Bikepacking & Touring Valles Caldera

Hey folks. I wanted to share this video with all the bike nomads here. I hope you all enjoy. Feel free to ask questions about gear and route. I'm happy to give advice to anyone who's looking to take this on.

Thanks for sharing! Seeing stuff like this makes me want to transition into bike packing. I'd be nice to tour where I never have to hear any motor vehicles.

Thanks for checking it out. Yeah, I tour on road too and when I began going offroad (Bikepacking) it changes things up a bit. The isolation was a bit weird to get used to but all in all I love it.

Wow. The isolation and not having access to reliable water and food sources would really freak me out. Great job on the ride; you've got a bigger set than I do. And the video production, especially the feel of the music, was outstanding. What did you use for a GPS? Did you have one? If not, how did you know where you were and which way to go at forks in the paths?
