Sweet setup! I'm a fat lazy turd so I do a solar E bike. My max range in my areas is about 90 miles. But the cool thing is I still get the advantages of a bike but I can get good speeds out of it if needed. 33mph when fully charged. I still have my last race mountain bike (AZONIC DS1) but since my back is screwed it just hangs in my garage. I can't in good faith sell it, I had so many good times with it. If you were to try a high quality E bike with your condition level you could cross your state in half the time it would take you on your current set up. You could also go a little more gear heavy if needed and have more muscle recovery time. Some days you could use the electric more other not ao much. E bikes have come a long way in the last few years. You can also get one for your significant other thar might not be in as good of shape. I charge my e bike with an ecoflow solar set up that I could easily bring with me if needed. Human power bikes are definitely good but new hybrid power bike can give you a major advantage to getting out of a situation fast if needed. 30+ mph on demand is hard to beat in a bad situation.
As an avid 2 wheeler I am a huge fan of this! Single cylinder 4 stroke enduro bikes are also not a bad investment!!! Killer stuff!!
@Bikes0420 Nope its the opposite for me. ot a motorbike at 50 and dont like it even close to as much compared to my bicycle.
XR250L with the MTB bike on the back rack
@@bdnosloc5217 Yep! XRs rule! for the first six months at least... while there's good fuel.. then you'd better have been pedaling anyways!
I'll take an Africa twin over that any day of the year.
I have a similar rig, but mine is a Raleigh Mt Bike. I’m almost 60, former Marine and still working out. I’m not a long distance runner, but I do wind sprints and HIIT training.
I certainly agree a good bike is the best way to go, especially for stealth and a long term sustainable form of transportation.
It can be loaded up, and pushed thru terrain that is unridable with not a lot of difficulty. In those environments you sure ain’t getting a motorized vehicle thru.
And gas; no one ever seems to think about that issue. It’s not a factor with a bike.
Such a simple machine, no blunt force trauma like running, you can go forever as long as you have food sleep and water
this is true however a single speed would ultimately be practical for repairs when nothing is available but not for getting up different types of terrain/elevations otherwise this bike is a nice setup
@@michaellorenzen8200 what about the old-style 3-speed "English Racer" bike that doesn't use a derailer? The gearing is (somehow) inside the rear wheel hub, and you need to stop pumping when you shift versus a derailer shift (which his bike is) that requires you to pump during shifting.
@@scramjet4610 Belt drive would be good too. It has little more resistance but it will last long time and wont break. It doesn't need oil.
@@dinoXAs2 With a belt drive, how would the gearing work -- if you wanted a 3-speed, how would you shift with a belt?
@@scramjet4610 yes it would need gearbox... maybe not belt... in single speed i would work but there should be few gears to be usefull bike
Hell yeah, bikes are the best bug out vehicle. I did a 350 mile trip 3 different times, self supported sleeping on the ground. Epic times. I want to build one I can fold out some training wheels and ride on railroad tracks. You’d be able to traverse the continent efficiently and relatively in secret.
Now that would be cool
Just found your channel! Last year I spent over four months and 5600 miles crossing the country on my bicycle, I spent the spring and summer bike packing in Utah. As I’m writing this I’m crossing Pennsylvania diagonally! Super cool to find your videos, they really resonate with me 🤙
I don’t believe in any kind of “bugging out” I have family (wife, children, etc) I believe in rural land and farms and staying put. Our number one biblical responsibility is our family, therefore the pipe dream of “bugging out” is just that. For most family men it will be more like The Alamo. You must be a realist and except your fate and be prepared to meet the Lord.
@@Kmesh-v8l
Agreed. As for me and my house we would have bugged out of the city 3 years ago when the plandemic happened if we were so unfortunate to have been trapped in a city. God has blessed us with a very rural farm. We had to help my sister and her children escape Canada and she had to leave her Canadian husband behind. We have been working on legally immigrating him for over 3 years now. This world is reprobate. Praying for the Lords return.
Yeah, I'm in my 60s and retired and living in quasi-rural SC to get the hell away from the cities. Me and my sons will make a stand on our little property (just 12 acres) and if the end comes we will fight and live or die here, together, defending each other. I'm not dragging the mother of my children into the wilderness to live like an animal or leaving older infirm family members behind. There are worse things than dying.
@@michaelsilveradventure5712If it comes to that, you’re probably fucked anyways.
Like bear independent says perpetuating normalcy for the people you love. Shit starts going down we need to form ourselves our own small community'S.
Good luck with your stand to death.God gave me and my family,"common sense", so instead of being slaughtered or even dragged apart and separated,we will try to survive.👍🏼
I've had too many bent, broke and crushed parts to do any of this bug-out, I'll make a good account of myself in my own area, Thank you.
