I'm so happy to have stumbled across your documentation of your journey (well, not 100% because I just spent the past hour and a half watching them when I should be working on other things).

Completely crazy loading yourself and bicycle with that insane amount of equipment! Bring what you need, not what you want. I travelled half a year, 8000 km. Tenting all over Northern/Eastern Europe until snow arrived, with some 15 kg.. Never missed a thing, but went fast, comfortable and easy.

[@sequoiasemperviren3163]

I bought a Rad Bikes RadWagon with extra batteries I intend to use for touring. Being a former backpacker and an engineer, this video give me the confidence I can pack what I need efficiently with the rack space my bike affords.

[@andrec.6271]

Interresting video. I'm just retired and I buyed an eBike to bike camping around. I just came back from a three weeks trip in Quebec province and I prepare a second one.

[@gauloisrefractaireenexilvo4366]

Thank you for sharing this info Adam. I learned a lot watching this video. You need the strength of a bull to ride a touring bicycle laden with 36 Kg. That's really impressive. Adding to all of that there is your own weight, this means you can't compromise on the wheels' quality. Happy Cycling!

[@AdamHugill]

Very true about the wheel quality. The $5 Chinese rim did ok for 7,000km but hopefully the new rim I have will last me for the rest of the journey.

[@OmmerSyssel]

It's plain crazy carrying that much load! All sorts of issues prescribed.. 12-15 kg is possible, and the outcome is way more comfortable and relaxed for the rider and bicycle. Been riding during Scandinavian winter with that amount equipment ⛺☃️🤷🏼

[@the1andonly]

Thanks for showing. I have done some very long tours (not quite 400 days in one shot) and my setup is similar in some ways, but very different in others. I'm not sure if I'd like to strap so much stuff to my handlebars. I use a modified rear rack for two medium size panniers which are usually loaded light with clothing. The back has my camping and cooking gear, as well as tools and spare parts (tubes, cables, patches). I will probably make a video on it soon, inspired by yours, even though a long tour is not immediately on the agenda (Covid). I subscribed and wish you happy trails.

[@SC-hk6ui]

Can you add a link to your vid when you do it Jorg? The specialized pizza rack was my choice with Carradry front panniers. Snap one up while they are still around.

[@laur-unstagenameactuallyca1587]

I love the amount of stuff you have, you don't compromise on the "little luxuries" of preparedness. I like the idea of having two of some stuff (like how you have 2 multi tools) because I'm also the type that just likes to be prepared for everything. This is how I'd pack my panniers too if I went bike touring. I wish I could carry as much as you do on your bike but I'm not as strong so I'll just watch and imagine me doing the same in some alternate universe lol.

[@shaneruddock-pedallingtheg8114]

Good to see buddy. After having too many problems with the msr Whisperlite clogging on first day of use switching to primus omnifuel which also wouldn't always ignite simply I'm beginning to just use penny stoves and pure denatured alcohol. Saves so much weight. I use a trangia pot stand for the Coke can penny stoves and an array of Robens pans and a trangia frying plate for maybe the occasional egg. Alcohol for lighting stoves is available in a lot of hardware shops. And in camping shops Coleman fuel which burns very sooty and like petrol quite lethally and too quickly. I mean the flames are huge when using Coleman vs a bbq lighter fluid etc. You'll be surprised a penny stove can stay lit for easily 20 minutes per filling. I make 3 of them just in case I want to cook more than one pot at a time..

[@rrMuraliRamsamy]

Quick tip for sun glasses Avoid scratches Wrap them in a thin plastic cover or smallest carry bag that we get easily at any super market stores . So can keep it alongwith other stuff.

[@eisvogel8099]

Just fantastic. You got what you need and do what you want to do. What else is or should life be about?

[@james83992]

Great video. Very interesting. Especially that you changed handlebars. I have a Fuji touring disc brake bike that came with drops but right now I'm only it ten miles max. Possibly I'd feel different riding it loaded all day.

[@sw0mpy]

Wow, this is actually the first video where I see people packing stuff to take care of their bike chain. Taking care of your bike on longer trips is really underestimated. I also carry a rag to clean my bike chain. For lubricant I use simple WD-40. I don't have chain brush with me. I have heard that if you tape two old tooth brushes together you can clean your chain that way. But I usually clean my bike at power wash stations. If that is not possible I take 1 L plastic bottle and I make a small puncture on the cap and spray my chain with it. It usually gets rid of most of the dirt and for smaller bits I just use the rag.

[@OmmerSyssel]

WD-40 is nothing but overpriced perfurmed kerosene ... Tried wax?

