"How I started Bikepacking, and Stories from Around the World" - w/ Fadam and Friends Podcast

A couple weeks ago I had the pleasure of sitting down to talk bikepacking with Adam of the Fadam and Friends podcast. Adam already released the episode but I thought I would put it out here in case you missed it. The episode gives some background into my start in bikepacking and background growing up in Minnesota. Adam shares some hilarious stories as well from our years growing up in high school.

Listening from Hungary…. Awesome!!! If you ever come back be sure to spend some time! We even have bikepacking events like Hungarian Divide and Balaton Bike Derby now.

[@KarlKroll]

Thanks! Will do!

[@LewiBlake]

Great stuff Karl!

[@KarlKroll]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

[@AnEnglishmaninFinland1]

Interesting podcast, thanks for sharing some of your stories with us and about your bikepacking history!

[@KarlKroll]

My pleasure Simon, thanks for listening and for Fadam and Friends for recording the podcast

Hi, I'm from Paraguay. About the dogs situation. Here in South America there really are way too many stray dogs everywhere. And they're so aggressive because most people mistreat them. They attack bicycles and motorcycles too. Sometimes even cars 😅😂

[@KarlKroll]

Sad about there being too many, in most parts I didn't have issues, Peru was the worst in my experience. Sadly I never made it to Paraguay so I dont know about things there but hope to make the trip someday to enjoy a Paraguayan Mate, I've heard they are good! Indigenous culture in your country really interests me as well.

[@AlanSchiller]

@@KarlKroll it would be really nice to have you here. I would recommend you to try our chipa and drink a good cocido con leche. Which is a hot beverage made from yerba too, but it has milk. Waiting to see you around these parts

[@LarryMullins111]

Just discovered your channel...GREAT STUFF! Ever biked through Mongolia?

[@KarlKroll]

Thank you Larry! I was actually thinking about it yesterday but I haven't, someday! Currently biking in Northern Alaska 🤟

[@rustyh711]

The guy doing this interview does not have a clue about anything

[@KarlKroll]

He's learning! 😅
