@@AdamHugill It's Saturday, Sept 8th 2019 and since you were in the military it's 17:20 hr here in Atlanta, Georgia. USA. I just finished watching this video. You look so much more professional with a clean-shaven face and the haircut. It reminded me of another TH-cam blogger that I subscribed to by the name of Ryan Van Duzer. He shaves every morning which intern makes him look very well kept. When I came here to the comment column I discovered that Ryan is a subscriber to your channel also. I subscribed to your channel a couple of days ago while researching "The Dalton Highway" for a bike trip I hope to make in a couple of years. I apologize that this might be running a little bit long but just wanted to tell you that my brother and I are the caregivers for our 97 year old mother. I take care of her from the time I arrive home from work till I leave for work the next morning and all weekend. I feel extremely grateful that I have an opportunity to do this for her. At supper time we no longer watch TV but instead we watch blogs on TH-cam and just so you know you are now on our evening watch list. Keep up the good work. Thanks.
Love seeing the excitement on your face Adam whilst your on those two wheels, it's inspiring. My wife and I have cycled through the Indian Himalayas, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Nepal and Japan but Korea is our absolute favourite place and have cycled from Seoul to Busan and then up the East Coast to the DMZ and the food, people, scenery and infrastructure are just amazing. If you end up in Australia and wind up in Perth we'd love to show you round!
It sound like you’ve seen some wonderful places by bike. The pull of the Americas is strong at the moment but Australia (including Perth) will happen at some point. It wouldn’t be a world bike tour without cycling Australia.
Back to watching one of the coolest best video on cycling.Miss the old Adam. I hope to make once again a cool documentary soon & start making daily vlogs on cycling tours of yours.
Its 3 am I have watched many of your vids over the last six hours. I stopped this to type at 2:35 of the video. I am 47 yo this month. In 96 I was an IFOR member. Etsed in 99. Tried to go back in 03. I was turned away. Anyway in 96 I drove a hmmv through bosnia. That made me really feel for all of you. I had seen the after effects of war. So I can only imagine what it would have been like to fight, 3 ppl I knew were killed. There is a tear running down my face and you know y. My bike shipped yesterday to replace a stolen 1. And I now Know y. . Thanks man.
Adam, legendary youtube channel. You are a tremendous inspiration for people like myself who are looking to start their first cycle trip. I look forward to many more adventures from you. Don't stop!
Thanks for sharing your video! I did cross Korea bicycle tour last Feb and March. It was cold then. Consider teaching English in Korea, private English instruction schools. They pay pretty well, and they may also provide accomodation. I and my wife did it for a while long time ago. Keep loading up video and keep pedaling!
I thought your drone was lost? There are a couple drone shots in here. :) jk. I miss korea. It’s almost too easy.. facilities. Dedicated roads. But lots of cool happy people.
Yep, I bought a replacement. It but the bank pretty hard but hopefully the guy footage will be worth it. You’re right about Korea being easy. It’s great for a few weeks but I’m longing for some real adventure. Hopefully Alaska/Canada will provide 🤞
Hey mate, I feel like we're living similar lives. Only I just joined the Army and haven't set off around the world on my bike (yet). If you're ever in New Zealand and need a place to stay, let me know!
I’m a Brit now living in Australia (on a young person’s visa), arriving last year, four months before my 31st like you’re thinking. Aus is great, weather, wages etc, we didn’t really plan to stay but we love it. I’m dreaming of cycling back to the uk with my partner when our time finishes here, these videos are fantastic and truly inspirational. If you make it to Sydney, get in touch, you’re welcome to hang at mine for a week or two!
Thanks buddy, that’s a wonderful offer. At the moment I’m hoping that I don’t need to too to work but I’ll reassess come next April. Cycling back to the UK will be an absolute dream 👌
Great video as always, I found your videos a couple of months ago and went back to the earliest videos to watch the whole journey so far, such great videos with great scenery and amazing editing (enjoyed the editing video you made too) love seeing the kindness of locals you meet also, look forward to more ,Happy Cycling🚴♂️‼️👍
Thanks Matt, great to hear you’ve enjoyed the he videos so far. I plan to make more “how to” style content in the near future. The locals are what make the journey.
Nice clean look pal 😉👍. I admire how you've been able to let your hair grow - ever since I quit the army I have never been able to grow long hair as after a while I find it too annoying lol
The last straw for me was not being able to fit my cap 🧢 on my head. Camping every night with a mop like mine is a nightmare too. But I’d still say you should give it a go. It’s always fun to mix it up.
Hi Adam. You rock!!! Thanks for all your videos so far, they are really high quality and very enjoyable. I'm heading off myself soon too. I notice you have an MSR Hubba Hubba tent. Have you had any problems with it? would you recommend it for an extended tour?
Hi Ross. Thank you for your kind words. It’s greatly appreciated. I was using the MSR elixir 3, which I think is similar to a hubba hubba. I would recommend the elixir 3 if you are touring with two people although it’s too big in my opinion for just one person.
That’s awesome. Damn, I have loads of questions. I’m looking to get up to the Arctic circle. Either going north through Alaska or Canada. Have you done either and if so have you any thoughts or advice?
