Love your tips videos Barry. I'm about to go on my first bikepacking trip on the Peddars Way in May so all these is coming handy with my planning! Hope you're well Barry and look firward to more videos from you 🙏🏻
Thanks Ian, so happy they are useful, wanted just to share everything I had learnt!
Loving your channel Barry, I love sour hands on talks and showing stuff that you actually use yourself and you give opinions.
Thanks so much!!! Yes it is all stuff that has all been tried and tested and also still not quite right, still to find some perfect objects out there :-)
Hi Barry, I quite like this series, very nice! Keep going.
Chris
Thanks very much, I am so glad they are useful!
some people cut the bottom of the mini sawyer bag, scoop the water up and roll the top down. Just as you would with a dry bag. I've never done it though. Maybe I've got to try that with an old(ish) bag.
Hmmm I like that idea, get some good pressure on it! I kind of roll up the bags when I'm using it through anyway, like a toothpaste tube. Or get them in-between the thighs and squeeze
Never has boiling water been so much fun. Top job as always, thanks Barry.
Haha, thankyou so much!
Awesome videos! Just getting into Bike Packing and you have some great tips!
Thank you so much
Very helpful, thanks
Thanks so much David!
Anyone looking for a nice small, packable but capable stove take a look at the BRS-3000T, under £15 and it's been with me about 3 years now. Also for a water bladder that the Sawyer fits onto have a look at the Cnoc Vecto, it has a wide mouth opening which makes it super simple to fill
Thanks very much Myles for the recommendations, That stove looks almost identical to the one I use from alpkit, amazing price. And love the look of that bladder, the one problem with those other bottle they can run risk of breaking, and that one looks super strong
Enjoyed that a lot! Love the way stoves turn people tribal! Almost everyone I know will only use one stove because that one is better than every other stove in the whole world!
Thanks so much Andre, yeah there is something about fire and flames that makes us primal :-)
Barry, I stumbled upon your channel looking for bikepacking adventures of others and I'm hooked on trying a wild camp. I'm desperate to get out with all the new stuff I have amassed in the last few months! Thanks for the inspiration....
Wow! thanks so much, can't wait to hear about your first adventure and first wild camp! Will be an amazing experience, also all that new kit needs to be used :-)
Another brilliant film Barry, loads of great tips and ideas in there and great to see what you carry with you and your preferred kit!!! Keep up the great work and look forward to episode 8!! Cheers
Thanks so much Paul! Yes I am surprising my self, these episodes are ticking along and we are at 7 already :-)
What a shambles, loved it :)
Haha, what comment!!!! So glad you liked it :-)
Thanks Barry 👍.
Thanks so much Jake!!!
Hi Barry, great video as always. Some great tips there, thank you.
Richard
Thanks so much Richard!
BG tips is a cracking series & really informative, great work 👍
Thanks so much Ross! So glad you like them, these all the tips Ive got condensed, haha, quite intense
Another great episode. Your editing skills are very professional.
Thank you very much Steve! very kind words
Good old Barry, knew he’d be spending his time productively...
haha, busy little bee
I think that whole stove segment is the definition of organised chaos😂
Haha, what a comment haha, and I couldn't agree more, so glad I pulled it off
FANTASTIC positive attitude about everything 😃😃😃👍
Thanks so much Graham!! :-) I don't think you know how exciting a stove race is ;-)
@@barrygodin7538 Water boiling that's life in the fast lane 🏎️for me at the moment 😂Thanks for the vids packed with info 👍😀
Good tip about the tiny in-line filters.
Yeah, Get one Mark, they are so small, and great if you are so thirsty and need to drink as soon as possible
Great videos Barry. I do watch the American bike packing kit and how-to-do-it videos sometimes. Yours are much better.
Thanks very kind of you, thanks very much! Yeah Im trying to be realistic and honest, its all I can recommend is what I have learnt and used
Chapeau Barry,I on the Trans Am I used shower gel for every thing washing wise but I was in camp sites
Ahh Camp site luxuries :-) yeah it is a lot nice to use than that all purpose soap
Great video! Loved the water boiling race! Another option for water purification is using a steri pen (UV light). Works well for sterilization, but you still need to filter in order to get rid of the sediment.
Haha, thanks very much! was was getting tense for a moment there ;-) I have never used a UV pen, may be that and then push it through a sawyer would be a very thorough process
Brilliant again! Oh, I love this series, mate. Btw: meth stoves seems to be made for Zen Buddhists I think - needs eternities to boil something and depending on the season and conditions a loooot of fuel. Cheers pal, Hal
haha, thanks so much!!!! Yeah there is a real thing with meth stoves, I get they are cooler but maybe at times not as practical
Great vlog Barry.....my one tip, always use titanium spoon/spork, you can always sterilize it in the flame.
Hey thanks so much! and what a tip, didn't know that one, will use it from now ;-)
Enjoying your vids Barry! I am the same as you and learnt through trial and error. I use the Alpkit Kraku and Mytipot for cooking, If I want to go ultra light I'll use the Myticup and boil water with that and pour into dehydrated meals. I then use the cup to drink out of after boiling more water. I'm missing this bikepacking thing since the lockdown but hopefully more adventures lie ahead once we're in safer times.
