The richest people you will ever meet don't have millions of dollars. If you asked me this guy is a spiritual billionaire. Great work man that is truly uplifting to watch.
Loving that response man ! Spiritual billionaire it resonates really :) It's nice to find videos like this aside from all the bullshit that we see on TV & everything. Cheers for the upload :)

when and how he die? this is so sad! how old was? from yesterday i watch the videos is the most amazing videos thati have see until now! so beautiful!!!
how terribly sad that he was hurting enough to end his life...such a beautiful, kind soul....his foreshadowing w/the comment, "i know things will always work out in the end, maybe someday they won't...."....my heart hurts
My heart aches as well watching him but he has motivated so many including myself so he should be proud of his accomplishments and the rich life he lived.
I don't know. I would have bet on Iohan in any situation. Calm cool collected. It sort of make you feel like there is no chance for us mere mortals. His inspiration will have to live on with us. I know it does with me. I have put the date of his passing on my phone set to remind me every year. I guarantee there will be a memorial ride for as long as I can. Sleep in peace Iohan. August 19 2021☮️
@@richardp6461I just found out about his story thru CZcams suggestions. I'm a bicycle tourist also. I think that's an awesome idea. Every August 19th I think I'll also be on my bike. Thanks for the info.
GREAT documentary my friend. I did a cycling trip around Europe on my own in 2008 - cycled for 7 months with a tent, a camera and a change of clothes. To this day it was one of the most freeing and amazing experiences in my life. I didn't quite have the same dramas with ice and bears but still had some tremendous lows and even more tremendous highs. It was partly a journey of self discovery for me - asking myself questions that I've never asked myself and meeting the most amazing, friendly and giving people on the planet. For me it was a profound chapter in my life that opened the gateway to the next phase of my life. SO glad you were able to document your journey on video!!
Have you got any advice for someone planning the same? Planning to go next year so some pointers would be awsome. Im gonna make vlogs the whole way so could make for some great content i think
How could anyone watch this and not say something about the trek. Being born in western Canada, I've been to most of the places this guy has but in a climate controlled truck. To do what Iohan has done on a bicycle, especially in the Yukon winter is nothing short of incredible. Thanks for sharing this and planting more adventure seeds in my head.
So sad he died but he left one of the most amazing videos of his adventures. It just gets better with each subsequent video. Totally miss him yet never met him.
@@gdgd5194hey there is someone else aswell called "Greg McCahon" he is cycling to argentina from alaska and he is also greatly inspired by the man himself- iohan :") iohan has passed but his legacy and work is always kept alive by 1000s of ppl who are inspired by him 🙏
You, sir, are a legend. There are no possible set of words that can come even close to describing the beauty of your journey. It was mesmerizing.. Long live you, sir..
I was glued to both part 1 and part 2. I too am Canadian. The mountains in the foreground are absolutely breathtaking. I've always wanted to be dropped right in middle of them with a cabin, and have solitude.
Man that was beatiful. Everythig! And man the editing quality of yours, just as beatiful! I wanted to be asleep 2 hours ago already, it's 3AM now, just because I coudn't stop watching!
Iohan inspired me to take those adventures. I now am a bikepack and have seen so many places..We will miss you. May you find the peace and adventures beyond.
This documentary series is beautiful, no matter you're not on £7,000 cameras and everything else because your storytelling and editing is beautiful. An incredible journey beautifully documented. Super super well done and thank you for sharing your story, from all of us we appreciate your hard work and beautiful commitment.
This is why I love Canada. You have inspired me in a way a can’t put in words, I can’t believe how far two wheels and mindset can take you. Good luck on your future travels
Sure is. I've been checking out Van city van life, Chrome's channel. He stays urban so I can see towns, but this guy shows me the country side. Its gorgeous up there. Looks a bit too cold but Im born and raised in Tx that's why.
I am so glad this came up on my recommended. Thank you for this! I can't explain the feels even though I was just watching your journey. I can't even imagine what I would feel being in those scenic places myself. I wish I could be as brave as you someday. ☺
This was so fantastic! I’m from, B.C.🇨🇦and living vicariously through your trip was incredible and inspiring. One of a kind! Hilarious moments (guys in the truck message to the world: wazuuuup), interesting people and a beautiful video of your very exceptional adventure to some really wild areas! thanks for sharing!🚴🐻🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌
you are a brave adventurous soul...thank you for making this incredible movie to share with the world! since my house burned down I stopped watching television, and only use CZcams. This is the finest thing I have watched in a very long time! I think because you did not fear dying you had this kind of an amazing adventure. many others would have lost their lives if not at least their fingers and toes! I will be downloading this to share with family and friends ♡
