[@oldshovel]

So good. Wise words at the end.

[@PorterMTB]

Thanks!!

[@mountainbikingwithlogan6163]

Hey guys! I’ve been a huge fan for a while and me being 13 I really look up to the boys. it’s really cool how they have a dad who is amazing at jumping and who has a WHOLE backyard of jumps! Y’all are so lucky!!!😂✨✌️

[@PorterMTB]

Thanks for following along, it's cool to share what we do! Hope you have a great day!

[@mountainbikingwithlogan6163]

@@PorterMTB you too!

[@Erik-py4jm]

Great info! I really appreciate the attention to detail. 60% of weight in the back and 40% in the front to maintain good steering!

[@PorterMTB]

Thanks, glad that helped! I could have talked for 2 hours in this video about bikepacking, so much info to cover!

[@chrisyang6791]

Great and inspiring video. I'm planning a family bikepacking trip for the summer. The kids are now 12 and 15 and it would be a great adventure for the entire family.

[@kabel74]

I tremendously enjoy all your videos. And all of them share one thing in common. I can't stop smiling watching them from start to finish. Keep it coming 🙂

[@PorterMTB]

That’s awesome to hear, thank you!!! Have a great day!

[@KedsBilaya84]

so much help for bikepackers like us eric..salute for you and your family 🇵🇭… safe rides….

[@PorterMTB]

Thanks!! Good to hear from a fellow bikepacker, it's the best. So cool to get my whole family out on their first trip!

[@blain5827]

Took my family, wife and 10 and 13 year old this pass spring on their first 60 rail trail bike pack trip on the new river trail, planing an 80ish mile trip this fall on greenbrier rail trail this fall and hope to do the 180 mile C&O Canal Towpath next year. Not a backwoods adventure but still an amazing way to bikecamp ✊✌️

[@PorterMTB]

That's awesome you got them out on an adventure like that! Always a good time!

[@CROBOY08]

Hey your channel has really inspired me to build my own mountain bike track and got for bike rides more often

[@PorterMTB]

That's awesome to hear!

[@motionstudio77]

Cool video, thanks for the great sharing Eric 👍👍

Just finished the Seth video, got bored. And then this came along!

[@PorterMTB]

Perfect timing!

[@The_RC_Dude]

Super cool and informative video Eric! I can't all those supplies on the deck are now all in the bike bags!

[@PorterMTB]

Thanks! It is crazy seeing all the gear on the deck and then packed!

[@LovetheIPAs]

This video is organized extremely well! Thanks for the clear explanations and all the information 👍

[@PorterMTB]

Thanks, really appreciate that, hope it helped you plan a fun adventure yourself!

[@05GDF]

Very informative video Eric🤘 Keep up the awesome work 🙌 Come back in July, new hilltop bike park and hit up Alyeska when it's running 🤙

[@PorterMTB]

I can't wait to get back there, the new stuff at hilltop looks great, and I definitely love riding Alyeska!

[@mattspen]

This is great information! Thanks! I’m ashamed to admit bike packing is three years in the making for me. My first custom build from scratch took two years to get it all right and now that it’s finally built, bags and all, I never went this summer 🙄

[@PorterMTB]

Glad that helped! That's ok to take your time, hope you make it out next summer! Even if you just get out for a quick local overnight you'll have a blast and learn a lot. I learn new stuff every time I go!

[@lance7762]

Sick video! My dad and I are pretty experienced mountain bikers and will soon be ready to go on our first bikepacking trip up in Montana, Wyoming, and cross into Canada. This will be my good grade Senior grad trip hahah. Keep up the work man!

[@PorterMTB]

That's awesome, sounds like it'll be a great trip, I wanna go!!

[@joshlepoer8416]

i just starting to get in to down hill riding and i have a good bike but im not shore what presher to put in my suspenshion

[@PorterMTB]

That's awesome! I'd look up your model and year fork online to find the manual, it should have the recommended pressure and other settings.

[@luanacarvalho3985]

Família linda 🤩 amei seus vídeos eu e minha família também fazemos bikepacking e gostamos muito desse mundo de pedal 🚴🚴

[@jenskrisinger5259]

Hi, I couldn’t find links to the actual bike packs you guys used.. you all use fullies to bike around therefore that information would be great to have! Thx from Germany!

