Let's see Duzer if I can squeeze out any gearhead details about John's Blackborow & new Carver Ti bike.😄 Merry Christmas to you & Mom. Ride safe brother, phil
I'm here from Duzer's channel. I work at the Boulder Colorado Post office and have helped Duzer before and have run into him on the trails. You have your own style and even the way you film Mira is different. You get more of Mira's personality. Enjoyed you on Duzer's channel now I'm a fan of yours.
It just doesn't seem fair how quickly we lose our bike stamina when we take off for a little while. So quick to lose it huh? Looks like a great track and wonderful views John. Thanks for sharing it with us. Atb, Tony
@@OmniTierra step by step! Roma no se construyó en un dia😊 anyhow, so far, so good! I'm pretty sure you will get more views and subscribers I really like your stuff🤟🤟
Mira is the best dog ever. Terrific video; amazing views and now we know what Mira is thinking, at least most of the time. Why she wants to chase bears still a mystery...
Funny you had to put water in Mira's food to make her eat, and I often have to put food in Zora's water to make her drink. She's like "Water, no. Treats, yes. Why did you put that in there?! Now I have to drink all this..." Get her near a muddy creek, though, and she won't stop drinking lol.
I really enjoyed seeing Banff and it such a bucket list park for many Americans. I would love some links to your power set up, that you use to recharge the Wahoo. And the Muria thought bubles are so infectious," I love you dad," just melts my heart.
Hi Joseph, Thanks for your support and kind comments. Yes Banff and are is a beautiful part of 🇨🇦. There are so many other parts of the country that are equally as beautiful 🤩. Eventually we will show you every part of our setup and how we use it. Of course all the places we go to and the people we meet along the way. 💕🤗🌎🐕
@@OmniTierra I think Canadians feel the same way about our National Parks too. They are deffiently something special and getting out there is always worth it. I was wondering more about your set up because I am working on getting into bikepacking slowly. Keep the awesome content coming.
Mira and John you put a smile on my face, I did not seen the video until today 28th Sept., (I guess I forgot to activate the bell or youtube forgot to send me the notification). But it's nice to watch your adventure after the brutal news of last week. Tail winds!
Thanks Phil. It definitely had me thinking about why I travel and would want to stop and place a camera on the trail. For now you can expect to see many more videos about our dogpacking adventures.
Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a comment. I love when people from outside of North America make comments. We hope we make our way to your part of the world eventually
So good to see you on your adventures! I’ve just started training Kinza for some rides…trailer this year for her puppy training. Basket next year. We're on rail trails tho…much easier on the old bod…
Hey John, just subbed after following you & Mira from Ryan's channel.Thank you for sharing such beautiful & inspiring videography along your route. I have been tormenting & teasing Duzer to give us gearheads a briefing on your Blackborow & new custom Carver Ti bike. Duzer replied.." C"mon Phil, you know we are not a gear channel, wink;) and then his link goes back to the terrific Priority 600x with Pinion. We need John Gear talk,lol. You know brother, all the juicy tech details, what brand racks you use, panniers, etc. You have deep, empirical experience. It is very inspiring to see a man on a relatively heavy cargo style bike, with a dog on board, negotiate such terrain and accomplish what you do. Duzer too. Any info on your two bikes, kit, and load out, along with reviews would be welcome. Be safe John.Give Mira a scratch behind the ears for me, ride safe, and always smile Supernova Style.Happy Holidays,brother,phil
There's something about bears 🐻. My cat had no interest in tv or other animals but whenever a documentary came on showing bears she got up and sat in front of the tv. I always wondered if perhaps she had a past life as a bear. 🧘♂️🎋📿Those scalloped mountains 🏔 were spectacular. 🏕🚴👍☮️🌞🌟🐾💕
Love your stuff. I will be doing this portion of the GDMBR next summer perhaps. Just curious where you typically camp in bear country. You probably want to be off the trail but not too far in case something happens. How do you pick your spot? P.S. This topic could be a great stand-alone video (or a portion of an existing video). There are so many variable to consider.... thanks!
Hey John!.. New channel - love it! So you don't find a + tire gives enough squidge with a carbon fork?.. getting a new-to-me '17 Fargo next week and it'll be my first time rigid in decades (though I often lockout on road).. wondering if I'll regret not having a few inches of travel.. I certainly remember wishing I had suspenders in the Atlas many years ago..
Hi Adam, I’ve ridden many years with a rigid fork and it worked fine. For me initially it was a maintenance concern. But I’m really enjoying the @wren_sports fork. It definitely weighs more than a rigid fork but the comfort level and enjoyment have been increased enough to make it worthwhile. Also the maintenance is very easy and the adjustment is super simple. The main thing is to get out there and get riding🤗🐕⛺️🤘
@@OmniTierra Yup, I'm champing at the bit!.. you seem to have slowed a little (cos it's warmer further south?) so I may still manage to catch up to join you for a bit.. I'll leave Seattle in 10 days, Moab in a fortnight, Flagstaff/Phoenix in 3 weeks? When do you think you'll cross into Baja?
These first videos are really a shakedown for riding longterm again and for filming on the road.That part is very new for us. Our ride south through North America starts next weeks. To see us on the GDMBR from northern Montana to Colorado head over to @duzer . If you haven't already seen Ryan's videos you are in for a real treat. 🤩
I would say her body language is very clear,at least to me. Most dog owners would say that about their dogs I bet. But if she lacks spring jumping into the basket then... I definitely make sure not to over do it and use the lead to save her energy for when needed. Thanks for your questions John & Sheila
hi john..........can i ask about your sleepingmat?? it looks like something i did see on wish for not to much money ..........is yours expensive [brand}??.......does it work??.......does it isolate, or do you use something else when it is cold??.........thanxx for your trouble and great video's
@@OmniTierra thanxx i read in the reviews on the site that isolation is pretty ok, i guess making them as lite and compact to pack as much as possible is sort off a tradeoff for less sturdy .........i hear people use tubeless tire fluid in them to make 'm less prone to leaking, do you have any experience with that??
I love you dad! Haha!! Love the Mira thought bubbles
I didn’t realize she had so much to say🤪🐕
When are you meeting up with them? You’ve got to be riding part of this with them, right?
Sir Ryan I'am also your subscriber
Let's see Duzer if I can squeeze out any gearhead details about John's Blackborow & new Carver Ti bike.😄 Merry Christmas to you & Mom. Ride safe brother, phil
WowserzZz 🐻🐻🇨🇦🇨🇦
After seeing you on Duzer’s channel, I’m so excited to see you start your own.
Thanks Susan. We have a high standard of meet. So many talented people sharing stories on this platform. @duzer is a good example of that 👍😎
Another great video. Keep them coming. Love Mira and John
More to come!
I came over to your channel from Ryan's referral and I definitely subscribed. Between you and Ryan's channel I can fill the gaps.
Totally awesome. Beautiful
And another great video. Love you Mira 🐕
Soundtrack is amazing
Happy you like. Quality tunes always make a difference 🤘
Always so inspirational! Bears are not something I look forwared to seeing when out cycling in the bush.
We’ve always been fortunate to see them at a distance
Nice scenery.
Thank you for your awsome videos!
Thanks Carrie. 🙏. We’ll try to keep it up
Like Susan, I saw you at Ryan's channel and I'm excited to watch your videos too. Greetings to Mira and have fun!!!
That's the first time I heard Mira bark.
We are like that way we only talk when we think it’s important🤔🐕💕
John: “Thats a bear” 😆
Mira: “i can take him”
She's quick!
My bikepacking dog and I love watching these videos!!! You and Mira are so inspiring. Awesome video quality, too! Thank you for bringing us along! :-)
Thanks Lillian. Very happy you are joining us on this adventure. I'm sure there will be lots of surprises along the way.