It took me a moment to realize you weren’t talking about a bike.
Stay healthy if you can, I guess.
Damn Son, how much cardio does one Frogman need!? If it's b/c you just love being out in nature, then I get it. But, if you're trying to prove something to yourself or anyone else, well brother let me tell'ya....You done enough. Tell Chili to pack my shirt like a pack'a oatmeal. Love & Respect from TEXAS⭐. Nuff said.
Sure are lots of strong opinions and disagreements about apocalyptic scenarios. Whatever your situation, location and circumstances, have a plan for survival. Pre plan with like minded capable people, run or fight is probably dictated by your adversary but the bottom line is fight and NEVER give up.
Your bike is set up well for your tasks at hand. Most of your mass (rider and gear) is centered between the wheels. Your bike's ass end is light enough to throw around with control and you've kept everything else behind the front axle so you can still steer with the added weight. Awesome. I can't stress enough how important that is for this type of riding.
That explains all the yahoos I see, struggling to pedal their bikes with all their crap forward or aft of their axles😮
I also have the fuse, But not set up for gear. Is the a reason you have so much gear weight on the front end instead of a back rack? I know the fuse doesn’t have good mountings in the rear but I live by make shit happen.
Totally agree with you Chadd; the roads would be rammed and heavily controlled during any SHTF scenario. A bike is the ultimate bug out machine.
Going to play devil's advocate a little though. I like your set up, and understand the choices you've made for competitive purposes.
However, for longevity, strength, and to give you the ability to do a 100% of your own maintenance; I would seriously consider an older rig.
A retro chromoly frame, with 26"wheels. They're much stronger and less prone to buckle. The spare tubes take up less space.
Also, good old fashioned rim brakes. Sturdy and totally maintain-able in the field. Rather than fiddled little pads; that don't last five minutes.
For two luxury items, I would recommend a built in hub dynamo on the front wheel; to recharge electronics/lights; on the move.
And the second, would be a trailer bracket. Not something you would always use. But you can haul some serious weight, some serious distance; with one of those things.
Great post as always Chadd! Take care buddy 😊
Brother; you’re a trip my friend. Do not change- I never want to see you on the today show or none of that, son- stay hard
riding long distances, over rough terrain, carrying significant weight, being in the proper physical and mental condition to accomplish the goal(s) , being on permanent alert for threats and prepared and ready to act on those threats, is easier said than done. Gear up Bros, it's already here.......
Didn't see you mention First aid. I'm sure you have it, but didn't see you talk about it.
Awesome rig! Have fun out there! Maybe the beautiful and equally heinous Colorado Trail Race in your future???
Had A big explosion under my transport vehicle years ago. Now the only way I can get exercise is on A bike. Got me A big fat tire starter bike. Specialized roll. Now I am trying to train my PTSD service dog to sit in A basket on the back. My bike has been sitting here since Covid and I haven’t gotten my fat south end on it. I don’t know why other than I got lazy. You hit A nerve today. I am going to get my K9 trained and get on it. Then once I do that I will get A mountain bike. Like yours… I can’t run anymore and have A hard time walking but I can pedal. Thank you 🙏
The TNGA is no joke. I completed it in 2019 from the grand depart in 3 days 16 hours. And I love my Jones Bars. Good luck!
You’re a mountain biker. That automatically ads more levels of respect. I mtb 2-3 times a week
Dirt Bike gets my vote...
LOVE your stuff Chad.. But Surely You Aren't Going Much Faster Than Walking Speed, With That Tiny Crank...
In McAleese'e Fighting Mannual , Peter McAleese is manning a night time ambush position during the Angolan war. He hears something suddenly swoosh past then it is gone. In the morning they see bicycle tyre tracks.
Stealth is an asset.
Something to consider if somebody is looking for a durable, functional bike is 90’s era rigid mountain bikes. You can get em fairly cheap, 26” wheels make it easy to find tires/tubes. not as comfortable but very practical.
Yup. There’s absolutely no need for a modern gravel bike. Just a good ole 26” triple chainring mtn bike will do the job. I would even argue that a triple will have more usable gears than a modern 1x.
Ditto !
DUDE!!! That is pure insanity! I love watching you accomplish feats of physical improbability but this old cowboy thinks the best bug out vehicle is a freakin' horse!
"Bug out" aka, get stuck in traffic, yes, even on a rural 2 lane.
Then, a Karen Zombie pulls up behind, refuses to move, or, straight up smashes into the rear end at 40mph because she is panicked that she doesn't have her pills.
