10 days bikepacking to the mountains of Norway
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 сер 2024
- Family summer vacation 2021. In our family, summer vacation means packing the tent and heading outdoors. This year, we wanted to go to the mountains. The question was just how to get there. With the Delta variant of the COVID-19 virus spreading rapidly through Norway, public transport didn’t really tempt us.
Living without a car, we would have to get there under our own steam. Our goal simply became to ride to the mountains with our dog while avoiding high-traffic roads as best we could. Things went rather smoothly half way around our loop, but then our luck seemed to have come to an end.
Filmed with Fujifilm XT-3 and Fujifilm XC 15-45mm f/3.5-5.6 OIS PZ.
All photos except for the packrafting images were captured with Fujifilm X-pro1 and the XF18 f/2 lens.

This is a dream for me. Bikepacking with my family and my dog. You've just given me a visual presentation of something I've only imagined. Thank you!
Thanks for the kind words! 😊🙏 Hope you get to ride with your family and dog one day! 😊👍
i love the cinematography, actually you good on photograpy and combine those thing, briliant. you litteraly living my dream. sorrounded by people with the same passion, blessed.
Thanks a lot for commenting, really appreciated! 😊🙏 I do feel privileged having people around me sharing the same passion for the outdoors 😊
The filming looks great, Norway is such a beautiful country I would love to explore one day. I love how you took your pup with you. No one gets left behind. He sure did enjoyed the bikepacking! Now I have an idea how to bring my pup with me everywhere we go! 💛
Thanks, glad you liked the movie! 😊🙏 Good luck bringing the pup along😄👍🐶
What a wonderful way to create lasting memories with your family. The beauty of exposing your daughters to such adventures is that it will lead them to do the same with their own families. Gratulerer!
Thanks for all the kind words 😊🙏 It’s a wonderful thought that they might bring their own kids on little family adventures sometime in the future, I hope you’re right! 😄👍
Great film, beutifully made and very enjoyable, thankyou!
Thanks, happy to hear you enjoyed the movie! 😊🙏
You're so right about finding new places and trails in your own backyard. Home adventures can often be the best. Great video.
Thanks, glad you liked the video!
Another beautifully filmed and edited video.
Your narration, as usual, is top class.
Thanks very much for that 👍
Pedalling that fat bike looked like hard work! Loved this video, great work 👍. Would love to see this beautiful country someday.
Glad you liked the movie, thanks! That fatbike was surely hard to muscle up the hills, though it does help somewhat to get the pressure in the tires way up.
beautiful. how I wish I could also experience such an adventure like this!
Thanks, happy to hear you liked it! 😊🙏
Lovely trip and ever gripping storytelling. Good show, I enjoyed watching this. 💚🌍😎👌
Kindest Regards.

Thanks for the kind words, glad you enjoyed it! 😊🙏
Enjoyed the video. Appreciated your camera work, storytelling, pacing, and photography. Good job schlepping those Hilleberg tents! Those things are heavy but they are beauties! Subbed and looking forward to more of your content!
Thanks for all your kind words and sub, really appreciated! The Hilleberg Rogen tents aren’t that bad considering they have plenty room for two (ca 2,1 kg each) and are great in bad weather. Our lightest option is a an old GoLite Shangri-La 5 at 2,5 kg, but we are a bit heap bringing that old tent up in the mountains. I wish Hilleberg would make a mid 😄
Fantastic trip! Dog is a well seasoned traveler, he/she was so chill.
Thanks, glad you liked it! 😊🙏 And yes, he’s become pretty chill riding in his crate 😄👍
Best way to spend a holiday! Thanks for the video.
Glad you liked it, thanks for commenting! 🙏🏻
I really like the phrase ‘the whisper of the river’ beautiful place 👍❤️😊
Thanks, glad you liked it 😊🙏
That was great, really enjoyed following along with you and your family-thanks
Cute Doggo!
Looks like a really beautiful area. Norway seems like such an incredible country to ride through.
Thanks, I’ll tell Banjo 😄🙏
This isThe way a bike packing video should be done.thanks for sharing.mike from Michigan in the usa
Really appreciate your feedback, Mike, thanks for commenting!
The view, the road, the story, really enjoyed the video!
Thanks, happy to hear you enjoyed the video! 😊🙏
Stumbled across this - what a beautiful stumble. Indeed you're privileged to have such an amazing family and back-door scenery - make the most of it!! Thanks so much for sharing. Now to see what else you have ...
