i love the way you rock it man. not afraid to show your mistakes and admit when things get rough. keep the adventure videos coming, theyre cool to watch

[@ChadLubinski]

Thank you so much for that feedback 🙌🙌

[@vanlifedad9963]

Great trip! Bring a folding pocket stove next one, size of a wallet and you could boil some water at least in an emergency.Cheers!

[@ChadLubinski]

hey thanks for watching man!

[@romererunamerika9437]

spooner lake campground. LOL I was there three weeks ago? Did the tahoe rim trail hiking. love the video bro.. you are getting really good at filming.

[@ChadLubinski]

That’s about when I was there! How was the TRT?? Thanks for that compliment by the way 😁

[@pnwbikepacking]

Nice work! This route has been on my list for several years but I haven't made it happen yet. The techy climbing looks brutal. Thanks for sharing.

[@ChadLubinski]

Brutal is absolutely the correct word lol. You would crush it though. Thanks for watching!!

[@knordberg]

Great video. Nice balance of the fun times and beautiful scenery with th struggles.

[@ChadLubinski]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!

[@jasonpeters1220]

That stretch from Heavenly to Star Lake is brutal with an unloaded bike, Can only image what it's like with a full kit.

[@ChadLubinski]

Thank you for validating my complaining 👍🏻😆

[@dougshankle7946]

Took me 5 hours to get from Marlette Lake to South Lake when it should have taken 3 - suffering horribly and I couldn't do the remainder of the ride. My two buddies made it to Star Lake both told me it was horrible hike a bike LOL.

[@ervinslens]

Definitely great work! Beautiful colors and shots. Well done mate!

[@ChadLubinski]

Thank you so much!!

[@dougshankle7946]

Did this a few years ago minus a few route alterations but basically the same. It was freakin HARD. We camped at Marlette Lake the first night.

[@Kevin-do5rz]

Looked like a great trip. Glad you shared it with us

[@ChadLubinski]

thanks so much for watching Kevin!

[@markpriest8504]

Excellent video. Funny too.

[@ChadLubinski]

Haha thanks for watching, Mark!

[@CobaltHaze]

What an amazing adventure! Lake Tahoe is so beautiful. Who makes those sunglasses?

[@ChadLubinski]

Thanks for watching :) amzn.to/3RGLwEn That link should take you to them!

[@CastawayHikes]

If you were to do it again, would you rather hike or bikepack it in hindsight? My reservation about bikepacking is that when I ride MTB I am more focused on riding rather than my surroundings, and I want to soak up the entire TRT

[@ChadLubinski]

That’s a really good point. You definitely have to be more focused on mtb. If you want to soak it up, I’ll would recommend hiking it for sure. There’s a lot of technical areas of descent where you have to be keyed in and a ton of hike a bike where you just hate your surroundings lol

[@TapioBlue]

Did you want to talk about how the solar cooked meal turned out?

[@ChadLubinski]

LOL. Not as bad as I thought. Just cold

[@TapioBlue]

@@ChadLubinski I thought you might of found a gas canister going through a town but looks like uncooked ramen noodles at 10:41 Lol. I picked up a Toaks Ti pot with a bail handle so I can always boil over a little fire, but fire bans are common enough in summer.

[@Castellanos334]

Great video Chad. Did you bring SPF chapstick this trip?

[@ChadLubinski]

😂😂 we need to make that thing on this channel

[@nitantpandey882]

Great video & vibe as always. Chad, I’m curious how you managed the logistics. Did you fly with your bike to Tahoe or rented a bike in Reno? I’m planning to do this adventure and rent a bike.

[@ChadLubinski]

Hey thanks so much man! I actually just drove to Reno with the bike on top of my car because I lived in Oregon at the time. But if I had to fly, I would fly into Reno. I think that would be the easiest logistically. You're gonna have a great time!

[@JoseRos-fs9dg]

Do you think a FS bike would've helped? or is it perfect for a hard tail?

[@preciousbagamaspad9790]

Did you ever figure out what the first campground in your video was? With the bear boxes. Was it north campground?

[@ChadLubinski]

that may be it, yes! It was just a few miles uphill and outside of a lake and a highway where you would then get on the TRT.

[@kruschrhoades]

Why not start a fire when you had no gas?

[@ChadLubinski]

fire restrictions, unfortunately.

[@mray8519]

I did the flume trail years ago when all the steel bars were sticking out of the ground in one section. I thought I would end up with my son impaled like a fish on one of them. 😮😮😮

[@ChadLubinski]

RIGHT! Like WTF!!!!
