    I find it so fascinating that there are these random shelters located throughout the mountains.

    Foresty Forest living the life many of us only dream about, keep it up! Crossing creek trail is a challenge on a motorized vehicle, I've been up on atv, so it's pretty amazing to see you biked/pushed over it! Beautiful country back there too!

    I'm impressed. When I was younger and bicycle touring a 100 km day was pretty standard but that was on pavement. Now, I can't imagine a 100 km day on my fat bike even unloaded! I live in Calgary so I know some of the trails you showed in the Little Elbow area.

    "Looks like it's going to pass" cut to rain storm :-) ...90% rideable...50% rideable...40% rideable...I'm glad you can keep your sense of humor faced with that awesome effort. Too bad solar panel and battery technology hasn't progressed to the point where you could wear a flexible solar panel on your back/on the bike that had enough juice to keep an ebike battery powered up so you could get some help on those hills. Keep ridin'... maybe in a few years...

    • @forestyforest
      @forestyforest  5 лет назад +7

      Yup just keeping the phone charged was a lot of effort. We are still in the dark ages of battery technology unfortunately. But i can't imagine touring these places before gps existed. I imagine eventually an app with every bikepacking trail highlighted, then you just piece together your own routes on the fly.

    I'm always absolutely fascinated by mountains and their illusion of being smaller than they really are. I'm not sure if its just because im watching a video. But look at 4:01 The mountains really dont look all that big, until you start to look at the tree's in the distance, you suddenly get an idea of just how huge they really are.

You would've had a free place to stay, choice of spare bedroom, free meals, transportation, anything you'd want. I would've just required you to like autograph the like behind a door or cabinet in return.