Happy to hear that you enjoyed the movie, thanks for the kind words! 😊🙏
Great video of your family adventure! Thanks for sharing.
Glad you liked the video, thanks for commenting! 😊🙏
Takk for en fantastisk video. I like the word fri luft sliv. I shall use that now when out bikepacking.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video! 🙏 Yes, the word “friluftsliv» is great 😊 👍
What a beautiful video, and such a nice landscape and story. I've only been once in Norway in the early 2000s - still loving the memories of the wilderness and quietness and roughness of the country.
When my kids will be old enough, i could imagine to make a tour like this :-)
Best of all is what you said: "Home is where ever you pitch your tent."
Also your gear is great. No fancy ultra light stuff makes it even more human and likeable.
Thanks a lot!
Thanks for all the kind words, Dirk, very much appreciated! 😊🙏 I try not to obsess too much about gear these days. Fast and light has its merits, but surely not on a family vacation 😄 Hope you get to bring your kids on a bike trip sometime in the future!
What a fantastic video. Terrific editing, great narration. A great way to remember an amazing trip.
Thank you so much for the kind words, very much appreciated, Ben! 😊🙏
Really beautiful, even in the Rain, thanks for sharing

What a lovely family & back country you have. Lovely sceneries & especially the rivers. Thoroughly enjoyed your presentation of Norway. Oh & the choice of music was spot on.
Thank you so much for your feedback, very much appreciated. I guess music taste is rather personal, but good to hear that you enjoyed the soundtrack. Thanks again for commenting! 😊🙏
Wow! Great video! Very nice to see your family enjoying that trip together! Thanks for sharing.
Glad you liked it, thanks! 😊🙏
Oh yeah, the story telling was also wonderful. Great stuff sir...great stuff...
Thanks, happy to hear you enjoyed the video 😊🙏
Norway is beautiful country. I remember doing RV trip to drive by the coast from top to bottom 5K km. Now I live in Florida and bike touring here but Norway would be a great to ride a bike. Nice video. Thanks for sharing your adventure 👍
Sounds like a great trip! Thanks for commenting! 😊
that was a great video of a great trip. So, glad you get to go out and have this adventure and others with the family and the pooch. Great cinematography and love all the different bike set ups. Well done, wishing you many more wonderful adventures.
Thanks for all the kind words, really appreciated! 😊🙏

Glad you liked the movie! Thanks for commenting! 😊🙏
im so blessed I've come across your channel..this is what i dream..bikepacking with my wife and daughter (8yrs old). maybe a little more time..but Thank you for this visualization.. I'm so inspired 🙏🏼
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for all the kind words! No need to wait, just keep the distance short 😊
What a beautiful ride! I love your story telling format and your filming/editing (color grading), it’s fantastic! Inspiring! A share with you the passion for outdoors and cycling, Bikepacking is the perfect combination and I have ridden many of those backroads in Trøndelag, so this film brings back memories, can’t wait for the summer. Cheers! Eller som dere sier: skål!
Thanks for the kind words! 😊🙏 Here’s to a great bikepacking summer! 🚲 Cheers!
😀 Wonderful!! I'm from Portugal and i'll bike to work. Your trip was a dream for me! May be one day...
Glad you liked it! 😊🙏 Happy riding!
The opening scene... I was sold on it, how scenic and artistic that is! And then you do one of my most favourites things: bikepacking :) love your channel man, you deserve much more attention!
Greetings from Sweden ;)
Thanks for the kind words, really appreciated! 😊🙏 I have great memories from riding in Sweden, cheers!
Your videos are excellent. You do a really great job. I truly enjoy the family life aspect of your videos.
Thanks for all the kind words, Joshua, happy to hear you enjoy the videos!
Great vid!
Thanks, glad you liked it!
Just joined your channel today. Very entertaining and enjoyable. As a " Norwegian Canadian" I enjoy anything that has to do with Norway. My father was born there and my mother's family came from there and the country has been a part of my growing up. Thank you for the exhalent photography and narration. Sometime soon I want to visit friends and family in Norway again. ( To H... with covid!!!) Thank you again.
Thanks for the sub and all the kind words! I’m “Norwegian-Danish” myself and can relate to what you write about having family and friends abroad during the pandemic.
A good route, beautifully shot, I understood the philosophy that is very close to me... it made me want to drive around Norway
Thanks! 😊🙏 I can recommend experiencing Norway from the bicycle seat 😄👍
@@BackwoodsBikepacking yes, this is exactly the option I am considering, so far I have traveled a lot only in my native Ukraine. But, after the end of the war, I really want to make a cycling trip through Scandinavia
Hope the war ends soon. It’s hard to understand this is happening in Europe in 2022. All the best!
