I bike toured from Denali NP to Southern Utah in 2006. I first worked 2 months just outside Denali as a breakfast cook, then left to first ride south to Homer Spit then back to Seward to take a ferry to Valdez. Then took the Glenn Allen Hwy to Tok and into Canada via the Yukon Territory. And down to Montana and to Zion NP in SW utah. Took me 6 weeks. I've been bicycle touring 9 months a year since 1982 when i was 26. I'm 67 now and never learned to drive any motorized vehicles just bicycles. Touring aka bikepacking is the best life and way to see the world. I've pedaled 300,000 miles since September 1982.

Tristan, it was so nice to see you honoring Iohan for the inspiration that he gave so many to get out and tour the world like he did. As a fellow sufferer of sleep apnea and insomnia I know what he was going through...but I had the ability to get medical treatment using a CPAP which I don't think he had during his travels without ability to power it up. Now that I've lost over 120lbs I no longer have apnea and almost cured my type 2 diabetes. This frees me up to do bike tours that I've always wanted to do.

So glad to hear you're doing so well, good on you! Sleep apnea and insomnia sounds like a nightmare, and it's such a tragedy what happened to Iohan, he inspired so many people and the world's a poorer place without him. Happy to be following in his footsteps though!

Beautiful!!... we miss Iohan!

I love Mathilde ! "I came to Alaska because my friends just told me to join them." Ça, c'est une belle mentalité, et une belle solidarité. ;-) Bonne route à toi et à tout le groupe.

lived in the Yukon for twenty years, owned Tagish Marina, worked with Yukon government to spray against mosquitoes. All spraying is always done in a very quiet day to give the chemical time to settle down to the ground to destroy bugs. Long shot will achieve the same effect, I have used long shot many times. Also keep a "bug shirt" with bug spray in it which is worn outdoors doing yard work.

Amazing landscapes and great channel. Thanks for using my music in the intro ;)

Thank you! We're all using different ones but generally we just carry our cameras and lenses in the hip packs since it protects them from road vibrations. My hip pack is the Rockgeist Big Dumpling, which I absolutely love and would massively recommend - it's super expensive but for me at least it's been 100% worth the money, especially as it's completely waterproof
