And yet another great video, Brad, thanks! I know, you're not doing what you do to post records or brag about your feats. But you're almost too humble not mentioning what you did during the breaks, like thru-hiking the AT, when you were in the US. I wish you luck with all future endeavours - next probably in NZ from what I hear. Keep your videos coming, they're much appreciated, they're inspiring me and they may well change the way I look at life. I'll take the first plunge and be on the AT come next February. You'll have to take half the blame for that (the other half goes to Dixie). ;-)

Brilliant video! The cycling adventure is what brought me here as it is something I am in the early stages of planning. The laid back way you present yourself and your adventure is to be admired. No bragging, no bullshit, no sales pitch of kit and equipment (though what you use - and more importantly what you find you don't use - is of interest to me) but just a straightforward docu-cyclo-adventure. And on that particular note I have to congratulate you too: this is a very well put together and edited piece of work - so easy to watch and get drawn in to. Fantastic footage. All the very best for your future miles and maybe see you out on the road sometime in the near future. One negative, if I may? There are other adventure cyclists on here who have done far fewer miles but have posted videos that are many times as long as this video! - you could have easily bumped yours up to 30 minutes or more and still held our attention. You've a great story-telling way that is backed with good cinematography! Looking forward to the next instalment. Subscribed!!!

That was terrific and has spurred me on even more if that's possible. But one place at a time, UK first, from Fort William and over to Skye, then down the West Coast of the nations to Cornwall; Then West to East. I need to get it all worked out first though fella - I hope in years to come to be able to do Darwin to Perth or Adelaide and follow to see where some of my family went yonks back. The more I read about bush life the more it appeals, so i want to visit and go bush. Of course i'd be asking the Australian government and tribal councils about that. I heard stories that an ancestor of mine travelled across the great Centre from Victoria to Freemantle, of course I think that's probably nonsense but in my retirement it would be something to check out. Anyway he was from Cairnes I later found out so, it makes it a very tall story indeed...lol. Other ancestors went to Canada, Banff in fact; They were island folk from Skye so hot weather would not suit them. Thanks for the great video I enjoyed and will have a look some of your others.

Happy that your video showed up in our feed. Great little video you've put together. Obviously, you have way way way more footage and stories to tell!! We cycled for 25 months from March 2013 to April 2015 through 28 countries and 14 US States. However, we have always wanted to do this route as well and fingers crossed... we'll make it happen in the not too far off future. Truth be told though, I (Ron) am a little worried about the big bears up in Alaska/Canada. Did you ever have any issues or close calls? We are familiar with all the suggested bear precautions and didn't notice a bear food container or spray. Also did we hear you correctly that you cycled up to Dead Horse and then you cycled back down? And also did you buy the sailboat or did you hire the sailboat from Panama? Cheers and happy cycling! ~Ron & Petra

Mexico can be danderous for the people who live there, specially if they are narcos. For tourists Mexico is generally safer than most USA cities. Of course Acapulco and Cancun are not the safest places at the moment, the rest are great. Really, it is safe, go there and enjoy the Mexican hospitality. I liked it so much I could easily consider moving there to live.
This video is very well put together. I echo the other comments. I am looking to connect with like minded individuals who would consider traveling the world with camera gear, drones, tripods etc. To create not only amazing memories but amazing photography and video.
