Thanks for all tips! I also don’t cycle in cycle clothes. I wear what I enjoy wearing - harem pants, cotton t-shirt and barafoot sandals in hot season. Once a bike mechanic told me I don’t have the right clothes when he saw me riding. But I don’t care 🤷‍♀️ I love the feeling of being on a bike and I love to be in the clothes I like.

[@WheelstoWander]

Haha, I always wonder how other people can decide the right gear/clothes for someone else! Good on you 👍

[@umbertocerroni6709]

Coco Chanel avrebbe detto la stessa cosa

[@SuperMougen]

Me too 😊

[@splashpit]

I was cycling in France and was to l the same thing , I was wearing Chinese fishing pants and had just cycled 4000 kilometres so l don’t know shit obviously.

[@nanootours]

Haha! Yes, great choice :) Harem pants all the way :)

[@arquimedesescriggarcia]

Thanks for the huge effort you make!! Its very useful for my trips :)

[@JamesMcS]

That was really great, thank you. Simple yet really well thought out, the colour coding of the bags is a great idea! One less organization thing to think about and a real daily task that helps to get right

[@pawelzochniak3087]

Thanks a lot for all this information. Very useful and helpful in organizing a bicycle trip. I will definitely take a lot of your advice. Once again many thanks Pawel🤗

[@neilburrows6670]

Superb. Loved the little outtakes at the end! :)

[@hybridroundhead4978]

We love you Maudi!

[@kvbcycles]

Nice information once again. Sleeping system looks really interesting, liked that. I also never knew you could put a different ball head on the Joby - nice to know.

[@BikingVlog]

Interesting and thank you. Have a safe trip 💗

[@lunalillysky_ness]

This is very detailed bike packing set up! I am planning my first ever long distance bike packing this summer with my small dog. and your video does help a lot on which ones to carry. I am very excited! Thank you!

[@scenesfromearth4666]

Experience and experimenting are the only ways to finding one's ideal set-up. Thanks for sharing. In remote bike travels, I sure love a little chair to sit on after a long day in the saddle, too. Keep up the great content.

[@livinlarge1247]

Geeat to see you two out there touring. Just clicked on the video here. I will watch it. Thanks for the work.

[@awkwardatlas5623]

As someone who is preparing for my first three-month solo cycle across Japan next year, this was super helpful. Glad to have stumbled across your channel! Excellent content.

Thanks Kenneth!

[@CentraalStationK]

This is your first video I watch, great and very relatable! Decathlon is pretty good for certain things! I've used those waterproof trousers too (just for a couple of days) and was happily surprised by it. Hope it works for longer trips too! Also love the idea to cut up a towel!

[@WheelstoWander]

Thank you Charlotte! Decathlon has some good value items :) All the best for your adventures, E&M

[@anthonybrewer931]

As Always Maudi another very enjoyable and informative video. Relaxed and easy. So much information. As I watched I kept googling the items and shops I hadn't looked at before. You and Eric are very addictive. I've been hooked for a long time now. Keep safe and well Anthony

[@WheelstoWander]

Thanks as always Anthony, great you enjoyed it again! 😊 E&M

[@Neilhuny]

Agreed: very addictive!

[@Michael-tj4my]

thanks, it was very insightful, looking forward to your experiences with the zenbivy

[@WheelstoWander]

I'll remember to share my thoughts on it later on :-)

[@icedclips725]

Can't wait

[@miko007]

i really love your "toned down" style. most people hit the road looking like the crawled out of rainbow valley, and i hate it. nice to see, that there are more people riding in style.

