good to see your own YT Channel now John & Mira! Been watching you both with Duzer lately and he mentioned that you already have your own channel. loving it!
We get so much extra from these video's ; Learning spanish, bikepacking tips, how the drone works, your humour, culteral differences and how beautiful this country is and it's people!! Looking forward everytime !
Lots of cultural differences and many similarities. Beautiful things and great food but I’m not sure that my sense of humour is for everyone. Happy you enjoyed
El hombre de Canadá habla muy bien el español...Dice el gringo. Ja ja. Gracias por compartir tus viajes. Que interesante de ver la gente de los pueblitos. Qué bonitas las vistas de tus vídeos. Y saludos a Mira!!! Hasta la próxima!!!
Hola Joe, Sí, es muy fácil mostrar cosas hermosas aquí en México. Cuando pienso en ello, es fácil mostrar cosas hermosas dondequiera que andamos. Realmente amo el espíritu de la gente aquí en México. Thanks for watching
John, each video you are doing a great job of mastering your adventures. Love the drone footage and smart to use the quad lock on the phone then attach the remote, love that idea !!! Thanks for sharing your adventures and I look forward to where you take us next. Cheers to you and Mira 🍻
Thanks Fredric. We’re heading out on a three-week tour down towards the coast through the mountains and back before we head to Guatemala. So we should have a few more of Mexico in the next month or so
I ride in full sun most days out of the year so one thing I ALWAYS have in my frame bag is a Mylar ® "Space Blanket", yes they can keep you warm by reflecting your body heat, but what most people overlook is the fact that they can also reflect sunlight, which can then be used over your tent say, to give you shade where there is no shade. Always pack Space Blankets!
Thanks for the drone tutorial. And showing us all the effort that goes into getting such spectacular footage. Here's a question. Do you drink your coffee or chew it? 😆Watching you making your morning brew, it looked pretty strong. Tamales. Breakfast of champions. 😋. When you get down furthur south you will find they use banana leaves instead of corn husks. Super yummy. Mira will like those. Journey well.
G'day John and Mira🤠 Not a comment about vid😳 I employ no other social media bar utube. Just wanted to send positive vibes and Groovyiness riiiiiiight NOW to you both. Piece 🌍 love 🌈 and respect my Bikepacking brothers (Mira is a person) P.T🤠🦘
Thanks for commenting Trent. I try to find stuff that I enjoy that doesn’t upset other people. I try not to overdo it as well since some of the nature sounds are enough
Awesome video once again John, so cool to see how you film the drone footage👍The Mexican people are so friendly, some real characters also😉Mira is so great around other dogs, she just sort of shrugs her shoulders and moves on😁 I can't wait for the next instalment, loved every minute👌
Thanks Rab. Yeah she doesn’t take kindly to dogs pressing you’re too much into personal space but she’s getting better at that now that we’ve been spending time at a dog sanctuary outside of Oaxaca. She loves people
Hey John and Mira, such a simple and yet another great tip for making your ground coffee. Thanks for showing these little things that matter and make bike travel that little bit easier. 😊
@@OmniTierra not as of yet, but i head off next week for a little jolly. So i will definitely be trying it out. Oh and also the wash cloth and tea tree oil tip i picked up on from a previous vlog you did. Thanks again John and mira.
Great video!! I see you're a sandals type of guy too!! Sandals are all I wear! Other tourist say they can't believe I cycle in sandals!! 🤣🤣 I say they're the best, as long as it's not cold!! LOL although last winter in Minnesota I had a good pair of wool socks and sandals, I'd walk down to the store with -30 Fahrenheit temperatures!! LOL 🌎🚴
Happy you like them but I’m not really a full “sandal guy”. This was just an experiment in a warm, wet place. Pretty good but it won’t go past Colombia 🇨🇴😜
Thanks a lot Chad. Yeah I’ve updated that version of coffee and will be showing it shortly in a video. Not really a change so much as a small improvement.
I'm 100% in agreement with you on wool gear. I live in Los Angeles and I wear wool socks everyday. I always carry a full base layer in a small drybag(top/bottom/socks) full Merino. My dog has a full set of gear in her own dry bag as well which will be switching out for merino wool kit asap.
Yeah honestly she doesn’t bark very much at all. Usually there’s a reason for it. If she was a very reactive dog it would be a total nightmare riding through Latin America
Hi Helge, so happy you found us here. We will be riding there one day. My drivetrain is @pinion (German made) and I’d love to visit the facility when we pass through 👌
@@OmniTierra I still follow the channel from Ryan and u and Mira are a part of it !!! You mean the facility in Denkendorf near Stuttgart ?? Would be great when it come true one day that you announce maybe the date and planned route in a future video when u ride in germany.
Great seeing you exploring the back country of Mexico. Its interesting watching and hearing your conversation with the locals. It’s nice when you post what you bought and the price. I couldn’t tell what you bought out of the back of that truck. Sweet bread? Smooth sailing and I’ll be looking forward to your (and Mira’s) next video. Cheers 🍻
Sharing a delicious Mexican lunch with Mira. Wonderful❤️ Nice treat from the kibbles! “You are a soggy doggy” 🤣🤣🤣 Neat drone behind the scenes section You and Mira are very cool customers when strange dogs approach. Huge kudos. I would not be nearly so chill based on some of the experiences I have had on 2 wheels and I don’t have a dog with me! 🤙👍
Thanks for allowing us into your life of how you do things. It was very interesting to see what kind of equipment you're using and how you are using it, how you make your coffee, how Mira eats on the road, how you eat on the road. All the little stuff that you may think we are not curious about, is very interesting. Also, the flying of the drone and the stopping and starting of a shot was interesting too. Thanks, John. This was a fascinating video. It was so quiet when you were on the road in the mountains. How nice.
Hey thanks 👍. If those little things that interest me about people when I meet them here in Mexico or other places as well. So I figured I’d show them about us while we got the cameras out. Feel like this channel is becoming a little bit different in that it’s more of a ongoing documentary than anything else. We’ll see
That was amazing. I like all the interactions with the locals. Bi lingual is an advantage. The drone stuff was very interesting thanks. What a cool adventure. Thanks for sharing this with us. Hi Mira 👋👋
Have you enjoyed Harry. I wouldn’t consider myself bilingual yet but I am working hard on it. I hope to be at least trilingual by the time we’re done this trip
Top of the day John & Mira. Spent weekend celebrating Dad's B'Day, gave him "Be like Mira t-shirt". Grew up in Calexico and Dad was in Border Patrol he really enjoyed this video of the beautiful scenery and interaction with the wonderful folks. Guess what we ate for dinner? Tamales (Beef, Pork, Chick, Chili con Queso). Serendipity!! You both stay safe, healthy as you continue this fabulous journey 🐕🚴🤟
That’s so cool. Happy the shirt has a good home. I’ve encountered a lot of BP officers and they have all been so friendly and professional to me. Always making sure that we are safe. One of the last fellows offered us snacks and water while we were on the El Camino del Diablo in SW Arizona.
Yeah the camera doesn’t show it but it was very steep and my brakes needed service so it was tricky to keep the speed under control and not lose the controller. Happy you enjoyed. ✌️
John… I just recently found your new TH-cam channel through watching Duzer (another fairly new one for me). My wife and I love your videos. We are actually dusting off our old camping gear and replacing some items with more bikepackable pieces. One of the things that we’re replacing is our bulky sleeping bags.

