- Everything we carry on the bikes after 3 years cycling around the world, plus a look at the bikes themselves.
We look through each bag, explaining what we carry and where we store it, giving our honest opinion on each item, and highlighting our favourite things.
A complete list of the kit with links to the suppliers can be found on debsandtom.com at www.debsandtom.com/kit-list
Thanks for the video. Always good to see what everyone carries. Gave me a few ideas for my setup.
Thanks, good to hear that.
That was brilliant and really fascinating. I am glad I am not the only one who has lots of “just in case” 😀 Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
You guys are one of my heroes. Just for what you do !!!
Thank you!
Hey!....Great vid and you both have a very 'down-to-earth' presenter patter👍🏻
Thank you so much 🤗
I just love following your adventures and enjoyed seeing what's in your kit.
Thanks! From Debs
Thanks for the video, lots of great information. Maybe a video on physically what it’s like to be cycling every day, stretching, resting, how to deal with any physical issues etc bad back, muscle strains would be interesting.
Great idea, will put that on the to do list. Thanks.
Well I didn’t understand the bike stuff but admire how ‘light’ you are able to travel. I guess if you’re responsible for getting up a mountain then it makes it a bit easier to do without things. Keep smiling x
Thanks Di.
Nice to see a mature couple out and about. I just found your channel and it looks delightful. Years ago, I was on tour with a group of six friends and all the women brought a little black dress and a straw hat for a night on the town or village. You seem to be really enjoying yourselves and traveling at a sensible pace and have found out how to live the life of a 21st Century nomad. I'm a wee bit older and at 82 but I'm now doing short near to home trips since my riding friends are now registered in the book of memories.
Thanks, that is a wonderful comment and lovely to hear. We hope you have many years of local rides still to come.
Thrilled to see that the hat is still serving you well! Thank you for sharing your adventures!
Our pleasure Don. Good to hear from you.
We have Helinox Chair Zeroes. I’m 6’5” and close to 96kg and they are good for me.
Thanks, good to know that.
Top notch and very useful information. Tom, I especially like the way you incorporated your tooth into your bike! 👍👍
🤔 There's a creative story to tell over a pint on how it got there.
Amazing world tour!! 🚴🚴
Thanks Bob. Yeah, the tooth is crazy and a good talking point.
7:35 The maskot is a Pokemon called Tangela. It's a Grass-type Pokemon that looks like a tangle of vines with a pair of large eyes staring out from within. What the creature actually looks like inside is a mystery.
Fantastic, well done. Wish we had a prize we could send you!
Tangela is my favourite Pokemon.
Indeed about breathable waterproof. I also use plastic ones.
Thanks, interesting to hear that.
Really good gear list just found your channel .. looks like you guys are having fun .. i just checked out the gladalme router and plans dam thats expensive..
Thanks. Yes, you've got to be steady with data with Glocalme, but waiting for the special offers and discounts helps. You can put a local sim card in it, which we did in the US (Verizon), so then it is just like a wifi hotspot off the sim, though it can be hard to find a data only sim that allows hotspots.
Have watched every video you have made and both of you are truly an inspiration and a wonderful example of retirement, well done. Regarding the Ortlieb clips you could glue them in place?
Thank you very much. Yes, I think we'll try gluing them in.
@@debsandtom8731 or you can cable tie some garden hose around the rack, so you don't need the clips.
16:48 Husky is a Czech company.
Thanks for the correction.
Great video, thanks for all the info. I have added a couple of extra bits to my mental kit list as a result. One question, how easy is the Rohloff twist control to use? My wife’s arthritis is playing hell with changing gear.
Thanks. It's hard to say about the twist control, I guess it's easier on the fingers but harder on the wrist, as you need to twist it round rather than push a lever. Rohloff do offer an electronic shifter I think.
Hope you are both well.
In La Paz at the moment. The next video will show how the teeth struck back!
When you consider e bike
Maybe soon.
