HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE WATCHING THIS IN 2019 ?
THIS EXPEDITION IS REALLY EPIC BRO" ! You have my respect!
Just found it.
What a monster!
One could easily die out there. Truckers would be the only comfort. Injured or in disrepair. A trucker would likely save your life. Regardless, this is amazing.
I just too ! Just Inspiring...
yes - 2019. I found Iohan about 5 weeks ago. I've watched all 29 episodes. And now I start back to #1 again. His videos only get better as he goes. later on he adds a drone. Truly epic.
One thing I learned from Iohan. You wanna hate your country , watch the news. You wanna love your country , ride a bike across it.....Rest in peace my brother.
Wdym rip
@@ilikeplanes4955he passed away 😢
@@ilikeplanes4955 brother he's no more. He suicides😢 RIP
@@chicarteldrug0unor0708bro no way😨, this is my first time seeing his video
@@shongsavage3150 where are you from
Coming back here years later...I hope nobody forgets this incredible guy. I hope to see the world like he did one day
Dropping by on December 27, 2023 on my way to watch everything from the beginning once more.. RIP Iohan Gueorguiev 🙏
You'll always be remembered.
What?! i just discovered this and really enjoyed the first video. that's really sad.
@@yesmemarcus it is. Very 😭
Watch All of them, you won't regret it.
His kind soul and love for sharing his experience is a blessing to all of us who aren't capable of doing that and a huge inspiration to those who need the extra support in taking the challenge to travel because is worth it.
"It's been about 3 hours and there has only been 1 car"
It was a dog driving a van.
It was a wolf...he ate the driver and scoping out some reindeers.
HAHAHA WTF is going on today!!! FFS FLAT EARTH IS REAL AFTER ALL PMSL
😂😂
I'll let that sink for a moment
motocidal 😄
Every time he does a shot of him riding, I can't help thinking how he had to put down the camera and ride it a second time for the camera. That's dedication.
Well...
That escalated quick
I was thinking the same thing, imagine the crushing feeling of knowing you need another shot
true :D
@@epoxeclipse i was more like walking back for the camera is so nice to take a break and look around!
@@IohanGueorguiev awesome man! I know at times that kind of treck cam become a chore and I'm glad you kept good spirits through it.
Ride high mate, you will be missed. Eternal love to you. Rest in Peace.
I, Iohan, want to see the world.
Follow a map to its edges, and keep going.
Forgo the plans. Trust my instincts.
Let curiosity be my guide.
I want to change hemispheres.
Sleep with unfamiliar stars.
And let the journey unfold before me.
R.I.P my Canadian brother. I had no clue you were struggling so.. your videos inspired me to set out on my own adventure. Thank you. May you find the peace that evaded you in life.
What a sad news... RIP legend, you will inspire me and a tons of travellers forever
RIP Ioahan. Such an inspiration to many, including my self. Fly high
I watched this three years ago, was inspired and rode my bicycle across Canada as a result, thank you.
This comment has great implications if true. So I'm going to believe it is, and fashion a story of sorts around you, your comment, your existence, your life in whole. You seem nice by the way
@@harrisp584 Really good comment.
Hey! I wanted to make a similar journey, from ontario to BC, but was concerned about running out of food, or being stopped by the police. Any tips would greatly be appreciated!!
Ur such a lier
Ive been watching stuff like this, and im setting out to walk//cycle across america in a few weeks. Mike Posner is also hosting a big walk across america. Seems this need for freedom/travel is catching on!!!! And videos like this are def inspiring people! New age upon us! Connecting back with nature instead of all this bullcrap destroying us
One year of bike wandering in Heaven.Always remembering Iohan.
Beautiful comment. 👍👍👍
I respect this man. Shoutout to the truckers for looking out for him too! Got to love Canada
I was very sad to hear of Iohan’s passing. He was a true nomadic adventurer. An inspiration to many. May peace be with his family. ❤️
A truly outstanding human being who has been inspirational to so many. Your kind soul will be terribly missed, Iohan. Ride on 🙏
RIP Iohan. You were so nice, you were so loved.
