I can't tell you how wonderful it is to see you in action again, and ready for new adventures on the road! What an impressive equipment you've got, got myself some good tips from your video as well! :-D Keep it up and be safe on the road once you're out there again!!! Can't wait to start following you again! Greets from Denmark!
Dam a lot of A gear am a gear head too and i spare no expense when i am buying gear ... but looking at your setup ... you could easy cut the gear weight and space down .. where you wouldn't even need a trailer .... just a thought but great video ... i am looking into your style of riding and you got the best info on line... thank you if you get time have a look at my gear riding a fat bike carbon
I have just subscribed... the video is great! i am working on some videos i need to finish quick... so i will wait till i have time to digest this one and the 45 minute one you were talking about in the beginning.
Lose that 45 min video ... my logic board failed, 18 hours later still hadn't processed the video so format my hard drive before sending to the apple store .. it wouldnt even back up took over 3 hours to transfer 200 megs ... would have took 4 years to transfer all my data.. but look at my gear list from 2015
Drill holes in the handles of the wrenches to lighten them up. Consider taking some powdered Gatoraid packets, it's is for those times when you get diarrhea and need to replace electrolytes.
Matt You might want to look at this website and the clothing they sell. I can vouch for them -- I took a handgun course this last january. It was 20 some degrees with wind. I had to be outside all day. I wore a long sleeved shirt from Gatorskins and a light Goretex coat over it and I was warm all day. Amazing and the stuff is incredibly light. Hope this works for you; www.gatorskinsusa.com/ Looking forward to following you when you are back on the road!
Having such a trip for yourself is nice, but being willing to share it with us is simply amazing! So much extra weight just for this purpose... Saying a simple 'Thank you!' almost doesn't feel right...
One thing I have noticed that you should have, that you do not have, is some type of solar panels, to which you could be using as you go by having it on the canopy of your trike... You are spending a lot of time on the road, and carrying way too much junk along with you, and not one energy conserving, or eco minded piece of equipment.. You should be setting some type of example, or just in some small way show that you care about the ecological aspect of your journey as well...! I am not telling what to do but you might just want to think about it a little...! I mean it is a global thing your doing, and what is more global than today's ecology, you know what I mean...!
+Zachary Mohrmann well.. i have 2 wheels that are powering hub dynamos that convert my own human pedal power to electricity to a battery that in turn charges my gear. I think you could not get much more eco friendly than that. Quite literally human power. I enjoy my videos, that is my passion, so in turn my gear reflects that passion. unfortunately that passion is not very eco friendly. I considered the solar panel idea, but never was able to get my hands on one to try...
+the JaYoe Nation, OH I understand whole heartedly Matt, but if you think about the average lay person is not going to understand that your bike is charging any thing, I knew you had a hub charger, or dynamo, But I was just thinking that if people who are seeing, or will be seeing in some 3rd world countries who are not as tech savvy, as you, or I, would not understand these things, but I guess you could say would they give a dam either... It was just a thought is all, I was not intending on breaking stones, or anything buddy, it was just I had happen to stumble on the video while checking out some other things on youtube, and I never really have seen that particular video, and as I was watching, I realised that you were carrying an abundant number of battery packs, and just thought it a good idea is all...! Well anyway glad to hear you guys are back on the road, be careful , and be safe, and just Ja Yoe...!
+Zachary Mohrmann no problem Zach... its a good ooint. acutally i get that question a lot on the road.... "electric?" they will ask... and i will try to explain the hub dynamo... haha...

interesting.. they actually look a bit heavy weight. That would be a good sponsor to have actually.
The products are super light -- as light as paper. The long sleeve top is less than 3 ounces!!!

+jobytoss :) i never looked at it this way... but thank you for saying it. I hope i can share some amazing things with all of you.
way too go

I am upset about your choice of using any Nike junk, slave labor outlaws and anti American
