When she let her bike fall over on the gravel downhill and started picking the berries was hilarious! This was quite the adventure and a testament of willpower! What a trip!

No matter how it's done, you achieved a huge feat and a very difficult adventure! Not many people these days are willing to put themselves through this type of discomfort and also call it fun. Awesome video Yuka, you're tough as nails!

I've watched a bunch of bikepacking videos, and most are by people who are pretty hardcore. Watching your video makes these long trips look more feasible for people like me that get intimidated by the long days. The times you came short on your goal and kept up a good attitude is great to watch. You made it all look more fun, feasible, but manageable, unlike other videos that make it look like you have to keep mashing miles and have everything super dialed.

Did anyone else smile for 27 minutes straight? Yuka is so amazing!

2:34 you’re only one hour into the journey and I am only 2 1/2 minutes into your video and I’m already so psyched for you. It’s awesome that you did this with The Gear that you have. So many people and so many companies are so fixated on just selling more and more stuff. ERIC is a lucky man. Your energy is awesome.

Your determination to push yourself is admirable. It's a great example for us women to follow and I appreciate that you show the good, bad, and ugly. Not everything in life goes according to plan and you were able to adjust and overcome obstacles along the way that so many people would have just given up. I commend you on this wonderful, difficult adventure! You're a true inspiration!

I just love coming along for your adventures, Yuka. I love your positive spirit and your sense of humor.

Whew!! I'm soooo glad that you didn't run into any snakes or river crossings. 🤣 But seriously, you're determination is off the charts!! That was a truly hellish trail and you finished it with a smile still on your face. Awesome job Yuka! Much respect! 👍👊

You’re ballzy for riding that trail by yourself! Mad props!

I love Yuka's sunny disposition in the face of challenges that make us want to cry.

Brilliant video!!! You captured the highs and lows of bike touring so well!! Beautifully done. Thank you!

One of the most delightful commentaries on a bike adventure I've ever heard. You are such a lovely positive person.

She, herself is an inspiration. Her positivity is an inspiration. Thank you

Your perseverance and attitude when faced with all the difficult situations is amazing and inspiring! Thank You Yuka

Just can't believe what I just watched, that's far more brutal than I could have imagined, the whole video I'm just watching in amazement and awe of your determination and grit, I could never do something like this, Yuka is truly special.

You're such an amazing person Yuka. I wish I had half your skill and sense of adventure. Thanks so much for the great videos, it helps so much with my life.

Yuka i'm really impressed about your power, energy and on how much is strong your mind, this is a journey that a day i will try to do, take ten importants things and start a trip of multiple days on my bike, but i know that my body have not all that power and know i'm dreaming with this video, you're the best 💪🏻 love from italy 👋🏻

Yuka, you have great spirit that helped you go through this amazing journey! Much respect to you and wish you more adventures! Looking forward to watching more videos!

A grand effort Yuka, dealing with challanges like a champ 😀 that trail looks hard , sceanic and rewarding 🤙

Well done!!! As a bikepacker I know how hard this was, congratulations. Can’t wait to check out your next adventure.

Truly epic video! I love your channel. you are one of the only mountainlike channels I sub to because you mix a vlog with mountain biking, also gear reviews, and comedy. Keep of the great work.

I gota say, I have respect for you doing this ride solo. That's really impressive.

Hell of a journey! Well done and thanks for the inspiration! You and Eric have been making great content down there!

6'-5", 200lb of caffeine-driven attitude but when it comes down to it I'm too much of a fraidy cat to attempt this. Hats off to you, Yuka.

Great video Yuka. Your spirit always makes me smile. What an incredible achievement.

This was so uplifting and inspiring! And you managed to make it event funny and so pleasant to watch. Just discovered your channel and from now on I am so happy to follow your adventures! Love your content! Thank you! And congrats for this amazing trail you did! 🎉🎉🎉 It was truly a challenge 😯

Her voice and narration, shear enjoyment and a pleasure to listen to more than once.

Your solo adventure are fun to watch. You are brave!

Love this, your positivity and attitude is infectious.

So humble yet so AWESOME!! Thank you for sharing, for being so positive, and always inspiring.

This is great! We shared it on our weekly Debrief roundup

Yuka san, i recommend using the Topeak Tetrarack M2 (front and rear). I have these mounted on my Trek Rail 7 full suspension eMTB. Works great and doesn't interfere with the suspension. 😊 We have been doing similar trips like yours without issues. We use the pannier bags MTX EXP as well. Good design. You just need to make sure the lock does not unhook. We latch it down with extra strap. For better comfort you can consider towing an offroad trailer. With suspension they cope surprisingly well. Also if you are crossing rivers frequently, for waist level crossing you can get a waterproof fishing waders pants and boots. It is easy to slip on and will keep you dry and warm.

Great ride Yuka! Thanks for sharing your epic journey! You never cease to amaze me with your determination in overcoming difficulties in your path. Thank you again!!