Adam Hugill - Cycling the World no idea on Arctic Circle in Canada but have been there multiple times here in Alaska. From Fairbanks it is 180 miles north. First 60 or so are on paved roads, the last section is gravel. The Dalton highway although open for all truly belongs to the truckers who supply the oil fields in Prudhoe. If you treat them right and pull over and stay out of their way, they will treat you well. If not, they will demonstrate that they own the road. In summer a fair amount of car / tourist traffic. The road can vary a lot but tends to have a lot of dust, mud, and rocks. The hills are also not graded like a normal road so steep ups and steep downs. There are no services with the exception of the Yukon River between Fairbanks area and the Arctic Circle and everything tends to be very expensive. Lots of mosquitoes and it is all Bear country. The actual pullout at the Arctic Circle is very un dramatic. Crazyguyonabike.com has several journals of folks who have ridden the road. Where in Alaska are you flying in to?
Adam Hugill - Cycling the World ... So, having watched several of your videos, it appears some “adventure” is a bit of what you seek in addition to some quality cycling experience. So I would probably recommend from Anchorage to travel north along the Parks Highway until you reach Cantwell. At Cantwell I would turn east and cycle the Denali Highway to Paxson and then turn north and head towards Tok which then puts you on track for the road to Canada. The Denali Highway is dirt and gravel but well maintained by the state and is simply beyond words beautiful. Very limited traffic but definitely more friendly than the road north out of Fairbanks. Few spots for services. If you go to Denali National Park north of Cantwell expect lots of tourists as it is a focal point for summer travelers. All of those roads are good, cycled most of them, water filter is required in my opinion, you can camp about anywhere. Folks more than willing to stop and help if needed.
@@PedalPushinAK You absolute hero! That route looks brilliant. This is why I love connecting with people with local knowledge on here. It's on. Thank you.
Just stumbled across this and love it. instant Subscription. One question gets to me always when I see people doing this. it is "how do you finance your life just travelling?"
I started by saving whilst I had a job during my 20s. I now make money through these videos. I’ve made a video all about it here: th-cam.com/video/b2ZSdmID0gg/w-d-xo.html
Thank you Adam you look 5 years younger without the beard and long hair. While on bike packing trips I have a simple rule - shave everyday! Korea is a beautiful country, under-rated in the shadow of Japan. Lovely people, delicious food.
After spending years in the Army and HAVING to shave every day, being able to not shave for the first time in my life is something of a treat. You’re right about Korea being a beautiful country with wonderful people.
Awesome stuff Adam....I only discovered your channel this week and now have seen all your videos....fantastic. I suppose you have a difficult choice to make after S Korea and Japan.... I think you dont get many chances to work in oz and earn some money to keep going...so that would be my choice for a while and if you dont like it you can always move on.... Good luck.
Thanks Ashley. I’ve decided to go for the “riskier” option of Alaska and beyond. Hopefully by loving on peanut butter sandwiches and camping a lot I will be able to make it all the way to Argentina. We will see.
Wow.......now that's going to be epic with a drone as well (DJI Mavic 2) Ok chap keep the vids coming I'll be watching......have you thought of doing a lifestream btw?
I’ve not really thought about a live stream but it’s something I’d definitely consider. I suppose I need to be organised, have good WiFi etc to do it which doesn’t always go hand in hand with bike touring. I’ll give it a good thought.
What is the status with your wife? On your profile it says you "separated". That was a bit ambiguous. Can you elaborate a little bit? Going to America, Alaska, and Canada? Def highest recommendations to watch Iohan Gueorguiev on TH-cam. That guy is a legend. From Canada (like me), bikepacked from Alaska to Argentina and did all kinds of crazy stuff like pack-rafting down the MacKenzie River in the Yukon.
I’m not sure how separated is ambiguous but in short we’re no longer together. As you can imagine, it’s fairly personal so I’ll leave it at that. My future plans change fairly frequently but the plan today is to cycle from Alaska to Argentina. It won’t be the most direct route as I like to wiggle through places. Iohan’s videos are fantastic. I’ve been in touch with him briefly to get some advice for heading to the north of Canada.
Adam, we never met each other, but you look alike a friend of life. Now you are trans to young guy from old grandpa by magic hand in barbershop...Enjoy Busan and Good Luck...
Everyone or most people, I suspect, would like to see the world. However, we have responsibilities too, don’t we? Our country needs schools, hospitals, a civilised way of life etc. All of which has to be paid for. Not to mention our NHS system, which costs us an absolute bomb, doesn’t it? Am I right in thinking that you refuse to pay? If you become sick on your jaunts, what will be your plan? As the years pass by and you need financial support in your life, what sort of pension plan do you have in place? I think that what you’re doing should be weighed against what you are avoiding? Don;t you? You are creating some great memories, but there are lots of homeless ex soldiers with some great memories. Good luck with your later life, hope you’ll stay fit and healthy forever and never need financial help.
Love a good judgemental comment 😂 I’ve spent my entire adult life paying taxes and serving in the military. I’ve had friends get injured and served with people that have lost their lives. I will never be sorry for taking 18 months out of the mainstream work force to travel the world and spread an overwhelmingly positive message. Life is to short. I’ve got more than enough put away for retirement. Enough that I think I’ll be able to spend even more time riding my bike around the world again. Don’t hate on someone for working hard, saving and living their life. Hate on the mega rich that evade taxes and tap up politicians for favours.

can you free camp along the bike route? or they have designated spot for camping
There are designated camping spots in S Korea but I just camped where I felt was appropriate.
Your video is really nice
Sir do have a recommended navigation apps for cycling in south korea
good video, just a bit suggestion, in the 1st 2 minutes of the video where the background music too loud to hear u talking
