It’s twitch.tv/nitch. Ready to see what happens today. [Music] All right, good morning. Welcome to day 18 of our bike tour. Anyway, welcome to my tent. It’s my tent that we sung a sad song for. So, it had to be retired. And it does have to be retired. We’re just stretching it until we can get something else. I haven’t heard back from Tanya. So, I don’t know when my Canadian tent will ever arrive. But anyway, um we already had a viewer come by and bring me some food. So, I got some snacks. I got some chocolate milk and got some water. Life’s good. Seems like we avoided the wind. Yeah, there was no wind. And like now that the sun’s shining through here, it is toasty in here. It’s not that warm outside. Is 14°. But in here, it’s a sauna. Start packing. Yeah, I was like sleeping all comfortable here and then at 5:00 a.m. So, I got up and checked my phone. Someone just like pulled up here and like decided to like fish right next to my tent for just a little while. Like, what are they doing? I hear them walking around and I hear like that casting line plunk. Couldn’t choose a different spot. 5 a.m. It’s not something crazy that music. That would be even worse at 5 a.m. What are we doing? I get all tangled up this Okay. my speakers on the cooking class poor with the raid. Welcome to Hitch and Welcome to still northern Finland. I think I’ve been told local perception is we’re in the north of Finland till at least we get down to Olu. Fisherman still around. You go. He’s gone. I don’t know how long they were there cuz like they weren’t just like constantly casting. So, I just heard them go plunk to cast and then I probably just fell back asleep and didn’t hear them leave. But I don’t think they’re here anymore. Or they’re real sneaky. The holy sleeping pad. Let’s say you’re at the Bosnian Bay now. Does this count? It feels like shouldn’t count because I’m still above a dam. So, we’re like, feels like we’re not even connected to city of BNA yet. Shaina says, “You’re awesome.” So, here we come. Well, thanks, Shaya. And thanks for the rig. You haven’t been here before. This is Hitch. I am Hitch. Trevor stream hitchhiking and bike touring. We’re currently on a bike tour with a big big touring bike with a big trailer with a solar panel on it to run all our broadcast equipment. You’ll see in a couple minutes here. How much data you use on a daily basis per stream? Like 10 gigs, 15 gigs. Depends on like bit rate we have it set to and also the bit rate we’re able to maintain. So if we’re in a less ideal network areas and the stream is like struggling to exist in the first place, then we’re able to push is a lot less than what would be ideal. Right now stream set to 7,000 bit rate locally here. Crank to the data pretty fast at that rate. trip planned for this year. I don’t have any trips past this one planned, nor do I usually ever really do. Like my trips are planned very last minute. Um, so yeah, I’m not sure what happens after after this trip. But this trip kind of goes until I run out of shenan time. As a Canadian, I get 90 days and 180 periods in Shenhen Europe. There’s a car. Okay, there’s the bike. Here’s the river. Here’s my chair. Not my chair. The chair. It’s a little part of challenging around the clock. We’re below the Arctic Circle now, so the sun actually does set for the first time in this trip, but right now only for like two hours. With that said, when the sun gets really low on the horizon, um even when it’s sunny out, we don’t get that much charge because just how the sun works, I guess. Let’s get out. I feel so warm, but once I’m out, like it’s 14° out, it actually isn’t that warm. Just the whole tent being a house. Think I’m going to have to put some deed on probably too cuz I have seen some mosquitoes out this morning. Cycling sandals. They have clips. All right, let’s I can sit in my chair. I’m guessing my battery is fully charged right now, actually. Let’s see. This needs a good clean. I cleaned this yesterday, but then we got rain. So then rain threw up a ton of crap. Oh no, we still got a little bit to charge. Almost full though. 140 watts in the sun right now. Just charge other batteries from it too. How’s the night? This is a super calm night and like nice view from my tent. It cooled off quite a bit. The low overnight was forecast at 5. So, I stayed out of my tent and I called Sarah last night just out here and then the sun got really low on the horizon and then things got dewy cuz I just had my sleeping pad out cuz I inflated it on stream and I just left it out and then when I grabbed it like an hour later, it was just already wet cold dew. I see fish jumping. So, they’re definitely here. tangled in the delaminating ally. Oh, yeah. So, I ran out of toothpaste and I forgot to buy more. I like threw out the empty one. So, I didn’t have toothpaste to brush my teeth. Don’t let me forget. And chem need to brush teeth. Power battery. Your device is connected. One annoying thing I find about these DJI mics, we got this like recharging case, which is convenient, but the recharging case isn’t big enough to actually put the windscreen in there. So, these windscreens are small and they’re just really easy to lose. So, every night when I like set up my tent, I make like a verbal I’m putting the windcreen here because I’m going to forget it somewhere otherwise. This karma you karma karma. Okay. So we were given a gift deer came by snacks bit more north. Yeah, I was planning to get closer to town, but I just randomly went out to the um embankment whatever it is um and saw this spot with a chair. I’m like got to get in on that. So, of course, we got some chocolate milk of play. It’s good stuff. Some of these guys. I think I had a version. Wait, are these like They got stuff in the middle. Anyway, I got to try them. Got some rye bread. It’s got a rather backpack wearing flannel wearing bearded man on it. So, it’s probably good for you. And some water and some sea. Where’s the tan bike store in Canada? actually like cisu. This one I like. There’s different types, right? This one with a little bit of xylitol, like kind of mentholiness. It’s like a lozenge. It was helpful when I was sick. I’m not as sick anymore, but this and some of these rice pastry things. a viewer came by. He was uh happy that I hadn’t started the stream yet cuz he’s like I’m a little shy. I’m like that seems seems typical for Finland here. Smoked salmon rye bread sooner rather than later. Oh, this is with smoked salmon in it. Wait, the rye bread. There’s smoked salmon in this. Oh, it’s a sandwich. I thought it was just rye bread. Hold up. Hold up. All right, let’s have it. like why am I unable to actually this probably be a wait this is supposed to be a handle I’m eating it Huh? Fold it down and use this as a I don’t know about this handle. Oh god, nearly dropped it. I guess that mosquito that was a good Breakfast. Was not expecting breakfast to be brought to me here. I’ve got bruises on my u my calf from the horseback archery. I just noticed that now from squeezing my legs into the the horse. Like the leather strap was like digging into my leg. ads on stream when I’m a sub. Yeah, you shouldn’t get ads. That’s not like a an You can as a Twitch streamer turn on ads for subscribers, but that’s never been a setting we have. That’s weird. I do remember someone had that happen to them before. It just seems like a random twitch. Not in Kim yet. People come in are now deeply insulted. But I’m only 15 kilometers away. I figured it was the closest place of significance. Is that insulting? Sal should be delicious. Is it? Yeah, it’s good. No, it’s like salmon and I think like onions and stuff like that. Some good nutrition. Forever Fenway. just subscribed with Twitch Prime. Uh, Forever Fenway. Thanks for the prime. Welcome to the Hitch Bikers. be a para Sumi bread is good and plague cocoa. Yeah. Nice. I love their chocolate milk. I assume that’s the name of this. This is good. I like this little salmon sandwich. It feels very Finnish. Rye bread and salmon. Someone brought breakfast. Yeah, we had a viewer come by just like 20 minutes before I started the stream or so. Can we chat a bit? Viewer didn’t like introduce his name or anything, but say he’s been watching since uh Viking Portugal, so a few years now. Just wanted to come by and meet me in person briefly. sniped by the Dr. Pepper guy. Who’s that? We had when I was biking across Canada, his username was and he was the wine guy. When I was um near Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, but like 100 kilometers before it or 150, a viewer came by and brought me a bottle of like nice wine. I’m like, “Sweet, that’s great.” So, we had that. But then every day for like two weeks, wine guy would come by with another little treat of some sort. Not wine all the time, but like different candies, different stuff. And the dude would commute out to me to like bring me something fun every single day for like two weeks. stream thumbnail made it look like you have a smoking pipe in your mouth. It’s the camera pull on the maybe I do. I try to calito. Who is that? Maybe screaming. Is that this? I don’t see Kalakito. See how many calories he’s got. 2% chocolate both there. This is 1% I think. I see you’re drinking 1%. Is that cuz you think you’re fat? Oh, fish soup. I’ve had the three fish soups. Yeah. All three of them have been very different. Stop carbs decision. regarding tent get anywhere from Canada. Yeah, but it doesn’t seem like the Canadian tent manufacturer is getting back to Tanya. So, we probably just have to buy it oursel, but it’s going to take quite a while for it to get shipped here. Actually, let me message Hold up. Those are just recipian pie needs to be made in Corellia. So, it can’t be called that. Is this a Finland’s version of champagne? It’s only champagne if it’s in the champagne region of France. But you do it for rice pies. Are you You should have put cornerned. Your tattoo is going to fade with the exposure to so much sunlight. If it fades, it fades. It’s just uh I don’t know. It’s fine. You guys are on the internal mic. I don’t know. I’m trying to speak up. I’m just by the tent here because it’s hard to find in Europe. It’s Canadian tent. Well, Canadian brand tent, but I might have to u just buy one. There is a Finnish online store that sells the tent just at a very inflated price and they don’t have the poles to go with it. So, I have to like figure out my own usable. Yep, I need two. And I don’t know like their ones are adjustable, so you can adjust it depending on the pitch and how you want it set up. This one is fixed. that pulls. It’s a non-festanding tent. It’s meant to be used with your hiking poles. It’s a setup. I know. I feel like I should tell Wyber to turn it up. This has a daema version of tent, but then it’s back to the single wall tent at that point, which makes sense because at that point it’s 400 some odd grams, which is light. The regular X-M is like 700 something grams, but it’s like a double wall tent, so better deal better with like condensation and stuff. I’m looking forward to that. Cuz in this like when I slide to the top or the bottom of my tent, like I’m directly rubbing on daea. It doesn’t feel that nice. I’ll message Wyvern Okay, I did get hit by Did I get hit hard by a storm the other day? I took a day off that day, but like where we were in Roman Emmy was like not like it was dreary. It was rainy. It wasn’t super stormy though. Lot of bugs. Tamp here yesterday. Super nice weather. We had Well, okay. But we were dancing around rain squalls yesterday, but outside of the random really isolated rainstorms, the weather was really nice yesterday as well. Okay. And just resubscribed for 30 months. Who thanks for the 30month resub. Appreciate 30 months. All right. Um, that’s enough breakfast. We’re going to get packed up and ride into Kem. So kind of so dirty. I’m going to go pee, too. Muting the stream for P. All right, let’s back up. I forgot I’m not on the mic, so I can’t like speak over here. I don’t like the internal mic. I want to use my mic. But with the volume levels, when I go on my mic, it’s really quiet. then use your mic. But what I can use my mic, but then it’s going to be really really quiet. Even quieter than this how USB audio works. It’s annoying. Got 50% on mobile. That’s not bad. This is better. Like when I walk over here, make sense that it’s louder. Where am I going to privacy or clips? Are they a lot louder? See, that’s an issue. It should all be balanced to a comparable level. Yeah, I do want to test how loud it is. I’m going to put you guys in clips for a second. I just want to see commercial the same volume for me. Okay, I want to tell me how loud the clips are. Okay, so that didn’t work. Apparently our clips aren’t working. What’s going on with all the stuff? I forgot I had a cold smoked fish. This is from like days ago. So, this needs to be thrown out. Luckily, it’s still sealed. [Music] 23 just thanks for the sub. Welcome to the hitch bikers. Thank you. But yes, there’s lots of flies and bees and stuff. And when they fly right past the mic, it’ll be pretty loud. They’re also loud when they fly past my ear. almost back. Never had a fixed gear phase. No, I like gears. in the early 2000s. Pixies. There’s a uh a movie with Joseph Gordon Levit or Gordon Joseph Levit, whichever order it’s supposed to be in where he’s a bike courier in New York. It’s pretty much Mikey and uh I don’t know. It’s an action film somehow. Yeah. Premium rush fixed gear bikes. kind of needs to clean. I cleaned it yesterday, then it rained and then we got like road spray and it’s dirty. So, yes, it needs to be cleaned, but it kind of always needs to be cleaned. with the starting the whole day yesterday. Uh it was on like the majority of the day yesterday. We were testing it cuz now it’s set up. Kind of worked sometimes. We still don’t always have like line of sight to satellites up this north. Still, we don’t have many northern satellites. Apparently, Let’s see. It is gone. Let’s get the mic going. doesn’t want to connect. I might have to disconnect this one from live stream quickly. Repair it. Forgot how these work. One sec. Ah, there we go. brown boots are wearing in style. My normal hitchhiking boots are Redwing Iron Ranger boots. These ones are random thrift store find. Most I can make out on them is it says uh made in Canada. So there’s some kind of made in Canada boot, but if they’re older than it could be a variety of things. If they’re newer, then it’s probably Canada West or Boule boot. [Laughter] Oh, delay. Sorry, I haven’t switched the mic over. I haven’t switched the mic over. Um, now I should be on the mic. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. [Music] Ambling 2K just resubscribed for 70 months. Guten Morgan. Amling. Wait, how many months? 70. That’s a big one. What are you? My dinger’s broken. There we go. Ambble links with the 70 mub that’s right up there. Guten Morgan indeed GPS. Yeah, let’s do it. Same mic as yesterday. The other one, is this the same mic as yesterday or the other one? The same one as yesterday. It’s connected to here. Is it different? [Applause] It’s more quiet than yesterday. I don’t know. I didn’t change anything. I think we’re locked and ready to go. Let’s make sure all the backpack stuff back here is strapped up. Not going to fly away on us. What are we getting? 140 watts in the sun right now. Feels good, man. So much so. And we’re in the sun today. Let’s just turn on the Starlink. Wait, but now I got only got 50 gigs of data. Turn it on when we need it. So, I got a minimal plan cuz I wasn’t using it much. Way more quiet. And everyone’s complaining about the volume when we’re on the internal mic. I feel like it’s better to be on the louder side and people can turn it down rather than to be on the quiet side and try to get people to turn it up because there’s only so much turning up you can do. You can turn it down seemingly endlessly. It’s facing outward. It’s a lav mic. It’s The mic’s still literally right there. Quite often it’s like here like people like cuz it’s got a magnetic clip or like here. This is not far away. Okay. First bold up. Okay. Now I got to somehow get back up this hill. Thing I want to spin around, but it’s fairly narrow here for my turning radius. I turn it louder in OBS is to sacrifice audio quality. Why is that always an issue with like parm? What do I have to beat you with my hand? But like that’s always been an issue for Bella Box. It’s super quiet. It’s been an issue for now through Moblin straight up an angle in front of you. That’s real steep. Like why is this? Isn’t even USB audio. Why is this constantly an issue? Problems with your viewers, not the setup. You even think it’s quiet today. But if a large percentage people have the same issue, then it’s on our end. But yeah, it seems people watching on mobile aren’t having issues with volume. Feel like you’re pointing out. Um, people not on mobile are often having issues. Okay. Um, see how the bike was actually creaky a bit yesterday. I don’t want to threepoint turn this. It’s going to be probably more than three points. Yeah. Okay. Turn too hard. I jack knifed the trailer. Ah, never gonna make it as a truck driver. Got it. That wasn’t so bad. Okay. Nice. [Applause] Do you need help? Probably more ways than one. Sorry. Thank you for the GPS reminder. Always forget. Okay, I should be on. Come on. Come on. There we go. Excess by a couple days ago. Been following along your stream. I did 70 yesterday. Right on. Nice. All right, let’s get back out on the road. on the road again. Going places where I’ve never been. Seeing things that I may never see again. I can’t wait to get on the road again. I’m actually in my shorts and sandals without socks. Might even get warm enough today to switch to a jersey. [Music] Like a band of gypsies, we go down the highway. We’re the best of friends, insisting that the worlds keep turning our way. And our way is on the road again. Bucket Master. Nice country. It is nice. People are saying this is I think this is the part people are saying is like a boring part of Finland as it gets flat and farms, but I’ve really been liking it. It’s just starting after Olu. It’s boring. Oh, is it? We will see. That’s what I’m here for. I’m here to get the as much Finnish experience as I can. It took me like 11 years of traveling to finally come to Finland. And now we’re here. And now I want it all, including the boring bits. Give it to me. I’m ready. It’s got some openness. I like it. And the roads I’ve been on for a while has been like the secondary road that is like chewed up and beat up in places, but usually I can find a pretty smooth section and there’s like barely any traffic. So I passed by town Lee today. Shortest town names in Europe. On the shortest town names in Europe. Is there a oneletter town? Not le. Did I Did they spell it wrong or did I read it wrong? It’s I I Oh, pronounces I. Okay. I thought it was just all lowercase and it was an L and an I. was capital I cube but capital I with this whatever in this text looks suspiciously like a lowercase L and a lot of people on chat rooms like this they don’t capitalize the first they just don’t capitalize things so I Uh, it was late. So now this town is lead to meat. village of I people be mad probably getting called Lee as an I Ionian. What do they call people from? I take the album. Oh, my chat’s gone. International Sim doing international sim things. Cows. Get going. $6.90. Oh, no. No. I got to get one of them right. I like when I get his cadence right. All right, that was good enough. The nice donation. From I to go. I’ve been to that town in Wales. I made a hitchhiking sign of the entire name. Just kidding. Get in. He’s still going. [Applause] A bike path. No way. Might as well use what we got. This road’s so sparssely driven. I don’t really care. But use the infrastructure. Let’s see how ribbed for our pleasure it is. Some of these are pretty beat up. Pretty good start so far, though. It’s a little Look, look at that. I don’t know if you can what the angle is, but it’s seen better days. rate out of 10 for your pleasure. Has variable pleasure depending on the section we’re in. Some are just pretty smooth and some are extremely ribbed. any variety spice of life. So 10 out of 10 16 comfortable temp. You know, it’s really nice out today. Really good cycling conditions. I got oil billing spill on roads. What about the reindeer thousands? Reindeer’s big industry. [Applause] Green. Come on. International Sim, please. My chat’s disconnected. So, we have two networks stream right now. It’s just full bars of 5G, but nothing. Not a single blip. Sometimes I hate these sims. A lot of time I do. Most of the time I do. All right. Now it’s back. What you doing walking a bike? Smack. How many tires front front tires you repaired on this 1164? None. How many did you think? Why front tires? Just front. I average one flat every 2,000 km with touring tires. So we get them but infrequently. But I do need a front new front through axle cuz someone stripped the threads on the through axle whatever Allen key whatever thingamajigger thing. So, I should be getting Tanya to find one ahead of me. Was this someone new? It shouldn’t have been. I don’t torque my through axle that hard. need a tool kit for small affairs. Well, I do. I just don’t have like a tool kit for a stripped bolt. It’s a bit more specialized. Nor do I carry like spare through axles because that’s a pretty niche repair item. Need a portable lathe. I’m going to machine my own through axle model axle. It’s like was it 100 120 mil by I don’t know. I’d have to look it up. But apparently the the awkward to find part is finding the like the thread pitch or whatever of the tri axle as they can come in a couple different threadings. Yeah. Yeah. 100x 12 1.5 mm thread pitch. That’s the one. The same as the back one. The back one’s longer though. The thread pit should be the same. [Applause] Wider, stronger. Which dimension is it bigger? It’s bigger. 142 by 12. Okay. I guess when you look at that way, that’s wider to me. I’m like, it’s a pole kind of thing. So long. for the sauna and bike repair shop in the trailer. I think we just add extra trailers. So, we have a sauna trailer behind our solar panel trailer and a bike repair trailer behind the SA trailer. We go full road train. Cool. Bicycle with trailer. I think a child’s carrying trailer, but trailer nonetheless. We saw a guy touring yesterday with a a touring trailer. That was fun. I feel like I could see myself in 10 years having a kid and my bike and my kid in a bike trailer. So, I want to still like have my hobbies. I’m like, I’m supposed to take care of the kids. So, I’m like, “All right, kid. In the trailer, we’re going for a bike ride. Kill the first song experience in Finland. Uh, day one was our first song experience which wasn’t there. It was just at a campground. [Applause] Heat. [Applause] Heat. might tend to compensate for the kids weight. I’m going to get them one of those like a where the trail along ride alongs. You just drop them to your back of your bike and technically have them pedal. You are now my stoker. Provide power, please. [Applause] What name be? I don’t know, man. I don’t know what to name my kids. I think Sarah has a list of like names she likes, but I don’t. Whenever she asks, I’m just like Ragnar. Seems perfectly appropriate. Oh, we could go cack then. any K market thing good. I got a viewer coming by with breakfast delivery. It’s very nice. Oh, angry bird. Dude’s got a case of beer ready to go. And it was Sandals, which was uh we’re doing a Finland basic beer sample off between Sandals and Caru. I don’t know, man. They taste the same to me. [Music] Am I even drinking through whole night? Well, I bought like this electrolyte drink, like a sports drink yesterday and people said Finnish people usually drink that for their hangovers and it was kind of conveniently placed at an end cap where you just walk past it and spontaneously Whoa. What happened to the road? How much would that channel charge ebike if you’re using one? Well, it’s designed to be with me bike. It’s a 225 watt panel, so it depends on solar conditions. On a sunny day, you can expect to get like 1,000 W hours probably. You can get more if like it’s really ideal and the sun’s actually like positioned well beside you or directly above you for a lot of the day. Like the roads aren’t cooperating with their directions. Um, so 1 watt hours is quite a bit. This trailer is designed for solar powered ebike racing. Special bike Kona on their website. It’s just whether they have a through axle or not. the bike repair place we went to for the bike fit and stuff. They carried Kona, but they didn’t have the right size through axle. [Music] Oh, see a sign for Kem. Solar powered ebike racing, I think. Yeah, Google Sunrip. They do an annual solar powered ebike race. They get pretty creative with how they mount all the solar panels. Apparently, the current trend is recumbent with solar awnings. So, solar panel above where you’re sitting. Where’s Tanya? I think there’s like a pancake place I’m supposed to go to. I don’t know if there’s other stuff though. What was it? Sun trip. How do you find running for so long? Body running problems for biking. My body gets pretty used to it. Like your body gets used to what you put it through. When I first started touring 5 years ago, it was a bit of a tougher adjustment. Example, when I rode this bike home from the bike shop, it was like a 30 something kilome just over 30 km ride back to where I was staying at the time cuz I got a ride there and then I just rode the bike back. I stopped like 20 km in and had a nap next to the road cuz I was tired and my butt hurt. I didn’t want to go any further, so I had a nap. So, you haven’t ridden a bike much and then you get on there and you’re like, “This is uncomfortable. My butt’s sore. My legs aren’t used to this.” Variety of other things. That’s normal. Unfortunate, but normal. It’s encouraging for us noobs. Even I struggle with this, but like when you’re starting something new that you haven’t really done before or haven’t done for a long time, you can’t expect to be immediately you can’t expect to immediately excel at it. Expect to struggle. Expect to be like bad, quote unquote. It’s like we date to Olu. How far is that? We’re just passing through Kenny now and we’ll stop in town briefly, but we’ll be continuing on. Romy, I need to get toothpaste. I ran out. Irish kilometers. It’s from where we were camping. It’s 15 the chem and then it was another 100 from there. We could do that. Or maybe we do the same thing like we stop just before town so we can camp easily. Oh yeah, we do have accommodation offered in Olu. Difference little tuning done to your bike in Roing Miami. Like pretty much the seat just got rose rose raised. No, lowered 8 ms, but I raised it back up. I was feeling it more in my knees. [Applause] So, the big change I’d be curious about was the actual uh handlebar height. Apparently, that was supposed to be raised like a centimeter, but they didn’t have the riser that fit my bike, so we didn’t do that. cafe is on the ocean’s short side of the town. Okay, that sounds nice. Like I’m sure I got it somewhere in my messages. Whatever Tonia come up with. There’s a nice shoride cafe on a sunny day like this. Probably be