Life On The Road in Japan Bikepacking

I've never cycled before. In fact, I've never done any long-distance trekking whatsoever. But riding a bicycle across Japan was on the bucket list, so here we are.

    Biking across Japan is a dream of mine, just the thought of choosing where to go, where to stay. Even the idea of getting lost is somewhat appealing. Amazing video and truly inspiring words!

    Thanks so much and I’m glad you enjoyed:) I agree, part of the fun is not having a full and thorough plan. I hope you can cross it off the bucket list!

    This was more informative than I was expecting, thank you! Did you really have no issues camping in the parks? That's good to know

    Glad you liked it! Yep! No issues. I did try to camp in less intrusive spots of course, and left early in the mornings.

    Is there a reason you decide on a tradational cycle touring setup rather than bikepacking setup ..

  • @fartherout

    @fartherout

    6 ай бұрын

    Since it was my first tour, I wasn’t certain what I personally needed and would want, and I think the traditional setup gave me more flexibility. Next time I’ll know what I need I think and would absolutely go for the backpacking setup! Not to mention a lighter bike

    Did you buy and transport your own bike set up to Japan? Or did you rent a whole bike set up to use once you got to Japan?

    Wayne! Hiya I took your advice for the previous couple videos and went for a longer form video. What do you think? Is short better?

    @@fartherout Your content is great. I don't know the KZread algorithms and I'm sure they change by the moment. I've heard they must be longer than 8 minutes to count for X. (Whatever X is.) I also have seen one automotive KZreadr with millions of subscribers who posts videos that are ten minutes and a few seconds. I'll admit, I am biased. I could listen to you talk about your journey for hours. I believe as long as you keep it interesting, people will watch. Hope this helps...somehow.

    Absolutely it helps I appreciate the input. I believe it needs to be 8 minutes to play mid roll ads, which are additional ads in the middle of the video to produce more revenue. But I have noticed the 10 minute videos and I’m not sure why. Something I’ll have to look into 🤔
