It’s easy to forget you’ve not got a camera person filming you. It must take ages to keep retracing your steps. Your vlogs are brilliant Simon and better than most mainstream TV!
Yeah I was thinking exactly the same thing. Like some of the shots where he's crossing the road or riding away, and the camera is still there filming everything as he disappears around the corner. Would be great if it was a drone and you can just call it back to your location, or have it in follow mode overhead.
@@gustonzimasheen yes the drone is good for that. Just watch out if it gets a low battery and starts to return to home - that’ll be where you started, not where you are.
Of the three bushcrafters who've recently reviewed these e-bikes, you're the only one who actually went on a long journey with it - not just messing about around camp! Thanks for the useful consumer information. 👍 No offence to the other two, big fan of them both, just wanted to give props where its due. 🖖
My husband, Martin started watching your videos a couple of years back and dragged me in with Maggie. Martin passed away in August but I've carried on watching. We had a running joke that you, Richard outdoors and Andy from Kent Survival all lived with vegetarians so you made me laugh tonight!
This is the most realistic and grounded video of bikepacking/outdoors activity. Almost every youtuber has super sleek expensive all set perfect destination, equipment etc to showcase how easy it is but it's really not supposed to be easy it's outdoors you're alone in the wilderness and for new comers this is a reality check video.
I know I repeat myself over and over Simon, however it is hard to come up with different words to try to explain how much I enjoy your vlogs and appreciate your efforts in bringing us along. It is 30 to 40 minutes of reality that I truly just sit back and relax and experience through your camera lens. Again ATB as always a great video.
Simon makes some of the finest outdoor videos ontye whole of TH-cam. The combination of amazing cooking, bushcraft, hiking and wild camping is superb and an absolute joy to watch. Production, narration, music is perfect 👌
I found your channel about a week ago and I've been binge watching your videos none stop! Glad to see another one uploaded. Great video and stay safe out there
it has happened to most of us who follow Simon - there is a "magical" down home excellence of sharing he puts into his vlogs that is beyond the "norm" and very enjoyable. atb
Yep, same story here. Once you find the channel you watch the lot, and then eagerly await the new ones. Then you watch the back catalogue again while you wait.
Seems very much like my idea of a utility bike! AND your review is one of the best reviews I've seen sofar. Honest and straight, no goofing around nonsence plus a real life use of the product. Well done lad!
The E bike is really cool, but what I really enjoy is the way you show great scenery and architecture and you are very informative about the history of the places you visit, I’m really pleased to be able to go along on your adventures with you keep them coming and have a good one.
So exciting to see a fellow ebike backpacker, as a gent in my mid sixties ive been struggling a bit wild camping with a heavy backpack , my ebike has made it so much easier and a lot more fun
Being a retired chef, living near Montreal and being both a steak fan and having access to salmon runs, yellow perch and smoked sturgeon I always appreciate the meals that you and Andrew make. I have camped all of my life and love it. Sadly my days of riding a bike are gone lol...Props from Canada xo
I’ve got big knobbly tires on my similar bike I still have to be careful because the rear wheel drive tends to give a front wheel skid in the sludge ,but it’s great fun and at 69 gets me some well needed exercise with my buggered knees. Great vid Simon as always👍
Came for the bike review, stayed for one of the most magical films I've ever had the good fortune to watch. An absolute pleasure to experience this trip with you, and I seriously envy your cooking skills. Subscribed.
I've walked and cycled Peddar's way several times! It feels like you've gone back in time to the early 1900's and are miles away from civilization! It's amazing and I throughly recommend it!
@@ek-nzThe easiest way, is to miss out the first 10 miles, catch a train to either Thetford or Brandon and pick up the trail from there! Then do as Simon did, go on to Kings Lynn and catch a train home!
I love watching it! Appreciate the advice on the best place to start - now I just need to cover the thousands of miles between Thetford and New Zealand :)
Great to see the Peddars Way again. The first Simon video I watched after discovering the channel was one of your walks on the Peddars. This is my favorite YT channel; every episode is worth multiple views as they are jam-packed with great content; even after getting dumped on your arse, you still have an upbeat, never-say-die attitude.
