Bikepacking Wild Camping in the Winter Woods
It is something special to be out in the woods all by yourself. Absorbing the atmosphere and winding down from the hassles of life. Winter is slowly coming to an end but evenings can still be cold. It is somewhat of a different format than usual. A quiet vlog which I hope emphasises the tranquility of the experience. It was a fun experiment and a new way of approaching video making which I enjoyed quite a bit! I am very curious what you think? Do you like this style of video, what could be better, should I make more, other suggestions? Let me know down below 🙌🏼

yes its very nice with nature sounds, and not some crazy acdc number on full blast. that you hear in some videos.
How lovely the sounds coming out of silence ,as you cycle across the land ,how the vegetation crackles beaneath your feet , how the bark of the tree russles , fire talk and soft rain ,food being prepared . . . . .all a delight to ones ears . How gently you move across this delcious landscape . Thank you from England .

I love the place, so soft and benign, so different than here (Mendoza Andes) instead is the opposite, now in summer there are gusts, hail, 35°C during the day and under 0° at night. The terrain is all rocks and dust, the plants are cacti, thorns and spines. The sun is abrasive, no ozone layer. Anyway, your video is very good. I think you coul talk while doing things tell something about stealth camping or the things you use or your meal recipe some times. Best wishes

Thanks Guys! That is great to hear 😊 We will be back in videos together no doubt. It's a nice change of pace at the moment. Best wishes!!
It's Stealth-Eric. suddenly looking a bit more tactical. Perfect color scheme. My latest new things are trying millet instead of oatmeal, which is harder on your gut lining. (glyphosate here in USA) I love mug breakfasts like that. I even add coffee into the cereal. And peanut butter, if I have that. Good for 30 miles or so. I just got a Peruvian Alpaca wool hooded poncho and a camo military rain poncho, which might also double as a tent fly. That system is a bit bulky, but unbeatable for sitting around camp. Feels cozier. Gonna do a two nighter soon for trout. Onward.
@WheelstoWander

Nice Robert! That sounds like a good system. Being comfy in the cold is must! Never tried millet but I am stepping away from oats for the same reasons. Also I find the energy output is just mediocre for me. Love some peanut butter :) Happy fishing, Best!!

Thank God that the materialism that each and everyone of us has, sets us apart and reveal our uniqueness.

Hi Maudi & Eric, Jullie hebben al heel wat kilometers gefietst en altijd maar met ketting en derailleur, ik zie weinig dat jullie onderweg problemen hebben met dit systeem of reparatie's uitvoeren. Dus een goede keuze? Jullie hebben geen ervaring met de Rohloff of pinion? Vriendelijke groet Aad

Ja, we hebben er weinig problemen (knock on wood) mee gehad. Wel al een aantal keer de hele drivetrain moeten vervangen door slijtage. Ook vergt het best wat onderhoud onderweg. We hebben geen ervaring met die mooie systemen maar zijn wel nieuwsgierig ;.) Al met al een goede keuze als je zelf kan sleutelen of altijd een plek kan vinden waar ze dat voor je kunnen doen. Het ga je goed!

Arent you afraid of camping alone in the forest? On my trips i allways stay in campings or other places. I would like to be more free, but it feels a bit unsetling to stay like that in the woods.
