Channel Title: Ryan Kodak Brown Channel Description: My name's Ryan Brown, but on trail, people call me Kodak. You get the hint: I'm always behind my camera. Sharing stories from inspiring places and people is what I love to do. In 2012, I decided to sell everything I own and start traveling. Ever since, I've explored the world by bike, by car and on foot. Long-distance hiking and bike-packing are still my favorite ways of getting around. 10 years later and I'm still out there, but now together with my wife Ilse, whom I've met on the Pacific Crest Trail. Follow our adventures here or on our website (www.wilderland.media). Happy trails & thanks for following along! Kodak <video> Bikepacking the Montañas Vacías: 700km across Spain's wild landscapes Description: This is Ilse's first bikepacking adventure! She has never ridden more than 30km's on her city bike on the flat, city roads of Belgium. We followed the Montanas Vacias, a stunning bikepacking route that winds through the most remote region of Spain. We deal with mud that clings to everything and makes pedaling impossible. We encounter snow. We even run out of food. Most of all though, we enjoy our time in the wilderness and experience the culture of Spain.

After a hospital visit, it was clear that we needed to stay away from mosquito-infested fields. Instead, we traveled to the Norwegian coast and hiked part of the Lofoten Traverse. After that fun outing, we set foot on the Kungsleden to explore Sweden’s backcountry. ► GEAR : Tent: https://zpacks.com/products/duplex-tent?aff=86 Backpacks: https://alnk.to/8EJMJje Camera: https://amzn.to/4fJJ1wZ Sleeping bag (Ilse): https://alnk.to/hsvFM9M Quilt (Ryan): https://alnk.to/8EJMJpP ► ROUTES : - Nordkalottleden = Nordkalottruta = the Arctic Trail - Lofoten Traverse - Kungsleden ► THANKS TO : Smartwool Europe and MRE Mountain meals for supporting our dreams and projects! ► FUTURE PLANS : We just returned from a bikepacking trip throughout Austria and Italy.

The documentary also explores the origins of the Great Divide Trail and details the challenges of building and maintaining a long, mountainous route.
