- Bike touring and bikepacking folks share their gear setup.
Glacier National Park bridge jumps!
Then cycling on the Great Divide into Whitefish, Montana.
This is DAY 18 of my first bikepacking learn-as-I-go adventure!
31 Miles
In this episode I take a rest day at the Fishcreek Campground in Glacier National Park while meeting some cool bike touring and bikepacking folks who strolled in. Lots of laughs and interesting bike setups. Then bikepacking day 18 starts with some freezing bridge jumps into a gorgeous river and then a ride on the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route into Whitefish, MT campground where I am surprised seeing Tom & Lee from Bigfork, MT.

Don't worry too much about the editing. I'm really enjoying your journey and the stories you're capturing.
Awe - thank you Bil!! That gives me comfort!
Don't know what I'm going to do when your bike trip is done. Keep the video's coming.
You say the sweetest things! 🤗
Such a lovely woman with a lovely mood,, i adore you for these biking roads and camps ,, greetings from Iraqi biker.
“Iraqi”!!!! WOW! That’s truly special having you along for my trip! I appreciate your kind words!
Love the James Bond look in the bathroom😍 Great video as always !
“James Bond” HA!!
I enjoy and look fwd to yer videos very much!
YAY! Thank you! 🤗
That segment had a beautiful campground. Flashdance?🔥Hell yeah! All the hot 🔥water you want? PRICELESS!!! Whitefish sounds like a cool little place to live 😎
Its great you bumped into some old friends and met some new friends. Great journey, its beautiful up that way. catch you on the road. 900 Subscribers - Boo Ya.
“Boo ya” 🤣👏
You look younger and younger with each posting. Love your videos. So real and honest in delivery. Love my Rockbros stuff too. Waterproof, affordable, light and easy to use. You can keep the train lol
Hahaha! Well that's because I'm getting tanner and tanner which shadows the wrinkles. But thank you kindly for your flattery and words of inspiration! I'll TAKE IT! 🤗 YAY Rockbros!
Ah but you do. Its not just the tan, it must be the freedom and fresh air. We all feel better and probably look better once out from behind the desk and away from the anchors of daily life. 😬. And wrinkles are just lines of experience. A visual wisdom.
“Lines of experience” I like that!!
The groupies are back! LOL!
I had a similar thing happen with a campground shower. Some friends and I were staying at a campground near Crater Lake NP. The showers there were also coin-operated. One night I went to shower and a guy who was leaving the restroom/shower informed me of one shower stall that seemed to just turn on without coins. Needless to say, but I had a great shower that night! Hahaha!!
ps. "You have nothing to fear but the fear of missing out" is a phrase I'm gonna have to keep in my back pocket! LOLOLOL!!!
So you can certainly appreciate how WONDERFUL it feels! "Groupies" HA! I have one "Grouper" who subscribed to dislike my vids but looking today it appears CZcams is not showing dislikes. I think it's in the testing faze.
@@HumanontheLoose well, there's always 'someone' that has to spread their own discontent 🤦♂️.
The Road Not Taken
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
Robert Frost
Thank you for sharing 🙏
your journey 🏞️🌄🌻

Awesome post as always!
I so enjoy your conversations with other travelers. It gives me comfort to know there are so many wonderful people on your journey. YES, TOM AND LEE!! I think they are following you. 🤣 ❤
YAY! Ineeed there are! Yes they did! Weird to have followers in front of me! 🤪
Hi Naomi! I'm the same fellow as "Bob Cochran" on Strava. I'm so glad that I found your channel! Enjoy your travels, I will start watching your episodes.
YAY! It's Bob! Great - I hope you enjoy them!
Little did I understand if anything about BikePackers when I first watched the first video awhile ago. I assume you just jumped on any bike and started riding down a road. Little did I know how much planning and science goes into this activity. I was surprised to see the boxes packed with food and supplies you pre-ship to locations along the route you planned in advanced to ride. I am so glad I found your channel and have learned so much by watching all the videos, including these videos on reviews of the bike and accessories, the food organization, and the thoughts behind the routes and destination points along the way, especially the rest days, shower stops, and re-provision. I'm looking forward to the whole new season or next trip, including all the evaluation and planning for the event. You ROCK this stuff. I'm now finding CZcams bumping up other biker packers to follow. I just found another solo female in Europe who looks, talks and thinks just like you .. but not as much "rambling" narration but that's sort of what makes you special, its part of your own "brand". I have a strong feeling you're going to garnish a few thousand Patreon supporters and will make this a super profitable channel for you. More power to you .. girl on wheels !!!
What a truly wonderful review! You’re being SO helpful and encouraging to me in keeping this channel alive! One subscriber used the term “mind streaming” - an accurate assessment because rambling is when you say things that don’t make sense and everything I say makes sense. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I’m a reeeeally long way from a subscriber supported channel but I appreciate your optimism. Thank you for all your kind words!