Thank you very much. Can't wait to come to Norway again.
Thanks, glad you liked it! 😊🙏
I really love what you're doing bike packing with the family is really great..I'm doin biking and hiking but I'm not yet tried bike packing while watching your video it makes me realize it's really hard but happy and enjoyed all the stunning view of the mountains..watching from Taiwan...
Thanks, glad you liked the movie! 😊🙏Bikepacking doesn’t have to be hard at all, it all depends on how much gear you bring and where and how far you ride. Some of my most memorable rides have been easy local rides 😄👍
The best family + doggo I've aver seen, maybe u can make video about your family bike set up for reference. Thanks..
Thanks! 😊🙏 I’ll see if I can get around to make a bikepacking gear geeking vid one day 😊🚲🏕
@@BackwoodsBikepacking can not wait to watch it...
What a great video. Thank you for sharing! This reaffirming my family goals as the kids grow up:-)
That’s wonderful to hear! Happy riding! 😊🙏💚🚲
What an incredible journey! I love that you brought your pup along for the ride too. Great video. Keep 'em coming!
Thanks, glad you liked the video. It’s great to bring Banjo along when we can 😊🙏🐶
@@BackwoodsBikepacking is it a struggle? Like biking with a dog and having to carry everything? I’m still a beginner bike rider so I wouldn’t rlly know but I kinda wanna go on a bike ride with my cat , is that possible or is it difficult?
@@m4xypads4life Bikepacking can be just as hard or easy as you make it. This trip had some pretty tough climbs, but bikepacking in flatter terrain with a light load can be relaxing and easygoing. The most important thing is to practice gradually to make the pet comfortable sitting in the crate. Banjo has become accustomed to be in his crate and relaxes as soon as we put him into it. We used clicker-training with treats to train him. That should work well with a cat, too. Good luck!
Really enjoy your storytelling style. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
Thanks for commenting, glad you enjoyed it! 😊🙏
You make fantastic films. Thanks for sharing 👍
Glad you like them, thanks for commenting 😊🙏🚲
Amazing video! Thank you for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for commenting! 😊
This was both a great and inspiring video ! As a Fujifilm user too, I was in love with the colors !
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! The movie was shot with the XT3 and the Classic Chrome film simulation (by mistake, I was supposed to have used Eterna) and treated with a homemade LUT. The photos are RAWs from the old Xpro1 adjusted in Lightroom. Love that camera and wish Fujifilm would make exactly the same camera with an up-to-date autofocus system 😄
Its so interesting and a joyous life....
Thanks! 😊🙏
Your most welcome🤗
Nicely done.
Thanks! 🙏😊
Great video! Thank you for sharing your adventure!
Happy to hear you enjoyed the video, thank you for commenting! 😊🙏🚲
What a great chilled out video , thanks for posting really enjoyed watching that :)
Thanks for the kind words, really appreciated! 😊🙏🚲
Takk for en fantastisk reise gjennom Norge på sykkel!
Jeg skulle gjerne vært med.. Hvis jeg var Banjo!
En veldig heldig og tydelig lykkelig vofs!
Tusen takk for hyggelig tilbakemelding! Sender en hilsen fra Banjo 😄🐶
Impresionantes lugares y paisajes..
Thanks, yes, the landscape is beautiful in places 😊
another quality film! love the colour grading, and the photos are gorgeous, something to aspire to be able to take!
Really happy that you enjoyed the movie and the photos. The photos were all taken with the old (after today’s standards) Fujifilm X-Pro1 and the XF18mm f2, just to get a bit photo nerdy 😊
Nice i want to try bikepacking also and yt bring your video i hope i can do it this year. Keep it up bringing nice story while biking😎💕🇵🇭
Glad you enjoyed the video! 😊🙏 Hope you get to bikepack this year! 😄👍🚲
An excellent video. Love your videography, narration, and the editing. The color grading is stunningly beautiful. I left you a subscription right there!
Wow, thanks, glad you liked the video! 😊🙏 Thanks for the sub, I have a few more videos from trips in the pipeline 😄👍
Lovey Still Photographs!
