- It's been a while since Blake's last great mountain bike packing adventure and this time we wanted to see if it's possible to get bike packing bags for under $50. On this adventure to the Jurassic, Coast Blake shares with us some of the local history, sights, and sounds from the saddle! 🤘

Blake’s solo adventure films never disappoint- another cracking film Blake 👍👍👍
Blake does solo adventure best! 🔥
You have to applaud the solo filming.
That isn't easy to get some of those shots.
Well done blake 🎉
Reminds me of my first Bike Packing....It got dark, it rained, we were miserable, headed back down the hill, a huge tree for shelter, not good enough, headed into a property, no one home so made camp in there stables, almost asleep and Rats invaded our camp, so back on the bikes, 30km in rain to get home at 1am in the morning GRRRR
These Blake's bike packing videos are absolutely fabulous!
Agreed! Thanks so much for the support!
Top end hardtail ....all the best gear from Channel partners......but will someone please give this legend some waterproof socks
Those take up most of the 50 budget though. I’ve already spent all my money on the gear 😂 (waterproof socks are super handy though)
@@evanforst7272 freaking love my Polaris waterproof socks
Love your bike packing adventures. Keep 'em coming 🤘🏻
We will! More to come!
What an epic wet, rainy, muddy ride! 😎🚴 keep it up!
That is one of the most unusual bikepacking videos I’ve saw 😁 Would be cool to see more of Blake’s bikepacking videos!
Great shots, Blake. More inspiring than the weather. Thanks!
Yes mate awesome video thanks for sharing
Woo amazing video. Real mtbing. The adventure. There is no better feeling than looking out of a warm tent cooking shit after some hard graft. The harder the graft the better the experience of tent or shelter. Boom living life and seeing shit 🎉
Awesome video Blake, enjoyed it!🤟
Cracking video Blake
Your solo adventures are so cool.
That weather on that day was grim wasn't it I too was out on an epic ride that day 😁🤘
Great stuff #GMBN
Yeah, apart from the weather Blake had a sick time! 😂🔥
Even with the fantastic informative video library on offer - These have to be my favourite GMBN videos! Blake is just a cheery madman on a bike packing trip. Great attitudes on display and always a good watch!😊
Love the adventure specials!! Nicely done
I do love B-Lakes solo stuff. Impressive how much back and forth is needed to film himself 👍🏼
Exactly! When he got up that horrible muddy trench of a hill it was for the second time!
Love all your content 🤙🏽
Thank you, Blake, for getting all muddy and cold so that we may have something interesting and entertaining to watch on a Saturday afternoon. I hope you took the fossils back home to show them to little man Charlie and to Jen. 🙂
Great video Blake.Look's like you had a lot of fun Dude!!
Aww sad I really was looking forward to the hammock camping. Maybe next time. Great video Blake... thanks
Love theses bike packing videos. All ways put a smile on my face watching.
The commitment, not only going bike packing in that weather but the filming, going back to the camera all the time must have sucked! ❤
Loved the video!
Thanks for this and other videos like it. They're really inspiring. This one showed that a lot of expense/kit isn't necessary, just knowing how to "pack" one's bike.
Please may I ask: could the Elan Valley video be reposted? (I only got half way through it... 😭)
Love the Blake bike packing videos. Always gets my immediate click.
Haha brining the nice park tool hammer too.
The right man for the job! 💪 Yess Blake!
Fair play to Blake he makes a great video love watching your adventures
Super entertaining video !
Love to watch these kind of videos from home with cup of good coffee 😁☕
This is great love the vid
Definitely given me some inspiration.
Nice one!
Don’t forget the $3000 Hardtail
Hey you got to have a bike for bikepacking use what you have
Iv been bike packing on a £30 bike!
You took the words right out of my mouth. Happy trails. Aloha
And don’t forget the Garmin. 😊
Well done for sticking to the plan that must have seemed a good idea a month ago. How much was the light packing sleeping bag and hammock? A bit more than 50 I guess?
as a kiddo we went to a pebble beach in France and i also found a few fossils this way. that first one you got is quite nice! the bikepacking on a budget is a bit missleading though right, the 50$ is only for a few bags and straps.... all the rest not included
I lreally like the bike packing videos! I have to say: this yellow bike is gorgeous!
Love this animal 😂 More please!
Great video 😃 great location 😃 with a great route 😃
Thanks for the video!! Don't feel so bad pushing up now :).; Home of Cider is Devon tho!!! ;)
Awesome!!!
I would camp in that. But riding is so much fun is mud.
Riding the North downs way this June. Canna wait
One person take shot hard job 🤞👏
What a beltin' English spring day,! Well done for not cursing all the way 😅
miss seeing these videos of blake! makes me miss adventure racing ultraas more haha
I really appreciated the moment at 13:57 alot. 👍
Can't beat a good adventure.Blake should put a book together. Blake's bike packing. A simple tittle
Demonstrates one more the sheer versatility of his trail hardtail.
Here (Winnipeg) gardening centres sell rolls of inch-wide velcro for far less than your straps. Might be a good option.
Blake why didn't you have gloves on that would be the first thing I'd pack ride in all weather's like that dho?
Blake, you should try participating in some offroad bikepacking race. I think you will like it.
So weird seeing the place you grew up being adventured by serious riders. Hope you did the Bridport-Powerstock line.