Missie, you are a brave woman. I was afraid you were going to get bit by an animal, drown or get hopelessly lost. That looked like the trail from hell to me. Congratulations, you made it.

That was an amazing adventure and you did it on an Enduro bike, what an amazing accomplishment.

Eric has a jewel 💎 in Yuka don’t know any Woman that would attempt this let along complete this journey. Love the channel and the heart with the lessons learned. Thanks

appreciated to see someone enjoy the trip so much ~

We rode the Tassie Trail a couple of years ago while cycling around Australia and had a great time. Unfortunately we didn't get to ride the singletrack, but stopped in at Derby on our way back to Devonport. We also didn't take the goat track up to the Plateau like you did and went up the road from Poatina, which was really peaceful with very little traffic. Great work making it though there - it's got a reputation! You can get the keys to those locked gates from the Trail association, but you need to return them back to where you got them from or lose the hefty deposit that you left for them. We didn't know if we were going to be able to get back there on our tour, so we didn't get the keys either. There are many times on a long tour where all the panniers need to come off the bike in order to pass a gate etc... 😅 That Tassie weather can be unforgiving! Thankfully we were luckier than you and managed to be indoors for the couple of storms that came through during our time there. We made some videos about it too, but they aren't as dramatic as yours! Fantastic work! p.s. That bird was a Kookaburra 😁

Super human effort to not breakdown and give up! Really impressed by your accomplishment.

Great job, Yuka! You are quite the gusty bikepacker! You are my new hero because I would love to complete a bikepacking tour like this one! Congratulations! 🤜🤛

big respect from Slovakia,your solo missions are perfect

I hope you can go on more bikepacking adventures after having learned from this experience. Keep on inspiring.

Of all the videos you have made, I enjoyed this one the most. Well Done!!!

Wow, that was an amazing adventure. Congratulations on going the whole distance. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Wow well done what an epic adventure, thanks for taking us along 😊

You are a tough little bugger! Kudos, and major props to that adventure!

thanks for another excellent adventure video. You did very well on your first multi-day adventure. You have what it takes to do whatever you set your mind to do.

This was a smashing tourist video. Loved it. So much fun.

What a wonderful experience. Thank you for sharing it with us!

LOL that "i shouldve just rented the bike while looking at the camera @ 8:48 really got me

Thank you Yuka for sharing the awesome adventure! Love it all!

Subscribed! This made me realize that ordinary people like me can do this. You are an inspiration!

Awesome video Yuka. A great effort doing that trip too, especially solo.

I doff my cap to you for your tenacity, skill and good humour. Thank you for sharing your experience 👍

Yuka-n do it!! No matter how big the challenge is you seem to plow through it !! You are an inspiration 🙏 Great work Yuka ❤

I can feel the struggle. but it was blast to watch. thank you for taking us on this trip! ride safe!

Amazing! What an adventure. Nice work Yuka, looks like that took a helluva an effort.

This video was incredible :) Gave me so many good memories of my ride on this trail back in 2019, thanks for sharing !

KZfaq recommended me this video so I was not sure what to expect. I'm so glad I did! It's the perfect start to my Friday morning. 😁 Thank you for sharing such an amazing journey!

How fitting for this to show up right as I'm trying to decide between full suspension or hardtail bike for doing singletrack and maybe some bikepacking, hah. That looked brutal. But congrats on finishing the whole thing all the same! Really inspiring, I think I'll go for something a bit lighter and easier to carry around, but seeing you lug that heavy full suspension bike up some of those mountains also gives me more confidence that even the "wrong" bike for the task can work if you're determined enough. :D

this was amazing i just kept cheering you on!!

What a courageous & spirited woman. More power to you. May the road ahead continue to be exciting, wild & adventurous & always be completed with your safe passage home.

Congratulations! That is an incredible journey! You have so much grit and determination! It’s truly inspiring!

Absolutely FANTASTIC!!! Rt Shoulder ROTATOR CUFF SURGERY yesterday from Southern Thailand Singletrack - I know you understand Yuka, except I am 71yrs and hate sitting!!!!! BUT I am enjoying your crazyness! 🤪

Well done! What an exciting adventure and video documentation!

13:18 one of the funniest. I thought she would go for the bike but picked black berries. 🤣 She can find happiness in the saddest moment.

I didn't know what beautiful scenery Tasmania had! So I'm surprised that this island looks like heaven for MTB people! Then you've achieved a really great challenge! I found your channel recently, and I'm watching your past videos. The beautiful Canadian mountains and cool bikes. Please continue MTB and have a great journey with your husband. From Japan. 頑張ってください！

Tasmania has Antarctica as one of it's direct neighbours, so it gets cold and wild. Even the belly of the mainland cops some crazy weather off the pole.