Thanks, glad you liked the images! 😊🙏
I really enjoyed your Fam bikepacking with your very very adorable woofFam member Banjo 😍😍!! I got as well a woof buddy here named Hoppy, I'll try to set up a seat in my carrier so I can as well bring her in my bike packing.😁😁
Glad you enjoyed the video. Hope you get to bikepack with Hoppy!
Wow, this video is so beautiful and inspiring! I've always dreamed of something like this myself, but haven't had the chance yet... You've given me the motivation to try to make it happen as soon as possible! Thank you!!
Thank you for the kind words, very appreciated! 😊👍 Glad you found the movie inspiring.
Home is where you pitch your tent 👍👍❤️😊
😄❤️👍
GREAT JOURNEY ....
It sure was a great holiday 😄👍
very calmly narrated, loved the calmness keep it up :)
Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated! I’ll try to stay calm 😄👍
Amazing...
Thanks! 😊🙏
Nice trip! Nice video! Channel is subscribed :)
I travelled through the backwoods along the Norwegian-Swedish border this summer, mainly following National Bike Route 9 for quite a while (in Norway, roughly from Stoa to Magnor). Very lovely area! Lots of ups and downs though … Enjoyable open huts run by the National Forst Service …
Anyway, when watching your video, it reminded me when I was climbing a steep hill from Trysil southwards. I cycled through almost five km of posh holiday cottages! It felt unreal and just not right. Not what I had expected from Norway … But I was very lucky to spend two nights in a simple (no electricity / running water / shower) but extremely cosy isolated cottage some 20k down the road.
So, I can understand that many people have the desire to call a holiday cottage their own. And not all of those cottages can be located in isolation … But I totally agree - the trend of holiday villages does not seem to go into the right direction.
Great travels!
Thanks for commenting and the sub! 😊🙏 The area you cycled in is a rather desolate area of Southern Norway except for the area around Trysil, I suppose. Further west, the areas with cabin villages are extensive. I guess we all want that cabin in the woods, but as you point out, its not really possible 😄 Sounds like a good trip, though, I haven’t cycled quite that far east in Norway yet 😄👍
@@BackwoodsBikepacking Thanks for your reply! The trip was indeed really nice. Very beautiful landscape (maybe apart from the clear-felling areas in between …). The Finnskogen area was also culturally very interesting. It was probably the most charming scenery (together with Idrefjäll and north from there) on my way from nearby Östersund to Trelleborg. But coming from the lowlands, I found the hilly terrain quite demanding and caught myself cursing the existence of hills not only once 😊
I wish you many more exciting breakouts and family trips into the backwoods!
2:00 when you just can't say no to your master 😆
Ha-ha 😄👍 I think he looks a bit perturbed because I’m filming him, he doesn’t like me filming or taking pictures close up. He often whines when he wants to get up into the crate and likes to just lye down peering out when we’re riding 😊
Nice video. Awesome adventure with the family! I am sure this is not always easy to manage ;) Just working on our documentation of our Great Divide through the US as well. These experiences are just sooo precious :)
Thanks, happy to hear you enjoyed the movie! 😊 We’ve been on trips since the kids were toddlers and have some of our best memories from trips. I’ll argue that everyday life can be more challenging to manage than a bike trip 😉 The Great Divide sounds awesome, must have been a wonderful experience! 😊👍🚲
Really great stuff full of beautiful shots! Love the colour grading and typography.
Thanks for commenting, I really appreciate the feedback! 😊🙏 I used LumaFusion for the first time for this video with a homemade LUT. LumaFusion was great to work with, though I wasn’t quite happy the way the grading turned out for all the scenes.
@@BackwoodsBikepacking Thank you for pointing out which software was used! I always wanted to look into LumaFusion for the next summer adventures, now I have a even better reason to check it out.
I have used Sony Vegas when I started playing with videos back in 2011. I switched to FCPX in 2013, but haven’t really made any videos in a number of years until starting out for fun again last year. I wanted a more
mobile editing platform and a change from monotonous work with a PC mouse and went to LumaFusion recently. When they get scopes added, I think they have a really strong editor that should be great for the kind of stuff I fool around with 😄👍
great adventure i like the video
Thanks, happy to hear you enjoyed the movie! 😊🙏
Mikkel, with wife, kids and dog cycle touring in that fantastic Norway scenery you are living as close to a nirvana state as I could imagine! What fantastic views! Any place you have an edited route you took on here?
Such a shame that those new villages are spoiling such an idyllic countryside.