Bug out, to the bread line, the government camp, the riot, the traffic jam. Gangs will rule for anyone with the misfortune of living in a Chocolate citayy.
Sir,
Could you do a background on Navy Seal Chuck Neumann who got 2nd place in the 1980 Ironman in Kona, he was a Navy seal at the time.
Ya' prolly heard of this singer but if ya' ain't..his name is Oliver Anthony an' his tune 'Rich Men North of Richmond' is tha' latest in folk bringin' it..
Nice wheels, but that TACO behind you is sweeeet. I watched the video on the referb. Dude you hit that outta the park. Any space on that bike for a brake down carbine? Enjoy the race.
I've got a Pee-Wee Herman (R.I.P.) bike, think I could come along on a ride someday? HehHeh!🚲😁
Ultimate Bug Out Rig? You know its your LPCs (leather personal carriers) !!!
Less will always be more… simplistic survival…
Admirable setup for the trip, seems like almost every eventuality has been considered. One easy thing to add presta to schrader adapters for the valve stems JIC.
I like sleeping on cardboard. Its so comfortable. I always lay on some working under the car and will take a quick nap often on it. Am I alone on enjoying a good quality piece of cardboard for sleep?
Great setup, but at age 72, I'd need my jeep
Bicycle or Clydesdale? Dang thats a tuff decision 😳
Had to check out this episode because your thumbnail looked like you were in Ukraine hanging out with Zelenskyy.
Hey Chad after u get done with the race why don't u kit it out with a electric motor conversion with solar panels and shit that would be the way to go also silent but deady like chilis farts lol 😂😂😂❤ but yea why not have a electric ⚡ bike with solar panels for rechar capabilities mannn
Seems like the derailleur would get crushed immediately. I've never been able to get anyone to tell me what one would be bugging out from, nor where you would be bugging to. Someone please tell me. Thanks
Great setup, I do appreciate the mtb. I have spent a lot of time "years" on them and many nights out camping. Currently, my go-to is a single speed. It changes the game on how you ride it. Hope to ride forever. Good luck on the ride, it sounds like fun.
Your preps are only yours until you can no longer defend them. Then there someone else’s.
Just looked up the TNGA and looks like you may go near my old house north of Blairsville near Notley Dam.
Brooks saddles May be comfy but do break..I’ve broken many and know that that seats rails are hollow and seen them come into the shop in the past broken from fatigue. I tried a saddle by berthoud and has replacement rails and parts..where you can swap out parts in minutes. I also drill out my rims to be able to fit shreader or presta..out west..there are more Walmarts then bike shops.
Nice if you don’t have an out of shape wife and two kids under 3 yo that are very temperature sensitive and you need enough supplies for all of them. Mission criteria dictates equipment
I agree 100% about using a bike to get across any terrain..1 specific, steel frame would be your ideal material, if you break something, you can weld it quite easily, 3 car battery setup will probably work fine. Break aluminum or Carbon, much bigger issue.
I love bicycles, they're a blast but... Where I live it's sketchy as hell to be on a bicycle any time of day. What do I do?
I always carry a mylar "space blanket". It reflects EM so if you wrap it around yourself, you reflect your pwn heat back at you, BUT what everyone seems to miss...when your tent is in the blazing sun, no shade to be had, cover your tent with the space blanket, clip it down or tape so it stays tight. It will reflect the sun and drop your inside temp at least 10 degrees. Its also waterproof and weighs nothing.
Wouldn't a horse be the ultimate bug-out vehicle I know it needs to graz I know it needs water but it saves you energy and he'll feed itself so all you need is water or find water and they can take a lot more terrain than that bicycle can
You can definitely cover miles fast and quietly!
It's so easy to over think something that a person has not ever experienced. You made it simple I'm definitely following this, such a good idea.
Ok! I get some of the "preppers" stuff! I like the idea of preparedness, even though im somewhat of a procrastinate😅 But, where are we SUPPOSED to BUG OUT to? This is really the question?
LOL...use your imagination...
There is no covert with flir and Athena--ask the good people of Maui.
Is it true that people who ride bicycles long distance professionally shave their Cornhole area?? I guess it is supposed to cut down on chafing if there's no hair there.
I'm a fat lazy turd but this is a very interesting rig . I put a surplus 3 day assult pack on the rear rack of my KLX 250 with surplus waist packs on each side . I've been seriously considering setting up a fat bike with racks / packs " just in case " there's no gas for a while . Good luck brother !
Goodluck on TONGA!!! You got this!
