Hey, I'm Karl and I am traveling all over the world by Bicycle! I hope to use this channel to promote human powered adventure, as well as share things that I find interesting and important.
My first intro to the touring life was in 2009 when I decided to skateboard 150 miles between the cites of Minneapolis and Duluth in my home state of Minnesota. Since then I've moved on to a more efficient means of travel. I have ridden the dirt trails of South America, North America, Asia, and Eastern Europe. I hope to use my youTube channel as a place to post recent and future travels.

Bike Touring Stoke Fest! - Bikepacking South America w/ Jace Fuller
I first met Jace Fuller [IG fuller.jace] in Huarez, Peru. Our second time meeting was 6,373.28 mi away in Coldfoot, Alaska a census designated place with a booming population of 10. This is as I pedal south to reach Central America, Jace made sure I had a warm/dry place to rest for the night and that I was well fed, gracias amigo! I sprung this interview on him after having a ton of a great conversation while I demolished the buffet at the Coldfoot Cafe and realized we could give some some personal insight into what touring was like at the beginning of the pandemic. We also hear some fun stories from Jace to spread the touring stoke and he gets me excited for Mexico and Central America! Basically we just rant about cycle touring and spread stoke! 🤟🍻🚲

Thanks Guys I really Enjoyed your Video I an Now in my seventies And will never ride my bike in these Mountains so thanks for the Ride.
Pretty cool setup. Ya I have shock forks and was dreading tossing them just to get better water bottle/bag space. Easy solution with tape, kind of ruins the look of the bike, but after 1000s of miles that should be the least of worries. Great video.
Hi from Kazakhstan
Hey Karl, just finished re-watching all the TJN videos again. Do you have footage of the rest of the trip(s)? Would you ever continue the video series? Either way, I've really enjoyed all your videos, so thanks!
For trips like these, it would be nice to bring some candy etc from your own country to give to kids like the little ones ye met here. Imagine what reaction they'd have and how they'd likely always remember the cyclist who gave them sweets
I found that the phone sized solar chargers are crap. I don't think it would work on your lighter weight setup but I use the bigblue 28W foldable panel across my back rack/panniers when riding & outside my tent on days off. It has been working great for charging my battery pack which I use to charge my lights & phone. I have the same Nitrider light & Copper Spur tent(1p) as you. I used to use a Triangia alcohol stove but switched to the MSR Dragonfly. You've got a nice setup.
Serenity Brother!!!!
Hola, Como fijaste esas botellas en la rueda delantera?
Subscribed! I dig your style! Best to you comrade!
Hi Karl, today we had encounter on your way to northern Kenya... Nice meeting you brother
Das nenn ich mal ein ordentlich gepacktes Fahrrad... oder wie sagte meine Großmutter: "wer die Ordnung liebt ist nur zu faul zum Suchen". Meine Freundin Brunhilde sagt allerdings: ...mit einem so gepackten Fahrrad würde ich noch nicht mal nachts bei absoluter Dunkelheit fahren, es könnte mich ja doch einer sehen...
Nice
Which rear rack do you use ? :)
I'm wondering that too...not sure which one I should get.
why do you use drop bars (i think theyre called that) instead of straight bars, cause i just brought my first bike for bikepacking (it has drop bars) and im paranoid that i chose the wrong bars
Hey Carl. I have a question. How do you manage without fenders? When traveling
Great adventure and looks like such an awesome trip!! Well done. - I'm heading to Kyrgyzstan in a couple weeks to ride the Tian Shan Traverse, wondering what sort of foods you're able to buy in the Yurt camps along the routes etc.
Baeg
Thanks for this amazing vidéo ! A question : was it easy to find gas station to buy fuel for your stove ? I still wonder if I take my stove or not for the Divide
How did you manage to put more stuff in/on your Bike then most can put in a Truck
Love it, amigo. And I can confirm that bears don’t like bananas. 🤣Keep the rad spirit and adventuring. Dirtbags unite! 😋
What kind of tyres do you use? How wide? 2.2"?
Great set-up. I can watch videos of people showing what's in their bags all day and never get bored. 😂
hola donde dejaste la bici para ir a la base de las torres?
Give me a rear rack and that old school handlebar bag any day of the week over new bikepacking gear.
