At my 20, 10 years ago, I rode my bicycle from Nanjing to Beijing, 1,100km. It is not even close to a month of your 3 year world tour. You are a really brave and great person, and are such a great inspiration for many of us. Good luck to all of the rest of your journey. Hoping could meet you in person some day. And, Happy Chinese New Year!
Again, Thank you!! I'm not going on a unicycle, going on a bicycle, trying to figure out what little I can take. Attempted a bicycle tour, but was carrying why to much stuff. Suggestion for anyone reading this, start with the least needed. And if you find you need something else you can always buy it on tour.
I went travelling around the world for three years in 1981-1984 doing much the same route, except hitchhiking. I had all my gear weighing about 25kg on my back. I used to get tents/sleeping bags/rucksacks etc given to me by manufacturers in exchange for photos of their kit 'in action'. Singapore was the place for camera gear. Up until reaching Singapore I had to make do with a Russian made Zenit I picked up in Moscow held together with string.
@Bablu Mandal More often than not there are no hotels/pensions/guest houses.More often than not we slept with the families of truck drivers, with villagers, sometimes with aid workers, sometimes even police outposts. It was a question of where we were and who picked us up. We also had a small tent, sometimes overnighted on trains, or buses. In Delhi and Kashmir for example we were able to pitch our tent in refugee camps for free. No I have no team, or guide book. Just a map. Travel alone yes. Nowadays I kinda like my white linen and holidays in Maui (surfing).
I order the camping stove you use on the glowing endorsement that it made it around the world and the fact that it can use any fuel. Seems like a very versatile piece of kit.
You are definitely the only youtuber that I click the like button even before the video loads. I wonder how you sqweeze your laptop into the bag thought 😊. One question for you Ed. What do you think about while cycling/camping? You get a lot of time to your self probably more than anyone else around.
Ed this is one of my favourite videos yet. I’ve been following your videos since “Ed Unicycles China”and have been back and watched most of the ones prior to that. It’s great to see this kind of behind the scenes of how you’re complaining your adventure. Keep up the great work mate and stay safe.
78.5k subs. Congrats Ed. You channel is blowing up and getting real momentum. I have watched everything you have made and loved every second. Congrats again.
On a unicycle around the world. I think it's cool. And pretty of course. I always went as a black pete (a helper of Sinterklaas) here in the Netherlands on a unicycle cycled around.
Get a small plastic spray bottle fill it with bug juice for mosquitoes n horse flies and other annoying little buggers. Try collapsible hydration bladders for water storage. Platypus makes them in various sizes. You can roll them up like ziplock bags when not in use. Approach more gear companies for sponsorship like Alpkit in the UK. For your taint try a shammy cover for your saddle. Happy travels!
What a logistical challenge, carrying everything to survive, repair, and record the journey. Everything has to be light and minimize bulk. Good primer for everyone from the casual bike camper to the international traveler.
Gotta say- I still miss seeing the little green monster bag u used to have! It gave ur unicycle such character- although so does the dino! Thanks for showing us ur gear!
I actually met him in person as he was working on his bike in the hallway of my apt complex..I said hello and we chatted as well he pumped my tires of my bike.Awesome personality and extremely polite.Usual British kindness..Have a safe journey back home and may God keep you in his arms and fend off any evil.
Ive been wondering about the "sky-shots". Are you using a drone? Really loving this series btw, ive been watching a few episodes every other day for the past weeks. Really good motivation, been wanting to go on a bike trip for a while now.
I'm from south America and pretty much know how things work in many of those country... plus the media coverage doesn't help Brazil... it's a sad fact...
thanks Ed like all efforts that have a "professional look" there are alot of bits, pieces & learning. Its an amazing & inspiring journey. In an age where the public is fed complete shite (daily) from many dodgy sources, first hand video has never been more valuable. The resounding message(i get from your blogs) is that people throughout the world have never been more giving, loving, helpful & encouraging, so where is all the hate (as shown by media) coming from??? A young man with the world ahead of him.
Dear brother may almighty bless you good health and you are seriously amazing you’re the very good impression for me. Keep going make you dream come through.
...cool ideas here. I actually met a unicyclist on his way around the world from the bottom of South America. He'd reached Cusco...I was just cycling around S America but mostly bussing it...
This is awesome, Ed. Had watched another video yours and came across this one. Great info and video. Thank you for sharing it. Best wishes on your journey.
Hey Ed, I'm been catching up on your older videos. I've not seen you mention it when your handle bars change. I noticed that they have changed again and now join at the top. Can you tell us the reasons behind it? I'm sure it is interesting to others too.
That's an amazing amount of gear. Does the weight actually help with balance? And do you have to pay a lot of attention to getting the front and back weight evenly distributed?
I was going to say you really are an inspiration but i saw like the first 3 comments said that lol. I was wondering how much this tour cost you and how you made that money or is it just a sponsor or something?
Thanks for making this. Im planning a cycling tour and always wondered what you carried, because you dont have a lot of space. Definetly going to be referering to this for help because i dont want to have a ton of excess items. safe travels
Put some water and small stones in your pot, before the hardening, and in a couple of miles your pot will be cleaned. (Water will always dissolve or take into solution any food other than bone)
Ed, if you had touched India too 😔!! Anyways, you're doing a GREAT JOB for the kids 😄😄. Always so excited to see you on your Unicycle and travel with you 😊😊
I didn't want to hurt your feelings on your last video with the Hawk. Because you were so happy about the shot. But he was thinking "I've never seen a Unicycle before but they must come in pairs and right when I've found a good meal." :-) Hope to see you in the States. Safe travels.
Since you are from the UK, it would be cool for you to pedal across the old London bridge imported and reassembled in Lake Havasu, it's along your approximate path. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Bridge_(Lake_Havasu_City)
video is missing wearable rear view mirror you wore later, which is quite handy on a unicycle. I don't know if it is possible to add to this video in some manner but it would be good.
The super glue is great for quickly sealing puncture wounds or cuts. I prefer the Gorilla Glue gel as it stings less and is easier to apply. Super glue is used by hospitals and medics in the US military.
I must say I'm perplexed why you chose white as the color of your cycling jersey - especially knowing how it would be worn every day in the elements. Seems like an earthen color would have been a much better choice. Totally trivial, but I thought I'd mention it.