It’s mostly because of work. The food is 🤬. We’ll be good in a couple minutes 😎🐕
Greaaaat!! I was waiting for this!! Amazing views in that trail. Beautiful! Thanks John and Mira!
Just point the camera 🎥 around here. Still lots of room to improve 🤪
@@OmniTierra step by step! Roma no se construyó en un dia😊 anyhow, so far, so good! I'm pretty sure you will get more views and subscribers I really like your stuff🤟🤟
Mira is the best dog ever. Terrific video; amazing views and now we know what Mira is thinking, at least most of the time. Why she wants to chase bears still a mystery...
She doesn't want to chase coyotes or deer so that's a plus😝🐕
It's amazing that you know what Mira is thinking! Haha. Thanks for sharing!
I know right 🐕🤔
Good to see you on your adventure john. Nice to see the beauty of Banff and the Elk.
Ya it’s a beautiful part of the country
Thanks again - can't wait for more! ❤️
More to come! 😎
We are about to cross the border into the US. So lots more footage coming.
John you're like a machine on that bike.. 👏🏾 Ultra impressive 👏🏾 I love how Mira put on her big dog bark for the bear 🐻 brilliant
Funny you had to put water in Mira's food to make her eat, and I often have to put food in Zora's water to make her drink. She's like "Water, no. Treats, yes. Why did you put that in there?! Now I have to drink all this..." Get her near a muddy creek, though, and she won't stop drinking lol.
They are really funny sometimes. That's why we luv'em 🤗🐕
Que linda mira la perrita! Thanks for the vid!
De nada amigo 🤘🐕
Great stuff. Good to see you both again.
Thanks James 🙏. Lots more to come
Amazing scenery! Love the video.
Very happy to hear that. It’s a beautiful part of the country for sure.
Great video! Looking forward to watching all your adventures! Cheers.
Thanks Sam. We hope you join us for this big adventure. It's going to be a big one.
Beautiful captured backdrops, enjoyable to view your journey and fun.
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍
Dana,
Happy to hear you enjoyed it so much more coming
Glad to see you and Mira are putting out videos! Happy trails and don't work her too hard! 😉
She was faking 🤔🐕
Good to see John and Mira!
Happy you found us
In 2019 we did a family vacation to Calgary, Banff, and Vancouver. Simply amazing country up there in Canada. Beautiful.
That’s a lot of the best places 👍
Nice video! Great start to the adventure!
Thank you! We are learning so much from these early videos. Thanks for joining us on this adventure. 🙏
Love seeing you and Mira on your adventure with some spectacular views. Luckily we don't have bears in Australia 😀
🐨 ? You have everything else deadly 🤔
Breathtaking short Doc ... 🚴♂️🐕❤
Thanks Paul. We hope it only gets better in terms of filming but we in Western Canada all you have to do is remember to remove the lens cap 🙃
Great video!! Can’t wait for a review of that great new bike
We will definitely give you our thoughts after it has had some abuse on the trail.😋So far so good.
she look like border collie? 😁 amazing dog🐶 😁
Border/ Heeler cross. Both parents are working dogs. Smart and strong
@@OmniTierra yeah, really, working dogs are really smart breed of dogs.

