Titanium Cooking Pot: Vargo BOT: bit.ly/45CwDsr
----We never thought we'd get so excited about a cooking pot. It doubles as 1 L water storage with a secure screw on lid (making dinner water math easier), can be strapped on the down tube (or fits in an Arundel Looney Bin), and the lid flips over to become a cooking pot.
Peak Designs Out Front Bike Mount: peak-design.pxf.io/GmKMdn
----Why did we waste so much of our lives with Quadlock!? There's a magnet that attracts the phone case (below) so all you have to do is get your phone somewhere near the right place and it grabs it. No more fiddling! Then the mount locks with the case -- it's so strong I have picked up the whole front end of my bike with just the phone.
Peak Designs Phone Cases: peak-design.pxf.io/g1OxXg
----Needed for the Peak Designs mount, but also just nice cases.
Stem Bag: Swift Industries Sidekick: bit.ly/3VpOBuC
----Doesn't suck like other stem pouches we've tried.
Ultralight Down Quilt: Katabatic Palisade 30*: bit.ly/40T1ezr
-----Y'all, this is the comfiest sleeping bag. Warm and the material is soft.

I love your style of traveling, much attention to nature and so positive to each other.
So beautiful nature, so calm people.
I'm always aware of bears in such places though...
Thank you! There are only black bears here, no grizzlies, and black bears aren’t very aggressive unless they are used to getting into people’s trash. We have spent a lot of time in places with bears and know that they won’t hurt us as long as we give them space and don’t get near any cubs.
That route looked awesome. I love your sense of adventure.
Thanks! It’s one of the reasons we like each other so much - we’ve got similar thresholds for adventure :)
Mitchell, OR is the best bike-touring/packing town in the USA, hands down. Glad you guys passed through. Pat and Jalet are so amazing.
We agree!
Wow. Just wow. Your story telling and production quality just keeps getting better and better, while keeping your refreshing sense of wonder and joy in bike travel. Killer music too. What a gift!
Yay! Thank you so much! It’s been such a joy to learn more about storytelling and video making. Glad that’s shining through. Your comment confirms we’re on the right track!
Walla beautiful ❤😂❤bike travel
Aww wow I love the scenery and the commentary.
I'm so glad the two of you made it through and had loads of fun along the way.
It doesn't matter how slow you go as long as you enjoy everything along the way and have real stories to tell and precious memories to keep forever.
You are both real stars and two amazing people.
Aww thanks! We’re glad you liked it!
Your videos are getting better and better! 😃 Looking forward to the next video!☺️
Thank you so much! ☺️
You guys are awesome.
Hey thanks!
Very cool! Love eastern OR
There were some really rough spots, but for the purpose of making a fantastic video to watch, you guys nailed it.
I can't think of any other bike trip video I have seen this year that is near as good as this one.
Thank you! What a nice thing to say!
Amazing video and produced and edited well. The vibe between you two is beautiful, the 🎉❤🎉
Thank you so much! Glad you found your way to our videos!
Great description of those camping meal pouches! They’re lousy, and expensive to boot!
For sure, especially that particular flavor. We’ve had some that are delicious though!
@@slow_spokesthe pouch meals I've had have been very good. But then I avoid. 😅 anything with meat in, which doesn't seem to rehydrate well.
The interjecting, subtle "It wasn't." 😂 Sorry about your stuff. But, I enjoy when a video maker uses voiceover like that, every once in a while. It's kind of a way that I understand, as you were editing, reliving the "oops" moment. 😅 Thanks 👍🏻
Hahaha! Hey Chris, seeeeeee! (This was something we disagreed on in the edit and I won.) -Hillary
What a stunning route, well done for pushing through the snow.
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
Found your channel via your bike build video. That said, I enjoyed this video, looks like you had fun. Stay safe!
Thanks! Glad you found us!
"It smells like dog food" really cracked me up, hahaha🤣🤣🤣
We were laughing while editing that part. Glad you liked it too😊
Way, way, way, way COOL! ❤ 🚲 ⛺
Thank you! 😊
Lovely! Would have done the same to not eat mountain house a second night!
Hahaha I believe that. Hi friend!
Great video. Keep up the good work. All the best from Yorkshire UK 🚴🚴🚴
Thank you so much! 🥰
Nothing wrong with being slow, you get to see the cool stuff longer than the "rocketeers" do.
You guys a cute and cool. Love your vids. Loved those painted hills from this vid! We don't have anything like that kind of geology in SE Australia. And snow is fun riding. When I used to live in Hobart Tasmania (in 1993!) I got to ride to work in snow, on a 6km (4 mile?) commute that was almost entirely single track. The most fun you can have with your clothes on.
Yeah but you have some ridiculous birds! (We spent like a month on a farm north of Sydney years ago and still talk about all the weird birds and their weird sounds.)
