  • So appreciate your honesty and reality check about the laundry and one person waiting the hotel room 😂 Such a helpful video, thanks guys!!
  • @Scor-ah
    Yes menstrual cups are a must, I dont need them anymore but what a game changer on cycling and backpacking trips. Also hydrocortisone cream for those inflamed hot spots from chaffing is a great thing to have. Gets rid of the pain or itching in minutes. Love your videos
  • @danvance9701
    What a wonderful adventure this was for you. We eagerly anticipated every Sunday episode and enjoyed coming along on the ride. Very well done and thank you so much.
  • @jcmuellner
    Totally recommend the QuadLock. Have used it on Great Divide, Baja Divide and many other trips and it's been stellar. Mostly have the bike mount, but for GD and especially the rough Baja route I used the motorcycle mount. There is not many other routes rougher than that and it was solid all the way for my iPhone.

    Het a custom frame bag made by small cottage companies thier water proof and will fit 100% down to mm
  • @ADAMEDWARDS17
    I now need a DaBrim! As a glasses wearer there's nothing worse than being unable to see due to rain on the lenses.
  • @user-mz4uo6we2q
    The chain and cassette need ro be replaced at the same time so the wear is even and you don't have shifting issues. This is absolute gospel truth I learned from a mechanic.
  • @leapintothewild
    Hey, great list! I’ve got quite a few of these for camping, but wanted to share that a few years ago I switched from that same folding poop shovel to a titanium trowel - much, much lighter esp when you also dont need the heavy carry case. I just put the old folding shovel in my gardening kit! And I’ll second those Ghost puffies! Mine still wears like new and it’s maybe 10 yrs old? I think one of the tricks is always washing with Nikwax Down Wash. Expensive gear is absolutely worth it when you take care of it, and it’s so cool to see your well-loved gear keep going for so long! (YES! Burt’s Bees Pomegranate 💋)

    I immediately gave a like when the lady commented "or maybe you do" (although I was going to give a like by the end of the video, anyway)! 😂
  • @ChristaBusch
    Sehr interessant. Speziell die ausführlichen Erklärungen zu den DaBrim Teilen . Sowas hatte ich noch nie vorher gesehen.
  • @Bikepacking
    I never herd you have to replace cassette when replacing chain before that would be really expenive as i replace my chain ever 2000- 3000 miles the cassette i usally replace 20,000
  • @Bikepacking
    Looking forward to see the camera gear ps first aid kit ??
  • Im thinking of doing this trip also next year, and plan on purchasing a canyon gravel bike, opinion?
  • @symbiketour4704
