Bikepacking on the GDMBR from Whitefish Montana to Red Meadow Lake (Day 19) 

One of my favorite channels now. Pigs don’t sweat at all.

I can confirm that pigs don't sweat there skin goes red and blotchy to aid cooing ,I am a retired dairy farmer and when I was at agriculture collage we had to do work with pigs as part of the course ,never liked them noisy things .My wife says ladies don't sweat they perspire !

Thanks for sharing your lovely ride,, greetings from Iraq

ANSWER: If pigs can’t sweat, why do we have the expression “sweat like a pig?” The term is derived from the iron smelting process in which hot iron poured on sand cools and solidifies with the pieces resembling a sow and piglets. Hence "pig iron". As the iron cools, the surrounding air reaches its dew point, and beads of moisture form on the surface of the "pigs". "Sweating like a pig" indicates that the "pig" (ie iron) has cooled enough to be safely handled. And that's a "pig" you wouldn't want to eat.

I always appreciate it when you speak well of others. Kudos & good karma to you! Good to see Tom and Ted got jobs. Mackenzie River Pizza Co ...hmmm, that name reminded me of when I rode my MTB on the Mackenzie River Trail in OR back in 2017. 🤙🤙 Another fun bike vlog entry!! ps. the Perseid Meteor Shower is always a cool thing to see during the summer.

Another really good one, Naomi. It is engaging to follow the guys in their journeys too - You connect more than just the miles in each episode. Pigs may not sweat but I will stop looking forward to your next video when they fly.

Looks like an ideal place for cycling and camping.

Wow! Naomi that was a fun episode so much useful info, gonna have to get that collapsible water bottle. I used to spray Deep Woods Off around the vestibule of my tent with good results. Those mosquitoes 🦟 are big enough to carry you off. Love it when people wonder if you can handle 6% for 5 miles.🤣 You had me at Pizza 🍕😋

Naomi you rock! That pizza place is 1 of my spots when I am up in MT. You have an incredible ability to connect with people!

As I sit here in my cozy living room I was exhausted watching you hike a bike. Kudos to you. PB&J would have been my pick. Tuna first 😳 nope wouldn't happen, couldn't mix the two. Such amazingly beautiful country. I agree the first little lake was prettier but then you may have missed the meteor shower. Once again it is so nice to see the kindness of people. 🤗

Just came across your channel, memory lane on the Divide Trail, Love it! Look forward to watching your adventures.

What Life Should Be To learn while still a child What this life is meant to be. To know it goes beyond myself, It's so much more than me. To overcome the tragedies, To survive the hardest times. To face those moments filled with pain, And still manage to be kind. To fight for those who can't themselves, To always share my light. With those who wander in the dark, To love with all my might. To still stand up with courage, Though standing on my own. To still get up and face each day, Even when I feel alone. To try to understand the ones That no one cares to know. And make them feel some value When the world has let them go. To be an anchor, strong and true, That person loyal to the end. To be a constant source of hope To my family and my friends. To live a life of decency, To share my heart and soul. To always say I'm sorry When I've harmed both friend and foe. To be proud of whom I've tried to be, And this life I chose to live. To make the most of every day By giving all I have to give. To me that's what this life should be, To me that's what it's for. To take what God has given me And make it so much more To live a life that matters, To be someone of great worth. To love and be loved in return And make my mark on Earth Patricia A. Fleming ☮️kevin

It really doesn't matter! I joke often that my bikepacking cook pot has to be large enough to heat a can of gas station chili. My personal cold out a can favorite is corn nibblets. I love how you helped the men through your wide eyed kindness and honesty, if for a moment to do good for themselves. Watching you climb and hike those passes makes me appreciate my pie-plate rear gears on my dirt road tour set-up. With so much to see in the world, I am with your one and done travel. Look forward to the next episode.

Another fun one! Thanks! One of the tips for keeping the soot/char off the pan is to put a thin layer of soap around the pot. The soot/char will stick to the soap and it will come off much easier. Just don't get carried away, using too much will get into your meal.

I have a Rock Bros. bag with the same metal clips. I ended up duct taping the clip to the strap.

Hey Naomi. As always another great video. I've come to realize we are sharing stomach's! Peanut Butter and Jelly is one if my go to meals ANY time of day. Breakfast is one of my favorite times, simple quick and just the right amount of protein. But any time of day is fine. And..... Chef Boy R dee us another one for when Im lazy at dinnertime or anytime. Right out of the can. Lol. And I'm so happy for Tom, things are coming together for him. Slice of pizza, yum. That campsite at the bottom of the climb would have been real tough for me to go by but the place you picked after the climb was great to. What beautiful country. All in all another wonderful video.. You are about the coolest person ever. Enjoy. And congrats on going over 1000 subscribers. Many more to come I'm sure. 🌹

HOT on the loose, if I were cycling and saw you coming down the trail, I would at the very least have to stop and look. My eyes are always Set on an attractive figure.

Loving all the different elements you bring to your videos. I never know what I'm going to learn. Thank you for making these! They're helping me get through winter!

*pause* my guess is you are going with pb &j. Now to find out....Boom ! Good call ! Safe travels and I have the Trek Powerfly as well. Amazing bike.

I just found your channel and im going to subscribe because I think you're like a lot of people from Montana ......nice....kind and genuine. Im from NY and was in Missoula once and fell in love with it I wish more east costers were like the west coasters Thanks Ps how did tom make out?

Every time you mention the huge mosquitos I can’t help but laugh. I live in Stanley, been here for years and they indeed, are large!

Absolutely beautiful landscape. What month was this filmed?

👊💪👌♥️

Way to go Naomi brightening everyone's day when you meet them 👊and giving little help here and there just what they need to have the motivation for rest of week/months 😊

I laugh out loud to every one of your videos. They are truly special. Thank you!

That climb from Whitefish to Red Meadow is no joke!

Sometimes, your concern for other people gets to me. Thank you.

enjoyment! :)

What a lovely spot. Did you see the meteor shower?

Excellent

The canyon and the desert. A pile of rocks, dust and sand. Sure, it looks nice. And after that? They will still be soaking you for every dime they can squeeze out of you. Florida has the everglades, the keys, Ocala national forest and more, Fort Lauderdale beach, Miami beach and more. If you become employed, think of all the money you could save. There is a cross-Florida bike path (c to c). There is a bike path around lake Okeechobee---second largest fresh water lake in surface area in the US totally inside the boundaries of one state. I wish this condo were larger. I like you. Forget about crime-Mecca AZ. Everybody thinks much the same about car wrecks and crime---It happens to the other person, not me. The thing is this. To everyone else, you are the other person. This neighborhood here is nice. It is not a dumpy neighborhood at all. Did you say you had photos of 9-11 of some acclaim? I have written a manuscript, about 60,000 words, to do with that subject. From all I know, it is the only one of its kind in the world. Last time I checked, I have a publisher in Manhattan, NY. There is quite a bit of revising to do. I need to get re-motivated. Have you seen the rents in Phoenix and Flagstaff? I f you get cheap rent, guaranteed it will be in a low-down, crime ridden area. In nicer safer areas the rents would be astronomical.

Naomi is a shining star. She is a pulsating glittering aura of pure energy. She is a light of the universe. She is trim, strong, athletic, beautiful, and magnetic. If I were cycling along some lonely dusty trail and I were to see Naomi coming along, I would be enamored immediately. I would not be able to keep my mind on what I was doing.