The edits are Frank. As are the thought bubbles 💭
Very cool to view your videos on your own personal channel, John - well done. Liked and subscribed. Happy Trails and Happy New Year to you and Mira.
Thanks Sean. That really helps us out
Damn those are awesome views.
We really live in a beautiful part of the world. Lots more to see on this trip

It’s my first time seeing mira barking, she never did that in all of duzer video.
She rarely barks. It usually takes other dogs to get her started with barking.
I'm trying to get my dog "Rex" to watch along with me ! Really enjoying these episodes ! Ride On !!!!!
Mira only watches when dogs bark on screen 🐕🤪
So good to see you on your adventures! I’ve just started training Kinza for some rides…trailer this year for her puppy training. Basket next year. We're on rail trails tho…much easier on the old bod…
Rail trails are cool. They can take to to some really unique places that roads and other trails don't. Have fun with the dogpacking.
Hey John, just subbed after following you & Mira from Ryan's channel.Thank you for sharing such beautiful & inspiring videography along your route.

Hey Phil I am happy to dig into some of that tech detail down the road a little bit.
@@OmniTierra Thanks John. Looking forward to any and all future vids.

Yeah the Canadian Rockies are definitely a beautiful range🤗💕🇨🇦🐕
Mira is just an amazing dog. Is she your first traveling buddy dog?
She is.
Melan was my first 🤗💕🐕

Nice....but what is the plan for the trip and regular videos/updates...
The plan is to have regular updates from the trail as we ride around the 🌎. Still some logistical hurtles but that’s the goal 🤗🐕⛺️🏜
Hey John!.. New channel - love it! So you don't find a + tire gives enough squidge with a carbon fork?.. getting a new-to-me '17 Fargo next week and it'll be my first time rigid in decades (though I often lockout on road).. wondering if I'll regret not having a few inches of travel..

Every video is one day? Did you ride the whole Great divide from Canada to Mexico this summer?
These first videos are really a shakedown for riding longterm again and for filming on the road.That part is very new for us. Our ride south through North America starts next weeks.
To see us on the GDMBR from northern Montana to Colorado head over to @duzer . If you haven't already seen Ryan's videos you are in for a real treat. 🤩
Looks like you are riding a pinion gear bike like Duzer!! What brand bike is that?
Not in these videos. This is a @salsacycles Blackborow. No longer produced but it’s a great machine
How do you know when Mira is tired and wants to ride rather than run? Same question regarding her goggles.
I would say her body language is very clear,at least to me. Most dog owners would say that about their dogs I bet.
But if she lacks spring jumping into the basket then...
I definitely make sure not to over do it and use the lead to save her energy for when needed.
Thanks for your questions John & Sheila
how do you store your food when you ride in alberta. lots of bears where i live in golden, just wonder whats your approach

John, what is that medallion you are wearing around your neck?
That is a mount for the Insta 360 Go 2

In this video it was from MEC.🇨🇦. I’ve kind of given up for a little bit on inflatable mats because I fill them full of holes.🤪
@@OmniTierra thanxx i read in the reviews on the site that isolation is pretty ok, i guess making them as lite and compact to pack as much as possible is sort off a tradeoff for less sturdy .........i hear people use tubeless tire fluid in them to make 'm less prone to leaking, do you have any experience with that??
What kind of dog is she?