[@tomybino1426]

Really nice. I am still with the traditional touring setup. Adam have you ever wondered how it is going to feel to readjust to normal life if you ever decide stop touring. I just came back from work and I am thinking how much I do not like the rat race life here in uk. People at work are making problems about silly things and I know that there is so much more to life than work money buying house blablabla. In the end we all die and it is important to design our own lives. I have a 5 year old daughter and wife. We did some short touring adventures and we would like to go for a longer trip, but I we are very anxious about jumping out from the rat race and then coming back to it again just to start everything from the beginning. We have all we need including skills and equipment, and we could leave tomorrow. The 5 year old can smash 60km in her wehoo. We have been saving for a house so there is money maybe for a 1.5 years touring, but then if we spend it all, we would come back to nothing one day. Problem is that we feel trapped in some sort of system that is sucking our lives out. So so soul destroying. It feels that bicycle is the only escape....

[@AdamHugill]

It's a tough decision to make to decide to live a life like the one I am living. We can become trapped by societal pressures and the cycle is difficult to break. It took me 5 years from coming up with the idea to travel the world by bike to actually doing it. I left a secure job, sold everything and I eventually broke up with my wife. I have no intention of ever returning to what most people would consider being "normal life". Even before I started this journey, my life wasn't "normal". Normal for me meant living in Cyprus, travelling overseas on military deployments and exercises all over the world and working with some of the most talented and loyal people you could imagine. I wouldn't say to anyone that they should do what I am doing. It's absolutely not for everyone. I asked myself could I live with the regret of not doing it and ultimately the answer was no. Having a daughter and a partner makes your decision different to mine but there is a way to live a life with more adventure without feeling trapped by the rat race.

[@fredsting8540]

@@AdamHugill a military man!!! Makes sense to leave that life. Easy decision really

[@ChrisPBaconn]

I’m actually looking for someone to do a trip with, if anyone could point me in the right direction of where I might find some information or likeminded people who are up for an adventure. I’ve been thinking about doing it for so long that I’ve decided to just go for it while I’m still young and fit enough. I can’t get old and sit regretting what I could’ve done.

Your “just stuff it more or less anywhere” attitude is very refreshing. You could really easily shed a load of weight without sacrificing comfort or safety but you probably know that because you’re the one cycling around the world! But, you gotta tell me, What the FCK is a cook-set maintenance kit! ? 🤔🤔

[@AdamHugill]

It’s for the MSR stove. It has spare parts and a tool to take it apart and clean it if it gets blocked. It was invaluable when my stove stopped working in the middle of the Sierra Nevada mountains and I was days away from any stores.

Very interesting video. Your flat pack cooking kit is great! Something that concerns me about a ride across Europe I am planning is how to deal with sheep dogs in E. Europe. I have been chased before and it is no fun. It would be interesting to know if you have had any issues with animals and how you dealt with them.

[@AdamHugill]

I’ve had to deal with some dogs in Thailand but from what I’ve heard, those dogs in Eastern Europe can be worse. Personally, it doesn’t bother me too much. I’m fairly confident around dogs so I find being calm and appearing human I the dog can help. Failing that, deploy the stick to o fend off any super vicious beasts.

[@WanderABit]

Thank you for sharing, this is one solid video! Two tips from my side, changing pedals to the model that takes hex key (or ideally hex key and pedal wrench) would eliminate the need for pedal wrench. Another one, I recommend chain lubes based on wax (like White Lightning), IMHO they are superior to traditional lubes, because they get dirty after much longer period of time, they don't bring almost any dirt to other parts (like cassette and jockey wheels). This could save you some weight on chain cleaning tools. And since I have the same or similar Lezyne multitool -- what makes you say it is rubbish? My only complain is fixed hex keys, but currently only Blackburn makes multitool with detachable hex keys and only in single model. Pity it is not standard nowadays.

[@AdamHugill]

Thanks for the tips. I’d say the multi tool is rubbish as it’s really fiddly to do anything with it. It does everything for sure, but it does everything poorly.

Difficult to say on average as it’s so location dependent. In Cambodia, Laos I would have been using it daily with tap water from gas stations. In Alaska/Yukon I was using it daily on the long remote stretches. As I’m now in less remote areas, it gets used much less.

Thanks for being down to earth Adam. There are a few questions. Why the B17 and not the Flyer? Do you get coated in mud (guards)? what about the specialized pizza rack - or is there more to go wrong? And lastly, when can we all meet up in the UK for a drink. Are you having a summer party for your fans yet?

[@AdamHugill]

Thanks Simon. I’ve no real preference to which Brooks saddle is best. I suppose I went for the B17 as it was in stock at my local bike shop and it’s been great for me. Mud guards definitely help in wet conditions. I chose to remove mine as they were bent and were becoming annoying. I know people that use the pizza style rack and love it. If it work for you, go for it. Let’s hope a summer party can go ahead.