Non riesco a credere lui non c'è più tra di noi :( riposa in pace fratello!!! 🇨🇦
What? How did he died? 😮 when did that happen? I followed him for while in 2020
@@mellowyellowlemon7270 he sadly decided to end his life. He struggled with extreme insomnia and sleep apnea
This is the first ioahan video that I watched many years ago. . what a legend, what a life. Farewell my friend. Artic to Argentina ! You did it.
Dear Iohan, your passing is messing me up more than I think it should, given we never met or talked. I didn't realize how much you impacted me. This was the first film of yours that I saw, and ever since then, you have continued to inspire me, and to keep the stoke alive in between my own adventures. I remember constantly talking about you and exchanging your films with my friend while we planned our own trip. That kind of inspiration is really valuable and makes me want to work harder to share my own adventures with the world, in the hope that I may inspire others. The people you met around the world clearly loved you because of your openness and empathy. Your willingness to continually push the envelope of what was physically possible was astonishing to witness. Your unending love for animals revealed the kindness of your spirit. I feel like the world was robbed when you left so early. But really we are so lucky to have had you in the first place. And your films will go on to inspire countless others. I'm so sorry you had to suffer in life. May you be at peace.
Dang man, that's exactly how I feel. I thought I was ready to restart watching his videos again but it's still too soon. Never thought I could miss someone (that I have never met) so much. He was such an inspiration to all of us. He was such a kind and generous person and his videos spoke to me in ways that I cannot explain. I'm sure there will be a day when I can watch his videos again without feeling sad but that time is not right now.
Your comments caught my eye. Very beautiful. Rest in peace, lohan💙
You lived a life others will only dream of. A true nomad who had a lifes worth of adventure in everyday. 7 years I followed your journey and it will stay with me forever. A real supertramp. I leave this last message where it all began, ride in peace brother may the tailwinds be strong. Love from your Scottish compadre.
Rip champion. You're a true hero for many. We wont forget you.
To everyone who just now discovered Iohan and his channel. Have fun watching. This is the most beautiful bikepacking adventure you will ever see.
Bruh I can't believe you are no longer with us, you are the reason that I rode my bike across Saskatchewan, I would have never dreamed of riding my bike outside my neighborhood if it wasn't for you, I love you so much, rest in peace bro 😭
The first and original video for me that taught me that this is something I must do. Such beauty and such a terrible loss in Iohan.
We'll miss you Iohan. Hope you find some peace.
Why would anyone do this? The answer is simple: ...to feel alive, to be alive. Life is meant to live. You have my highest respect friend! The very best to you on your journey through life! Thanks for inspiring me and reminding me to live mine.
Yea but not everyone needs to risk his/her life to feel alive. I would never do this because i can't see the reason for it. It looked like a big boring struggle xD
Rest in peace Iohan. I will always be fond of these videos.
This is what youtube is all about, simple videos, with simple (but crazy) concepts, and enjoyable music.
Happy people.
Happy watch time.
*Love it.*
Sorry but the MUSIC sucked azz.
And excellent comments like yours. Thanks.
@@Hootyhoo-jq9vq hahaha :D awesome reply!!!
My heart is so broken at your passing, Iohan. You meant so very much to so very many people. I am so saddened that your suffering led you to this place. When a pilot dies those who are left behind wish him or her "Blue Skies"
Blue skies, Iohan. Blue skies.
Ah, beautiful. It's making me cry - again.
Iohan you'll always exist in memory. Rest in peace brother.
Ride in peace, Iohan
I biked 700 miles across Europe . I plan to bike South America. At 60 years old it was the best experience of my life
legend
Don't get me wrong, but you should be very picky to where do you plan to cycle on South America. Many places are riddled with reckless drivers. Best luck.
I think America is the worse place for cycling. First, they hate cyclists. Two, it’s not simple negligence or reckless driving. They actually aim for cyclists!!
@@Strange_Brew If you check the data, (crashstats.nhtsa.dot.gov/Api/Public/ViewPublication/812507), cycling is in fact way more dangerous than in Europe. However, Brazil alone (www.scielo.br/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S1415-790X2013000400918&lng=en&nrm=iso&tlng=en&ORIGINALLANG=en), even with a smaller population and a smaller number of cyclists, makes America look as safe as it gets (more than 4 times the death toll).
