    So nice to see a real world traveller who's used real world affordable items. So many people these days giving out advice are just naming top drawer brands and the absolute best of everything. You've proved that is not the case. Great Informative vid, thanks 👍

    • @WheelstoWander
      @WheelstoWander  3 года назад +9

      Thanks! We believe bicycle travel should be for everyone 🚲 🏕 Top brands have there place and if you can afford them that's great. Affordable options should always be mentioned to keep it open for people with a tighter budget. A "budget option" series could be a worth while addition to the channel!?

      @@WheelstoWander Yes definitely. I, for one, would certainly be interested. I'm pretty sure there's a lot of other people out there who are put off by the pricier kit. It's always best to start cheap and work your way to the expense stuff. If it turns out to be a hobby you actually like doing then the option to upgrade your equipment is always a good incentive to plan your next adventure.

    Nice setup for a long haul tour. The only changes I can recommend would be to install a front rack with a platform over the front wheel. Second lower the handlebar bag off the handlebars and mount it on top of the front rack. Taking the handlebar bag off the handlebars lowers the center of gravity and improves steering. The platform on the front rack creates new options for storing or moving equipment from back of the bike to the front, if the rear rack is damaged. One of my sets of front panniers are connected together and can be slung over the top platform "saddle bag style" and quickly removed.

    • @WheelstoWander
      @WheelstoWander  6 месяцев назад

      Thanks for the tips there Tom! I am looking at an upgrade with a front rack as we speak. More versatility for roughly the same weight sounds great to me! All the very best!

    Thanks for the great gear list which I'll keep for future reference. When riding instead of a typical baseball style cap i use a tennis cap and when it gets cold a cosy ear warmer head band to wrap around the ears and forehead. Also plain clear lens glasses with this cap keeps the rain out of the eyes.

    Thanks for the video! I enjoyed seeing how you keep your stuff organised. We splurged on Heliox folding chairs a couple of seasons ago. We wild camp most of the time and they really help to make any campsite comfy. By the way, we can recommend OR's swiftcap: lightweight (fits under a helmet), breathable, low maintenance, nice colours (most importantly ;)

The nut tore straight through the fabric . Was a bit of a nightmare to try to fix . I’m going again for a very long time in a few months and decided to get a Burley Travoy trailer . Just need something I take into shops and libraries etc to recharge batteries. Sounds perfect , but not sure of durability. There is one that’s twice the price of Burley that looks awesome and very tough . A bit out of my range. Thank you so much for advice. Hope your next trip is great 💚🌍💚

    Excellent. I have those Ortleibs, love them, but am aware of that screw issue, so I put some loctite in there. The only thing that bothers me sometimes about them is the possibility of condensation, so I try to vent the tops on warm days and use silica gel packs where needed. If the tent is still wet, it gets shook out, but then goes loose without the bag in the trunk bag. That bag is not an Ortleib, just a Bauer hockey duffel. If it rains I just tarp it. That way damp stuff gets some road- air for a couple hours. So, Anything damp goes in the trunk bag . I ziplock anything electronic with added silica gel packs. Absolutely LOVE the camera advice!!! Your work is outstanding. I just built a kickass dual chamber rocket stove out of tin cans and it weighs absolutely nothing, starts in seconds, and will do a liter in 4 minutes , has its own pot holder. I carry 4" splits of pine wood for it which is very light , best stove I've ever built. I get blue flame with it. No smoke. I'll use that next trip if I'm not in a deluge using the Isobutane , fighting the wind... I'm in CT USA so cold and damp is a focus. I too carry a big heavy Vice Grip because weight weenie bike tools suck when you are freaking out.

    • @WheelstoWander
      @WheelstoWander  3 года назад

      Hi Robert, Great idea to put Loctite on the screws! I am going to do that for the next trip. Nice, I also build wood gas/rocket stoves in the past so great to hear you are using those as an option! Dampness can be a pain but I have to say not really a problem with the Ortliebs for me... perhaps I am lucky ;) All the Best and may some good weather coming your way!!

