How to Eat Enough Food While Bike Touring 

Thanks for going through the effort of making this video. This is really authentic. Speaks to me, especially the planning and rescheduling. That's life I guess.

Awesome video! Love hearing about the behind-the-scenes of bike touring and all the prep work and logistics you do. I hope everything goes as planned next time but honestly the little unexpected improvisations are some of my favorites 😅. The editing was amazing btw!

Cup. Bowl. Both work. It's the trip that matters. Have fun and don't sweat the small stuff. Hope you'll get back to doing videos because they're informative and enjoyable.

Canister stoves, If anyone is stove shopping, the JetBoil MicroMo boils water in 1.3 mins. It has a heat exchanger, and regulator so it boils and simmers, a 4oz canister will last almost a week in the backcountry. Open stoves like the MSR Pocket Rocket are light, but inefficient. Multi fuel gas stoves are good above 10,000 feet and for snow camping. That 55 year old brass Svea, yep, I owned one in 1972, there is a reason they disappeared. Looks like you rode Old Hwy 80 to Alpine, then north on 79 or Sunrise Hwy to Julian, down Banner Grade into Anza Borrego. There is a neat way to make a loop of that trip with a lot of off-road away from traffic. Happy trails!☮

The whisper lite series is a good stove. Its roots go back to 1898. For some reason the makers have abandoned the simpler original pressurized design made of brass tank and removable tower. The only moving part is the pressurizing pump, which needs a new gasket about every 50 years. No replaceable fuel line that goes from the fuel bottle to the burner tower folding stabilizer legs. My go two for a kick ass power house is the Optimus 00 still available on the secondary market. Fits comfortably in a two liter pot, with room left over for kitchen tools and nests inside a three liter pot and easily feeds four. When put together they look like a canister stove, but Kerosine burns almost twice as hot as a canister stove. For one or two traveling together I use the Seva 123 which is simple perfection and fits in a one liter pot. It has a built in wind screen heat key to adjust flame, cooks using one or two liter pot and runs on white gas. I have used it on week cross country ski trips. How did the hold up? Mine in use after 55 years and still going strong. The secret to getting enough calories in a day is to eat three meals and nosh all day long with finger food in your grub bag.

Food. Is. Everything. I make the same food mistakes over and over again because I am continually surprised - you really cannot eat too much!

Beer helps me with calories while touring

I guess with needing 6.5k calories, you should also have some food high in fat. I personally couldn't even hope to choke down that many calories in a low fat style. Buttered bread might be very nice, for example. Or cold pizza.

Muilt fuel stove is only way to tour special world tour gas canister impossible to find in remote places .. the best stove for me is Optimus Polaris Optifuel as it can slimmer and easy to clean even when using it and dont have to change nozzle when switching fuels

Very good video. Please upload this type of camping and cooking videos.

It's been long time no new video ?

You can file off the sharp edges quickly & easily. Multifuel is the key. You can also multifuel your canister burner with a few small lightweight adapters for butane & propane & ISO. Any more silly excuses?

long time no new video ?

Spend on food save on fuel

Kerosene?

Do your self a favour, get some fresh pasta or even better get some couscous. With couscous you pour the boiling water onto the grains and allow them to cook for 2 min. No need to waste fuel boiling pasta for 20 min and you don't have pasta water to drink.
