Awesome

Thanks Guys I really Enjoyed your Video I an Now in my seventies And will never ride my bike in these Mountains so thanks for the Ride.

Pretty cool setup. Ya I have shock forks and was dreading tossing them just to get better water bottle/bag space. Easy solution with tape, kind of ruins the look of the bike, but after 1000s of miles that should be the least of worries. Great video.

Hi from Kazakhstan

Hey Karl, just finished re-watching all the TJN videos again. Do you have footage of the rest of the trip(s)? Would you ever continue the video series? Either way, I've really enjoyed all your videos, so thanks!

For trips like these, it would be nice to bring some candy etc from your own country to give to kids like the little ones ye met here. Imagine what reaction they'd have and how they'd likely always remember the cyclist who gave them sweets

I found that the phone sized solar chargers are crap. I don't think it would work on your lighter weight setup but I use the bigblue 28W foldable panel across my back rack/panniers when riding & outside my tent on days off. It has been working great for charging my battery pack which I use to charge my lights & phone. I have the same Nitrider light & Copper Spur tent(1p) as you. I used to use a Triangia alcohol stove but switched to the MSR Dragonfly. You've got a nice setup.

Serenity Brother!!!!

Hola, Como fijaste esas botellas en la rueda delantera?

Subscribed! I dig your style! Best to you comrade!

Hi Karl, today we had encounter on your way to northern Kenya... Nice meeting you brother

Das nenn ich mal ein ordentlich gepacktes Fahrrad... oder wie sagte meine Großmutter: "wer die Ordnung liebt ist nur zu faul zum Suchen". Meine Freundin Brunhilde sagt allerdings: ...mit einem so gepackten Fahrrad würde ich noch nicht mal nachts bei absoluter Dunkelheit fahren, es könnte mich ja doch einer sehen...

Nice

Which rear rack do you use ? :)

why do you use drop bars (i think theyre called that) instead of straight bars, cause i just brought my first bike for bikepacking (it has drop bars) and im paranoid that i chose the wrong bars

Hey Carl. I have a question. How do you manage without fenders? When traveling

Great adventure and looks like such an awesome trip!! Well done. - I'm heading to Kyrgyzstan in a couple weeks to ride the Tian Shan Traverse, wondering what sort of foods you're able to buy in the Yurt camps along the routes etc.

Baeg

Thanks for this amazing vidéo ! A question : was it easy to find gas station to buy fuel for your stove ? I still wonder if I take my stove or not for the Divide

How did you manage to put more stuff in/on your Bike then most can put in a Truck

Love it, amigo. And I can confirm that bears don’t like bananas. 🤣Keep the rad spirit and adventuring. Dirtbags unite! 😋

What kind of tyres do you use? How wide? 2.2"?

Great set-up. I can watch videos of people showing what's in their bags all day and never get bored. 😂

hola donde dejaste la bici para ir a la base de las torres?

Give me a rear rack and that old school handlebar bag any day of the week over new bikepacking gear.

Simple is good. Take what you need and leave the rest at home. As of 2022 all auto fuel in the world is now lead free and usable in camp stoves. Your waterproof orange bag makes a real good washing machine. An alternative to a suspension fork is to run your heavy-duty touring tires softer.

Listening from Hungary…. Awesome!!! If you ever come back be sure to spend some time! We even have bikepacking events like Hungarian Divide and Balaton Bike Derby now.

Lol you legend

subbed, great content. Thank you.

I'm just curious how you deal with all those bags and bicycle when you want to travel via airplane.

GOOD

You're not carrying a first aid kit? Is only ibuprofen really enough? I really hope so.

This looks like a lot of fun. I get excited just riding 50km after dinner would love to head off like this one day 👍

Currently planning a bikepacking trip from Barcelona to Bakú for 4-5 months, so videos like these do come in handy. Thanks for the ideas!

Beautiful, what months were you cycling this route?

This video gave me so much needed fresh air. l'm very sad l had to move to DC (wife's job) and my beloved Scandinavian Arctic Circle regions are so far away now (flying to Buffin Island to meet similar conditions is quite expensive). l can see BWCA may be an alternative playground (not even close to be as harsh, but it'll do alright for the time being). Thanks for sharing!

what handle bar u used? thanks

Hi, did you enter from El Chaltén in Argentina? If yes, how easy was it to get information on when the ferry is leaving when you were in El Chaltén?

What is the name of your fire system? You use benzin or diesyfor that? I. Trying to find something but i can't

Great! I missed foot protection 😀

I like Kyrgyzstan🇰🇬🇰🇬🇰🇬🇰🇬🇰🇬🇰🇬🇰🇬🇰🇬🇰🇬🇰🇬🇰🇬🇰🇬🇰🇬 welcome to Kyrgyzstan

Hey Karl I am thinking about doing the tour decide this summer and I was wondering about the water situation I was thing of carrying two letters of water is this not enough?

I envy your adventures

hi no solar on dynamo? what about pedalcell? what rear rack do you have now? oldman divide regular or the new musa? what rack in the video? thank and ride safe.. thank you

Hieno pyörä.

Thanks for making this video. I am making the move for bikepacking.

Good info. Very realistic gear selection for the non-racer who wants a reasonable amount of comfort.

Impressive arrangement! Nothing but essential equipment. German SON dynamos has a very good reputation. Gloves are highly recommendable for protecting your hands, if crashing. Bon Voyage and stay safe ✌🏻

Hi Karl, I Loved your bikepacking trip; however, you cannot make fire there. It is strictly forbidden. In 2011, an Israeli tourist burned about 17.000 hectares in the C.A., causing irreparable damage to wildlife.

beautifuuuuulll amaziiiiinnnnggg thanks you
