Wow. What a gorgeous collection of lakes. Your fresh water floaty rinse off looked sumptuous. That must have been rejuvenating. I hope the little rodents didn’t poke you in your back during the night. 😊
Awesome vid and very peaceful. Bikes get much heavier for sure when set up for bikepacking. I like that you keep it minimal so you can change where you want to go any time.
Loved that one, thanks Naomi! Those little hidden creeks are COVETED by all...clear, cool, shaded water...little hydro-oasis. Some have little fish in them too.😁😀
Did you notice if there was any life in those crystal clear lakes. While backpacking in the Sawtooth Mountain range several years ago I noticed what seemed to be lakes absent any vegetation. This was seen way above the tree line.
Another amazing video! TY sooo much for your effort. Sorry, But I had to laugh at hike-a-biking with a loaded bike I know many people can relate with it. And the dust and the noise from all the vehicles, all part of the journey. BTW I liked the walk-in of the hike-a-bike section that's not one of your normal techniques, now all you need is a drone. LOL Thanks again,
YAY!👏I welcome ALL laughing at my expense! 😉 I shoot with my arm holding my iPhone out so doing full bodies never crosses my mind. In this scenario I wanted to remember the rock and time it took to go such a short distance so I balanced it against rocks. Drone = more footage to edit. NOOOOO! 😂 If this channel ever makes money I would consider a drone but for now it's just arm and phone.
@@HumanontheLoose No not laughing at you laughing with you we've all been there and that's all you can do put your head down and keep pushing. Love your courage, authenticity, beauty and silliness. TY
Yeah I’ve had that sensation of having a small critter right under my back in the middle of the night. Not good lol. What a beautiful place though! Thank you so much for sharing your adventures with us. You’re adorable 😍
👏 🏆 When I first watched the day in the editing program I BURST out laughing. I must have watched it 20 times. Who needs comedic writers. Just let me free speech and it will all come together. 😂 I wrote the caption for those with a sense of humor as I'm sure many read it pondering, "What am I thinking?" 🤔 At the time I was totally thinking about rodents but it played out beautifully! You win an award for "getting it!"
What a treat to sit down for lunch to enjoy your new video. The correct term hoping that someone in a campground will feel sorry for you and give you a hamburger is called ‘Yoging’ as in Yogi Bear. It is a backpacking thru hiking term. I learned it a couple weeks ago. You clean up pretty nicely. Ride On.
How ironic. I just sat down for lunch and enjoyed your kind comment! "Yoging" - cute! Love that type of info. Why thank you! Receiving a compliment from footage of me sitting in the woods after getting out a lake - is the most flattering!
Hey Roy!! Sweet! I do but where I’m headed I won’t have a bike when I get “there” so I’ll most likely be posting day adventures which will be much easier to load a day or two after I take them versus waiting months going through endless footage from a long trip. Although if I am able to find a used bike “there” I will definitely head out and maybe a 10 day trip. I’m not “there” until November so I have no idea and you’ll just have to wait until I am “there” to find out. 🤣😜🤗😂
I really enjoy your enthusiasm! When I'm out on a motorcycle ride cross country. I think about how much more I take in of the scenery. So I can only believe that you are taking in even more on your bicycle. Which can only be a great thing. Enjoyed your videos!
If you watch enough videos you'll see I am very easily entertained. 😂 Excellent input! I'd love to try a motorcycle trip. Although I LOVE risk - I wouldn't want the years practice to master it with weight but with three wheels I can just jump right on and GO! Where is your next adventure?

This video made me want to jump on my bike and go with you. I probably would try to convince you to stay one more day at the last lake. I’m in spokane and just mite drive over there and spend the night. Quiet time in the outdoors is the best therapy for every thing. Thank you for sharing your therapy with all of us.
WHEEEEE!!! I would not need convincing! After watching the footage I thought - dang girl why did you go so fast? I have no idea. I think I felt like I was going so slow already with all the wet and I was anxious to pedal. Did you drive over? I usually need therapy AFTER these trips! 😂
Naomi: oh the drama of a wilderness wake up😂. Luxurious feeling of clean. 😊 the recurring theme of care for rodents. And your entrapment with the phrase I know what your thinking oh you wise and witty women. Pedal on.
Found your channel a few days ago, and I'm loving working my way through your videos. Keep doing what you're doing, it's great content. So refreshing to see someone obviously living their best life. Looking forward to the next
Can you believe after editing over days I still watched it a few more times?! I really loved this episode. A bit of everything. Do wish I camped at Yellowbelly. Quite magical spot all to myself! You're comments brighten my day!! 😃
@@HumanontheLoose I had to watch this one again this morning, its got to be one of my favorites. When I'm in the mood to see you and a new video isn't up yet, I grab one or two of your older ones. Your stuff just makes my morning, and its such a great way to start my own day.
