We're getting the highlights of his bike journey. I'm sure there were days of rain, snow, hail, poor food and frozen extremities where he went "what THE FUCK was I thinking". But you get through those moments and enjoy the spaces in between. I tree plant in BC and thats my experience at life.

If you go into a travel situation thinking everything is easy, it's going to be fun and you'll never have a bad day, man you are wrong. Gotta be realistic and accept those shit days and keep on.

Personally the friends part of your question hits home, when you leave home for extended periods of time, your friends and family puts down roots while you're out chasing rides. I very much enjoy tree planting and traveling on my own because I feel free. And I've always made friends where ever I end up sleeping that night.

Hey OP, you can get small solar chargers for less than 30 bucks Canadian that power small devices. Hella recommend adding one to that list !

And then end the post with "I don't give a fuck, the good days are amazing!"

OP how do carry water on your trips? I really want to bike to BC next year from Ontario, but every small test trip I do is limited by water. Do you have a small bike trailer? Water purifying pills?

What happened when with the last deadline and dropoff? You seemed pretty certain you'd receive a suspension at the very least
