Once again you bless us with an uncomparable footage and story about the beauty of Norway. The way you travel seems so calm and stressless and I believe it is - as Banjo shows :-) I also like your traditional, classical equipment. Too many youtubers are rushing through the wilderness riding their ultralight 'spaceships' - you don't, and that gives so much... Thanks a lot and keep on beeing so natural!

Very nice place for cycling, very scenic. Always sad to see trees getting cut down. I also use XPro1 but seldom bring it on bike ride, I found it to be rather heavy to be slung over shoulder when riding. Yes I do like the picture from XPro1 but I think a Ricoh GR iii would be perfect to carry on a bike ride. Much like you I also started learning on a FM2 a long while ago. Several of your shots are spectacular.

Your videos are truly inspiring! Subscribe here for sure. I went and took a bicycle frame building class in the smoky mountains here in America abut a year and a half ago. Right after that my very young mother passed away unexpectedly. That added with a new work project that required me to travel and take all of my time pulled me away from, well me. Coping with grief by putting yourself into work is not a healthy recipe for your soul. I am doing the work to become the best version of myself now and am in a better, healthier place. One of the best things for me has always been getting on the bike and doing what i call a moving meditation. Its so healing. I am the same age as you and resonate with connecting with your younger self, a purer self, that original spark. I have always had a connection to bicycles and still ride everything from 90's mountain bikes, gravel grombers, and single speed cruisers. Your videos have helped give me validation and rekindled that need for creation and invention. To go dust of that bicycle jig and start following that kid i see when i stare back in the mirror says to do....... follow that fire, blow on the kindle, encourage and support myself, and create a suntanning warm fire of contentment in knowing I'm following what I was fortunate enough to be given this life experience to do. I tell you this because I see that spark in you and your magnificent story telling.. Keep following your heart sir, it has served you well, my rad 13 year old self high fives yours! One more thing, if you did read this far, what brand of boots are you wearing? I like to dress more casual when I ride and those boots look nice and soft. Thank you for your time and be blessed.

Thank you so much for your touching comment, Mathew, I really appreciate it! Not only were your words moving, but also very eloquently put. I can very much relate with what you write. The boots are the Fåborg model from the danish shoe company Duckfeet. If you look at their homepage, you’ll quickly realize why they are called duckfeet. The sole is rather hard, so I find them good for bikepacking/-touring. My inner sixteen year old high fives back!

I appreciate your concern regarding Banjo! 😊 As far as I can tell, our setup is size wise rather similar to John’s setup with Mira if you consider the size differences between the two dogs. Banjo is built very different from Mira and cannot run for long distances. Instead, we stop more or less regularly to let him down to sniff and do his dog things. I have tried to have him running next to the bike using a special dog leash setup, but he pulls to hard for his own good, so I have had to abandon it to save his joints.
