This is the best "gear review" video I have seen.
And it's the only one I have learned anything from.
( I'm not entirely new to this )
Thank you, very happy to hear it was informative
Ummmm. that was incredibly helpful. I watch a ton of these videos and despite your dry presentation style, your knowledge and informative title placards are great!
Dry as gin purchased in North Dakota.
Awesome video, thank you for sharing what you take with you on your trips, this is a great help for those trying to figure it out. The one item that you have that really seems so unique was the Click stand - such a clever and compact solution ... Enjoy and love your videos!
Probably the best piece of gear I own. Highly recommend.
Love your videos, it was a joy riding with you.
Oh yeah, great to hear from you. I hope the rest of your trip went well.
Definitely have the creature comforts down. Just never know what to expect. I'll be book marking this tab for future reference.
Thanks @michaellane1316
That was spot on👌🏻great seeing how others travel 🧳 on the same trail.
Thanks! 👍
I appreciate the camera work, easy to follow.
Awesome, thank you!
Excellent excellent run down of gear. Thanks for taking the time to put that together!
My pleasure!
Very good gear list video really enjoy watching other people setups videos
Glad I subscribed to your channel, you have some great vids as well @Bikepacking
Great video. I loved the stem spacer as it is usually a pain point.
Such a clever product by #Rockgeist
Right on looks a very well thought out set up! I learned a few new things thank you and I'm wishing you a blast on your GDMBR trip!
Thanks @randallgd
Best video what shirt is that?
Ps tip keep the garmin in in reach on you not on the bike i came off on a trail ie Ho Chi Minh Vietnam and bike went over the cliff it took me 3 hours to get to the bike to hit the button since then i keep it on me not on the bike
Wild story, thanks for the tip
Thanks Matt for this very fine gear review! What is the weight of your gear (all together without water and food) and what does the bike weigh?
I don’t want to know
Thanks for posting , I start 2 July 24 see you out there .
Thanks as well for posting, best of luck on your trip
watching from Ireland, hell of a set up but man it must have cost a small fortune.great video.
Yes it did, that’s why I made the edit, to help people make informed purchases. Like I said in the vid go bike touring on whatever bike you have and it will be fun.
Nice set up. You pack like I do, definitely not ultralight! Unless I missed it, one thing I didn’t see was some camp shoes (crocs, sport sandals, flip flops, etc.)
I am back from the trip now, I did end up buying some flip flops in Breckenridge. Nice to let the feet breath as much as possible.
Best of luck on the Divide, happy trails!
Thanks Mike
Thank you very much explaining gear “stuff” two weeks ago I bought THE BIKE for my next year GDMBR! Now I am testing it and all new gear for bikepacking. This will help me dearly! Thanks
That's excellent you got a new bike, hope preparations for you trip go well for your trip.
Cool video man, hello from Scotland 🏴
Thanks @milanoreddc5591
Awesome video!…thanks for taking the time and sharing it with us!…best of luck with the GDMBR! and safe travels!…😎
Thanks @dodginglions5163
Very well filmed and edited what camera did you use while on the bike was it a go pro or action 4 or did you just use your Sony Alpha 7 II
I used a GoPro 11 for all the rolling and talking shots on the bike, a Sony A7sIII, and a DJI Mini 3 Pro. Stoked you like it @Bikepacking
Gear seems dialed in, good luck! Maybe we’ll cross paths on the bitteroot trail!
Thank you, certainly hope to see you on the path
Very nice setup! Exxxcellent video presentation!
Glad you liked it, thank you
Where the kush kit kept 😉
Revelate Design Mag Tank 2000
i think the botom part of the rear rack is backwards . if you flip it the bottom part of the bags will be further back and not at angle \ and instead at a angle of /
I wonder if that is why he snapped it on the ride?
I will check
I believe a side impact from a rock when it tipped over was the cause of the break.
Sick backdrop brother. Thanks for the vid!
Thanks @thewintersteiner, this is on the Adventure Cycling Association's route called the Missoula Spur that goes from Seeley Lake to Missoula.
Been looking at the SOMA Dream Lowdown Riser. How do you like it? Wondered if it had enough space either side of the stem for a rigid harness mount, but you seem to have the Salsa mount on there just fine.
Yep salsa cradle on there fits, aerobars outside of that as well.
Very nice setup! I love watching other’s riders setup, I always find some interesting peaces of gear that I might consider use myself, is it to much to ask to list all the items in the video description? cheers from Norway.
