Agreed I am thinking of getting a Fatbike would love to hear your thoughts see your gear. I have 20 acres of land at 4600ft on the side of Mt. Annie here in Washington state. It is 6 miles to where my Mailbox will be(where the paved maintained roads end), mostly goat paths and wagon trails to get there lol. I am thinking a Fatbike would be a good option for me.

Beautiful sceneries. I had never seen salmon going up to spawn. I am not familiar with that area of Ontario. I have driven through Ontario many times on my way back and forth from the east coast to the west coast. I occasionally stopped in little towns and big cities but never did any camping. Those fat tire bikes look awesome. You guys are well equipped. What was that powder for the water bottles? Good advertising for Aquafina with that bottle on the table. Mike look some good. And... I was curious about Nakee Butter and went on line to find out more about it. I believe I can introduce it into my keto lifestyle. I just need to find out if I can buy it at "Au Grain de Blé", a health food store in my area. If not, I will order it on amazon. Great video.

I'm liking the hastings heritage trail section. Looking to do it with the wife possibly in august or September towing my kid in a trailer. Would you say this is possible with a trailer? Is there crown land for camping on the hastings section?
@DrenalinAdventures4 жыл бұрын
The rail trail sections are very well maintained and towing a trailer would not be a problem. During our whole trip the only chance or place to camp on crown land was the one time we did it next to the lake. It was just lucky that we came across a clearing because its thick bush all along the trail.

@foxxy25835 жыл бұрын
@@mikelees5093 The kick stand can get in the way of things. It rattles around when going over bumps. If you have disc brakes like these bikes, the kick stand will probably not work as the positioning of the stand will have to be forward, which will result in an unbalanced kick stand. There are plenty of reasons why.
