Easy Way or the Hard Way | Batlow to Tumbarumba 4WD Bikepacking Adventure with Chris and Pat

When choosing a mode of transport to explore the great outdoors, one's faced with the question, to take the easy way or the hard way? Chris and Pat do both, with Chris bikepacking from Batlow to Tumbarumba and Pat driving with a fishing rod and a cracking Snow Peak camp setup in tow. They both meet at Paddys River Dam for a night by the campfire under the stars.

Chris from Toms Outdoors, and Tim from AdVANture ST your content inspired me to get out with my family and explore northern Kosciuszko. Love both your content.

Next thing we know Chris, you will be lining up for Cloudride or the Prologue? Love the Krampus, you can’t go wrong there especially getting it from BRT.

Great little adventure! Could even taste that 🥩 sandwich.

[@TomsOutdoors]

Cheers! The sandwich was the highlight for sure.

[@advanturest]

I wish someone would follow me on my bikepacking trips with a steak sandwich. I’m hungry for meat and bikes now.
Cheers
