I am a film maker based in Hobart, Tasmania, a wee little island sometimes left off maps of Australia. Danielle and I love to combine travel, movement, nature, stories, and surprises, and started bikepacking in 2017 after looking for a new “travel sport” to replace rock climbing. I started making films of our bikepacking adventures in 2018 after finding a GoPro washed up on our local beach, and I've been hooked ever since.
TRAILER - Riding High: Bikepacking Peru
Riding High showcases our 4 weeks in Peru's Cordilleras Blanca and Huayhuash. We rode over multiple 4,000m passes - some over 4,800m ASL. We passed snow-capped peaks and stunning lakes and pitched our tent at some of the most stunning campsites where we have been fortunate enough to sleep.
The full film will be released in late September 2024.

Solo winter bikepacking in Tasmania
Переглядів 3,3 тис.3 місяці тому
Tasmania's Central Highlands are a stunning place to ride in the winter. 'Taking the Slow Track' is a short film shot on an overnight ride where there was little chance of seeing another person. It gave me a chance to slow down, ride, film, camp by a frozen lake and do some chilly hike-a-bike over a frozen water way. It was also a chance for me to test my gear for a longer upcoming trip to Peru...

The Annapurna Circuit
Переглядів 158 тис.Рік тому
In October 2022, we set out from Pokhara to bikepack the 386km Annapurna Circuit in Nepal. We followed the track that runs parallel to the hiking trail, hoping to cross over Thorong La pass. A late-season weather event delivered days of snow and rain, washed away roads and damaged communications. So despite all our preparation, things didn't quite go to plan... Enjoy 'Annapurna: Not as planned'...

