Titanium Cooking Pot: Vargo BOT: bit.ly/45CwDsr
----We never thought we'd get so excited about a cooking pot. It doubles as 1 L water storage with a secure screw on lid (making dinner water math easier), can be strapped on the down tube (or fits in an Arundel Looney Bin), and the lid flips over to become a cooking pot.
Peak Designs Out Front Bike Mount: peak-design.pxf.io/GmKMdn
----Why did we waste so much of our lives with Quadlock!? There's a magnet that attracts the phone case (below) so all you have to do is get your phone somewhere near the right place and it grabs it. No more fiddling! Then the mount locks with the case -- it's so strong I have picked up the whole front end of my bike with just the phone.
Peak Designs Phone Cases: peak-design.pxf.io/g1OxXg
----Needed for the Peak Designs mount, but also just nice cases.
Stem Bag: Swift Industries Sidekick: bit.ly/3VpOBuC
----Doesn't suck like other stem pouches we've tried.
Ultralight Down Quilt: Katabatic Palisade 30*: bit.ly/40T1ezr
-----Y'all, this is the comfiest sleeping bag. Warm and the material is soft.

That route looked awesome. I love your sense of adventure.

Wow. Just wow. Your story telling and production quality just keeps getting better and better, while keeping your refreshing sense of wonder and joy in bike travel. Killer music too. What a gift!
-
I love your style of traveling, much attention to nature and so positive to each other. So beautiful nature, so calm people. I'm always aware of bears in such places though...

Mitchell, OR is the best bike-touring/packing town in the USA, hands down. Glad you guys passed through. Pat and Jalet are so amazing.

This was so enjoyable to watch , loved it .
-
Aww wow I love the scenery and the commentary. I'm so glad the two of you made it through and had loads of fun along the way. It doesn't matter how slow you go as long as you enjoy everything along the way and have real stories to tell and precious memories to keep forever. You are both real stars and two amazing people.

There were some really rough spots, but for the purpose of making a fantastic video to watch, you guys nailed it. I can't think of any other bike trip video I have seen this year that is near as good as this one.

Very cool! Love eastern OR

You guys are awesome.

Great description of those camping meal pouches! They’re lousy, and expensive to boot!
-
What a stunning route, well done for pushing through the snow.

Great video. Keep up the good work. All the best from Yorkshire UK 🚴🚴🚴

The interjecting, subtle "It wasn't." 😂 Sorry about your stuff. But, I enjoy when a video maker uses voiceover like that, every once in a while. It's kind of a way that I understand, as you were editing, reliving the "oops" moment. 😅 Thanks 👍🏻
-
"It smells like dog food" really cracked me up, hahaha🤣🤣🤣
-
Found your channel via your bike build video. That said, I enjoyed this video, looks like you had fun. Stay safe!

Lovely! Would have done the same to not eat mountain house a second night!

Way, way, way, way COOL! ❤ 🚲 ⛺
