Wow that old road bike had a garden gate as a frame ! Im 6ft 5 too

@HumanontheLoose 2 года назад

Wow you're tall too. I was so impressed with how little he was traveling with going across the USA! I am surprised more comments didn't mention him at all.

@johnmclean8643 2 года назад

When I bike tour I take a small folding chair,without the stuff sack (4 oz.).You can relax the back.The extra weight and bulk are worth it to me but most of my miles are on pavement.

@HumanontheLoose 2 года назад

That's really nice - I own a small one but wouldn't have worked for me on this trip. Well maybe - if I didn't take a freaking RAFT! 😂 Between last season and this one I'm learning a lot about what type of trips to create in my future.

@johnmclean8643 2 года назад

@@HumanontheLoose I set up a 9 ft x9 ft.tarp when the weather threatens and the chair 🪑 makes it comfortable. I can cook and keep my gear dry.

@eternal7083 2 года назад

i always bring 5 meters of orange microcord.Packs small and weighs next to nothing = instant clothes line.Cam also be used in n emergency. All my tent pegs have orange reflective cord loops on them. Changed from a silnylon tent to a dyneema tarp.Dyneema doesn't stretch and is hydrophobic.Give it a couple shakes and -bam- it's dry again :)

@HumanontheLoose 2 года назад

I can't do tarps because although I talk to bugs I don't like not knowing where they are going while I'm sleeping. 😂 Thanks for sharing helpful information as well as for those who read comments! Rope - do you know I think I had some but was so focused on it being to hang food from bears I'd forgotten. Ya - that's me - definitely dopey moments.

Missed you last week, so pleased that you are back, I needed a Naomi fix. You needed a people fix and you got it. It was nice to see your smile and light heart. Life is like baseball. Sometimes you get a base hit and even a home run, other times you strike out. You win some and loose some and sometimes you get rained out. Spin those wheels beautiful lady. As always thanks for taking us along.

@HumanontheLoose 2 года назад

So kind! YOU NAILED IT! I really did without realizing it since I'm really a loner. Probably because they taught me a lot and I ate real food and sat in a chair. 😂 SO impressed with the kid's setup for going across the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!

@michaelmiller6878 2 года назад

This new journey seems fun! In my opinion, the Sawtooths are some of the best scenery in all of Idaho. Hard to see the best spots by bike since it gets pretty steep to some of those high mountain lakes. Your plan to backpack it will make a fun new adventure to add to your list. I'm sure you dried out quickly once you got back to Boise. It's those challenges that make the beautiful moments all the better by contrast. Thanks for sharing!

@JDMc2.0 2 года назад

You're so funny! Yes wet mornings suck. Oh yeah ants want sugar so be careful. Wet and cold is the miserable part of these parties but somebody has to do it. How does the beet powder work? If it tastes like beets then Ugh! The nitric oxide effect might be a game changer tho. Looks like Galena Lodge is a treasure! Bike shop too? Sweet! I said "No way!" When you walked inside. So you're poking at the grasshoppers while they were doing some poking of their own, then asked if you were 'screwing' something up?🤣 It's super hard riding and hiking rocky steep singletrack packing all that gear, so those nasty techy trails you ride in southern Utah on Strava surely helps a little to keep the rubber side down. Great episode!

@HumanontheLoose 2 года назад

"ants want sugar so be careful" Very witty of you J.D.! 👏 I was truly spoiled last season with 51 days of awesome weather and only lots of moisture my first few days. Incredible. Really changed the rhythm of a trip for me. It does taste like beets because it's beets. 😉 I talk about it in one of the food prep videos at the beginning of this season but to summarize...it helps increase blood flow is TOTALLY works! I was just as shocked as you about there being a bike shop. Yes - a truly sincere dork moment but those who know me just roll their eyes with a giggle. "There's Naomi talking to bugs again!" HA!

What a treat to sit down at lunch and have you entertain me. Glad you had a happy time at Galena Lodge between your camping rantings. Backpackers and Thru hikers use a Talenii (sic) ice cream plastic jar and lid to cold soak their ramen or oatmeal for a couple of hours while hiking. You could do the same. You would have to eat the ice cream first. Not a problem for you. Ride On.