A Pinch of Type 2: Bikepacking the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route
How’d the brakes go? 😮
Stopped once to let them cool. But the descent was fairly gentle.
woowww, superb documentary .. made my night 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks heaps.
Simply stunning video
Many thanks!
Would love to know your tyre set up mate 👍 👍
On that trip I used Surly Knards (27.5 x 3.0). If I rode the route again, 2.6 or 2.8’s would be fine. I wasn’t sure how much sand I would encounter, hence going with the 3.0. They also helped a lot in the wet conditions.
Wow like waiting for a major movie release😅 looks exciting 😊
Well documented .. thwnk you for riding on those beautiful mountain .. this must be the best riden memories nfor you
Glad you enjoyed it
that's superb I really do appreciate ....
Oh my, i couldn't work that hard 😮 thank for doing it for us 🤠
Ha! It was tough for the first week at altitude. Thanks for watching.
@@MickTurnbullFilms what is the altitudes there
@FiftiesForward we only went below 3000m for a couple of nights in the 4 weeks. Highest pass was just over 4,800m. Highest camp was 4,650m.
Can’t wait! Looks likely it’ll be a banger!
The full film will be out at the end of September. Come back then to check it out.
Can't wait
What's the music in trailer? It's great
It’s called ‘Apollo Landing’ from PremiumBeat. Artist is Taizo Audio.
What a great trip, the images are amazing. I have a 10-12 day trip planned in May 2025 from Green River, Utah to Sedona, Arizona, I am Spanish and I need help to know if there is anything that I have to consider in this trip, or any advice you could give me. My idea is to sleep in intermediate places to save on camping stufs. I would greatly appreciate your help.
Thanks heaps. Water is always the biggest concern when we were in Utah. I guess carrying capacity and spare is my biggest piece of advice. Enjoy the trip - such amazing country.
Your camera work is so professional and what a nice ride with the ranges and the red sky .
Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for sharing. Brings back memories of my trip to Tassie earlier this year, mostly road cycling but this off-road looked fantastic. Boy it looked cold, especially the water crossing in bare feet AND you had go back and get the camera. Very nice film.
Glad you enjoyed it. Yeah, bit fresh, but such a stunning place to ride.
Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
excellent video, than you!
Lovely. Utah delivers a spanking every time.
Ha! So true, but worth it.
Great video! Beautiful.
Thankyou for taking the effort respecting your bike and drivetrain by not submerging your bike walking it through water crossings. Seen it way too often in other bike packing videos.
Awesome video Mick - so many great shots. Those night shots of the stars were just stunning. Derek in Ottawa.
Many thanks!
This loop looks fantastic. How long did it take you?
Took about 3 weeks of riding. We caught a bus twice to save us time. Really varied loop.
Cold in austrailia mtfs😱
Incredible
Really good stuff - love the editing and the shots! Can I ask what equipment you're using to film and photograph? Particularly love the night time laps and photos.
Thanks. I use a Panasonic GH5 (not normally an astro camera) and a Leica 10-25mm f1.7 lens. I also have a 50-200mm f2.8-4.0 lens that I use for birds etc. Hope this helps.
@@MickTurnbullFilms brilliant! Thank you for the quick reply. I'm getting into some bike packing and trying to decide what gear to take with me... I have go pros, a few drones and for my nicer camera a Sony A7iii with a few lenses. Although I'd like to think my gopros and iPhone can capture what I need with much less bulk and weight, I think the nicer cameras are probably necessary?
I carry my camera on my back to reduce the vibrations. I've never had any issues doing it this way. I use a Mindshift Photocross 10 as it allows me to keep the bag on my back whilst I acccess the camera. Good luck with it.
Great vid, brillz editing/production. Bought a new subscriber with this. Cheers
Awesome, thank you!
I've been watching UA-cam edits/films/clips/nonsense for years and never have I before felt the need to subscribe to a channel. But I subscribed after watching this. Also, I've been thinking about selling my bikepacking bike. Not any more. I'm inspired to plan another trip and get out there, maybe filming it this time. Thank you.
So good to hear. Hope you get out on some rad trips. Cheers
How are you protecting the camera from vibrations? In the backpack?
I carry the camera in a mindshift photocross 10. Been using it for years and never had any issues with the camera.
Looks a bit chilly! Thanks for another great video 😍
Always a pleasure...and the remarkable thing is that after crossing that frozen water barefoot, you had to go back and get the camera!!
Great video, nice work Mick
Thanks 👍
Another beautiful video. Thank you
Hey Mick, I'll really admire your production quality. I use a point and shoot, drone + go pro right now, but I'm looking to upgrade. Can you tell me what camera and lens you use?
Thanks heaps. For this film, I used my Panasonic GH5 and the Leica 10-25mm f1.7. Really like it, but it's a bit bigger than most people carry.
How many days food can you carry max and water on this setup
On this setup - bout 3 days. But with the Ortlieb Fork Bags, I can carry 5 days food and unto 10 litres of water.
Shake down ride always good ps camera skills are great
Very pleasing to the senses. Another fabulous film.
Lovely production
Much appreciated
Some lovely moments in there Mick. Always love seeing your work on here. Happy travels :)
Many thanks!
Beautiful as usual Mick. You make me want to move to Tassie. Enjoy your overseas trip 👍
Cheers - it's a cool little part of the world.
Excellent!
Geeeeeez you’re harder man than me. My feet hurt watching - love your stuff Mick! Beauty vid.
Thanks heaps.
Nice, I just picked up a Rode videomic pro, gotta play around with it a bit. Cheers mate!
Nice one!
What do you use for a mic while out on a ride?
I use a Rode Video Mic NTG - a bit big but captures the sounds I want.
Frozen lake and shorts, got to be an Aussie, great camera work.
Ha! Thanks.
Nice one! Geez, that morning looked a bit fresh. Too cold for me mate.
It was! Needed a warmer mat than I had. Thanks for watching.
Nice work Mick! As always your audio really enriches the clips. Great edit, beautiful scenery! Heck of an icy water crossing!
Glad you enjoyed it. Yeah, the icy water was a bit unexpected!
amazing video!
Mick, you re an animal walking through that icy creek barefooted! Great star footage as well. Cheers mate!
Thanks 👍
Those stars looked incredible. Whole trip would have been worth it just to see that beautiful sky.
Love your work Mick! Great scenery, bike and especially your editing. Well done.
Awesome! Thank you!
Well done! I love your adventures, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
