Hi, my name is Shawn….and I’m a bikepacking / bicycle touring tragic.
My social platforms are full of bikepacking and bicycle touring groups & individuals; my (internet) circle of friends share the passion; I read about the topic over breakfast; I listen to podcast interviews of cyclists on my cycling-commute to & from work; and I dream of travelling long roads from country to country - month after month 😊.
My challenge is making the time to do more riding.

Jo has been on a few overnighters & day trips on the BVRT with me. On this occasion, we left the car at Fernvale, road ~150 km and spent two nights camping in a tent.

With Australia entering our summer months, I'm getting out on overnighter camping trips as much as possible. This sub 24-hour overnighter is only 20km from home.

In the first two videos I covered why I was dyeing the tents and how I dyed the tents. In this video I show the before and after shots of the tents in a variety of natural environments.

I step through the process of dyeing a grey tent & an orange tent in an attempt to create a tent colour more suited to stealth camping.

I have two tents which (due to their colour) don't lend themselves to great stealth camping. I am changing the tent's colours to attempt to blend in with the natural environment.

Flat attack! Tube puncture sealer.
Looks really good. I just wish it came in 8 liters.
Great video! How are you still liking them?
I do like the mount that stays on the fork though. More streamline than the Ortlieb which has little arms that stick out. Looks like a nice option.
Have you used them much over the 5 months? Are they will functioning well? Thanks
Thanks for the review. Any long term feedback? How have they held up? Waterproof? How robust is the snap in system?
They look pretty well made. What are you doing for carrying your water bottles now?
Good review, very helpful stuff
They look pretty good!

Long term update
@@theogohioan1633sadly, life has kept me from a decent ride-camping trip 😞....so no update yet
One thing I've noticed in researching touring tires, Schwalbe states the Mondials are their flagship but, put 5mm puncture protection in their Marathon plus Tour tires which seems better. I think if you drop down a size to 42-622 it may solve you fender problem.
Any word after one year with the Mondials?
I rode the PCBR around this time last year and got 3 punctures during an afternoon and the next morning. I attribute all 3 to the wire belts of blown truck tires.
@@newdecadecycling G'day, how did you find the mudguard mod performed? Did it tend to spray you with water or mud? Depending on your reply, I'll do the same mod. Thanks!
@@99muddy99 Hi Muddy. The mod does work and is effective. That said, I have heard of an alternative that is potentially more effective. Rather than widening the mudguard at the fork to accommodate the thicker/higher tire, cut the mudguard so that it does not need to pass thru the fork. This will leave you with a front & rear section of mudguard that you reattach to the front & rear of the fork via a small L-bracket. If this short description doesn't make sense, PM me & we can arrange a chat to discuss it further.
@@newdecadecycling G’day mate. Thanks for your reply. I understand your L-bracket mod; however, I think i’d prefer yours. I also have a Vivente Gibb with Rohloff. Mine is a 2016 model, with 700mm wheels, and I’m running 35mm tyres. My understanding is that i would need 650D(?) rims to accomodate 50mm tyres. Have you any insights or thoughts? Thanks again.
This test also makes it clear that the colour of a tent is only one factor in concealment. Shape, reflection and movement are equally important. Best regards from the Swedish Army!
I’ve just had the same issue with my Gibb and the front guard, your idea with heating and flattening looks like a better option than no guard on the front(which I have been doing). Good option is a tape inside the tire, thanks
Did you need any permissions for this section? Or just buying the Section 6 book?
From memory, the book did supply a contact phone number for the first part on the southern side of the highway, and possibly the last section north of the highway. The last section does not have any homesteads or buildings, whereas the first section does
@@shawnhardie543 Thanks Shawn
Good onya Jo! Proper job.
Nice one. Liked the intro. Jo did well. That whispy pinkish grass i think is called molassis grass.
Thanks Graham :)
love it,beautiful view~see u around! 🤙
Thank you very much!
I see you are running a belt as opposed to a chain. Whats the benefit to that? And does the derailer at the rear still work the same as if it were a chain?
Pretty sure this bike is equipped with a Rohloff hub. The belt requires no lubricant and less frequent cleaning
Cool video thank for the info .I liked and subbed
Awesome thank you!
Nice editing
Thanks
I hiked that journey you did over a couple of days and as I walked along I thought this would be doable on a bike. Certainly would have made that middle road a lot more pleasant lol.
I was wondering if it would be possible to get from kilkivan to yarraman in a single days ride. Looks like it wasn't an easy days riding though. I am trying to work out if I span 3 or 4 days for the journey.
Let's help Shawn to get 1k subscribers 😊😊
Not a bad campsite. Nice morning view over the Quarry lake. 😎
Is there any impact on waterproofing?
Hi Till - the single person (older of the two) had the seam seal starting to lift...and the heating process finished the job & totally lifted all the seal from the seams
Thanks Shawn Wayne Eddy
How much of the foliage is deciduous? I find in the UK woodland many tents don't cut it in Autumn and winter. I use a tarp and tent combo with camo nets for summer/spring. Trying to find the depth of woodland I need is key. How deep do I need to be for full blend was my issue. Great video, subbed.
Hi Mark - in my neck of the woods there are few deciduous trees. In the southern parts of Australia you'll see more of these types of trees. This means the landscape looks pretty similar during the whole year.
Thanks for the company Shawn. It was i good way to spend an over nighter.
Looks like a lot of fun!
Really enjoyed this one, Thanks Shawn. Our route here: www.wikiloc.com/ebike-trails/falls-drive-and-condamine-gorge-killarney-48142357

Nice video and country. How do you keep the wind noise at bay
In this instance with the GoPro, I've a technique of cupping the camera in my hand which seems to block most of the wind. Still has some wind noise which adds to the immersive-experience :)
@@newdecadecycling seems to be working!
Good edit. Possibly need to be bit longer.
yep - I agree. Sadly, I had a bit of a issue & didn't capture more footage :-S
I like how the new logo rolls off the screen.
