So appreciate your honesty and reality check about the laundry and one person waiting the hotel room 😂 Such a helpful video, thanks guys!!

[@PursuingMountains]

Thank you! Glad you found it helpful!

[@Scor-ah]

Yes menstrual cups are a must, I dont need them anymore but what a game changer on cycling and backpacking trips. Also hydrocortisone cream for those inflamed hot spots from chaffing is a great thing to have. Gets rid of the pain or itching in minutes. Love your videos

[@PursuingMountains]

Yes, will need to try that next time!

[@ADAMEDWARDS17]

I now need a DaBrim! As a glasses wearer there's nothing worse than being unable to see due to rain on the lenses.

[@PursuingMountains]

We have loved ours and use them all the time!

[@leapintothewild]

I keep waiting for the little windshield wipers on glasses like we were promised in cartoons… 😂

[@eminbk]

I immediately gave a like when the lady commented "or maybe you do" (although I was going to give a like by the end of the video, anyway)! 😂

[@PursuingMountains]

Thanks! -from the lady! (Aka Liz)

Totally recommend the QuadLock. Have used it on Great Divide, Baja Divide and many other trips and it's been stellar. Mostly have the bike mount, but for GD and especially the rough Baja route I used the motorcycle mount. There is not many other routes rougher than that and it was solid all the way for my iPhone.

[@PursuingMountains]

Good to know. I’ve wanted to get one for awhile, I’ll definitely consider it

[@danvance9701]

What a wonderful adventure this was for you. We eagerly anticipated every Sunday episode and enjoyed coming along on the ride. Very well done and thank you so much.

[@PursuingMountains]

Aww thanks! So glad you enjoyed the episodes each week. We have some more adventures coming soon ☺️

[@Naufrago_Noroeste]

Thanks for the video!

[@PursuingMountains]

You’re welcome!

[@Bikepacking]

I never herd you have to replace cassette when replacing chain before that would be really expenive as i replace my chain ever 2000- 3000 miles the cassette i usally replace 20,000

[@PursuingMountains]

I’ve heard that they can wear together, but if you change the chain more frequently you can prevent them from wearing together, so that makes sense.

[@ChristaBusch]

Sehr interessant. Speziell die ausführlichen Erklärungen zu den DaBrim Teilen . Sowas hatte ich noch nie vorher gesehen.

[@PursuingMountains]

It’s been really good for these long tours

[@leapintothewild]

Hey, great list! I’ve got quite a few of these for camping, but wanted to share that a few years ago I switched from that same folding poop shovel to a titanium trowel - much, much lighter esp when you also dont need the heavy carry case. I just put the old folding shovel in my gardening kit! And I’ll second those Ghost puffies! Mine still wears like new and it’s maybe 10 yrs old? I think one of the tricks is always washing with Nikwax Down Wash. Expensive gear is absolutely worth it when you take care of it, and it’s so cool to see your well-loved gear keep going for so long! (YES! Burt’s Bees Pomegranate 💋)

[@PursuingMountains]

I’ll have to take a look at that titanium trowel, we definitely could use less weight 😆. I agree, I would much rather buy something expensive but high quality that will last me a long time

[@Bikepacking]

Het a custom frame bag made by small cottage companies thier water proof and will fit 100% down to mm

[@PursuingMountains]

That sounds awesome

[@Bikepacking]

Looking forward to see the camera gear ps first aid kit ??

[@PursuingMountains]

Yes we brought a first aid kit! We mentioned it super briefly in the video. ☺️

[@symbiketour4704]

Hi..How about medicine you bring along? Thanks for the full gear review

[@PursuingMountains]

In our first aid kit we bring bandaids, Acetaminophen, Ibuprofen and Benadryl, alcohol swabs, Neosporin, and tea tree oil.

[@AcfLavertyy]

What bikes are you guys rocking?

[@PursuingMountains]

Salsa Fargos - they are gravel touring bikes

[@ngauhungtv9476]

Milion like.

[@BartMullin-o3d]

The chain and cassette need ro be replaced at the same time so the wear is even and you don't have shifting issues. This is absolute gospel truth I learned from a mechanic.

[@PursuingMountains]

Yeah, I’ve heard this time and time again. For some reason I thought bringing a spare chain would be useful, but apparently not

[@strega-nil]

This seems like bad advice to me... if you're replacing your chain before it gets too bad, your cassette will absolutely last multiple chains.

[@premtimmareddy7262]

Sir , Can you share the route .

[@PursuingMountains]

Yeah, you can find in on our website: www.pursuingmountains.com