[@crillesryggsack2860]

Thank you for sharing. I just recently got the interest of bikepacking. This will help me out so much when I do my first trip 🙂

[@WheelstoWander]

You too! Have a wonderful journey 🍀

[@stereode1uxe]

Your voice is so calming. After the end of the vid which was informative I found myself less stressed 😌

[@WheelstoWander]

That is so nice to here 😊

[@viveviveka2651]

I really appreciate the in-depth gear reviews, and especially so the firsthand experiences with specific gear. Your comments on the Arc'teryx rain jacket got me re-evaluating the importance of quality (quality of design, materials, functionality, durability, dependability, and quality of user experience). So worth it. 🍀🌻🍀

[@WheelstoWander]

Absolutely, it's a good feeling to have some important gear that you can rely on. You do have to impregnate if from time to time to make sure it stays water resistant. I'd personally say the jacket is more important then the pants as I think your upper body is the most important to keep warm.

[@woodyhuband9248]

I found your channel as I’m thinking about doing a bit of touring in the US. I’ve been watching on this rainy afternoon in Florida and now I feel like a sissy after seeing you ride that snowy pass in Turkey. I should have been out training. This is the best tour documentary I have seen on KZbin. Keep up the good work.

[@WheelstoWander]

Haha yes that's one we won''t soon forget!! Actually that pass in those weather conditions still would be a challenge for us... Thanks for the compliment! 🙏

[@sandraderby1628]

That was very informative!

[@WheelstoWander]

Thanks Sandra!

[@alanhanley9515]

Excellent as ever, balanced and informative, sleep system was intriguing, curious to see how you get on with it.

[@WheelstoWander]

I'll keep in mind to give an update in one of our video's / proper review after a few months!

[@dmitryru53]

Thanks a lot! Really appreciate.

[@knickerbockers2010]

minut 1.58, the type of person germans tried to make in 15 years when i lived there......perfect organisation....but i became chaotic but with a wish to get some organisation :D

[@gowesreborn]

Nice share & info.. keep journey & stay healthy.. fr. Indonesia🚴‍♂️🥰

[@abcdefghijklmnopqrs407]

I'm currently planning my very first trip over several weeks by bike. This video is so well thought out and offers me so many valuable tips! Thank you so much!

[@WheelstoWander]

You too 🙏🏼 Have a wonderful trip!

[@chadkim8724]

I don’t like cycling clothing either, I love your style, great video very refreshing

[@maninder1984]

Great video. Thanks. Coffee for you and Eric.

[@WheelstoWander]

Ahh yes please!! 🥱😋

[@ascot1049]

Brilliant.

[@jeraldheinrich3589]

Alot of good tips. I tour on motorcycle and bicycle. Gear is always changing from old to new to lighter and more compact.

[@WheelstoWander]

Thanks Jerald 😊 All the Best, E&M

[@Just2HepCats]

Love your choice of wardrobe :)

[@WheelstoWander]

Thanks!! 😃

[@TheRAMBOhimself]

Thank you! I am inspired! Ex backpacker with back problems. Looking for something to fill that void and I think this is it!

[@WheelstoWander]

Great to hear that! Wishing you all the best and hopefully it is what you are looking for, E&M

[@aemiliadelroba4022]

Nicely done ✅

[@WheelstoWander]

Thanks Aemilia!

[@shivay1008]

Great video! I'm curious about that sleep system.

[@Neilhuny]

That was superb! Very informative and useful - I shall look in to many of these items... I need a new tent for a 3.5 wk cycle tour in France and was going a bit too expensive and light! I shall scale back a bit on cost

[@WheelstoWander]

Yes it's tempting isn't it 😊

[@MrJx4000]

I can't believe that you manage to pack all that stuff into your bike bags. I guess there's a lot of experience in how you do it; can't wait to see your next videos.

[@WheelstoWander]

Haha yes it seems like a lot but it fits quite well! 🙂

[@jonborzik9002]

What bike you use

[@paulahavens2764]

great video thanks happy trails ahead. I am from Canada.

[@WheelstoWander]

Thank you Paula :) All the best, E&M... p.s. Canada would be great to see some day...

[@patrykblog]

useful as I'm starting my trip from Poland to Iceland in few days, and later Americas. I have similar set, so good to know that I didn't do any overkills with equipment selection :) thanks!