Yep, showers and flush toilets. Just decadent. And thrilling at the right moment. The Euro couple were amazing and give us a great look at bike touring versus the harried bike packer. I love your conversations with other travelers. That one campground had close to the world of bike travel except some more women. Like you. My scattered focus is just getting my winter riding and commuting up and going.
Happy to hear you appreciated hearing from them! Thank you for your kind words!
Camped there before and totally agree with you about the trains we weee right below the track
Yikes! We’re you able to sleep?
An outstanding way to travel. You feel healthy. You meet good people. You have a great time. Try to keep a regular habit of fresh fruits and vegetables. The tinfoil food and other junk foods will bite you in your vital parts If you use it for a very long time.
That's called, "Rolling Coal". They usually have a tuner on the truck and can change the tune where it changes how much diesel is injected, causing a huge amount of black smoke. Happens to alot of cyclists
Sadly, a teenager did that in Texas (search for Waller county) and hit six bicyclists in the process.
Yikes!
Ahh… they reversed the wording which makes sense. The “tuner” info you shared is really interesting. Now I’m going to have to go search CZcams videos to find with that actually looks like.
It is an anti-environmental thing. Yep they modify their diesel trucks so that they can hit a switch and dump more fuel into the engine and produce partly combusted fuel, hence the black smoke. Where I am from it is illegal to modify a vehicle to make it less fuel efficient, but it still happens. It happened to me this fall whilst riding the Farmer's Folly. Locally a cyclist had a video camera going when they got blasted with the fumes. They took the video to the police, they charged the guy. Half ton assholes!
That’s fascinating. I wonder how many people know about this tactic.
Hey Naomi, I'm baaaaack from being up in the Mountains of NH and now I can watch your videos again. I've missed watching them. This one is another winner. The guy cooking at the campsite? I can relate because I'm the same way. Gotta fuel the body with good food, and junk for desert. Lol. And that's a really nice campground. And your Flash Dance outfit looked comfy!! Lol. Thanks for posting your adventures, I am enjoying catching up. Be well.
Hey! Hey! Welcome back and thanks for watching! 👏 I admire the “cookers” while I’ll stick with lazy! 🤪 Happy you are enjoying them!
@@HumanontheLoose P.S. I hope you had a great Thanksgiving. I was up in the very Northern tip of N.H. I couldn't even text or call anyone never mind go online to watch your videos. I did get some excellent riding in though. You inspire me!! Enjoy your day.🌹
Thanksgiving is just another day to me. Sounds like a nice way to spend it - being thankful for yourself! 🤪🤣🥂Awe - that’s really nice to hear! Thank you!
@@HumanontheLoose I had a feeling you felt that way. It's not a big deal to me either but it was nice seeing my Cousin. Other than that it was a chance to ride in a new place. By the way I don't always cook like a maniac, lots of times I take your method. Besides being easier there is no clean up!! Lol
Hi there Naomi !! Just subscribed to your channel I have been watching your videos on the television via "CZcams". Myself and hubby ride little Brompton folding bikes but we enjoy any cycling videos that explore the outside. We watch Paths less Pedalled and Henry Wildberry. Keep em coming and stay safe !! Love from England xx
ALL THE WAY FROM ENGLAND!! 👏 I'm truly honored to have you along for the ride and thank you for sharing your thoughts. My favorite part of having this channel. Folding bikes - how cool is THAT?!! I'm going to go look them up. Maybe that's my future....
@@HumanontheLoose You'll spend a lot of your time explaining to people how they fold and ride. If you want a more in depth view of the the Brompton watch "Chris by bike" on CZcams. Stay Safe!! xx
There she is 👋 have you read book or seen the the movie wild? Worth a watch or a read. You may enjoy it
I watched the film but to be honest - I feel she was an idiot. It’s one thing to be new at something but she didn’t even try to be educated at the beginning. How’ are you feeling these days?
@@HumanontheLoose haha well she did do a lot of dumb shit 😂. I’m alive and kicking…getting better each day. Thanks for asking
I appreciate your meal planning. It’s more challenging to cook fancy for one.
I have been meaning to ask how your saddle worked. Any complaints?
True - and not as fun! My Selle Anatomica was brutal for the first two weeks but that was my fault for not breaking the leather in first. Then I loved it. I’d say it needed 600 miles to form to my body properly.
Ugh !!! I used to live near train tracks and I couldn't sleep at all. First responder in me had doomsday scenarios everytime I woke up ! Safe travels but did you tell us how the pizza actually was??
Yikes! Did you just watch the last 30 seconds? 🤣🤣🤣 I don’t remember because I have a feeling I never tasted it and just threw it down my throat.
Indoor plumbing is such a luxury. Mmmm hot shower. 🤤
There is that good looking. Attractive, well-built, active human all the loose.