Please take care! I'm from Mexico, I know colombia is really dangerous, also salvador, honduras and even mexico
This is my favourite bikepacking film ever. Very inspiring. Ride in peace Iohan.
Rest in peace Iohan 🙏 🕊 gonna re-watch some of the videos again. A true inspiration you have been to me and many others thanks for all the joy you have given us all through your journey
Can't believe Iohan is no longer with us. Such a positive energy for life. He was special, so special, more than he ever knew. To think he was suffering such torment that he decided to take his own life is so distressing given all that he had achieved and the thousands, millions of people that he had given enjoyment to, helped and inspired through his videos, that there was no one able to help him when he needed it most, to say "It's ok Iohan, we can get through this. Everything will be ok." Maybe there was I don't know, but it is so sad that he decided to check out. We now have his legacy of beautiful films to watch but now tinged with such sadness knowing he is no longer with us. Thank you for so much you brought the world in such a short time. RIP.
RIP hero
I am just discovering his channel after 1year of bikepacking experience. Heard about his death and decided to watch all of his video
@@Draculapin what happened?
@@Francois_Dupont He committed suicide
@@Draculapin Thanks you for the information.
Car drivers: Those semi rig 18 wheeler drivers are tough
american semi rigs: Man those ice road truckers are something else!
ice road truckers: THERE'S A GUY ON A BIKE!!! That guys nuts!
You: AWWW A DOGGY!
Ice road trucker on discovery Channel 👊👍
Yes,those drivers are tough.But this video is NOT about them, but about this incredible person, hundred times more tough than any driver.
@@slylopez9698eople in tin cans that pollute miss out on seeing the world, they just go FFFFFFFOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM and they're gone..
Cars are silly.
lol
@@OriginalPuro You're silly
I remember watching this 5 years ago, and here I am watching it again. I followed Iohans journey all the way to Argentina, he has inspired me to plan a trip of my own coast to coast across America in 3 years I will document it. I was heartbroken to hear the news of what happened to him. This trips for you iohan!
Wonderful!
Will look forward to watching it if you show it online.
RIP, you were a bikepacking legend.
RIP my friend! Hope you are continuing your voyage some other place! 😢
In 1989 my lady and I rode that road. On a road going motorbike. In summer. It rained. We fell off a lot. Best experience of my life. You, my friend, are a legend doing it in late winter.
after watching that guy walk through a country in a straight line I've been binge-watching things like this lol.
You see the guy sail from L.A. to Hawaii yet?
Why are there so many incredible crazy people out there?!
I want to become one of them, too.
Exactly that's how I got here
@@Zvalgryn LMAO dude youtube is weird as fuck , yes
Notthenewkid 159 me too
I'm re watching all of your videos in order Lohan. I'm so sad you have left this earth. You brought myself and thousands of others so much happiness following your journey.
I'm doing the same, start to finish, the guys a legend.
What a story, what kindness, what madness, what strength, what beauty. Rest in peace Iohan, I'm just meeting you now, but I can already tell you are a remarkable soul.
The part where you're cycling in the dark with no lights in the middle of nowhere and the truck stops by and the driver says "do you need a ride?" and you answer "oh no i'm fine thanks for asking"
OMG LOL !!!
I bet the guy, the next morning, thought : did I dream this or did it really happen ??
Desi haha so true
21:27
- Do you mind?
- Mind what?
- Going for a ride.
*Goes for a ride together next to the Yukon River*
Life is really that simple up there lol
That was like a moment out of the movies
That took my breath away.
R.I.P was watching these 7 years ago and now now watching again
This video (and the following ones) inspired me to buy a bicycle in Canada to travel. Since then touring and bikepacking has been a part of my life.
RIP Iohan
You have been a great inspiration for thousands out there!
RIP dude.. You got me into bike touring.
This is fantastic. Finally TH-cam pushes me some decent content from real people, rather than the procession of TOP 10 and Clickbait videos I usually recieve.
Great Job.
Ride in peace legend
You shall not be forgotten
Rip Iohan 💔🙏
Watching in 2023.... Iohan is a hero...
Rest in Peace.
