I enjoyed your video. I started bike packing in the early 80’s. Back then every door was open. National parks had no restrictions. This was a blessing and a curse. Some trails were totally unsuited to bike packing. I’m old now (69) and I want to go bike packing.
There is something magical about being completely alone- either by choice or circumstances- that really can’t be explained but pulls long suppressed instincts to the surface- thanks for sharing and best wishes on the next adventure!
I did this the first time this summer, and I totally agree Another positive point is that you meet new people, for few minutes, few hours, spend time to talk, discover, give or learn tricks. Definitely an experience I'll do next year again
As someone who trains in the gym along side with cycling. Bikepacking is the combination of both. You're going to need a strong back to lift your bike over an fence or pushing up mountains.
I would like a new gravel bike but am torn between this with drop handle bars and the straight bar like on a mountain bike. I am and have been a road cyclist, now I'd like to do gravel excursions but not so much mtb. I get the not too many conversations part.
A mountain bike is going to be more versatile than a gravel bike. I use my front suspension quite a bit too, but if you only plan on being on pavement/gravel, then drop bars are the way to go!
@@HuntersCyclingAdventures it’s great, front suspensions soaks up bumpy sections well, pinion and gates is durable especially in the sand and lots of mounting points for bags and water

Away from the hustle and bustle and more with nature: Commune with God...The natural landscapes are my sanctuary and my personal time with Christ. Just imagine why God's people during the Old Testament time periods lived over 900 years ! (life was much simpler then) compared to what humanity goes through in the here and now.

I see a lot of bikepacking vids, but this simple little piece is among the most elegant I've seen. Nicely said, great footy.
Thank you Ross!!

Sounds like it was the Wild West back the.

Absolutely correct and that is a point i wanted to add in here but i don't have enough interviews with people to really convey that message.

No kidding! And you get less sore too
Great overview of bikepacking!
Thank you!

Well said, mate. Respect!
Thank you!
Man you spelled it out here. Great video and thank you for sharing.
Thank you!
This!!!! 👏👏
How do you like your Priority Bike? Do you prefer the belt drivetrain?
It's phenomenal, albeit a little heavy. The drivetrain eliminates so many maintenance concerns that it's worth the extra weight.
Bike packing or bike touring? Or are they both the same?
Pretty much the same to me. Bike touring typically implies you spend most of the time on pavement, but I think the video applies to both
What kind of Hardtail is that your riding?
Priority 600x
@@dlambbikepacking that’s what I thought hard to tell from the angles you had but I have the same bike I love it
How do you like it on the hard stuff I haven’t had a chance to do a long trip on it yet

People lived for 900 years?! Here I was thinking religious stories couldn't get anymore unbelievable.
