Followed their trip on their blog for a long time.   Hard to know what to think!    I would never load all that stuff on a bike to take into the wild regions of the world.    On the other hand, I've never been on the road for 4 years either.

So more power to 'em!

Why not flip the canoe upright and fill it up with gear and then tarp it over?

We did have a guy who pulled a small fishing boat behind his bike back in the 70s. At some point, he got a bit fast and the boat and trailer got airborne behind the bike. It was ugly. He didn't die but he never did it again.