Started watching because of the thump nail just to have a quick look and straight away it’s oh it’s Simon, give it a thumbs up make a cup of tea and settle in, I know full well you never disappoint. Thanks Simon.
Camp steak dinner is superior to the finest steakhouse! We will be watching to see Simon work his magic when modding this E-bike to perfect it into the perfect trail machine. I would prefer a center hub design. Nevertheless, this machine should be more than enough for local running on our less-than-perfect roads and be handy in all sorts of emergencies except deep flooding during typhoon season. This was a great ride and a wonderful showcase of Fiido T1's abilities. Thank you, Simon, for the post
Your channel should go to the moon with subscriptions, such quality content every single time. Also such a soothing, positive personality you have. It is very relaxing and entertaining to watch!
Your content, videography, and edit skills are second to none. I have enjoyed your videos for over two years now, rendering conventional TV broadcasts useless.
A great way to do the Pedders Way. Well done on remembering the knife and fork. That does indeed look like a proper feast. I also have to indulge in steaks only occasionally as Mrs Timec is pescatarian as well. 😊
Thank you so much taking us along but PLEASE BE CAREFUL 🙏🏼 truly we jjst love going along with you ….we could do with less camera views if it means you’re safe and enjoying yourself ok . They battery was amazing considering how often you double back to get your camera ! You deserve an award for your work and remaining authentic grounded and kind in all times I aspire to be like you sir . God bless
Kind of funny i was just watching you walk the Peddar's way a few days ago. I always like the Peddar's way and Norfolk costal path videos, they are so relaxing to me!!! Thanks for the videos!! I am a Big Fan!!!
Hello Simon, I liked the video very much. I too enjoy camping the same way; under a tarp hours away from home; with good food, relaxing with a good coffee to end the night. I really enjoy the solitude of getting away from it all.
At 34:27 Simon shows the sign when entering the town of Kings Lynn and that it is a Hanseatic town. Had to look it up; there are always interesting little factoids and gems in Simon's videos.
I was gripped by this vid. Talk about a perpetual cliffhanger - will the battery hold out... Your enthusiasm and camping know-how is infectious. Nice one 👍
Simon--I have parkensons-- so I do not get around any more--I love your hard work--you and Andy give me me something to look forward to--thank you young man--I am a fan for life
I just bought the only one I have sat on, a Sondors Step. I tend to about 8-11 mph & 160 watts. I'm excited to find what my range will be with a full camping load. Very good of you to go the extra mile & do the video productions. I'm sure it is hours of work. Yakima, WA USA
“Obviously, I just fancied another sit down, didn’t I.” Whoa, man, I still like your electric bike. Seems to be the way of biking on trails; mud, leaves, gravel, grass and sand all conspire to make us, “sit down”, heh, heh, been there. Thanks for taking us along. Hope you and your bike escaped injury….from east Tennessee. Watching again, “What more could you ask for?” I wonder, would a good heater pack, the kind that last about 10 hours, tied to the battery, at the foot of your sleeping bag, might serve you well. It is really handy to have such a good public transport system in your country. Thanks again.
I get the feeling you and I would be good friends. I think it's because you remind me so much of my old mate Mark (from Dublin). You look like him too. We cycled together across the Japan Alps years back. Great memories.
Love your Videos Simon,Me and my wife have been watching for over 2 years. We love all your content and especially your adventures. Your vlogs are better than anything on television by miles , authenticity and natural charisma.
Great video, as always. Glad to see you were able to finish the trip on your wheels instead of under them!🤣 Love that you show even the tumbles and mishaps.
For a relatively flat county (compared to many), the Peddars Way is quite demanding for both you and the bike so well done for showing it in all it’s glory. I’ve walking and camped along most of the Norfolk coast and would recommend it for anyone who likes turning the clock back!
A really great video Simon! What a beautiful country you live in. So much history! We have historical places here in the USA but it seems people here want to tear it all down. Nothing lasts very long here in our brief history. Someone always wants to tear it down and build a new strip mall or car wash. I hope to get over there one day and see your place it person. Keep up the great work Simon. We Americans love it! Cheers from South Carolina.
I like much yours videos, i remember when i was a child and camp with the boy scouts, and the firts premiss was let the place in better conditions that we recibe that, congrats simon!
