if a Lion rode a bike it would look like Sean...

"That day, for no particular reason, I decided to go for a little ride. So I rode to the end of the road. And when I got there, I thought maybe I'd ride to the end of town. And when I got there, I thought maybe I'd just ride across Green Bow County. And I figured since I rode this far, maybe I'd just ride across the great state of Alabama! And that's what I did: I rode clear across Alabama. No particular reason, I just kept on going. I rode clear to the ocean. And when I got there, I figured since I'd gone this far, might as well turn around, just keep on goin'. When I got to another ocean, I figured since I'd gone this far, might as well just turn back, keep right on goin'. When I got tired, I slept. When I got hungry, I ate. When I had to go, you know...I went." "And so...you just rode!" "...Yeah!"

Subscribed to both! I need more bikepacking channels! Thanks, lads.

my parents do a lot a cycle touring usually 1 or 2, 2 to 3 week trips a year and they go with the opposite approach. They don't really care about speed and have trailers. they just really enjoy cycling and seeing people. I did my own. trip a couple of years back and loaded up 2 paniers and a front box. and that was ideal in my eyes. enough comfert and enough speed. I guess what I'm saying is that there is no right formula, just get out and try a trip!

Was this a job interview cause Sean would make a great Endurance Channel presenter :D "Welcome to ECN"

An essential missed out would be a water filter, allows you to get water from streams.

I have an REI one somewhere in my earthquake kit. I lived outside for a year two different times and used it to drink out of a lake. They are quite small. One can also find some pretty decent drinking straws that are great filters just not designed to fill a pot or jug.

There should be regular episodes called "Where in the world is Sean Conway" where you all check in with him and see his latest adventures. He's a really good presenter and seems like he has been and will ride some pretty cool places.

GCN presenters bikepacking challenge! In the format similar to the commute challenge and top gear. That would be a great gcn episode.

Love seeing you guys talking about touring, I'm a more into bikepacking than I am straight up road bikes but I still watch all your content, so it's awesome seeing you guys talk about something a bit different :D

"Keep smiling adventures" is a great channel He rides all over the UK. I started watching bikepacking videos about 3 months ago, within 2 weeks I had arranged my 1st solo bikepacking trip. It was amazing already planning my next trip. If you haven't been bikepacking I would say plan, buy and then do it.

This is absolutely incredible! Well done GCN, keep up the great work, I watch every single day! Love the channel!

"We have solved many world problems,... and forgotten them on the next hill". Thanks. That was a great fun to hear. :)

Love this vid, more of Sean please, such a cool guy.

More interview stuff with these people. A GCN podcast with sean conway wouldve been amazing

that dudes smile is amazing. You can tell he is really happy.

I love this video.. Really inspires me to continue my adventure cycling this coming November..

So RAD! Great production, awesome tunes, and major stoke to get out and explore. Thanks

What an incredible chap.

Hats off to you Sir, proper touring beard and matching coloured frame, respect!! I'm just getting into touring and will be sharing my adventures on here. Great helpful video! Thanks all the best Andy

Great advice! Thanks for uploading!

Need more of this!!!

There are quite some moments when Simons face expression is absolutely priceless! Then again, cycling in Straya is most of the time warmer then in Northern Europe...

Si's expression for the entire episode is priceless.......Sean is a legend. Well done all.

good work GCN, what a top video with a top bloke, his books are well worth a read.

superb. many thanks.

Brilliant, what a lovely natural guy!

I never thought GCN would go bikepacking. Very cool. And I love the Brits answer to Forrest Gump too. Thanks for stepping out a bit GCN, well done.

This got me very excited to do my tour of the Catskills this July!

What a legend Sean is - inspirational

...this guy really shows how much we over think of what we need, I think the issue is cycling is big business and we get told ,,we need this or we need that. glad I came across this

Awesome, thanks Sean! (and Simon)

Si's face when he says mascot is f...g priceless. Nuts.

I have that same set-up on my bike. I have gone on many adventures on it. it's crazy how much you really need to travel.

Sean Conway is a fantastic speaker. Great video!

THIS GUYS BRILLIANT I RIDE WITH HIM ANYTIME AND IL LEARN LOADS OF HIM..THANK GCN

Lovely bloke and truly inspirational video!

Really like Raoul's suggesting for a GCN bikepacking special! Really interesting video and have to take my hat off to Sean, a very robust and resourceful man

Great interview! I'm pumped to do this!

Awesome vid! Thanks guys!

Never had any interest in bikepacking, but this guy made it sound easy and fun. Nice having such an engaging guest. May have to try this.

Nice suprise to see @Conway_Sean on the show, last saw him as he finished JOGLE, not on a bike but running

Really Nice! Something completely different for a change. And a great guy, he can have his own gcn adventure show!

I loved the video. Haven’t but can’t wait to go on my first bike packing trip. It’s actually something I’ve wanted to do life long. Earlier in life, I thought motorcycle, but it never happened. Now I know it’s a bicycle. Have considered a cargo trailer and this video shows maybe that isn’t the best idea. I need a trailer to carry packages to the post office. (I’m in e-commerce) thanks for another great video. Si, You’re the man! 🚲🚲🤙🏼✌🏼❤️

Loved the video. Thanks!

I am also a bikepacking addict & only last week I cycled from Suffolk to Yorkshire for 'Mike Halls' funeral where luckily enough I bumped into Sean myself. I'm glad you guys finally done a bikepacking video as people can enjoy the combination of cycling and camping when going a long way. if anybody would like to come bikepacking with me please leave a comment or message me, peace