Inspirational
Life can hurt
It"s been some time since I"ve tried to watch any of his videos. Still heart broken. He was such an inspiration to us all. Love you man!!!
3000 km, no planning just go. After watching this, I will never let the ride to the corner shop defeat me!!
... and he waited two DAYS for a hitch to get to the start ...
numbereightyseven I saw assholes driving by,not stopping.
Iohan. This is just incredible. It is pure poetry of lonelynes, cycling, pristine nature, which wispers all kind of stories. Just amazing. I watched this with tears in my eyes. Incredible. Unreal. And unspoken. Poetry of peace and journey into heart of God.
+zevnikov well said! Very honest and warm video
Same tears here!
Just amazing !
Incredible!!
oh man you made me cry too , respect Iohan
I too was almost crying at some point. This story and adventure is amazing. I dream of making a similar adventure some day, by hiking the PCT.
I remembered this video when he started in 2014. That when I followed him and have been watching him and texting along with him all the way to 2020 when I came back from Chile. He was a great guy. I will miss him.
That was in 2014.... and I am just watching now, August 2019 why TH-cam recommend this to me later 😩 awesome video bro. Keep up the great job
i biked to my local mcdonalds .impressed?
I got it just now
ronald tablet: It was a nice ride from Fresno to Boulder to Cleveland to Boston via Toronto and Montreal in the summer of 1974 when I was 19 on my $139 Raleigh Grand Prix 10 speed all the way camping at dusk in city parks. Not advisable now.
Rest In Peace, Iohan. Your journey has inspired many.
I may have found the most chill man on the planet.
Rest in Peace friend!
I am a cyclist and a Canadian. I think this would be a hell of a challenge for anyone, but a foreigner with no experience with the Canadian cold? It's a miracle you survived.
He is Canadian from Mississauga
charron Really? He seems to have little grasp of the challenges he is facing. Courage or foolishness? I’m not sure which.
TRUE
It's no miracle
It's global warming
Canadian winters rarely even get snow anymore
@@ChaosBW lmao
rest in peace, you were a great, great man, this world needs more people like you......
If you never went on a long journey walking or riding on your own, you can't begin to understand what this guy went through and the reward he got. Truly spectacular !
The bike is a perfect tool to see the world at a speed that allows you to take it all in. This defines the difference between an adventure and a journey. I salute your fortitude and endurance. Personally my old bones would have opted for warmer climates and shorter trips.
"The bike is a perfect tool to see the world at a speed that allows you take it all in." Couldn't have said it any better 👌
How many ppl are watching this in oktober 31e 2021! Epic journey. I keep watching this episode over and over again. Iohan wherever you are...have a nice a save journey 🙏
Rest in peace Iohan. Thank you for sharing your adventures ☀️
Fantastic! The best thing about watching this is seeing the kindness of curious strangers.
why not call them "people"?
George Prog why not call the strangers ? Does not take anything away from their humanity as people
Just seeing this video. What a life changing and awesome experience. With all the sincerity a typed message can have, my hat is off to you sir.
I followed him for long, I got inspired by his journey, I bought a bike, and learnt that I like hiking more, I want to travel slow, and see everything, I am still a bit impatient sometime. Now I have the plan to next year take 7 months of and walk aroundy my country the netherlands, and sometime walk al the 11000 km of trails.
He gave me so much energy and things to look forward for, he will life in my being forever., I would not be what I am without his inspiration.
Hope he lives forward in our Adventures
I did the same and realised I preferred hiking :) my friend is planning on going on a mini bikepacking trip in his honour, I'll probably join. I wish he was still here instead :(
is he dead?
@@hanskloss9482 search for his name on TH-cam, there are videos made by other bikepackers and friends, there is also a video about his goodbye at a memorial place., it's hard for me to answer your question here, because I'm having a hard time with it, yes
@@Philonix sorry to hear that, it's the first video of him I've watched
@@hanskloss9482 it's a great journey, it's not just biking in a straight line to argentina, he bikes walks and rows, and it's amazing
We miss you so much, Iohan❤️ Thank you for everything. Fly high
That so sad he’s not here with us. It was a devastating news.
@@renoesmaeilian9489 Yes💔 All the best to you!
Rest in peace brother. Thank you for sharing your life and experiences with us.
