Always buy cookbooks from obese cooks they know how to cook the best.
When you leave things behind, just think of it as though you gave you hatchet to a nice person for the person who came after you, it was a good act of kindness ❤

Bummer about the hatchet. But, this is timely for me, just a couple weeks ago we made reservations at Cascade Campground up from Red Lodge so we can ride Beartooth this summer. It's going to be awesome.
Awesome video Amanda! Don’t worry there always another hatchet waiting for you. 👍👍
Riding bike is my mental therapy...
Beautiful video, thank you! Always appreciate your thoughtfulness for the Native cultures you encounter. Watching this made me think - would you consider doing a video on all of the non-glamorous parts of riding? What have you found best cleans your helmet on the road, hygiene kit update, etc.?
So cool that you and your brother get along so well.Enjoy it while you guys can as time marches on.Really enjoy your adventures and thanks for sharing.
Beartooth pass is a phenomenal road!!! Got to ride it this past summer. Would definitely recommend and ride it again.
So cool! Did Beartooth I’m my way to RMR last year but added Chief Joseph (the Wyoming one) back to 160 and up to Billings and over to RMR. Long day but a good one!
Love your videos Amanda! Another great one. Looking forward to the next one. Keep them coming! Cookbook looks awesome!

Amanda, to avoid forgetting your next hatchet, get something that lets you fix it to the crash bars on your bike. That way you can see that it's where it's supposed to be before you leave camp.
Wow! an awesome video Amanda & Gary. Thank you 👍

Thanks so much for the videos you make. I can't even imagine the work involved to produce such good quality videos. You and Gary make a great team. I understand the whole anxiety thing , I can relate and I felt it as you experienced it on the video. While time and budget doesn't allow me to have lengthy motorcycle journeys I am grateful I can come along on yours via video. Peace from Connecticut.
glad your back, so happy

Hi, you're an amazing person, doing what you love. For me, moments like the little axe. When I'll look back on my life. The forgotten axe will not be an important moment. The joyful journey with your brother would definitely be 👍. That's how I try to put things into perspective. I am saying this in the most positive way. Live, love your best life, peace ❤

Oh for sure! Tbh I had completely forgotten about that anxiety attack until I was editing (since this was quite a few months ago now). But I also think it's important to keep those moments in for perspective and balance because travel is just not always sunshine and rainbows (haha literally, thinking about that lightning storm at Wind cave National Park)

Moto Camp Nerd! But I think he's out of stock right now, but I left links in the description to both his store and the one on Amazon. If you haven't already watch the video before this one '7 Days--' I talk about my initial impressions but I've been using it for months now and I love it and I have sacrificed space for it because it's so nice to cook on.
What I want to know Ms. Zito, has Honda wised up and sent you the title to that Africa Twin yet?
Did the P-38 come from Ben at MCN or did you get it at a AN surplus store...I still have some from K-Rats cans as Vietnam surplus I ate in the 1970's. Sorry about the hatchet but you came through on dinner.
What’s a good warm to hot weather jacket to wear that has some protection…
I know you've probably shown it on another video somewhere, but what's the larger battery bank / power station you're using and how long does it last?

Thank you for your vulnerability, Amanda. You are inspiring. Losing gear on a trip like this one, with space limiting life to essentials, can make a huge difference. All us motocampers have to deal with that. You are appreciated... from Spokane.

The PDF will be sent to your email in May (as noted in the Timeline on the Indiegogo Page). The Paperback will be shipping in July but due to the various locations books will be shipped to, the expected arrival time is August. It could come sooner than that, just depends on shipping times.
Congratulations on the new cookbook! I already signed up for alerts as soon as the pre-order becomes available! It looks fantastic and can't wait to try out the recipes! Thank you, as always for another amazing video - looked like a spectacular time and if I was anywhere remotely close to Oregon, I would definitely join you at the ranch! Hope everyone has a wonderful time! 🏍🏍🏍
