Nice video! I'm considering an E Mini-Max. Any additional thoughts on the bike overall since you made this video? Have you been able to get a better idea of range? Thanks!

That was fun! Love all the different camera angles.

Nice video. Thank you for sharing.

Always worth the wait. We were in your area last summer. It sounds like we need to look at our February calendar!

New Drone?

Awesome video! Love the long shadows and gorgeous sunset.

Hey boys, nice ramble. The Boedecker "Dynomite" shack was definitely a CCC dynamite shack. I have seen historical documentation as well as spoken to old timers years back that were there. Take a close look at it. The roof is concrete. Inside the beams are logs but it clearly is concrete and it also shows that outside. The idea of the curved roof was in case of an explosion, the force would go up and not out. There are vents near the base for under the floor and three on the roof, all were plugged when it became a deer camp in the '90s. The current door is not the original door. That is long since gone and I believe it was metal. The window on the south was only put in for the deer camp. Before that, it was a solid wall. Frank Shafarik patched some of the cracks on the outside with fresh mortar when it became a hunting shack. On the NW corner the initials, FS are in the newer mortar. When I worked for the USFS, I had a collateral duty as an archeological paraprofessional and through that, I learned of at least two similar buildings on the Chequamegon. Boedecker Road formerly known as Hans Thompson Firelane, the name I prefer. But that is a story for another time. I can give more info on that shack, just buy me a beer or twelve.

Is the Saw Mill Saloon located at 13505 N US Highway 63 Hayward, WI, I plan on visiting the area next year for my birthday. I look forward to this loop.

Thanks Dave. I enjoy these.

Thanks again Dave, it was awesome getting to hang out with you and having us on your show. Happy Trails!

Goose Island Ramblers. Awesome.

Long time commuter/MTB rider, and aspiring bikepacker here from the Menomonie area, just wanted to say thanks for doing the show and the insights!

Josh is doing an AWESOME job with The Nxrth! I’m so happy that I found the website last year. I’m from the Quad Cities (about an hour south of Dubuque) so I appreciate the more southern routes that have been published on The Nxrth. Disruptions foiled my plans to ride the Driftless Loop this summer, but I’m planning to ride the Tour de Nicolet in early October. Thanks for a great podcast!

Shout out to The Nxrth....That's what introduced me to Life Above 8. I've spent a lot of time around Dunbar and the Marinette County Forest area around there so I'm very familiar with all the waterfalls on the Pike River. I should take a long weekend and try some of your waterfall loop through the eyes of a cyclist and not a trout fisherman. I'd probably feel more comfortable with a fat tire bike then on a gravel bike if I remember how sandy some of those Marinette Country roads can be...

Love love this! Sorely miss referring people to the now-defunct CAMBA Country podcast. Looking forward to more great bikepacking and gravel content. Drop in my brother-in-law’s (Gregg) place at 2nd and 2nd in Cable any time there is a bonfire going.

Great to see this podcast/videocast start up! Great episode.

I enjoy your videos and look forward to the next one!

Wow! Figo! And great with the song, too.

I enjoyed watching this video. Thanks for the Fat footage @Life Above 8!!

I just went there! Awesome place!

Very nice Dave.

Road conditions look great! Best of luck on the events.

Love the little foxes! They are adorable. And that video camera you use does magical things that don't seem possible! What video camera is that?

crust riding would be awesome

Looks great, Dave! I'd love to have trails out my front door again. Looking forward to riding up there when things dry out this spring.

I may have to volunteer at Odia's secret aid station. So many fun events in CAMBAland!

Happy New Year Dave! Happy trails!

Great report - glad you’re on the mend Dave!

One of these years I’ll get a fat bike before they sell out. Happy New Year!

Dave - exciting stuff. Looking forward to seeing where this goes - it seems like you always have several fun projects going on at the same time. Enjoy!

Cool video. But Camp 38 road is not in the Chequamegon National Forest but rather in the Sawyer County Forest.

Nice Dave! What was that bit of cinema magic at the end there, with no-hands filming?

Nice video Dave! You guys ride safe out there

Awesome!!!! Nice work

Wow - this is an awesome project and really nice to see it in full use. Bravo!