      @@WheelstoWander Helmets are like carbon frames, you can't always see the damage you do to them when you drop them and you don't want to find out when you really need it that it's ready to crack. Bontrager offers a crash guarantee with their helmets so if you damage it in the first year they'll send you out a brand new one. Check out their Wavecel options, they're a bit pricey but super breathable and give much better protection than standard helmets even the Giro helmets with MIPS.

      @@moirahornik4562 fyi you might be thinking of motorcycle helmets that's get their safety from the hard shell. Bicycle helmets get a lot of their safety from the impact foam and the shell is more cosmetic than protective. Not all bike helmets are like that, I am sure some are a little different but most are just big round foam buckets for your head

    Can the rain upper also double up as a wind breaker?? Just asking...
    Also all of those bags to organise also add up in weight, right? May be just use bin liners instead ....
    A three man tent instead of four :) you guys are so fit, far too much extra space in a 4 man tent ⛺ right :)
    Sleeping bag could have been down, to safe weight and volume...
    A sit pad and a chair, can ditch one I think :)
    Electronics , just a smart phone, charger, battery bank , memory cards n solar panel and universal plug...is enough :) for me...could use a cyber cafe or something like that work work...lots of weight saving there..
    Also the weight distribution on the bike , may be heavy panniers on the front rack and light ones at the back, as you sit so upright, there will be too much weight for the back wheel....
    These are just my views, me no expert..I am not judging, just conversing :)

      We like merino wool shirts as a base layer. One on the bike, one backup and one as pyjama (with a longjohn) to keep the sleepingbag clean and add some extra warmth. Depending on the weather a lightweight/medium weight longsleeve blouse. We both have trailrunners and some slippers for of the bike/hotel use! Hope this helps!!

    Hi. Thanks for the excellent equipment list. I've based my own packing list almost exclusively on your recommendations. In your video it looked like you attached the 49lt rack pack to the 35lt pro rear panniers. Is this correct? Do you know if the 31lt rack pack attaches to the ortlieb back roller pro pro 35lt panniers, or is it only the smaller back roller classic 20lt that have the ability to attach the rack pack? I've ordered the 20lt panniers but would like to get the 35lt if the rack pack attached. Looking forward to your next video. Thanks.

    • @WheelstoWander
      @WheelstoWander  2 года назад

      Thanks Gordon, that is great to hear! Indeed that is the pannier and rack pack setup I used to ride with. The 35L pro's and 49L rack pack. The 31L rack pack should fit the 35L pro panniers just fine. At the moment I scaled down to a 31L rp with the "normal" 20L panniers. Feels good to be a bit slimmer ;) All the Best!!

      Hi Carl! The microphone is the Sony ECM GZ1M with a Gutmann Windscreen. It really does the trick pretty well. There is only a kind of soft humming noise (like a stationary motor) from time to time in the background. Thanks, glad you liked it! Ha, yes, perhaps we would take some nice thing here and there 😉 All the Best

    Hey a question: what features on the Sony A 6000 did you find helpful in your long tour? I know that model is getting a bit outdated now, but it's still getting nods. I know the fact that it has unlimited clip time must have been key for you guys. Your videos look great. I'm comparing this to the Panasonic Lumix . I would also prefer a mic jack . Thanks.

    • @WheelstoWander
      @WheelstoWander  3 года назад

      It's a great little and affordable camera to put that first (we bought ours second hand). Combined with the OSS 18-105 lens makes it really nice for video because of the lens stabilisation. It's quite compact, autofocus is decent, burst shooting is good. For a next camera we woud also prefer a mic jack and even a headphone jack. IBIS, a swivel screen and beter dynamic range. Perhaps even go full frame! We also heard many good stories about the Lumix!

    This is an excellent video, there are lots of good tips. Exempt one: that helmet has to go. I realise this is a budget setup and you want to keep stuff until it's screaming to be thrown away, but any helmet is a single crash item. The helmet does not know that your head was not in for the ride when you dropped it, and it's cracked like an egg. It is dead weight and false security.
    Personally I only wear helmets if I intend to push my limits so I'm not insisting you wear a helmet or go without, just leave that particular one in the bin.
    I no longer work in the bicycle industry, but I have accumulated 16 years experience, both racing and selling bikes, and as a commissaire.