Wow, what an incredible view to wake up to! Breathtaking! The whole trip was outstanding. Just before you shot you bathing I was thinking I hope she goes in the water here. It looks so freshing. From your reaction it obviously was. 🤗 I have to admit your dinner did look yummy, sort of a soupy American Chop Suey. Once again, I love your choice of music. 🎶
BRENT!!! Wonderful surprise seeing your name. Took me a second - at first I thought it was a message from a donkey. 😂 A hug from one amazing friend to another!
Definitely gorgeous areas, especially that Yellowbelly Lake. Nothing refreshes more than a cleansing dip in crystal clear water. I have even taken dips during winter on multi-day backpack trips, you sleep better and just feel like a new person. Loving these adventures.
I'd love to go back to Yellowbelly - float on the lake...just chill. So tucked away from everyone. You're own paradise! That was my first "wild" lake dip and I agree the cold water after a workout felt fabulous and quite frankly I should have just camped there. Thanks for commenting! Thrilled you are enjoying them!

Many have an expectation for their channel but since I'm just winging it - comments like yours are a real pleasure and catch me off guard. Thrilled the vids motivate!!
I love that country you can do its easy to find a camp site to rest and sleep in the Philippines its hard because Houses are everywhere so stay safe and enjoy the ride Mam.
Thank you for sharing helpful info for those thinking of biking in the Philippines. Yes - it's great in the USA for camping BUT mainly in areas like Utah, Idaho, Montana, Colorado. Western USA. Tons of free areas we call BLM Land.
You're a bike-pusher again... Some of that trail reminds me of certain parts of the trails in my neck of the woods. Nice tires btw; have a 27.5 x 2.8 Martello on the front and an Agarro 27.5 x 2.6 rear. Love Vittorias(!).
Yep..and it continues! Where is your "neck?" I love that you said "nice tires" because if you offered me 1million to tell you what they are I would lose. 😂Oddly I knew my road bike ones and they were #Vittorias - and yes - LOVE THEM!
@@HumanontheLoose Reno, NV is the "neck". Got hooked on vittoria knobbies esp. since Michelin has nothing for 650b+ tires. Just wish I could say the same about my frame...
You are a BLAST! Your videos make me realize I need to get some new friends who want to push limits and say fuckit! I don't travel as well as you by myself but if I hung around more people like you I think I could get there. One day you should think about creating an outdoor adventure class. I would sign up!
Welllll....goshhhhh...thank you!!! Hahaha!! My most adventurous friends have been male which makes sense since it's the men I see biking, hiking, on motorcycle trips, climbing trips, boating....yep - always groups of men. The women are just along as the "girlfriends" but rarely lead. Someone else mentioned a class. When I hit 50k subs I'll consider it!
you are a huge motivator. I commute by bike year round, mini adventures at best. 2023, I want the full expereince. Call it semi retired, whateever, I want to take some of those rides...
Loved the singletrack, must have been brutal with those 12% grades !6:33 Oh yeah baby! The first scene at the lake was amazing, reminded me of Smoke on the Water 🎶 Nice to wake up to a blue sky. 15:05 I know what you're thinking 😅 No segment of Squirrels Gone Wild?🐿 Being from the Sierras in NorCal all the riverbeds in your vids have me wondering about placer gold! I caught the bug long ago. You seemed really happy this ride. Loved it but it was over too soon. Cheers Human on the Loose, for today is National Ice Cream Cone Day 😋🍦
Now THAT was the PERFECT title for the last episode - Squirrels Gone Wild!!!! 😂 Brutal indeed. I always knew I loved testing my boundaries but when I edit through these trips it truly solidifies. 15:05 I couldn't have written it better. I laughed so many times watching that scene. I wrote something for those with a sense of humor as I'm sure it went over many serious heads left thinking, "What is she talking about?" 😂 GOLD!! I'm a rockhound!
Funny you should ask. I rarely edit anything out but I took what I said they were out. 😂 Nuun tablets. One was a hydration with extra sodium the other a greens (veggies). Interesting...as another gal here named Kim said the same thing. So that's three ladies. They do say it's more common in girls than boys. I guess we've just proved that. 😉
Then I'd have to stay on pavement - which is fine - but a totally different trip. One of which I think I would love. I'm such a minimalist and like changing my mind A LOT I'm not sure if it would be smart with my type of personality but I love that you are suggestion that especially for others reading comments!
No. I hand hold my iPhone out in front of me. It can be dangerous on singletrack from the weight of the bike side to side..pedaling the weight...and having only one hand on the handlebar/break. I do more in the coming episodes. I had one of those twisty 5inch mini tripod things but hated using it. I didn't want any gadgets on my handlebars with my phone baking in the sun, I can keep pedaling and whip my phone out and start shooting at whatever angle or spot I want in a flash. That's why I like just holding it. When Season 1 came out so smooth I thought - heck - just keep hand holding the cell phone. I own a GoPro but - ya - I just like as little as possible to deal with. Thank you for noticing - I don't think many pick up on it.