[@PorterMTB]

Hey!! Great question, we used bags from Revelate Designs from Alaska, I think they are the best bikepacking bags out there. They have a lot of different designs for different bikes, and they could help you figure out which bags would fit your bike the best.

[@zacharypump5910]

That lezyne hand pump has two sizes (medium, small), which did you get?

[@ajd-tv3126]

Where are some places to go bike parking (in the us) I don’t know where to go and need to find out drone a pro like you

[@PorterMTB]

Trailforks is a great app to help you find places to ride, or check mtbparks.com !

[@domroy]

Looks so fun!! Thanks for the video!

[@PorterMTB]

It was fun, thanks for watching!

[@lynxg4641]

Awesome little info vid to help explain bike packing, hope a lot of people see it and get inspired. Got to ask, who was the 5th person in the group, never saw them in any of the shots, but someone was hand holding the camera at the end when you all were in shot saying all the gear was in all the bags, or did you have the camera in a small tree that was being wind blown? 😆

[@PorterMTB]

Glad you enjoyed the vid! I brought my friend and pro filmer Justin Olsen along to shoot all the videos in the AK series, he's awesome.

[@otistimms]

Bike packing must be fun, I want to try it one day

[@PorterMTB]

It's awesome, I hope you do!

[@fletcherfield6220]

@@PorterMTB Thanks, in such a world as today's, your vids mean a lot!

[@ellenirion9581]

We love your channel! Especially our 5 year old son whose name is Porter! Your boys inspire him to get out on pump tracks and trails. We live in Salt Lake and my husband and I are hoping to take our first bike packing trip next season…any recommendations for a destination relatively close by for beginners?

[@PorterMTB]

That's awesome! Hope I run into you guys sometime! For something close and easy, I would look at doing an out and back type trip, maybe check out Strawberry Narrows? It's got water, fun trail, and is not too far away!

[@herrtuug]

I mean.. Owen at the last minute. That looked really important !!

[@PorterMTB]

Haha yeah

[@maxdanielson7087]

Hey eric. I love your vids and what you do. I am on my local mountain bike team and race in the summer. Now that Summer is pretty much over, I want to get into skiing this winter. What ski resort do you recommend for beginners around park city. I live in utah county, in Pleasant grove btw

[@PorterMTB]

Thanks, really appreciate that! Skiing is so much fun, if you live in Utah County your easiest place to go will definitely be Sundance. I love it there, great place to learn as well!

[@mattspen]

I used to live in PG, go Biking Vikings. Another cool thing about Sundance is that the offer various time options and cheaper pricing. Warning night skiing at Sundance can get icy as they are lower elevation. Watch high temps for above freezing. Brighton also has good beginner terrain and night skiiing and 2.5k higher. Search for lift ticket deals. (Park City would be an expensive bunny hill for your first time.)

[@SuperRiderTV]

Has anyone ever gotten sneaky on a bike packing trip and hidden heavy rocks in the packs, just to mess with people (like the filmer)? Because that would be hilarious!

[@PorterMTB]

Hahaha still one of the funniest stories. We'll have to tell that one on camera one of these days!

[@brighamyates]

Awesome, thanks! Hope you have a great day!

[@bikingwithmandm9882]

Sick Can you do a Dh bike vid or a 2 hand bike challenge

[@AdiLevinson]

Love the video! Would a gravel or road/ endurance bike work as well and have you ever gone on long trips with either of those bikes? Never thought about the water filter in a bladder configuration. That's CLUTCH!

[@PorterMTB]

I also love bikepacking on gravel bikes, and have done a few trips like that. Here's an older video we made on gravel bikes, with a mix of pavement, gravel, and singletrack. The filter I used is my favorite because you can bring extra water with you to camp if you can't be close to a river! The one I use is in the video description! kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3PPmXl8iauNsM0

[@AdiLevinson]

Where do you buy your salami

[@PorterMTB]

Here's the easiest way, but they are also in lots of stores including most starbucks locations! www.amazon.com/stores/Creminelli/page/5FA58875-AC6B-4ECA-B72D-D98188CB18EF?ref_=ast_bln

forget about the bears what about the beer. eh!!

Haha yeah that's a little tougher to pack!

[@mtndrew9624]

what about water

[@PorterMTB]

We used a water filter to purify our water to drink, it's pretty important to find water sources when planning your route!

We packed tamales for our bikepacking lol
