Traveling a rocky road at 4000m (13,120ft) on the Eastern step of the Qinghai/Tibetan Plateaus. Just one of the many incredible sights in our recently completed 5 month loop.

If your RTT has a fly...ditch it. Usually cold temps are a result of clear skies, so soak up all the solar heat you can. Also...tuck in a blanket on the alum. supports once you’re inside. Crack the windows just enough for air flow. And like everyone is mentioning...a good fart sack ;-) You'll...

When tunnels become so abundant they start painting them to appear you're driving outside

we've found a beautiful camp...down near the Southwestern corner of Yunnan...near the Myanmar and Loas borders...crystal clear well water that has been used by locals for 2700 years.

These things literally go anywhere

It's almost as if God knew how to design a good product. Yup...I fully agree. Nature has inspired our engineers for centuries and even so some of her creations cannot be replicated. Steven Rander out of Oregon wrote a very interesting paper comparing Sika Spruce and Carbon Fiber I always...

We all have our tricks and gadgets that make our camplife more enjoyable but I wanted to pass on one of my all time favorites. I've spent way too much time living under a tarp...so I've been told. But what I've learned is that bamboo make the best tarp poles money can buy. The nodes allow you...

I'm thinkin' many are getting too caught up on what to call "what we do". I think you "can" Overland in a Walmart parking lot and anywhere else for that matter. We're a few days short of 4 months since we left our cozy little home...and our camps have been a like a patchwork quilt. Some camps...

well....in my younger days I used to call it "Vannin' down by the River"...now it seems I just call it Priceless

Coming down from the Tibetan Plateau...lowest elevation 2350m (7700ft) we've been in months

Some random pass on the Tibetan Plateau 4700m (15,416ft)

We have seen a bikepackers all loaded up...but for the most part they are sleeping in the little hotels because they are so cheap. Otherwise no bikes...terrain is either up or down which might have something to do with it...haha

Yesterday's ride on the Tibetan Plateau

yuppers...I fully agree. After half a year in the mountains...I arrive back home and immediately think of that big ol' oak hallstand in the foyer as a boy with a copper plaque that read "East, West, homes Best". After six months again I start remembering my father saying "home is where you hang...

Well...I can only answer that from my own experience which has been nothing short of amazing. In all the countries I have lived or visited I have never felt more safe...and greeted with such warmth. I mean villagers walk to our camps and bring vegetables and eggs...it's unbelievable. Where we...

Yes...currently high in the mountains of China

hey Dint...your comment here sure provoked a lot of thought. And without a doubt living in a RTT is far less expensive than being surrounded by all the trappings of a well rooted home. We live this somewhat vagabond lifestyle not because of economics but due to the heat that beats down on our...

ya...they're pretty comfortable...you guys look like you're really dialed into riding...awesome. Our overlanding is mostly about the riding...especially the climbs. On a more somber note...a real pity about your young cyclo cross champ

Nice distraction my fellow RTT brother

Had an awesome ride yesterday...rode up to a pass that connects the Tibetan and Loess Plateaus. High point was 4010m (13,150ft). Mostly gravel road and boy and I feelin' it today.
