Beautiful video, music, editing, and vistas! Congrats on the amazing trip and surviving all the rain and tornados! 💪

[@SaltyBeard_Adventures]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it... last episode just uploaded last night :)

[@heyjudesadventures]

Beautiful country. Those were some huge puddles! Thanks for sharing your adventures 😊

[@SaltyBeard_Adventures]

The joy of riding in the spring... LOL

Did the LDW this summer and it sure was a blast! Really nice video. Particularly enjoyed the music :) I am looking into the BC Epic 1000 for next year. Will go have a look at your video series. Cheers from Montreal! 🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️

[@SaltyBeard_Adventures]

Between all my videos you'll get a good view of the route. I like riding it backwards (westward). But you miss the comradely of the mass start and cool people.

[@veloaa-montreal6924]

The Grand Depart had about the same amount of water! A big thanks again to Eric and Jen, this route is really amazing!

[@SaltyBeard_Adventures]

Yeah, from looking at peoples pictures, didn't look any drier.

[@andreforget7593]

nicely done! Thank for taking the time to ride out here!

[@SaltyBeard_Adventures]

It was a nice change of scenery and pace ~ I used to live in Ontario for a while & rode many of those areas, it was a nice vacation - even it was rainy.

H2OH! Have you heard of Trenchfoot? When I rode around Haida Gwaii I just wore Gore-Tex socks in my Shimano sandals all the time. Excellent photography and production, as usual. You inspire me.

[@SaltyBeard_Adventures]

Oh yeah.... 3 days of wet feet makes them pretty wrinkly... mind you, they did dry out every night. I've spent other trips with wet feet for weeks. Really does suck.

I'm a forestry worker and it's a real job hazard for me. One thing that's worked for me is NRS Boundary Socks with the hydro cuff leg gasket.

Another excellent video as always. For Chamois Cream, I bought some flip top oval bottles from Litesmith. I use them for my toiletries too. I wrote on the bottle what is inside. That way I carry what I need, and don't have the extra waste of the disposable containers.

[@SaltyBeard_Adventures]

I need to do more "pre packing" like that. At least the Chamois Butter packs are 100% biodegradable. Better than most things we find these days.

[@teddgram]

@@SaltyBeard_Adventures I did not know that about their single packs. I wish I saw more of that.

[@TapioBlue]

Yeah we've had crazy amounts of rain in the east this year. The bugs are loving it! I'm waiting for a better weather window for my next pedal adventure.

[@SaltyBeard_Adventures]

I lucked out and was in between mosquito & black fly hatches. Could have been worse.

[@CanadianSledDog]

What a perfect campsite!

[@SaltyBeard_Adventures]

It was pretty nice. I secretly wished I had my fly fishing gear with me.

[@mikedesrochers]

Nice one Salty!

[@SaltyBeard_Adventures]

Thanks / glad you enjoyed it.

[@subliminalfreedom]

Lovely!

[@blueman5924]

Nice Flic ! No clip-in sport sandals available for inclement weather travels ? Safe travels ‘o Salty Beard.🤙

[@SaltyBeard_Adventures]

Nah... but funny enough, I had picked up some cheap crushable boat shoes for this trip, the day before. I did say "cheap" / the seam at the back cut my skin instantly on my Achilles on my first walk - ouch - I tried everything to scrub, scuff, grind, and cut the little sharpness away, but to no avail, they still dug in. Must have been some little plastic bits or something. I tossed them before getting on the flight. LOL

[@Bikepacking]

Bike setup looking goon man can you do a complete gear list video

[@SaltyBeard_Adventures]

sounds like a plan.. I"ll put it on my idea board for this summer. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@susanb4816]

Why not put the socks on your handlebars and pedal barefoot until they’re dry?

[@SaltyBeard_Adventures]

Have you tried to pedal barefoot, off road on clip-less pedals? NOT

[@susanb4816]

@@SaltyBeard_Adventures lol, no i have no idea just watching videos to learn before i get a bike and give it a go. I just know wet feet are not healthy feet i might carry options? Go gentle, i am a novice, almost lol

[@jamescarioti390]

Hey Salty, do you carry a personal GPS communicator? If so what type do you prefer?

[@SaltyBeard_Adventures]

Yes I do... just the basic (older) Gen 3 SPOT
