As a practical matter, the 4th amendment doesn't matter once the neighborhood realizes there is a theft ring at 1234 Main St Apt 2. Couple of dudes were going around at night trying car doors and stealing from cars. Finally got spotted and were followed home. Apparently they had stolen from just about everyone including the apartment manager where they lived and life became "uncomfortable" living in an apartment complex filled with their victims who knew what they did . . . They moved out fast once their neighbors knew they were night thieves stealing from unlocked cars -suspect their car had "issues" like slashed tires etc. From personal experience, I confronted a suspected thief and he told me I had no proof. Not a problem I saw you on video, even if the police won't do anything, you are being evicted - good luck with reference calls for another apartment!

Immensely helpful. TYVM!👍👍👍

Always practise the knots on something thick like paracord. Knots are better than linelocks for all camping uses.

Sadly i regret my Grizl (AL) Even though it provided me with many great experiences. Ive had it for 1,5 years and put around 13.500km into it, ridden all-year round. And besides a few smaller gripes (Like ugly thru axles with handles), there are two big reasons why I cant recommend it: 1) the steerer size. I know that it was mentioned here, but my god. I didnt know that pretty much only Canyon and giant uses this. This means you have very limited options when it comes to: headcaps, Headsets, spacers, forks and stems. Especially stems are very important, because they are very individual. I had the misfortune, that my steerer tube was simply chaved, apparently from the upper Headset bearing rubbing (yes, everything was tightened down properly). Leaving a dent, which made the fork rattle and thus the size of the chaved area increased because the rattling created more friction. So, lets get that fork replaced asap i thought. Well, you cant find anything that fits. I checked many big online retailers, couldnt find a single fork. So, i Had to contact Canyon, which leads me to... 2) warranty only applies when you Bring your bike to a shop that is a Canyon Partner. In a City of 3million people and hundreds of Bike Shops, there are two, who are partnered with Canyon, and that althought i live in Europe where Canyon is more established. So ironically, choosing the giant Bike manufacturer Made me feel so much more Limited in my Options. When my Rose Bike needed fixing, i could simply get it to any Bike Shop and Just had to send them the bill. But it gets better, while I DO have to Credit Canyon that they stood by their warranty (fork was free to replace), it took about 7 weeks to replace it! Simply because of the unnecessary long Chain: i had to contact a very busy Shop (and it was offseason), Bring in Bike, Shop Checks it, shop contacts Canyon, Canyon Checks Case, Canyon sends parts, Bike Shop installs parts. And since they didnt have the color of my frame anymore, im now stuck with a fork that has a completely unfitting color and even a different Finish (Glossy instead of Matte). A fork I cant replace even If Id want to spend the Money out of my own pocket.

This is very similar to the tarp configuration i’ve used for almost 30 years. One bonus to this setup is that you can opt to mount it closer to the ground and pull the front wings closed at the pole. In the old days before i had a bivvy bag, this kept rain from blowing into my sleeping space. Five stars for adding the ridge line to suspend the bivvy cover. That might work really well for a mosquito net in warmer weather too. Thanks so much for this video!

Awesome!, I have been waiting for this video. Thanks for the heads up!

You possibly only want an audience from the USA (+Liberia & Myanmar). But if you'd like to be of interest to the other 95% of the world, it might be worth including the metric measurements that they use.

Great video. Where can you get the fabric you used to make the tarp?

All good but that wasn’t a fisherman’s knot. It was just a double overhand. A technical point as I’m sure it was fine.

I’m just here cuz I saw tarp in the title lol. Great video not very many people tarp camping.

How did you attach your Fenix light to the Blue ridge harness?

I appreciate the simplicity of the knot system and that you practiced to be ready to use it in your conditions (tired, raining). I'm lucky enough to have practiced them thousands of times already! That said, if you added some features to the tarp, or found one that had them, you could avoid the knots if that doesnt jive for someone else. Linelocs on the corners and a grommet on the ridgeline would be knot free. I still recommend knowing the knots for flexibility. An example of UL and having the features to be knot free is the MSR Thru Hiker Wing 70 would be close to your solo size, 100 is a 2p version. Linelocs and grommets included, but also more expensive than yours.

Great but in a downpour, that guyline would draw down water from the highest point right into the inside of your tent... otherwise thank you for the explanation!

The taut line hitch is pretty good for the stakes. Great video.

That's a sweet setup, it'd be good for ultralight hikers too. I notice you're tying your rope into a hank in the way I was first taught, which is slow to deploy and introduces a twist that can get it all tangled, versus this neat little trick: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYi0h6yIhbtnfJY

I remember hearing about a training plan during this podcast, but don’t want to listen to the whole thing again. Anyone can point me in the right direction or timestamp?

Great video, especially the patient explanation of the knots and how you trained yourself to habitualize them. I’m considering using a tarp as a tent groundsheet to provide the flexibility of using just a tarp when needed for shelter, but keeping the tent for its coziness…

Thanks!

