Every time I ride, when camp is pitched and stories are told around the fire, you always come up in the conversation Stobe! You will live on in legend, spoken over the flames of respite, on adventures most of the world will never understand. Thanks for being you.

Discovered your channel from a Gamer From Mars video. The content you made was an echo of what feels like a previous age of YouTube. Raw and authentic. I wish I had known about you earlier Stobie. Hope you’re doing well wherever we end up when we die.

I really intoned your vidoes and thank you for your service, keep the cold for we will drink a few. RIP

I discovered Strobie after his death. I get a lot of enjoyment watching his travels. He had. a unique way to tell a story. He was obviously very intelligent. God Speed..

RIP Stobe - loved your videos and perspective. Enjoy the westbound ride!

Thank you for these amazing videos that we still are enjoying! RIP Stobe.

Thanks for everything, Stobe. The smallest things can change lives and your videos have certainly changed mine.

Thank you for your art work/videos. Watching your videos helped me through difficult times of depression after loosing a loved one. I still watch your videos today and miss you. God bless you and your family. Such a talent. Semper Paratus my Coast Guard brother.

I still watch your videos every single day. Never felt like I've known someone more personally than I have you Jim!