Simple is good. Take what you need and leave the rest at home. As of 2022 all auto fuel in the world is now lead free and usable in camp stoves. Your waterproof orange bag makes a real good washing machine. An alternative to a suspension fork is to run your heavy-duty touring tires softer.
Listening from Hungary…. Awesome!!! If you ever come back be sure to spend some time! We even have bikepacking events like Hungarian Divide and Balaton Bike Derby now.
Thanks! Will do!
Lol you legend
subbed, great content. Thank you.
Awesome, thank you!
I'm just curious how you deal with all those bags and bicycle when you want to travel via airplane.
The bike gets taken apart and put in a box, bags become my luggage with extras going in with the bike. Always interesting but generally works out.
@@KarlKroll im guessing small toolset and some bike mechanics skills are a must. You can buy box on airport or just some city shops? Or you have your own?
GOOD
You're not carrying a first aid kit? Is only ibuprofen really enough? I really hope so.
This looks like a lot of fun. I get excited just riding 50km after dinner would love to head off like this one day 👍
Go for it!
Currently planning a bikepacking trip from Barcelona to Bakú for 4-5 months, so videos like these do come in handy. Thanks for the ideas!
good luck i wish i could do something like this
That sounds like an awesome trip, Glad the video was helpful!
Beautiful, what months were you cycling this route?
This video gave me so much needed fresh air. l'm very sad l had to move to DC (wife's job) and my beloved Scandinavian Arctic Circle regions are so far away now (flying to Buffin Island to meet similar conditions is quite expensive). l can see BWCA may be an alternative playground (not even close to be as harsh, but it'll do alright for the time being). Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed the video! and yes BWCA is a wonderful playground and basically no one there in winter!
what handle bar u used? thanks
it is just a standard salsa flatbar. Sorry I don't remember the width offhand
Hi, did you enter from El Chaltén in Argentina? If yes, how easy was it to get information on when the ferry is leaving when you were in El Chaltén?
hey there! I did, and at this time there really wasn't good information. I have a separate video about that part of the trip
What is the name of your fire system? You use benzin or diesyfor that? I. Trying to find something but i can't
it is a MSR whisperlite. I use petrol (gasoline) but white gas also works.
Great! I missed foot protection 😀
Next time! 😅
I like Kyrgyzstan🇰🇬🇰🇬🇰🇬🇰🇬🇰🇬🇰🇬🇰🇬🇰🇬🇰🇬🇰🇬🇰🇬🇰🇬🇰🇬 welcome to Kyrgyzstan
thank you! I want to go back!
Hey Karl I am thinking about doing the tour decide this summer and I was wondering about the water situation I was thing of carrying two letters of water is this not enough?
Hey Tucker, In my experience there is water available a couple times per day for the majority of the GDMBR. The great basin and New Mexico are the two outliers. I think best to join some Facebook groups for the route and get up to date information for those sections for when you ride. I think I carried ~2.5 L for the majority and then a little bit extra for the dry sections.
I envy your adventures
lots of adventures to be had out there, just have to make it a priority!
hi no solar on dynamo? what about pedalcell? what rear rack do you have now? oldman divide regular or the new musa? what rack in the video? thank and ride safe.. thank you
Hi Ilan I have tried the pedalcell but it didn't work for me. I use a Old man mountain divide
@@KarlKroll no solar? just power banks?
Hieno pyörä.
Thanks for making this video. I am making the move for bikepacking.
Thanks for watching! Have fun!
Good info. Very realistic gear selection for the non-racer who wants a reasonable amount of comfort.
Glad it was helpful!
Impressive arrangement! Nothing but essential equipment. German SON dynamos has a very good reputation. Gloves are highly recommendable for protecting your hands, if crashing. Bon Voyage and stay safe ✌🏻
thanks for watching, happy trails!
Hi Karl, I Loved your bikepacking trip; however, you cannot make fire there. It is strictly forbidden. In 2011, an Israeli tourist burned about 17.000 hectares in the C.A., causing irreparable damage to wildlife.
Oh no! maybe it was different while I was there? this is from a few years ago. I would hope not to promote something against local regulations so please always respect local laws!
beautifuuuuulll amaziiiiinnnnggg thanks you
Thanks for watching!
For bear country camping best to use a portable electric fence. 2.4 lbs of small kit for huge peace of mind.