Well done! Well paced and never boring. Great editing. Your interactions with the dogs, horses and wildlife is delightful; you are aware of the beauty surrounding you. Subscribed.
Watching these videos gave me the courage to quit my job and travel (bike, walk, hitchhike) across the U.S. I started out in Chula Vista California and wanted to head to Maine. I got mugged in Baltimore now I suffer from sever PTSD and Agoraphobia. I have barricaded myself in my room and haven't left the house for almost 2 years. I don't know what the sun feels like anymore. If I hadn't watched this series I never would have traveled and I'd still have my sanity.
Beautiful! Excellent solo documentation. You have a very engaging accent. Thanks for all the work you put into compiling the video clips. Very nice selection of soundtracks too!
Loved every minute of it! Thanks that i could join! You did what few dare. We are often defeated by our fright, until we dare and rise above them. Then watch how the silly fears fade away in an instant. And fly that much more free now...
I love how very subtly he picks up the canadian slang. I hear so many "ohhhh yeah"s its beautfiul. As a person living in america who was born in canada I do the exact same thing every time I visit family in canada
Amazing video I really enjoyed watching it. This is one of those things I wish I can do for myself one day, just to see everything from the mountains, the wild animals and the people living there its simply amazing! Maybe one day I can pack everything I need and just go, like you.
Iohan, I recently found your videos and they are truly beautiful. Thank you for the inspiration! I set off cycling from the UK to India next year and watching your videos reminds me of why I am making the journey. I wish you all the best on your future travels brother. Keep inspiring!
I'm in 😍😍😍This is THE BEST DOCUMENTARY FILM EVER!!! I could watch it over and over, I suscribed!!! How did I miss this all these years :0. I've seen van dwell, biking when homeless, stealth camping, Bushcraft but only found this by accident yesterday. One YOU are Absolutely beautiful soul, the animals love you. You def connected with Mother Earth and Father Sky, not just talk You Live It.! And brave, esp going through that Artic Highway, Demsey? Sorry my memory not too good...love the wild horses. Music is Perfect. I feel I'm with you on this adventure, love every scene.
Wow. Iohan, what a moving film. I too know the pleasure of touring by bicycle but I have never dared to stray so far from the beaten path. You have inspired me to ride deeper into my province. Thanks and happy trails.
you are the great person with so much of energy and you are a strong man... heads off to you. .. its a great adventure and you have risked your life. .. great
seeing wild horses is such an amazing thing, when you see a horse, theres always someone sitting on it, or it got all that gear on, but just seeing horses playing, and running free, is so amazing!! Great video!
my apologies Aske, these were free range horses (although not accustomed to people at all!) There are wild horses in episode 3 in the Great Divide Basin in Wyoming :) cheers
Man you are truly living a dream you are seeing stuff most of us will never see such a good story teller it made me feel as if I was there. What cam did you use a gopro ? We want to see more awesome brother keep it up
You deserve standing ovation bro. Thank you for making and sharing this wonderful journey of yours. You're the luckiest guy who chose to travel on his own. You're awesome man. God Bless You.
I will share ....... I've now just watch it ....... I stay awake till deep at night and didn' become tired because I got energy of this video ....... more ? see : www.bikewanderer.com/fundraise
Almost 5 years later and I discover this 2 part Journey. Thank you so much for this. This is the kind of content I want to see. Love from Scotland my dude. Keep doing what you do.
Hi Iohan. When you go through Paraguay, I can arrange for you to stay in some places I live in Australia, but my family lives in Paraguay. I have been watching all your videos and they always make me want to leave everything and do what you are doing!
I’m trying to get to sleep and found this series, couldn’t be happier!!! You’re the man, such an inspirational journey! The people are so kind and welcoming too it’s so amazing. Thanks for making this, can’t wait to watch the rest!
The richest people you will ever meet don't have millions of dollars. If you asked me this guy is a spiritual billionaire.
Great work man that is truly uplifting to watch.
That is a wonderful observation you are 100% right he is a spiritual billionaire I've never heard that before and that's you are so right on
Dalton K too bad most of us are spiritually poor and just plain broke. If only uplifting experiences could pay our bills.
i agree what an awesomely brave young man he seems so blessed with an adventurous and kind spirit....
Friggin' incredible!!!
Loving that response man ! Spiritual billionaire it resonates really :)
It's nice to find videos like this aside from all the bullshit that we see on TV & everything. Cheers for the upload :)
So sad that he passed away so young. These movies from him I’ve just discovered a so full of positive vibes and humanity. Ride In Peace forever Iohan
How do you know he died

