    So... What do you think? Have plans of strapping your Backpacking Gear to a Bike & giving Adventure Cycling a try in 2021???
    👇Let Us Know Down Below!👇

      I hope this year I will be able to get a nice four-day trip down to Finley State Park down on the buckeye trails
      The whole trip is around 368 miles

    • @johnjames4583
      @johnjames4583 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Bike packing brings a lot of things to the table. One, if your like me, i have a bad foot from the service. Hiking is fun but short lived, where as on a bike I can extend the miles, and have a pain free trip. Bikes allow you to travel farther period. Granted you are not going to be doing any wilderness travel. I like the fact that someone with your vast experience in Hiking and Biking is willing to share this knowledge with us. Thank You

  • @TheBlazingSilver
    @TheBlazingSilver 3 ปีที่แล้ว +18

    Thanks for the update Darwin. I love the direction you are taking regarding sharing all your adventures. As a new bikepacker I found this both interesting and helpful. Thanks again!

  • @philamongthehills501
    @philamongthehills501 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Fifteen years ago having kids and new rail trail going across the county got me back into cycling which got me into bike touring which got me back into backpacking. I am in the process of getting my off the shelf bike setup better for touring from the local bike shop and have been researching routes across the state. Please keep producing these videos.

  • @Crowiferous
    @Crowiferous 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Psyched that you're back to bike packing videos! I fell in love with 2 wheel travel when I biked across the US in 2010; life changing doesn't cut it. Go Darwin go!

  • @jacovdmnz
    @jacovdmnz 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I did my first bikepacking adventure this weekend. 122km over two days on the Little River Rail Trail in between Christchurch and Little River in New Zealand. I had such a blast and am already looking forward to the next one. Happy Days!

  • @JoeOsChannel
    @JoeOsChannel 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Glad to see you doing Bikepacking videos, that makes your channel even better.
    I've done plenty of bike touring in the past with racks and panniers, trips up to 7000 km solo.
    But in 2021, I will also be getting into the bikepacking style as well.
    Looking forward to more of these videos from you!
    Cheers from Thunder Bay Ontario Canada

  • @johnwych5612
    @johnwych5612 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Another great video, thanks. I started watching your channel for gear advice getting going with bikepacking, then got hooked on the beautiful hiking films you make! I'm really enjoying these bikepacking features again. The highlight of the summer was convincing my (16 year old 'you're so uncool, Dad') son to come with me on a short bike packing adventure. He loved it and even had to admit the water filter, stove, food, sleep system and everything we took 'just worked' - thanks to you. Keep them coming :)

  • @adrienrenaux6211
    @adrienrenaux6211 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    For anyone wanting to start on the cheap, you can strap a lot of things to a bike with a bit of ingenuity. You can use a wet bag, loop the buckle around the seat post and then strap it up against your saddle rail to make a cheap seat bag. You can strap any kind of dry back, stuff sack to you your handlebars. You can even make a burrito out of Tyvek and strap it to your handlebars! If you have a rack, you can easily strap some sort of bag on top of it!

  • @hanniegraceoutside4870
    @hanniegraceoutside4870 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Love love love! My best friend and I thru hiked the AT last year and are now looking at doing some serious bikepacking (with hopefully going east coast to west coast in 2023), so we we're thrilled to find your channel. I love your vibe, your mix of adventure and cycling, and your videos. Definitely more bikepacking stuff!

  • @sedonasugarloaflodge7971
    @sedonasugarloaflodge7971 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    dude! The foam pad to save your therma is brilliant! I've been fighting punctures every time I have gone out.

  • @garrywhelan9211
    @garrywhelan9211 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Fully support your inclusion of bikepacking. I came to your channel as a long time hiker and cyclist looking for what's current in lightweight backpacking - since it's the same for bikepacking! I've ended up enjoying all your hiking content and the little you covered for bikepacking, so more power to you. It's all inspiration for adventures and exploring.

