    "You can tell its an aspen, because of the way it is." That is my favorite line from any video ever, and I love pulling on the tourists I see on the chairlift.

      Types of fun are subjective but at the same time universal. Just remember that Type 3 fun exists too! No fun at all 😂
      It’s sometimes best to just accept that you’re having a type 3 kind of day and get through it!!

      Type 3 fun: You need at least a year to appreciate it.

    5:17 those are not claw marks, that is where elk have been rubbing the velvet of their antlers. Bears have five claws, so you'd see that, and it would be at about 2m up the tree, and it wouldn't be an aspen.

    A few years ago my brother and his crew, and my crew met up in Algonquin to do a 20km canoe/portage trip over a long weekend. There was an .. incident .. with my team and I had to drive someone to the nearest town, leaving my brother and his team to head out to try to score the best backcountry site (first come, first serve). I gave him a GMRS radio and we hoped we'd find each other.
    By the time we got under way (calling every hour on the hour), they must have been 5-10km ahead of us. No contact. We kept pressing forward, but our hopes were fading that we'd spend the weekend together. Eventually we got lost trying to find the final portage, and were about to give up. The sun was fading, and I poured over maps, when I saw what I was sure was the portage trail. We got back in our canoe and turned a corner, and there it was. 800 meters later, we emerged and I made one final call on the radio, expecting static. But, suddenly I heard his voice "holy shit you're alive!"
    What a rush. :) We got the coordinates of their campsite, and an hour later were pulling the canoe up to their roaring campfire.
    A tough day of uncertainty evolved into an epic weekend.

    You guys kill it! Always great content. Those marks on the trees are actually rubbings from antlers done by deer, elk, or moose. Usually done when they are trying to get the felt off on their antlers.

      @gouyleonard8711 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Same than Le Mimsey: got the older slash 2020 with an aluminium frame. I did the Chamonix-Zermatt traverse with this bike (6 days of bikepacking in the alps with food for 2 days max). It wasn't an issue at all (as long as you manage to be as light as possible). Only problem I can think about would be to bikepack with a seatbag on this bike: the big wheels and the travel of the bike would make it almost impossible.

    I don't know what chain ring you guys are running, but so many stock bikes come with 32 or even 34 tooth. I recommend trying a 28t - with a 10t cog on a 29" wheel it is enough to get up to speed (with bike parks being an exception maybe), and that 28x51/52 is nice and easy on the climbs ;)