[@WheelstoWander]

Nice! And if you do miss something, or on the contrary don't use some items you can always buy equipment when on tour, or send stuff home (depending on the country, but in most cases...) Wishing you a great adventure, and perhaps our paths will cross in Iceland!

[@patrykblog]

@@WheelstoWander thanks, that's the plan. Yup, hopefully will cross. I will be there in around end of July I think. Going around Iceland. See you on road!

[@mazditzo]

ahhh just love this explanation video bout gears and equipment 😀 I use that rockbros top tube bag for almost three years, not the best but for the price its good value

[@WheelstoWander]

Ahh, so still going strong! That's good to know :-)

[@outlaweric]

I'm downloading this video. Just so much good information and newbs are usually faced with a million options. Of course it all needs to be adjusted for budget, but the recipe is definitely worth referencing. Thanks for the video

[@WheelstoWander]

Cool! Thanks & All the best, E&M

Cling film is something I used to use to make sure the phone stayed dry when I was a bike courier. Wrap it around a few times and place it in water proof case, never had issues.

Dziękujemy.

Ty też! Wszystkiego najlepszego :)

[@pauldarbishire7226]

Hi Maudi - that was great! Really clear, concise and consequential. I liked what you said about not breaking the bank by going for the top of the range stuff. The great thing about KZbin and the internet in general is there are lots of reviews and tests of whatever you are looking to buy. All you need to do is put in the research and make an informed decision. Really looking forward to the next trip especially the UK & Iceland. Stealth camping is illegal in England so you will have to be very stealthy hahaha! Stay safe

[@WheelstoWander]

Thanks Paul! Yes youtube and the internet in general is a great resource! We know about the camping rules in the UK and we'll make sure we're respectful and extra stealthy 😬

[@grahambonner508]

@@WheelstoWander I currently stealth camp twice a week in the UK near my home. Although it is illegal in many places it is accepted, for example in areas where there are long distance footpaths people need somewhere to sleep on the trail, as long as you are respectful and sensible you should be ok, I never had any problems but I do try to make sure I am well hidden.

[@sparkyvespa]

Excellent video and your English speaking is perfect. Thank you.

[@WheelstoWander]

Ahh, that's a nice compliment! 🙏

[@aliaelborai]

Finally a woman on a bike I can relate to!!! Thank you for sharing the way you pack and what you pack :)

[@WheelstoWander]

Thank you Alia! That is nice to hear 😊 Best wishes!

[@srpeters]

A trick I found for an Opinel knife that sticks. Unlock and hold by that end and tap on a hard surface on the butt end. It should pop it open just enough you can open it easier. I have a No. 9 and love it for food prep.

[@WheelstoWander]

Thank you for the trick Scott! We will try it the next time we have a sticky Opinel All the best!!

[@user-px6op9fe3u]

Great video,.

[@WheelstoWander]

Thanks!!

[@VeloObscura]

This is a really nicely made video! One of the nicer ones I've seen of touring setups. I have 2 recommendation which you might already know, but if not you will find them useful. 1. You can get a grinder that fits inside the Aeropress. I think if you're going to go to the effort of packing in an Aeropress for good coffee, then you probably owe it to yourself to grind the beans fresh. I use one from Rhinowares, but it isn't the best - still better than nothing and it's cheap! 2. The "Dead Cat" mic cover on your camera would work a lot better with a little care. You can wash it with mild soap and then after it dries you can use a comb or hair brush to brush it back to life! It sounds crazy, but it really works! You could even try just brushing it without washing it and you might get it fluffed up a little nicer. Great video. Cheers!

[@WheelstoWander]

Haha absolutely right about the aeropress, we'll consider that ;-) And about the dead cat, we do comb our cat, as ridiculous as it feels sometimes 😋 But we've never washed it, good one, we will definitely try that!!