Thank you so much! Oh we will be back out on adventure soon! and It will feel even sweeter when we do :-)
I have the kraku and the mytimug. Super lightweight and packable. I love alpkit.
Winning combination :-)
Morning Barry, another great vid. Quick suggestion re liquid stove - put tent pegs through the feet to lodge it in the ground. Also, really interested to hear about the items from China - AliExpress does seem to be a bit of an adventure, but some great bargains are very tempting. I now need coffee....
Wow wow wow!!! best suggestion yet! what a tip, thank you, I will be using that one.
Yes it was for these - www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Aluminum-Alloy-Bike-Bicycle-Tire-Levers-Master-Link-Chain-Pliers-Wheel-Pry-Tool/133401856951?_trkparms=aid%3D1110006%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20200514085150%26meid%3D232a6798f1614289b0fbae0d5db934fa%26pid%3D101198%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D9%26mehot%3Dnone%26sd%3D372841066640%26itm%3D133401856951%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D2047675%26algv%3DSimplAMLv5PairwiseWebWithBBEV1Filter%26brand%3DUnbranded&_trksid=p2047675.c101198.m1985 -
They look super cool and Ideal for the small tool bag
Perfect thing to watch, while the wife is cooking me scrambled eggs and chorizo. All the gear and plenty of idea. Keep it up. 🙂
Haha, I hope she is out side on your astro turf :-) al fresco dinning
@@barrygodin7538 no, but I put up the bird boxes
You are great! And thanks for the tips, very helpful!
I also prefer gas over the alcohol stove... It is just easier (and safer, imho) to use.
Hey, thank you so much :-) So glad you are enjoying them! Yes Gas is winning for ease at the moment, but there are defiantly times I would use the alcohol one
Have had a whisper lite for 25 years only thing is replacing seals after a few years but its awesome.
Oh yeah its amazing, I just need to use it more, need to go on some bigger trips :-)
@@barrygodin7538 So do I living here in the Canadian Rockies I dont leave much ;)
Stop the alpkit lid from rattling by using 3 or 4 elastic bands
It wasn't necessary the lid part, it was the top hook, also I didn't loose it on purpose. But then I would be lying if I said to you my bike worked so well there was no noises :-)
Hey up, Episode 7 was ace! I watched a video you done last year, you scooped water out of the Loch and then filtered it. I was thinking it's not running water, but A) Scotland and B) You filtered it too. Would you only filter out of Scottish Lochs or would you also drink out of Tarns (even the midge fest one just out of Wastwater on Jennride? I'm really happy you put the actual clip of that exact scene in and spoke about it. One thing, you know you use the cup to fill the bottle....then you put the filtered water back in the cup, would that be only beneficial when you are filling the bottle as then your cup is technically dirty? Keep em coming, this is a fantastic series!
Hey! Thanks :-) Yes I would drink out of that tarn, it is a very large body of water. We camped just on the river that came out of that tarn and filtered that and live to tell the tale :-) I understand the dirty cup thing, I also and not the best at keeping only clean or dirty water in those bottles. I think I do a lot to try and keep safe, more so than I did at the start, and haven't been ill since (touch wood) and I have drunk some very brown water :-) Thats one of the benefits of those bottles being blue and not clear, you can't see what you are drinking, haha
Thank you Barry great video! I'm learning alot.
Why did you switch from the pocket rocket to the other tiny stove? Just for the slightly smaller size? I just picked up the pocket rocket 2 for my upcoming first bike packing adventure.
Thank you for your videos, I look forward to them. Stay safe!
Thanks so much Angela, so glad you are learning from them ;-) I just try and put as many tips as I know in to a small space of time, haha. Yeah the pocket rocket is so much better than the Kraku, but the alp kit one is smaller and fits in that cooking set, which when i explain where i goes on my bike, it will make sense. But that pocket rocket is a brilliant stove
Love your videos Barry. Nice accessible style.
Had a Highlander stove like your alpkit one but the thread for the gas bottle bent on the 3rd use. No such issues with yours I trust by the way you set it up so effortlessly?
Thanks so much Tim, Yeah I have had that stove for 4 years and used so much, and never ever have had the slightest issue with it.
@@barrygodin7538 good to hear. Thanks. Might be the perfect answer for bike packing for me... Mainly cos it boils fast so I can mainline shed loads of coffee...
Keep up the motivational vids.
@@timsmart5887 Haha, caffeine rush to the max :-)
Loved it =) Any experience with Chlorine Dioxide tablets? I bought some from GoOutdoors a month ago for trips to Scotland.
