    I had some time to edit these in a bnb yesterday so I'm posting them here as well. This is day 11 and 12 of the tour. I'm already on day 22 so I'm a bit behind on editing.

    Video First 10 days of my folding bike tour in the EU.

    I did an equipment post and a bike post. Now I'm here in the Netherlands doing the actual adventure travel part. This video might be a little vacation and a bit less travel but given that I'm posting this from a sand dune camp in south Holland it's only going to get more exciting from here.

    Video Folding Bike Touring-An Old Bike For A New Adventure.

    Almost a year ago now I managed to find an old Bike-Friday touring bike on ebay. I actually won the auction while I was on a backpacking trip so that was a bit touch and go.

    Best cooking pot?

    Ive had a lot of luck with the MSR titan tea kettle. I cooked out of one for a good 6 months non stop in 2017 and it worked out for me. That being said its expensive and the largest one they sell is no where near that big. If you want something small light and cheep that you can use for real...

    Question Do you guys find that the bike is too much of an issue for stealth camping/trainhopping etc?

    I have never hopped a train at all yet alone with a bike. I have however taken my bike on Amtrak a few times before. It's important to have a look into the train lines your taking before you buy your tickets. A lot of the trains on the east coast have a very nice onboard bike system the...

    If you had to live on a bike the rest of your life?

    When I thought I would just have one bike, I went with a surly ogre. I ride it quite a lot under a lot of different conditions. Surly really makes a fantastic frame. The big draw of the older models of ogre and troll for me was the component compatibility. They could fit any style of drive...
