Man, the algorithms aren’t working. This should be one of the most watched adventure videos. Love that you are so engaged with nature - wildlife and flora.
I usually use the bike as kind of a "trekking pole" on very tough uphills. I push the bike a step, lock the brakes, pull myself up a step. It makes the climb just tiny bit less grueling. Anyway, keep enjoying your expedition, man, it's amazing!
That's exactly right. I've had people suggest a motor on the bike but I am reluctant to what a motor will weigh. I will always prefer an ultralight hike, packraft or bikepack limited to just the necessities. I pack the bike with ultralight trekking gear taking into account every gram due to the weight of the bike. The brakes do help on the accents.
@@witoldskrodzki5093 Interesting. A person living at that same lake (Night 1) suggested the same. I just worry about the weight of the battery. Thank you for your comments!
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. There are others. You can search for "incanexpeditions" then click on the logo with the Tumi face at the top and it will show all of the videos.
What a serenity and desolation there in the mountain valleys - you did a great trip! But if you don't mind, maybe the editing was a bit tight... how about more non-accelerated travel, simply slowing down? To get an idea of the majesty of the mountains, it’s nice to sit by the screen and let the miles go by ... boringly and epically at the same time. Your narratives are great but silent episodes - why not... letting the Nature tell its amazing, slow story. I'm sure you have great material for a longer movies, too! Never the less - I like very much to watch your videos!
Thanks for the feedback! I am willing to experiment with pace but not at the expense of losing interest. I will be giving this some good thought. Thanks again for taking the time to comment. I appreciate it!
I recommend anything lightweight. My bike is aluminum and weighs about 15kg. Nowadays there are aluminum, carbon and titanium frames which can weigh under 10kg. Titanium is the strongest.
Thanks! I have not done a full length feature film. Choquequirao is a little over an hr here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZACtzpzNg8c.html I would love to hike the Himalayas! Maybe one day.. Thank you for watching.
By 3 person tarp do you mean extra large such as a12X12 ft tarp? I use a 9X9 ft / 3X3 m DD SuperLight tarp which is enough for one person with gear. If 2 people will be using the same shelter you may want the bigger tarp. Try testing with a cheap piece of 12X12 plastic first before you invest in a good tarp.
