Bikepacking The Hunt 1000 | Melbourne to Canberra | Ep.7

In this episode, I continue my incredible journey from Cooma, heading towards the picturesque town of Adaminaby for my final night under the stars. The following day is an absolute treat as I navigate through some of Canberra's finest champagne gravel roads, enjoying the breathtaking landscapes and savoring the last miles of this epic expedition.
I hope you've enjoyed this little series as much as I have making it. Your support and encouragement have really motivated me to keep on pushing my creativity in the edits.
One confession. I did film an unpack of The Donna when I finished this ride so please let me know if you have unanswered questions or thoughts you'd like me to share and I'll do my best to work on one final episode as 'The Unpacking' to close off this chapter.

Well done! This has been so much fun to follow along. It's been my daily treat over the last week or so to watch your fun and clever videos. I've really enjoyed it all, very inspiring and I can't wait for the next series...

[@Likeafroginasock]

Thanks for allowing us a glimpse into your journey, good viewing, inspiring and good fun....cheers

[@trevortilley5028]

Well done, I watched all the videos. Bike packer / tourer are a very strange but very special breed.

[@scout8co]

Cheers, you're right! It's a strange but rewarding world of bike touring and adventure.

[@nedt]

Chapeau! What in inspiration. Thank you for sharing!

[@chrisaustin8913]

[@UntitledCyclist]

Incredible achievement! So inspiring :)

[@scout8co]

Thanks so much for the comment. Really appreciate it. Cheers 🚲

[@BJsBigAdventures]

Thanks for putting this together from a fellow 2024 hunter. I have never binge watched anything until now. Your comment about having a silly grin on your face riding into Canberra brought back that great feeling of accomplishment that I had doing the same.

[@scout8co]

😊 Thanks for your comment. I'm glad you enjoyed it. It was awesome for me going back through all the footage. My whole family has commented that they've never seen me so chatty. Put it all down to the good vibes of trail life. 🚲

[@briantyhy4880]

Watched all seven of your utubes and can honestly say that you did a great job making these videos. Very professional produced, great music and three snakes Congrats finishing the adventure ride. cheers thanks for posting

[@scout8co]

Thank you so much, really means a lot. I tried to push myself to tell a story. I’ve learned a lot along the way. First purchase will be a wind cover 👍

[@rexringschott]

Impressive

[@bonesx165]

What a cracking adventure! Super effort all round, and your enthusiasm was frankly infectious. Just binged all the episodes in one hitout! You’re a great storyteller, and that set the series apart. 👏👏👏 But to be honest, you hooked me in Ep1 with the sneaky Mental as Anything cameo. Was that song your dog’s choice!😋 Good luck in the future, and look forward to following your next outing. Thx

[@sharonrae429]

Thank you for a great series of videos on the Hunt 1000. Very inspiring and loved your McGyver effects 😂

[@scout8co]

Thanks so much for your comment. I had a ball putting this together. I'm glad there are people out there with the same silly sense of humor as me 🤣

[@Too-Bye]

Hey Keryn , I enjoyed seeing someone else's experience on last year's Hunt. Great series 👍

[@scout8co]

Thanks for watching. I watched along with your series too. I'm really glad you shared yours so I could see some of the type 2 fun from the Jagungal Wilderness. From the looks of it, I think I might have been under biked.

[@Too-Bye]

@scout8co The night you slept in the bin shed, we were a few km ahead of you at Hotham. That was a crazy night. We were looking at your dot and couldn't work out where you'd camped.

[@EddieSmith917]

Great series & looks like a great ride. Not so sure about this Dan Hunt bloke though 🤔 For $350 - $550 id expect him to ride beside me with an umbrella when it rains & greet me at his grand finish with a case if VB & a take away chicken snitty

[@streddaz]

What a great adventure! Did you ever get that fly out of your nose?😂

[@scout8co]

Haha. I want to say yes but sadly I'm 99% certain there is a hitch-hiking fly skeleton somewhere in my nasal cavity. 🤣

[@Mark-u2b3f]

Hi mate. I have a gravel/tour bike. And I was wondering what rack you are using on rear of that bike as I have no bottom eyelet at bottom of rear wheel.

[@scout8co]

Hi Mark, thanks for your comment. I love this rack. It was my first time using it and now I'm not leaving home without it. It's called the Aeroe Spyder Rack (link below). Bit pricey at $240 AUD but well worth it. It clamps on using fabric loops and not bolts that will easily sheer off on bumpy roads. Can add on to it as well and gives options if you don't want to use a saddle bag like I did. I ordered another one the other day for another bike and it was delivered in a couple days. 🚲 aeroe.com/products/spider-rear-rack?srsltid=AfmBOoql965Zc4uyQV20bJ0wrfsq9K-t1WgWAVDEoj7ENCMTIrWv-uY0

[@Mark-u2b3f]

@@scout8co thanks for that. I was looking at the Spyder the other day and nearly bought it. Thanks for the reply as it has confirmed what I was thinking of.✌️ Safe and happy travels going forward K😃