Thanks for all the kind words! 🙏 It’s interesting how someone’s backyard is another person’s exotic place. When I envy the nature people in faraway places live in or near, I have to remind me just that. I struggle to get Norwegians to see how nature close to them can be full of adventure, no need to travel far away 😊 I rarely share routes (I should make a video describing why), but this was basically just a a round trip loosely based on the official bike routes 😊
@@BackwoodsBikepacking Understand completely. It's kinda like a bikecampers 'fishing spot' 🙂
@@yoohoo909 Sure, sometimes, it’s about «fishing spots», absolutely, but not so here. It’s complicated, but don’t take it personal.😊 It’s not really a route I’d recommend over others anyway, we just knitted together a few routes with some forestry roads and backroads here and there to get a loop we could ride from home 😄
Wonderful video, one of your friend's bike setups caught my eye - two Carradice camper longflaps?!
Thanks, glad you liked it! 😊🙏🏻 You’re right, my wife rode with two Carradice Longflap Camper’s. I have removed the side pockets on one of them so it fits better between the handlebars.
@@BackwoodsBikepacking Thank you for explaining! I enjoy seeing what people use as their setups, and this certainly is an original one. I also appreciate the work put into filming, I've tried it myself and it's just crazy how much effort one has to put in to get nice shots.
فيديوجميل جدا😙😚
بس وين اوجيهكم مايبينون ابد
بس فيديوجميل جدا استمرووو
Thanks, glad you liked the video, I’ll do my best to keep it up 😄🙏👍
enjoined watching.
Thanks, glad you liked it! 😊🙏
Hey! congrats on the video, absolutely loved it! Such a beautiful country. I was wandering what camera did you used to shot such beautiful landscapes
Thanks!,
Thanks a lot, glad to hear you liked it. The video was shot on a Fuji XT-3 with the XC15-45 while the photos from the bike trip was shot on a Fuji X-pro1 with the dinky XF18 f2. The packrafting images were shot with a Nikon D600 and mostly with the 28mm f1.8.
👍👍👍👍
😊🙏
nice vlog as usual:)
Thanks, glad you liked it! 😊🙏
Love your video, and bikepacking with your dog. What route was this?
Thanks! The route was just a roundtrip I made linking a few shorter segments of the national cycle routes with forestry roads and smaller roads.
This is too good to be real
You’re too kind 😊🙏
@@BackwoodsBikepacking the storyline, footage, edit and overall impression at the end... is like this is the product of big production crew, but very well crafted so that it looks more real. This movie should be submitted to festivals and I am sure it will have many awards!
Thanks again, really, really appreciated! 😊🙏
This documentary is such an inspiration to me after The Celtic Race! Your storytelling and camera work is really amazing, a lot to learn from you!
Do you mind sharing what camera do you use? It’s so stable and the audio is so clear.
Thanks for all the kind words, really appreciated! 😊🙏 The movie was shot with the Fuji XT3 and the cheap XC15-45. The lens is pretty small and light and has OIS which helps keeping the footage stable. I also stabilized some of the footage in LumaFusion.
Forgot the audio: I used the onboard mic on the camera, but it’s terrible for this sort of use which is why I didn’t use much audio form the trip itself. The narration was done with a Rode NTG1.
This is one of the most well-produced and beautiful bikepacking films I've seen. So lovely to see your family out exploring together and making memories right from your front door. I've got a few geeky questions about the bags on the black bike. I see you've got a Carradice Camper on the back. Is that supported by the Bagman? If so how did you find the Bagman's durability over rough roads? I've got a Camper/Bagman setup and used it lightly loaded with no problems so far and wondered how you got on. And the bag on the front looks like a Camper with the side pockets removed. Is that right? If so that's a great hack! Thanks once again for making such a wonderful and compelling video. You made my day!
Thanks for the kind words, Eddie, they’re very much appreciated and made my day! You are absolutely right about the Carradice Longflap Camper and the Bagman. I’ve had doubts about the Bagman myself, but all in all, I think this one has seen about 2500 kilometres over the last couple of years. Although it’s been used on some rather rocky gravel sections, the surface has been fairly even and smooth most of the time. I wouldn’t hesitate using it on gravel with a moderate load (say 5-6 kg), but would stay clear of rocky trails. It’s been in their catalog for years if I’m correct, so I guess any issues would have surfaced by now and hopefully corrected. Removing the front pockets was done to leave more space for the hands riding on the hoods on the drop bars. Ironically, we might change the drop bar to a flat bar in the near future. Thanks again for your comment!
