Dutch Forest Bikepacking | Off Grid & Surviving a Thunderstorm
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ย. 2024
- While things have changed quite a bit this year being stationary, adventure is still calling me to go out. Back on the bike, away from the internet and immersed in nature, just the way I like it. One of the most beautiful stretches I have ridden in my home country, with lots of off-road and fantastic forest and other natural scenery. I was lucky to be warned about a serious thunderstorm rolling in. Still it presented quite the challenge to stay safe…

Long time no see. Welcome back. We love you. Greetings from Italy.
🙏🏼 It has been a while indeed! Best wishes, E&M

Am I the only one to ask why, in the middle of a deluge, you didn't set out your pot, your cup, and your water bottles, to catch some of the water that Mother Nature was providing for you so you wouldn't get thirsty?
Hi! It's nice to see you and your adventure 😊 miss Maudie as well☺️
Maybe next time the little lady will go with you ?? It’s not the same unless you two guys are together 🤗
But still great video mate and thanks for sharing 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Interesting pedals, as you showed us in cross-section. What are they?
They are PedalSquad pedals. Very nice, I like them a lot!
@@WheelstoWander I'll check it out. Thanks!
If you ever happen to tour in Sweden, a trick that usually works if you need water is to find a cemetery. There is nearly always some tap somwhere in a cemetery. Maybe it works in other coountries too, but it sure works here in Sweden! And nice to see you back!
Beautiful trip with impressive footage. I would not have expected such large forests and wastelands in the Netherlands. Nice to see you back!
Thank so much! Happy to hear you enjoyed it 😊 All the very best!
Nice to see you. Your videos are getting rare but I fully appreciate your circumstances. Small rides are just as good as world travel. Life is what you make it, have a good one😊
Thank you Robert! Small rides indeed are awesome. Hoping to do some more... Best wishes!
Thanks for taking me along. I enjoy short get-away trips close to home.
You guys have been suck an amazing and inspirational resource to encourage me to cycle around the world. Planning doing the Pamir next summer. Cheers for posting
Fantastic! Have lots of fun in the Pamir. Thanks & Best wishes!
Thanks for sharing. Really nice to see you can still do a nature trip in the very populated country. I am very curious about the route you took. Can you share a map?
Jaaa, graag! Ben ook zo benieuwd hoe je 4 dagen in onze natuur kunt fietsen. En heel leuk om je weer te zien.
Glad you're back.
Thanks 😊 All the Best
I am have Porblems since so much year with every saddle with my "sitting bones" now i see your saddle. Please, please tell me whats saddle is this!
Great video Eric, nice story telling, smooth editing.
I can totally relate to the strain of never-ending traveling and the need to plant some viable roots somewhere, I myself chose to settle to La Réunion Island a few years ago and renovate/build a home here, of course it drains almost all of my resources and leaves little to traveling and outdoors adventures for now but hopefully in a few years time I will be done, debt free and have a nice place to go back to when I resume bike traveling!
We miss your videos, take care guys!
Beautiful film as always! I am watching it from my tent on my own 4-day outing (I also try to keep screens to a minimum on bike trips, but a Wheels to Wander video must be watched! 😂) I thought of you as I inspected the trees around before setting up my tent. Thank you for the years of inspiration and wisdom!
Leuk om weer een video van jullie te zien! Best spannend lijkt me, wildkamperen op de Veluwe. Wij hebben dit jaar voor t eerst gekampeerd in Duitsland, ook wild. Geweldig als het lukt, vond ik! Tot de volgende video, hopelijk snel maar ik snap ook dat het gewone leven door gaat. Succes beide!!
A wonderful video to watch. Thanks for making it. 10/10!
I cycled through the Netherlands and I have to admit it is a beautiful country, but I found it somehow claustrophobic! There were people just about eve-ry-where(!?!?), it was very difficult to find a place to pitch your tent unnoticed and recently I heard someone had the ridiculous idea to release wolves in the most beautiful nature parks of the Netherlands!? Is it common for Dutch cyclists to go into the woods for a wild camping weekend? I heard it is strictly forbidden in the Netherlands to camp outside the regular camping spots!?
