    I'm over from TGN to say I really enjoy your videos. The style, music, and overall presentation is just what I'm looking for. I have been in a slump for the last year with cycling and this is the type of change-up I might need. I think I might start with stopping for an "adventure coffee" during my rides. Thanks for the inspiration!

      Thank you so much! Great to see a fellow TGN supporter crew here.
      Really happy to hear you are resonating with this style of videos and that's giving you the little "push" you needed. Yeah, Adventure Coffee is really fun and quite bit easier to start with. Get a small folding chair, coffee kit, maybe a table and go! If you really liked doing that, then you got some nice starter kit to expand to a full on backpacking setup later.

    You literally have the best camping kit - love the wristwatch too.

      Thank you! My camping kit/setup is originating from my moto-camping needs (with not very touring/adv centric bikes) so they are pretty compact and minimalistic though not the most ultralight. Looking forward to see where it goes for bikepacking as I do more of that this year. If you are into watches, check out my IG instagram.com/garactacle/ for more watch centric contents!

    Really enjoyed this one. Team bicycles here -- the motorcycle videos are great but your Trek is supa choice so it deserves to be featured more!

      Super happy to hear and thank you very much for your feedback. I’ve been contemplating about moto vs bicycle contents. While I love both, not everyone can ride motorcycle - and bicycle is more accessible to broader range of people and maybe thus more relatable. I’m definitely planning to create videos featuring both mc and bicycle camping moving forward.

    • @garactacle
      @garactacle  7 місяців тому +1

      For this one, it’s a a combination of Leica SL2-S with Summicron 35mm, iPhone 15 Pro Max and Insta360 One RS. See my reply to earlier comment for more details.

    It's a great video. The kind of trip I want.
    What is your frame size?
    And is the rear rack a bontrager?

    • @garactacle
      @garactacle  22 дні тому

      Thank you! The frame size is 52cm on the Checkpoint. I could technically pull off smaller 49cm if I swap out some parts, but the 52cm frame let me put more stuff in the main triangle. I'm happy with my frame size choice. And yes, the rear rack is the skinner and lighter version of Bontrager rack. I put together a gear list here: www.suguru.net/gearlist

    What did you film this on? Great quality!

    • @garactacle
      @garactacle  8 місяців тому +1

      Thank you for watching the episode. This video was a mix of Leica SL2-S with 35mm Summicron (main), iPhone 15 Pro Max (wide angle shots) and Insta360 One RS for on-bike footage.

      Your solo camp with solely the 15 Pro Max was awesome! Did you use any extras on the phone? (ND filter, lenses, etc)

    • @garactacle
      @garactacle  8 місяців тому +1

      My iPhone setup is with neewer.com/products/neewer-pa023-metal-cage-video-rig-iphone-15-pro-66603710 and filters as needed. The cage would make the phone a bit bulky, but you can use tripod, filters straps, even external mic and such.

    こんにちは
    そちらは野生動物の分布はどうなんでしょうか?こちらは北海道なんですが、2019年の5月、6月と立て続けに2度もヒグマに遭遇してからは今だに恐怖心が抜けなく林道ツーリングをしていません。今はもっぱらスーパーカブ50で安全キャンプです。遊ぶ場所は違いますがくれぐれも気をつけてくださいね。

    • @garactacle
      @garactacle  8 місяців тому +1

      北カリフォルニアにはクマさん、結構います。その他には、キツネ、コヨーテ、マウンテンライオン等が多いです。僕は基本的に州立公園内でキャンプするようにしています。(ある程度施設管理がしっかりしていて、情報もこまめにアップデートされます。)今のところ直接の遭遇はありませんが、フンを見たり、ヨセミテなどの国立公園でのニアミスは結構あります。食べ物や匂いのあるものの取り扱いにはできるだけの注意を払っています。実は一番直接被害を受けているのは、アライグマ(動画内で「トラッシュパンダ」と呼んでいる)だったりします。本当に安全第一(人にも熊にも)で楽しみたいですね。

      I definitely love moto-camping, but I also felt the satisfaction and a bit of serenity with bikepacking. Moto-camping isn’t going anywhere and I’ll keep things pretty laid back here, but I think I’ll be doing another bikepacking soon.
