    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.

    I love your positive mentality. I have a similar inner dialogue when going through tough times. It was so comforting to hear the way you manage obstacles and keep yourself sane and grounded. Way to make the safer decision at the river. I'm studying to become an herbalist, and I recommend picking and eating some dandelion leaves for extra nutrients and a fresh salad! ❤

    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
