Bikepacking overnighter - Pole Taiga fatbike, sauna & new trails | Taival Outdoors

Описание: In the scorching midsummer heat and chased by a swarm of bugs, I go bikepacking with a fatbike to Pihlajaniemi outdoor trails in Savonlinna, all geared up for an overnight adventure. But was it really an adventure since I had a good GPS trail to follow the whole time? I let you decide on that. Main purpose was to test out some bikepacking bags and see how Pole Taiga with front suspension handles the load and what kind of terrain I can conquer with this setup. I spend the night near Tervastupa and enjoy the sauna facilities - much recommended!

Taival Outdoors is a channel about the great outdoors, spending time in nature doing everything from day hikes and overnight adventures to bikepacking and multi-day wilderness backpacking. Trekking is close to my heart, but I’m not tied to any particular "genre" like ultralight or bushcraft – instead I do what I've found through my experience in the wild to work the best for me. I'm also making gear reviews and skill videos based on what I actually use and how I operate in nature. Thanks for watching!
