For extended trips into the backcountry, there’s no getting around the fact that you’ll have to carry life-sustaining supplies on your back. The choice of a BACKPACK with the internal frame is without a doubt the best choice, for many reasons: for one thing, they hold the weight of your load close to your body, making it easier to maintain your balance on uneven terrain. Also, internals provide stiffness and support, but they are not completely rigid, which makes them more flexible when you’re doing active sports. Internals also sport slimmer shapes that allow for more arm movement in all directions–another big plus for off-trail bushwhackers, skiers and climbers. Last but not least, internal frame packs offer a greater range of adjustability in the shoulder harness and hip-belt than external frame packs.
The Fox 75+1 0 is packed with features normally found only on more expensive backpacks. Equipped with a top-loading main compartment and a generous sleeping bag compartment, the Fox features two hide-away side pockets and an expandable front section. The shoulder strap height is adjustable, allowing this pack to accommodate a wider range of torso lengths. Its contoured shoulder, lumbar, and hip pads help ensure a comfortable trip. Includes attached rain fly and is hydration system ready.

This backpack offers superior comfort and flexibility …why not save yourself the headache of packing your old, stiff, external frame backpack that always bumps you in the wron spot?? Ism’t it time to replace that old equipment with more modern comfort and lots more mobility on your extended BACKPACkING wilderness trips.

No wilderness hiker is equipped without a compass and a good pair of gloves and hiking boots. There is something to be said for a GPS of course…..BUT , they can always run out of batteries! A good compass will always stand you in good stead and keep you on the right trails, especially if this is an orienteering compass.

First, its too late for any serious sponsorship or media attention if he’s leaving today. Most anyone who offers sponsorship should be approached well in advance, and with a very clear “product” to sell. The question is what do they get out of sponsoring you, and sadly what are the potential risks.

If he was riding to help raise awareness for an issue or illness then he would have plenty of help available, even at this late date. But I’ve read your dad’s page and while I admire his desire to get to know the world around him better, its really a personal triumph for him alone. That doesn’t do much to bring attention to a sponsors product or service. The other issue is risk. Lets say a company called Joe’s Bicycle Safety products agrees to sponsor him, and God forbid, anything should happen to him on the road. The potential negative attention could far outweigh any positive. For that reason alone, sponsorship is a delicate business.

To be even more blunt, nobody will give you cash. I’ve worked with world-class athletes and well-know companies. Everyone will give you product and signage, but cash is invisible and only available to the very best athletes with household names. Frankly, his best option is to scout out the local bike shops in the cities he plans stopping at, and schmooze. Long ago I worked at a bike shop in California and the owner and employees were good about hosting bicycle tourists. A warm shower and a washing machine are precious things on the road.

Wish him luck, and tell him to keep the rubber-side down.

So of all the people in Canada that were mauled by Grizzlys, I wonder how many wished they had a gun for protection?

Any questions?

It is actually not recommended that you carry any weapons while hiking. For most bears, they are more afraid of you. The best way to prevent bears from crossing your path is to make noise. If you're with someone, talk as much as possible. If you're by yourself, carry a bear bell or if you are annoyed by bear bells, just talk or sing out loud to yourself. Unless you go really remote into BC, you won't really find any bears near people. If you are going camping, you can find tips on line on how to protect food and whatnot while camping. Shooting a bear is just wrong my friend. You might actually get convicted for shooting a bear in some cases. If you do meet a bear, just stand tall and start shouting at it. DON'T RUN FROM THE BEAR. The bear is faster than you and will see you as prey if you start running. If you meet a bear, you have to pretend that you are the hunter. I would give you a .01% chance of actually meeting bears. Just don't shoot the bears, it is not beneficial for you or the bear.
