Cool video, sir. Nice to see there is a sidewalk on the bridge going across the Columbia. My sister lives in Vancouver WA and sent pictures of how much snow they received. Rob riding a MTB in snow...been there, done that! Thanks for sharing, sir!
LOL. Loved the video. I really miss my biking partner who died of cancer 10 years ago. You guys have a special friendship that comes from shared experiences and the easy comfort that comes from years of adventures. I get it. Cherish the moments! 👍
Hey Ken, no beer till I got home. It was so icy I was nervous. I watched a gal walking go down in the middle of the street. I got off to help her and fortunately she was okay. My forearms are sore from over gripping! Hahaha Cheers 🍻
In the last 2 years you guys and Ryan Duzer have been a tremendous influence causing a very real addiction to bikepacking. I'm jealous of the awesome friendship you two have. How did it come about? I'm headed for the Appalachian Gravel Growler, NC in April and the Monumental Loop, NM in May. You guys are so casual, informative and inspiring. Bikepacking rafts... just WOW. Your videos seem just real, like I could do that... in fact I am doing it! I've watched all your vids multiple times. I've travel camped via MC from Nova Scotia to CA and the east coast But I'm so stoked to now be an adventure bikepacker and be vicariously connected to you guys. RIDE UNTIL UR KNACKERED.😉
Hey Steve, I love hearing that these videos get people stoked to get out and go bikepacking! Rob and I met like 10 years ago in a local mountaineering club. We started hiking together, mountaineering, rock climbing, then bikepacking! Sounds like you've got some awesome stuff lined up and like you've done some awesome things! Making me jealous! I need to make some plans! You're getting me stoked! I have been looking at the Monumental Loop, was kind of worried May would be pushing it with the heat? Maybe there is a chance for me to squeeze in one final desert trip before it gets too hot! haha. Good luck on your adventures!
Guys I just wanted to drop a note here - if you're ever interested in coming biking up in BC, let me know! I'd love to show you around and/or recommend some off the map cool places to bike.
Like Rob said, we have been trying to plan something up in BC... we want to either plan a bikerafting trip, a bike climbing trip... OR a bikerafting + climbing trip! Would LOVE any ideas! Feel free to hit me up a pnwbikepacking@ gmail.com if you've got any!
Hey Steve, we flip them upside down and put the tent strings on the ends of the tent around our valve stems to pull the tent tight. It works really well. Also, if anyone should try and grab a bike. We are going to know about it real quick! Cheers! 🍻
I love what you guys are doing here with this channel.

Thanks for the sobering reminder Jefferson! Glad you enjoyed the video.
I’m planning on riding from Alaska to Honduras and I’ll gladly take a detour and come by to have one of your lattes ☕️
Thats a hell of a ride! When are you planning on doing that? I'd totally make you some coffee if you ride through!
@@pnwbikepackingI did Honduras/Colombia last year and Alaska Honduras it’s more ambitious need to prepare and save, so it will be 2024
After you finish the video about your bikepacking setup, we *definitely* need to see more of the coffee setup!
Hah it’s embarrassingly elaborate! Bike check first😉
Now that’s real nice right there!! Thanks for the update! I hope Parker can make it back on no beer! 😂

@@RobParker8 bike safety first! 😂🍻
You are a man of many talents Chris. Parker is a good man, make him a few more of those things.
Thanks Jason! I need to ride over to Parker’s house and have him make me a latte next time!

Hey Andrey, we were just looking at your neck of the woods yesterday at lunch.
If we are heading north we will get a hold of you.
Thank you! 🍻
@@RobParker8 Please do! A lot of great riding to be had around here.

@@pnwbikepacking Sent you an email with some info :)
@@cwwmbm Dude you're awesome! Thanks so much for taking the time! We both owe you some beers!
lol just saw most of my daily bike commute! i rode in all week and boy it was both hard and not fun but also fun as hell.
You are brave! The weather has been terrible and there are a few places….well you know…
Why, on some of your rides do you set your bike upside-down at camp?
Thanx
