    Holy Molly, I recognised the stone at 1:29 I checked my pictures for confirmation. I camped there exactly on the 23.08.2023 it was the most astonishing place. Thank you for the nice throwback

      That’s funny 😄 I’m not that surprised as there weren’t many obvious spots to camp on the steep hill sides of the lake. Great spot 😄

    Another great video. This to me is the perfect encapsulation of how I feel out in nature on two wheels. It's special, much more than it is grandiose. I think I'm not alone in appreciating how you seem to cherish the little and the sensible. I hope you one day happen to want to make and document a trip to Jæren and Rogaland, as to my knowledge, no one else really has. It's my home and a truly special place to explore trails. Whenever I'm in the hills, the phrase "terra lunaire" repeats itself in my mind. Jæren is not covered by Boreal forest, making it feel very different from the east. The climate feels Danish.
    I also want to thank you for your beautiful work in reminding us all that the colder and wet months aren't just the time in which we wait for the warmer and green months. My manager, and good friend, astutely said that "You can't have this thing you love so much, which you can only do for half the year". Indeed. Even then, autumn and winter isn't an obstacle and something we must simply push through; it is beautiful in its own way. Your photographs prove it. The air is special in the autumn. The colours are irreplicable, and the lower sun creates an incredible and abstract expression in the landscape. Wind, while it slows you down, is still very special. I agree with what you said. It's almost not possible to dig a hole and wallow in anxiety when the wind is going right through you. I wish I could put into words that feeling cycling gives us, where something which shouldn't be fun, which sounds antithetical to pleasure, somehow creates a deep feeling of satisfaction and serenity.
    All the best, and thank you for continuing to make truly unique videos that resonate so well with how I, and many others, feel.

I have ridden more or less the exact same trip route and still had two completely unique experiences. I guess that’s what’s so nice about being in the outdoors. There’s always something new 😊

      Happy to hear you liked it! 😊🙏🏻 I’m still working with nature sound recording, but mainly with drop rigs to get animal soundscape recordings that I’m using when I give public speeches. I have decided not to make any more nature sound recording videos for the moment as I can’t justify the time spent working on the movies as the time is better spent working on public speaking and other nature sound related projects.

    Beautiful film 🙂 Doesn't matter that much what you use for filming. Most people watch it on their phone anyway. And cellphones have come a long way with quite acceptable quality on both photos and video. Nice to see images from Denmark. I passed along parts of that route in 2022. Followed the westcoast to the north from just north of Esbjerg all the way up to Grenen. It was more beautiful then I would have guessed 🙂

    • @BackwoodsBikepacking
      @BackwoodsBikepacking  2 місяці тому +1

      I agree it doesn’t matter too much in a cell phone, and maybe especially for me as I don’t tend to spend as much energy on “massaging” the video footage as I do with photos. It’s not broadcast television what I am doing 😄 The west coast really has a special vibe to it. I have a video in the pipeline from this summer when we rode an elongated loop from Hirtshals and down to Agger and back along the coast, but we still haven’t been all the way down to Esbjerg. Good to have something to look forward to 😄

    • @BackwoodsBikepacking
      @BackwoodsBikepacking  2 місяці тому

      Thanks for the tip. I must admit I hadn’t heard about the Blackmagic camera app, but it sounds like the app to use on the iPhone. I usually film with mye Fujifilm XT-3 with an ND-filter to control the shutter speed and depth of field, so I’m not sure I’m going to use the iPhone in the future, but if I am, I think your suggestion could be a good idea to have more control over the exposure. Thanks again! 😊

    • @BackwoodsBikepacking
      @BackwoodsBikepacking  2 місяці тому

      Those are indeed Carhartt overalls. My better half are riding in a pair of Lundhags boots. I can’t recall the name, but they have unfortunately stopped making them. I’m wearing a pair of Duckfeet Faaborg. I totally love those boots, but after 7-8 years of use, the natural rubber sole unfortunately have become pretty sticky, so I have had to retire them. Wish I had a new pair, though 😄 Good bikepacking boots are super hard to find, I think. If I can’t get my hands (feet) on a new pair of Duckfeet, I think the nearest alternative is a pair of Redwing Moc toes.

      Ha-ha, I glad you’d like to view the video in higher resolution. 4K resolution video is expensive to shoot compared to HD as everything has to be scaled up, in particular memory cards and hard drive storage. The workflow is also a bit slower, so for an amateur like me, it doesn’t really make sense to shoot in 4K as most people watch this stuff on a phone anyway. But who knows, maybe I’ll jump on the 4K wagon sometime in the future 😄👍

      To be clear, I’m not talking about fishermen driving down to their boats in the harbor, they obviously have a good reason to drive to the beach, but I can see no good reason to permit leisure driving along the beach. It ruins the kind of peace and quiet you can’t find anywhere else in a land like Denmark.
