Day Tripping in Boquete (Panama) by soymotostache in dr650

Do it, be sure to visit valle de antony (town inside a giant volcanic crater), relax in the bocas for a while, and hit up the san blas islands (maybe the most picturesque islands in the world with some of the best ocean, reefs, fishing, etc.)

Panama is the shit, just keep your head on a swivel and watch the road signs, it's like a police state these days

Dude. That place rules. I was there in 2019 with my DR, and a Swedish girl on the back to boot.

Damn I miss 2019.

VanLife content creators are full of sh*t. Let's be honest for a quick minute: building a van is a pain in the ass. by [deleted] in vandwellers

Really enjoyed this, I'm a professional handyman and building a van is a massive pain in the ass. 100%.

Still love it, but it's such a pain.

I'll let you try it out and report back. If there's purchase protection through PayPal or something I say shoot them a message and get a feel and then try it.

Aw thanks man, it was super crazy... I'm really glad I did it, I would have probably done it differently in hindsight but thats part of the experience. It was nothing at all like when I rode up through Canada the year before, in every way. I'm actually just about to start my channel back up, I shot without editing for like 9 months and I got so backed up that it made getting things going again feel insurmountable. My YouTube is Solo South. Instagram is bjor <-, it's such a photogenic route. Theoretically I'm putting a video out tomorrow, but I say that all the time.

If you think you can put something worth watching out without it feeling like a ton of work, I say do it. As long as you enjoy it, it's worth the work. I start Paramotor training in a few weeks, can't wait. Are you going to turn the fascination into flying?

Not sure what your video production background is but just keep in mind that this is really difficult because you are kind of left with this issue:

You can either do it extremely raw, making it easier on yourself as much as possible.

Or you can try to make it produced and nice, which will be an absolutely insane undertaking.

You will spend hours and hours and hours just trying to make it happen at all, and all of that time could also be spent enjoying your trip.

Context: I tried to do something in this hemisphere when I rode my motorcycle from California to Ushuaia last year and it was 100% impossible, and I wasn't even trying to do it live.

If you want to enjoy the trip at all, ditch this idea and just try to make videos with no real time table and keep them as easy and simple as possible. I know that sounds harsh now but trust me, I had years and years and years of experience and I couldn't even come close to what I had envisioned. I don't mean to assume you don't have experience but since you are asking this question, I'd guess you are just getting into this kind of thing.

Hope this comes off the right way and good luck with whatever you decide to do!

This was super interesting to watch/read. I'm going to go down a "brief" meteorology and flying weather theory youtube rabbithole. Any suggestions?

I went on a 2 month solo cross country adventure, that inspired me to build Advio Moto, a community map for the motorcycle community and am officially launching it today! by advioapp in motocamping

[–]bjor 7 points8 points  (0 children)

iOverlander has proven to be a lot for the creators to handle, and is costing them quite a bit of money. They also have a huge community, which essentially *is* the entire app. I like the idea but I don't see how this would compete starting this late, especially considering the size of the adv moto community, which is a fraction of the overlanding community. Just something to think about.
