I’m your host, Chris Panasky, and today we’re diving into another round of Unpacking Bikepacking, a series where we ditch the polished narratives and get real about gear, grit, and the glorious chaos of bikepacking.Whether it’s the saddle that saved your soul or the mud puddle that swallowed your ego, we’re here to unpack it all. I’m joined once again by Carl Presseault, and trust me, we’ve got stories, hot takes, and maybe even a few questionable opinions to share.In this episode, we talk about gear that works, gear that hurts, and the rides that make you question your life choices—in the best way possible. Carl and I unpack our latest adventures, saddle experiments, folding bike debates, and the eternal search for the perfect route. It’s raw, real, and just the right amount of ridiculous. So, grab your coffee, clip in, and let’s roll into the wild world of bikepacking.To support the Bike Tour Adventures podcast, follow the links below:https://www.patreon.com/bikepackadventures orhttps://www.paypal.com/paypalme/bikepackadventures Join the RideWithGPS Bikepack Adventures ClubUse these affiliate links to help cover the costs of running the show.Redshift SportsPanorama CyclesFind them at:Instagram: Fork SauceFind me at…WEBSITEYOUTUBEFACEBOOKINSTAGRAMITUNESShow SponsorsPanorama Cycles --> They believe that cycling is a catalyst for adventures, no matter how small they can be.
