Great video, I live in Bariloche and know quite well the places shown in this video.. I love the way you show the area , keep up the good work. Saludos

[@KarlKroll]

Saludos Martin, What a wonderful place to call home! I spent more than a week in Bariloche and it was very hard to leave.

Thank you for watching Alex!

[@AnEnglishmaninFinland1]

Awesome love your videos Karl, new bikepacker here, all inspired by you and many others! Ride on brother✌️😊

[@KarlKroll]

Welcome to the gang! Glad you are enjoying the videos and enjoy the ride!

[@bessokeks4006]

that lake... gorgeous!

[@KarlKroll]

yes, the area of Chile and Argentina here are the Lagos region and are absolutely beautiful

[@potat0wned52]

Hey Karl, just finished re-watching all the TJN videos again. Do you have footage of the rest of the trip(s)? Would you ever continue the video series? Either way, I've really enjoyed all your videos, so thanks!

[@davidp7414]

Beautiful and inspirational. Was agonizing on whether to join a tour next month, this helped me decide to go! Got to get out there!

[@KarlKroll]

excellent, Enjoy your trip David!

[@Biking360]

Wow! I can't believe you have your own fishing rod and catch your won fish. Plus, you forage for berries too! So impressive. Great video and document of your journey!

[@KarlKroll]

Thanks for watching the videos! just sharing the experience to get more people out there!

[@CanadianSledDog]

That must have been quite the experience getting those gifts from the land! I'll be bringing a rod on all my future bikepacking trips for sure, one fish would be worth all the "grams" in the world!

[@KarlKroll]

I agree, sometimes it isn't about saving weight and flying but about getting in closer contact with the land and streams you are traveling through!

[@CanadianSledDog]

@@KarlKroll exactly! That's why I like to travel by bike, it's just fast enough to cover ground, but not too fast.

[@tenminutetokyo2643]

Epic.

[@extraniamiento3104]

Hi Karl, I'm trying to understand the route you took from end of Carretera Austral into Argentina. I understand you went East to Cochamo (instead of taking the ferry and cycle to Puerto Montt). What route did you took from Cochamo in order to get to the Cardenal Samore pass? The highway seems to continue to Osorno but it seems quite a detour.

[@KarlKroll]

I went along some smaller roads, I believe camping along Lago Rupanco before reaching Entre Lagos and heading up towards Paso Cardenal Samore.

[@extraniamiento3104]

@@KarlKroll thanks! That's more or less what I figured. That area is beatiful

[@panchoxbrr301]

That giant list of gear and you didn't mention what fishing pole you use or which reel failed on you ? I want to know what you use for bait down there ? I'm from north east US but figuring fish don't know where they live and eat whatever is local for them, so what is it. Great video (they seem to be getting better as you go) keep it up and have fun.

[@KarlKroll]

lol, Glad you enjoy the videos! Trout everywhere like the same stuff and I usually use spinners for a spinning rod/reel. I couldn't find my exact rod/reel combo but it is nothing special. My reel is actually something cheap from a tiny gift shop in Bariloche Argentina. Rod only - amzn.to/3oqrks9 or rod + Reel amzn.to/3yjEdbW would be good options. The thing is, you will eventually break a reel or rod while bikepacking so to reduce the pain I like to keep it inexpensive. Cheers!

[@emretufan5579]

your videos are peaceful, thanks for sharing :)

[@KarlKroll]

Thank you for watching Emre!

[@RogerMain]

Thanks for posting Goof food and a big salmon. Live it up...

[@RogerMain]

Good food 😋 I meant

[@KarlKroll]

Thanks for watching Roger!

[@rytispetrikenas1021]

hi where you keep yours fishing rod on the bicikle ❤

[@KarlKroll]

Hi Rytis! I mount it to the front of my handlebar bag, it seems the best way to keep it protected from damage 👍 happy trails!

[@solitudeinthewild82]

Great video, my friend! Enjoyed watching, your cooking and bushcraft skills are terrific! And the surrounding nature is amazing. Cheers from Russia, Karl, and welcome to my channel about special Russian bushcraft tips and hacks! Regards, Yuriy!

[@KarlKroll]

Glad you enjoyed it, I hope to cycle your country someday my friend! Maybe you can teach me some ways of the Russian bushcraft

[@wishfull9036]

Just a suggestion Karl. You can pack some highly nutritious food like peanut, peanut butter, beans, lentils. A lot protein and energy for the weight. Better than escargots ;D

[@KarlKroll]

haha, I do pack all those when I can! No comment on the escargot once is enough🤣

[@KarlKroll]

I often call my fishing pole my entertainment item when I am bikepacking, anyone else out there have a unique item they bring for entertainment when on the road?