You go to a lot of effort Simon. I really appreciate it. My brother has one of those very expensive off road heavy duty mountain ebikes . Comparing the two yours is like a toy, but it delivered The goods, so well done. That fire was quite lovely. Something spiritual about those glowing red embers.
I just bought myself an e-bike from Lectric. I absolutely love it! And I plan on doing some camping just as you did with mine. I can't go the range that you get, but I'm happy with what the bike has in it. I ride it every chance I get. Lol. Great stuff Simon, thank you!!!
Beautifully said. I'm sorry you feel so deeply distressed as to be that frozen state. I'm used to attack 'from within' in Qld Australia. I love the present grace of going to the TLM . My spirit soars. My heart is lifted. My closnes to Jesus is finally real. God bless you!!! 💗🇭🇲🐞. T.
Nice Job, people often do not realize how much extra work it is to film everything so you can bring us along for the ride. Thanks for sharing. I can certainly identify with the fall. I made a quick decision to cross the field to see what was burning, only to have a sit down as you stated. I forgot my tires had no tread after 10k miles and they were bald. I was reminded real quick LOL
Doing your own stunts on a bike this week, extreme weather endurance last...daniel craig retired..its time for simon..a bond in the wings. looked heavy that bike but what a great adventure. I fully expect a microlite and a union jack flag in next weeks' vid!! from youtube with love, you only fall twice. top man.
Fantastic video as always Simon! That bike looks great! Great way to travel mid distances to see more but still in a (sort of) quiet way. Your stealth camping looks awesome too. Nice work!
Easy to align the disc brake caliper by first loosening the caliper screws slightly so that the caliper can move sideways, then apply brake by pulling the lever and whilst holding the lever applied tightening the caliper screws again. I guess you figured that out on the trail. Nice stealth camp!
Outstanding post Simon, loved every minute of it. Better than tv. Well done, seriously great blog or whatever you call it. Subscribed for sure and shared.
Just love watching your videos Simon. You do a fantastic job of filming. The adventure, the apprehension re the battery and the scenery in this one left me not wanting it to end!! Kudos!
Another excellent video Simon. A thorough test for the electric treader, in which it seems to come out rather well. As age sneaks up on me I am contemplating one myself, but the price of them does put me off. A nice quiet overnight stop with some quality nosh! Cheers Al
What an impressive piece of kit and not too badly priced in my opinion. Shame you can’t attach a small solar panel to it to trickle charge it and gives you a little more juice. I remember that hill coming out of castle acre very well, it’s a killer on the legs. Great video as always 😊👍😊
I know that steak was good! We have Grill Mates Montreal Rub here in the USA! Watching you cook and eat that meal just about drove me completely mad with hunger and thirst. I was horribly ill for four days, and I am still recovering. Mashed potatoes sounded good to me, but my stomach said a Most decided, "No!" OW! Here's wishing you, Mrs. In the woods, your daughter and Maggie good health and great blessings!🫖❄️🤒📚🐈⬛🦖🖖
Don't worry about getting spit of your E_bike mine does it me all the time especially under power well mostly when under power . Thanks for sharing such beautiful country side ......ah the open space ....lucky man .
I appreciate your dedication to taking a cast iron cooking implement with you regardless of terrain or mode of transport 😁 thanks for sharing Simon hope all's great with u!
Really enjoyed joining you on your trip to the coast. Glad with the spills and thrills nothing received too much damage. Got to be said my fave part is the cooking and knocking a couple of well earned beers back . The ambience you create in your videos is total bliss . More Simon More ...
Another very nice video. Nice to see someone say something about an e bike, and actually get out and show it in action. Keep up the great work my friend and the great videos.
Great video very nice e-bike. Doing a LDP soon and this has confirmed that a tarp and bivvi rather than a tent will be my choice. Wednesday isn't Wednesday without Simon, thanks for uploading.
It’s easy to forget you’ve not got a camera person filming you. It must take ages to keep retracing your steps. Your vlogs are brilliant Simon and better than most mainstream TV!
Easier when you’re battery powered!
Yeah I was thinking exactly the same thing. Like some of the shots where he's crossing the road or riding away, and the camera is still there filming everything as he disappears around the corner. Would be great if it was a drone and you can just call it back to your location, or have it in follow mode overhead.
Was also thinking exactly the same thing - he puts in a shift making this stuff for sure 👌
Thank you Martin! 😁
@@gustonzimasheen yes the drone is good for that. Just watch out if it gets a low battery and starts to return to home - that’ll be where you started, not where you are.

