Thanks for the feedback Christian, much appreciated. I agree with you, the ambience really draws you in. I'll keep this in mind for future uploads.

Sorry to hear about your dog, I hope you both made a lot of good memories and adventures in the time you both had together. It's a shame dogs have a short lifespan but I'm making the most of the time I have with my Naden and he's a big part of my camping experience now. Thanks for watching!

My smart dog definitely outperforms my smart watch, it's one of many benefits of having a dog with you during a camping trip. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for subscribing! I've been out of action for a couple of months but I'm finally out on a new E-bike wild camping trip this weekend so hopefully I'll be churning out some fresh content more regularly now. Appreciate the feedback, it's great to hear your thoughts on the channel! Tommo

I'm originally from the UK, currently living in mainland Europe

Thanks for watching 👍🏻

It was my own resource requirement, collecting any more than I actually needed would have been a waste of time and energy. Glad you found it amusing however 😄

Happy new year and thanks for the encouragement! You're right, the process of making a video like mine is a lot of work but is most definitely a labour of love. I'll be churning out a few videos over the coming weeks after enjoying some downtime over the Christmas period. Thanks for watching 🤙🏼

Hey Stephen, Got to love this time of the year for wild camping and thrashing your bike through the sticks! My E-Bike is over 2 years old now and is still going strong, albeit with a few small modifications. Thanks for watching 🤙🏼

Have fun and stay safe out there. Thanks for watching!

Hi, thanks for commenting. I am aiming to shed some weight and gear for next year. My motor copes well on hills when the bike is fully loaded but the battery life suffers as a consequence. I do like your reflective foam solution to keep your food and water cool. You might have inspired me to make a insulated sleeve for my bottle sometime in the near future 👍🏻

I don't intend to reveal any of my locations on the KZfaq platform. I stick to my anonymity and secrecy in order to continue enjoying what I do without drawing attention to myself. Some of these locations I intend to revisit in the near future. After all, the journey is always more important than the destination 😄 Central Europe is the best I can offer for now, hope my answer didn't disappoint too much. Thanks for watching!

I think it's a sensible option for any E-bike owner as it keeps the electronic components dry. Another bonus for me is that it is not immediately clear that an expensive E-BIKE is under the cover which aids security and as a wild/stealth camper, I need to keep those reflectors covered up. Thanks for watching 👍🏻

@@TheNorthOutdoorsUK Absolutely, I'm planning to ride the Scottish North Coast 500 next year on my Raleigh Modus and whilst wild camping is allowed throughout Scotland being stealthy and not 'displaying' your hard earnt ebike is still sensible. And it does rain a lot in Scotland!

@@TheNorthOutdoorsUK I need one of these covers for my Himiway. Where did you purchase this?

If you Google search 'camouflage motorcycle dust cover' you're bound to find one similar to mine. My cover was purchased on AliExpress a year ago.

@@TheNorthOutdoorsUK thank you!

The RAD rack was one of my favourite modifications, you can fit so much gear up front. If you have the rear rack then panniers similar to mine are the way to go. My panniers are durable, fully waterproof, light and large enough for all my camping gear.

I'd buy another in a heartbeat. It's very lightweight and durable trailer with a 45kg load capacity, just right for my requirements.

@@TheNorthOutdoorsUK I pushed mine hard though, overloading it to 110 lbs. It can take it.

I luv the Burley that and my fat ebike one of the best purchases I've made 👌

Thanks for the feedback, I'm glad the extra effort I put in is appreciated. Since I'm out riding for the entire day, it's no trouble for me to stop at any random point, walk 15 metres ahead and back again as it's only a 2 minute job. Even I enjoy watching back the third person perspective shots because it gives me the chance to see how the bike looks and rides from someone else's viewpoint.

Must be the fish eye lens camera I was using to get the castle in shot. After watching it back I admit the perspective looks quite peculiar!