2 pairs of boxers to travel the world while I carry 6 on a weekend camping trip...I think I'm doing it wrong! Haha
"It got a bit blown over on a sand dune in china" how many people get to say that! Bravo man! Keep going! You are a bright light in this world!
I never new that there was sand there hahah
@@dwaynehiggs9547 It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.
@@dwaynehiggs9547 China has a huge desertification problem.
Not unless you're a Chinese/Mongolian Herder in the middle of the Gobi desert.
@@nulnoh219 Sure. That's why there's huge programs to stop and reverse it. Because it's not a problem. lol

I love how ed doesn’t need flashy brand name gear to get the job done! Ed is an inspiration.
Edit: what assholes would thumbs down Ed’s video ??!
Also Ed is doing this from his heart
I order the camping stove you use on the glowing endorsement that it made it around the world and the fact that it can use any fuel. Seems like a very versatile piece of kit.
Thanks for the video! I am a bicycle traveler currently in Sivas, Turkey heading east on my around the world ride...
good luck man...
The satisfying pop sound the insta360 camera makes as Ed pulls it from it's sheath.

What do you think about while cycling/camping? You get a lot of time to your self probably more than anyone else around.
I'm still waiting for his reply :(
Same :(
Still
This youtuber is so special for you mr pavol. Unfortunately he doesnt care about you alor your comment haha
Waiting..

I saw you in South Carolina around the cross keys area last weekend!! Your awesome dude 👍
You are a really tuff guy and a wonderful human being. I wish all your desires to come true.
hey ed, try putting the sleeping bag in a clothes dryer with a tennis ball. it helps to re-loft the down.
Gotta say- I still miss seeing the little green monster bag u used to have! It gave ur unicycle such character- although so does the dino! Thanks for showing us ur gear!

Way to go buddy good for you to do something that you like keep it up you rock
clearly quite a bit of thought and work goes into your journey! Thanks for sharing!
You're an inspiration to this 68 year old young fellow- pedal on!
Ive been wondering about the "sky-shots". Are you using a drone?
Really loving this series btw, ive been watching a few episodes every other day for the past weeks. Really good motivation, been wanting to go on a bike trip for a while now.
Travel the world on a unicycle, and I thought bicycle riders were crazy! Haha
Always love watching and admiring your journey!
ed you are the man !! always was curious to see your set up in detail. always great
I would like to have your courage. You are an inspiration. I hope one day you come to Brazil :)
Juliana Seixas if he goes to Brazil he's going to end up dead..
Well... Maybe, sadly. But depends where he goes.
I'm from south America and pretty much know how things work in many of those country... plus the media coverage doesn't help Brazil... it's a sad fact...
google for Gurkan Genc. He's a turkish guy and he's been travelling the world for the last 10 years with his bike.
Lots of experience shared in this video. Thank you!
I give thumb up before watching it
Amazing man! Kudos to your hard work. Keep smiling. You are the best.
Top Knolling Ed! That's a very satisfying layout to look at :)
Tom the Cyclist OCD? I agree
Been waiting for a while to get a breakdown of your gear. Bravo!
How did you charge the batteries while on the road - solar, dynamo?
Thanks for sharing! Safe travels.
I stop anything I'm doing to watch what you have posted!
also as an American I think the way you say garage sounds funny haha! cheers!
Wow, lotsa gear. Well thought out.
It was an amazing experience to actually see you on the road. You have done the impossible.
Considering he's doing it I think you meant to say the "improbable"
Now for the rundown on the unicycle itself.
thanks Ed like all efforts that have a "professional look" there are alot of bits, pieces & learning. Its an amazing & inspiring journey.