nice. Want to change anything out of 10,000 km? I was mostly curious what science says technically should be changed. [Applause] Do you want pancakes? That might have been the place that Tanya was recommending I go for pancakes. Fight game. [Applause] Cammy, we made it. My bell is worse for wear. Antelia just subscribe with Twitch Prime. Antabia. I said that kind of correct. Thank you for the Prime. Welcome to the Hitch Biker. Heat. Heat. [Music] Easy pass. [Applause] I didn’t ding you in Anti-Arabia. Antiabia. Thank you. One time Hitchover took another bike. Hey, I can be relatively quick sometimes, notably when I go downhill. I was summoned. What is wrong now? That’s awkward, Tanya. I I’m not supposed to be talking to myself. Hitch was summoned to Hitch’s stream. Yeah, I’m live. Oh, I still need to get a replacement through axle. If I get a flat, I might not be able to take my wheel off. 120 mil x 12 mil by uh 1.5 mm thread pitch. So, I’m pretty screwed if uh I get a front flat right now. This red’s fully script or strip. like fast and smooth and nice at this point. Yeah, it’s pretty good. I guess now we’re in like the city town, location, place. I need to look at where I’m going. I sent you the update on WhatsApp for Chem, but sadly no one has replied. Frown. People hate you. Captain subscribed with Twitch Prime. Sad Captain Links for the Prime. Welcome to the Hitch Bikers. All right. Dun better to order itself sinky potentially. Ah, I got passed. Hey, you’re on the ebike coffee shop with really good pancakes. Snow castle of Chem. Okay. Coffee shot. Probably it’s probably all we got. Oh, yeah. Looks good. Directions. Start. It’s a no castle. I was going to say snow castle right now sounds difficult. Oh. Oh [ __ ] You broke his chain. I’ve never actually seen anyone break a chain like full split. I don’t have anything that can help him. If I had something that could help him, I would. She’s gone. I get him to like hold on to my bike and I can drag him. He looks like he’s pretty local, so he’s probably not too caught out. He’ll just be a little bit slower. Professional painting saddles with gel in it for mid-range trips. for mid-range is probably fine. The prevailing wisdom, keep in mind I haven’t used a gel saddle, so I don’t know personally. The prevailing wisdom in the touring community is you don’t want a squishy saddle because that squishiness will cause rubbing on your skin and you’ll chafe. So like a little short ride around town, it’s probably fine. But if you’re getting big distance, apparently not so fine. 25k, I don’t think you’d have issues. But saddle comfort is such a personal thing, man. Everyone’s pushing their bike. They on single speeds. [Music] You have squishy shorts though. But I cycled like 8,000 km off Canada with just normal athletic shorts on. I feel like when I was in Raven Roven Emmy and like here whenever there’s like a gradual uphill everyone’s pushing their bike and it leads me to believe that Finnish people don’t believe in gears. [Applause] We got coffee finish pancakes harbor area. Yeah, we’re going there now. Um 1.4 km to some kind of cafe with pancakes hitch gatekeeping grandma’s biking. Well, I got to be better than someone. And if I can be better than anyone, maybe that’s finished grandma’s. I just don’t want to be the worst. All right. I can be the second worst. [Applause] can be better than me. But like some people honestly don’t know how gears work. For example, in history, Sarah Sarah didn’t know how to change gears to go up a hill. Not until the tandem trip that did that she start to understand how like gears work start catching strays. But like I have gone into great detail at how inexperienced of a cyclist Sarah was when I met her. But when I do that, it’s in the context of now look at her. that much improvement. She started objectively as a not a very good cyclist. She could ride a bike but very uncomfortably. [Music] And now she’s doing big solo tours all over the world. So I think that is impressive cuz it didn’t just come naturally there. She had to work for that. Heat. Heat. I just saying keep the same kind of cadence. Yeah. A lot of people stay in their gear and they’ll go uphill and then they’ll be grinding at like 20 cadence. I know the kind of cadence zone that’s comfortable to me and I try to keep it in that zone 90ish. But some people, well, I don’t know if you can see my pedaling cadence well on camera, but some people see that be like, why are you pedaling so fast? This is comfy. And for a long day of cycling, I find a high cadence easier to maintain. Again, the what’s the prevailing wisdom? High cadence is more cardio. Low cadence is more like muscle. It’s easier to do long form cardio exercise than long form muscle strength exercise. civilization. Whoa. Crazy spare chain with you. No, my spare is a thumb. We got a big multi-day pack on. Try Hburger again. Not yet. What if chain brakes and L canola? That’s why I said this is my backup. I’m a professional hitchhiker. You don’t have to worry about everything. You’re a captain. What if? What if this happens? What if this happens? What if this happens? What if this happens? What if it all happens? Are there no signs for anyone Who is right of way? I don’t think any direction has signs. High hopes for those pancakes. Something buzzing. Um I don’t It’s hard. What if the pancakes are bad? That’s a good question. Um, sorry. Try to not get hit by a car. Now I forgot what I was talking about. Are we 2 minutes away from pancakes? I do have high hopes for the pancakes. Like honestly, I feel like it’s hard to do bad pancakes. I don’t understand these intersections. They look like big enough intersections that they have some kind of traffic control. Like not like necessarily a light, but like something a yield sign for someone. It’s a pretty church. This Sunday, there’s something going on like a wedding or something less fun. I don’t know. See, let right pass. Okay. I don’t know if I like them. So, I come up with speed and I want to maintain my speed if at all possible. Oh, these speed bumps suck. Could have gone around left. Oh my lord. Like if a car comes zipping in, I’m not expecting a bike. I’d rather not get hit by a car cuz that’s bad for your health. Like we had someone the other day insisting how bad Red Bull was for your health, but I think getting hit by a car is even worse. Oh my god. Try and let us know. No. [Applause] Is the sun homemade pancakes? At least the weather’s nice. Lots of bikes out today. Huge touring bikes. Oh, the motorcycles. I’m like, these don’t look like touring bikes. Hey. Hello. You guys on a motorcycle tour? Yeah. Or just local? The red is mine. The red one’s yours. Where are you riding from? I live here. Oh, you live here local. Okay. Yeah. It’s a nice day. How about now? Saved. Okay, there is an issue with Moblin then because I didn’t change it and I just restart the app. There it is. Hey, [Music] [Music] get some pancakes. Yeah, sure. And then strawberry jam and whipped cream on top. That sounds good. That’s perfect. Perfect. Maybe coffee or Yes, coffee, please. Okay, please help yourself with coffee. So, coffee and pancakes, please. Sure. Thank you. You want a receipt? Uh, no. Thank you. Super sweet and cream. Mhm. You need a hand? I can help you. Oh, sure. Thank you. [Music] [Applause] She’s so nice. [Music] Appreciate it. Thank you so much. Thanks. These are a different style pancake. So pancake. What? What is a finished pancake? What is it? What am I looking at here? Need a lot more. Yeah, this isn’t like necessarily a big portion. But she like predicted what I wanted. It wasn’t hard to predict, but it’s a different kind of pancake. I can tell it looks real different. Oh, look at that hair. Okay, that’s hungry. We had a viewer drop off breakfast at my tent this morning. This guy is so hot. Is that Are you Sarah in disguise? Sarah’s just making new accounts. All right, let’s get this pancake spread and eaten. Ketchup and whipped cream. No, it’s like strawberry jam and whipped cream. Ketchup and whipped cream would be interesting, though. Why not? Let’s do it. [Music] That’s good. It’s like thick and kind of dense compared to like our fluffy pancakes, but I like it. [Music] Wow. Adult Viper just subscribed. Adult Viper. Thank you very much. Yeah. Only 17 more subs until what this time last time you set a like a sub goal for you to do something. It was weird and uncomfortable. [Music] Typical goblins. Yeah. Just the monthly sub goal. What’s our monthly sub goal? We have a monthly sub goal. 1,200. Didn’t you say that? There’s the meat. [Music] [Music] All right. So, I want to see how far is older. Let’s see if we can get there. [Music] 127 km is the the bike route which gets us off the highway. A lot of it According [Music] to Tanya yesterday, 120 some odd kilometers should be about 3 4 hour bike ride to me. She’s very optimistic about my riding capabilities. I wish I could ride that fast. should be on small controversies along the E75. E75. My map says the whole highway here is an E8. Bike pass, bike pass, bike pass. Right next to E8. Right next to E8. See if it ever puts us on the E8. Oh, still off. Still off. I think that’s still separate. [Music] This looks like the weirdest section. This is like switchbacks. I feel like we’re going up some like weird hill. Let me go to satellite view. It’s like putting us like a random mountain road. It looks like does not look paved. I don’t think that’s viable. This looks like some farmer’s driveway for some of this. You might have to ride on the highway briefly. We’ll see. I don’t know. Mountain Finnish mountain. So like 30 m. Oh. a place I can stay in Olu and they’re not even there. I’d have to get there. That’s 127 km. We could that would put us at like 140ish for the day. Oh, they will meet you. They don’t actually Okay. Oh, I get there. Sure. That’d be nice. I can have a shower, which is premium. Um, does the apartment have a bathtub? Can I try and find my hole in my sleeping pad? Not. Why would I know that? I will ask. I thought you know everything. Bathtubs are pretty rare in Finland. Suspicious because of the anti-Japanese. Every Japanese bathroom has a bathtub. Even if it’s small, like it it could be like a plunge tub that you have to be in the fetal position to plunge in. But it’s there. is see Oh, yeah. We’re at the Sea of Bosnia now, right? That’s fine. We made it to like the sea since we left our last fjord in in Norway. I like this lure. Bathtubs were a hit in the 80s, but after that pretty much gone. Just imagine like this craze in Finland. Everyone’s just like, I love bats. And then the 90s people were like, “Nah, I’m done with baths.” Was Gul Bian was seen. On my last day off in Roani, the hotel I was staying at, I could either choose a room with a sauna or a room with a bathtub, but not both. You’re only allowed one. I chose a song. I’m going to have to find a bathroom in town somewhere. I think there’s probably one by on the beach somewhere. Hello. I’m written real Finland can’t own a both a sauna and a bathtub, but I feel like they go well together actually. You can have a sauna and then right next to your sauna if you’re not next to like a lake. What? Oneeyed Greg. Was that 25 gifted subs on kick? It’s not showing in my stream elements notifications. Tanya, help me. I heard the notifications, but it’s not showing in my my alerts. Bro, I used to watch you all the time. Oneeyed Greg and now we’re here on kick. 20. I’ve never I only have like 40 something subs on kick. You almost like doubled my kick sub count. That’s amazing. I really appreciate the support. Oneeyed, Greg. It’s very generous of you. If you were gifted a kick sub, welcome to the hitchhikers. Have that many kick viewers. usually like 30 to 70 viewers. And I don’t know how kick distributes like gifted subs, but if it’s like people actively watching, like everyone got gifted a sub shared it on WhatsApp. All right. Why is that not showing in my stream elements on my stream button? It this this used to work. What happened? Yeah, we have like 37 viewers on kick right now, which means almost had as many gifted subs as we have viewers. Okay, connections. Also, YouTube alerts weren’t showing up. I should message Wy cuz I want to be able to read this stuff. Sorry. One second. All right, we’re going to message my tech wizard. triple stream unless there’s something about the app. Yeah, I know. That’s why I messaged the big daddy CEO of the app. It’s going to be user error somewhere, but it did work at some point. Okay. Um, I’ll probably need more food than this, but I have more food, so I can eat my own food. YouTube support 4K live streaming. Feels like Twitch’s behind on tech. Twitch is behind on tech. YouTube also supports 360 live streams. No, we don’t have the technology to like be here streaming in 360° based off of like broadcasting phones or bell boxes or live views. They don’t support that resolution, but um they support it. You can do it from home cuz you can use like a desktop software that will like encode a 360 live stream, but like our live encoding mobile stuff doesn’t work. But yeah, Twitch is very updated on how they run several things. Another big one that feel like shouldn’t be that complicated to add that everyone else has is like when you’re watching the live stream, you can like just scroll back and like rever rewind the live stream and watch any part of the stream as you’re watching the stream and then click and go back to live. Kick has that. YouTube has that. Everyone else has that. Twitch says they’re going to add it. But here we are. Just bring a desktop. Yeah, if I brought a desktop PC, we could probably do a 360 live stream. Twitch added that it’s supposed to be soon. I don’t know if they’ve given a fixed date on that. Is Finnish coffee culture better than coffee in other countries? Finnish coffee in general, in my opinion, is just cheap, dark roasted diner coffee everywhere. But I like that. I think that’s good. But um it isn’t like fancy coffee. It just is effective coffee and people drink a lot of it. Um quantity over quality. Exactly. Exactly. But I love here cuz like I don’t know. I’m in southern Europe. They have their coffee culture. They drink their espressos, blah blah blah. I like espresso. I think it’s fun. You can’t get unlimited coffee anywhere. It doesn’t exist. You pay for every single thing you get. You want seconds, you can pay for another one, but you can’t just refill a coffee. Isn’t darker. It was two three out of five level roast. I don’t It seems dark. Maybe I’m wrong. It’s light roast mostly here in Finland. Well, then what am I drinking? Unless my taste buds are bad. Some places you can refill. Like here, like here, most of them just have like a little like carff thing and you just draft your own coffee. And those places are usually free-for-alls. mic on. Uh, no, this is the internal mic on the cell phone. food coming. That small thing was it. This is a pancake. It’s just a cafe. It’s just not like a big restaurant thing. So, I’m leaving here soon and then I’ll probably sit somewhere else and eat more of my food and then we ride cuz I was given breakfast from a viewer. So, I got some more chocolate milk and some more um those like rice cakes, rice pastries, norally gifts refill for 5. Yeah, normally doesn’t really do free refills either. See, but like Finland’s full of all you can eat lunch places, all you can drink coffee. I like Finland. You guys cater towards my cycling appetite of more quantity over quality. Okay, I’m going to go I’ll need to find a washroom somewhere here and we can eat. Maybe like right on the coast or something. Throw this out first and then we’ll get out of here. It’s a toilet behind the building. Those portaotties. Are those porties? behind the store. Behind the cafe. I don’t see any in between the fort and this port. That port. I don’t see a building. More food. I was a viewer came by when before I started the stream and brought some food. I actually eat those pastries. The the rice pastry things. Rice pies. just random building to see it’s the same building. Oh, okay. Let’s go see and then ban them if it doesn’t exist. It’s gotten busy. It’s the same building like around here. Ah, so it is. Okay. You guys are going on a bike though. You don’t get banned today. We’ll try again tomorrow. [Music] Someone creeping on their table. Let’s do the back. Welcome back. [Music] Not saying it can’t happen, but I most places I go, people tend to think they have this impression that they’re from like this rough and tough neighborhood that’s like hard done by and it’s like this dangerous place. And then you go there and you’re like, if this is if this is a dangerous place, I you haven’t been anywhere yet. [Music] Is that the only Thanks for your Okay. Uh, I’m going to go to the washroom and I’ll be back. Um, okay. I’m going to bring my phone. I’m gonna put you guys in. Wait, the the clips don’t work. Yeah, I’m going to try to bring this phone. It might kill the stream though. So, just cuz this one was easily accessible. [Music] I say hippo. [Music] your coffee. Thank you. So [Music] many 14. Thank you. What’s a catfish? I got you. Cheers. [Music] I do like this. Come here. Come here. Now it did disconnect. Here we go. Okay, I need to eat some more. So, we’re going to sit up somewhere, maybe a bench on the coast here, and uh eat a bit more. I should put some sunscreen on, too. Hey, sorry about that. The phone was in a case thing so I can like use it while I’m riding, but apparently sun and no wind where we’re at killed it even though it’s only 16 degrees or whatever. And I need to talk to Wyver wire clips aren’t working because that’s not ideal. Kick chat’s being kicked. We have a mod here that Where’s my milk? [Music] Okay, we’re going to eat a little bit more cuz that pancake was not enough food. Are we not attached to the mic not attached? Did it die? Got a message wyver about the uh Why aren’t you connecting? Oh, there you go. This might be out of sync, though. There you go. This might be out of sync, though. Are we on the mic now? [Music] Check. Oh, god damn it. Yeah, we need a mod on kick. Tony, you can just do one moderator thing. You have access. Is this safe? I need more food, though. dude and then we can ride. I want to get like another 100ish kilometer day and do it takes You going to survive? Oh, no. No, no, no. That’s a bad idea. Danger. Limbo girl cheered 100 bits. Uh, Limbo girl with the 100 bits. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. I got to put sunscreen on, too. Sorry, one sec. Sorry. Uh rate finished truck milk uh very high. it to me it’s like comparable to the K milk in Norway and that is like one of my favorite chocolate milks in the world. So it’s high quality fresh chocolate milk. It’s the right consistency. Some chocolate milks are too thick. They’re too heavy. So I can’t drink a ton of it even though like nutrition wise it’s comparable. So has to be like thin enough I can drink it well but like tasty enough and fresh. One of the more dangerous marinas in Kem. What do you mean dangerous? Is it like the kids that we ran into like yesterday on the scooters? Like the mopeds? Are they up to no good? They’re on summer break and they’re bored, so they like hang out and they loiter. They committed the grand felony of of loitering. Seagulls will attack you anytime soon. That’s true. I don’t trust seagulls. A seagull pooped on my head once and our relationship has ever been tarnished by that. [Applause] Not bad. tried Carellian pastry. This is like a Carellian pastry but not from the Carellian region of Finland. We’ve learned it’s like champagne. It can kind of be the same thing, but it’s not from the Champagne region of France. It’s just sparkling wine. This is that garage hing gifted a tier one sub to seal VODs. They have given 63 gift subs in the channel. Whoa, we got Sarah J. Hotting hanging out gifting subs. Thank you. Good to see you. Wait, feta is salad cheese if it’s not from Greece? Really? I feel like in Canada they use feta all the time. Maybe they’re breaking the rules. Canada’s a bad guy. Yeah, we’re calling salad cheese feta cheese illegally. Better annex us. The gulls are gulling. Catalin sparkling my boat called Cava, our champagne equivalent. trailer, lots of ebikes. It’s like a nice day day there. It’s about as nice as could be. It’s like perfect cycling conditions. It’s not that hot. It’s not that cold. Wind isn’t fighting us. Washing the solar panel. If we go past the gas station that actually has a a scrubby rubby dubby and then we’ll wash it. I think that’s the official term. Foreign [Music] speech. Foreign speech. I’m guessing my batteries are probably full right now. Like we were getting 140 watts in the sun right now. That’s pretty good. The seagulls are fighting each other. [Music] I think that seagull might be that person that was spamming our kick chat. Just incoherent screaming. How much battery does that thing have? Uh 700 watt hours. But it’s degraded to some extent cuz it sat half charged in a Norwegian garage for 2 years that was like not temperature controlled. And the boat’s guarded. Can you like hop on one of them? Like the cabin might be locked, but there’s no like nothing blocking you from going out on the onto the marina and just walking on a boat. either than the honor system, which we were talking about yesterday, because at every hotel I’ve stayed at on this trip, they’ve had like decent free breakfasts, but they don’t like check your room number or confirm you’re staying there or anything. In like North America, not always, but very frequently, you’ll get there and they’ll just be like, “What’s your room number?” And then they’ll write it down, blah blah blah. here. You just go in and you eat the food and you drink the unlimited coffee and they just trust that that is correct. I’m guessing the marina system works the same. Leave the boats alone. It’s not your boat. Before I leave town, I have to hit um a market and get toothpaste. So, I ran out yesterday and I have a dirty mouth gate before you enter the path to boats. Like where I’m from in Komox, that’s what a marina is like. Yeah, there’s a gate and you need a key to enter the marine in the first place. I think you guys can just see from right here like you just walk right out. Maybe I’m blocking it. [Music] What are you doing? That one seagull is just pissed. But add another seagull. [Music] Tell me just have you climbed in Finland four, five, give or take, give or take. But like in the north it was like pretty decent rolling hills. I remember first day in Finland it was actually pretty climy. like nothing was more than like I don’t know probably like at most like 30 meters at a time but it was like pretty consistently up and down. Oh, and I got to refill my water. I’m here. I had to turn my down my volume. It was too loud. Again, I think it’s better to be on the loud side and it’s people have a lot more flexibility to turn down their volume than for it to be on the quiet side and having people having to pin their volume at 100%. Also, why our clips aren’t working when I disconnect? It’s just blackness. Is that cuz we’re running through my bell box relay? I missed clips. Public hose water spot. Other side of the marina. That side or that? So the other side could be either way. All right, that should be fine. I got a bag of garbage I will dispose of. for I’ll look at lag issue. It’s when you turn on studio mode in OBS. Studio mode. Okay, I can tell that to the IRL tool kit, guys. But like even now that I’m running the like the bonding through um through my Bella box uh relay now, I don’t have that constant like you know I was talking about and we thought it was you thought it was throttling the network constantly dropping down to 250 bits like all day long with like very consistent frequency. Hasn’t happened a single time since we’re running the bonding through the bellow box relay. So, something’s going on with IRL tool kits bonding or how mine was set up. It’s the plan though. We ride south direction Olu. I need to get uh some toothpaste though and some water. Anyway, I’m gonna throw some stuff in a second. Extra test for Olu achievement. Apart from produce loudly, buy some OJ. What’s that? What are we buying? We can probably get something. Which which store should I go to for toothpaste? We got local knowledge here. Also, apparently there’s a public hose somewhere on one side of this marina. I want my public hose. What are we doing? Who was that? Was that Wyvern just randomly disconnecting? I got 7,000 bit rate. Asking about the clips player. It’s broken on there and kind of sad. There’s so many issues. I should probably message them now because for some stuff they’re like it’s hard for us to be able to tell unless you’re live. Okay. Sorry. I gotta message my server people. Okay. a few things. All right. This G player isn’t working. What else? Um, uh, bonding from Moblin. was dropping to [Music] What So, disconnect clips, the constant dropping bit rate things gone. Um, It’s going to Okay. Tech support. Sorry. Uh Prisma K city market supermarkets s K supermarket supermarket sale on K market smallest ones. Okay. All right. And I’m doing the studio mode thing. And I’m being told when we enter studio mode on OBS. That legs the server too hard. Okay. Sorry. Sorry. tech support stuff cuz we’re having lots of issues. Okay, so let’s get back on the bike. Go to one of these supermarkets. Got to find one of them. Should hire me as a support guy? Well, like you probably could honestly between like developing Stream Buddy and stuff. I’m sure you could get a good job somewhere in the stream ecosphere. Okay. Supermarket. I want to find that hose though. Uh, where do I want to go? I’ll just go to one of the small ones. It’s more expensive, but it’s fine. your bib pockets. These are not cargo bibs, unfortunately. Be nice. Um, I kind of want my jersey on cuz my jersey has pockets. Would be eventless. Check that they’re not filtered out. Oh, good point. Let me see. Okay. Kick subscribers are filtered out. I don’t know why YouTube says I should get them, but I don’t see them. Can we do a test? Water point is back beyond the cafe you ate at after the bigger car parking. Okay, we can go check it out. Sorry. Can’t test this. Can we test YouTube? What about my Hello. Hi. Do you mind if I ask what is this solar panel? Really? Yeah. Okay. What for? I make a live broadcast of the bike tour I’m on. Okay. And uh this means I never have to plug into like a a power outlet or anything. So Okay, great. I’m independent. Ah, that’s great. So my son Oh, he must be uh live streaming right camera. Yes. Uh so man streams on Twitch. Do you watch Twitch? Uh or do you do more YouTube? Yeah. So on Twitch, the channel is just called Hitch. Hi T. Okay. And then I stream Yeah. bike tours and I go hitchhiking in different countries. Ah, great. So where are you going now? Uh to Helsinki. Okay. From I started in Trumpso, Norway. