Big South Fork Bike Packing Trip

Thanks for the ride along a nice trip.

I am contemplating modifying my Vargo too but first test it more and more and more, just playing with the door cos it indeed needs air in there. Good thing with it, is it is just one piece and fold flat design.

Yep, left pedal hit a rock throwing me down with a solid hit to the helmet. I am replacing. Moral of story, buy a good helmet and wear it.

The quilt is just standard 1.0 ripstop. It is a 30* I have been testing and has become my favorite quilt. I do have some UL quilts on the sewing table

I have paddled the river a few times. It is a great 2 day trip with some great scenery.

I also liked the one piece design of the Vargo stove. Something I did not show in the video is that I can feed sticks thru the holes from all sides keeping a good even burn. I can also block some air the same way if needed