Anyway, I’m glad you found our videos. From your comments, you’re the kinda person we want around!
Really enjoy your videos you two! Looked like an amazing trip!!
Thanks so much! Glad you found us in the endless sea of RUclips. :)
You both are so inspiring! out of curiosity, what is the work that you both do that led to getting sucked in too much and needing a break?
Thanks! Healthcare and nonprofits. :)
Great Video! Love your journey :)
Thank you! 😊
Meat flavored Lucky Charms.. that's hilarious 🤣🤣 Brilliant video 🤙🤙
It was really mediocre. :)
@@slow_spokes you're humility just shows why you guys put out awesome videos🤙
Love your video u should come and ride the islands in bc,Canada.
We’d love to! One day!
Awesome adventure and incredible video guys! Your production and cinematography is spot on. Great job!
Thanks so much! We’ve been really trying to learn and get better, glad it’s showing up in the videos for you!
i love your videos ,fank you , congratulations
👌👍
Nice video. I happened across it and was surprised to see a route I did! It was a group ride last year called ochoco overlander. Only difference was after that pass we camped at Walton lake, I'm not sure where you came out. And we were deep into summer, no snow, one water crossing, but we paid for that in heat!
Glad you found us! We passed by Walton Lake, but didn’t stop. Looked pretty but busier than we typically like. Lots of big trucks and amplified music, not our jam in the woods. Maybe it was just that weekend, though.
Mid-late May seems like the best time to go!
Great video looks like a great adventure
What I would give to have a partner that would enjoy doing this stuff with me like y’all
We really are grateful that we have the same adventure tolerance most of the time. We did meet while doing some pretty adventurous stuff, so that set the tone for our relationship. Wishing you the same!
Don’t give up on the “mountain house” meals! Here are some flavors that actually taste like not dog food: peak refuel butternut dal bhat, mountain house chicken tikka masala, good to go thai curry, peak refuel sweet pork and rice. Idk what brand you guys were eating but it didn’t even look like name brand mountain house 😂
Yeah I think it was backpacker pantry. And we think we tried the worst one first somehow! We’ve been working through the rest of them all summer, and the ones we’ve had since then haven’t been as bad. But that one was really bad.
Good people, beautiful nature around and nice atmosphere. And i can relax just watching this video because of you))
Thank you! And hi 👋 wherever you are!
I live in Portland and have been interested in this route. What month was this filmed? It's probably too hot to do in the summer I'd assume.
This was the middle of May. I’m sure it’s scorching out there right now, but fall would probably be a great time to ride the route too. Check with the Spoke'n Hostel though as they close about the time that snow starts to fly in the mountains.
What brand is the pouch on the back of your saddle?
Which pouch are you thinking? The tan one on the back of Chris’s saddle is Caedero.
@@slow_spokes that’s the one, thank you. Awesome video as well 🤘🏼
@@Kanddande haha glad I got it right! And thanks!
Wae waw
time is well spending here. congrats
Thank you 😊 We’re glad you think so!
When did the word bike packing come to be?? Is it used for people who use mountain bikes?
Hi! It's kind of a funny word, isn't it? Here's an article about it: bikepacking.com/stories/a-history-of-bikepacking/
At this point, people have used it to mean all kinds of things, kind of like how people use "backpacking" to mean traveling in the wilderness with only a backpack and sleeping under the stars, or traveling across Europe with everything you own on your back and staying in hostels.
Lots of people like to gatekeep what bikepacking means. They say you have to go fast, or carry only certain kinds of bags (no racks), or only travel on dirt roads and never touch pavement.
But lots of other people just mean going wherever they want to on a bike, with a bike that can handle any kind of trail. Because you can't always avoid pavement, and smaller bikes (like the ones women often use) can't carry much gear without a rack, and sometimes it's nice to slow down.
Probably what we do is more like all-terrain biking (bikepacking.com/plog/atb-manifesto/) but most people don't know what that means at this point, so we don't use that in our titles.
Thank you for that information!!!
@@HeatherCampbell-kc7fx Glad you asked! This is something I think about a lot, so it's nice to chat about it. :) ~Hillary
Happy and safe travels!!!
The Oregon outback is wonderful right? 🤗
We want to go back and do the whole thing!
This is my dream adventure..but I need a partner
Happiness in your eyes…
It’s real :)
What was your route?
It’s in the description! 😊
It seems like you didn’t watch any of PLP’s videos on this route 🤔 all the answers for the test were there.
Not sure what you mean?

holly christ..... a pan from titanium .......100 bux......
and here i cook at home with 1 bux pan for years......
🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂
Whatever works for you! That's actually our favorite piece of gear, because it's solved a couple problems for us. Was worth the investment for us, but doesn't work for everyone.