Glad you're enjoying the videos! The table in question is the Best Buddy from a German company called Schwarze Biene Outdoor

Thanks for the feedback 👍🏻 I bought the front rack from a company called Rad Power Bikes for around £60 (€70). The rack is not made for my bike so I had to widen the factory drilled holes a few millimetres. It is mounted directly to my bike's head tube so it doesn't move when turning the handlebars. This was important for me because it doesn't affect performance and your gear is stable during the ride. The carrying capacity is rated at 10 kilos. I think this rack is a pricey but practical addition to my bike. It's well made and the flat and wide design gives you the potential to stow extra gear unobstructed from the sides and has plenty of attatchment points for bungee cord fixing.

@@TheNorthOutdoorsUK Thank you. I think it always worth investing the money for a quality product that meets your needs. I went with a couple of sus fork carriers from Topeak that can accommodate up to 5k each that put the weight lower, BUT they are held on by supplied cable ties and you have to buy suitable small waterproof bags as well. I may be being pessimistic but I can't see cable ties lasting much longer than a year so I will be looking at the Rad rack as an alternative I think.

I looked in to fork mounted carriers before opting for the front rack. I didn't know topeak used cable ties to secure the carriers, I would also be a bit wary of them breaking. The Ortlieb branded fork carriers use rubber coated metal pipe clips which seem like they give a good solid grip to the forks but I do like that on my front rack I keep my gear dry and I have more space to carry a multitude of items.

Mostly Amazon purchases. All my dog gear is customised by myself in some way or other to better suit our lifestyle. Thanks for watching!

I tend to avoid the main roads but have done in the past. I have a harness and leash attached to the trailer setup for my dog if I know I'm sharing the road with vehicles.

Hey thanks for watching, glad you are enjoying the content. Almost all my videos are filmed in Eastern Europe. I don't disclose my exact locations so I can revisit and continue enjoying doing what I do. Unfortunately a lot of people don't tolerate Wild Camping and E-Bike riders regardless of how respectful and responsible you may be..

@The North Outdoors Thank you for replying, I hope you're both well, stay safe always, and may God be with you wherever you go. 😊 🙏🏻

I think I might need a motor upgrade to keep up with him.. 😅

Unfortunately I don't give my locations away. It's all for the benefit of the channel.

I ride within the range of my bike (50km give or take) but when I want to travel further, I take an identical battery along with me for double the range.

If I was to tour with the bike then I'd plan an overnight stay at a campsite with mains power supply for overnight Charging. I also own a duplicate backup battery which gives me double the range.

In answer to your question, there's always a possibility to charge the battery whilst touring. One option is to visit or stay overnight at a campsite that offers mains power. An alternative is to visit a restaurant and cafe that accommodates cyclist's requests to charge batteries during your stay on their premises. My solution was to buy a duplicate battery for double the range

The front rack was purchased from Rad Power Bikes and had to be customised by drilling the screw holes wider to fit my frame.

It's a Garmin Tactical Instinct 2, I use it to mark my campsite location mostly. There are a tonne of features on this watch I should be using but don't. For Navigation I use the OS Maps apps for Android

Thanks for subscribing, I've been out of action for a while due to a motorcycle accident and a few other inconveniences but I'll be uploading more regularly from now on 😊

A video that answers that very question is currently in production, I'll get back to you with the answer shortly!

@@TheNorthOutdoorsUK looked like you'd well thought out your set up ... A kinda amalgamation of lightweight camping and bushcraft ..I liked it

In answer to your question, my gear including the weight of the bags comes to just over 17 kilos. Rider weight pre-christmas festivities should be about 80 kilos 😅

@@TheNorthOutdoorsUK so basically I am you and your kit + 😂😂

My Ebike is a customised 2021 Himiway Cruiser. Fully laden and towing the dog, I get just over 40km of range and an extra 10 riding light. The bike is legally speed restricted to 25kph. The Cruiser has a twist throttle. Thanks for watching 🤙🏼

My bike handles just fine and I hardly break a sweat during my rides, perhaps due to the fat tyres offering more stability and the generous load capacity. I understand your point however and I'm sure your setup suits your riding style but I'm never in any rush to get to my destination and appreciate having the luxuries as well as the essentials on these rides.