Hey John wondering if you have a formula for salt consumption? I found out about putting a pinch of pink Himalayan salt in a glass of water first thing in the morning.. and I'm wondering what you use if you have a special formula or you just don't worry about it
@@OmniTierra thanks for your reply John.. supposedly the pink Himalayan salt contains a variety of salt and minerals that we don't get in table salt.. also the added salt to processed foods typically doesn't contain iodine, nor does the Himalayan salt, is another consideration.. so I try to use the iodized salt in addition for cooking . knowing how to do the skin pinch test for hydration on the top of my hand.. and avoiding cold drinks.. and a conscious effort to take more salt in after being told to avoid salt for most of my life? The pinch of pink Himalayan salt in a glass of water in the morning seems to have.. liberated me.. there are videos about it,.. Dr Ben Berg is one of the better TH-cam clinical scientists with lots of helpful hints and advice.. much love and gratitude John and Mira..
th-cam.com/video/NHZNR5ufpCc/w-d-xo.html James at Black Sheep in Ft Collins (I can recommend his work) didn’t build my bike but he did do some alterations/repairs when the builder messed it up for the second time. I haven’t done a review and probably won’t on the bike frame because I can’t in good conscience recommend the builder I used.
I have worked as a Mountain safety consultant for several years. I also do industrial rope access. (IRATA and ACMG). But honestly, it’s less about what you do for a living than how you spend the you earn. I have it on my list of videos to make in the future. Explaining a little bit more about how I’m able to do this extended travel.
I’ve had an Aeropress for a couple of decades now. It’s just too big and bulky to carry riding. I wouldn’t have room for all this camera equipment😜 That being said I’m working on developing a new coffee set up that I’ll show in one of the videos in the near future. Without a doubt immersion methods are better I E more reliable for travel. Poor overs are just too finicky when you don’t have control over the grind.
John, I'm curious as to how Mira is protected in bad weather. I've trained my pup to ride in a Burley COHO and we're going to start dog packing soon...but the weather thing bothers me. Sun, heat, rain, snow. How do I protect him? Thanks! So admire your journeys with Mira.
I use @rexspecsk9 To protect her eyes from wind and dust. In extremely cold weather Mira does have a vest. I suppose it depends what you mean by bad weather. We both adapt to conditions that we ride through. I might use tactics like riding early in the morning and late in the afternoon if it’s very hot but other than that I can’t think of any weather that’s really too much of a problem.
@@riverdog6875 We’re in the middle of rainy season here in southern Mexico. So really our only choice is to ride or not ride. If it stays warm enough we just keep riding and get wet. In more northerly latitudes or higher elevations we would seek shelter if it was close to freezing and still raining. Really the only weather that’s ever a concern for us is extreme heat and sun combination for rain and cold which is a recipe for hypothermia. Everything else is easy enough for us to manage
@@OmniTierra thank you so much for your reply. I have no plans as yet. I have friends in Tulum I’m spending the Xmas holidays with but then it’s an open sheet, apart from North? But Oxaxaca seems to be a destination to head for initially?
Katz, That’s kind of you to say although I have a very long way to go. @lingQ is the main one I use th-cam.com/video/NQZYL39JEFo/w-d-xo.html It’s a very adaptable and powerful app that’s not game a fied. I also use italki for tutors while on the road. Economical and effective. I don’t know what it’s like for others but I find myself that being excepting of making mistakes (People will correct you if they need or just let it go and smile if they don’t understand you)and using spaced repetition is very effective. Johnny Harris and Nathaniel Drew have created a simple solid program th-cam.com/video/0-uWj9ii4Wc/w-d-xo.html It doesn’t happen overnight but now I enjoy it
What a team 🐶🙌
The Hero 10 makes it look smooth & easy 🤗💕🐕
Hahahahahaha! "Not Birds"! I love this one, John! Very nice video.
“Whelp…the rain….” 😂
Yeah it’s increased by the day this week
Beautiful ride!🐾🥰💙☀️☔️☀️☕️
Great to see you and Mira are enjoying yourselves!
Give Mira a hug for all of us!
For sure Kathy
I couldn't hit like button fast enough before I watch.

