    Welcome to a new world!, Great views and scenery! You MUST be careful with cooking near brush/forest/jungle! Maybe a propane fueled stove might be a better, safer option. Get a tool pod that has all the necessary alan keys plus extras (chain breaker) Not sure who assembled your bike but make sure to occasionally check the bolts for the attachments on your bike racks. They do loosen especially on rough terrain, bumps and long miles. Enjoy and be safe!

    • @letsgokaro
      @letsgokaro  6 месяцев назад

      Yeah, that was why I was cooking on a metal floor ;) I have cooked on a propane stove before but wanting to try out this new alcohol stove, as it’s lighter (but takes more time to boil water that’s for sure).
      I bought my bike secondhand so I assembled it myself after it was delivered. :)

    Well done! When using Komoot just persevere. Sometimes its routing can be a bit suspect. I often use Google Maps to verify. But if you’ve already committed heavily then I can understand the feeling 😅. And I wouldn’t have chosen your route into Thailand but you look like half my age so go for it. I’ve subscribed to follow you all the way to Thailand.

    • @letsgokaro
      @letsgokaro  7 месяцев назад

      Yeah I should have put the Komoot setting as road bike and not touring. Learnt it the hard way haha! If I've known any better I would not have chosen that route too because my original plan was just to have a santai-santai ride...but joke's on me for not doing enough homework when planning ahaha! But I'm still glad I went with it and completed it...sometimes not knowing too much is better ;)

      The honest answer is no. Hahaha. But I also hike and used to do crossfit before, so that might help with stamina, even though I'm a lazy potato now lol.

  • @cyclingshooter7210
    @cyclingshooter7210 6 месяцев назад

    Just my opinion. Try riding with friends before being ambitious and going solo.
    You will learn a lot more experience from others.
    Also, if possible, it’s better to ride with at least one other cyclist buddy.
    Though we ride on the road, most of us never ride alone.

    • @letsgokaro
      @letsgokaro  6 месяцев назад +2

      There are a lot of solo bike tourer out there in case you never notice. I don't have cyclist friends who are free enough to go on a tour with me, so am I supposed to wait until god knows when for anyone who is free to ride with me?
      Life and lesson (whether good or bad) itself can be the teacher. Plus, I’ve already done my research and also asked for cyclist friends’ advice before this tour. :)

      Since when did I say I want to attract any bikepacking audience? And since when did I ask for your opinion? When it comes to bikepacking or bike touring, no one group is better than the other. It's a matter of personal preference. Please don't waste your energy on gatekeeping. Have a good day. :)
