Just found your channel. Awesome loadout! I absolutely love the waterproofing with the ziplock bags. That's the exact same thing I do. Works great! Can't wait to follow your journey!

4:11 question with that card reader can you load a whole entire 4K video into your phone I’ve had trouble running a SD card reader into my iPhone and it’ll only allow me to upload a couple minutes of 4K footage

[@MountainsCalling]

so far it has allowed me to upload entire videos. The largest video I uploaded so far was 19 min

[@lowermichiganadventures]

14:07 what did you say? Your total weight pack was 32 pounds you’re definitely gonna get a good workout how many miles a day are you shooting to do?

[@MountainsCalling]

Yeah I started with 31lbs with food water and fuel. I have averaged 12 miles a day. Biggest day was 16.5 yesterday

[@jeff_aurand]

For me contacts were a terrible idea when traveling by bike or camping for extended periods. Just too much opportunity to get dirt into my eyes.

[@MountainsCalling]

I know I am figuring that out the hard way. Currently 70 miles into the trail. I just need to make sure to wash my hand when taking them out at night