Help me. You are in the neatherlands, right? There are wolves?
Ive always enjoyed your videos ove rthe past year or so. I may have missed it, but did you do any video on your bike drive gearing system? Im just curious to know the geqr ratios you had on your bike. As I am looking to do some touring which will involve some hill climbs. Currently i think my gear ratios are not going to be adequate and id like some comparison of yours as it seemed reqsonable.
Hello, could you say me who is the provider of yours pédales? Thanks. Christophe
Great to see you are still riding the same bike. That's a true example of sustainability.
Thanks for the video
Great video! Wow, that was some thunderstorm! Beautiful forests! Thanks for taking us along.
"Long time no see!!!"...,nice peacefull video.,thanks!(U guys stay safe).
Looking great! Intense in tents! :D Really makes me itch to go out again soon, weather permitting... Greetings from Haarlem!
Glad to see you back. Nice adventure and another well done video. Glad you made it thru the storm with very little problems. Thanks for the video and take care, Al
The greatest thing about bikepacking is the freedom you have to ride. When you get tired, you can melt into the forest or a meadow and rest put up a hammock and tent, and spend the night. If it rains a little, then it's perfect sleeping.
That really was an intense storm, I was glad I was watching from a warm bed😉Awesome video Eric, amazing nature👌Its great to see another WtW adventure even if its just a short one😊
Mooi in beeld gebracht. Sommige plekken kwamen me bekend voor :)
More sustainable lifestyle -> Are you planning to start a family? 🙂
Hey thanks for sharing hope your both ok👌👍
Always great videos
Thanks Eric
Nice to see you back. Missed you.
Thank you for the kind words 😊 All the Best
Great to see you back on the road. Where was that forest?
Thanks Eric! Always great to see ya
Where were you riding? I visited the Nederlands a year ago and rode all around Gelderland. It was beautiful, but the landscape was nothing like what you were riding through. Thanks for the new video!
In one part of the video he was riding near 'radio kootwijk', a place in the Veluwe forest, also in Gelderland. I didn't recognise most places though.
So wonderful to find a video posted from you this morning....you've been missed! Awesome adventure, enjoyed every moment of it as usual. BTW - Personally getting caught out in severe thunderstorms is one of the things that I dislike most when I'm on my wilderness adventures and I don't think I'll ever get used to that. Well done on surviving the night though, I'm certainly pleased that you did. Once again, great to see you posting content again, thanks for taking me along and I look forward to your next journey. Best wishes M8 !
🙏🏼 Happy to be posting! They are difficult to get used to, I feel quite vulnerable underneath a bit of cloth in a thunderstorm. Hope you are well and wishing you all the best!!
Eric! nice to see you, beautiful footage and music, love to Maudi............
Happy to hear that 😊 I will and all the best!

Hi. Where is that in Holland? Looks very like our New Forest in UK.
This is more or less in the centre. 'Veluwe' and 'Utrechtse Heuvelrug'. Hmm, I must come over and explore the New Forest as well, been wanting to do that for years... All the best!
Which part of the Netherlands is this? Keen on hopping over from the uk doing some riding there next year
This is more or less in the centre. 'Veluwe' and 'Utrechtse Heuvelrug'. Happy trails!!
mooie vidéo ! blij u terug te zien 😉
What type of steer and handlebars do you have? And do you often use the extra handlebars?
It is a Passchier Gump handlebar. The small inner bars are really nice and I use them quite a lot, especially on straight sections.
Oh, it’s so good to see you back! Miss seeing Maude too. Maybe next trip?
Thanks 😊 Maudi is doing well, hopefully we'll get to do a trip together soon... Bets wishes!
Amazing! Enjoy!

My cross Apt neighbors young boys (whom are hispanic) and IMO are also spoiled rotten; they have caused Mayhem ever since they moved into where I reside in Las Vegas.
light tarps made with technical textiles are really bad...You need old army poncho textiles to keep you dry all the time.
