    This was a great video. It's nice seeing these adventures near Calgary. I hope you can do a "how to start bike packing" video soon for those of us newbies who want to get started. I might do a day trip bike around these roads this summer. Glad the algorithm recommended your videos.

      I’d recommend talking to one of our local bike shops, Bike Bike up on Edmonton Trail would be my recommendation since they focus on utility bikes and touring. They’ll have some good advice, as well as good routes to try. As long as you have a bike, tent and sleeping bag, you can get started touring! Used panniers sometimes come up for sale online. MEC makes a good backpacking tent. Lots of people overthink the gear, when the best way to figure out what works is to load up and start riding. Once you’re out there, you’ll have a great time.

    Look like a great route especially with blue sky scenery. From my cycle touring days I would consider saving all my shekels and try and lighten every piece of gear, even the bike. I do like the cycling shoes with the recessed spd cleat also. Can walk with them and they allow more power to the pedals. You can set the tension really light for sudden exit! 😊 Just a few random points. I'm sure they are already in your mind.

    Hellish, cold Canada is absolutely beautiful in early summer. Good thing you didn't completely run out of food and had to ride back on empty. You should have tried jumping to grab your stuck bags hanging on the tree to get it down? It looks like you could have done that and avoided dragging the heavy wooden table back and forth all by yourself. The bridge being down made your bike trip even more crazily epic.

    • @jennalexisko

    Just watched your video cycling around Iceland, just wanted to say congrats on that, plus doing it in crocs.
    Most importantly though, and I know it may sound sort of run-of-the-mill. I used to not take this seriously either, but, you’re a soul and you matter to Jesus. If you haven’t already, I pray you one day place your complete faith and trust into His finished work on Calvary and accept his free gift salvation through faith in his shed blood to pay for your sins once and for all (Romans 3:23-25, 1 Corinthians 15:1-4).
    I heard the gospel for the first time on RUclips from pastor Gene Kim and I just hope to see and those you care for up in heaven, that’s what it’s all about.
    Congratulations again on your journey, that was awesome.
