Sounds nice. Most of my backcountry trips these days are backpacking, but I do have some backcountry bikepacking trips on the bucket list and have done a little of that already. I used to do some wilderness canoe camping as well.
For most of my on road bike touring, meeting the native folks, various transplants, and fellow roaming misfits is often a pretty big part of what my tours are about. Also sampling the various local cuisine is as well.