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. My uh big sister lives in Trump. Oh, really? Okay. Yeah. So, okay. Well, u is there a good uh road to um ride a bicycle in Norway? Because I don’t think there is many like No, usually outside of town you just have to ride on the road. Um and then in some places it’s a pretty slow road so there isn’t much traffic and other places it’s a bit highwayish but it’s the same for Finland like um in the north where I came in you mostly just had to ride on the highway. They say highway it’s still like not very busy but it’s narrow. So when there’s trucks and stuff, it gets a little tight. Yes. And I think I don’t know uh did you notice that in Norway they are uh uh car drivers are a bit um more like friendly to they they were in general. Yeah. But like so have people in Finland in general, but then you get the occasional person that isn’t okay. Okay. Just occasional. And then it’s like it’s like that one in aundred person that you remember more than the 99 people that were nice. Oh, I hope it’s not just one like Yeah. Yeah. Okay. But like lately I’ve I’ve been uh like yesterday I left Roven and Nemi um and I either got a bike path the whole way or I got to be on like small secondary roads and that was nice. Yes. Just wasn’t it feels much safer. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. For sure. So that’s been enjoyable. So So how uh how long do you uh ride like in one day? Anywhere from like 50 km to 150 km. Yeah. in that range. So, depends on weather and Yeah. So, like I think yesterday was 110 or something from Roi and yeah, that was good. Where do you sleep? You have tent. Tent. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So, I camped just 15 km north of town right on the the river. Yeah. There’s like a embankment and then I was found a nice spot on the river which was nice cuz last night was beautiful. It was like no wind, blue skies, sunny. It was real nice. Yeah. Yes. And you chose a good time to be in Finland now. Midsummer. Yes. Now it’s good because past few weeks. Everyone was saying it was the worst summer in Yes. In years. Yeah. But I meant that uh it’s really uh bright. Oh, bright. Yes. Night. Cuz Yeah. Until like yesterday pretty much. Um the sun hadn’t set at all. Like here I think the sun sets for 2 hours or something. Like barely. Barely. Barely. Yes. Um, but that’s the first time the sun’s actually set on this trip because up in Trumso, sun does not set. I know. Um, yes. Yeah. So, to me that’s cool. And then like I can ride several nights. I’ll just ride until like midnight cuz I can. It’s bright out. Might as well. But I need I have like an eye mask sleep cuz like I can’t sleep with how it’s like you sleep in in the day cuz it’s so bright. Yeah. But it’s kind of nice riding at night cuz Yes. I don’t know. There’s less traffic. So like I kind of get the road to myself. light at summer nights. It’s It’s different. Yeah, it’s beautiful. No, I liked it a lot. Yeah, that’s nice. Okay, I think we’re going to get some ice cream. That’s a good idea. So, where are you from? Canada. Okay, great. How did you end up here? Uh, I do like a bike tour every year and a hitchhiking trip every year. Generally, every summer I’ll do something in Europe because it’s nice. So, this trip is Yeah. Norway, Finland, and Estonia, Latith Lithuania, that direction. So, I’ll be like 3 months in Europe and then that’s how long I’m allowed as a Canadian at a time and then I’ll go somewhere else. Okay, that sounds great. You have to enjoy life. That’s true. Okay, so have a nice safe trip. Thank you. You have a great day. Enjoy the ice cream. What was your channel? Hitch. Hi T. Okay. I don’t know what that is, but he knows. He knows. Okay. We we have to watch it. All right. Maybe I’ll see you in the chat. Yes. Okay. Have a great day. Byebye. All right. I was like, “How do you grow a Twitch channel?” There you go. Boom. This is how we do And that’s one kid. There’s a kid in his mom. All right. See if you guys overheat in this little case thing again. It’s kind of convenient. And then it’s not just it’s actually visible to me and I can change it while I’m on the bike and stuff. Yeah, two new viewers cuz Twitch’s discoverability is bad. So, you have to find your own discoverability. Or really, I just have to have a weird enough setup that my discoverability finds me. Is it overheating the gun? Yeah, it’s not even that hot out. It’s just nice. I like I don’t know if you can see it that that little tiny case and uh has a plastic screen and I’m like, “Oh, it’s supposed to have some rain.” So, that’ll be good for the rain. Um but of course then that blocks the air circulation. I’m like, I could put my little uh cooling thing in there and like clamp it and put it in the case thing and have active cooling. Classic iPhone. I feel like it’s all flagship phones, but you don’t have an appropriate amount of cooling for how much power they got. All right, we’re trying to find the water hose. I could go in anywhere in Finland and they give me water, but So, they said it was back this way, other side of the bigger parking lot. If I was a water hose, where would I be? I could even probably just go to the cafe with a water bottle. This dude’s got mohawk. Wait, you’re not even supposed to park there, dude. It’s got a big X in it. Like somewhere over here. Water hose. That looks like maybe a hose. I got to run it for a few seconds cuz it’s going to taste bad. So much water to your left. It’s salt water. What’s the quote from like people sailing across the ocean and slowly dying of dehydration? Water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink. That’s this ship. I call every ship a vessel now cuz vessel is for boats and ships. Okay. Just don’t want to like hose anyone. Probably this drainage thing be fine. It has barely any salt, so I should just drink it. That’s not the water point. Why not? What’s wrong with this water? What’s wrong with this? It’s going to be city water. It’s not just from the sea, is it not? What do you mean? What’s wrong with this water? Not potable. Why is it not potable? Someone said there’s a hose. This is a hose. I was just going to run it for like 30 seconds. Then does the label say anything? Howal ooler Uber floor hydrant. It’s an Uber floor hydrant. There are drinking water spots. Then who was I thought this is where the person sent me to? I bet it’s fine. I’m drinking it. You guys can go complain all you want. It’s fine. Why do you speak like a famous character? What do you mean? It’s further long road. They said just behind Okay, it’s warm. That doesn’t feel good. They said behind the bigger parking lot. That’s where I went behind. It’s not getting cold. I want cold water. That’s fine. can wash your panel. I don’t have anything to wipe it with. It’s my issue. carry purifying tabs. This is city water is fine. Yes, it ran through a hose, but it’s fine. This is why I wear sandals. My sandals are soaked, but they’ll dry in like 30 seconds. Okay, that’s fine. We still have to get uh uh toothpaste, though. That didn’t sound good. shitty water. The only shitty water is the water that helmet cleans his ass in. But I don’t think helmet’s coming down this way. Hey, squeak. You at least taste it. You didn’t see me tasting it. Yes, I tasted it. It’s fine. [Music] Twitch chat’s scared of everything. We will survive. People are scared of water and bears. Apparently, people come to the stream and they see woods, they’re like, “Excuse me, streamer, aren’t you worried about being attacked by a bear?” Speaking of being attacked by a bear and an Italian tourist got killed by a bear like a couple days ago in Hungary was in Hungary. Want to know why? They’re on a motorbike tour and they stopped to take selfies and feed the bear. If dude just like drove down the road, saw the bear, and like meet a bear, and continued on, they’d be fine. Don’t stop and feed the bears. A bear with cubs at that. Romania, sorry. We can get around that. Yeah, in general, bears want nothing to do with you. So, I’m going to try saying it like go the other way. Think right in that instance in that road cuz it’s there’s a lot of bears. A lot of tourists go there and then feed the bears cuz they want to get their pictures with the bears and then they create this situation where the bears aren’t scared of people anymore. Once bears aren’t scared of people, now that’s a dangerous bear. Anyway, there’s true instances of someone just minding their business in the woods and getting attacked by bears, but most bear attacks are just stupid. arrived. This doesn’t look okay. Market. Okay. Just going to a little market here cuz they’re quick to get in and out of. I’m just going to take a normal car parking spot cuz I’m as big as a car. ticket incoming. No, I just need a toothpaste and I’ll probably get a chocolate milk for when I inevitably need energy. So, let’s go do that. Hello. Hi. Where are you from? Canada. Canada. Yeah. Really? Where are you going? Uh to like Estonia, Latia, Lithuania. So, uh to Helsinki and then uh Yeah. Are you coming from Laplan? Uh yeah, I started in Trumpso, Norway. Okay. So, heading south. Yeah. Nice. So, are you tired? Uh at the beginning of the trip, I was more tired, but now my body’s used to it. Okay. Is this your first time? No. No. So, um, I’ve been doing bike tours since 2020. I’ll do like one a year, but I’m from Canada, so my first one was across Canada. So, I started a big and now usually I’ll just do one tour somewhere. Like last year’s was um through Korea. Um, which was fun. This year’s is south. And then two years ago, I did the whole west coast of Norway up to Northcap. So, yeah. How was the weather? It Norway on this trip cold. Okay. But like it wasn’t that wet though. I We didn’t get like any big storms until like 2 days ago. Um so honestly it hasn’t been that bad. And I’m from Canada so I’m kind of used to cool weather. So cuz if it’s like stormy and rainy and cold that’s uncomfortable but if it’s just cold it’s fine. Put some layers on. It’s not so bad. Where do you sleep? Do you have a tent? A tent. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So like last night I was just like 15 km north of town on the river. Um came Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, and that was really nice cuz last night was beautiful. So, did you went a swim? No, I didn’t swim last night. I probably should have. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, cool. Have a nice trip. Thank you. Have a good one. See you. Byebye. What are you talking about? Fins are quiet. But my Finnish viewers are quiet. Okay. All right. Toothpaste and chocolate milk. The classic combination. But don’t brush your teeth and drink chocolate milk. It tastes bad. See, you’ll never see it. It’s a general greeting. Goodbye. something. Hey, this is what one of the viewer got me but with salmon. One of the this brand with this machismo looking dude. some drink some animal yell like animals. So what I’ve noticed is in like oh here we go in like quiet countries like Japan they’re all like quiet and reserved and they all just try to fit in with society. throughout the day. But if you get them drinking, they drink hard and then they get like real wild. Japanese drinking culture is weird. All the Japanese businessmen will just be like passed out on the street, but you see them like a few hours before that and they’re just like perfect model citizens. Wait. Uh, toothpaste, moisturizing creams. I need to put sunscreen on, tampons, toothbrush. Um, toothpaste. Here we go. Maybe Colgate Max Fresh with cooling crystals. Wow. There’s too many types, you know. Maybe I want Pepsident. Wait, what size are these? This This is Why does the European play things not put the There we go. Whatever. It’s toothpaste. I think this is a good size. I hate the really really small travel size ones cuz they last like 4 days. These last like a month or something. Um, I think I got enough candy for the road today. Should be good. Hey, hey, wait. We got Eliza. Eliza wanted to censor the whole payment process. But honestly, my bike is bigger than that car. Like longer. Okay. Come on. Hello. [Music] Just don’t use Talia. Well, they they just have this really annoying like system notification message. Sorry, I’m connecting these. I think my mic is connecting though. Yeah. What the heck? Taking a whole parking lot. What do you mean parking lot? Parking spot would be the accurate word. I don’t think we’re short on space right now. Connect. I’m have to force it to connect. Sometimes things being wireless is very annoying. Why are you not connecting? You should just automatically go wireless mic. Come on. Why works until it doesn’t work? It’s currently not working and it refuses to pair. Got my camera in pairing mode. Got my mic in pairing mode. And we’re just staring at it doing nothing. DJI Mic 2 not found. Well, that is so helpful. I love it. Reconnect. You’re flashing blue quickly. That means you’re in pairing mode. So, pair. Pair. I shouldn’t even have to do this. It should just pair when I turn it on. Okay. Excuse me. Come on, turn on. Do something. like anything. You’re just sitting there with a power button picture on your screen. Hello. She’s [ __ ] All right, I’m going to have to like pull the battery out or something. Still won’t pair automatically. Uh, confirm. All right, it’s connected. What an annoying system this is. Chocolate milk. Chocolate milk is over here. So is my toothpaste. Once I get somewhere out of town, I’m going to brush my teeth cuz wait, this isn’t on. Is this on? Yeah. And that’s on. There we go. [Music] What did I just press record? Okay. Feels toasty out today, but it’s like 16° or something. My toothpaste. No. Don’t do that. Don’t Don’t put more weight in the front. Chocolate nut strapped. Toothpaste is on the ground. Oh, I got to put sunscreen on. Let’s do that. [Music] My nose was looking a little red at the end of yesterday. So, I put sunscreen on like once every two hours. I put it on every like once a day. I’m very bad at it. Little sloppy. Okay. Should I brush your toothpaste and chocolate milk here? Well, I want to brush my teeth, but um I’d just be spitting out my toothpaste in a parking lot, which seems less appropriate. Is that the toothpaste? Yeah. I like rubbing toothpaste into my skin cuz it’s nice and it’s just like lightly abrasive and like I got lots of mosquito bites and the little abrasive pieces in the toothpaste helps like naturally itch my skin throughout the day. Yeah, S Sarah still burns even though she applies every 2 hours. It’s impressive. Now, she is like one of the palest people in the world, so it’s not that surprising, but it is interesting. [Applause] Test team testing super chat at $10. Any emulated test will not show in activity feed. Right. Yeah, I don’t see it in the activity feed. But like for YouTube and for kick stuff, I hear it, but I don’t see it in the activity feed. [Applause] You should buy mosquito protect product. I do. I have DE and a mesh headcreen if I need to use it. I’ve only used it like twice or something. It’s not showing in your YouTube chat. That’s why. Must be saying YouTube. Let me check. Ah, okay. All right. That that that there. There. There. Ears. Neck. Nose. Face. Toes. Why would you want to protect the mosquitoes? Like in theory, bugs are like part of the food chain. So if you kill all mosquitoes, you’re going to kill out other animals. Theoretically, I still vote we eliminate ticks as a whole. Let’s just remove them. What animals are reliant on ticks as their main food source? We’ll just have to consider that a cost of our improved livelihood. streams not use stream elements for YouTube events. Ah, okay. It just goes through the chat. Takes a hard defend, I must say. Even though I’m a biologist, what relies on ticks? Don’t like psums eat ticks? What else? Lizards eat ticks. But is that just like a small part of their food source or are they like exclusively eating ticks? [Music] But like, wouldn’t it be so nice if you could just like go outside and like walk through tall grass and you know like that idealic scene where you’re like, “Hey, hey, nice. Thank you. I’ve been following you since you came to Finland on the stream.” Yes. Oh, cool. What do you do? But you don’t read the YouTube comments. No, I read them. They just There’s just less of them. YouTube talk. I want to see YouTube. All right. Have a great day. See, the Finnish viewer interactions are short and sweet. All right. Said I don’t read YouTube comments. I’m offended. I read YouTube comments. Someone in YouTube say something or I’m gonna play another sad song. I’m gonna play Say something. I’m giving up on you. Don’t say that I don’t read you. How can I respond when you don’t say anything? Say something. I’m giving up on you. [Music] Wait, my toothpaste. It’s on the ground. It’s going in my snack bag [Music] cuz it’s a tasty snack. Who doesn’t like to just squirt some toothpaste in their mouth when they’re feeling a little snackish? YouTube did say something now. Wait, no, I’m not connected to YouTube. Fiverr connections. YouTube reconnect. Now, you have to manually connect to YouTube after you go live, right? No, it usually just works. Okay. I didn’t have YouTube connected today. All right, YouTube. I see you now. Okay. It usually just connects cuz like I’ll pull up Stream Buddy, it’s like no YouTube live stream found or some kind of message and I go live and it’s like connected to YouTube. I swear it usually does that. I have to blame someone else, not myself. So, that YouTube chatter YouTube viewer that came by was actually right. I haven’t been reading YouTube chat today. I had it yesterday. If you have Stream Buddy on before you go live, you need to manually connect. If you open stream buddy after you are live, it will automatically do it before I go live. There’s no life before YouTube. Oh god. What is going on here? Maps. Okay. I feel like my Google Maps is like lagging. All right. Navigate me to Olu. Ulu. Why is it not doing the split screen thing? It always just goes in the little corner, but it’s not doing it right now. I want to be able to see my navigation. Why is everything not working? filtered out kick subs. I didn’t filter out kick subs. They’re by default were turned off or something. I didn’t ever turn it off. Okay. Well, okay. Apparently, my Google Maps is not doing the split screeny thing that it likes to do. Just ride down this road and hope for the best. All right. Noted. I swear I’m not changing anything and then things will work and then it will just stop working. He just hates kick. No, kick’s fine most of the time and not fine some of the times. Twitch gets all the love. Okay. But like we’ll go entire like long periods of time with only having Twitch chat. So it might look like Twitch gets all the love because it’s with the most active chat room and I’m interacting with them because they’re talking and kicks the second most popular chat room and YouTube is the least chatty. Even though we usually end up with like 100 to 200 viewers in the middle of the day on YouTube, they’re just not super social. Wait, I don’t mean to offend. If you’re watching on YouTube right now, I feel like there’s less of a chatting culture on YouTube live streams. Comes with more language and smoke signals. See, that’s YouTube chat. I’m I’m reading YouTube chat. All right. I don’t ignore you except for when I accidentally ignore you. It’s not intentional. It’s accidental ignoring. Uh sorry, I thought I might have to go over there. Think we just go to this. Oh god. Maybe not. See, now I don’t have my navigation app because it’s not doing the split screeny thing. Google what changed. I don’t understand. Okay, I guess I’ll turn the audio on for it then if I can’t see it. Turn right. Oh god, this is going to be worse. Have to use a siren to be noticed. Following the road. YouTube viewers used to other streamers to be ignored. So I rather Is that a common thing? The only reason you get ignored is cuz it’s like I’m not used to having it integrated as in sometimes it’s not working and I don’t notice that there’s not YouTube chat coming through. It’s not intentional. It’s just tech. 69 viewers on kick. Look at us go. That’s a nice amount of viewers. Oh, wait. Gas station, solar panel cleaning. I could put my bikini on, switch to pools, beaches, and bikinis on kick and do a nice uh car button said bike wash scene like in uh the movie Dodgeball. Wow, this is a very like unserviced gas station. There ain’t much here. I have a feeling they’re not going to have my little squeegee thing. Where’s my cabinet? I don’t think they have it. Much disappointment. I know you’re upset. I went to a gas station. You should set up view counts for each platform in your stream body. If the YouTube one is zero, you’re not connected to PC. That sounds like a good idea. And I’m probably going to forget, but I should do that. [Music] ebike tour soon. Why would we do that? I like getting there from A to B on my under my own power. Sometimes it’s a struggle, but it’s satisfying. Oolu. Look, he’s doing a sign that’s like pedestrian and bike in the direction of Olu. Olu. Oolu. Okay. You’re in a solar panel. Yeah, but I use the solar for broadcasting purposes. Aloo. Ola. Ola. Aloo. Oo. Does anyone have a free Prime sub? Oo. Oh my lord, these finished roads though. Hold up. That sign says left for pedestrians and bike to Olu. Google Maps lady, what does this mean? She says stay straight. Well, I’m confused. Who do I trust? I kind of want to see if I can follow these signs, but Google Maps lady is going to be super pissed. She keeps going at me. The sign. Signs everywhere. A sign marking up the scenery. Make do this. Don’t do that. Can’t you read the sign? Oh, she’s pissed. If 100 meters, turn right. Turn right. This looks nice. 200 meters. Continue following the road. Everything’s so alive right now. It’s so green. Now, which way signs? I need to continue telling me. I feel like it’s right. Is it? No, it’s straight. Okay. Olu signs guide me. Meters, turn left. See, Tanya knows her place here. She just knows the answer. So, we found Finnish suburbia. A lot of different house styles. I like this brick house. Why is there so many chimneys? Are those Alanas? There’s four of them. It’s a lot of chimneys. Dwarf feet a highlighted message. I see that thanks to stream buddy. You should be careful. Is this going back to the getting hit by cars thing? Are you going to hit me with your car? Fireplaces. It was just like a small rancher house and it had four fireplaces. That seems excessive. Then turn right. Then turn right. That sign says go down here for Olu. I’m following the official signs. Turn right. Did that count as turning right? Wow. That was actually correct. Best bike I can get for under $200. The best used bike you can find in decent mechanical working order. Unless you are a capable mechanic yourself. Then get hit by car planted by mods. PL hit by cart planted by mods. Don’t pass this off on mods. You’re not even a mod. It’s just you $200. Like you can probably find a reasonableish used bike depending on your market. In a small town I feel like you can probably get a reasonable used bike for 200 bucks. I can also go this all the way. I doubt it goes that far, but who knows? Maybe. I think I technically have right of way. Yay. But so far, this has been nice. It’s not the way Google Maps has told me to take, but it’s been good. there. If you had to compete in something, what would you compete in? Baking, sport, or shit-talking? I only think I’m okay at shit-talking to specific people that I know well enough. Some people can [ __ ] talk anyone. I [ __ ] talk you and Sarah. some friends from like high school and certain Twitch chatters. Okay, most of Twitch chat occasionally kick chat kick gooners. Okay, most people never YouTube chat cuz he doesn’t read it. I read it. I didn’t talk about YouTube chat, but I feel like I haven’t had too much antagonizing YouTube chat. But you wouldn’t compete in anything. Well, I’d actually like to I think it’d be fun for me to just personal achievement wise to like do some kind of endurance race. Not expecting to like place very high, but just to complete it. Obvious one would be some kind of cycling thing. There’s this like bike ride around that big lake in Sweden. It’s like 300 km, something like that. I think that’d be fun. You can do that next year. Should up the gear. I like a high cadence. I like a 90-ish cadence for endurance cycling. That’s also generally recommended. Signing up for an iron man. I can’t really swim. Like I can tread water, but I don’t like swim for distance. or really run for distance or really do anything but cycling for distance. Just want to say that YouTube when I went to K market and saw you well honestly that was very helpful because then I realized my YouTube wasn’t connected today. It was yesterday, but I’m like, “No, I talked to YouTube chat.” Because generally when I look at my chat, I don’t actually look at the source of it. What is this little building? It’s cute. Um, but like I just respond to chat indiscriminately. If it’s some kind of degenerate chat, then I uh check out where it’s coming from, expecting kick. It wasn’t listening, but I assume it’s this, right? Yeah. Continue for 2 km. It’s a manual action every day. Well, I never have done that and it works. Hey, what do you say? Anyway, it was it’s good that you brought it up because it brought up the conversation. We figured out my chat was disconnected. He said, “Hi, ugly.” What? Although when stream Buddy does crash and I pull it back up and it loads like the last 50 YouTube messages and then all the other messages are above that. So if I like miss some chat and I want to like check chat when stream buddy crashes and I pull it back up. I gotta scroll through the past like several hours of YouTube chat to find the most recent other chat. Moy means hey. I feel like he said more than moy. Feel like there’s multiple syllables in there. stream never crashes. Look at my logs. Look at them. Exactly. There are none. What do you mean there are none? Pretty sure it’s crashed today. It’s usually a few times a day. only 125 just now on YouTube. Like 125 viewers on YouTube. Only get logs when it actually crashes. What if your logging system crashes before it can send it? Why was the reach and newslet concerned about your health? I don’t know cuz I’m like I was waiting for a question and they kind of just said a statement that they were concerned and I’m like thank you for your concern. What do you want from me? I probably need media training. No matter what the question, comment or concern, there’s like a way to politically respond. Well, but I don’t know. Send them when you restart it. Oh. Uh-oh. Wish more street signs and stuff were in English for tourists. Like they’re just town names pretty much, which doesn’t need to be translated. So here it’s it’s fine. Like it’s helpful like say in like Japan and Tokyo when you’re trying to navigate the uh train stations and stuff like that. They’ll have like translations so it’s not just like Japanese characters everywhere. Notably that’s hard for me to read best watching Kimmy Reichen. See, but that’s what made him so good, right? 