Listen. Did you hear it? Mind. Blown. The beauty and poetry of this film brings tears. Thank you. Be you.
Words cannot express: RIP bro...
I have watched this before and now watching it again. Just found put he passed away. RIP Iohan.
What surprised me most.. no spare parts, no tire repair, no chain repair, left winter cloth behind etc. etc. etc.
Not shown in this film at least
you won SIR, you won. whatever life has, you won. incredible
but hes poor homeless
@@gewizz2 Since when does money guarantee happiness?
@@gewizz2 Not so poor these days.
Well said, Dave! RIP, Iohan.
Loved everything : The video, the sound, the music, background, the weather , the determination, the peacefulness, the loneliness. Everything about it.
Some people do such courageous things and don’t even realise , the world needs these people , total love and respect , in 50,years time who,remembers the little,guy with a camera… everyone bro
Man, I really wish I could have stopped at a coffee shop with you and talked about this more.
Iohan, for some reason you remind me of Werner Herzog. Not just the tone of your voice and style of narration, but the brilliant filmmaking as well. I sincerely admire your endeavour. Respect, brave man.
I had the same thought!!!!
I was about to type the same commentary about Herzog's style of narration and casual absurd observations! Great.
This totally just made me realize the same thing, this and Happy People are some of my favorite things to watch every so often
r.i.p. Iohan
Where ? Argentina? "Oh man , I love you ." That's so nice.
First off, this is an amazing documentary. Second off, I will never complain about headwind when i cycle after watching your video. Great job Iohan!
RIP Brother you're surely will be missed by peoples from all across the world's watched this videos when he was first published this amazing videos and Amazing cycling journeys, and your no longer in pain you're in happiest places now,So long until we met again in next life.
"The north is a cold and unforgiving place but the hearts of people are warm." Wow I really enjoyed watching this video. Truly awesome Iohan Gueorguiev!
Plus how this guy single-handedly captured video footages with so many different angles and distances on such harsh place is praiseworthy.
God speed Johan. Thank you for your contributions to humanity. Rest in Peace my brother.
RIP champ🥺
This video doesn't deserve 1 billion views. It's priceless. Thanks for telling us about life, brother!
Sweet comment
Loved watching this again. RIP, Iowan, you will be greatly missed but your spirit will live on in your videos, 😔
I wish you were still around and that I could thank you for how much you inspired me in my own adventures and in my own videos.
Never afraid to take the road less travelled, always optimistic and always Iohan.
Thank-you.
This is what living the life you want,creating life time memories, meeting new people and satisfying your mind ,soul and body ..we love you Man ..
Wow! Watching this you can see how difficult it was. Apparently things were a lot harder then he let us know about. Insomnia and depression and being stuck in Canada because of travel restrictions didn’t help. I wish that he had someone to talk him out of taking his own life after making such an incredible journey. It’s sad!
I love how self reliant you are with your bike, and carrying your shelter (tent) and supplies for nearly the entire trip.
We lost true hero, friend and creator. So sad, need time to stop cry… Rest in peace Iohan…
Wowwww super... You are not only a brave and great adventurer but also a great filmmaker... BRAVO! Thanks for sharing.
If this is not living life to the fullest, I don't know what is. Makes my occasional bike ride around the block seem like a speck of sand compared to his journey. Truly inspirational.
Iohan Gueorguiev, in my opinion is the ultimate fat bike adventure channel. I have spent many afternoons watching these videos in amazement.
We needed more souls like you. Rest in peace.
It’s like a world where everyone knows each other. Thank you for this beautiful video.
This is appreciation of life to the fullest!! No time to waste
I first saw this video right after lockdown started in 2020. I couldnt travel or go anywhere but Iohan showed me places and adventure I could only dream of. It inspired me to get outside and watching his videos fulfilled my soul when lockdown had me depressed and bored. I will never forget this beautiful soul and the gift he shared with us. I feel very blessed indeed to have shared in his life. He is missed beyond measure.
when you're on the road, shoe-leather-express or on a bicycle, there's nothing like it in the world. just traveling. And people everywhere are good. This is a beautiful world, and this guy is finding it. So glad he posted. Thank you!