Love the idea of a bug out bike :P I have a PATRIA steel bike tho. Steel is real! ...and sturdy af. PATRIA is a small and exclusive manufactory here in Germany. Even the steel tubes are made in my region and I know that company as well. If you buy a frame it begins with taking your body measurements and your preferred seat position. Then the frame is hand brazed exactly to your needs. Frames start at 800 EUR and you get a 15 years warranty. 100% MADE IN GERMANY. No made in Tschaina, assembled here. Stay healthy y'all!
I love my all steel Marin nicasio gravel bike....steel is definitely real!
bugging out is no longer a viable option with the advancement of drone warfare.
I agree…drone swarms hunting everyone down with thermal and LiDAR. You have to get deep in a cave…reduce your blueprint.
very interesting, never thought about a bike for bug out. makes so much sense.
I'm a fat turd. I'm going to go ride my bike later. But I'll still be a fat turd.
This is fantastic.
I did not know about the Jones handlebars.
There were two times in recent history that a two-city area had "sort-of" evacuation events. The short story, those who had cars and thought they had somewhere to go got into their cars and jammed up the highways and interstate to a stand-still.
Nice rig. I like the brooks cambium saddle. Brooks saddles are awesome.
The best bug out is your feet, I’m not touching a road, in a bug out situation..
Thanks. I'm going to look into this. I have look for a better,get home plan. I work in Atlanta GA and will be traveling 65 miles home. I probably can get home in about a day.
Hey Chadd can you show what Nalgene bottle holder that is? Hard to find a good one on the internet that will fit before buying?
Chad, do you find that the Jones handlebars reduce numbing of the hands during long rides? Appreciate you man!!
What brand of glasses are u wearing? AustinTx
Great show Chad.
Besides my big bay mule “Gunner” I tend to agree with you on that bike.
It might be a bit of a downer to you, but this retired warrant officer has the same exact bike. Right down to the bars and the under bar bag, and the bike rides on the back of my fj40..
It’s dang steep here in Central Idaho so I’m gonna try that front ring size..thanks
“Scouts out”…………………………..🚁
This bike talk. Brought to you by me. Inspired by Cheeli.
I was surprised you did not mention your chain lube
Nice setup! Same as mine except I have an FJ62, and XT250 and an oldschool stumpjumper!
I have an old Specialized Stump jumper.. It's a late 90's/early O0s with 26in wheels and rim brakes. Really well put together bicycle with better than average components..
I see you’ve got the 1UP bike rack. I’ve got the double. Fantastic rack. Enjoy your trip, bro. BTW, when the SHTF I don’t believe you’re going to ride your bike into town to resupply. Won’t be anything there.
1UP is the Shit!! They are so good. USA.
@@derekneumann Yep. We’ve got 2 e-bikes that weigh around 75 pounds each, so we got the ramp after struggling to load them. No way my wife could do it. When we meet other people for a group ride, their unloading time is double ours. Even more for loading.
you have clips on the bike, that is not for a bug out situation.
Good morning Chad,🌶️,👨💻and brook
Sweeet! These biking videos are awesome!!!
You can run but you can’t hide from the” lords burning flame “
Nice bro! I have a Specialized bike myself
I have a lenticular craft. Using Non-Linear Harmonic Waves to propel myself through the atmosphere. The greatest thing too is. The advance propulsion drive works inside the earth atmosphere in an entirely different way than current Black Devices. Better known as UAPs. I’m telling you bro. This thing rocks. Went to one of Jupiters moons the other night. They have a civilization under the Ice there. Did you know that? Oh you guys are talking about rudimentary vehicles? My bad. I forgot I was living in the past. Yeah, a bike would work. Sure. Little lame but I guess it gets the job done.
what's up w. rhe new condition clunker?
On a bike you quickly appreciate how much you took the power of gas for granted. Carrying even 30lbs any real distance burns alot of calories which requires alot of water and some food. As a practical matter your not going to be able to carry food/water to get beyond 30 miles on uneven terrain. An average person would get not get more than 5 miles.
What kind of bike setup cant carry sufficient food and water? Sounds like a racing setup. Tourists have been riding off road, unsupported for around 150 years.
if you run out of road, you can't toss a toyota on your back.
Gravel bikes rule
Great video. I was a Marine. I live in the northern California foothills. I had a dream. A Chinese sub surfaced right off the coast with an emergency asking for help. Their need was legit but while all the liberal politicians were falling over themselves to help the Chinese submariners, I was highly suspicious of what they were doing so close to our coast. Three days later the Chinese fleet appeared off the California coast and invasion seemed immenent to me. I loaded my family in my truck and took them to Nevada. Then I got on my mountain bike with a rifle, a shotgun and a pistol and started riding back over the Sierra to go to work! LOL Good luck in your race!
Ugh that gave me truth chills.