@HumanontheLoose 2 года назад

Naomi, I can’t believe you don’t like camping. That’s the best part of bikepacking. I am just entering the sport. Your 2021 trip was a huge inspiration and helped me chose equipment for my first bikepacking adventure. As you can tell from my RU-vid Handle, I am not new to overland travel and camping, so the transition to bikepacking isn’t that hard for me… what is hard is settling on new gear. With 30 years of accumulated car camping and backpacking gear it has been hard for me to justify bikepacking specific equipment. Most of the summer I have been making my own gear bags because no one sells the bags with the features I want for a price I can actually afford. I am hoping to hit the road next Friday for my first multi-night adventure. The plan is to ride the Wallow Mountain Loop (North East Oregon) with my own dentures. My ride is a 2022 Trek 520 Grando that has been heavily upgraded. Keep the rubber down, breeze to your back, and see you on your next drop. Keep it real Naomi, love your channel.

@jonathonwexter6627 2 года назад

I think she likes camping but she’s had a lot of rain this trip and moisture inside her rainfly making it a longer task getting up out in the morning. Sounds like a great trip and bike. Have fun fellow pedaler!

@shakyhandpictures2185 2 года назад

It’s not all sunshine and flowers, every once in a while a trip will turn to shit, weather, health, mechanical bullshit, so many things can happen. Soooooooo, I’m very pleased to see you’re modifying your plan, once you find your rhythm it’ll all fall into place. I just finished 490.8 kms in four days on Brutus pulling the trailer, a couple of those days my butt was killing me, and I’ve been full time in the bike for over a year and a half, I felt your discomfort. As always, my best, Rick

@HumanontheLoose 2 года назад

I was truly spoiled in Season 1. Rain maybe one afternoon and only moisture during my first few days out of 51 days. Truly amazing! I guess there is less moisture in Montana. 😂 😂 WOW! That's a lot of miles in four days WITH a trailer! Impressive indeed!

@scottsinisi7570 2 года назад

Great respect for nature…I would have moved those shagging buggers to the grass…no harm no foul…good seating is at a premium. I feel you on the depressing wet and cold, but I guess you have to think like a fish or a seal or something and try to embrace the diversity of weather and habitat. Best :)

Indeed a gorgeous spot! I especially loved the sweet little fresh stream running. Shocked no one else was around. It certainly has been a lot on this trip compared to last season. It really does change the whole "experience." Luckily this wasn't my first season otherwise I may not have had another.

@tallcip65 Год назад

@@HumanontheLoose They are all single day up and back hikes. Some are more challenging than others. No real "technical" climbing aside from a few spots like chicken out ridge on borah peak. The weather can play a role as well. We did Donaldson in 50+ mph winds with quite a bit of snow left on the mountain and the exposure up top was unnerving at times.

@HumanontheLoose 2 года назад

YAY!! 👏 Yaaaa - what the freak is going on?! 😂 I'll give you a serious answer even if you weren't seeking one. The "ABOUT" tab page on any channel shows date of creation (bottom). I noticed some with tons of subs have been around awhile. Getting a late start I have more competition in being FOUND. I suck at self-marketing - no website blog or keep up with Instagram. I also don't have a history of being an EXPERT and don't buy subs, comments, views...etc. A common practice for some which is obvious if you look at comments/likes against subs. But shockingly a little cheek was the best marketing campaign without trying. Who knew?! Thank you for sharing such kind feedback! Always inspires me.

@adebslife9928 2 года назад

As usual you had me laughing, cringing and enjoying your journey. That cute little boy wanted to be on camera so bad when you were talking to the two cyclists. I trust you had an ice cream while you were at that incredible lodge because the Ramen concoction couldn't have been tasty at all. I don't know how you sit on those bike seats all day, my lady parts would be numb and we wouldn't want that😄. You are an inspiration; give me a hotel room, or better yet a beach house, any day.🌊🤩 ❤️

Looks like Overland covered it for me! 👍 As for trails...I'm still on the Idaho Hot Springs Loop trail I just didn't veer off onto the singletrack section in this area. There are I believe 4 single track sections off the whole loop. This is making me think that the next video I should show a map view so folks understand what that means.

@bartmullin8018 2 года назад