You have some great edits, I will attempt to get that list up before I depart.
Best gear list and I have seen them all, thanks bro. Any chance we can get the list?
Thanks @robertbotta6536, would a text list of the items in the description be helpful?
Nice video. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you
Thank you for your gear list. Very helpful.
Stoked you liked it, thank you
There’s a question I need to ask of drone operators, do you have a certification to operate them? In Canada if your operating a drone with “follow me” ability than you need certification to operate one. This involves an extensive course on navigation, chart reading, weather monitoring, etc. Failure to hold this certification will get you fined, drone confiscation by authorities. 24:42
I am certified in the US with a 107 certificate. In Canada through my research I found there are very few restrictions for micro drones which I used. Drones under 250g.
Were you in a bike race or moving house. I’m a little confused.
GDMBR is a bike touring route created in the 90's. The Tour Divide came long after that using a lot of the routes beta. I was never racing.
Спасибо за подробный обзор: очень поучительно’ есть что повторить
Thank you
My friend & I saw you at Ram River Falls
I remember, great to meet you and talk for a bit. In the process of editing all the footage I got from the trip now. Hope the rest of your summer went well.
See you on the trail this summer.
Thanks @Logans_Run, certainly hope to see you the trail as well.
Hope to meet you this year, dot watcher approximately 1,841 from start, ute pass between kremmling & Silverthorne colorado. Marker & water cooler at road, property to stay ALL riders.
Trail angles rule, thank you sir.
I think you forgot to mention what those rad glasses are.
Smith Wildcat, great shades.
Love that sunscreen
Right! Thanks @kk_reads have a great summer.
Great video. Just curious, what’s the approximate weight?
I have never weighed the bags and whole setup; not sure I want to know. It is heavy as far as bike touring goes for sure. Micro video production on two wheels.
Nice video! Can you tell me what sidestand it is you use directly in the beginning?
Click Stand, he mentions it at 8:45
Thanks @larrym2434
Riders should know, between Williams fork reservoir (kremmling colorado) and Henderson mill (ute pass Silverthorne) the county will be grading and mag chloride applied starting the 24th about 12 miles of road, Katja got caught in it last year messing up her brakes after going down the pass.
MM 14.5 is cooler road with bike marker, I host here go thru small gate. Spread the word, I'm not internet savvy
Thanks for the info.
Ps another tip always ask people to subscribe at start of video it will help if you ask
Great tip
Nice trip, what were your ‘ear buds’? Thxs
Headphones= Powerbeats 3
Ear Plugs= Loop Ear Plugs
Nicely done. Very informative. What does the bike weigh unloaded and loaded (no food/water, just gear)? Seems like it would be on the heavy side. Thanks.
The bike by itself is only about 22lbs. I haven't weighed it loaded. I am certainly not focused on going super light like many Tour Divide racers do. I was focused on adequate space for food, water, camera gear and appropriate clothing for Northern Alberta.
It's too much weight, he'll be pushing the load and get damn tired of doing it.
Wait, how do you attach the camera bag on the aerobar?
Two Silicone straps. One is exactly like I use for the water bottles and the other is much smaller. Works great.
@@wax_tracksthanks for the answer, will try that
The seat is very cool
I am very impressed how comfortable the Infinity saddle is and a suspension seat post helps with the lower back. Thanks @bikepacking
@@wax_tracks been using that seat for 6 years love it
Nice video. When are you departing and are you going northbound or southbound?
Thanks @JoeFoxJr, I will be heading Southbound from Jasper, departing June 21st, weather permitting.
I keep my drone in a merit popcorn stem bag and camera in another meritgear popcorn bag that way easy fast access
Thanks for the tip, those look like high quality bags that you can custom order.
@@wax_tracks yes the standard bags they have on there website are smaller to tight of a fit for drone and controlerjust send them message and say you want the bigger bag that you made custom for mark in Vietnam then your stuff will fit no problem
What frame is that?
1:03
2020nS-Works Epic Carbon Hardtail
Hey, If you haven't tried a Tyre Glider - don't even think about it - buy it! It saves on weight as well. See you on the trail!
Thank you
Tell you what I've been Bikepacking for 6 years now . I think I'll stick to whatever works for me
absolutely
🚴🏼🚴🏼🚴🏼🫡
nice
That’s a quality set up, but also a lot of gear, not a minimalist approach.
Certainly not minimalist, specifically focused on bringing camera gear and sufficient battery supply.
He'll be sending a ton of shit home
Right that’s what I said in the edit
