Overland motorcycle journey through South, Central and North America, Chile to Canada

There's certainly some interesting methods of living that goes along with the overlanding lifestyle. Funny though, nobody ever asks such questions like 'just how do you wash?'. In the US especially its expensive, like ridiculously expensive - we are looking at 100USD a night for a perfectly lovely little shithole of a motel. Most of us overlanding for a reasonable amount of time simply cannot afford this. So, apart from the odd gem of a hostel (Lazy Lizard in Moab, Utah) and awesome cabin stay (Pole Creek BnB in Pinedale, Wyoming), we are wild camping 90% of the time.

I dogged it to 3200m with it cutting out (it couldn't breathe!) as im clutching it in first until I decided it was just too ...
