Exploring The Queendom: Part One - Video and Photos

 Going to have to agree with you. Epic adventure but kind of defeats the purpose of biking when you have to drive/boat/heli before you even start pedaling.

 Who gives to shits about carbon foot print. We are all huge foot prints just for watching this on our devices and then going out and riding our bikes made in huge factories. It must be rad to have a boat load of money or have someone pay for you to go ride and do things like this.

 ..

 @Shinobi13: Maybe those of us who care about the wild places we like to visit? Yes, we all have an unavoidable footprint, but that doesn't mean we should just give up - we can still work to decrease that footprint. The world is not binary, and there is a huge space in between zero footprint, and heli rides to work every day, that we can make a difference within.

 Probably a lot less than Where the Trail Ends, producing Rampage, or even a small pro World Cup team and I don't read or hear people asking about those...

 @kevmocal: Valid. Not to mention all those damned cars that follow the TdF for a month! You're right, there's not enough attention brought to the matter at hand. I get it, just because one's a mountain biker doesn't automatically infer that they agree with anthropogenic climate change and wish to address it in their own way. But, as Delusional states so succinctly above, we need to begin to be aware of the impacts all of our actions make if we care about those places.

 doesn't have to be though. i hear these guys are planning to spoc it:

 Yeah and WC DH is green. They could've heli'd directly into the area. But a Heli bump is likely cheaper

 Yeah, awesome work mate!

 Go to where the trail ends then just keep on going, or look on google

 @aljoburr: or go where google ends

 I'm a big fan of the SPOTs, been using them since gen1 for backcountry shenanigans they keep getting better. (They also make it easier for loved ones to rest easy while I'm out).

 Thanks for that link. But I wonder when that device could be replaced with a satellite phone?

 It's popular but it's one of the worst ones out there. www.outdoorgearlab.com/Personal-Locator-Beacon-Reviews

 @SithBike: Satellite phone serve a different purpose. You still need a GPS to know where you are when calling for help with a sat phone. Plus sat phones costs a lot more to operate.

 sponsored riders and people not affected by internet opinion. CB hasn't sold me a bad or defective part yet, and that includes a dropper, 2 sets of pedals, 2 different mini-tools, compact tire pump and grips. All of these items were also very well priced. Other than the grips all of these parts are still being used on my older bikes or are in my pack.

 .... and me, for more than 6 years on my xc bike.

 @Filberico - I've been really stoked on these wheels and I've pushed them hard this summer!

I was excited to use a system that would allow me to fix a broken spoke without compromising my tubeless tire system - there's NO Compressor where I love to ride. Spare spokes breakdown nice and small - fit in my pack ...

By default - I had many Whistler Bike Park days on them, hitting the bigger jumps / drops and they're still tight and true. I'm genuinely impressed. (I just wish they were a bit wider - cheeky smile.)

 @lbbikes: I ride handbuild DT wheels,no need for spare spokes..

 We'll go again @tranny-wrecker!

 It's South Coast Matt. Think of old glaciated terrain.

@brule - but it would have been a waste in bad weather

 That's up at the head of Powell Lake which heads north east from Powell River for close to 30 km, into some very rugged mountains. I know this from growing up in PR and holidaying there often after moving away, spending a fair bit of time on Powell Lake. Looks like some shots are from one of the many "floathouses" that line the lake. After boating to the end of the lake, logging roads could conceivably get one fairly close to that zone, but getting from roads end up into the alpine would likely be hell- BC coastal bushwhacking at its finest!

 @aka-bigsteve: thanks a lot. Not planning on being there in the near future but it's a beautiful spot and nice to know this info.

 You are a tool.

 I'm going to just leave my lotto numbers here: 50°15'36.29"N 124°17'58.20"W

 @mtnmanjake:
HAHA. I had google maps open in that exact area. Hit enter on you coordinates and it just zoomed in.

 @north-shore-bike-shop: Super easy to get to. Think day trip...

 @mtnmanjake: Part2

50°19'57.60"N
124°23'9.39"W

 @grumpybuilder: I actually thought it was somewhere else.

 Good eye @deiru! You can't go into the local mountains without the local brew!

 @mark4 Not sure of the exact model, could be the predecessor to these packs... www.arcteryx.com/product.aspx?language=EN&gender=mens&category=Packs&subcat=Daypacks&model=Alpha-FL-30-Backpack
Arc'teryx gear is unreal.

 @mark4 I'm a bit of a minimalist when it comes to my gear and this Arc'teryx pack was ideal for what I needed to haul my gear on this trip.

Lightweight - Highly water resistant / weatherproof construction / taped seams / 'watertight' zipper - uber durable ripstop material.

It's a favorite (for many adventures)!

 Looks like it's just a normal tarp strung over the bike to me. A standard tarp will do you well for many different setups like this. I quite like having the bike outside the tarp though for a bit more internal room.

This is how I had mine setup this weekend: goo.gl/photos/6dLrpZk5ynMR8bBs6

That's one end tied off to a tree, and the other with the guy line running over the bottom bracket. You could use a bike at each end as well if there were no trees around.
