  • We go over 3 completely different bike-packing setups that we used while completing the Fly Fishing Sufferfest (linked at end of video). Whether you bike is new or old, it is likely that you can outfit it to go on some grand adventures. Hit up your local bike shop and bring your ride in to get some bags and accessories that fit just right. I hope this video helps you prepare for some radical gravel riding!

    Oh holy hell I felt the, "I just told too many people I would do it and then I had to" - that's how I ended up biking cross country.

      I've fallen into that self-made trap too. Watching Itchy Boots (moto adventure rider, ridden various small cc bikes all around the world) and really despising the place i currently live at, is aiding and abetting the above-mentioned trap. I'll be scouting out Tacoma/South Puget Sound area for a new place to call home.

    I love how chill the both of you sound. “You know, just get your stuff and then ur good to go.”

    Great part about bikepacking is you really don't need a "bikepacking" bike, you just need a bike with good enough tires and the ability to affix all your stuff to the frame. Go wild!

    I've heard people say that you should never tell people about your plans, because there's this sort of self-affirming thing that happens in your brain where if you talk about it enough it almost feels like you've already done it. Like, the "promise" that you are definitely going to do it is somehow "enough" I guess....
    Sounds like for you (and me) it's the opposite. If you tell a bunch of people, then you HAVE to do it otherwise you look like an idiot or whatever.

    Cool run down of the bikes and gear. Did you make the switch to full frame on your cameras? Thought you were a gh5 shooter?

      Thanks Ron! Yeah I retired the GH5. I went full canon and shoot with the R5 and C70. 4k120p and RF glass is a game changer

    First dude sounded lifeless 😞
    Whatever setup you go with, everyone has a saddlebag and handlebar bag. Some either frame bags, some two fork bags instead, I use a small backpack (but don’t tour in the summer).
    Minimal gear minimal weight. One bag for wet stuff and raingear like tarp and bicycle poncho, the rest is trivial. Top tube bag holds snacks. Stuff near your cockpit should be needed for quick access.
    I like the one first dude’s idea of one big bottle and one small one. Stop to refill once in a while. You can invest in a good insulated bottle for the one exposed to the sun that way.
    Have at least two ways of holding your handlebars to rest your wrists. An aero bar is good for me, even if I do a lot of singletrack, because it at least helps hold my handlebar bag better.
    A stabilizer for the saddlebag is nice also, on which I used two water bottle holders.
