Beautiful video
Mongolians are wonderful people .
The 79 means you are 79km away from the nearest town. That count starts when you leave the town and if you are 100km away it will be 100 on that blue plate. Hope this helps but I think that number is mainly on the main roads.

Another word for corrugated or washboard is a corduroy road
For a tiny moment I thought he pulled out 1 of your helmetscrews. it would be kinda funny in an ironic way
Great vid!🦌💌❤️👍🫶👏👏👏👏👏👏🇨🇦
I love your travels but am here for your lovely accent ❤
They look like a couple of astronauts saying goodbye very sweet.
21:39 No key is needed here, because even if a thief escapes the town, he would be in a desolate place hundreds of miles away with nowhere to go.

Even though you edited .im just going to go for it I just say it automatically….nice adventure
If you have the room, travel with a bag of industrial zip ties.
Piece of advice: If you use a compressor that you screw on to the valve you should ALWAYS tighten the valve afterwards. Because when you unscrew it you also loosen the valve and eventually it will leak. On a bike deflated regularly for riding in sand the valve caps should be the kind you turn around and use to tighten the valve.
I so appreciate the behind the bars view. It reminds me of my rides! 😁
❤❤❤🥰
Lucky that those guys were willing to work on a Sunday morning 🙂
Good friends are beyond priceless ❤
I've been watching you for a couple of years now, huge fan. I just wanted to say that after I recently lost my 17 year old dog my partner and I have needed something easy to put on and we've been watching your Africa season from the start. I'm so glad that my partner is able to enjoy your channel as much as I have now.
We are absolutely loving it, thanks for all the incredible work you do showing the world and people, goodbyes are hard and I know you can relate with all the incredible people and animals you meet around the world.
Thank you!
I like your smile very much Noraly😊❤
I remember getting a flat tire in the middle of nowhere. Jack up the car, gather my tools and patch the tube and pump it up manually. Back on the road. Carried two spare tubes just in case the tube is a goner.
Never depended a SHOP to be open.
Stop somewhere along the way and pull off. Setup camp. Sleep under the stars.
🙂👍
Wasn't there clearly a German swastika on that monument around the 20 minutes?
Look at how FAR the world has come. It is amazing. Look at all this infrustructure. And its nice. And quality. And safe. Its truly incredible. Cry all you want about 'this place sucks or that place sucks.' No. It is amazing. In fact, its a gddmn miracle.