Was a Marine??? WTF, you are full of manure!
The chi knees will walk east right thru California, no one but immigrants and boi buns to stop them. The blu hairs will join them.
@@dawnhasbroken6304 Want a wake-up call about how vulnerable we are? Watch Dragon Day (released in 2013). Yes, it's a low-budget film with awful CGI graphics, but it's a perfectly viable way that it could all go down. Or at least, the way things will really look after it does. And with no "Wolverines/Red Dawn" fantasies.
The Chinese would invade the SF Bay and knock out the bridges, you will be safe for a while, observe and stay hidden, don't get mobile right away.
In the event of an EMP (or Carrington event, etc.) a bicycle would seem to be the way to go..
I haven’t been biking very long so I have a question. The chain falls off on me a lot when I shift gears. It also shifts gears on me when I peddle hard and it causes my feet to slip off the peddles. Is my chain worn out? I like the bike but I may need to get some work done to it. Anybody got an answer?
Yes! Your chain is worn and your derailure is off. Your cassette and chain ring might be damaged too. Get it to a bike shop pronto or do it yourself. But your drivetrain is shot.
I'd be happy just with a pack mule.
bit of advice from a Mtn Biker since 1983 and veteran adventure racer - having 7lbs of water mounted to the moving part of your suspension is a no go for technical terrain. It's called unsprung weight and adversely affects how the fork operates. You are riding a hardtail bike and the weight of the water will ride better and your handling will not be as affected if you use a rear rack. Lookin forward to the debrief of your race experience. BZ chadd! Affirmative on the assessment that a bike is about the best bug out platform. the ability to escape compromised regions on a bike. a transit of 50+ miles daily is realistic and there is no noise or fuel requirements besides the calories and hydration of the motor, which is you. Bikes are the most fuel efficient form of transportation ever invented.
Instead of having a mullet he has a skullet 0:47
🤣 I swear I thought he was gonna say his feet...
Bike is the most efficient form of transportation.
My horse is the best ultimate bugout vehicle.
Sram sucks. Shimano all the way.
You'll need a rear rack and maybe a trailer to haul your gear!
Running cable or hydro for brakes? Cable seems like it would be the way to go.
He's got Shimano XT mineral oil brakes..... but maybe cables would be better in the Apoc.
That's an awesome set up I think I'd want a bigger gear in the front for bug-out scenario though... definitely sold on Barbell Apparel got to try it as soon as possible thank you
akshually....a small front cogwheel is much better for riding uphill, especially with lots of gear on your bike
@eternal7083 thank you kindly... although it has been some years since I have ridden.... I do remember always wanting a larger granny gear... it just seemed like it was just too slow... and there's a lot of Flatlands where I live something to consider...
Looks like fun. I'm 73, cyclist. My bugout vehicles are my bikes. Plus I have a single and a double wheeled buggy and a sled for Canadian winter cycling. But normally I just carry everything in a backpack on my back. Been a cyclist since I was a kid, keeps me in shape along with light weights and Rowing Etc good food. I haven't had a full Hospital checkup since the 1970s so far so good. You should try winter cycling it's a real cool at -20 Celsius.
Most important thing to bring is tools to change handlebar and seat height and position frequently. Reduces fatigue isolation.
His seat post is a drop one, lever controled from the handlebars.
I am sure his bike multi tool he carries would work on adjusting the handle bars.
Been years since I did that stuff. I rode 200 miles in my teens, on a huffy mountain bike, wearing land rovers, Levi's and a crew neck, white fruit of the loom t shirt. 23.5 hours of cardio.
"Entire state of NORTH georgia
Cane creek components make a dropper post with 90mm travel so you get extra comfort being in the saddle for extended milage of that's something you might be interested in.
I'm in the PNW and will be taking notes. WA backcountry is nothing to play around with.
I have an e-bike for bug out vehicle. I'm starting to think maybe that wasn't a great idea because so much can go wrong with an e-bike. My logic was that I can hold a lot more gear and go a lot faster. Wouldn't do me much good in a grid down scenario. Maybe I'll get another bike. This one sure looks nice
Keep the ebike and make it capable of solar charging. Get a dc to AC converter and you can run a hot plate or recharge electronics or even a drone. Bike at night and charge it during the day.
@@williambontrager2349 thanks
@@JasonGage no problem. People forget that an average ebike has the same battery storage and output as a jackery 1000 solar generator. I'm working on a 5000 watt bomber clone with a 72v 60ah battery with an onboard inverter. 200 mile range going 30-40 mph and top speed of 60 while also capable of powering a microwave or freezer for days. Hard part is finding portable folding solar panels that can charge it.