200 me was his lack about caring about media. There’s a gas station and I cleaned my solar panel. Notice that’s not the journey that takes strength, but the speed that takes energy. That sounds rather philosophical and above my head. It’s above my pay grade. This looks like a bigger gas station. They’re going to have a a something guaranteed. We say turn right. I’m going to this gas station. Don’t yell at me too much, Google Maps lady. I want to clean my solar panel. She’s dirty. In 400 m, make a U-turn. What? What does it mean in 400 meters? Why would I go 400 meters and make a U-turn? Don’t turn right. We’re just going to the gas station here to try and find a a scrubby rubby dubby for my solar panel. Ah, over here. Semicolon and 300 m. Continue forward. I think this is the wrong voice, but can it say burger? Brian will return with burgers. burger. Oh, it’s a little narrow. Hey, good. Oh, yeah. Let’s go this way. Tire tire pressure tires only. Please stop. I think there’s like paper towels that they actual gas stuff somewhere. There you go. 4 in W gas ched 100 bits stream Bundy is perfect streaming software. How does it even compare? Solar powering this wonderful broadcast. Eating is important. We will not fast. Finnish hospitality has been great. We venture forward. Chances are fate. Oz for Hawks with the daily poetry. Keeping it relevant with the perfect stream buddy. If ever you hear that stream’s perfect. Okay. You approve this message. There you go. You got included hose water. It’s pretty premium. [Music] from Kimmy. It was nice meeting at the harbor. Glad we found you. Wait, were you the uh mother and son that were chatting? Uh Hannah’s [ __ ] Anyway, thanks for the chat. Thanks for coming by saying hi. Sometimes people will like come up and they’ll just like stand like 10 meters away and just like stare into my soul. They’re actually just looking at the bike cuz they’re like, “What is that? What’s going on?” Um, it’s nice when people come up and and and say hi. aiming to get some lulu today. Uh hopefully we’re trying to get sauna as many days as possible on this trip. We’ve done pretty good so far. We’ve siloed the majority of days. I’m trying to decide if I want to get like a sports drink for this ride. Or if I just The water’s fine. Water’s probably fine. There’s probably some shops along the way, too. It’s fine. Fans from small towns love to stare. I’m like, I’m I am not offended by the people just staring at me. Like it makes sense. I have weird stuff going on. people. Look, it’s not offensive, but like I know they have questions and I have answers and we can have a nice pleasant conversation. Interesting. Uh, I should have I should have pointed it in the sun like exactly and then measured before and after and see if it if it was like a useful difference. It looks better now. It was looking pretty gross. Um, but yeah, next time it gets dirty, I need to be reminded. Do a before and after test. Telling you sound a tent. I would like to try one. Lulu in Olu. Olu. Got it. Where’d you stay? Right at Trump, Arctic Circle of Norway. And now we’re here. Okay. Anyway, we’re good to go. Wait, I want to brush my teeth. Maybe that’s a weird thing to say, but I’m I didn’t brush my teeth last night or this morning cuz I ran out of toothpaste. And now I bought toothpaste. So now I can brush my teeth. Dental hygiene is important. My first sponsor on this Twitch stream, a Norwegian dentist. I’m not sponsored by them anymore. Apparently, I didn’t bring them enough business. No, actually the the viewer that was the Norwegian dentist um moved dental offices, so I lost my sponsorship. Now we’re sponsored by an eim company. This stream is brought to you by SY. I think doing a sponsored ad pitch while brushing my teeth is the best time. Wow. Clean mouth. It felt really gross going to bed without brushing my teeth cuz I ran out in Roveni. Threw out my toothpaste. It’s gone. And then I was supposed to get some in Roveni, but then I forgot. And then last night I’m like, I’m going to go brush my teeth. And there was no toothpaste. No sink in the gas station. I don’t really care. I just got to spit. I don’t really need a sink. I didn’t even snot. I just spit some toothpaste out. All right, we can continue the bike tour with fresher teeth, breath, mouth, fresher mouth. A very fresh mouth. Also, this is very leany. Supposed to be that. Yeah, it should be good. So, we just go that way, I assume. Guys will tell me if I’m going the wrong way. Add it to the counter. Now you have to snot. I always snot over my right shoulder, which puts it away from the camera. If you talk like that, I’m going to snot over my left shoulder, right into your eyes. That would be such a clip. If I got like a good one, like one of the ones with like density and you can hear it like smack into the ground, but like I had pinpoint accuracy and got it right on the camera. Money shot right there. Have you seen any trees? I don’t think there’s any trees in Finland. Left onto Route 925. Wow, I got such a clean solar panel. I can feel the watts just coming out right now. What? trying to pedal to the cadence of this bird chirp. My bike’s getting squeaky again. Dang it. Lube the chain. That’s not chain rub. Well, okay. The chain isn’t in the smoothest state, but the squeak isn’t chain. A U-turn. Uh-oh. She’s pissed. I assume this is still the right way. I think they’re still on the sign that said we go to Ulu. Olu. Probably just turn my Google Maps lady off. She’s really mad. She doesn’t think I can go this way. Exit. Done with you. Also, you’re not doing like my normal map navigation. Just keep straight. But I got to turn up here. I assume left and don’t hit cross traffic. All right, seems good. Then when are we going? We’re going to Helsinki and then we’re taking a ferry to Estonia. Do you like the trains? Yeah, I guess. Uh-oh. Are you peeing? Okay, you’re done. Whatever you are doing, you’re done. Oh, it’s the trike man. I don’t ride very many trains, but I do like trains. I’d take a train over a bus any day. Stelling setup works so far. Uh we were using it for a good chunk of yesterday. In the north there isn’t that many satellites, so when there’s none within line of sight around us, it of course doesn’t really work. Hey, how’s the bike fitting? I kind of moved it back to where it was. They just moved the seat down a little bit, but I like my higher seat. Just overtaking a tricycle. I don’t know what’s squeaking now. Only work after the Baltics. Even Estonia Latith. What do you mean in the Baltics? That’s so south. More wheels equals more speed. We both have three wheels though. Why am I faster? Are you a perma? No. after. Well, that’s silly. [Applause] But at least um if we go through Germany, we’ll actually be able to use internet in Germany if we’re not in the middle of a forest cuz cellular doesn’t work there. So, I have to rely on in satellite. You got one wheel more. Describe. I have two wheels on a bicycle and one wheel on a trailer. That’s three wheels. That guy’s riding a tricycle, which is what? Three wheels on a tricycle. I did the math. Oh, Parma. No, I will smack you. These are riding right by my leg. They’re speedy. Horse flies. They suck. Well, they bite. Arma can fly 60. Are they really that fast? That’s crazy. cuz yeah, like I’ll be going downhill like gradual downhill at like 40 and they’ll just be like circling around me. So I guess that makes sense behind you. There were so many like all flies, every type of biting insect when we did the horseback archery a few days back. Can see it. They just follow forever and they usually like it takes a bit for them to like land and bite on you, but like it’s more like psychological torture. You know how harsh their bite can be and they just follow you forever. It’s just mean planning on Google Maps. Do we have a command for the route now? You guys voted on a route. Karma is fitness coach for northern animals. But then the animals wouldn’t be in good enough shape to survive the winter. I feel that way, too. They make me ride a little bit faster cuz in my mind, I’m like, if I ride faster, then I’ll get away from them. They can fly a whole lot faster than I can ride. Unless I get like a real big hill and then I’ll probably get a little bit away. Although, if it’s 60 km an hour, my speed limit on this bike is 71. So, It’s a stealth fighter version. Can’t hear them. They hurt a lot as well. Is that like what are they called? like a Gen 5 um fighter aircraft, but there’s the bug version of that. They got stealth five. What’s the F-35? Yeah. Gen 5 power. So far, this has been really nice riding. This looks pretty new. really painful when they when you hit them on a motorcycle. I bet they are. Yeah. Which way do I go? Under or over? Tell me. I don’t know which side has a path. I don’t know if that just goes to a bus stop or bike lane instead of the main road. Well, the infrastructure is here. I’d like to use it. Don’t get me Parma. It’s saying stay on this side. Google Maps, but she gets mad about everything. Cuz until this point there’s like signs at intersections that are like Olu that way. Where you going? Olu, right? For sure. Like I know eventually with garages whether we go underneath and right or if we go right before we go under the highway. Why people like your veil roots? Like some your roots are well marked and others aren’t at all. On Twitch, we are only missing 172 followers to get to 150,000 followers. So, if you haven’t followed yet, please consider doing so. There are also only 16 more subs to reach the monthly income goal on Twitch, so Trevor can continue to make content and pay Tony a smile. Monthly income goal. All right.

Cromwell with the 20 month resub. Thank you. Oh, my bell’s sounding good right now. Do you want to bike across the entire USA? No, but I’ll do you one better. I rode a bike across the entirety of Canada cuz Canada is wider. Thanks for the subs everyone. Wow. Slow one just gifted five subs to the Sloan with the five gifted subs. Thank you very much for the five gift subs and your gift to sub up to the hitchikers. It’s very kindly much appreciated. Tribe Craig just subscribed. Thank you. Tribe called Craig also with the sub. Welcome to the hitchhikers. Seven more subs. Can we do it? Pause. Cap. All right. I don’t even know if this is the right way. I’m a little bit confused as to where I’m going. Kahua just subscribed with Twitch Prime. Kahua with the twomon prime. Much appreciated. It’s like an area that was partly under the sea just 500 years ago. After the ice age, the land is still rising 1 to 2 centimeters a year. It’s pretty good. like a good amount of like like all the land here is rising one to two centimeters should be good the route all hopefully otherwise I have to blame someone make 100 bits man good to see you thanks for 100 bits oh we got a hype train level three. Thanks for all the subs and bits. A random bench. It seems so must be like a bus stop. But why over there? Why there? I’ll take the blame for $20. Wow, that’s pretty cheap for taking the blame. All the Nordics are rising several millimeters per year. Nordics rise up and they’re like, “Yeah, sure. Couple millimeters a year. Take it or leave it.” Oh, I hit a butterfly. It looked okay. Does he sleep outside? Yeah, I sleep in a tent most nights. He milking kick subs though. I got 25 gifted subs on kick today and almost doubled my kick sub count. Did you have trouble life? Where do you charge your electronics? Where is Hey, Kit Chat, I see you. You have a sub goal as well. It’s 80 subs. We are currently on 52 subs. Let’s get it. Still founders available kick. Um, we might have a couple. I think you have 50 founders badges, but gifted subs don’t count towards that. This is how I charge all my batteries. Wait, it’s like massive. They all say that. I can’t help if it’s big. Four guy brush just resubscribed for 3 months. No jumping. F guy brush. Thanks for the three months. Someone wash that solar panel. I just did. I just did. Took it to a gas station. Used the windshield wiper fluid. Little scrubby thing. Before we chat, where are you going Norway? We’re coming from Norway. We started in Trumso, Norway in the Arctic Circle and we’re working our way south. So, we’re heading to Helsinki right now and then Estonia, Latia, Lithuania that way. Miss London, thanks for the Fiverr. Shoot to some of the uh new friends he made in Finland. All right, let’s let’s see. Cake needs emotes for more subs. Tanya, can you upload my emotes? Wow, look at this car. It’s funky. right as it drops. Eastern route of Finland, south to north. Yeah. No, it be good to hit another route on another trip. I do enjoy Finland. It’s been a good time. This is a really nice ride to ride on. Like we are right next to the highway, so you just hear the sounds of highway traffic, but there’s barely any cars on this road. YouTube, if you want, you can become a member. If you do, your wiener will get bigger. It’s a scientifically proven fact. Don’t know how to get the emote files. I thought you said you’d figured that out. Also, Tanya, what the [ __ ] throwing down. I’ll link her to the website. Yeah, I’m pretty sure we me and Tanya talked about this. and the road’s in like good shape. It’s nice. Chance to enjoy a real finished sauna. If not, you should try to I’ve tried to sound as many days as possible. I’ve done the m majority. I forget what the count is now on what percentage of days we’ve sauna in Finland, but it’s been most of them. Most of them have just been electric sauna, but we did a woodfired one at Anakah’s place where I made my wool hat. That was nice. bigger. Can barely walk as it is. Butterface, better known as tripod here. Just very impressive. Try smoked sauna. That is my goal. I want to try smoke sauna before I leave. Before I leave Finland. Nice not having to worry about getting rides for a change. If I don’t have a deadline when hitchhiking, I don’t I’m not really worried about getting a ride. I’ll always get a ride. The TwitchCon trips where we have a deadline, then we can start worrying. Don’t get hit by a car. Great success. Charge my mic. It’s probably getting low. Make sure it’s fine. In most case, wood burning sound is a better lu. Uh, yeah, I’ve only done one wood burning one and I I liked it and I do think the Lulu was different in it. So, a smoother ride. Although, I do kind of like the just like the boom of a harsh lalu. [Applause] All right, just uh plugging in a microphone. [Applause] [Music] There we go. Actually, I’ll have a drink, too. All right. Don’t do the snot command. That was making up for the snot when I was actually just spitting out toothpaste earlier. I owed you guys one or Eastern Europe is great for hitchhiking. Um, so what would be considered Eastern Europe? I’ve hitchhiked through like Poland, Lithuania, Latia. Does that count? I don’t know. I feel like whenever you organize countries as like eastern, western, northern, southern Europe, then people start fighting about what counts as what. Anyway, the hitchhiking is fine in there. Oh, blood $15. Thank you. Thanks for the $15. Oh, we don’t do the part. Ah, you did the slot command. [Music] rider. Is that for the uh the little low rider hot rod that we just saw? [Music] Hey, you like fishing? I’m not much of a fisher, although I think I would like fishing if I actually got down and started doing it. I compare hitchhiking to fishing, you know, like I try to present myself in a nice friendly way so people driving past would consider maybe pulling over for me. That’s my lure. That’s my bait. They get out there with my thumb. That’s me casting out the line. And then we wait just for the chill riding experience. Ah, okay. Take a little trip. Take a little trip. Take a little trip and see. Take a little trip. Take a little trip. Take a little trip with me. [Music] And then you eat the couch. Wait, no eating. That’s a hitchhiking. No. No. Floating sound on Ulu River. Should go there. Maybe we will. Hey. What’s that? What do you mean? Solar. Solar. Sol. Solar. Yeah. Well, no. Not electric. Yes. All legs. Electric is for cameras. Yes. Yes. Yes. Where are you coming? From Norway. Norway. Okay. But I’m from Canada. What? I’m from Canada though. What? Canadian. Canada. Canada. United States. Open. Okay. I I was here. I 5 kilometers my hole. Oh. 5 km. Is this way? Okay. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, okay. Good ride. Okay. Okay. DRS. Yeah, this is my drag reduction system. I’m just stealing your draft. 32 that how much? How much kilo? Kilogram for the trailer? Yes, I think it’s uh 15 16 17 for trailer and solar. Yes. And then my gear. Very heavy. It’s no heat. Carbon steel. No carbon. Uh no secret. This is carbon. This is a steel. Steel. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Chromali. There is now called olu. Olu. Yeah. Yeah. Tonight. Uh probably tonight. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. 80 kilometers. Yeah. Do you get a road like this all the way? Yes. I go here, but you must turn left a circle route. Road road. Cycle road. Yes. Yes. Here. Yeah. Go. Oh, okay. Okay. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. I go every every day 30 30 kilome. Oh yeah. I am very old man. You’re in good shape though. Oh yes. Very healthy. I’m a 55 70 35 old 75. Yes. Wow. And you ride 30 km a day? A trainer. I’m a trainer. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. You go this way. Yes. I go home and I go this way. This This is yours. Okay. Okay. Okay. Oh, okay. Hey, byebye. Thank you. 75. He’s killing it. I was having fun fun fun drafting off of him. I saw him like look back a couple times. I’m like, “Okay, are you fair? Saved me a few watts. You made it awkward.” No, I didn’t. I was just saving some watts. He’d arrow bars, too. He did. When he passed me initially and I drafted him, he got into his arrows. Holy biggest hill in Finland. Now we go on the road. It’s the end of my cycling infrastructure for now, but we just I’m guessing this is right. Hopefully there’s you thinking you’re going to quit biking at 35. When did I say that? Most recent thing I’ve said about like being older and biking is not wanting to give up my hobbies. And if I have a kid, that’ll probably me riding my bike with a trailer with my kid in it. Hopefully this goes the correct way. Hopefully there’s signage when we actually turn. Oh, I see the bike path. The bike sign. Yeah. Here we go. This one. Turn right. There it is. Olu 96. I think the car sign said it was like 80 kilometers, but I guess our biking directions do some uh zigzagging. Anyway, this looks like a nice riding road apps like Kimoot for bike routes. Uh yeah. Yeah. No, I in general found commute to be better. I just liked how Google Maps historically would do like a little picture and picture thumbnail in the corner cuz I usually don’t need navigation like permanently fixed big on my screen. So I can put Google Maps like in the corner real small. So I’ve been told now that we’re further south there’s like good bit of ticks in the bushes here which is sad. I like to be in the Arctic Circle where there’s no ticks. Go through town SEMA if you want to vote highway. That’s why it’s longer. Okay. Snipers can check for ticks. The sniper this morning before I started the stream came in time for the morning tick check. a normal road back in the base. Like, was this the main road or just the normal road? I’m guessing there won’t be much traffic on this road, which is nice. It’s pretty much just like riding on my own bike path. worry about wild animals? Not really. Like Canada has much more wild animals to be worried about than this part of Finland. Can split screen any app. Yeah, but then it actually is like fixed. The Google Maps one’s just like a little tiny box in the sky, so it doesn’t take up more space than necessary. Never done RagBry. I’ve wanted to for a while, but I won’t for presumably the next few years. As a Canadian, I ain’t going to America. Not spending my tourism dollars there, which I’m sad about as I like America. Always had good trips there. double EU trip this year probably like I’m not going to TwitchCon San Diego this year so I want to be doing something instead of a TwitchCon But so that’s like September back in Europe after 90-day visa. 90 days. I get 90 days in a 180day period. think a little effort due to heature. Well, I’m touring. I’m like I’m not putting out 100% FTP power like and trying to kill myself. I’m not literally figuratively. I’m just maintaining a amount of output that I can do for hours and hours and hours all day and then sleep and then continue and do it again. Generally touring isn’t really like racing all out pace. It’s uh whatever you feel is maintainable. A more tours northbounds. Hey, Norwegian. Oh, trailers. Oh, my chat disconnected. International Sims doing international things. Well, the stream’s still live. It’s just my uh international sim gave up on life. We come back one year have Canada flag. No, but maybe I should. There it is. We’re back. Imagine working for an American company own refuse to spend money in said country for what an idea. I don’t work for Twitch. I just stream on Twitch. But it shouldn’t be that complicated. If a country threatens to annex your country where you’re from, generally that sour relationships with that country and people from that country will be like, “Eh, I’m going to skip having a fun tourism excursion in that country that’s threatening to annex the country you’re from. It isn’t really complicated. Heat. Heat. uh shortly after see leaving Lapland and enter north. I don’t want to try and pronounce that region. officially leaving the wild north behind. Oh, we’re actually going to be leaving Lapland. All right. Look at this stack of wood. If I needed firewood, swear to get it. Damn They’re just random benches just on the these random small roads. I like it. This road’s great, though. wind turbines. Bench was the center of SEMO. Bear is not that rare. the more north you go I’ve seen bears in the wild and bears just really don’t want much to do with you. I don’t know. I’m from a part of Canada with lots of bears. Generally they hear you, they run away. I’m just not really that worried about bears as much as my chat on Twitch and YouTube and kick with like the monk ass about bears. They just they just don’t really want to be around you. You now have kick emotes. Hey, kick. You have emotes. Thanks, Tanya. Could have avoided that. getting followed by a Parma. Zigzagging gravel roads are shoulder of busy main road after SEMA. Oh no. This bike isn’t really the best for gravel roads. It’s very heavy and my tires are not really gravel roady and everything just rattles like crazy. Bears isn’t feeling huge compared to yours in Canada. Like we have grizzly bears in Canada. Feel like that’s a bold claim to just say like in total the bears are much bigger here. Get out of here, Palmer. hanging out by the camera. Can see the shadow. That’s how I know they’re on me. Get out of here. Rude dudes. All of a sudden, gust of headwind. Yeah, maybe the parama went for those two guys. They’re an easier target. On your helmet. Get out of here. I need to check the chat delay. I think it’s already extreme. Got to message my server people again. Carver 7, you were gifted a tier one sub to Palmer. We have given two subs in the channel. Carvtor, thanks for the gifted sub to Parma. I don’t want the farmer to be a subscriber to my channel. They’re not welcome here. Should buy a bug repellent. Parma don’t care about de. They don’t give a [ __ ] because of my checking the clips in studio mode earlier caused the massive delay. See, the only way to bring it back is to restart the stream, right? Like, you can’t just like somehow kick it back into modern era. You guys are pretty much watching a VOD right now. Ah, that sucks. I should see if they’ve messaged me cuz for some things they’re like, it’s hard for us to tell if you’re not live. Well, I told them I’m live. It’s the route from Simo. Apparently, I can either ride on the highway illegally and that’s the easy route or I can do like gravel sandy roads. We made it. Bump in town. I don’t think I need anything. No horse left today. No, they’ve been following me. Or add me in the support DM. Oh, can I do that? Do that here. Use Parma spray off. They don’t think it’s a thing. I don’t think [Music] How do I do that? Uh, okay. Uh, here members. Can I add a member? How do I add a member? Search. Mute members to profile. Close DM. Mute. Commerce. Mark is red. How do I add you? How does this cord work? It’s a mystery to me. Just tell them to contact me if they need more info. They know me. Okay. Well, just tell them to contact me if they need more info. They know me. All right. Wyver told me to tell you to contact him if you need more info. That’s normal messages. [Music] Damn. So much delay. Let’s let let me test the delay. It’s that electric panel. How much power does it get? It’s a 225 watt panel. Okay. I’m scared to test, but I want to know. I can approximately know what kind of delay we’re working with, which is really shitty. Hit screen with screen buddy. Okay, I’m going to say a number and as soon as you hear the number, you type it in chat. 15. So bad. No, it’s so bad. Okay, 20 21 seconds. That’s so It’s not even a live stream anymore. I got to take on my YouTube title. It says like live and then my title. I got to get rid of the live part. We ain’t live. This is like yesterday. yesterday’s live stream and just restart stream. But then uh like all our numbers will go. Now that you’ve stopped, set up the info bars to show view count. Then you know when YouTube is not live. Go to settings greater than information bar greater than add three widgets for YouTube, Twitch, and kick. Information bar settings. Information bars. Bottom bar. View. Wait, was it view count? Three widgets for you to twitch a kick. Hey, how you doing? All right. And you? Good. Yeah. You going a long way? Uh yeah, like to Baltics. So Estonia about Lithuania. Yeah. Well, are you NordCap? Cameras? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. One front, one back. I make a live stream of uh the bike tour. So, all right. So, it’s on now. Yeah, we’re live. There’s like a whole chat room and stuff over here. All right. Yeah, fair enough. And uh you going all the way to Northcap? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I started in South Africa. What? What? No way. 9 months. Nine months from South Africa. What route did you take to Africa? I I could like talk to you for like hours about trying to get anywhere. Yeah. Um bit of stuff though. Yeah. As well. What’s that? You’re hiking as well. You got boots and all sorts. Yeah. This is two-part trip. I flew to Tormos, Norway and then I hitchhiked to um the Netherlands for convention and then flew back cuz my bike was parked in Thorso and then started my bike tour. So I’m heavy. So on flat it’s not so bad. Anytime we’re going uphill that becomes a bit slower. That’s tough. And then uh North Cap and then are you finishing there? Are you going to ride back through Norway south or? Yeah, I don’t know yet. I might hitchhike or I might ride back. Yeah, my partner’s waiting in Germany. Like, and you’ve been gone long enough. 