@@JakeLuke308 Well our original idea was to link a ride up with Hood, St. Helens, and Adams. There are some logistical challenges with this, you need a good weather window and you have to go early enough that hood is still in but adams is still accessible. Other ideas have involved rainier or something in the north cascades!
Looks great nice to combine the bikepacking with hiking can't wait wait for this looks epic. Oh ya and sorry I didn't comment on the last video life has been hectic but loved the name on the last video. Brilliant
Hey! Yes it is a peak designs capture clip. I’d say generally I really like it. Some say the best camera is the one you have on you, I’d say the best camera is the one you will actually end up using! I’ve tried other systems and find there is too much faffing around so I don’t stop and shoot. I can stop and start shooting within seconds with the capture clip! There are three cons/annoyances that come to mind… 1. You’ve got to be wearing a backpack and if you’re lugging around a big camera it can put weird pressure on your shoulder. So basically I do all my rides now with a backpack which kind of sucks. 2. I’ve had the camera pop up and hit me in the face / chin before depending on the terrain and how it situated on the shoulder strap. This is very rare. (And I’ve ridden on some rough stuff with it) 3. Sometimes it gets a bit jammed up and it’s hard to take off or reclip. Doesn’t happen that often. Overall it’s totally worth it for me! I’ve thought about doing a video on my gear and how I carry it…. Let me know if that’s something you’d be into.
Hey Levi, it just so happens that Rob and I are out in the southwest right now. It really depends a lot on the route you decide to do. If your spending a lot of time on mixed surfaces and sand id run wider tires. For this trip I am running 2.6 Dissectors. I probably could have gone for something less aggressive but it’s working fine. I think the sweet spot is somewhere between 2.3 and 2.6. If I were on more tarmac I’d go with Vittoria mezcals 2.35. I think you can get those in 2.6 which would also be a good option. Hope this helps!
@@pnwbikepacking awesome! thx for the tips. stoked to hear about your current trip on the channel. I'll be in Tucson and Page for a month each (feb and march), so if either of you end up back in the area and need a place to crash, feel free to reach out
@@pnwbikepacking haven't fully decided but probably something down in sonoita, some version of the grand staircase loop, as well as the cedar mesa loop. There're also a bunch of BLM roads I see in Grand Staircase, so I want to explore them on overnighters or day rides. lmk if you have overlapping plans!
Truly the only channel I absolutely look forward to watching every post and video!! Can’t wait...
That means a lot Doug! Thanks man!
It's quite interesting watching the evolution of YT channels. Mixing the modes of transportation while mixing the video in post. ;) Can't wait
What a channel!!! Simply love it. The adventures, the duo, the editing… Can’t stop watching. Thank u for the escape
Thanks for the kind words Sebastian! Let’s hope there is lots more to come
I'm verrrrrry interested. Love to see the cross over of these types of trips!
Teaser indeed! Looking forward to this one!
Fantastic idea Chris & Rob! Friends & I got into mountain biking to get to further cliffs in a day. You set it to a bigger scale however.
Thanks for watching Jason. I’m hoping for an even bigger scale next year!
@@pnwbikepacking Are you thinking Mt. Hood or Rainer? that's about the only things bigger out there.

@@pnwbikepacking That is enthusiastic. The North Cascades offer a level of difficulty all their own. Best of luck.
Nice! I’m glad that you two combine different adventures!
Me too! Now the goal is to try and combine climbing, rafting, and cycling!!! ahh! too much gear!
@@pnwbikepacking 🥵 too much! 😂
Great teaser, can't wait, love your vids!
Thanks Chris!

Nice build up....looking forward to it!
Thanks Julie! Great job taking the first step in getting your channel started!
Freaking Sweet! 🎉
Thanks for watching Torin
Whoa can't wait!!!
Darn! Another teaser. Well lets me head to the beer store for beer and chips. Take care, Al
Hopefully I get full video out shortly! Sometimes these teasers are really fun for me to make. Thanks for watching.
This is gonna be good ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Any orange spheres about? Indian Heaven.
Gear question: the camera clip on your pack strap; is that a Peak Design? Do you like it? Any problems with it? Great videos by-the-way! 🎬

@@pnwbikepacking Yes, I'd love to see a video about your gear and how you make your videos.
@@pnwbikepacking Thanks for the info. I’d love to see some behind the scenes stuff. Gear porn is always a good thing! 🎬
hey! I'm curious to know what tires you run for trips to the southwest. any suggestions?