Very cool! Thanks for the drone demo & for bringing us along!
Great video
good to see your own YT Channel now John & Mira! Been watching you both with Duzer lately and he mentioned that you already have your own channel. loving it!
As always, really enjoyed the video! Throw Mira an extra stick for me. Thanks for showing us how you use the drone. Interesting. Safe travels!
My pleasure Chris
💚💚💚💚
Awesome!
We get so much extra from these video's ; Learning spanish, bikepacking tips, how the drone works, your humour, culteral differences and how beautiful this country is and it's people!! Looking forward everytime !
Lots of cultural differences and many similarities. Beautiful things and great food but I’m not sure that my sense of humour is for everyone. Happy you enjoyed
Very interesting, we really don’t need too much to be happy 😊
In truth we don’t. Thanks for watching Jose🤗
"Not birds!" love your sense of humour, John 🤣
I’m glad someone does because Mira never laughs at my jokes 🤔
I love it man. Keep trekkin "Biking" haha
Mira could power a small city. Hook her up to the grid . ha ha, nice
Stay safe as always....
Ya she has some serious good vibes 😎
What a fun video, thank you for sharing. I had to watch it twice ❤️
You and Mira are so nice and friendly
Thanks J. I’m glad that you enjoyed it. Hopefully we improve our videos as time goes on.
No complaints from me. I really enjoyed it and love seeing your travels, I think you did a fantastic job
Another great journey, loved the not birds, thanks!

