Cut tooth brush off into half to save a few grams, then brings a liquor flask. Love this guy.

@FilthyAsFuck 7 лет назад

I also cut my toothbrush in half for bikepacking, but that was so it'd fit in my little first aid/hygiene bag :P And never forget the whiskey!

@AdelaideBikeFreeway 7 лет назад

Yeah, it's rarely about weight. Just space-saving.

"That day, for no particular reason, I decided to go for a little ride. So I rode to the end of the road. And when I got there, I thought maybe I'd ride to the end of town. And when I got there, I thought maybe I'd just ride across Green Bow County. And I figured since I rode this far, maybe I'd just ride across the great state of Alabama! And that's what I did: I rode clear across Alabama. No particular reason, I just kept on going. I rode clear to the ocean. And when I got there, I figured since I'd gone this far, might as well turn around, just keep on goin'. When I got to another ocean, I figured since I'd gone this far, might as well just turn back, keep right on goin'. When I got tired, I slept. When I got hungry, I ate. When I had to go, you know...I went." "And so...you just rode!" "...Yeah!"

@raoulkoopman9408 7 лет назад

I realize that GCN is 'hard' at work with the triplet hour record, but what would have to happen to get a three part series of the presenters bikepacking for a weekend?

@JS-tb9hu 7 лет назад

Great idea!

@DanThemes 7 лет назад

That'd be awesome!

@luismedeiros7139 7 лет назад

Was this a job interview cause Sean would make a great Endurance Channel presenter :D "Welcome to ECN"

@AnthonyLock92 7 лет назад

my parents do a lot a cycle touring usually 1 or 2, 2 to 3 week trips a year and they go with the opposite approach. They don't really care about speed and have trailers. they just really enjoy cycling and seeing people. I did my own. trip a couple of years back and loaded up 2 paniers and a front box. and that was ideal in my eyes. enough comfert and enough speed. I guess what I'm saying is that there is no right formula, just get out and try a trip!

@MrPoldekrosmol 7 лет назад

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES FINALLY a video from GCN about Bikepacking! WOOHOOO!

@MrPoldekrosmol 7 лет назад

Damn it myself, you got to excited! A racing gramnerd is NOT they kind of bikepacking I like to do :) altough this could help me if I want to start to do more endurance cycling.

@Anony3141592 7 лет назад

Same...though "intend" rather than "like", but I am pleased to see a large beard is 'permitted' :-) [I don't have the budget for being a gramnerd in any case. My bike weighs what his entire kit comes to :-\ ]

@hippyswift 7 лет назад

MrPoldekrosmol yeah finally lol

@Ryan-ud3kk 7 лет назад

There should be regular episodes called "Where in the world is Sean Conway" where you all check in with him and see his latest adventures. He's a really good presenter and seems like he has been and will ride some pretty cool places.

@splashstrike 7 лет назад

An essential missed out would be a water filter, allows you to get water from streams.

@shamanbeartwo3819 4 года назад

I have an REI one somewhere in my earthquake kit. I lived outside for a year two different times and used it to drink out of a lake. They are quite small. One can also find some pretty decent drinking straws that are great filters just not designed to fill a pot or jug.

@TheVelomobileChannel 7 лет назад

That was interesting! I'd like to see more of this kind of content, bikepacking and endurance cycling.

@grumpy-dad3701 2 года назад

"Keep smiling adventures" is a great channel He rides all over the UK. I started watching bikepacking videos about 3 months ago, within 2 weeks I had arranged my 1st solo bikepacking trip. It was amazing already planning my next trip. If you haven't been bikepacking I would say plan, buy and then do it.

@jakefairley6993 7 лет назад

Love seeing you guys talking about touring, I'm a more into bikepacking than I am straight up road bikes but I still watch all your content, so it's awesome seeing you guys talk about something a bit different :D

I am also a bikepacking addict & only last week I cycled from Suffolk to Yorkshire for 'Mike Halls' funeral where luckily enough I bumped into Sean myself. I'm glad you guys finally done a bikepacking video as people can enjoy the combination of cycling and camping when going a long way. if anybody would like to come bikepacking with me please leave a comment or message me, peace

@spammy3164 3 года назад

I know I'm really late to this comment, but I really need some advice from someone experienced. Looking at camping for a few short trips with a couple friends. How many litres of storage roughly would you say I need for a 3 day round trip please?

@hippyswift 3 года назад

@@spammy3164 I normally get away with very little at around 25l of storage, plus bit of food in small hip bag 👍

@spammy3164 3 года назад

@@hippyswift thanks for the speedy response! Another cheeky question I have is where the bulk of the storage should be, like do I get a 10l saddlebag and smaller bags elsewhere or bigger frame bags etc and a smaller saddlebag? Thanks once again, this whole thing is super exciting

@dncsmedia 4 года назад

I loved the video. Haven’t but can’t wait to go on my first bike packing trip. It’s actually something I’ve wanted to do life long. Earlier in life, I thought motorcycle, but it never happened. Now I know it’s a bicycle. Have considered a cargo trailer and this video shows maybe that isn’t the best idea. I need a trailer to carry packages to the post office. (I’m in e-commerce) thanks for another great video. Si, You’re the man! 🚲🚲🤙🏼✌🏼❤️
