      Bike packing brings a lot of things to the table. One, if your like me, i have a bad foot from the service. Hiking is fun but short lived, where as on a bike I can extend the miles, and have a pain free trip. Bikes allow you to travel farther period. Granted you are not going to be doing any wilderness travel. I like the fact that someone with your vast experience in Hiking and Biking is willing to share this knowledge with us. Thank You

    I'm becoming a bikepacker myself. My commute to and from work is ~22 miles of mountains and I've just bought a new lighter weight bike I'll be turning into a touring bike as well. It's a hard tail mountain bike. I love it so far. I'm gonna put drop bar clamp adapters and a rear seat post rack to really make it look the part.

  • @adrienrenaux6211
    @adrienrenaux6211 2 роки тому

    For anyone wanting to start on the cheap, you can strap a lot of things to a bike with a bit of ingenuity. You can use a wet bag, loop the buckle around the seat post and then strap it up against your saddle rail to make a cheap seat bag. You can strap any kind of dry back, stuff sack to you your handlebars. You can even make a burrito out of Tyvek and strap it to your handlebars! If you have a rack, you can easily strap some sort of bag on top of it!

  • @mclostinthewoods
    @mclostinthewoods 3 роки тому +1

    Love it. Great vid. Looking forward to more bike content. I'm in the DFW area (TX) and recently discovered a nearly complete project to create the longest trail in Texas. It's called the NETT (North East Texas Trail), and its 130 miles long and runs from Farmersville (right on the northeast edge of DFW) to New Boston (just southwest of TX/AR border). It has established campsites and runs through a bunch of small TX towns. I'm thinking that might be my first long bikepacking experience. I'm excited to see my state embracing the outdoor community. You'd think a state the size of TX would have some great long trails, but the longest backpacking trail here is the LSHT (Lone Star Hiking Trail) which is 96 miles and not maintained that great in a couple sections.

    I'm also a backpacker who's into bike touring. I have a Soma Saga Disc that I built myself and I use it for mostly rail trail trips (Great Allegheny Passage and C&O Canal are my favorite trips). I plan to get out this spring on a S24O on the Schuylkill River Trail near my house since this summers trip is a backpacking trip.

  • @chrislowe3060
    @chrislowe3060 3 роки тому

    I’d suggest leaving the plastic stem cap on the spare tube and also keeping the tube wrapped in a rag or old sock. Over time the tip of your valve stem and multi tool will rub a hole in your tube. Not something you want to discover in the middle of nowhere. Flat spare tubes were a surprisingly common problem I saw when working as a mechanic on charity rides and centuries. It’s one of those things I never saw when working in a shop but saw quite a bit working at events.

    I like the bikepacking content as well, so please add some of it to the channel (but I enjoy the backpacking stuff, too). One thing I notice; on the spare tube you carry, try to position the stem where it won't potentially rub the tube while being jostled around when you ride. I've seen people pull out a tube to fix their flat only to discover it's flat where the stem rubbed a hole in the tube.

    Well done! I bought a bike in May specifically for dirt road touring, Eastern MT and WY to Canada the first year or so. (Surly Bridge Club 27.5) My practice and training is on the County Roads, BLM, and Forest Service Routes. I am picking up next month a permit to camp on Montana State Lands to expand the experience. i am hoping for my first bikepacking in late March, weather permitting. My current project is winter backpacking but there is a winter snow/ice bike nearly finished in the barn. (1984 trek MTB - rigid fork and frame with wide studded tires. And 8 speed internal hub conversion) Boot or wheel, is all real.

    Excellent video, I see that your rear and front bags are quite traditional in design unlike the other more "trendy" modern bags, that's interesting, I still use a pannier rack on the rear but I'm thinking of getting a new bike and omitting the panier rack in favour of the more modern setup.

    I'm a relative beginner myself and my gear is pretty similar. The only difference is aero bars. It makes it a lot more comfortable on your arms, and one of the cheapest ways to add speed/distance.
    My last addition is to think about aerodynamic of my bags because my average speed is fairly high, and then aero is a major factor. Your frame bag is excellent.

    For the newbe there is no right way to travel on a bike. Some bikers bring everything but the kitchen sink. I once met a guy on the road who brought a small TV, He said Why not?. I met a guy going cost to coast with the clothes on his back. Every evening was a hotel and a 6 pac of beer with his restaurant meal. Every week he would buy cheap tee shirts and underwear and throw the soiled stuff away. I'm kind of old school at age 80, I have a lot of equipment options. Good equipment never wears out. I have a three page equipment list that I can select from, depending on the time of year and the type of trip. My phone is now my camera, my maps, and weather radio. I use flat paddles with spikes and my only shoes are Keen sandals with a toe cap and sock to match the weather. Alpaca socks are incredible, they never smell. I have two grab/grub bags on my handle bars. So handy. I don't carry a stove much anymore. I carry "Stacher" brand silicon bags to pick up a prepared restaurant meal or grocery store food for on the road and to carry to camp. My rule of thumb is only bring stuff that has two or more uses. Always carry a nonperishable dense calorie emergency meal . A woman friend I used to bike tour with carried "the little black dress" for a dine out evening. It fold to nothing. Doing hard days long days or short sight seeing days. There are no rules Carry as much or as little as you need and enjoy what you do. See you on the road.

    you made me think about bikepacking for the first time. i like that i dont have to carry everything on my back! but on the other hand i dont enjoy riding bikes. i enjoy walking. what a dilemma. :)

    Fully support your inclusion of bikepacking. I came to your channel as a long time hiker and cyclist looking for what's current in lightweight backpacking - since it's the same for bikepacking! I've ended up enjoying all your hiking content and the little you covered for bikepacking, so more power to you. It's all inspiration for adventures and exploring.