[@bengt_axle]

An old piece of tire (17:43) with the bead cut out is an excellent thing to fix a sharp cut in a tire. I carry small pieces of sidewall in my saddlebag that have two-faced tape applied to it. When you get a big puncture or cut, you can clean the inside of the tire, unpeel the tape backing and place this inside the tire (inside face to inside face). Using just the sidewall is flexible and good enough. At home, I've even made a permanent repair with vulcanizing cement and this has saved me from having to replace a $60 tire. It has even resisted pressure tests to 160PSI. At normal pressures, you will not feel the patch when riding.

[@stridencesuppressor]

I've also used, when in a pinch, a dollar bill wrapped around the inner tube, not a permanent fix, it merely keeps the tube from coming out of the tire, but will buy you time and help get you out of a jam!

[@bengt_axle]

A piece of old race tire (e.g. 28 mm slick) works best because it is pliable yet very stretch resistant. With a very thick tire, you may not have enough space for the tube.

[@damianhill6704]

I carried some park tool "tyre boots" (a large patch with Kevlar in it I think) for 10 years or so and only used one last year after a mega puncture. the packaging was a bit crusty. Praise be to the cycling god's and the schwalbe marathon plus.

[@Romaceylon1993]

Excellent ideas ..🤝🤝❤🙏

[@WheelstoWander]

Thanks so much 😊 All the Best

[@jamlarna]

Hi Maudi , great video and I really appreciate you taking the time to show us every. With regards to the helmet I bought my girlfriend a poc tactical helmet,the same as I use and she absolutely loves it ..... Had mine for 3 years and the liner comes out to wash it . Hope this helps 👍🏼

[@WheelstoWander]

Thank you for the tip! We recently upgrade to helmets from Smith. A much better fit we are both really happy with. We will keep the poc in mind! All the best!

Leuk zeg ! Vind ik heel knap wat jullie allemaal doen hoor 😃

[@WheelstoWander]

Thanks!! :-)

[@petergarner]

Great video, as always. I'm even more impressed now that I know you're editing on a 7-year-old laptop! :) Also, I'm very curious to see how you'll like the Thermarest mattress. We ordered them last year but sent them back before even using them because they make so much noise (we are very light sleepers). We ended up going with a mattress with a lower R value but that is quieter, but we never sleep in sub-zero temps, so I totally get why you would prioritize R value. Hope you'll give an update on how you like the new sleep system at some point in the future. :) All the best and safe travels.

[@WheelstoWander]

Haha! Yes' we're sometimes also impressed by that 😅 I'm also a light sleeper (I do use earplugs) but somehow I prefer this noise compared to my older mat, which has a different sound... And to be honest after sleeping on it now for a few months I'm not bothered by the noise at all which really surprises me. It's also more comfortable (less stiff in the morning) and absolutely warmer which I was quite sceptical about at first, but it does seem to make a big difference. Also very impressed by the zenbivy sleep system. I'm still not sleeping optimally, but I've had some of the best night I've ever had in all the years that we've been sleeping in a tent!! I'll make sure to give an update on it later on :-)

[@arlandgaylor]

Really nice, I ride bikes, but always ride a motorcycle for trips, traveling motorcyclist carry much of the same things, I have a little more space for storage, but all in all the same goods and much of the same technics. You guys be safe, and have fun.

[@WheelstoWander]

Nice to know it's kind of similar! :-)

[@NigelMarston]

I love bike touring kit tips. I was interested in your sleep system - I don't like "mummy" sleeping bags so I've finally found a bag and mat I like however I must say the system you have is intriguing. I like the freedom to move my feet and legs, so I have a rectangular bag, and I prefer the feeling of cotton or polycotton to the sheer/nylon bags. It reduces the choice but I am, at best, a 3-season camper so I don't need anything extremely warm. I have also converted an older bike for touring, although it's only 11 years old. Mine started out as a mountain bike and I have added a taller stem I can sit more upright too. I have removed the front derailleur altogether though because they are the main reason for chain loss. Instead I fitted a narrow/wide chainring which hasn't let me down once. At the rear, I just opted for a wide-range cassette which gives me a low enough gear for climbing hills, and a decent flat cruising gear. Once I get up to my gearing's maximum speed when going downhill, I'm happy to coast anyway. I don't need to go any faster. I am looking at solar panels for charging my power bank. I have a trailer (Topeak Journey) so I would like to mount one flat above the bag. I am worried about the drag that a dynamo hub produces, and solar is free so that's my current focus.