Never seem to bump into you when you're down at Dorset Nectar... one day maybe...
Blustery Gail… one of me favourite adult film stars
Blake's bikepacking adventures are always epic👌⛰️
I like it, he can smell the ocean
I though it was called a Channel 😅
Gotta prep the years-old fatbike loaned to me to a volcano-side bikepacking trip, then. 😁 Though, I hope the heat index won't kill me -- I believe that's what nearly took Conor and Marcel's vibe out, when hitting some nasty climbs in February.
What were the bags' content aside from the sleeping bag, Blake our lad? 😄 Asking for a little friend, who happened to watch along with me.
You guys need a video for bike packing on a budget, INCLUDING THE BIKE.
Was looking forward to seeing how its done out in the open. The barn thing was a bit of a kop out. Still enjoyable watch though
I wonder what crank length is Blake running onto. 170mm?
Hi Blake! What was the make and model of the handlebar bag you used in the Wales River Usk video with Jack Thurston - it looked a good one?
Did the also sell Dickens Cider?
You carried all that stuff but we didn't see u use it should have stayed in a B and B 😂😂
This is how I imagine the childhood of bikepacking... Just strap on some drybags instead of those bulky panniers :-D Great filming work. being your own cameraman isn't always easy...
"Bike packing, it doesn't have to be expensive" he says whilst riding a 2k bike and probably about £200+ worth of kit 😂 seriously though thoroughly enjoyed the video, loved the editing and the commitment to getting those shots😅 stupendous effort!
Hi Blake! Will you take part in Scottish HIghlands Trail 550 bikepacking race that starts today (27 May 2023)?
I’ve walked round there😂
you need to do a challenge where you have a total of 500 bucks for bike and gear.
Sleeping in a barn? Hammocks need something to be attached to. Setting up in pouring rain is a pain. Stopping for tea and a bite to eat is non existent on many a trip, unless you carry everything yourself. However riding and walking through miserable conditions was well done. Overall the video was enjoyable. :)
Impressive clean looking fossil! Didn't even go far down the beach
Dorset is a goldmine for fossils!
@@gmbn try going anywhere near Lyme with a wife who is a geologist and massive dinosaur nerd 😂
Old tubes for bungies!!
Blake channeling his inner Colin furze here 😅
Is the same chalk guy that Conor stop at in one the the GCN videos a couple of years ago? Or was that a different chalk guy with his togger out?
Same chalk guy as "In Pursuit of Spring" with Manon, Simon, Hank.
Wish I could find that Garmin for $50
I love you Blake
The craziest parts about these videos to me, (as an American) is how you just casually go through gates. I guess public gates are a thing in the UK? Here, if you see a gate, you don't go through it or risk being shot and/or arrested for trespassing.
If you were bike packing in the US in 'the country' and you came along a cattle gate off the path (even if it has no signs) and you decide to go through it? Well, that's how people disappear, you will become bikenapped.
There are a lot of gates out West here in Idaho on BLM land. Usually they just ask that you close them back again. BUT, if I see one that's says "No Trespassing", I take it seriously.
There's a lot of public footpaths and bridleways. They can at times go through farm yards or through peoples gardens even.
I don't know how you can ride in all that mud clad I live in Western Australia ✌️
Gotta have the right frame clearance, us brits are mucky pups
Mudguards, how about proper mudguards? Great trip anyways👍🏻
What if I don't have any dollar$? Only £'s?
bro he couldnt even set up a fkin hammock in a field of treees...fire this guy hire me lmk
um, Blake, Sandwich is NOT in Dorset.
Does anyone else think Blake gives the same vibes as Tom Syndicate?
Sorry, Herefordshire is the home of Cider. :)
Must be nice to live in a country with a network of trails across private land based on respect and trust. In the US the owners just shoot at you. And that's just for coming to ask, forget actually stepping on the property
I think the cost is very relative to where you live. I can pretty much go on one for just $5. It's just a 1-day trip but you get the gist.
thats just a bike ride bro
I thought It was a joke when he said his going to look for a fossil
So let's get the fossils identified and see if he's discovered something new that can be named after him.
Lol, pinkbike already did this video a year ago
If anything it put me off...lol....looked awful😂
The only drawback of this video is the lack of Blake on a fatbike.
If he was grinning now, imagine the grin on his face with that red dude of his.
if it has a cathedral it is not a town. it is a city.
#ASKGMBNTECH
Where is Doddy? Is he still with GMBN?
Can you add the Strava link?
They use komoot afaik
Can we get a price check on everything? The bike, The pants, the clothes the jacket, Shoes, stuff in the bags, helmet, Garmin... And anything else that you might have had on you. minus all the camera stuff cause thats not something a normal person would bring.
the way i look up this man is he is the alpha male in Mountain biking but dont get me wrong guys its my own opinion only .
Imagine trying to convince anyone that a certain town has "good fish n' chips" Like they do it unique and better than everyone else.
You try too hard to be funny but it doesn't come off. I have never known anyone so up thenselves
Maybe he should be miserable and negative like yourself instead. That would make better viewing for you ? 😅
A little disappointed. Had to sit through 10+ mins of complaining about the weather and cheating the experience by sleeping in a barn just to get to the subject of the channel and video: mtbs amd camping. I guess I was expecting more helpful info and a little less entertainment. Decent video though if you skip the first half.
Nice! We want more adventures like this 🚵♂😀
