an iPhone, a GoPro and a Drone, and then try to save those THOUSANDS of clips, and sort them out weeks later at home. --And now on TH-cam, people are also adding Insta 360 clips (on top of their iPhone, GoPro, and drone footage). OMG. --It just must take hours to edit one day's video.

It appears that you're editing these videos from home after the ride was over. How many Terabytes of storage did that take?

Are you using a lavaliere microphone? There's very little wind pop.

When you pan around, are you holding your Cell Phone in one hand and steering with another?

I'm very impressed by your videos. Really excellent.

Man, you don't know how lucky you were not to have had GALE FORCE winds. My friend and I hiked through that area on the CDT. Winds were gusting up to 50mph....for DAYS. Like most long distance hikers, I'm working my way into BikePacking. One question: When you go into a grocery store, what do you do to leave your bike parked outside? (That could be a video by itself...how to keep from getting your bike from being stolen while BikePacking) With my backpack, I just take it off and put it in the shopping basket. I'm NEVER more than arm's length from by backpack. With a bike, even if they can't steal the whole bike, there are like 6 bags that they could just walk off with.

Camping in a soft-sided tent or camper near Brooks Lake is often prohibited. That's why the ACA doesn't include those campgrounds.

Wow; that Lander Creek campsite was beautiful!

Great video story. I have worked the Great Divide Basin, and the sun is deceptive. Few riders realize the elevation effect at 6500-7500', and it wears on you. I live and ride in Wyoming and would like to put together a large loop of the Red Desert and Great Divide Basin. Putting together the water logistics is the biggest challenge. Decades as a hiker in the Rockies and Northern Plains, cow water is a way of life.

Every time I watch a video, I think, this is great to prepare for the GDMBR! Thanks

I have been able to connect a USB c cable between the gopro and the phone to be able to do the transfer. Try doing that with the hub.

loving following your journey I will be taking this trip June 26 Sounds like Lava Lodge are just exploiting cyclists desperate for a few necessities. I will be sure to give them a pass

Great stuff! This question is for anyone who wants to answer: On average, how many hours/days does it take to cross the Basin?

I can relate to your exhaustion when you got to Rawlins. I was cooked too. We camped about 6 miles before South City and rode to the A&M Reservoir in one day then on to Rawlins the next. Probably the most worn out I got on the whole trip. I was lucky to have had a riding partner with. I'm wonder if it was you who stopped to talk to us as we sat down alongside to road in the basin having a snack.

Another amazing video Thank you

Thanks for sharing Joe. Did you film with i-phone, go pro, or what?

Lovely reminder of this section👌. We were a day behind you throughout the basin, camped in the same spots too. I think the itinerary for this part worked quite well. We'll see you on the road out of Rawlins 😊

Great drone shots ,chapeau.

So much climbing!!

Very nice video..Thanks for sharing. I think I may have been a couple of days ahead of you as I missed the fires and smoke, though heard about them when I was further south. Thanks again, they are a superb record of your travels…

My wife also eat it on the St. Charles tracks 😂 nice ride

Nice to see Llama ranch again. We were there two days later. And we met Taz at Weary Creek. 😊

Lovely filming Joe. You should be a cinematographer or something! 😉

I love the drone shots! Was a great stay at Tom and Pat and Rosie’s. And we’re from Holland, not Norway 😉

Hi Joe, so nice to see you! We met twice: at the Wurtz Hill cabin en at Tom and Pat Malone. 😊 So nice to see you video and relive it all again. Well done! Greetings from Astrid from the Netherlands 👋🏻🇳🇱🚴🏻‍♀️

What is that bladder that you are using with your water filter at about 12:40?

Yeah buddy, such a cool video. Fun to watch. Hope I bump into you out there.

The fallen trees are the result of fires. The fire burns off the bark, the trees die, eventually fall, the forest usually lets them lay, but often cuts them down to prevent them from becoming fuel for future fires.

We camped at that Mosquito Lake, and heard wolves that night. Roads are tough there above Pinedale.

Tip: instead of the Ortlieb quick release rack, Tumbleweed Bicycle chromoly rack or Tubus chromoly rack. The Revelate Designs Nano Panniers are nice, light, and the velcro keeps them attached. BUT, instead of the bottom Voile Strap which is fussy to get the right tension, I use a 4" piece of Velcro strap for the bottom attachment. That makes the bottom attachment easy and fast. Fuss free.

There are some tough days indeed sometimes !

I rode in America this fall, and the riding was good, but miles are too long and don’t go down as fast as kilometers, it’s frustrating :-) I keep enjoying your video, thank you!

What is the bell that you where referring to for bears??

What brand racks are you using?Did you have any kind of suspension (stem,seat post,fork)?Great video,thanks,planing on doing the tour divide this year.How was your ride overall?Have any sketchy close calls?

Hi I was on the GDMBR when you were also. Not sure if I had the pleasure of meeting you. Gus and Emily from Australia bailed me out big with a kevlar spoke loan. I would like to repay the favor if you know how I can reach out to them. I was wounded going into Pinedale where GEARED UP bike shop fixed me up. Shadow 👍🚴🏻😎💛✌️

Appreciate the honesty on how hard it must be at times.

really nice scenery in this video. i am planning to do the divide this year, from south to north. your videos are really useful.

We also camped at Lava Mountain Lodge, and I share your opinion of it. I think we were 1 day ahead of you and also found Union pass very hard and full of side by sides dusting us. We ended up camping at Mosquito Lake before taking a zero at Pinedale the next day.

@Frog/151 62 at the time and I had a suspension stem & dropper with a bit of suspension

@jimvincent8117 Thank You! fixed

Wise River to Grant was a solid day's riding in that heat. We only managed about half that distance from memory. We went the soft option and stayed at the Grasshoper Inn in Polaris.