9 months. Oh, no. No. She She was with me most of the way. Oh, was she? Yeah. We just split up in Slovenia. Oh, okay. Yeah. So, she’s she’s gone to Italy, Germany with some friends. Yeah. Would you recommend like a bike tour through Africa or was that like Yeah, it was good fun. It It was good fun. Yeah. It’s a little bit harder than here. I would think so. Yeah. Yeah. The roads aren’t as nice. The people are challenging sometimes. Yeah. anywhere in particular that stand stood out as good or bad there? Uh, they’re all different, right? Namibia. The desert’s pretty hot in Namibia. Yeah. Okay. I don’t think I’ve met anyone in person that’s done like a tour length of Africa, so that’s cool to me. Yeah. Yeah. Just I saw you clearly going somewhere. Yeah. No, long trip. So, well, not long trip, like a two-month trip. Yeah, it’s a long way. Yeah. Was this your first big bike tour? You better not ignore your your Oh, no. It’s okay. It’s very interesting occurrence to uh How do you do with all the power? So, this solar panel? Yeah. Is that can’t be enough for cameras and Well, it’s a 225 watt solar panel. So, depends like it’s it’s overkill on a sunny day like today. But on a cloudy day, it gets me enough to not have to rely on plugging to like the power grid cuz then when we get more out, they’re like this Starlink panel on the back. So, bike series changed. No, it’s not my first trip. No, third one. Okay. Yeah. Traveled around a bit. I always wanted a solar panel, but not that big. This is actually meant for solar powered ebike racing. Yeah. Okay. Okay. This is a thing they do every year called Sunrip, and people make funky bikes or ebikes with like solar panel awnings and crazy stuff like that, and then they race them. Star links on the back. No, they don’t live stream. That’s crazy. Yeah. Cool. All right. Well, I won’t keep you. Enjoy the ride. All these people there you want to bite to South Africa. Who’s that? Shadow Panda. Yeah. Yeah. Come on. Let’s go. I’ve already done it though. I don’t want to do that again. One and done. You can go back if you want. I said that I rode across Canada. I’m like, I don’t see the need to do that again. I’m glad I did it, but once was a mess. Canada. Canada. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, I hitchhiked across Canada, but I’m Oh, you did? I don’t know if I’m going to cycle across. My channel on this platform is called Hitch cuz I the main thing I broadcast is hitchhiking. Okay. In different countries. So, Oh, so you live stream hitchhiking? Yeah. Yeah. Really? Pick you up. I pull over and then I have to like be like, “Hey, I make a live video documentary about like about what it’s like to hitchhike. I have a camera with me. Is that okay to have?” Yes or no? And then carry on. Yeah. Done it for 7 years. Really? Yeah. This is my job. Welcome to my office. If you can make it work, why not? Yeah. That was pretty fun. Anyway, enjoy the rest of your trip, man. Yeah. All right. Have fun. We’ll do. You, too. You can make a career out of this. Peace. Worked so far. All right. See you. Cheers. See you. Oh, wait. I was going to change things on my stream body. and you even bike across Africa. Oh, you pedal until you leave Africa. Dr. Yellow just gifted seven subs to the community. Dr. Yellow with the seven gifted subs. Thank you very much. If you’re gifted sub, welcome to the hitchiker. Imagine saying, “Oh, I know. Let’s take a baby, put it in the oven, turn it on, clean. Oh, and let’s make the mother watch. What human being would ever ever ever come up with that on their own? Ever? Yeah. Can you even w in the wildest imaginations? Would you have ever dreamed that anything like that could ever ever happen? It’s never occurred to us. Amazing. cruelty that humans can that’s not caneling right and yes he is a forever loser and that’s why being so vicious [Applause] [Music] [Applause] I knocked one over. Do you see that in the middle? So, I should drive pretty fast somewhere else and then continue on that. Hey, eight. That’s great. I had the cross thing and then she just decided to keep going. Anyway, I don’t remember what I was talking about cuz almost got hit by a lady driving. Okay, we’re back, I think. Sorry about that. Um, the phone’s in like a little case thing and I guess it’s locked in too much. Worked over cuz it’s it was in a case. So, if it’s outside in the air, it wouldn’t overheat even in like probably 30 cuz you get the air flow. I need to figure out a place I can mount it that’s like out better, but I don’t really have much real estate on my handlebars anymore. Oh, our clips are working again. That’s good cuz those weren’t working before. That’s nice. Um, I don’t know. I’m guessing we follow this and then wait to see signs that continue to guide us towards Olu. Let’s go over Simo River by the road. Back to mounting on helmet. I just need to mount it somewhere on my handlebars, but like with my drop bars, um there isn’t really much space remaining. Also, if I’m So, now I’m going to put it somewhere else so it doesn’t overheat as easily, but I need to charge it differently then. case the fan. I have a little like um clip-on phone cooler and when it’s on its max power setting, it actually gets real frigid. But it’s max power setting, it pulls 24 watts. 22, 23, 24 watts. Draws a lot of power. You can put it on a lower setting, but like it gets real cold. You turn then to another side of the highway. Well, everyone else is saying go under this underpass. Got to ride back and loop around to the bridge. What? You need to turn 180. What? Now I’m confused at what people have been telling me. Yeah. Let me look at a map. Man, [Music] that person’s horn was sandstorm. I love that so much. Oh, I do got to go back, don’t I? Ah, yeah. River. And there’s a train bridge over, but we’re not a train. Back to that intersection. Oh my god. So inefficient. Okay. I don’t know why my um Google Maps isn’t doing that little pictureand picture thing. If I start this and go over here, I can’t get it to work. I think I understand the route I have to take, though. But Google Maps Lady is going to talk to me and I’m going to get annoyed. Oh god. meters. Turn left. Wait, TA wasn’t even here. Did I even um did the stream cut out in time for me to thank Dr. Yellow for the seven gifted subs? Getting a little hungry. Wait, can I go underneath there? There’s an underpass right there. Why couldn’t I go that way? I totally can. I believe. I could be wrong, but I believe I think they just don’t know that this exists. This saved so much. Ah, easy. 79 to Olu that way. Google Maps lady said meters turn left. No, it wanted me to go to the road like where right by where I met the guy who cycled from South Africa. Turn left. I was staring at the map. It didn’t want me to go underneath there. It didn’t think that existed. 500 me turn right. Busy road. I am getting hungry. We’ll take a chocolate milk break soon. What’s our distance ridden today? It’s not that much. Now I just got to wait half a minute to respond for you guys to respond. 45. That’s not bad. So, we go right after the bridge. Uh, yeah. Round is straight. Olu is do a swervy left then straight. Okay. Ah. Oh, it literally says to go on the highway. Oh, but then get off the highway. Interesting. But I think then we immediately take the exit. Okay, we can do that. This is an exit right here. Clear. And then there’s the bike sign just up here on the right here. Olu Now, when you swap the chain, uh, when a bike shop says it’s worn enough that it needs to be swapped, take the exit. Like, I’m following their official infrastructure signs. Did I have a bike sign? Yeah. Don’t get mad at me. I’m following official signage. All right. Now where? See a sign on that post up here. No cadence meter. No. You guys want a cadence meter? Constantly following says straight. Isn’t that just an on-ramp to the highway? In 200 m, merge onto the road. May you come to Finland? I’ve wanted to come to Finland for years. I’m following official signage. Don’t get mad at me. This is the highway though, but it doesn’t have a sign to not saying not to ride on the highway specifically cuz they probably are allowing me for this section cuz there’s no good uh alternative. I do want to shut Google up though. There we go. The signs have been pretty clear when you’re not allowed to ride on a road. This road hasn’t had that. So, we are good. Don’t think this is legal. It is cuz this is the official signs telling me to go this way with the bike sign and they tell you to go this way. have an issue, you can contact your local Finnish infrastructure representative. They probably don’t have you on here that long. There’s just no good alternative. So they put you on here. Loud. Highways are loud. Cars driving fast are loud. As long as I got my shoulder, it doesn’t really matter. It’s fine. I got my space, they got their space. So if everyone stays in that space, well, there’s no issues. Based on wind, weather and all the things, when do you think you will reach Olu? Uh 80 km. Maybe we get there. It’ll be late tonight. It’s a car on the shoulder ruining my my shoulder. I’m going to have to find a safe time to zip out onto the lane. Motor space now. That’s the thing. It’s just like if that motorway you’re talking about has a big shoulder, I’d feel comfortable riding on it. But people think that’s insane. I don’t know. As long as I got space, I don’t care. Like I’d rather ride somewhere with less traffic and slower traffic and all that jazz. Okay, I’m going to have to wait cuz they’re just blocking everything. There’s a lot of room you could pull over that isn’t there. There’s like a whole big pole out there, but they’re like stopped right on the white line. [Applause] Can’t you ride by side? I just don’t want to jut out onto the traffic and be unpredictable when cars are going 100. It’s the best way to get smacked is to be unpredictable. There’s someone in car. Yeah, just an old guy chilling. a drink, huh? I love it so far. It’s been a good time. Second down the west coast. I think we’re going inland. Is it after Olu? Greetings from Vietnam. Greetings from Finland. Sound of cars passing. Yeah, the sound of traffic doesn’t really bother me. It’s all the years of hitchhiking. I’m just used to being around cars. See you, Tanya. It’s like Northern Ontario, but it was like a two lanes in each direction highway, which doesn’t look like Northern Ontario, but yeah, it does remind me of Ontario a bit, but we are going down the one lane. Google map shows route more quiet road. I’m following Finland’s official infrastructure signs that tell cyclists to take this route to Ole. big ass blue signs that have a picture of a bike on it, word that says Olu, and then directions that tell you which direction to go. Shoulders better Ontario. That’s true. Most of Northern Ontario has no shoulder. pass. I I missed it. I assume there’ll be a sign when I’m going to leave this road that has a a blue sign with a bike and an arrow and a word that says olu and it’ll tell me where to go. wind propeller thing looks crazy. The turbines, the power generation, the ones around here are pretty big. Just pass I Kon get what a banger get on Thank you, Jackman. Get fire. 10k donastia real. It’s as real as my tattoo I got. Where in Finland are you? We are 70 kilometers north of Ol. officially out of Lapland now. Hey, it’s weird. It’s been my home for so long. Heat. Heat. He’s a cool dude. I think he’s Swedishman. It’s been a good bike tour so far. Feels like Canada. It kind of does. We don’t we wouldn’t have that sensor divide on a road like this though. Metal bar dangerous location for cycling. This is the official bike route. It’s got official bike route signs and everything. Welcome to the world of bike touring where sometimes you get great roads and sometimes you don’t cuz it’s like that and that’s the way it is. going change soon. I think they’ve like put signs up for this whole length to Olu for like the bike route. So, I feel like they should have signs that tell me when to get off on new tent. No, the Canadian brand isn’t getting back to me. So, we’re just going to have to like buy it normally if I want to get it or buy it. There’s a Finnish online company that sells it at an extremely inflated price, but I need to get some like poles for it. Wait. 35 to 40 km still on this. Oh, okay. We got a couple hours of this. Nice. Yamp $20. Thank you. Yamps $20. What? my dinger. There we go. Good try. Thank you for the $20. I got some riding tunes. Oh, is this one of the speed cameras or average speed cameras? Maybe I got a speeding ticket sound for it. They do, but it’s got to be shipped from Canada and that’s going to take a long time. So, that’s what we’re I tried to contact the brand to get them to send it to me like real fast cuz my tent’s broken, but no one’s responding, which makes me sad. Um, so I kind of do whatever I do on my own. Suvi Rally. Who was there? Rally. I’m looking for bike signs, but I don’t think we’re going to have any for a while. Uh-oh. Construction. That’s going to be uncomfortable. [Music] There’s a bike here. Maybe I didn’t see any signs though. Change the road. Simo, I’m following the official bike route. The danger take it right. [Music] I do want I need to stop and eat pretty soon though. Well, chocolate milk. That’s That’s a meal. Danger zone. Danger. What’s going on? This looks suspicious. Okay. No, there’s something. Oh, look at this effort they put in. Nice job, Finland. a stop sign. Uh, it’s for them construction workers entering the highway, I’m guessing. All right. Is Helsinki today’s destination? That’s like I don’t know 800 km away or something. That’d be a tough one. Actually, I don’t know how far how far is Helsinki from here. That’s the ride today. Weather’s amazing. It’s a beautiful day to be on the bike. Helsinki 712 via road. Okay. All right. My 800 estimate wasn’t so bad. Ah, bike path signs. That’s what we like to see. To the left. To the left. M. So, go ahead and get going. Call up that chick. See if she’s home. Okay. Bike path. Now they say Olu. Until now, whenever there’s a bike sign, it showed Oh, and I liked it. It made me feel like I was on the right road cuz that’s where I’m going. I’m guessing this is fine. There’s a bench. I’m going to have some chocolate milk. It’s secor just subscribed. Thank you. H. It’s Thanks for subscribing. Welcome to the Hitch Bikers. Oh, it’s in the shade though. That’s okay. They just put random benches everywhere. I love it. Chocolate milk and some Pringles. What a great meal. So, if anyone likes snacking on unhealthy food, go on a bike tour and then it’s good for you. You emotes well done. Yeah, Tony set that up today. So, thank you. [Applause] one cling to the gas station. Decide whether to go along the main road or take longer small road. Okay. All right, audio is back. Audio mute. Yeah, I was peeing. You didn’t need to hear that. Maybe you did. Wyiver, my stream buddy crashed. Look at my logs. There it swear if there’s no logs. Why I didn’t touch my phone. Sensors bug shows 16 km an hour. That’s weird. I don’t know. Someone might understand what it’s doing. I don’t understand. 100% crash for users. I swear. Look, the app was up. I didn’t touch my phone and then all of a sudden it crashed. It’s It went away. Uh, where do I put this? Put you somewhere. Okay, battery settings go back to optimized. I can check. Um, but like you know it was like I wasn’t even switching screens. It was just on stream bike. Okay. Apps. S PST screen buddy battery. Now it’s unrestricted. [Applause] pair of biking shorts. I got a pair of shorts and a pair of bibs. Bibs [Applause] Anyway, welcome to my uh energy recharge system when I’m bike touring. Chocolate milk. in a liter of chocolate milk. Well, actually, I feel like this is lower calorie chocolate milk. It’s only got 54 calories per 100 gram. So, it’s like 540 calories in a liter, but it does have, wait, per 100 g. 3.3 g of protein. Isn’t that lower than most milk? Anyway, that’s still 33 grams of protein system. It’s a system. I started doing this when I biked across Canada. Still pouncing the shadow. Like since it’s really sunny today, we’re getting more power than we need. bike through and filming this crazy. Just more trees. There is a lot of trees, but I like the trees. It’s kind of a beautiful time of the year here, except for the mosquitoes. They’re really active, and I don’t think they’re beautiful. Um, actually I want to check something. I want to go to my Twitch dashboard and I want to look for the last week what percentage of my stream viewers have been Finnish because there’s been a a distinct uptick in everything Finnish in my chat. Theo Finlands have been going wild. The Finnish advice has been very useful most of the time. All right, I’ll do here last seven days. Oh my god. All right. All right. So, number one country, United States at 26 is always my number one. Number two country, Finland, 16%. Woo! Look at you guys go. I think we maxed out in Norway at like 9% Norwegians. Finland’s coming in strong. That’s pretty impressive. 3 4 five. Are you trying to do the mambbo? Number five. Uh three is United Kingdom at 8%. Four is Germany at 7%. Uh five is Sweden. Sweden’s always there. Sweden is eternal at uh 6% Sweden. And then uh six is Canada at five and Norway is at 4%. Wow, Nordic’s making a good showing. How is it the bike on the happiest country on earth? It’s been a good time so far and we’re like the past couple days we’ve been in well yesterday and today cuz before that there was a storm but we’ve been in a nice weather window. The sun’s shining today in general. The wind hasn’t been fighting us too hard. It’s been good. I like the food here. I know Finland’s not known for the food, but the salmon soup and stuff like that I’ve been a big fan. And don’t get me started on the soundness and the lowly. Love it. Weather is [ __ ] Look at today. I know people watching from Finland in in the south are saying we got bad weather today, but I got good weather. Tomorrow might be rainy. No, don’t tell me that. Let me look. It shows like mostly cloudy. There’s a small precipitation chance. It looks okay. Eaten Corellian pies yet? But you can only get Corellian pies from the Corellian region of Finland. We’ve been talking about it today. I want some chips. Classic cycling food. I got some of those uh rice pastry. Rice pie things. Try the real national food. What’s your real national food? Wait, where is Carellia? I’m not going through there. You going to get fat? I was the heaviest I ever was at the when I flew out of Canada to start the hitchhiking trip on this trip and I was 183 lbs. I know for most of the world that means nothing for whatever reason reason Canadians use pounds for our weight. Once I hit 1808 80 lb for my height, that’s when I cross into a BMI threshold that makes me overweight. I was overweight. Carellian stew has been voted the national food of Finland. I want to try it. Where is Corellia? different kind of Finland in the east. No, I’d really like to really like to BMI’s useless for people who train/ lift weights. No, I just for me it was fun cuz I’ve always been like rail thin, like really skinny. Since I’ve been an adult, I’m usually like 150ish lbs. But for me, it was just fun to technically be considered overweight based on BMI, which I know isn’t relevant cuz I knew I was healthy. I knew like I put on good weight. It was muscle mass and a bit of fat, but like that’s fine. That’s healthy. To me, it was just fun to say I was overweight. [Applause] Be mind is not a good scale for anything. From everything I’ve read, when you’re looking at like populations as a whole, you can do some stuff with it. For an individual in general, an individual isn’t is an individual. It’s more reasonable to look at population as a whole. Where is the sala? I bet there’s a sauna within a few hundred meters of here. [Applause] situ. intuition, you know better anyway because you’re turning. Oh, I know. Like when I found out my BMI put me into overweight, I wasn’t like, “Oh, no, I’m overweight and that’s bad.” I was It was It was actually my goal. I was I was bulking up. I was going to the gym. I was eating a caloric surplus. I’m like, I want to be technically overweight by BMI. I knew that was good weight. Wasn’t concerned about it. For me, it was just fun. If you want to eat something very finished, try pea soup with raw onion and mustard and toasted dry bread with salty butter on the side. I haven’t had that, so let’s try and find it. [Applause] Where do I find pea soup? Wait, didn’t people say like at um the lunch places there’s like a a day of the week that’s like traditional traditionally pea soup day? Yeah, there you go. Thursday food. Yeah. Yeah. What day is it today? Sunday. It ain’t Thursday. All right. On Thursday, hopefully we’ll be in a situation where we can find some pea soup. This route going to be from Simo to to I don’t know whatever this is. I guess. Where is I? My Google Maps has me going like way off road somewhere. pronounce this E. All right. I called it Lee earlier, so Oo, lingberry porridge. That would probably be good. I do like lingberries. I am trying to try as many Finnish things as I can during my time in Finland. But I assume this is like very traditional cultural Finnish. One of the final things we’re doing before we leave to Estonia, Sky Sauna in Helsinki. Sky sauna. I’m so excited. Sauna in the sky. The big wheel thing. Yeah, the big wheel thing. sound that boat in Olu. Um maybe I know people have been talking about it. I think it’s expensive though. Everything we tell you about sauna spread as you’re hyped to go on a sauna in the middle of Helsinki on a ferris wheel instead of a nice lake. Variety is the spice of life, baby. I want to try different things. Yes, a nice natural sauna in a natural location on a lake or a river is nice. Well, I’ve only had one at a river. I haven’t done one on a lake. But also, Sky Sauna is cool cuz it’s in the sky. [Applause] do both. That’s true. Like this isn’t a one or the other situation. It is I want it all. Swim in the lake or river. I’ve swam in a few lakes. No, few rivers. No lakes yet. Finner hasn’t put any sauna in their A350. They is Is that dangerous? They have showers on Etiad and Emirates A380s and like a SA would occupy space but it wouldn’t use up so much weight because like for the showers they have to carry a bunch of extra water just for the showers and water is heavy but for the sauna it shouldn’t be that much extra water. [Applause] Sound of the turbulence. It’s fine. It’s good. I’m going to finish my last of my little pies here. How are they going to heat it up with fuel, a samina, electricity. They got some big ass engines. I’m sure that they’ve got quite a bit of generation power for electricity. We’re talking about the airplane situation. Just use heat from the engines. Yeah. Just channel some of that heat direct from the engines into the sound. All right. Just going to finish my chocolate milk and then we’re good to go. Carrying on. It was a good little pickme up lunch thing. I never just use space of stone to squeeze more people in. Honestly, yeah, for like international flights. American and Canadian carriers aren’t that nice. European carriers in general, not exclusively, but in general are pretty bare bones and the service isn’t that great. It’s the Asian and the Middle Eastern carriers that are like go above and beyond on the service. You plan on not showering after the sound on the plane? That’s true. You kind of do need to like be able to shower or something. H, good point. Yeah, they have to have seat belts in the song. Someone pitch this to thin air. You got to do it. Air Canada is so mid for the price you pay. Yeah. Like I’ve used I don’t know like a airplane points to fly Air Canada international like business class and the seats are nice but like the soft service the food and the the service isn’t anything to write home about. Then economy is just whatever economy. But like when I flew the first time I flew international with an Asian carrier and this place is Japan Airlines just economy class back from my hitchhiking trip around the world back in 2015. I thought the food was good. They kept coming back and asking if I wanted more drinks in economy and I’m like one I was surprised they even offered drinks when I was younger and like that was a new thing to me. And then beyond that, most of the time for economy, they they like bring you a drink with a meal and they’re not going to come back ever again. Most surprising thing about Finland that you’ve learned or encountered. um surprising like on day one I was coming to Finland and my last recollection of me in a sauna was when I was a kid and I went in there and I’m like ick it’s a hot room. I don’t know why anyone would like this. I’m leaving. So that was my last experience and then I come in with an open mind but knowing that generally I don’t like things to be too hot and on day one we we got a nice sauna which was right by a river so we could like go for a dip between saunas and as soon as I hit that loud loop the water on the sauna stones I was I was in I was surprised that I liked it as much as I did. Um, but like to be honest, there hasn’t been So that’s surprising cuz like my reaction to it wasn’t what I expected. But um I don’t think there’s been too many things that are like, whoa, that’s really surprising. [Applause] Wow, there’s my blood. I killed a mosquito biting me and wiped my own blood all over me. Been sure that that sauna cultured so we could visit. We got sasers, but a lot of them are like weird and you’re not allowed to to lo Road awaits. Yeah, I’m almost done my chocolate milk. Then I’m going to come pack up and get out of here. Uh what’s our distance today? 