  • @theadventurousgeezer
    @theadventurousgeezer 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thanks Darwin! I've just started to get into both backpacking and bikepacking and love them both. Nice to know of someone who enjoys both just like I do. Great content in your video, as usual.

  • @philliplaroe6107
    @philliplaroe6107 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Many years ago ( like 40!) I did some bike packing which turned into back packing and now as my knees are getting old I am looking again to return to my bike. I have enjoyed all your backpacking videos and would greatly enjoy more dedicated to biking. I have already added the loop out of Patagonia to my upcoming travels!

  • @sethbeiden1305
    @sethbeiden1305 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Bikes are awesome, so please keep it coming! I love backpacking and riding bikes - love merging it! Bikes allow you to see more in the same time, although faster, but in a totally different way. Amazing.

  • @cshaslag
    @cshaslag 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks so much for sharing information on bike packing. I bike pack and love to see what others use. Thanks for emphasizing that you can do this with any bags/bike you have and showing the cross-over between hiking and bike packing.

  • @iamdrew14
    @iamdrew14 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

  • @timot_one
    @timot_one 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Glad to see you're posting more bikepacking videos. I originally found your videos while researching gear to get into bikepacking a few years ago. Looking forward to seeing more content.

  • @lindadou1631
    @lindadou1631 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    yes, more bikepacking info. We have always rode but bikepacking sounds like something we can get into. Love the channel, hiking and or biking.

  • @hikermichael9443
    @hikermichael9443 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm becoming a bikepacker myself. My commute to and from work is ~22 miles of mountains and I've just bought a new lighter weight bike I'll be turning into a touring bike as well. It's a hard tail mountain bike. I love it so far. I'm gonna put drop bar clamp adapters and a rear seat post rack to really make it look the part.

  • @certifiedfishingcycling9208
    @certifiedfishingcycling9208 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    First ever search for bikepacking as I am thinking of making it a reality...boy, am I ever glad I chose your thumbnail 🙏. Solid content, very informative, and easily affordable items for purchase for me, the beginner.
    YES, MAKE MORE BIKEPACKING CONTENT..I WILL BE FOLLOWING AS YOU HAVE EARNED YOURSELF ANOTHER SUBSCRIBER THROUGH THIS VIDEO ALONE!
    KEEP IT UP.

  • @littletownie4008
    @littletownie4008 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank You Darwin. Its great to see you doing more bikepacking videos. It's summer time for me and my friends. We are planing a 400km ride through the Molesworth Station and the Rainbow trail. An adventure Ive been looking forward to if for ages. It's useful to see how and what other people bring on their adventures.

  • @theimperialsage
    @theimperialsage 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Love the Bike content. While a lot of people may not be able to take a long bike trip, I feel there are always good bike trails to explore here in the Midwest. I was really inspired a coupe years ago to explore the biking community by watching your videos. I would always welcome more biking content.

  • @swnorcraft7971
    @swnorcraft7971 3 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @philhorne3293

    The single gear up front was a surprise. So I did the math on the torque ratios with the rear cassette. Your bike is built for climbing! Nice!

    First I apologize for my basic English.
    I follow your videos with interest ( the last short film is really nice ) and I find your approach to bikepacking interesting.
    Explanations always very useful for people like me who are at the beginning.
    Thanks for sharing your experience.

    @kenfrank3782 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    So glad you’re doing this !!! I really damaged my foot a few years ago -- close to walking with bone on bone which will really make you sit up and say Holy Shixt that hurt !!!
    Basically I’m going to be doing bike touring and canoe camping as my adventures from now on. Nice thing is a lot of my hiking gear is perfect for biking and canoe camping.

    @robgutie1935 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Big fan of the carradice style bags. Must be nice to be tall enough to have that giant frame bag. I needed to switch to side draw bottle cages just to keep two bottles in the frame.

    Darwin, I have always done a lot of biking in the past, and over the last few years, I've been hiking and backpacking. I have even done a few bikepacking trips in 2019, but none in 2020 due to COVID. I am ready to head out on some bikepacking adventures in 2021. I look forward to more bikepacking content from your channel to inspire us.

