    Another well done and thought out video. Mosquitos are a hazard every where. Never look forward to the bug season. Thanks for the video and take care, Al

    Mike I was so pleased to discover you had joined Ryan on a trip. Found both of your channels during the pandemic. These travel videos were so calming during those days and I enjoyed the travel log. Heading to Scandinavia next year for a bucket list trip. Your how to and what to do videos are very helpful.
    keep rolling and try Canada for a trip with Ryan John &Mira. Bikeapolooza

    I like a citronella candle. I set up the tent and set the candle, not lit! In the tent. It keeps the bugs out just being there.

    I'm absolutely amazed at how much stuff you can pack in these small looking bags. Love watching these types of videos! Thanks for sharing and for the outtakes! 🤣

    Perfekt cykel för långturer i blandad terräng. Tog en 200 mils tur på min i somras upp till Funäsdalen och hem igen på grusvägar och stigar.

    Excellent! I can't believe how many items you can pack in relatively small compartments. Thanks for sharing :)

    Great info, and for the mosquitoes I also use Tiger balm, and this is also good to cure cramps, it is also good deodorant, I always carry a little box in my handlebar bag.

    Great video!
    Would love to see an in depth review of the Kona Unit X!
    Thinking of replacing my full suspension bike with a unit x :)

      It's a great bike man, I have a Ripley, Chameleon and a Unit X. I use the uni 60% of my rides. A commuter and a back up trail bike. It's heavy and solid. Paradoxically it's quite fast. If you can't get a ustome boutique thing the Unit is the one to get.

    I used to live just outside Chicago Illinois in USA had to give up bicycle riding had two bikes stolen at gun point and one out of the garage. Sweden sounds like a great place to live. Luckily was able to move out of Illinois away from high crime and the constant sound of gun fire so far my bicycle hasn't been stolen. Good luck in your adventures

    Hi Mike - I also have a Unit X and I am currently outfitting it for some fall trips. This video was extremely helpful and provided me with some great ideas, thank you. Can you tell me what size you went with for the frame bag? I see options of 4 or 6L.

    • @hammertime7740
      @hammertime7740 Рік тому

      the 6L ortlieb fits tight on the. He probably and Xl gur and can fit the water bottle.

    My guess for why the thermacell sometimes doesn't work, is even a slight breeze might blow away the "fumes".
    Great video, Mikkel 👍
    I'm from Denmark but a new subscriber because of Ryan. I'm definitely coming to bikepack in Sweden at some point 😁

    • @BikeTouringMike

      Welcome to the channel! You're probably right about the wind. It takes just the right amount of wind to get them to disappear, if there's to much wind it won't work as good.

    Where did you buy the Unit X? I can't find it anywhere in stock in sweden

    Thermacell is really bad for aquatic life (i think they are banned in Finland even) - but they are effective.

    OMG! Do you need a bike lock in Sweden? Sweden almost looks like Rio de Janeiro or Mexico City! I'm kidding 🔒🔒🔒
