    New sub! Very good channel so keep up the good work. I usually bring the Trangia in my single pot like you do, but I also bring the Firebox Nano because it works so well with the Trangia. And having both alcohol and wood as fuel sources gives you a lot of flexibility. The alcohol in the Trangia is fast, convenient, and clean. Burning wood in the Nano saves your alcohol supply when you have more time to work with, or if you want the “romance” of the fire. I like how quiet the alcohol burner is compared to the butane stoves.

    I don't understand why frame mounted front racks ain't a bigger thing in travel bikes. I get the load is limited by the bars (needing space to move) but i noticed there's more flex than actual steering if you really load up alot of weight onto a loop bar. In my case a bag of groceries. Look at the Schindelhauer Emil. That sorta front rack should be standard on travel bikes but you only find it on some heavy cargo e bikes for the most part.

    • @GoodwinBiking
      @GoodwinBiking 4 месяца назад

      That's a very good point. There really aren't a lot of good options for racks on a front travel bike. Maybe it's the weight, idk. I do think there are some cool ideas with a rack being mounted on a stem like a spacer connection.

    @madrapperdave 4 месяца назад

    Mounting points are over rated IMNSHO. They do make things easier, no question but I'd never let a lack of mounting points stop me choosing a bike. There are a plethora of options available from simple strap based mounts to Wolftooth's B-RAD system & I've even seen some axle based things for mounting stuff. I love your enthusiasm for just getting out there. There is definitely a lot to be said for just using what you have & having a go. I do feel sorry for those not as umm.... vertically gifted,... that bikepack. All of my bikes are fairly large & I'm able to fit large frame bags, large handlbar bags etc. ....which is probably just as well as I tend to pack a lot of comfort items!

    If you spent 2 weeks in a tent straight in one adventure you would get used to sleeping in it for your entire life. That's how it worked for me. Still I mostly traveled by feet, bikepacking for me is more like a dream. The biggest problem with it for me - I like using MTB as MTB .. and my tries to build up gear for traveling at least for one nighters felt like really limiting my MTB experience. Feels like you need to get to the point of your camp, to drop all your stuff and only then to go for trails. But after bikepacking travel to the point you already kill your legs :D. So I just can't figure it out in my head. And I need to say. You really took A LOT of gear with you. More than I used for 2 week travels, like why do you even need a sleeping pad :D

    • @GoodwinBiking

      Haha thats awesome! Lol 😆 why a sleeping bag!? I suppose if you dont have a quilt or warm bootys, a sleeping bag is the next best option!

  • @bruce.KAY-bike-drifter
    @bruce.KAY-bike-drifter 5 месяцев назад

    One way you might consider to keep warmer, plus be lightweight, is to use a sleeping bag liner sheet. Mine is made of silk. So feels luxurious and surprisingly warm. It also has a hooded pocket in the top that fits my pillow. So it stops my pillow from sliding around, another problem you mentioned. As well as this I also always take a foil space blanket. These are super light and can be a lifesaver in an emergency if your sleeping gear happens to get soaked in the rain. At 3:00 in the morning when you said you felt uncomfortably cold, you could have added your space blanket on top of your sleeping bag to keep the warmth in.

      Id be very interested in something like that! Send a link to one on amazon if you could! And very true, putting the blanket inside makes a huge difference in warmth rather than having it on the outside

    Look into quilts as for a sleeping bag. To keep your pillow from moving around, maybe a mummy style sleeping bag that has a hood which you can slip your pillow under the hooded area of sleeping bag. watch videos from Sam Watsby. He does a brief summary of what to expect, eat, and bring during bikepacking trips.

      Good idea on those! I found putting my pillow in a shirt or something will help as well. I looked up Sam Watsby and gave him a follow. Thanks for the tips!

    I have seen videos where the entire family is brought along in Bike Touring: a trailer type bike hitch for the younger son, teenager on tandem behind dad, Baby in child bike trailer attached to Mom's of her own bike; Just Awesome. I hope to see more families explore our natural environments. It is a really rewarding get away from Chaotic Stressful Inner Cities.

      That's awesome! Seeing families with a few kids all packing up on a surly or multiple bikes is so inspiring! I hope to get the rest of my family out bikepacking when the other kids are a bit older. So much fun

    You might want to reconsider some aspects of your camping methods. The International Space Station reported your campfire.

    Well done! Things she will remember the rest of her life. Looks like you could kick a rock the wrong way and start a fire out there. Super dry

    • @GoodwinBiking
      @GoodwinBiking 5 месяцев назад

      Yeah thats how it is out here, you just need to make sure your firepit is surrounded by dirt. Also be careful if it gets windy.. and always put it out before you leave!