This grandma is living her best life

Love your stuff Yuka! Been watching for years. These little adventures are really fun to see. I would love to see an adventure motorcycle ride in the future. I know that's not what this channel is really about but I think you guys would really be good at it.

Great work Yuka - very well done. That Horrendous climb that you endured was the result of some horrendous weather we had last year - it washed roads away in that area, so no surprise that the track you took was in bad shape. But it did give you an interesting story to tell

Wow. That was impressive. I’m not even ready for half of that.

This is so wholesome! Well done such a gret watch

You know you're a boss when the only helmet you have is a full face 😅👍 GO YUKAAAAA

That's totally the wrong bike for that trip lol you're grit and determination however were spot on 😂

I just was listening to you on this video as I was driving about town. I was not watching it, instead, keeping my eyes on the road. But, just listening to you was very entertaining! Listening to a Japanese speaker out gravel biking in Tasmania is great! I am a former host father to29 Japanese exchange student over the years. And, just listening to you, reminded me of them! Although, your grasp of the English language is way better! Keep up the great videos, I will be Watching more of the ones you’ve already posted.

I thought of going bikepacking but I also wouldn't be able to resist any good trails. You sure had a lot of patience with so many obstacles!

Your grit and determination is fantastic, such a triumph well done

Young lady that's how I do my bikepacking 15L Seat bag with dropper post A 25L stuff sack on my handlebars with an additional 5L over top of that for my camera gear lenses and a few odds and ends same as what you have on your video just slightly different And since you use a tent My choice is a hammock and tarp Another awesome video you gave us

Yuka- one of the best videos I have ever seen. You are such a badazz taking on that mission like it was a walk in the park. I hope Eric knows how lucky he is and stay awesome girl---

So cool! I just took up bikepacking last fall, my first few trips were on the bike I had, which worked fine, but had limitations. This winter I picked up a rigid MTB (Surly Karate Monkey) which fits a similar niche to a gravel bike with a flat bar (easier to fit a roll), and has braze ons for racks and fork cages and can carry a ton of stuff without a fuss. Getting ready to head out this spring on it! Cool adventure you had!

resilience and perseverance! always positive, looking for a solution to every problem. Salute Yuka!

You need to visit Western Australia and do the Munda Bidi trail next. It's 1000K's and runs from Perth to Albany, but probably a lot easier riding than Tasmania. No mountains to conquer, just a few hills, but some sweet single track through the native forests. Definitely a bucket list item for me. Also, well done on conquering that trail. Those hike a bike sections!😱Your determination is pretty inspiring🤘🙌

Keep exploring Yuka, your videos are very inspiring! Be safe out there.

Yuka, I think that you are brave and determined woman. The trip that you made looked humbling in it's difficulty. And it was probably harder in person than on the video. I applaud your efforts and determination. Impressive!!

pretty cool. discovered this channel just now and its been pretty cool. as a road biker, this is a dream.

Great adventure Yuka!. Your determination to push forward is inspiring 👍🏽💪🏽

What an amazing adventure! On your own accross the Tasman outback. Wow! Hooray for the shower. It occurred to me that when you camped under the overhang “cave”, you were at a spot that people may have used for 30K years. Your unpacking to go uphill made sense. It reminded me of my Grandfather’s story of the Chilkoot Pass and the Golden Steps up to the Klondike in 1898. Each prospector had to have 2,000 lbs. of supplies. To get up the steps and over the pass, all of it had to be broken up into 40 lb. Packs, up and down until everything was at the top. Fortunately there was a snow slide to get back down each trip. I greatly respect your effort. Thanks for taking us along.

I am watching your vlog for the first time. I am so impressed with your confidence and courage. Namaste to you.

Wow, you have so much grit and determination, Well done Yuka

Your perseverance and positive attitude are very inspirational. Great video.

Hugs from Brazil. I like MTB and nice landscapes.

Way to go!! Keep up the great videos, too. I so enjoyed watching this adventure!💞

Thanks for the laughs and the inspiration x

Wow! What an adventure Yuka! That's so amazing. I really enjoyed watching your video. This may be the longest one you've made so far! Well done!

as per usual, your videos have inspired me to do more. i mountain bike ride in central Australia and enjoyed ur vids for years. this makes me wanna explore even more of my country. wish u guys come to alice springs and ride our trails here

Yuka....this is my first view of your adventures....You have a remarkable spirit! A great Can-do attitude. You need to watch Ryan Van Duzer as he is an excellent Bike Packer for many years! One of his big advantages in the Priority 600X bike he rides. It has a rubber belt drive and enclosed 600% transmission. You can learn a lot from his adventures on KZfaq!

Yuma, you are such an inspiration, I wish I could adventure like you do!!

This is such a great adventure Yuka!! 😅😊 i love the animal noises, singing back to the kookaburra made me laugh! So many snags along the way, that trail is definitely not for the faint of heart

That's awesome, Yuka! You've come a long way with your videos... you've become so comfortable in front of the camera! Best video yet!