  • @BillyMcGovern
    @BillyMcGovern 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Darwin, Love the fact you did this in 2016. I feel like everyone is getting into bikepacking right now (me too). I thru hiked the AT in 2017 and really don’t see myself going back to backpacking. Two wheels is the way to go.

    @jackpumkinhead9583 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    this was awesome i’m an avid hiker, but ever since I did the katy trail in Missouri I have gotten super into bike packing also , it’s so similar in so many ways that I don’t know why more hikers don’t talk about it the cool thing with bike packing is that you can really make a lot more miles then you can hiking a lot easier

  • @fargoaerials3456
    @fargoaerials3456 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Wow! Loved the change up in subject matter. Keep it coming. In 1997, I and a buddy did a trip (they called it bike touring then) from OR to NY. We had front and rear panniers, and enough tools and spare parts to build a wheel on the side of the road. I think our bikes weighed well over 70 lbs!

    I'm also a backpacker who's into bike touring. I have a Soma Saga Disc that I built myself and I use it for mostly rail trail trips (Great Allegheny Passage and C&O Canal are my favorite trips). I plan to get out this spring on a S24O on the Schuylkill River Trail near my house since this summers trip is a backpacking trip.

    I bought an aluminum Cannondale Topstone this year. I'm ready to customize it & get my bike packing gear & get out there. I wish I could get some Whiskey carbon wheels! I like the idea of a 2L water bladder in the frame bag. I was considering a 2L camelback riding vest. I have a wish list of hiking hear from you now I'm excited to start a bike packing list & buy items when I can. More bike packing content please. Thanks for all the imformative vids! See you on the trails!

    Love it... I'm trying to peak more into this kind of packing since I'm a biker myself and in recent years found love for backpacking. I just need to get the right bike.. since my roadie isn't best for exploring. :) Thums up Darwin.

    Love it. Great vid. Looking forward to more bike content. I'm in the DFW area (TX) and recently discovered a nearly complete project to create the longest trail in Texas. It's called the NETT (North East Texas Trail), and its 130 miles long and runs from Farmersville (right on the northeast edge of DFW) to New Boston (just southwest of TX/AR border). It has established campsites and runs through a bunch of small TX towns. I'm thinking that might be my first long bikepacking experience. I'm excited to see my state embracing the outdoor community. You'd think a state the size of TX would have some great long trails, but the longest backpacking trail here is the LSHT (Lone Star Hiking Trail) which is 96 miles and not maintained that great in a couple sections.

    I came here after the Odyssey video to find out what the heck the bag inside the frame was. Come to find out its called a...frame bag. Glad you posted this for the non-bikepackers to get more acquainted.

    Just picked up a giant contend AR. Haven’t had a decent bike in a really long time. Of course some of my first thoughts now are bike packing trips!
    Great, another hobby I won’t have the time for. Haha! The good thing is bike packing offers more trails accessible for weekend trips compared to backpacking in my area.
    Thanks for the video and inspiration!

    Though I've enjoyed watching your hike videos, my foot and hip are shot and I cycle if I'm going more than 3 miles. It's opened up a new world for me.
    Bike packing yeah!

    Well done! I bought a bike in May specifically for dirt road touring, Eastern MT and WY to Canada the first year or so. (Surly Bridge Club 27.5) My practice and training is on the County Roads, BLM, and Forest Service Routes. I am picking up next month a permit to camp on Montana State Lands to expand the experience. i am hoping for my first bikepacking in late March, weather permitting. My current project is winter backpacking but there is a winter snow/ice bike nearly finished in the barn. (1984 trek MTB - rigid fork and frame with wide studded tires. And 8 speed internal hub conversion) Boot or wheel, is all real.

    Love the Rove. Just picked up a 2021 LTD and it's amazing. Until now, all my bikepacking has been on a hardtail, but I've found I like gravel and forest roads better than singletrack, so I guess I need to buy new bags!
