On May 14th, 2024 I begin a seven year bikepacking trip around the world. The journey begins in Deadhorse, AK, a rugged and remote town in the Artic Circle. On top of long distances between resupply points I also have to worry about grizzly bears and other potentially dangerous animals.
This video highlights my Bear Vault food canister, and my MSR Whisperlite cooking stove set-up.
Items Mentioned in this Video:
-Bear Vault BV500 (actually 11.5L not 7L)
-MSR Whisperlite Internation Stove
-MSR Fuel Canister 20oz
-Sea to Summit X-Bowl 22oz
-Bikes or Death ti Mug
-Sea to Summit Aluminum Spoon
-Opinal Knife
-MSR 2L Aluminum Cooking Pot
Hey Friends! I started this channel to share my journey of bikepacking around the world. I am passionate about community and connection. I want to explore Kindness around the world, and volunteer my time to help others. I'm curious about learning the history and culture of other countries.
This channel is not about money, nor will it ever be. I share this for free because it brings me joy.
I hope you find joy in my journey as well.

The reflective tape on the bear canister is genius! If it was me.. - I'd ditch the heavy windshield and get a large aluminum plate and cut a strip. - same for the bottom reflector - same for the lid of the pot - I'd ditch the spork since I already had a spoon and a fork

The windscreen is already made of aluminum.

I love the back story to this. 46yr old, I can only dream of doing the same. Wishing you the best, and if you're ever in New England, hit me up, ++ to kindness!

Thank you! It will be several years before I make it to England, but I'd love to visit when I arrive.

Well, as much as I'd like to be in England proper, we're in NEW England, that funny little corner in the northeast USA :)

@cyclingkindness Qq: Do you have any other socials you might post to, so we may follow along? And do you think you'll be posting updates to YT as well? Or is the TrackLeaders site the best source?

I would be more careful with the fuel pump when carrying it externally without a spare pump. I guess it’s not as big of a deal in summer as it is in winter when your life depends on being able to melt snow. But it would still suck to be without a stove.

What’re you using for route finding, navigation, maps, and cyclo comp? Also, how did you go about obtaining visas?

@cyclingkindness 2 ай бұрын

I use a Garmin Etrex 30x for gps and navigation. It’s reliable and sturdy. I plan routes with my computer, usually using Ride With GPS, talking with others, and google. I’d recommend checking out Bicycle Travelers on Facebook. Someone will have an answer about Visa’s. I haven’t needed any so far.

Hope it works out for you, pal. Some of your equipment looks overly bulky to me, but im sure you will work it out on your way south.. ✌️

@cyclingkindness 2 ай бұрын

Me too! I am starting off with more food and layers than I will need because of the cold weather and long resupply in Alaska. I fully intend to tighten up my items after I've adapted to the touring life.

Do you think it possible to be able to bring all your gear on a bikepacking setup rather than using tradation pannier and racks setup ????

@cyclingkindness 2 ай бұрын

For me, no. I've raced for several years and there is no way to bring all of the stuff I want to bring. Electronics, cooking set up, and large quantities of food for the first stretch of Alaska take up too much space for a traditional set up.

@@cyclingkindness yeah camera gear and editing equipment is hard and extra food is really hard to find space on a bikepacking setup it possible but takes a lot of trail and error in packing then for me i like to also have spare 5 litres of space even after i get all the gear on the bike ..

@@Bikepacking Extra space is a must! We'll see how long I carry my hammock and camp chair. I may find the extra items more of a burden than a luxury. It will be fun!