ken has said everything i need to say.
What he said above with Knobs on😜
I agree. Simon maybe doesn’t realize how many of us live vicariously through his adventures.
I second that😂
There's no end to your talents Simon. Camping guru, cook, film maker......stuntman. Well done for not swearing on camera when you fell off.
That was an exceptional idea taking the battery into sleeping bag with you! Thank you for sharing. Ride On!

Thank you and welcome to the channel! 😁
I've been watching since the beginning, one of the best. Now I go back and rewatch and enjoy all over. Cheers
Fancied another sit down 😂😂😂😂 that tickled me 😄 great views as always Simon 👍🏾
Seems very much like my idea of a utility bike! AND your review is one of the best reviews I've seen sofar. Honest and straight, no goofing around nonsence plus a real life use of the product. Well done lad!
me encanto de principio a fin. que manera tan simple de disfrutar la vida montado en una eb, muy bonito video gracias por compartirlo.
Simon, when you adjust a caliper undo the bolts and hold the brake on as you do them up. This should self align the caliper. All the best. Jon
The E bike is really cool, but what I really enjoy is the way you show great scenery and architecture and you are very informative about the history of the places you visit, I’m really pleased to be able to go along on your adventures with you keep them coming and have a good one.

Yay! A new video is up 👍
I will Second That Emotion👍
Exactly my thought too! But i'm saving this for saturday morning with a nice cup of coffee 🙂

I have camped all of my life and love it. Sadly my days of riding a bike are gone lol...Props from Canada xo
Great video Simon! This is probably the only way that I will get to see the UK! Thanks for sharing your adventures!
I’ve got big knobbly tires on my similar bike I still have to be careful because the rear wheel drive tends to give a front wheel skid in the sludge ,but it’s great fun and at 69 gets me some well needed exercise with my buggered knees. Great vid Simon as always👍
There for a minute I thought we'd see Simon without a hat on, but he pulled a switch-er-roo...very smooth!! Great job as always Simon.
Absolutely fantastic e bike journey. Please do more of these ebike videos. I do alot of e bike trips in the Northwest US. Thanks from Seattle.
Agree
Where do you ride, Mike? I’m up in Everett and have a few bikepacking videos on my channel.

I only discovered your channel last week Simon. Great videos and relaxing. Look forward to chilling after work and watching this. 👌

First time watching your video, I enjoyed it, and I'm happy to see a real man enjoying a steak and beer online outdoors
At 34:27 Simon shows the sign when entering the town of Kings Lynn and that it is a Hanseatic town. Had to look it up; there are always interesting little factoids and gems in Simon's videos.
I was gripped by this vid. Talk about a perpetual cliffhanger - will the battery hold out... Your enthusiasm and camping know-how is infectious. Nice one 👍
Great work once again sir. That bike looks like it can go anywhere. We wouldn't expect you to crash on purpose for our benefit. Stay safe.
Simon--I have parkensons-- so I do not get around any more--I love your hard work--you and Andy give me me something to look forward to--thank you young man--I am a fan for life
Thank you Ron, I’m glad you’re enjoying them 👍
I just bought the only one I have sat on, a Sondors Step. I tend to about 8-11 mph & 160 watts. I'm excited to find what my range will be with a full camping load.

That fire was quite lovely. Something spiritual about those glowing red embers.
Love the outdoor cooking, especially that Steak! Looked awesome.
The hat switch at 12:41....!! superb.
I don’t normally watch these kind of videos, but I really enjoyed that. Makes me want to go on an adventure with you. Nice one! Great video 😎👍🏼
I just bought myself an e-bike from Lectric.
I absolutely love it! And I plan on doing some camping just as you did with mine. I can't go the range that you get, but I'm happy with what the bike has in it.
I ride it every chance I get. Lol.
Great stuff Simon, thank you!!!
No bickering, crying or moaning when you fell off the bike. And you know how to cook a steak. That's why I subscribed.
Thanks Simon. 🤗😘🙋♂️
Beautifully said. I'm sorry you feel so deeply distressed as to be that frozen state. I'm used to attack 'from within' in Qld Australia. I love the present grace of going to the TLM . My spirit soars. My heart is lifted. My closnes to Jesus is finally real. God bless you!!! 💗🇭🇲🐞. T.

Doing your own stunts on a bike this week, extreme weather endurance last...daniel craig retired..its time for simon..a bond in the wings.
looked heavy that bike but what a great adventure. I fully expect a microlite and a union jack flag in next weeks' vid!! from youtube with love, you only fall twice. top man.
Almost no people around..just wilderness ❤. Thank you for the video

Came on here to write the exact same bike tip.🙂👍
Thank you! I’ll remember that trick!! 👍👍👍
Excellent video, well done!! Smart keeping the battery warm, need to remember that if I'm biking overnight in the cold.
Love the bikepacking videos.
I work im Tv and film and I retreat to watch your videos Simon . Thank you 🙏🏼 God bless you and yours
Fantastic e-bike journey. Great food & delicious beer. Cheers mate🍻
I'm amazed that you were able to finish your ride and still have a bit of charge left. You also have excellent camera and video editing skills.

Very cool camera footage. Also, you make me want to camp now with my Ebikes I had that exact same bike.
Another very nice video. Nice to see someone say something about an e bike, and actually get out and show it in action.
Keep up the great work my friend and the great videos.
That was fricking funny as all get out. Glad you didn't get injured.
Very nice video . You are like a cross between Survivor Man and Itchy Boots. 👍
Great video very nice e-bike. Doing a LDP soon and this has confirmed that a tarp and bivvi rather than a tent will be my choice. Wednesday isn't Wednesday without Simon, thanks for uploading.
I like the cutting board. It's raised edges ensures nothing falls off - plus it's wide enough to be used as a plate 👍👍
Nice video. Thanks for the share. I'm thinking about getting one of these bikes as I'm moving to the island of Crete.
Thsnk you for one of the most honest and informative videos I've ever seen on TH-cam.
Nice camp setup.
Cheers from New Zealand!!
All those huge steaks make sense now we know the veggie backstory! Another great video. Loved the tarp set up.
