Excellent tip: it’s always wise to let someone know you’re heading out on a ride. Don’t want them spooked if you’re not back right on your ETA because flats happen of course, but getting really stuck when you’re alone & no one knows your route is bad news. I’m thinking a Vashon Island ride is the thing to do.🤘🏻

I went on my first Bike Packing trip last weekend for one night. It was a state park 30 miles from my house. It's great advice your giving. I forgot some things, but nothing I couldn't live without. Thanks for all your content. I'm already eager to plan my next longer trip. Thanks ladies.

Great advice, as always. Never hurts to put your tent up if it’s new, or has been a long time since using it. Maybe the same with your cookstove, but outdoors, for sure!!

Awesome tips! I went with budget gear for my first two trips and I was just as happy as others who spent $$$. Definitely love the tip of just going for it

You are nuts, but I love it! Very, very good advice, probably the best I have ever heard on KZbin. I always go alone, one night or a week, cranky old man so it suits me. Absolutely love you you and Darin, take care in these strange times guys. Rad on! Can someone tell me how the f&£k to add emojis to a post on KZbin?

Aww cheers mate! Yea...i am a bit nutty that's for sure 🤪And good on ya for getting out one night a week! Also, easiest way to get this 🤘 is to be on your phone OR copy and paste from the interwebs. Emojipedia works well (just save a doc on your computer w ones you want to use :) )

Switching from Electric BIke tour to a None Electric Bike tour. Going to do Phoenix to Tucson and back (300+ miles). Think It will make for a great *KZbin video* .

Thank you for the advice! What do you do with your Brooks saddle while riding in the rain? I’m planning on touring Scotland in May but afraid of using my Brooks saddle since rain in the norm there.

Welp, I did my very first bike camping trip a few weeks ago, and am scouting out the next one. One thing I've learned; I'd really love a shower! Don't like being sticky. I imagine bike camping in the autumn will help with the stickiness a little (I live in TN so dang that last bike trip was humid as all get out). Your video has poked me to start planning the next overnighter. I figure if I do a couple-few overnighters by next spring I may be ready for a multi-night trip down natchez trace.

I like the challenge and simplicity. I rode fixed gear on road for many years and loved it. Thought I'd give this a try. The Unit is super versatile as well (can also accommodate internal hubs) so might change it up in the future if I want some gears.