[@WheelstoWander]

The Zenbivy system proves to very comfortable so far. Great to hear you also converted and older MTB 👌🏼 Good luck with the solar power 😊 All the best, E&M

[@Youlube87]

Great video! I like your Icelandic accent! I'm surprised you didn't bring any 66 North clothing! Thanks for all the information!

[@WheelstoWander]

Icelandic, nice ;) I didn't knew that!

[@jthepickle7]

Cycling Miami to Seattle my bike 'jersey' was a white 100% cotton oxford dress shirt. it kept me cool and the long sleeves kept my fore arms from burning. In the pocket I would keep a couple of carrots.

[@jul2958]

to use your phone in the rain, i highly recommend sea to summit brand. I've tested a bunch of nasty cheap phone case, but those from sea to summit are really waterproof and durable (what i'm looking for as a mountain guide.)

[@philipcaldwell3187]

Great informative overview! The MacBook Air with M1 max memory and SSD hard drive is major upgrade and perfect for field content management. Great battery life. Charger is only 30 watts so that results in a much smaller charger and there are a lot power banks out now withe Type C PD charge port that can greatly extend field battery operation. Also the M1 Air does not have a cooling fan so it is absolutely quiet and stays cleaner inside the case since there is no fan pulling in outside air. The M1 has been designed to greatly speed up the content creation experience. I have been using one since they first ship and it is a game changer.

[@petesig93]

I have the Mac M1 Mini for use at home (desktop) and it really is very quiet and fast.

[@WheelstoWander]

Thanks for the detailed description Philip and all great reasons to upgrade! It will definitely be one of our first next investments :-)

[@gurgenmakaryan4428]

That Arcteryx Beta AR is awesome, totally worthed, wind cut, extremely waterproof and breathable, as a pant, I would advice you Gore Wear cycling pant, very light and gore-tex waterproof

[@BluecollarBackcountry]

Hi Maudi. I'm a cold sleeper and considering the Zenbivy system so I will be curious to hear your thoughts on this in the future. If you haven't already experienced rain with the Rockbros top tube bag you may want to use a zip lock bag inside first. I just finished riding the Katy Trail in Missouri here in the states and after a day of rain the inside of mine was soaked. Luckily I used a zip lock bag myself and everything was ok. Take care you two and cheers from Texas ✌

[@WheelstoWander]

Thanks for the tip about the rockbros bag, miraculously we haven't had much rain yet so I haven't been able to test it out under those circumstances, but I do keep some less important stuff in there so it won't matter if it gets wet. If I've tested the zenbivy for a few months I will give an update on it, untill now I've had some of the best nights sleep I've ever had outside which is exceptional (it could also be the mat). i also had some bad nights but the amount of good nights sleep has never been this high. Although I think sleeping comfort is very personal so what might work for perhaps doesn't work for everyone!?

[@jurgenheymans5773]

Quality video. Enjoyed it once more. The right amount of detailled information. Just courious about your experiences with the Qoad Lock phone holder system. I’m planning to buy this but doubting if SP Connect could be better. Looking forward for your feedback.

[@WheelstoWander]

Don't hesitate, it's fantastic (in our opinion)! 👌

[@Petrvs]

Another related question, how it's resisting on the silicone case? Any issues with the adherence between the 2 different materials?

[@alexanderturner3785]

Meinen Dank für die, wie ich finde, sehr gelungene Vorstellung. Hier ein Hinweis von mir zum Opinel... Koch den Holzgriff in Olivenöl, und das Holz wir bei Nässe nicht mehr aufquellen. Viel Glück, Zufriedenheit und Liebe auf all Deinen Wegen.