Hey Richard, I think the tablets I had there were Chlorine, I would say it is just adding a not very nice taste to the water, so I stick to filtering. But give them a shot, they will defiantly purify the water
Another great video Barry, glad to see someone else also still has the first generation pocket rocket and a good old KFS clip set!! I've seen the sea to summit cups in shops and will be honest and say I thought they look a bit naff. But having now seen that it works perfectly as a lid for the MytiMug, i'm going to get one and see how they are! I always found it really annoying trying to lift the lid off the Alpkit Ti Mugs as they get so warm and the handle is tiny!. Which size of the Alpkit mug is that? I've got two sizes, one fits nicely inside the other which is great if you want to take a bit more cooking space. I often pack spare socks in the mugs just to stop things rattling around (very hygienic I know). I think you ned to add a set of the titanium chopsticks to the kit, maybe not ideal for cuppa soup though.
Hey Matt! thanks so much! Yes what a first stove, think every one should have one!
Yeah the cups are much better then they look, and especially as the pack down so small, and I can take two in case a find a friend! Yeah I didn't have my lid for too long, and it was annoying as you said, and rattled all the time. Love the sock technique, make be if the pots are still warm another technique to dry them out :-) The Mug is - alpkit.com/products/mytimug
@@barrygodin7538 Yep I've got the same one, unfortunately discontinued now though. If you want a bit more cooking space or need a second pot, I'd recommend the Alpkit MytiPot. The MytiMug fits nicely inside it so pack size isn't increased too much if you're taking both. Plus, who doesn't need a bit more Ti in their life. alpkit.com/collections/cookware/products/mytipot
look into
Cnoc Outdoors 2020 VECTO 3L Water Container, it perfect easy to fill underwater been using for years tough as hell
Thanks for watching :-) Yeah they look great! never heard of them, you tried their mug/cup?
@@barrygodin7538 yeah I tried takes to long this system I recommend takes a sec to fill in river lakes stream easy
Hey Barry, awesome video! Could you tell me what cup and gas canister size you are using on the small Kraku stove? Cheers!
Hey Finlay, thanks so much!!! My mug is - alpkit.com/products/mytimug - But it says they have stopped making it. But gives you dimensions on this page - its 10cm high by 10cm. I know you can find other companies that make a similar thing. This one is the perfect size to fit a 110g canister.
@@barrygodin7538 thanks!!! Keep up the awesome work!
Hey Barry, how long does the small gas canister last that you use with the Kraku ?
Can you give me a rough idea as to how many days u can use it for or how many small pot boils you would get from it before needing to get a new gas canister?
Still loving the vids btw. I get way over excited when I see a new bg tips vid pop up in my TH-cam feed 😂
Hey, Well I haven't got an accurate count, but three days I can get from a small can. Thats two boils for breakfast, and two or three for dinner. So for 5 days, just take one other as a spare.
Thanks so much for enjoying them! And so glad you are finding them useful :-)
Barry Godin thanks , that’s exactly the answer I was hoping for .
bikepacking guys love titanium things hahaha
Oh yeah! got to have a bit to titanium
Morning Barry, another great video, thanks. What size is your MyTi mug?
Morning :-) thanks so much!!! My mug is - alpkit.com/products/mytimug - But it says they have stopped making it. But gives you dimensions on this page - its 10cm high by 10cm
Thanks, just wanted to make sure the one I got off amazon (Lixda, was in a flash sale a couple of weeks ago) was the same size so I could fit the same kit in it
@@jameshounslow7013 Amazing you found a new version. Could you pop in the link? Thanks
Sorry, just noticed your reply now, I know you’ve ordered,one, but here’s the link for anyone else who’s interested

Hi Barry, what’s the ti cup you used on the Alpkit stove?
Hi Andy, It is a Alpkit myti mug 650, just about to try another one I recently got from Amazon by - Lixada
Oh, and yes, don't drink Scottish burn water - even if it's very clean the peat and other organic matter will pass through you very quickly. It's fine for cooking and washing.
Haha, thought you would of been hardier :-) Thanks so agreeing
Don't buy stuff from China !!!!!!!
Wood burning stoves such as the Firebox or Honey stoves?
I have an MSR Whisperlite stove as well and like you I cannot work out why their braided fuel hose connecting the bottle and the actual stove is so short. Crazy.
Anyway nice one Barry.
Haha, I don't often :-) Its just this small tool I can't find over here, in fact, never seen before, that someone recommended www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Aluminum-Alloy-Bike-Bicycle-Tire-Levers-Master-Link-Chain-Pliers-Wheel-Pry-Tool/133401856951?_trkparms=aid%3D1110006%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20200514085150%26meid%3D232a6798f1614289b0fbae0d5db934fa%26pid%3D101198%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D9%26mehot%3Dnone%26sd%3D372841066640%26itm%3D133401856951%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D2047675%26algv%3DSimplAMLv5PairwiseWebWithBBEV1Filter%26brand%3DUnbranded&_trksid=p2047675.c101198.m1985
Just had a look at that honey stove! It looks really nice. Do you have any experience with it?
Yes this tense feeling that the bottle might heat up too much :-) But just in case you didn't see comment below. Someone has recommended pegging the stove using small tent pegs to the ground to stop it flying about with the stiff hose, great idea!
Thanks so much Alex
