SOLO Bikepacking | Bike Camping in the Fall.

[@DavidNorthFilms]

This was a fun trip. My first love will always be canoe camping but I do love to change things up from time to time. There's something great about packing up the bike and heading out on the trails to do a little bikepacking.

[@daretorepair9754]

Well done. Bike packing, camping and fishing. Love it.

[@LokalizeNature]

Great video buddy! Keep wm coming! 😊

[@clodoaldomarques401]

I'm in need of a trip like that for sure..... Dave, you have no idea how good for your mind and body this is.

[@JasonLorette]

Looks fun Dave...glad to see that knee is holding up well!!

[@denniskuenze659]

ATV camping is my all time favorite.

[@DavidNorthFilms]

You know what I have never tried ATV camping but I think I want to give it a try. Same with winter camping with a snowmobile. I really do enjoy the biking and I certainly need the exercise but getting deep into the bush with an ATV would be cool.

[@CampWithKelly]

so funny and so sad when you lost that fish!

[@DavidNorthFilms]

Don't remind me!

[@pyrkol]

Super relaxed video, thank you for sharing.

[@DavidNorthFilms]

Thanks it was a relaxing trip but when I wiped out there was lots of swearing 😂

[@chrisdever6638]

Hey Dave, Really great to see you on another adventure! I haven't tried bikepacking yet, but you make look so fun and easy that I will be trying it soon. Perfect timing on your latest video release, at least for me, as I am going camping this weekend in the Sierras down here in California. Thanks for yet another great adventure!!

[@suezaple4950]

Hey Dave nice to see ya back out camping love that you have a place that you can drive in so cool.That was a big pike Dave you need a net should have kept fishing he probably would have taken it again hopefully someone will catch it but theyll have your lure lol. Beautiful area and trees i feel bike packing would be great. crownland camping ive done , next year i shall be car camping on my way out to NewBrunswick if I can find an area the other side of the ontario Quebec board . This was again a very enjoyable camp trip. Ontario, Canada.

[@denniskuenze659]

A easy solution is to reverse the straps. and use a marlin spike hitch. Love your videos Dan. You always bring a smile to my face. Enjoy Buddy !

[@DavidNorthFilms]

Thanks Dennis, I appreciate it.

[@poppymonroewild]

Haven't done bike camping. I like 4 wheeler camping and canoe tripping the best. Time for a fishing rod upgrade, will help you land those monsters.

[@DavidNorthFilms]

Bike camping is fun, I was surprised how much I enjoyed it. I only go in the fall as the summer is way too hot for me. I still prefer canoe camping. I am looking to upgrade my rod. I still want a collapsible rod for these kinds of trips but they are not as reliable as a normal rod. Losing that fish really pissed me off 😂I was fishing for about 30 minutes and didn't get a bite until that fish and it was pretty big. I felt back that the line snapped and the fish still had the lure attached.

Hi Dave, would have been a lot faster if you put the sausage on the fire pit grill and do smoked sausage. I'm glad to see the knee is doing good did you have both done or just the one.

[@DavidNorthFilms]

Ha, you are correct. Cooking the sausages on the fork took a while so the grill would have helped but to be honest I wanted to try it on the long fork and the grill was really disgusting so I didn't want to cook on it. My knee is doing well. I had one knee down this year but I tore the entire other knee when I was 19, playing hockey and volleyball.

[@OldLostGuy]

Glad to see that your knee is holding up. Just wondering what trail you cycled and park you stayed at. Really enjoy the vids.

[@DavidNorthFilms]

Thanks, the knee is doing well, now I just have to get back into shape! I stayed at Rideau River Provincial Park this time. I was on a few different trails and some highway riding as well. I really didn't like the ride in. I normally bike into the Gatineau Park which has amazing trails. Thanks for watching.

[@shanegrayhamcomms]

Love it. I am a big biker so I love this kind of footage, the more the better. Love the riding shots was that done with a drone? Sorry about the fishing, too bad you had to bring the smaller rod but good on you for bringing any rod,. I always leave mine at home on bikepacking trips!

[@DavidNorthFilms]

Thanks Shane. These are fun videos to make and I love and need the exercise. I do like bringing the collapsable rod but it can be frustrating sometimes

[@Bikepacking]

Very cool video question is there a reason you prefer traditional cycle touring setup over a bikepacking setup

[@DavidNorthFilms]

That's a good question. I have thought of changing up my setup but I have only gone on a dozen or so bikepacking trips in the last few years. Once my current bike dies on my I think I will really look at upgrading my entire setup. thanks.

[@detselom]

Nothing wrong with a little bit of glamping at a park. I like to change it up sometimes .an have some xtra amenities. How far was the bike ride in?

[@DavidNorthFilms]

Yep, I like to do a bit of glamping as well. I do that a lot when biking with the kids. The bike ride was about 60 km and took me about 4 hours because there wasn't a great trail to get there.

[@clodoaldomarques401]

Everyone should find a way to get out of their houses, that makes people sick and we don't notice, till it's too late.....

[@DavidNorthFilms]

absolutely I really enjoy my trips. I wish I had more time to enjoy them but when I am out there I try to make the most out of it.

[@theadventurebiker]

YES!!! LOVE bikepacking! Fantastic video man! 👍 I've done a lot of bikepacking myself although its been a little while now and I'm overdue for another adventure. If you feel like it, have a look at a couple of my past trips: kzbin.info/aero/PL6i5bgy9Y_ex95hWeH6mOkvPQWcbe8kO0 Cheers

[@DavidNorthFilms]

Thanks I will have to check out your videos. Bikepacking is a lot of fun, I am lucky that in the fall we have some incredible weather for biking. I have two trips planned this fall.

[@GAPTEXPLORE]

*_Hello sir... I'm pleased to see that people your age like to cycle, as well as do solo camping, even just using a hammock, are Quebec parks safe from wild animals? ... nice to meet me, Rudy Tutorial Outdoor from Indonesia_* 🚲🏕💯👌👍👏🤝🙏

[@DavidNorthFilms]

Hi there, thanks for your comment. Quebec parks are pretty safe from wild animals. There are bears around but for the most part they leave you alone.

[@GAPTEXPLORE]

@@DavidNorthFilms Oh I see, then it's safe, okay? 👌👍