Gorgeous! Idaho has been on my list for a long time but wow love the shots of that area! And just remember hike-a-bike = #HOT A@@ Hot Legs!!! And do you really know what we’re thinking lol
Great question! I hate duct tape. Too wide, too sticky (especially in high heat) and leaves goopey stuff after you pull it off. Electrical is SO strong and none of the above. In Season One (gravel bike Boise to Canadian border RT) I had to tape my Keen sandal ankle strap. I biked all the way from Glacier to the border back to Boise - never came off. I think I show it in the last episode.
@@HumanontheLoose I understand. For general uses electrical tape will suffice and is less troublesome but I'm a Hope for the best but plan for the worst kind of guy. That stickiness is precisely what makes it so good in an emergency. You could literally tape a bike frame back together with it to at least limp back to civilization. Then deal with getting it off your bike later. Lol. Just a thought. "Hopefully" you don't find yourself in that situation.🙂

Loved the singletrack, must have been brutal with those 12% grades !6:33 Oh yeah baby! The first scene at the lake was amazing, reminded me of Smoke on the Water 🎶 Nice to wake up to a blue sky. 15:05 I know what you're thinking 😅
No segment of Squirrels Gone Wild?🐿
Being from the Sierras in NorCal all the riverbeds in your vids have me wondering about placer gold! I caught the bug long ago.
You seemed really happy this ride. Loved it but it was over too soon.
Cheers Human on the Loose, for today is National Ice Cream Cone Day 😋🍦
Now THAT was the PERFECT title for the last episode - Squirrels Gone Wild!!!! 😂 Brutal indeed. I always knew I loved testing my boundaries but when I edit through these trips it truly solidifies. 15:05 I couldn't have written it better. I laughed so many times watching that scene. I wrote something for those with a sense of humor as I'm sure it went over many serious heads left thinking, "What is she talking about?" 😂 GOLD!! I'm a rockhound!
Ah-mazing
Nice alpine area.
What are the those two disks on the log?
I get Reynauds, but just in my hands and feet.
You found such a cute stream!
Funny you should ask. I rarely edit anything out but I took what I said they were out. 😂 Nuun tablets. One was a hydration with extra sodium the other a greens (veggies). Interesting...as another gal here named Kim said the same thing. So that's three ladies. They do say it's more common in girls than boys. I guess we've just proved that. 😉
I would love to go into the wild with Naomi stock. And as a man once said quote it ain't happening".
Next year you should try a trailer
Then I'd have to stay on pavement - which is fine - but a totally different trip. One of which I think I would love. I'm such a minimalist and like changing my mind A LOT I'm not sure if it would be smart with my type of personality but I love that you are suggestion that especially for others reading comments!
Do you use a camera gimbal? Even on the rocky single track, your shots were super steady 👍
No. I hand hold my iPhone out in front of me. It can be dangerous on singletrack from the weight of the bike side to side..pedaling the weight...and having only one hand on the handlebar/break. I do more in the coming episodes. I had one of those twisty 5inch mini tripod things but hated using it. I didn't want any gadgets on my handlebars with my phone baking in the sun, I can keep pedaling and whip my phone out and start shooting at whatever angle or spot I want in a flash. That's why I like just holding it. When Season 1 came out so smooth I thought - heck - just keep hand holding the cell phone. I own a GoPro but - ya - I just like as little as possible to deal with. Thank you for noticing - I don't think many pick up on it.
Gorgeous! Idaho has been on my list for a long time but wow love the shots of that area! And just remember hike-a-bike = #HOT A@@ Hot Legs!!! And do you really know what we’re thinking lol
Indeed! 😂 I'll keep your hashtags in mind when I'm grunting on my next climb! I DO!
You seem to be a big fan of electrical tape. Is there a reason you chose it over duct tape?
Great question! I hate duct tape. Too wide, too sticky (especially in high heat) and leaves goopey stuff after you pull it off. Electrical is SO strong and none of the above. In Season One (gravel bike Boise to Canadian border RT) I had to tape my Keen sandal ankle strap. I biked all the way from Glacier to the border back to Boise - never came off. I think I show it in the last episode.
@@HumanontheLoose I understand. For general uses electrical tape will suffice and is less troublesome but I'm a Hope for the best but plan for the worst kind of guy. That stickiness is precisely what makes it so good in an emergency. You could literally tape a bike frame back together with it to at least limp back to civilization. Then deal with getting it off your bike later. Lol. Just a thought. "Hopefully" you don't find yourself in that situation.🙂
A great point as I never thought of taping to that extent.
It seems you are the only one not concerned about the world’s dramas
thats why you go into nature....
This trip was last year but even so - with no internet the world is BLISS! 😃