@@Actualhumanlive FYI, he was suffering from sleep apnea, possibly caused by the extremely high altitudes he was in. Chronic sleep deprivation can take a huge toll on anyone.

Rest in peace Iohan 🙏🏼
You man deserve a milion more views
i totally agree..
He does!
Don’t forget to share!! :)
and then some!
weird to go thru life judging stuff by the number of views...who gives a ****?
I respect you for the journey and thank you for bringing us along with you
Hello Iohan
how terribly sad that he was hurting enough to end his life...such a beautiful, kind soul....his foreshadowing w/the comment, "i know things will always work out in the end, maybe someday they won't...."....my heart hurts
Agreed. Such an incredible journey and a sad ending.
My heart aches as well watching him but he has motivated so many including myself so he should be proud of his accomplishments and the rich life he lived.
Him: ''So what do u want to say for the movie?''
Legendary guy on the back of the truck: ''Wazaaaa''
The two guys in the pick up :whaaats uuuppp! 😀
Love your work Immanuel
How do you reconcile when such inspirational people can no longer find the will to continue?

This is one of the best bike touring videos I've seen. It really captures the zeitgeist of the adventure.
But now, in 2021, the ending is sad.
My home is your home, Earth is our home.
Yeah, I think that was my favorite part.. it was beautiful

A true Adventurer. I don’t understand why, I truly wish you had other options, but I respect and support your decision. RIP.

Most were speechless.. . hard to describe the feeling when watching.. .
Yeah I would skip most of the crazy far northern stuff and just start following his journey from the White Horse. Wasn't too bad from there on.
Seems like CZcams recommandations finaly works, that was 2 amazing videos
So sad he died but he left one of the most amazing videos of his adventures. It just gets better with each subsequent video. Totally miss him yet never met him.
There is this traveler in Lithuania who got inspired by Iohan. Check his journeys on "aurimas valujevicius" on youtube :d

RIP Iohan. Keep inspiring.
In 1969 I hitch hiked from Ohio to California, up to Vancouver and across Canada back to Ohio. You got me by about 5000 miles, man. Beautiful video.
A hidden gem of a travelogue, brilliant.
Love how people connect when they are lonely. In the middle of nowhere it's easier to make a friend than in a big city
The journey of a lifetime and we all get to see it together!
Its good to know people like this exist. Canada is another world. 🐕☮

Never have I been more inspired to take on a trip like this. Possibly in warmer weather though.
This was actually quite moving. What a brilliant video.

Varys met lord Iohan more like haha
My thoughts exactly!

What an epic trip. My main takeaway is how generous and kind people are. It's touching and gives me hope for humanity.
I was laughing so hard when he said: wazzzzzzup. awesome documentary!!
thank you for this, its so inspiring. people like you should live forever!
We wish he did. We really do.

the bears seem friendly enough
you are the great person with so much of energy and you are a strong man... heads off to you. .. its a great adventure and you have risked your life. .. great
I can say that I did not waste 30 minutes of my day watching useless videos on CZcams but watching something absolutely beautiful.
seeing wild horses is such an amazing thing, when you see a horse, theres always someone sitting on it, or it got all that gear on, but just seeing horses playing, and running free, is so amazing!!
Great video!
my apologies Aske, these were free range horses (although not accustomed to people at all!) There are wild horses in episode 3 in the Great Divide Basin in Wyoming :)