@@BackwoodsBikepacking Thanks for getting back to me. I've been looking for a way of doubling the capacity of my drop bar bike and your de-pocketing hack might just be it! Thanks for putting my mind at ease about the Bagman - as you say, it's been around for a long time so it must be fully field-tested now! I'm slowly making my way through all of your videos. You've got a real talent for visual storytelling and a great narrator's tone. Subscribed and eagerly awaiting the next video.
Thanks again for the kind words and the sub! New video in the pipeline :)
👍 betul bahwa indah nya dunia ini Wie Vian Nemu 😀🔥 Indonesia

u r blessed ❤
Thanks 😊
Cool B-)
Thanks, glad you liked it! 😊🙏
Great video, inspiring to get out with my family and see what adventures we can find near where we live. Also, where can I get a pair of those shoes in the opening scene??
Glad you enjoyed the video and are planning to go out with your family! 😊🙏 The boots are the Fåborg model of the Danish shoe brand Duckfeet (rather descriptive name 😄). They are rather old school with a sole made of natural rubber. The sole is rather hard and also slippery in muddy conditions, but other than that, I’m pretty happy with them.
Nice adventure and story told . Pictures: why all bums and no faces? Just wondering.
Thanks! 😊🙏 The reason for all the bum pics is twofold. Since this was our holiday, I didn’t want to stick a camera in my family’s face all the time. The second reason is that I was tied to the bike with Banjo in the back most of the time. Riding in front of them and shooting behind me was kinda challenging, so I ended up with a lot of shots from behind.
Haha I had to check twice that it was filmed during summer :D
😄👍
This is an insanely beautifully shot and edited video to only have 2,094 views. I'm honored to be the 2095th person. Your photography is gorgeous, your restrained and restful style is such a respite from the rest of youtube and even the bikepacking videos in the genre.
Thanks you so much for your kind words, really, really appreciated! 😊🙏
That was wonderful! I’m very interested in taking a cycling trip of Norway, Finland, possibly Lapland and some of Sweden. I’m planning a coast to coast ride in the US first. I have a question about you riding In hiking 🥾 boots. Aren’t they heavy and do they rub your ankles? I plan to ride in regular bike shoes not made for cleats because they are made stiff on the bottoms and mountain pedals with the small spindles for gripping. My US trip will be nearly 100% on paved roads using the Adventure cycle cross continent trail. Thanks for sharing. Norway is beautiful. I’ve always been interested and was recently surprised by a DNA 🧬 profile showing Norwegian heritage. I think I’m a biking Viking now 😊. 👍☮️🚴♀️🚵♀️🚵♂️🏕🐾❤️
Thanks, glad you liked it! 😊🙏🏻 I ride in all sorts of footwear depending on the ride. If I’m on my Surly cross bike, I’m riding with a pair of mob shoes with cleats. I’ve also been riding in everything from sandals to big, fat Sorel Bighorn boots in winter. Lately, I’ve been experimenting with riding with boots also outside winter. Boots will normally be heavier than shoes, but for bikepacking, I find the advantages of their ruggedness and weather resistance outweigh that, especially in the shoulder seasons, when the weather can act up. For a fast and light ride, the con of them being a little more heavy might outweigh the advantages, I guess. I don’t find that they rub at all as the movement of the feet in my experience is less extreme on a bike than while walking. Sounds really great with a ride across the US, and interesting to hear about your DNA test regarding Norwegian heritage. Hope you have a nice ride, good to know there’s biking Vikings roaming the US on two wheels 😊🏕🚲
@@BackwoodsBikepackingThanks 👍. Be safe and keep pedaling 🚴and posting. 💟
👌
😊🙏
Lovely video. I'm envious. I'm intrigued by the huge olive green saddle bag and bar bag. What make are they?
Glad you liked it! 😊🙏 The bags are made by Carradice and called The Longflap Camper. I been in love with those bags for years 😄
@@BackwoodsBikepacking Thank you. I really do love the video. I'm going to watch it again.
Great to hear, thanks! 😊🙏 New video should be ready for tomorrow, by the way 😊
i know families who cycle in france on holiday, looks like great fun, Norway human rights are high
Love to ride down to France one day 😄👍
Very nice video. I live in tropical Southeast Asia and I've never seen those orange colored berries. What are they?
Thanks, glad you liked it! 😊🙏 The berries are cloudberries, a species in the rose family growing on bogs in boreal forest and all the way north to the arctic. They are treasured for their characteristic taste and used in jam and desserts.
👍🇮🇳