Hola Joe,
Sí, es muy fácil mostrar cosas hermosas aquí en México. Cuando pienso en ello, es fácil mostrar cosas hermosas dondequiera que andamos. Realmente amo el espíritu de la gente aquí en México.
Thanks for watching
Much love to you guys! Stay safe.. I like the coffee making technique, a true climbers secret!
Have you liked it? I’ve got a new iteration, a refinement on the technique that I’ll show pretty soon.
Loving the vids. Keep up the great work!
I ordered the Mira world tour shirt, should be here soon. I love watching you and Mira traveling.
Thanks for your support Starbright. We have a long way to go and that kind of support really makes a difference.

Icebreaker base layers - all I hauled for the last 15 years, merino wool is without peer.
Fit, durability and cost are all reasons why I choose other brands. If they could improve the first two I could justify the 3rd 😜
Love your videos and look forward to becoming a Patreon.

John… I just recently found your new TH-cam channel through watching Duzer (another fairly new one for me). My wife and I love your videos. We are actually dusting off our old camping gear and replacing some items with more bikepackable pieces. One of the things that we’re replacing is our bulky sleeping bags.

I think my sleeping bag is something light and expensive from western Mountaineering. 😜
Great film of journey thru Mexico
What sort of drone is it
Hey Bush That info is in the title of the video and a link is in the description😜
Hey John wondering if you have a formula for salt consumption? I found out about putting a pinch of pink Himalayan salt in a glass of water first thing in the morning.. and I'm wondering what you use if you have a special formula or you just don't worry about it
No formula for me. There’s so much salt already in modern processed foods it’s very easy to get an abundance.

Good job!! How many miles do you ride a day?
Depends on the terrain. Anywhere from 50 km to 200 km in a day. Now that I’m doing a bit more filming I don’t mind slowing down a bit more often
John...how long are you staying....and....when are you moving on.......love videos
Heading out tomorrow. 🤗🐕💕
Hi John, what type of Sony camera do you use? Thanks
No Sony camera used in that video. Check the descriptions below the video for that sort of information typically
What type of sleeping pad is that and what is that air inflating device that you blow into and push the air into the pad?
Sea to Summit
Who built your frame for you cheers

you do ragbrai?
I don’t need to now after watching all of @duzer videos. 🤗
You speak very Well spanish, Just a thing usally the tamales in mexico they make it whit pork fat thats why i avoid them
That would be why Mira loves him so much. They put lard on many food items here in Oaxaca
What have you used to teach yourself Spanish successfully? Seems you can at least do a decent job communicating.
