Family summer vacation 2021. In our family, summer vacation means packing the tent and heading outdoors. This year, we wanted to go to the mountains. The question was just how to get there. With the Delta variant of the COVID-19 virus spreading rapidly through Norway, public transport didn’t really tempt us.
Living without a car, we would have to get there under our own steam. Our goal simply became to ride to the mountains with our dog while avoiding high-traffic roads as best we could. Things went rather smoothly half way around our loop, but then our luck seemed to have come to an end.
Filmed with Fujifilm XT-3 and Fujifilm XC 15-45mm f/3.5-5.6 OIS PZ.
All photos except for the packrafting images were captured with Fujifilm X-pro1 and the XF18 f/2 lens.

What a beautiful video, and such a nice landscape and story. I've only been once in Norway in the early 2000s - still loving the memories of the wilderness and quietness and roughness of the country. When my kids will be old enough, i could imagine to make a tour like this :-) Best of all is what you said: "Home is where ever you pitch your tent." Also your gear is great. No fancy ultra light stuff makes it even more human and likeable. Thanks a lot!

@@m4xypads4life Bikepacking can be just as hard or easy as you make it. This trip had some pretty tough climbs, but bikepacking in flatter terrain with a light load can be relaxing and easygoing. The most important thing is to practice gradually to make the pet comfortable sitting in the crate. Banjo has become accustomed to be in his crate and relaxes as soon as we put him into it. We used clicker-training with treats to train him. That should work well with a cat, too. Good luck!

Nice trip! Nice video! Channel is subscribed :) I travelled through the backwoods along the Norwegian-Swedish border this summer, mainly following National Bike Route 9 for quite a while (in Norway, roughly from Stoa to Magnor). Very lovely area! Lots of ups and downs though … Enjoyable open huts run by the National Forst Service … Anyway, when watching your video, it reminded me when I was climbing a steep hill from Trysil southwards. I cycled through almost five km of posh holiday cottages! It felt unreal and just not right. Not what I had expected from Norway … But I was very lucky to spend two nights in a simple (no electricity / running water / shower) but extremely cosy isolated cottage some 20k down the road. So, I can understand that many people have the desire to call a holiday cottage their own. And not all of those cottages can be located in isolation … But I totally agree - the trend of holiday villages does not seem to go into the right direction. Great travels!

Thanks for commenting and the sub! 😊🙏 The area you cycled in is a rather desolate area of Southern Norway except for the area around Trysil, I suppose. Further west, the areas with cabin villages are extensive. I guess we all want that cabin in the woods, but as you point out, its not really possible 😄 Sounds like a good trip, though, I haven’t cycled quite that far east in Norway yet 😄👍

​@@BackwoodsBikepacking Thanks for your reply! The trip was indeed really nice. Very beautiful landscape (maybe apart from the clear-felling areas in between …). The Finnskogen area was also culturally very interesting. It was probably the most charming scenery (together with Idrefjäll and north from there) on my way from nearby Östersund to Trelleborg. But coming from the lowlands, I found the hilly terrain quite demanding and caught myself cursing the existence of hills not only once 😊 I wish you many more exciting breakouts and family trips into the backwoods!

Glad you enjoyed the video and are planning to go out with your family! 😊🙏 The boots are the Fåborg model of the Danish shoe brand Duckfeet (rather descriptive name 😄). They are rather old school with a sole made of natural rubber. The sole is rather hard and also slippery in muddy conditions, but other than that, I’m pretty happy with them.

This is one of the most well-produced and beautiful bikepacking films I've seen. So lovely to see your family out exploring together and making memories right from your front door. I've got a few geeky questions about the bags on the black bike. I see you've got a Carradice Camper on the back. Is that supported by the Bagman? If so how did you find the Bagman's durability over rough roads? I've got a Camper/Bagman setup and used it lightly loaded with no problems so far and wondered how you got on. And the bag on the front looks like a Camper with the side pockets removed. Is that right? If so that's a great hack! Thanks once again for making such a wonderful and compelling video. You made my day!

Thanks for the kind words, Eddie, they’re very much appreciated and made my day! You are absolutely right about the Carradice Longflap Camper and the Bagman. I’ve had doubts about the Bagman myself, but all in all, I think this one has seen about 2500 kilometres over the last couple of years. Although it’s been used on some rather rocky gravel sections, the surface has been fairly even and smooth most of the time. I wouldn’t hesitate using it on gravel with a moderate load (say 5-6 kg), but would stay clear of rocky trails. It’s been in their catalog for years if I’m correct, so I guess any issues would have surfaced by now and hopefully corrected.

Removing the front pockets was done to leave more space for the hands riding on the hoods on the drop bars. Ironically, we might change the drop bar to a flat bar in the near future. Thanks again for your comment!

Hej, I love your video, very inspiring. But I'm also really into the Fuji looks. I am planning a bike packing trip this summer, I want to start in Sweden either in Stockholm or Gothenburg and then I plan to enter Norway in Sälen and then I want to ride further north to Rondane or Dovre Nationalpark, and then turn south again. Is there any chance to see your route/gps track? Or wich regions or landmarks did you pass?
@BackwoodsBikepacking
@BackwoodsBikepacking 2 жыл бұрын
Glad to hear you enjoyed the video! I usually don’t share specific routes, but I would suggest that you use a combination of ridewithpgs.com, norgeskart.no and perhaps kart.finn.no. The latter can show you shops to get supplies («Vis kartsymboler», choose «Handel»). You can use aerials to determine wether the road has centre line or not to identify the small country roads. I would avoid the main roads in the major valleys as much as possible and try to link up the national cycle routes with smaller roads and forestry roads. There are quite a few nice gravel roads north of Rondane (Grimsdalen) and northwest of Rondane. Going south, I’d stay clear of E6 if you’re anything like me who hates riding in traffic.

That was wonderful! I’m very interested in taking a cycling trip of Norway, Finland, possibly Lapland and some of Sweden. I’m planning a coast to coast ride in the US first. I have a question about you riding In hiking 🥾 boots. Aren’t they heavy and do they rub your ankles? I plan to ride in regular bike shoes not made for cleats because they are made stiff on the bottoms and mountain pedals with the small spindles for gripping. My US trip will be nearly 100% on paved roads using the Adventure cycle cross continent trail. Thanks for sharing. Norway is beautiful. I’ve always been interested and was recently surprised by a DNA 🧬 profile showing Norwegian heritage. I think I’m a biking Viking now 😊. 👍☮️🚴‍♀️🚵‍♀️🚵‍♂️🏕🐾❤️

Thanks, glad you liked it! 😊🙏🏻 I ride in all sorts of footwear depending on the ride. If I’m on my Surly cross bike, I’m riding with a pair of mob shoes with cleats. I’ve also been riding in everything from sandals to big, fat Sorel Bighorn boots in winter. Lately, I’ve been experimenting with riding with boots also outside winter. Boots will normally be heavier than shoes, but for bikepacking, I find the advantages of their ruggedness and weather resistance outweigh that, especially in the shoulder seasons, when the weather can act up. For a fast and light ride, the con of them being a little more heavy might outweigh the advantages, I guess. I don’t find that they rub at all as the movement of the feet in my experience is less extreme on a bike than while walking. Sounds really great with a ride across the US, and interesting to hear about your DNA test regarding Norwegian heritage. Hope you have a nice ride, good to know there’s biking Vikings roaming the US on two wheels 😊🏕🚲

The second reason is that I was tied to the bike with Banjo in the back most of the time. Riding in front of them and shooting behind me was kinda challenging, so I ended up with a lot of shots from behind.