Dear brother may almighty bless you good health and you are seriously amazing you’re the very good impression for me. Keep going make you dream come through.
Every video is inspiring.
"dropped it a few times, seems solid" Looks like you used to to defeat the germans in ww2 and as a landing gear for the landing on the moon
improvement in cinematography !!!! well done
...cool ideas here. I actually met a unicyclist on his way around the world from the bottom of South America. He'd reached Cusco...I was just cycling around S America but mostly bussing it...
Thanks Ed!!!!
This is awesome, Ed. Had watched another video yours and came across this one. Great info and video. Thank you for sharing it. Best wishes on your journey.
I ran into your video by accident now i am hooked...keep up the good work.
Hey Ed, I'm been catching up on your older videos. I've not seen you mention it when your handle bars change. I noticed that they have changed again and now join at the top. Can you tell us the reasons behind it? I'm sure it is interesting to others too.
Great to get to know your kit Ed. You're an inspiration. Cheers from Brazil
Thats alot of stuff to carry on a unicycle
That's an amazing amount of gear. Does the weight actually help with balance? And do you have to pay a lot of attention to getting the front and back weight evenly distributed?
Ed, you and your adventures are incredible!!
Serious gear bro! Cheers!
Bloody amazing mate! Total respect.

Great video Ed, keep up the great work.
Subscribe to this block, because I believe he deserves more of us.
You can take the cardboard out of the middle of the tapes to save a bit of weight and space
Cardboard is not that heavy to carry, if it was metal then that would be a whole different matter.
Awesome stuff as always Ed! 👍
Ed, if you had touched India too 😔!! Anyways, you're doing a GREAT JOB for the kids 😄😄. Always so excited to see you on your Unicycle and travel with you 😊😊
That was really cool. I looked back to you website trying to find what you had lost over time 😂
I didn't want to hurt your feelings on your last video with the Hawk. Because you were so happy about the shot. But he was thinking "I've never seen a Unicycle before but they must come in pairs and right when I've found a good meal." :-) Hope to see you in the States. Safe travels.
Where you fit the drone ? 😂 awesome stuff man!
Loved this video. Great packing at the end too!
Good job and good luck Ed!
Well done Ed - good stuff!
Since you are from the UK, it would be cool for you to pedal across the old London bridge imported and reassembled in Lake Havasu, it's along your approximate path.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Bridge_(Lake_Havasu_City)
Just me that wonders how he can fit all that on a unicycle?
And it has to be balanced
You're an inspiration Ed.
So much gear, but when it’s all packed away looks like you have hardly anything 😂
Thanks for inspiring!
you are the inspiration
Great vid Ed and nice one with all the affiliate links in the description, dead handy and hopefully help you with some funds!
Another great video,Thanks!
Good selection Ed. Best wishes from Berlin.
you finished Asian part of the trip just in time mate
Very useful video, I even made a screenshot;D
Ed, you're doing incredibly cool stuff!
hey ed,can you make a video showing how you fit all this on your unicycle?
fantastic .... the great moments....
I have just looked at your website and have seen that u r in America can’t wait for the next video 😄
Nice vídeo Ed! I always have curiosity about your gear.
That’s nuts!
yyooooo love your vids man. but where is your secret drone that you use for all your sweet elevated shots?!
Dam this man is just so down to earth
Awesome Ed!
video is missing wearable rear view mirror you wore later, which is quite handy on a unicycle. I don't know if it is possible to add to this video in some manner but it would be good.
The super glue is great for quickly sealing puncture wounds or cuts. I prefer the Gorilla Glue gel as it stings less and is easier to apply. Super glue is used by hospitals and medics in the US military.
Big props.
Nice channel 😀 How do you charge your gear (phone, camera etc) when you are traveling?
A very pleasing layout :)
Great stuff mate.
btw, have you missed to mention the drone? :)
I didn’t own one then :)
If you're still reading these comments, how many tyres have you gone through? (came up in discussion on the unicyclist forums)
Love this VIDEO. Great style, interesting and you seem like a good egg.
I must say I'm perplexed why you chose white as the color of your cycling jersey - especially knowing how it would be worn every day in the elements. Seems like an earthen color would have been a much better choice. Totally trivial, but I thought I'd mention it.
Keep going Ed.. best of luck. Please try to visit India brother.
and here i am sitting at home trying to figure out how to manage working today...
Fascinating!
