It's been a while since Blake's last great mountain bike packing adventure and this time we wanted to see if it's possible to get bike packing bags for under $50. On this adventure to the Jurassic, Coast Blake shares with us some of the local history, sights, and sounds from the saddle! 🤘

Reminds me of my first Bike Packing....It got dark, it rained, we were miserable, headed back down the hill, a huge tree for shelter, not good enough, headed into a property, no one home so made camp in there stables, almost asleep and Rats invaded our camp, so back on the bikes, 30km in rain to get home at 1am in the morning GRRRR

Well done for sticking to the plan that must have seemed a good idea a month ago. How much was the light packing sleeping bag and hammock? A bit more than 50 I guess?

@thsaintful Жыл бұрын

as a kiddo we went to a pebble beach in France and i also found a few fossils this way. that first one you got is quite nice! the bikepacking on a budget is a bit missleading though right, the 50$ is only for a few bags and straps.... all the rest not included

Gotta prep the years-old fatbike loaned to me to a volcano-side bikepacking trip, then. 😁 Though, I hope the heat index won't kill me -- I believe that's what nearly took Conor and Marcel's vibe out, when hitting some nasty climbs in February. What were the bags' content aside from the sleeping bag, Blake our lad? 😄 Asking for a little friend, who happened to watch along with me.

Sleeping in a barn? Hammocks need something to be attached to. Setting up in pouring rain is a pain. Stopping for tea and a bite to eat is non existent on many a trip, unless you carry everything yourself. However riding and walking through miserable conditions was well done. Overall the video was enjoyable. :)

@brandonfields5720 Жыл бұрын

The craziest parts about these videos to me, (as an American) is how you just casually go through gates. I guess public gates are a thing in the UK? Here, if you see a gate, you don't go through it or risk being shot and/or arrested for trespassing.

@brandonfields5720 Жыл бұрын

If you were bike packing in the US in 'the country' and you came along a cattle gate off the path (even if it has no signs) and you decide to go through it? Well, that's how people disappear, you will become bikenapped.

@stephenhill6003 Жыл бұрын

There are a lot of gates out West here in Idaho on BLM land. Usually they just ask that you close them back again. BUT, if I see one that's says "No Trespassing", I take it seriously.

A little disappointed. Had to sit through 10+ mins of complaining about the weather and cheating the experience by sleeping in a barn just to get to the subject of the channel and video: mtbs amd camping. I guess I was expecting more helpful info and a little less entertainment. Decent video though if you skip the first half.
