Well, many do see you as a professional whether you want to believe it or not. You have accomplished more than many wish they could. You are also a true "Inspiration" for us all.....well at least me......Good luck in your many travels.
Really good set up with smart solution on the fork. Recently I found out your channel. It is very pleasure to watch your content. Keep it up🙂 Be safe 🚲
I just didn't know how to mount stuff to the forks as I don't have any holes for screws and this belt thing was my solution. Nowadays i am using fork cages which made things much more easier:)
Hi ! You can get an adapter for your stove instead of having two of them. At least that's what we have to adapt our MSR stove onto the blue gas bottles.
Hello again... definitely on a bike trip even more so if we go alone; we need some music. My speaker broken and at the moment I'm without it and I miss it a lot. I sure liked your DIY setup with the belt, unusual! Good winds always on your way... Adios and até logo! 🌍⛺🚲🙏💪
Love your vids. I just got my new gravel bike, an Alpkit Sonder Camino Titanium. Got some ortleib panniers already but will be buying a few other bags and hopefully get out on trips when weather improves. Ps just be careful with those bungee straps keeping your ukulele strapped on... I know someone who lost an eye when one flicked back at them.... So keep them away from your eyes when stretching them or taking them off pleeease 🙏 (sorry to state the bleedin obvious) .
My setup is opposite. I pack fairly front heavy. I have the huge Surly front rack and put my Ortlieb bags there, and keep the saddle pack behind. In my frame I keep a regular 2 liter plastic bottle strapped to a blackburn outpost cage and a regular alu bike cage with bottle of 1 liter. I cycle in sweden and 3 liters is just enough for the kind of distance I do.
8mths travelling about in the sunshine - I am a little jealous..not disimilar to my own rig, though you travel lighter. Ortlieb really are the benchmark for panniers, I love mine! To my mind sponsorship is the death nell of a channel as it comes between maker and audience - but then what would I know ;-)
I'd say it depends on the sponsorship. Why not getting sponsored by a brand I really like and trust? And plus: bikepacking is not for free and at one point I need to create an income method to keep on going. I need to pay hostels and cafés for editing videos and I need food and water to keep me going. ;)
Another ace video! Suggestion.....would it be good to invest in a pair of SPD pedals and shoes? You can also use the shoes off the bike and clips give you a helping hand whilst peddling up hill 🤣🤣
Where are you ? If you can point the area , not precisely , but close enough , it seems to me that you're in a desert somewhere in Africa or the Middle East , which I know you are not , bike safely , God bless you , and stay safe . Hajj Ali / USA