50 something. We should be able to get at least another like 50 something in. Get close to Olu. these plastic screw top cardboard boxes. I don’t mind the cardboard boxes with the screw tops. I just hate the lids. Don’t get me started on European lids. I hate them. 54.6. Yeah, we’re doing pretty good. All done. Just rip them off. I tried to do that on one of these one time. in Norway and I ripped the entire like lid portion off. So then it’s just a hole and I couldn’t put the lid back on. Sad [Music] [Applause] and thank you Vergie on kick. [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] All All right, should be good to go. Should like clean and oil my chain. I got all mucked up in the rain yesterday. [Applause] Small evaluation after a year of those new lids. And apparently it does help a little bit. Wait, what helps? ripping them off. All right. No garbage. Good. Less trash. like your personal experience or like they did statistics. Growing in the experience is cool. Timing either plays a role to whether or not you’ll enjoy something which something I find strange. Any more progress with the hitch online store? What about the online store? like my merch. I don’t think it’s being worked on right now. Statistics. Do they just look for lids in the bushes and compare before and after? Oh. All of a sudden, I feel cold. I got a good gust of wind. I think I got a headwind. What the heck? They found 20 lids on beaches and this year just one. That’s That’s good. That’s noticeable difference. Like on all beaches, they found 20 before and one now. Unlike all Belgium beaches. Thought you might be adding some more merch. Who was I talking about this? Maybe bumpy. Like I’m I’d be happy to have more merch, but we need to like work on it. I I want it to be like good something that I would wear. Heat. Heat. possibly add some new stuff, but I need like ideas. Like, sure, I’d like to add more merch stuff, but what’s the concept? Jesus. It’s the huge cracks in the finished bike paths. wear on a normal day without being a walking billboard. Yeah, this like subtle if anything a little fashionable. Yeah, let’s see what these signs say. See some bike signs. Hopefully one actually says Olu. Okay. So now just none of the Here’s the blue bike sign has like Kinmen and Kirko but no Olu. Before this all the signs had Olu on it. Oh, this cyclist was just riding down the highway. I think. Am I just going on the highway now? [Applause] maps. They had such good signage for so long and I just gave up. All the small road next to the highway. Like there’s one on the other side for like a few hundred meters and then you’re either on the highway or it takes me like out into the bush. down like gravel roads and [ __ ] I’m not convinced it’s even like fully passable. I’m zooming in on this. I’m like, I don’t really see much of a path through here. I don’t think I want to do that route. There’s a big sign you just passed. There was a bike route sign, but it only had like some places to the right here that were like a kilometer away. I think we’re just going to end up on the highway. Left side road is a small road. Gumas tells me that there’s a way to hava. It just looks like some like middle of the woods gravel path. I don’t think we’re going to take it. I don’t think there’s any signs that say you can’t bike down here. So, we’re probably going to do that. being on the small road next to highway. Like there’s only a small road right next to the highway for like a at most a kilometer I think. Then there is no small road next to highway. Okay. [Music] Oh, like small gravel road here. But again, for just a couple hundred meters. KTM Racing. Get off me far dick. Hey This car is passing up. Oh, you guys are going to hate this so much. This side goes the whole way. That’s not what I saw. We’ll take it for the first section to make you guys happy. But I think we got maybe a kilometer of this and then that’s pretty much it. Heat. Heat. I enjoy highway riding. I really don’t mind it. Just everyone moans when I’m on a busier road. That’s how I started touring was TransCanada Highway for 8,000 km. There’s no connection back to the main road. I think there is. I hope there is. Otherwise, that sucks. As far as gravel runs are concerned, this one’s in pretty good shape. This bike just isn’t the best on them. [Music] Uh-oh. We’re leaving. We’re leaving. Trogloite guy just subscribed with Twitch Prime. And I think we can go to Hat Hatah and then back on the highway there. Right. Right. Right. Right. Wherever that is. Yeah. That’s got an access to the highway. Uh try that guy. Thanks for the 17 month prime. Yeah, I’m definitely going to get on the highway, bro. You can’t stop me. Oh, this is kind of pretty actually. Hey, fellow cyclist. Why wouldn’t the people be waving and nodding out here? This like the most rural random road. I gave a just a basic hand on bar and a little nod. She just gave me a side eye. Do I look that sus suspicious? Can’t even say suspicious. Which is suspicious. cuz they don’t know you. Someone hasn’t spent time in rural areas. Rural areas get real wavy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Ah, smooth section. Is this the pavement underneath this or is this just seemingly smooth gravel? That’s I think I’m going the correct direction. I might just add up end up at a dead end at someone’s cottage, but we’ll find out. Now, this gets off on the highway. I guess for a lot of it there is like that gravel road you could follow. Check WhatsApp by check WhatsApp. Okay, that’s good to know. Heat. Heat. We can’t we can be on this side road for a long time. I don’t know what I feel like. Road’s pretty busy. [Music] Can a police say hi, Chancell? It’s not illegal to bike on this section of the road. So, if the police interacted with me, they wouldn’t be mad at you. So far in Finland, they’ve been very, very, very clear whether you’re allowed to bike or walk down the road or not. Should do the highway just to stress everyone out. Yeah, that’s it. Let’s do it for that reason. [Applause] I think that’s reason enough. Heat. Heat. just farming monkey asses. Wow, look at that golden thumb though. I do want to clean my chain though. No brainer is happy for any kind of bike overall road. Yeah, to me I got like a good enough shoulder, so I don’t really care. But I spent 8,000 kilometers riding across Canada next to a highway sometimes with a lot less room to work with than this. So all right, caution moose for the next 6 km. Now, we are fenced on this highway, so we still have to put a lot of effort to get on here, but they could Aza, thank you for the uh the raid. And I’m going to hitch and welcome to uh somewhere in Finland. [Music] Truck. Um, we are what, like, 1100, 1200 km into this bike tour. Got another 800 km or so Finland to ride through. Trying to Sono as much as possible. Have I ever been to BC, Canada? Funny you should ask. That’s where I’m from. I’m from Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. Wait, as is Finnish streamer who is also does some nice biking stream. Cool. Have they done local like a like a tour or more local biking? [Applause] [Music] I don’t really mind this highway at all. This is fine. I got lots of shoulder by my Canadian standards. Guys should have seen northern Ontario. Now that sucked. A lot of people that are riding across Canada rather than doing Canada the whole way in uh eastern Manitoba, they’ll go south into the US and go through like what like SC is it Eastern Michigan or whatever to avoid northern Ontario roads. Finding a long ebike tour. Cool. just through Finland. an international one. Cool. Nord cut the South SP. Oh, cool. It’s going to do something funky with a solar panel like this. Next month going north to North Point Street on an ebike. And we got specs like what’s the range on it? How far can you go on a battery a day? Pepe. Hello. My actual name is Hitch. Nice to meet you. Stay safe. Then why did you choose the name Pepe? Never knew there was other hitches. My name’s like my channel name is Hitch because I stream hitchhiking. Still do. I just mix in some bike touring. So that’s what my hitch name is about. Trying to get a sponsored bike currently still. H Okay, fair. I was like, I wanted to know all the ebike specs cuz I I know people have ebike toured, but like there’s some logistics at play there. To be fair, like the bike trailer I have with the 225 W solar panel is meant to recharge an ebike motor and extend your range. So, but if you’re not doing something like that, then you’re going to have a fixed range. Well, it variable depending on the terrain you’re going over and what power assist level you put on it. And then you got to recharge some heavy Sunday traffic seems to be. So, I really don’t mind. This reminds me of Canada. There’s no place like home. There’s no place like home. Change if you go downhill on an ebike. Yeah. So, like most ebikes will also only like pedal assist up to a certain amount, but going down a good hill, you’ll go above the pedal assist level. So, you’ll just be using gravity. or if you pedal above the 25 km an hour, whatever is legal here, then it’s all on you. And if the ebike motor is not engaged, then but you’re getting kilometers down, then you’re extending your range. This weather good for riding, not too hot. It’s like perfect. It’s really nice today. What camera are you using? Uh DJI Action 4 and DJI Action 5. I think that was a solar panel on the side of the road that just like flew off the roof of someone’s RV probably. They just left it there like it’s broken anyway. Got some Fs in chat for that solar panel. [Music] [Applause] [Applause] Thank you. Thank you. I forgot how much delay there is in my chat right now. Makes me sad. Having so much network or tech issues, but we’re still going. New Bosch power pack promises 300 range. Just like give it to me raw. How many watt hours is it? I want to know the capacity. It wasn’t F. We were saying F about a solar panel that probably blew off of someone’s RV that wasn’t bolted down correctly. Heat. Heat. bike through Alaska sometime. I’d like to, but again, this is where we have to like figure out whether we can get something like well what I have on the back of the train is Starling actually working reliably as our sole connection cuz for a lot of that we just won’t have any cellular. So, doesn’t matter how many cellar connections we’re trying to bond together. Could have 10 cellular connections all trying to bond together. 10 time zero is still zero. So, I ain’t going to do much. It’s the same thing. I want to bike across Australia, but we’d be 100% reliant on Starling for the majority of the distance. Alaska is US stuff. Well, that’s true. So, I won’t be going there anytime soon regardless. But on top of that, like I’ve hitchhiked anchors to Fairbanks and yeah, the network wasn’t great. Recognize any stream sniping? We probably how many people come by? Probably like six. stream snipes or something. Earth Living Sky, thanks for the 34 month reset. Much appreciated. Yo yo, 1600 W hours dual battery mode say talk 300 km like 1600 watt hours is that’s a big battery, but yeah, I think you’d struggle to stretch that out to 300 km. So yeah, maybe two of those big dudes. Heat. Heat. and this way for hours for joint. Had to get electric bike gear. Go. Bought two batteries so I can go 180 km. That’s a good stretch. That’s like the most I’ve ever toured in a day. And like that was a 24-hour stream was like 21 12 km or something. just over 200 km. So 180 km range is huge. According to that sign 63 to 0 It’s like 3 hours. It’s assuming like no stop, right? This road’s like pretty flat. So, we should be able to maintain a pretty good pace. It’s on YouTube for # ignored. Wait, what do you mean? I’m not ignoring YouTube. Want a break? I just I just stopped for like lunch. We’re good for a while. when food I just ate. Try full batteries. Check one day charging. Like batteries are heavy is the one thing. So like carrying a ton of batteries means you’re just carrying a ton of weight. But still, probably the extra like range and stuff you get from an extra battery would offset the weight. You got low blood sugar. Yeah. If I’m getting hangry, it’s low calories. Probably low blood sugar. Some kind of low something. Why food? When food, how food? Exactly. white food. I had a liter of chocolate milk, some Pringles, and some rice pies. 0 degrees mopping last night. Uh where I was at forecasted down to five, but like my sleeping bag is rated to minus 8 and stuff, so like I was comfy. Then in the morning I had the tent or the sun shining right in my tent. So like the rice p. Yeah, I think they’re good. What are you supposed to have on? You’re supposed to put some stuff like some butter or something and So, on their own, they’re like pretty good, but like there isn’t much to them. I think they’re good carbs, though. I like the texture. Viewer came by this morning, gave me a pack of nine of them. They’re all gone now. Egg butter. What’s egg butter? Egg and butter. Boiled eggs, butter, and salt mashed. Well, now I got to try this. Where is the egg butter? Do you have earplugs in? No. Even though it’s loud, I like my situational awareness. It’s not that loud. There’s louder highways than this. Heat. Heat. Oh, heat, heat. pissing down like Silverstone. Oh, but a rain formula one race makes it spicy. makes it unpredictable. He’s open-minded. Yeah. Anything that’s like a real food that like a cultural food that people eat somewhere, I am very happy to go in with an open mind wanting more than anything to enjoy it, which I think is a great way to actually enjoy cuz some people will hear a description of something be like, “That’s different from what I usually eat. Therefore, that’s scary. Therefore, that’s gross. Therefore, I don’t want it. I want it all. I want it all and I want it now. Give me the egg butter. Trying to reindeer me up a lot. Lot of reindeer. Reindeer filt. Reindeer stew. Reindeer sausage. All right. Olu 60. Oh, yeah. Reindeer heart. Reindeer tongue. Forgot. E is 23. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. We’re making really good time on this road. I’m always like motivated to just like have a good pace on a highway on side roads. I’ll get distracted and start driving all over the place. And but here it’s just like maintain your line, maintain your cadence, put your power out. We go. Heat. Heat. [Applause] Heat. Heat. [Music] on the beach. Nice view. It should be quiet, but yeah, we got the opportunity. I love a good coastal view. A second from Olu. This is my friend’s grandma and the bike a few times. So, it’s like 40k. It’s a good trip out and back. Okay, we’re talking about like egg butter right now, but I just want to talk about butter. One of my biggest pet peeves. So, if you go to like breakfast diner or something and they bring you toast and they bring you like those refrigerated foil packets of butter and you’re like, I would love to spread this butter if it wasn’t as hard as a freaking rock. Just leave out a bit of butter so it can warm up to room temperature. Put it in your butt cheeks smell. I have put like butter packets in weird like places and pockets and stuff like that. The issue is I always forget about them. And this becomes an issue when I forget about them and now I’ve got melted butter in my pockets. Local just subscribed. Look at little. Thanks for the 10-month prime. I just want to be able to spread my butter. Okay. Carver 7, you were gifted a tier one sub to public. They have given three gifted subs. Garva, thanks for the gifted sub to pocket butter. Did you make that account or was someone actually called pocket butter? I wonder if they also put put butter in their pocket to warm it up. 2014 made account. They’ve been pocket buttering for a while. Feel like feel thin like butter is spread inside too big a pocket. Wow. Lord of the Rings modified Lord of the Rings quote. Nice. [Applause] We got a good shower. Let’s get some water. Ro side of the road. Uh just a few birds. [Applause] Heat. Heat. [Applause] Okay. Nice Ah, a 60 zone. Wow, slowing down. I’ve gone faster than that on this trip. Don’t think I’ll go faster than that on this stretch, but Oh, speed camera. We ran wave. You think I was going fast enough to trigger it? Get new tent yet? No, I’m trying to buy this Canadian tent. But it’s hard for me to get [Music] probably. All right, let’s get a massage. Um, Durst XMID one. That’s what I’m looking at. Trailer is super squeaky right now. That’s quite the bus stop. And back to 80. Stroll is P3 momentarily. Isn’t stroll actually like pretty decent in the wet Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. This truck brand is called Cisu. Uh, no I don’t I know Cisu the candies and the mints and stuff. Don’t know the truck brand, but it means like strength or something, doesn’t it? grit, persever determination. That’s the word. Pers, perseverance. That’s okay. Oh, look at where we are. That was a nice little fast section. We did some good distance there. Nice. Apparently, Sundays are busy. Who would have known as far as E? 16 km. Okay, I think we’re just going to straight shot this on the highway cuz it’s not so bad. And then uh I don’t know. See after E if it gets more chill. searching for those rage break criminal clout chasers kick streamers. Do you happen to be one of those? I don’t know. I don’t think that’s up uh for me to determine. You got to assess for yourself if I’m rage bait criminal clout chaser. I guess you got to watch to find out. But to be honest, I’m just riding a bicycle down a road. So if that’s any of those, then your categories seem strangely defined. Just going to have some Swedish cars. He’s insane beer. I thought it was a very interesting comment. While I’m stopped, you guys can look at the solar panel. Wow, look at that solar panel. It’s kind of pointed left, isn’t it? Well, it’s probably better. Looks at traffic a bit more. Or am I just pointed? Thought there’d be a lot more of those on kick. Saw clips of them. People rage baiting and stuff. I don’t know. You get the same on Twitch. Twitch and kick really aren’t so dissimilar as far as the content. Also, a lot of people streaming on Kick are also streaming on Twitch. All right, let’s just hydrate a little bit and then we can get some more miles. I feel like there’s a lot more people heading south than north right now. I’m heading south. We’re back to a 100 zone dual carriageway up here. Nice. Small is more interesting than big roads. Pretty sure this turns into a gravel road. Or I checked out street view. If I turn right here, street view shows a gravel road, but that was like, I don’t know, 11 years ago or something, so that could have changed. Yeah. Clear. Oh, wrong gear. The movie CEU trailer. I’ve watched that movie. That is a brutal movie. Good movie. Brutal. Gravel. Gravel bike. No, it’s turning bike. See, if it was just this bike, it’d be fine. But like this bike with these tires with this trailer, like I can do gravel. It’s just like not a comfy and very shaky loud ride. was good. Hey spoke English. There’s tying into modern day how the current day ones do. [Music] uh roads work pretty often. It’s not uncommon to see cycles. I like honestly I I really don’t think this is that bad for riding a bike on. I know a lot of like Europeans are used to their beautiful bike infrastructure. As a Canadian though, my first foray into bike touring was ride bike down highway. That’s it. Some finish followers. Yeah, I checked for the past week and 16% of my Twitch viewers are finished right now. That’s a pretty high percentage. And it’s always like that, like when you travel to a country, viewership from that country spikes up like dramatically. But I feel like when I was in Norway, I peaked at like 9% Norwegian viewership. So, the fins are coming in strong. Heat. Heat. [Applause] There’s a little peo Finland. Nice. I’m Norwegians watching canoe. They just spend all the time talking [ __ ] about Norway. never comes here. So, it’s an event. You You guys were telling me that Jenny was here recently and everyone was really excited that Jenny liked your salmon soup. It is good soup. I I’m a big fan myself. Come on. Heat. Who’s Jenny? Jeie’s one of like the top IRL streamers on Twitch. I don’t know if she’s on kick. Probably not. I don’t know. Anyway, I think she’s very impressive. She goes a lot of places no one else really goes and streams. But one of the big things, she just never stops streaming. I don’t I don’t know how she does it actually. She’s seemingly live all the time, everywhere, and never stopping. That wasn’t too bad. No, I don’t mind this at all. Like, of course, I’d like less traffic. That’s But this is fine. Heat. Heat. [Applause] sicker than any road in the US. Something like that. I did a decent little bike to the US from uh Florida Keys, southern Florida to North Carolina, Raleigh. Um, and like honestly it was a bit better than I thought it would be. The Florida was way better than I thought it would be. There’s pretty much always some kind of cycling something. Either a bike lane or through the Florida Keys there’s like bike bridges. The old rail bridge that used to be the only way to get to Florida Keys. Once they open the road, they just opened it up to pedestrians and bicycles. Um, but beyond that, the East Coast route I took, like a lot of times there’s a shoulder not too dissimilar to this and it just had like an actual like painted bike thing on it. Like it was a bike path. Even in like Miami, there was like it was like a threelane eachway like busy city street and the rightmost lane had like a bike painted on it as if like you’re supposed to just take the lane as a cyclist. But like I don’t trust Miami drivers to not completely road rage at a bike claiming one of their three lanes. stopped you on a golf cart with a banana and a hund in Florida. Wait, you did that? Good times. Don’t imagine you’ll be getting to Finland this Thursday. What do you mean? I’m in Finland today, tomorrow, the next day, the next day, the next day, the next day, the next day. Oh, how soon? Uh, I don’t know. It’s 7 800 km. Jenny, top streamer, 45k viewers. We have IRL streamers in Germany. 30 100,000 viewers. Which German IRL streamer does 30 to 100,000 viewers? I don’t know German streamers very well. Cuz like if someone just streams from home and then like once a month they go out to a city and do something, I don’t really consider that an IRL. streamer. There’s the desktop streamer and that’s fine. But like on a straight in a trip in Finland like coming up it’s almost 8 km straight. Heat. Heat. cuz yeah. Okay. Like so with a definition of someone that like mainly does outdoor content doing stuff, who would be the top IRL streamer? cuz I don’t even know. Tiny bits probably broken glass. consider Kai to be an IRL stream. See, I don’t watch a stream. Like, I know he does some crazy IRL stuff, but I don’t know what like the ratio is. Extra streams are out of the house. Yeah, I do think yeah, extra Emily is pretty her streams are pretty impressive to me. Gaming is not that interesting for advertising partners on Twitch. Gaming is the all the advertising partners. IRL streamers have struggled for so long to get good sponsors because none of the main sponsors on Twitch like all your video game company like computer companies, peripheral companies, all that crap. None of that is relevant to IRL streams where you see a gaming stream in a comparable size and they got like gaming and computer sponsorships up the hoo-ha. Take the smaller ones. We’re going to E and then we’ll get bike paths again. It’s just like 10k. This is part of bike touring. You ride on big roads sometimes. This road really isn’t that bad. If you’re thinking about bike touring, though, this looks like horrible. You’re going to have to limit your countries you bike tour in to a very small number of places. We have the bikers who say E. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. EA Sports. It’s in the game. Yeah. That’s where that saying, little slogan comes from. E Finland shoulder was as wide as the road. Oh, that was the uh random road that doubled as a runway. It’s perfect. How are the bugs today? They’re not that bad. Like when I stopped for lunch, there was a few mosquitoes around when I was drinking my chocolate milk. But uh compared to what we’ve had, it’s pretty minimal today. At least so far. We’ll see this evening. [Applause] Heat. Heat. There’s some mosquitoes here at town. Yeah, double running. They strip the middle divider foliage. This one does. I just like take off the middle divider in a pinch. Like these street lights are probably not the best. So, it’s allowed to be on highway bicycle in Finland. In Finland, they’re very, very descriptive. If you’re not allowed to ride a bicycle on a stretch of highway, I have a nice sign that says, well, it has a picture of a pedestrian and a bicycle and something else with a big red line through it. It’s like an orange sign with a cross through it, but that ain’t here. So, they don’t really like surprise you with it. Either is or it isn’t. And when it isn’t legal, you know it. This is a very straight stretch though. that I missed or was someone. Yeah, I wonder who that is. And wasn’t it like there was no large paved roads running east west for the same reason? Solic’s back at the end of the trailer. We never like named it. You’re welcome to pitch names and I’ll probably reject them all. Trip across Canada wasn’t incredibly fast. Canada is too big to speak as a whole. Western Canada is very mountainous. The middle part is quite flat. It’s the prairies. Ontario is very hilly, but no mountains. Uh Quebec is pretty flat mostly where we ro like there’s the uh St. Lawrence River Valley that’s kind of steep bank but if you stay above the valley it’s pretty flat. Um New Brunswick is kind of rolling hills kind of Finlandy-ish. Nova Scotia was hillier than I thought it was. I remember just like repeated not the biggest climbs but just like solid climbs over and over. And then Newfaland is is very rocky. It’s like northern Ontario. Solary solar sled. So the only part of Canada that felt really flat was most of the prairie. So, like uh once you get out of the Rock, he’s in Alberta, Saskatchewan, uh western Manitoba, central Manitoba. Once you get eastern, it gets into the Canadian Shield, which is hilly, and then a bit of Quebec was pretty flat. It’s very vikingy. There is like a some Viking Vikings that came over. I don’t know when it’s like small community in northern Newfoundland. I haven’t actually been up there before because I’m usually just going on the TransCanada Highway straight from Porter Baskque to St. John’s. Forgot what the town is you go up to to find that solar mixer mixer. There you go. It’s about 1,000 years ago. Okay. So, just a little bit ago, not too long. Also, what a freaking journey to get here a thousand years ago. Impressive sailing, go across the North Atlantic on the type of ships they had back then. But aren’t we going like inland after Olu? So, we’re not staying on the West Coast route. I have to look at our route. I thought that’s what you guys voted for was central, but the central route doesn’t start till a little bit further south. There goes my Twitch chat. coast and kill cali. How far is that? A heat. kind of 20 km. Okay, that’s not that far. Chem Galleri 280. And what do we have from Kem to Olu today? 140 from where I started, I think. What’s our distance ridden today? We might actually be getting up there. Viking history of Canada schools there. I think they uh they touch upon it. of course it’s like focused on Canadian history but uh I’m trying to remember I think well we call it social studies for sure one of the years they went through as much world history as you could but there’s a whole lot of world and a whole lot of history so you’ll just touch on things 83 went three today. Okay. 150 Olu to Kellog. So we’ll be close to Olu today. Olu give or take. Heat up here. a few kilometers. Is that an E? I’ll be able to get off the highway here soon. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Is it cyclist friendly? Maybe people are calling it like the cycling capital of Finland. We will see. See there in Finland. Yeah. Yes, there it is. Lack of lunch breaks. Bit disappoint. What do you mean? I just stopped for lunch. Well, I don’t know how long ago. 2 hours ago. Had a liter of chocolate milk, some some Pringles. It’s a good lunch. Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. Heat up here. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Uh, it’s a pancake for me. How was it? The pancake. It was good. I haven’t had a pancake like that thickness and consistency before. I liked it though. No complaints. And like I do like the strawberry whipped cream combo. I get that on like waffles a lot. So, I’m all about that. I’d recommend trying it. And like a coffee and a pancake was €6. So like, you know, not insane. Pass Hburger in Southern E. I have to try it at some point. Like, oh, they’re having a nice campfire. I have to try Hburger at some point, like before I leave this country. It’s a requirement. They just randomly squeeze me at this one corner here. Clear bike lane. Oh, is that a bike lane? [ __ ] Looks like it. Next intersection we’ll go over. Maybe here. There we go. We’ll just cross this road when it’s clear, which might take 5 minutes or something. Clear left. Right. Not not right. If I was prepared, I probably could have gone here. Oh, it’s so busy. Yeah. You’re right. I should have gone. I was too busy moaning. Takes me a while to get going is the issue. Okay. There’s a gap here. We made it. Bike path. Oh, it’s in good shape. At least right here it is. Nice bike lane. JNS bird next to the road but South Center was not bad hamburger. Last time I was there eight years ago. Okay. Uh straight. started liking the idea of bike touring. Only got excess bike for now. Bike tour through feeling would be cool. Yeah. No, it’s really nice. I’ve enjoyed it so far. We still got a good ways to go, but I think it’s a good place to tour. Um, if you do it this time of the year, uh, be okay with getting bit by lots of mosquitoes. How much rain have you seen last 18 days? I’ve been pretty good at avoiding the rain. I’ve been lucky is what that is. Northbounds. I’m surprised they’re wearing like full neck gators like buffs in these conditions. state. US is the most bike friendly? No, I’ve only biked in like Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina. Um, wonder if there’s a state as a whole cuz it’ll just be like certain bike friendly cities. How do you know when to switch gears? So, like there’s kind of like a cadence and power zone and like when you start going uphill and all of a sudden you’re pedaling like super slow and you have to put a ton of power to keep pedaling and change your gears to find like that power and cadence. Cadence is how fast you’re spinning your legs. Um, it’s not the best way to describe it. I wish I could describe it better. Like, you get used to knowing how much effort and how much speed you’re spinning your legs at and you just keep going. Minneapolis, I think, was ranked close to highest. I believe so. I biked kind of through Minneapolis uh with my Brmpton on my hitchhiking trip. So, I got dropped off like downtown and to hitchhike south out of Minneapolis, I had to like ride a good ways to find a good spot to hitchhike. That burger place is 4.6 on Google. That’s pretty good. Hold up. We got to go look off this bridge for a second. What is this? It’s like a like a seal. Heat. Heat. Nice. How are we doing here? Good. Getting some good distance down today. We’ve had some great weather, good conditions for riding. So, felt good. Province is the best for biking in Canada. Quebec probably for distance cycling. like several of your bigger cities are fine for cycling. Where I used to live, Victoria was actually pretty good for cycling, but I wouldn’t say BC as a whole is great, especially for distance. I do regular hiking. Not as much as I’d like to, but I need like more friends in Canada that want to do that. just recently reconnected with a few high school friends and uh we’re talking about doing a like a at least an overnight like hike in camp hike out maybe a 3day or something used to live yeah I live in Edmonton now for better or worse of downhill Well, yeah. Like the ski hills in the winter are bike hills in the summer. So Whistler Bike Park is pretty well known. Have you ever been lost? It’s honestly really hard to get super lost with like modern GPS and stuff. Like at any point you should be able to pinpoint your exact location on a map. All right. So this is E, I guess. Do I want to eat? It’s probably a good time to eat. I had my like lunch like a liter of chocolate milk and stuff not that long ago. [Music] small apartment is no more. Yeah, we had a 315T apartment. Now we’ve got like a big threebedroom, 2 and a half bath townhouse. Sarah and I had outgrown the micro suite. Uh, sorry. I’m from Canada. Power is solar panel. Huh? It’s a big solar panel. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Very good system. I use it to make a live broadcast. What the 100 225 225 Okay. 225. It’s a big solar panel. Kilome. Uh today. Oh, today uh about 90 90 today. 90. Yeah. 90. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. from uh just before chem. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. And all Yeah. To give me all Yeah. Today. Today. Okay. And it’s nice cuz [Music] don’t load to electric. Oh, so bike is not electric. All legs. Electric is for camera. Came camera. Okay. Electronics. I make a live video, a broadcast. Okay. And and a bike. Bike is what? What bike is what then? It’s a Kona Sutra. It’s a discover motor. Sak motor is no motor. No motor. No motor. Motor is legs. No. Is solar is for cameras. Oh, Erica say driving. Note driving. No. Okay, Erica. So want to go mobile phone camera mobile. I make a live video direct. Okay. Okay. Like TV. She’s okay. She’s okay. mobile phone and camera and uh not driving. Not driving. Driving is legs. Driving is food. Food. Yeah, that’s fuel. It’s almost dinner time. Good look. Country is uh Canada. Canada. Yeah, Canada. Ah, Canada is Finland. French. Oh, French. French. Okay. Okay. All right. I got to get to Olu and Okay. And the time she’s time time long. Uh, okay. Finland. How long? My English is so Your English is better than my Finnish, so all is good. All right, you have a great day. Oh, good luck. Thank you. Thank you. I assume I just go this way. That just goes to a bus stop. Now I’m lost. Do I just go into town? Oh, Olu. I see the sign for it. I don’t actually know I’m going to Olu, but it’s easiest. I’m going to get between here and Olu. So, it’s 38 km to Olu on the bike routes. 38. So 2 hours if I don’t stop. Get us in at 9 where we eat here. It’s the most social Finnish man we’ve met yet. Nah, we just carry on. Ask how long is your trip? I know it’s too late now. I can go chase him down. now eat to an E like I’m temp the thing is I feel okay right now I’d be stretching it to get to O but there might not be that much open at that point. Let me think about this a second. What town is this? E spelled I I So maybe it’d be better to eat here. Might be better to eat here. Okay, you guys recommended a few things. What? What do you recommend again? Lunch restaurant in near, but usually they’re closed by now. It’s almost 7:00 p.m. Hesburger. We do have to try Hesburger at some point. I just heard the burgers are really saucy and I don’t really like saucy burgers. get pancakes this morning. Yeah, I got a pancake JNS burger. That’s bit further ahead. The road to that could be good. It’s got good reviews. Let me see where that is. J and Sber Burger. see if they can make a good burger. It’s got 4.6 on Google. You’d think it’d be pretty good. J and S. Yeah, that’s fine. 3.6K. Okay. Chance 505. All right, I’m in. Let me move some cables around here. The mic’s going to be dying soon. That’s average burger. JNS or Hesburger. Oh, this battery is like dead. Let’s swap batteries around. Well, we got the sunshine. [Music] trailer’s got a real good squeak right now. [Music] Wow. It’s take McDonald’s over Hesburger any day. Talk [ __ ] about European burgers all the time, so I’m sure you wouldn’t like any of it. You can get a good burger in Europe. I just think it’s you make a lot of bad burgers in Europe. They don’t know how to do the beef patty very good in a lot of places. It’s like this sad floppy thing. It’s loose. squeaky trailer. And then all the Europeans defending their burgers probably haven’t like had a bunch of American burgers. Burger King is better than McDonald’s is better than Hburg of like the mass-produced big burger chains like the ones you can find everywhere. Burger King is my least favorite. Although I actually ended up getting a really late night Burger King because it was the only thing opened in Raven Rovenmi when I was there one night. It was right across the street from my hotel. And it actually was better than I thought. Maybe they’re just better in Finland. All fast food, same crap. All trash. No, some fast food’s good. Just cuz you make something fast doesn’t mean it necessarily has to be bad. Potty mouth girls. What are you guys doing? Dropping those eaves on those girls. They weren’t talking to you. [Applause] Hold up. Do I go that way? Well, that’s Olu. I want to go to Olu, but I’m going to probably go to that burger place. Can I get there this way? I’m just going to block the whole path. How often does he shower? I don’t believe in showers. I think showers are a government conspiracy. take this to rid our bodies of their natural pherommones. Let’s just follow the main path and then we’ll detour from there. Classic Asthma Gold moment. Hey, Natty stay. Yeah. Is natural. Wow. This is nice. A nice bike path. Decent eating places behind you. We’re going to get a burger. And all the Europeans with their sensitive feelings about me saying European burgers are worth worse than North American burgers. We’ll see what I think of this European burger. Apparently, they’re pretty good. JNS Burgers here. So, we’ll see. We sensitive. Well, yeah. Just when I say North American burgers are on average better than European burgers, they’re they get real defensive. European sense of Europeans bad. When did I say Europeans were bad? They’re sad sloppy things. Yeah. Their patties are often just like some frozen beef patty. It’s got no like char grill on it. They just like I don’t know. It’s like they stuck it in the microwave. See how defensive you guys are getting? I’ve been to all 50 states, all 10 Canadian provinces, and two out of three territories. On average, the burgers are better there. And like, I don’t know why you get so defensive. In general, food in Europe is better than North American food. Let them have burgers. It’s a burger. Give them one thing. And it’s like such an American thing, too. It’s a [ __ ] burger. Skippy 999 cheered 100 bits. We have [ __ ] burgers here. Stop lying to yourselves. But at least we can make a mean lowh. Yeah, there you go, Skippy. All there. I got to figure how much I’m I’m not that far from this burger place. Oh, straight. Don’t get hit by a car. Except Tanya wants me to be. He’s going to feel so bad if I actually get hit by a car. What you looking for? They drop something on the road. That’s sad. Even my bike cried out for them. Do officers go to highway or through something that goes near the highway? Highway to old. Oh my god. Pin it. Right now I’m just following the the signs that say bike route to Olu. Look, they even got a little center line. That’s cute. Okay. So, if I buy my tent and film that Canadian one that’s not free sanding, I need some poles to hold it up. So, if this guy gives me his hiking poles, I can get that tent. Those look nice and adjustable, too. [Applause] feel like you guys are still getting defensive and you want to use corn syrup from coat which is not as good as can trigger all I’m trying to say they’re breaking into other American things that aren’t as good. I don’t even like America right now. They wanted to annex Canada. I’m saying they have better burgers. That’s it. This the only thing. [Applause] Just burgers. [Applause] [Applause] Careful your choice of words. You’re on a visa. I think this would only matter if I was about to go to America and I was talking [ __ ] about America. Okay, I was just talking [ __ ] about America. European customs don’t go into your social media history to figure out whether you’re eligible staying hotel in Olu. If I had to guess, I’m going to stop probably just before Olu and camp in some woods. Heat. Heat. Oh, Metal Capital in Finland. I want to go to a metal show in Finland. I think that’d be fun. Do you all accommodation? Yeah. Yeah. It didn’t pan out. I can tomorrow, but not tonight. But it’s fine. That kid’s just like cruising, riding her bike with no handlebars on her phone. One, that’s skilled. She looks very young. Two, it’s probably a little dangerous. We got a helmet on, though, so that’s okay. Met. Yeah, I went to my first metal concert a few months ago. It was so much fun. I didn’t like metal until that point. Missed our missed one metal concert just this weekend. SGE. Okay, it must be coming up too. Oh, there’s the Hesburgger. Is it here? Ah, it must be here. Yeah. Music has crazy good live energy. No, like it’s so much better live. So much better. Looks busy. I’ll leave you guys in the sun since we’re charging some batteries right now. This side will probably change direction and go in the shade in a little bit, but that’s okay. Does it mean good? Yeah. No, it does. bandi uh kill switch engage and they had three openers and one of them I really liked more than kill switch. Um they’re from Texas. Hold up. Their [ __ ] goes hard. You will never see. What’s the band? Kubla Khan. You will never know. You will never know. Anyway, they were really good live. Okay, let’s go get a burger. But like I don’t even know how to emphasize how much fun I had. I crowd surfed three times. I was in like the mosh pit the whole time. Apparently being active like I am means I have good endurance for the marsh but I was so tired after uh seems to host you in Olu. I also have a sauna tattywatti that’s very kind of you. Um oh you’re right in the city. Let’s Let’s get get inside and consider this over a nice burger. You had me at SA. All right. Uh JRS on shift or J or Oh, J or Okay, I see. Okay. I I got confused. I’m a little slow sometimes. addicted to sounders. But like you get in the sound, I’m like, “Oh, this is nice.” And then you hit that low loop. Yeah, that’s where it’s at. You will never know. You will never never know. [ __ ] All right. Sorry. There’s enough metal. They serve alcohol too. [Music] [Music] papa English. Ah, thank you very much. Appreciate it.

All in was beef patty, kebab meat, pulled pork, chicken fillet, double cheese, pickled red onion, tetis, sorry, lettuce, tomato, mild pepper, jalapeno, radish, jns, garlic mayonnaise, barbecue sauce. It’s got chicken fillet on it. That’s crazy. I don’t think I’ve had a burger that mixes beef patty and chicken. It’s like group four are all in. Three patties is big. 125 g patties. So they’re not huge, but three of them is whatever that is. 375 grams. Getting close to a pound of beef. Cult reindeer. I’ve had a lot of reindeer. I’m reindeered out. Thing is, I’m not I’m not that hungry. I have my cycling appetite, but root four. We need it. All right, let’s try the big boy. Root four burger, please. What the root? Wait, is it? Yeah. Route four. The big one. Four. Route four. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. One. There’s one. Yeah. I hope so. Uh oh, here. Yeah. Just get a coke. [Music] Good. Keep those things. [Music] Sorry. Well, look, my QR code. Seating out here isn’t as good. Seating in here isn’t as good. All right, we are going out there. Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. Okay, let’s spin it around. Well, I can sit in the sofa and eat on this chair. How about here? We’ll go on a normal table. Okay. All right. I’m not that hungry. We’re going to see if we can finish this. I took Oh, I took their English menu. Maybe I want to look at it later. Right. I’ll bring it back. [Music] Two forks, two meals, baby. White carrying the menu. I wanted it. I don’t know. I forgot about [Music] [Music] How can you bike for 10 hours? They only order one burger. This burger has three patties, three slices of cheese, three bacons, four onion rings, and a partridge in a pear tree. [Music] They’re just my like order number. They’re not to actually eat. Let me just go check. See, three beef patties, three cheese, three bacon, pickled bread, onion, four onion rings. I thought they were on those three trends and it fit. Lettuce, tomato, barbecue sauce, and jalapeno mayonnaise. [Music] highlight of the day. So like, okay, if you really like food and snacks and like chocolate and beer, if you go on a bike tour, you can have all the food you want. You want burgers and pizza and sodas, then it’s good for you. You need the calories. Leave the beer to the end of the day, though. I want disclaimer. It’s good carbs at the end of the day. [Music] I have all that without a bike tour. But you probably shouldn’t. That’s the point. On a bike tour, you should. It’s a bike tour to your nearest burger joint. Well, depends how far that is to your nearest burger joint. If you’re really in the boonies and has a, you know, a 50 km ride out, 50 kilometer ride in, you can have that burger no problem. As much as you want. Doesn’t ebike too count if you turn the ebike part off. Okay, wait a sec. Ebikes are usually pedal assist. I don’t even know. Like it depends on your pedal assist level. Like how much is actually going on? Hold up. Are they playing that movie The Blind Side on this TV, too? We were in another bar pub in Finland. And they’re playing Blind Side. The Blind Side, whatever it is, the football film with that girl. They are. Why does every bar in Finland play the Blind Side? They don’t even do football here. You still put 200 250 watts down an ebike. So you can put down as little or as much. I feel like if you’re cranking out 200 to 250 watts on your legs on an ebike, you’re trying real hard. Sandra Bulock’s American sweet. I saw like just Sandra Bulock’s face or whatever and I’m just like, “Wait, I’ve seen this somewhere before recently.” Anyway, I just think that’s a strange coincidence to have the same movie cuz like it just doesn’t play well. What is that? Skippy 999 cheered 100 bits. You are in the true show. They play the same thing at every place. I guess so. It just isn’t a good bar movie. Very American stylish place. Is it because the American flags here? The universe is trying to call you something. Am I going to make it as a as a football player? The football it calls to me. It was a good bar movie. I don’t know. Just play some like cliche 80s action film in the background. You don’t have to like listen to the words. You just have to see the explosions. Very cool. Thank you very much. Thanks. Oh no. I’m going to need some cutlery. [ __ ] This the patties look really good on this though. How am I supposed to bite? Oh, it’s very hot. my hands. I’m going to wash my hands real quick. foreign speech. [Music] She said free burger over there. I don’t know how to attack this. It’s so thick. We can do this. I’m going to leave the stick in for a little bit. It’ll help it from sliding off of itself. It’s quite good. Like, okay, to my taste, you don’t need all the sauces on here. Like a bit of a a sauce, but the the the patties and all the toppings do enough. They’re really like salsas here, but the pies here look homemade. Oh my good. They do a good job of making a good patty. Yeah, that’s a good burger. Impressive that holds together that well. That’s why this is still here. I think if I took that out, it would all start sliding away. [Music] EU can’t do burger well. I didn’t say they can never do a burger. Well, I just say in general burgers are better in North America than Europe. This is a very good burger though. You know what they’re channeling? NA style. They’re just taking North American style burgers and adopting it into Europe. This is objectively a really good burger. How many burgers have you had in Finland? What percentage of them have been good? I haven’t had many burgers in Finland. I’ve been trying to eat like not burgers. Like I’ve been having like reindeer and salmon soup and finished things. I’ve been trying to not always. So I’ve had a burger. It’s probably just been like a in the heat of the moment cheap burger. Oh, yeah. Reindeer burger. I did have a reindeer burger. Okay. You’re absolutely right. That’s one form we’ve eaten reindeer, which was good as well. You guys got a better memory than me. Expensive. This was €19 for burger. which for a burger I would say is expensive. The cheapest burger was their basic burger actually I can tell you is 1150. One patty, cheese, red onion, lettuce, tomato, barbecue sauce. Unacceptable. You need the three by three by three by four by pickles and onions. You need to go to Hesburg. How can you look at this burger right now and tell me I have to go to Hesburg? I haven’t even been to Hesburg, but based on what you guys have told me, it’s nothing special. local. That’s a All fast food chains suck. I think In-N-Out Burgers are objectively a good fast food chain and good value. It’s not too expensive. Just a good simple burger with some good made inhouse fries. Don’t eat the wood stick. I’m using it to save the burger from falling apart. [Music] Skippy 999 cheered 100 bits. As I’ve said before, please try at one point. It’s nothing special and British food in general like all fast food, but it’s for the experience. No. And I’ve said several times when there’s Minasburg, I’m like, I have to try it at some point, but then there’s like a more interesting option and I go for that instead for that reason. I’m just like, I kind of know what it’s going to be and I’m not that motivated to go out of my way to have it. But like if it’s an easy option, I just need a meal, we’re going to get it. New York. at the Eastern Finland. I think we’re going Central. This is going to take a while to settle in my stomach when I get back on the bike. It’s on the burger. Three patties, three slices of cheese. Pretty sure it’s more than three pieces of bacon, but this like three servings of bacon. Um, some onion rings, some red onion, some sauces. Probably missing a few things. like special sauce. There’s um a jalapeno mayo and a barbecue sauce both on here. [Music] No, we’re losing it. tried a couple different long cares. Uh just the original and pineapple. See, I didn’t even feel hungry, but like I love bike touring cuz my appetite can just handle this [ __ ] you know? Getting tired after this burger. I’m curious how I feel getting back on the bike after this, though. Cuz this is heavy. I wonder how many calories this is. Any guesses? 1,500 1,800 2,000 over 9,000. and stop. This one’s really We just had a big burger argument. Everyone’s fighting about burgers cuz I was saying burgers are better in North America in general. Europeans got real offended. And then we get this burger here in Finland and it’s really objectively good. And the key to a good burger is the patties. And I just find a lot of the burger patties in Europe and when you go and get a burger, they’re like sad. They they look sad. They’re just sad floppy burgers. But anyway, this is objectively a very good Olu is Burger City. I thought it was a bike city. Bikes and burgers. Cost for that bad boy. It ain’t cheap. It was €19 or something like that. My bank account hurts, but my stomach is is happy. Well, getting full. Find European food to be better or Canadian. Here’s the thing. I find European food culture more interesting than Canadian food culture. But what is Canadian food culture? Canadian food culture is pretty much everyone else’s food culture outside of like poutine, which is French Canadian, maple syrup, which isn’t even food. It’s a condiment. We don’t have much of our own, but we have a nation full of immigrants that have brought their culture to Canada. And you can find great examples of like every other country’s food in Canada. Um, like in in like Vancouver or something like that, you can get good anything. about qualitywise. Yeah. Like if we’re only talking a major city, like I mean like when you get like whatever food, Japanese, Chinese, Indian food, American food, Italian food, like you can just find really good examples of it. Small town Canada on the other hand might have like some kind of like couple little diners and then you’ll have your usual suspect fast food joints. The small town diners I love for breakfast but like I wouldn’t say always the quality of like the dinners is that high. It’s okay. Got more potatoes, rice or pasta. I just feel like we don’t have like a single like direction that our food goes. Cuz when I think of like my me growing up and like what was made at home, it was all that. It was potatoes. It was past it. It was rice. I’m going to pick a few of the things up here. That was greasy. Jeez. I was kind of intimidated when that thing came out. I didn’t know if I could handle this. I’m going to wash my hands properly, too. I’m just wiping my hands. Then I’m going to pick up the beef patty. But anyway, named that Pro King. I immediately wanted this and I wanted to like recline and like lean back into a seat, but I don’t have a back. Don’t jump. Open your menu. That fork is like someone else’s order number. 21. Now I’ll eat the onion ring and I’ll leave the looks like a piece of bread and a piece of tomato. That mistake, guys. Think you can burn a day on these trips? If we’re doing like a full touring day, I think I should be eating like 5,000 calories, which is like my my base met my base metabolic rate of like probably like 2100 calories or something like that, plus like 3,000 calories of of biking calories. have the SA guy in Olu. Oh yeah, I was offered another place in Olu. We had a apartment offered, but then that didn’t work out and now we have potentially another offer for a place in Olu. Um, so we’ll see. We’ll start heading heading that way. If I get an offer that pans out, then maybe we’ll ride right into the city. If not, I’ll probably camp before the city. dipped. Didn’t he have like a 12 month sub symbol or 6 month sub symbol? Exposing 12 minutes. Well, I’m like done. So, I’m just going to wash my hands and refill my water bottle. All You close it just thanks uh Egghehead. Thanks for the prime off to the the hitchhikers. Oh yeah, it’s pretty loud right now, isn’t it? Cuz the mic’s actually over here. It sounds fine on the bike, but for dessert. I got some bilar some Swedish cars to eat. Janice Burger, Trevor Seal approved. Yeah. No, like I’d recommend this place. Absolutely. Um, now, okay, let me be clear. It’s really hard for me to actually like be served a meal and be objectively disappointed. I’m hard to disappoint. I don’t know if that’s a good or a bad thing, but I think I’m happier for it. All right. That’s a challenge. Challenge accepted. Okay. But the other thing is if I’m like treated poorly with like malice, like you can tell they’re trying to be rude, then I might lightly talk some [ __ ] But like I don’t like like talking down on a business on stream because if the only thing that would happen in that circumstance would be I voice my opinion and that’s the end of it and that was guaranteed that would be fine. But like when you have a community online and you talk [ __ ] about a place whether your reasons are valid or not that can cascade and I don’t want to cause any drama. Genuine bad. Would you say it or just play it off though? See, that that’s my question is like I can’t really think of many times when something’s been objectively bad. But if a business just has a bad day and they do like one bad meal, do I want to like tarnish the reputation with more than one bad review? Because my bad review is carries probably more weight than a random Google review. saying is you would recommend this place is a euphemism for me. No, like if I’m objectively at the end of the meal saying I would recommend you come here, that is a legitimate like I think this is good. You should try it. If I eat and I’m kind of just like It was fine. It like I still like I said I’m I’m very difficult. It’s very hard for me to be disappointed and I’m just It was fine. There’s nothing exciting about it. But like it’s not a bad review. It’s not a good review. It just is what it is. YouTubers do reviews and give critique as well. And like objectively like so many people create content out of like drama and like just critically destroying a a business but with like a really harsh review to your large community is drama. It’s a form of drama. I just don’t want to be a part of it. I just don’t I I’m just traveling, enjoying myself. I like pretty much everything. Everything I dip my toes into, I’m just like, that’s pretty nice. I enjoy that. And you know what? I like that about myself. I like that. Some people everything they’re exposed to they try to like pick it apart, tear it apart and be like it’s horrible because of this and this and this and this and this and this and this. And I just think that is like such an depressing mentality. Because you never try to just like enjoy something. You’re just trying to find the bad in it. All right. I’m going to wash my hands and ask if I can go refill my water bottle. I’ll be right back. [Music] [Music] [Applause] Okay. All right. That took a second. This is getting dirty. Okay. water from host. This is actually like from my little water dispenser thingy for like drinking water. Just have it in a big car thing. I don’t know. All right. Place closed in 2 minutes. Like one guy has just started eating his burger. Like it’s right in front of him. So, I don’t think I’m in a rush to get out of here, but um I’m still going to get out of here. Okay. Might be a little slow starting getting out of here and stuff. going to go to Tatty Wati’s place. I I don’t know. I’m going to start riding in the direction of Olu, but I don’t have any like details on that. So, I’m not planning for that because I don’t know. Okay. What’s our distance so far today? come up with the signs that sweater, American flag, and Route 66 is the same place. Like for places that are trying to look American and American flag and Route 66 are like very iconic American symbolisms. And then the sweater is just like the JNS burger like I don’t know. Is that supposed to look like a some kind of I was going to say Letterman jacket but it’s not that but like in that realm. 