    “Why do I look bad?” You are a hoot! This isn’t just a bike channel but a travel one. I think anyone who enjoys exploring the outdoors can find your videos entertaining especially since you don’t filter your experience and tell it like it is. Refreshing!

    HA HA, I was just going through withdrawals waiting for a new video so i went back and started reading all of the comments of your last adventure. Great fun stuff. I am recovering from back surgery so I have a lot of time on my hands. I came across a video of another woman trekking with a heavy bike and no kick stand. So here is what she did. A collapsible walking stick. the stick collapses down to 12 inches or so and is very light. She pulls the stick out to the right length and puts one end on the ground and the handle end fits under your seat and just lean the bike.. The stick works great for your exploring after you get set up at the end of the day. I tried it with my all wheel drive 100 + lb ebike and it works really great. The stick is very light and takes up almost no room. thank you for what you are doing. My back is healing and I can’t wait to get out there again. Thank you again for the great videos. Take care of that knee.

    • @HumanontheLoose
      @HumanontheLoose  2 роки тому

      Hahaha! You crack me up! "Walking stick" what a cool idea! I will definitely be trying this and hopefully others reading your post! Does back surgery require physical therapy or does it just heal and you can start pedaling?

      @royfitzsimmons6226 2 роки тому +1

      @@HumanontheLoose When I saw the walking stick idea I went outside and tried it right away. the sharp end in the ground and the handle up under the seat works great. I would love to see a video of you trying this. My back therapy is walking a lot. for now the doctor said no extreme bending and no lifting of anything over 10 lbs. I do wear a back brace when I am being active. I am driving when I am NOT taking any pain killers. I will know more next week after my appointment. Keep up the great work and TAKE CARE OF THAT KNEE. I use a cream called VOLTAREN for my knee replacements.

    I got one of thoes new seats you're talking about......or should I say...trying to find the right one.
    I rode 103 miles and thought I had found it but told the bike fit guy that it could be just a hair better so he adjusted it.
    Got back on the bike and rode 7 miles in massive pain and numbness everywhere!
    I wanted to throw the facking thing in the weeds!
    Hope your body is enjoying the ride😁

    • @HumanontheLoose
      @HumanontheLoose  2 роки тому

      Interesting. Almost perfect then much worse. As you know every human body is different so until you ride them you don’t know. At least you can scratch this one off your list. Hopefully you purchased it under conditions you could return it.

    First, I have to say that pine cones are assholes! So are hickory nuts. I hate the way they make sounds pretending to be bears and ax murderers!
    I totally agree with you that the scenery and trip looks totally awesome! I've only experienced the hot springs of Steamboat Springs. But, they really take the lactic acid out of your legs when you've been skiing. You have motivated me to get a ride in today! Oh, and that green watch band makes your ensemble! Kick stands are lame! Try putting to big rocks together and putting the back wheel between them. Although, that can be frustrating with a fully loaded bike. Can't wait for some moments of WHEEE! Great vid! Power to the pedal people!

    i use a Nose breathing technique i got from an old buddhist book to send myself to sleep
    breathe in deep thru nose [and out thru nose.....or mouth] x 12, counting, in 1, out, in 2, out, in 3, out, in 4, out, in 5, and so on
    that's it
    the focusing on the counting helps quiet any worried voices inside your mind, and the deep oxygination of the cells tricks the brain into thinking you're doing a marathon and so floods the body with the good drugs
    i use Nose-breathing when exercising in general, and on the bike to help me pedal up hills, and throughout the day too, my cells thank me for feeding them oxygen :)
    i used this ancient nose breathing/counting technique at a cousins funeral too, to stop myself from crying too much, she was young and i was terribly overwhelmed but i did not want to slobber my grief loudly in a quiet church, it was hard but the nose breathing works wonders, it's amazing, mouth breathers are missing out on mother nature's free bounty!

    • @HumanontheLoose
      @HumanontheLoose  2 роки тому

      I have not tried the stick idea as this trip is over. I never edit during a trip as it would change my experience and why I take them. You got me thinking...maybe I'll just try it with my mountain bike on my next ride - unless that's what you meant. My knee seems to get less crunchy as time goes by. Not sure why. Arthritis is arthritis. You had two? In the same knee?

    Healing properties? I've heard that too, but my guess is that you have to practically be there all the time to get any benefits from it, that would be nice too. This looks like a really good and tough ride with equally awesome scenery!
    Leave the kick-stands for the department store bikes, a piece of cloth between the bike and the sap should do the trick. I would be leery of clamp-on kickstands if your frame is carbon fiber. Only a humble opinion. I don't even know if you ended up getting one or not.

      plus I like your "slow-starting" approach to the mornings. My daughter is a rock star bikepacker racer endurance. As I've watched her gps tracker from my home, asked how she goes off so little sleep . Me? 2022 was my first year of solo bikepacking and like you, I go out slowly, often hanging a tent to dry out first.... that and my (former) big blue tarp for ground cover or for extra rain protection. pretty sure I was spotted my a Forest Timber Drone Service one morning as, the trail day before, didn't actually extend but dead-ended so I turned around and camped somewhere out-of-the-way but, on a timber, "land" bah! I left no trace as usual except a matted spot on the ground where my tent was placed. I have since swapped out to a green and brown tarp for the same, less conspicuous. I'd never make it on a bike pack race event.