    Perfect timing. I am saving up for a new bike (my curent bike is a cheap thing from walmart that has no way to attach any sort of bag)and a big 5000+ mile trip that I have been planing for over a year now. I would love to see more videos about long trips. Any interviews you do with other people biking with you. I plan on saving 6 to 7 months just so i can see the things and do all the things that i planned to see and do on this trip. I have no delusions of grandeur thinking that it will happen this year but hopefully next year or the year after. Im guessing i would need to have about $6000 saved up so based on what i have saved so far the timeline for this mega trip lines up with 2 years.

    Steel frame with carbon bars and seatpost, it's a pretty unusual combo. From what I gather, even those bikepacking with carbon frames opt for alloy bars, as bars are most likely to crack in a crash.

    • @radicalrye

      Depends on the person, but Carbon bars do wonders for road noise dampening and aren’t as dainty as people think.

    We've followed for you hiking for awhile now and are so excited to see bike packing stuff. We just recently bought gravel bikes with bike packing in mind and viola! There you are adventuring like we want to...again. Glad to see your tips and follow...Yeah!

    Nice to see a fully dialed setup. Only one small quip - Unless it's winter and I'm using it for a thermos, stainless steel is too hot-n/-heavy for carrying water during the day. Maybe that's a good idea for cooking water? Just not sure what purpose SS serves in 2021 other than looks - which are very retro-cool - especially if you're running CrMo!

    Darwin, be careful with your Bagman bracket. I’ve had and used one with a traditional Carradice bag for over 20 years. The bolt loves to work loose. Keep a check on it every few days or so. Also, those bolts are known to break, as they really do have an unfair moment on them. For a longer or remote trip I’d carry a spare for not much spare weight.

    I must admit that when I have gone bike hiking that I would have way more gear than that, mainly because most of it was not sourced from a home/existing supply of ultra-lite hiking gear. Mine would likely way 30lb or more. I use front and rear pannier frames to carry the 2 sets of pannier bags. Keeps the weight low, but would be much less stable than your gear at its higher mounting spot.

    Love it... I'm trying to peak more into this kind of packing since I'm a biker myself and in recent years found love for backpacking. I just need to get the right bike.. since my roadie isn't best for exploring. :) Thums up Darwin.

    I always expected bikepackers to always need at least a small backpack, that missing does suprise me quite a bit!

    A tenkara rod can really limit your fishing if you aren't using waders and you don't have a net. How about trying an ultra light spinning rod and a few lures/clear bobber with flies? I think you'll have more fun with that and find it is more adaptable for different types of fish.

    Bikes are awesome, so please keep it coming! I love backpacking and riding bikes - love merging it! Bikes allow you to see more in the same time, although faster, but in a totally different way. Amazing.

    Thanks so much for sharing information on bike packing. I bike pack and love to see what others use. Thanks for emphasizing that you can do this with any bags/bike you have and showing the cross-over between hiking and bike packing.

    Thank You Darwin. Its great to see you doing more bikepacking videos. It's summer time for me and my friends. We are planing a 400km ride through the Molesworth Station and the Rainbow trail. An adventure Ive been looking forward to if for ages. It's useful to see how and what other people bring on their adventures.

  • @cntrman1705
    @cntrman1705 3 роки тому +1

    Thanks for the ideas/tips on your setup! I've been a recreational backpacker for a couple of years and road cycling as a way to stay in shape. But ever since my hike last year on the AT from Harper's Ferry to the PA border with my brother (as you probably remember the first few miles out of Harper's Ferry is on the Great Allegheny Passage Trail) I've been thinking about trying a multi-day bike trip. Maybe Pittsburgh to DC or, since I live in Ohio, maybe the Ohio to Erie ride.

  • @kevinletts7190
    @kevinletts7190 3 роки тому

    Yes, more bike packing videos. My knees are too fubar for hiking right now so maybe I can do some biking. I really miss my camping days and want to get back out there.

    Wow! Loved the change up in subject matter. Keep it coming. In 1997, I and a buddy did a trip (they called it bike touring then) from OR to NY. We had front and rear panniers, and enough tools and spare parts to build a wheel on the side of the road. I think our bikes weighed well over 70 lbs!

  • @kenfrank3782
    @kenfrank3782 3 роки тому

    So glad you’re doing this !!! I really damaged my foot a few years ago -- close to walking with bone on bone which will really make you sit up and say Holy Shixt that hurt !!!
    Basically I’m going to be doing bike touring and canoe camping as my adventures from now on. Nice thing is a lot of my hiking gear is perfect for biking and canoe camping.

    As if I didn't already seem to have 50% of the same gear you use, I have a very similar bike too. I have a '21 Kona Rove LTD and love it so far. Haven't bikepacked with it yet, but that is going to change this spring.

    Love the Bike content. While a lot of people may not be able to take a long bike trip, I feel there are always good bike trails to explore here in the Midwest. I was really inspired a coupe years ago to explore the biking community by watching your videos. I would always welcome more biking content.