92. That’s pretty good. It’s a Yeah, that’s not a sweater. It’s a jacket. That’s true. A bomber jacket. Yeah, I think that’s right. Wash my hands. Can we steal the jacket? I kind of like the jacket. decided to come here about 40k from where you are now. Okay. Are you in a house or an apartment? I was thinking like bike and stuff. So, yeah, Tadiwad and chat is potentially offering a place to stay um in Olu, which should be nice and I could shower since it’s gotten a little bit warmer. I feel like I might smell a little bit. But a good shower then sauno and then sleep probably be a good combo. Okay. Anyway, let’s get on the bike and give her house. I can fit the bike and trailer in my garage. Whoa, that sounds pretty premium. I’m interested. cuz when I’m asking like questions, figuring out the situation, that’s not meant to be critical. I I I just have a lot with all the stuff I I have to run the stream. So, [Music] Miles Vivid just subscribed with Twitch Prime. Hey, so I got to like unlock this thing, but it’s like then the whole thing like unlocks. I don’t know, man. I can’t relock it. So, uh, but Miles Vivid, thanks for the six month prime. I think the solar panel left partly left the sun. So, you’re saying there’s a we get Are we getting any? Come on, baby. Door 7 watts. Yeah. Oh, you guys can really see that. Seven. H. Okay. You on? Oh, but the battery is going down. The battery charging this must be dying. Let’s see. Ah, nice. The battery is going down. The battery charging this must be dying. Let’s see. Ah, nice. Still working. Got your money for nothing and your chicks for free. We’ve got to move these refrigerators. We’ve got to move these color TVs. Check if the solar panel is working correctly. We’ve gotten up to like 190 watts on this trip in midday sun. It’s working fine. I’m curious once we get a little bit further south if like midday sun we can still get to like close to that 225 nominal wattage or if it’s degraded a little bit. Either way, it’s fine. It’s just more a curiosity rather than anything else. Got to swap batteries for the bike cameras. I know all y’all hate small talk, but like as a hitchhiker, I don’t mind a little like like I hope to move past the small talk and into deeper conversation, but you can’t just expect to like talk to someone for the first time and then immediately be like, I don’t know, getting real deep. You got to start small. Stick [Music] 7 watts in the shade. We had like 5% of the panel in the sun. So, like, well, okay. In a second, I’ll show you what we’re working. Okay. Close. Zipper. Do the zipper thing. There you go. That’s enough. him. Okay. Have a garbage bin here. Is that garbage bin? Is it? It’s just a barrel with a lid. [Music] Okay. Getting a little cold in the shade. We will warm up. All right, I think we’re locked and loaded. Ready to go. Hey, nice to meet you. What’s the meaning of uh of this everything? Yeah. 42. Okay. I have to pee in a bush at some point. Probably should have peed at the burger joint, but that’s okay. The world is a great place to pee. Okay. He’s near. Oh, we’re like third. I think the sign said 36. The most recent bike sign. That building behind you. This one, that’s a burger joint. We just had a a big burger there. Americaized. Peing bush better than peeing toilet. I agree. I like being outside. Something about feels good. Feels right. Actually, I feel like we can plug this thing and put it back in the little case. I like having it in the case. I can like control the stream while I’m riding a bit better. Nothing to aim to. I like to aim at random things though. Do you guys have smoke weed sometimes? In Canada, it’s legal and therefore it’s good. I will go to Canada. You will for that. Okay. For the weed, it’s very legal. You have to in Canada? Yeah. Yeah. It’s good. I can get weed deliveries faster than Amazon deliveries. Can you get it here? I think that’ll be pretty illegal. Yeah. I don’t know. I might end up in prison. And I don’t really want to go to prison. I don’t think you want to either, right? I only will smoke my weed. Only will smoke your weed? Yeah, but it’s not legal here, is it? No, you got to come to Canada. You have to come to whatever. Don’t need to type it there. Accidentally put the iPhone into like sleep mode. I was just putting it in his case and I just hate it if you like accidentally like swoop up or something like that. it like closes the app or it just puts it into the background. An iPhone doesn’t do anything in the background. You have to always have an app immediately open for it to do anything. It’s annoying. Rare A in the clip. Did I throw an A? Nice. Anyway, 40K to Olu or no 34 according to this professional streamer. Well, if iPhones just let us run something for 10 seconds in the background, it wouldn’t be a problem. Wait, did they say straight? Yeah. Okay. Olu, we might get a sauna tonight, guys. I’m trying to sound as many days as possible while in Finland. Mostly cuz my exit strategy is to transition to a pools, beaches, and hot tub streamer. And sauna is like a is a nice way to like bridge into that territory. Oh, loop sound streamer. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. See, Wyiver seems to think I don’t need to be in the pools, beaches, and hot tubs category mid sauna. And I’m like, I don’t see what’s any different about the content that you choose, beach hot tub. Like, you’re wearing a swimsuit, you’re all wet. As far as like if someone wants to objectify someone, they seem about the same, but he’s like, nah. You don’t have to be in that category. And I think he just thinks my boobs aren’t big enough. Wow. Wow. Heat. You have to be in it or it’s double standards. See, that’s what I think. If the girls have to be in it, then I got to be in it. son review channel YouTube in Canada. Yeah. But like I got to get a lot of experience before I feel like I can be a good sound reviewer. Oh yeah, I was going to push the bike into the sun and see how many watts we were getting in full sun cuz we were getting 7 watts with 95% of the panel in the shade and 5% in the sun. But how’s the burger feel? A little heavy. Little heavy. Heat. Heat. [Applause] the little heaters to sell them on the Canadian market, but you can get apparently at the high quality quality finished saunas in Canada. People just don’t understand how to make the saunas like a sauna room. And then they also don’t understand some critical aspects of Finnish sound culture like the lu. You go to public saunas, there’s a big sign being like do not put water on the sauna stones. This is a dry sauna. No, it’s wrong. Long way was like the best part. Heat. Heat. [Applause] of the is just a warm room then. I know, but that’s what a lot of people think a sauna is quite often like at these places there’s a steam room and they’re like, “Okay, if you want steam, go to the steam room. Want dry heat? Go to the sauna. Wow, look at the size of the multi-use path. Why is it so big? Oh, it’s been really nice today. Yeah, it’s been Couldn’t really ask for a better day for uh bike touring weather. Oh my. Wait. Oh, just wait. Huh? Okay. This Oh, this isn’t the highway. This is just the Is this a secondary road? I don’t even know where I am. I want to run over that can, but it’s a bad idea. Storm as bad as people predicted? No, it was just dreary. It wasn’t even that windy or anything. I wouldn’t have called it a storm. At least in Roani, it wasn’t much of a storm. It’s a rudder. I wasn’t following the official bike signs. So, I’m not following my map. I’m following the signs on the road. Uh, Dream Crypt, thanks for the 8 months. Prime resub through some small villages. Oh my god, the random giant holes in the road. They’re so regular and like the road’s in good shape outside for the of the giant cracks in it. Why ride on wrong side of the road? I’m a vehicle. I ride on the same side as vehicles. It’s pretty much a universal thing. Yeah. Yeah. There’s a sign for Olu. Is this like a like a like like a like like a like a county like a a region [Applause] thing is like it’s kind of annoying cuz the road’s in good shape except for these giant holes in it. They’re just like vertical cracks in the road. So, I pick up good speed on the good shaped tarmac, but these giant cracks every 20 m or whatever just rock your world. Right by the city area. Really? Huh? [Applause] Oh my god. I’ve been so complimentary of of the finished roads. The bike paths are quite often in reasonably bumpy states. The roads have been quite smooth. This one is less. So, how’s day going, guys? Good. We’re uh well, we’ve had great weather today. The bike tour’s been nice. Had some highway driving, but that wasn’t so bad. My chat disconnected. And he’s back. Uh, we’re doing some decent distance. Should be like 30ish by the time we’re done or 120. I don’t know something. Highway driving was awful. Well, I’m the one that was doing it in the bike touring world. That was not bad at all. You ain’t seen nothing yet. Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. Heat. stop. At some point, my battery is connecting and disconnecting from my chat phone. It’s just on off with every bump, which is every 5 seconds. How you holding up? Oh, I feel good. My body’s in touring shape now, so the riding feels pretty good. I can’t complain. And then I’m having great weather today and mostly yesterday, but we got lucky. There was rain squalls all over the place. Like little tiny concentrated pockets of rain that was just dumping down. And we were dancing around them all day. We only got wet like one time and we could have gotten destroyed like 20 times yesterday in the charging port. I’m pretty sure it’s the on the battery side. It’s just getting wiggled loose. It’s an old battery now cuz I think last time I guess it was with this one I switched it to the other USBC charging port like out port and it stopped doing that. I just forgot which battery I was working with. I think they figured out the whole riding the bike side of the road discussion. I think that was pretty amicable. Someone said you ride on the left or like why are you riding on the wrong side of the road? Everyone was like, “No, you ride on the right side here.” And they discussed it a bit. I think it’s been settled. Just a normal discussion. Nothing crazy. Heat. Heat. Jesus, the delay. Yeah, I have a horrible delay, which hopefully we’ll figure out for tomorrow. Solar trailer doing it runs the broadcasting gear so I never have to plug in batteries off power mains. powering the bike. As far as driving it forward, that’s all legs and food in my belly. solar panels of trailer. My trailer is a giant solar panel. That’s a 225 watt solar panel. She’s large and in charge. Couldn’t even say the light. 325 watt with 75% shade. Well, yeah. In the evening when the sun gets low and you’ve got trees, what do you want the sun to do? Should the solar panel like launch up 30 m so it can get the sun right now? It works best midday, but that’s how the sun works. [Applause] Well, looks pretty clean. We cleaned it today. We cleaned it yesterday, but then it got rained on and got a bunch of spray from the road and need another clean. Heat. Heat. [Music] Come here. to live and work in EU full-time. I’m still young enough. Some countries are 30 or under, but some are 35 and under for like a working holiday visa. So, I get a working holiday visa. The thing is like if I got a working holiday visa, I’m supposed to like kind of live and work in that country in Shenhen Europe. And the rest of the Shenhen rules like I think technically still apply. You’re not supposed to get a working holiday visa and then just use it to spend a year just buming around everywhere in Shenhen, Europe. Now, most people, I’m sure, could get away with it cuz who the hell’s going to know? But the thing is I’m live streaming it. GL live has less much tag or less lag than Twitch and YouTube, which is interesting cuz the the biggest part of lag is uh at the server side. So our service kind of being messed up lately, which is interesting. I really haven’t had any issues with this server company until this trip. I having several different times. Need a digital nomad visa, but I’m still supposed to like mostly be in that country that I got a digital nomad visa for. So, I got one for Portugal. Like, I’m supposed to be like kind of living and working in Portugal as a digital nomad. [Music] latency to your OBS server. Yeah, it’s like within our server things are [ __ ] But from Yeah, technically from server to Twitch, it’s a nice short amount, but I think it’s longer throughout the day if certain conditions are met, which we’ve apparently diagnosed. And now we just need to figure out how to have that not happen. What’s the 90day shenan rule? It’s 90 days in 180day period. So you can’t just fly away and leave leave and come back. Some countries let you do that, but it’s obviously just bypassing what they’re trying to do. So for Shenhen, you get your 180day clock starts as soon as you’re stamped for your Shenhen visa and then it counts down. So within that 180 days, you’re allowed to spend up to 90 of them in Shenhen Europe. All right, that’s two second delay, but we’re at like 20 to 30 seconds delay. I could excuse up to like maybe 10 seconds. We should be more in like the 5 6 7 second range. 20 to 30 is unacceptable. What did the flight last 90 days? That’s a long flight. Um, but yeah, that totally falls within the rules. So, take your 90-day flight and come back. 20 to 30. As I said, there’s an issue with the server. We know what it is. We just need to figure it out so it doesn’t happen every day. At the beginning of the stream, it’s a normal amount of delay and then it just gets longer. throughout the day based on certain parameters. So conf you need to work visa stream another country seems to be a big thing. Probably technically you’re supposed to but in reality no you don’t. They could decide to crack down on that at any point that they want to. Um but like so when I cross into Europe they never ask me any questions. I’m Canadian. They don’t really care. When I cross in the United States though, I get like full interrogation and I tell them all about my stream and all this stuff. And I even ask them straight up. I’m just like, “This is what I do for work.” As far as I know, since I’m not taking Americans jobs, you guys don’t seem to really care about that. They’re like, “Yeah, we don’t really care. They don’t care about YouTubers. They don’t care about Twitch streamers.” They don’t think you’re taking anyone’s jobs. And that’s the big thing they’re worried about. Now Europe can be completely different. The thing is they never ask me. So no Mando. Uh yeah, a little bit cuz I did see like his uh his kick stream. I saw he was on a bike tour and then he was in my uh stream chatting a little bit. interrogation you get for the Southeast US bike stream? Uh, good question. Actually, not much because as soon as you say you’re on a bike tour, they don’t care. The thing is like when I when you say what you’re doing and you say you’re traveling across the country like you’re going to use American terms 3,000 miles. I’m like that’s really far. How are you doing it? I’m not going to lie. So if I’m on a hitchhiking trip I’m going to tell them I’m hitchhiking. They just really hate that answer. So and then it causes all kinds of issues. And because I’ve been completely honest, they never catch me in a lie cuz I’m never telling a lie. I have evidence to back up everything I say. Whether that’s about the broadcast or about having funds or about tickets to TwitchCon or whatever. Everything I say that I’m doing, I can back up. And that is the most important thing because at first they interrogate you and ask you a ton of questions and then they’re essentially like now prove it. And that’s the critical part. Green light. Oh yeah, I was going too slow. No. Oh, that was the shortest green light ever. Anyway, Olu 24 apparently Okay. Doesn’t detect bikes. Well, it turned green when there’s no one here. Although, okay. No, it’s just not going to turn green for me. And they’re going to turn right. Okay, it did turn green for me. Feel like it’s like car stopped there. We can get some lolu tonight. Uh yeah, we uh are apparently being offered a sauna in Olu. Um, we have a viewer that’s let me crash at their place so I can park my bike and trailer in their garage and they got a sauna. Why you waiting lights for cars? I try to follow the road rules. We just had a nice conversation about how a bike is considered a vehicle. I know a lot of cyclists blow through everything, but to the best of my abilities, I try to be a nice, respectful road user. A little left. Do I got a bike path? Maybe. Let’s see. Oh, to the left. To the left. H. streaming from his house. I I think so. I’m not going to show his location. I’m going to go into privacy and then turn off my um GPS tracker. But bathtub or other Oh, I will ask about that cuz I I want to figure out why my sleeping pad has a puncture. Wow, this is nice. Oh, yeah. Real nice. Wow. Your bicycle outside overnight. I just said that he’s letting me put it in his garage. He’s got a house and a garage and a sauna. Everything I could ever ask for garden to camp. I don’t know what the sleeping situation is. Whether it’s camping or a floor or couch or whatever, all works. I’m not picky. So apparently Olu is the uh capital biking capital Band or I don’t know if it’s an official title or just random things a couple people have said but anyway there’s a lot of biking infrastructure. We’re still like 20 kilometers from what that sign back there said is Olu, but we got this nice separated bike path uh straight 22 km. Who said that? People don’t know someone. self-claimed title. I don’t know, man. Winter biking capital. I don’t know. I looked like pee. Who pees in the middle of the path? A moose. Swarm of bugs. [Music] Wow, look at wood plank. Heat. Heat. All right, new sign. Olu straightish with a little curve in it. Olu, right? Great signage. Bullmous can pee up to a gallon or 3.785 L at once. Same [Music] Yeah, bugs in my mouth. Great kilometer today. Yeah, we’re doing it. We’re doing the thing. So, I’m getting to the city and then we’re going to see if we can figure out this thing at our viewer friend’s place. Um, but yeah, I’d be in privacy mode and turn off GPS for that. So we’d have a little bit of privacy mode for that. Having dogs in the bike capital that can’t handle seeing bikes. Suspicious. I’m just like constantly chewing on bugs. They keep flying in my mouth. Yeah. Olu straight. Got it. trailer is extra squeaky today. We just got it like fully lubed up at that bike shop in Roven. Why is it so squeaky already? straight. Trust just blowing through these intersections. camping after the city. We have a viewer that’s offered me place to crash and a sauna. Heat. Heat. Very friendly viewers. See, I’m proud of my community from live streaming. I think you guys are a good group of people. And I’ve said this before, but I think you’re like community online is a reflection of you as a broadcaster. So if you have a really toxic community, that kind of shines a light on you. So that makes me feel good. address. Come meet you there. Maybe 10 to 15 minute rides from there. Yeah, sure. Um, so so we’ll ride together back. So, since it’s not your host address, you can post it publicly and then I’ll just put into my GPS and ride there. And then we’ll ride back and I’ll just go into privacy mode at some point along the ride. right there and then back with you. All right, cool. Sounds good. $56.9 dude. Thanks for the nice donation. The 690 mech. [Music] Ah, 18. really doesn’t know remember is this for educate does or educate me at least. It’s from a political satire from early 2000s. Ah, I feel like a significant portion of the Finnish memes I get are are are political in nature. For example, Oh, straight side is healthy when you make fun of any politicians. This is true. All right. Don’t get hit by a cart. Oh, nice. [Music] Need to volunteer for a timeout testing some stream buddy stuff. Who wants one? Yeah, there you go. Where’s the volunteers? Stop for too long. Oh, 10 minute vent or time out. [Applause] Well, now everyone’s going to be asking for a timeout. And so I’m saying that horribly. Sorry. Have a good journey, brother. Thank you. It’s been good so far. Let’s keep it going. Two two two two people right now. It’s a lot of twos. Nice lake scenery incoming. Oh, nice. It’s a beautiful evening. I think the lake view would would be a beautiful thing. Still 12 hours of sunlight. No. Okay. The sun sets here like just after midnight and it comes up at 2. Should we even further south? Maybe it’s like 2 and 1/2 hours of sunset. doesn’t get dark, but it technically sets 2391 Twitch. Oh, wait. 99 more followers to go, guys. Okay, good amount of people watching right now. We are apparently 99 followers away from 150,000 followers. If you’re watching the stream, think content’s neat. You can come back for more someday, maybe tomorrow. consider following kind of trying to hit that 150,000. It’s a nice milestone. wants to get in pools, hot tubs, and beaches. That’s true. We’re going to farm all the followers once I get in my swimsuit and take my shirt off. Easy. So the journey going uh through Finland we’re going to Helsinki. So right south and we’ll take a ferry to Estonia. I thought Estonia last Lithuania and really how much time I have on my Shenhen visa as a Canadian is how far I’ll go. swimsuits are not allowed in Finland. I know proper sauna attire is naked. Um, but it is against Twitch’s YouTube and kicks turn. Wait. Well, Wyver was watching some naked yoga videos on YouTube and said, “Maybe there’s faster and looser rules on about nudity on YouTube.” All right, all the YouTube subscribers, I can have a proper sa kicking Twitch. Unfortunately, uh, it’s a nogo. Oh, left 15. Nice. Said no such things. You were talking about the naked uh yoga. They said, “Whatever you do, don’t search naked yoga on YouTube.” Which just is a self-confession more than anything. Pixert, it didn’t happen. I’m going back in your chat logs. You look at my stream buddy logs, I’ll look at your chat logs. did not say you were watching. You were just respectfully browsing the category. Why would you do yoga naked? I feel like yoga is actually a good thing to do naked. Polar is uh selfidentifying as searching for that for educational purposes as well. Pimp Wolf gifted a tier one sub to Hangar 10. This is their first gift sub in the channel. Uh, pimp left. Hope I said that right. Thanks for the gifted sub. Much appreciated. Very kind of you. It’s a thing. It’s called hot yoga. Some hot yoga is usually with clothes on. Sometimes not many clothes. I go to hot yoga. We’re not naked. How much yoga have you done? I’m sure you can find naked yoga in places. Sometimes it’s negative based on what you watching it on YouTube. You also did yoga naked at home. Sure. But I’m like a nudist, so that’s fine. Why not in McDonald’s? Naked hot yoga. H. It’s my tier four content I get at home. Yeah, cuz you don’t subscribe to my channel. So, I feel like I should no longer do that. You just get gifted subs. I buy recurring subs for your channel 6 months at a time, Sarah. I’m your number two supporter cuz I was your second subscriber. Someone sniped the number one spot. [Applause] three or four subs so I get more yoga. You should do some yoga too, Sarah. I think you’d like it once you learn it. You read the email. I just Tanya manage that. Which email? I Tanya manages that pretty much. Imagine [Applause] costumes you’re a hot naked yoga instructor. You’re just as self-identifying as hot. I’m like, wow, this person is really full of themselves. Notice the address TD gate. No. What is it? My trailer’s so squeaky. Offer when we get this, Tony. All right, cool. Cuz yeah, Tanya gets a lot of people sending um things that people think I should be doing or offers from them as well. So, she’ll look through that list. She was off yesterday, so apparently she has a bunch of messages to go through. Wait, wait. Okay, one sec. Let me stop here. Uh off to the side. Kinty51 Olu. Okay. Yeah. Um whatever. Can you like enable copy and pasting from stream buddy? Why can’t I copy and paste? Cuz I don’t want casar minty. Why it got to be like that? Casar mint tea. Oh, I missed. I hold down on a button.

Uh, copy show button. Okay, there you go. That’s it. Just had to enable it. It’s not on by default. Why not? Noise is taking down. It was a setting in the app you have to enable. Right. All right. We’re 15 km from our Casar Minty 51. 45minute ride according to here. Um yeah, I’d say like based on like looking at the urban area, we’re like of Olu at this point. Um we’re going to stay north of the downtown core it seems to get to this location. Um and then we’re going to ride to our viewers place. But I think for now I don’t need to put my navigation up because it’s uh just follow the main road in for now. sign a support contract like maybe okay but ever since I okay support me ever since I changed the bottom bar thing I can’t get Google Maps to do that little picturein picture map thing that I find convenient have a little drink make a little love get down All right.

Oh, my trailer is so squeaky. should only eat licorice here. I’m not a huge like I’ll eat some licorice, but I’m not going to like select it as my snack of choice. Heat [Music] up [Applause] here. Looks like these must look scary at night. What’s scary about it? This normal bike path next to a road. There’s even street lights here. Undertaker 355 just subscribed with Twitch Prime. Ditch heart.