In situations where there is a fear of bicycle theft, how do you protect the bicycle at night in the field

I appreciate the examination of the less-talked about legal side of airtags: that the police may not do anything. However, simply having an airtag gives you more information to work with regardless if the police can and will help you; for just $30 USD, that's a no-brainer to me. I've worked at a bike shop and have had someone (unsuccessfully) attempt to steal my bike before in one of the most bike-theft heavy cities in Canada. I would highly recommend *AGAINST* any kind of combination lock or cable lock: combinations are easy to decode and all cables (even armoured) are trivial to cut with cable/bolt cutters; Fortnine has a great video about breaking every kind of lock. At most they deter opportunistic thieves as the video mentions. The best bang for your buck are going to be D/U locks (as long as they don't have a spring-loaded locking bar; the Lockpicking Lawyer has a good video on this). Second best are chains: they're heavy af (for D/U lock thickness parity), but the added flexibility can come in handy. Lastly, angle grinder-resistant locks are the most secure, most expensive, and between the former two in weight: Litelok X1 & X3, Hiplok D1000, etc. If I only had to choose one (to save weight + money), it would be the X1.

I’d be interested in an overview of your garden in the background 🤘

In Alabama you have the right to pursue your property. We tracked a stolen iPhone to a persons house the police actually walked in and just took it from the people. we also were informed we have a right to pursue it ourselves … now we would have to be 100% right if we are wrong then we be in a lot of trouble. The device having precision location is all you need for probable cause. Wording is important… tracking a iPhone, the iPhone is reporting its location… tracking a bike is not.. say your air tag was stolen and your bike was stolen. The air tag can be then is in scope because it is reporting. You just happen to find a stolen bike with it.

Thanks!

Just recovered two bikes with this setup and it was used to get a warrant because it connected to the AirTag showing it was in the apartment. The police caught the thieves that had been huge porch pirates in our area. They had thousands of dollars of merch that was connected to over 20 filed police reports. So it worked for me.

You can disable the sensors instead of removing them

בינתיים מחשב יכול להיות מאמן ספורט או התנהגות רק עד גבול חוסר האמפטיה. תאר לך מצב שהמחשב מעליב את המטופל שלו בגלל חוסר הבנה של איזה ניואנס רגשי, למשל אם המטופל מנסה לרמוז על חויה קשה שעבר פעם אבל לא מסוגל לדבר על זה. צריך מחשב שיודע להציג אינטלגנציה רגשית. כמה זמן לדעתך יקח עד שיפתחו את זה?

My bike is a CruzBike recumbent that has front wheel drive. It takes several weeks to learn how to ride one and they are very rare in the world. Very unlikely that someone could hop on and ride away. It's like trying to steal a unicycle only better. My only worry is, they could have a pickup truck and just throw it in the back, so I also have an alarm. And for large stores, I use my cable lock.

I use a bike alarm. It's very loud and I can hear it in a convenience store. I also sometimes lock my bike with a cable lock to a shopping cart near the store opening. So far so good.

Just switched to axs (on my mtb, been running on my gravel bike for a while). The reason? Blit buttons on my aero bars!

Thanks so much for the in depth review. Some of us pay attention to and notice even the slightest nuances and I appreciate the time you put into this.

Thanks!

no need to speak for hypothetical women who are hypothetically not okay with it, or for lael wilcox whose hand is hypothetically forced. nothing but conjecture here.

Great tips!

I am not worry about it! Once their Iphone detects the tags there are automatically traceable with a court order, then the thief is identified and arrested. That is if you are in Europe!

Great video bro. Do you sale the cases.

someone tested all of them and the SAMSUNG AirTag2 took 5 days to show stalker mode LOL

Just got a tile. Looking for all the fun...

That "Garmin" cable is nothing more than an USB A to C cable.

Quality..ty for sharing..great vid

couldn't you use the bivy on top of your inflatable pad?

Everything you said doesn't make sense. This video only causes confusion.

85% of charging modern devices is the wall adapter, as most cables can take the power, but not every brick can output it effectively.

15 amps??? Uhhhhh

So I feel like you always have to have redundancies in your kit for when that happens… plus extra batteries or a power bank to charge things. Grayl is also a fun upgrade if you want to go that route.

I picked up the 1x Susp AL version and the first thing to be changed was the gearing. Did a mullet set up by upgrading to an Eagle 11-52 with a 34 front chain ring which gave me the climbing gears needed for bike packing. Only down side was I had to do AXS which wasn't cheap. I gave up a little top end but I do not miss it at all, just like being able to climb with a load on the bike.

I have a Samsung Smart Tag 2 which is only coupled to my father's phone which I have been carrying around for months, but I never recieved a notification that I was being followed. I have a Motorola and he has a Samsung. Also my girlfriend's iPhone has never said anything about the tag either. Located in Europe.

So you didn’t give the Canyon seat post issue refund back to Canyon?

I set up bait bikes around town, the cops know it i let them know what model color & where, so that way they don't send the city workers to remove them, the bait bikes are set up with elastic cables in the frame just like a pop tent, once the bike is stolen & the thief starts ridding it with in a few minutes it falls apart & the thief get a mouth full of road asphalt. 😂. It seems to be working because the police have told me that there are less bike theft reports since i started doing this.

Schilling is the man!
