Welcome to the official youtube channel for Suluk 46 - Engineered Backcountry Gear - we create the lightest equipment in the world, designed and built in Canada. My name is Steve Evans and I am the owner of Suluk 46. I started this channel when I first launched the company back in 2008 in hopes that I could help people get into the backcountry and display some of the gear and trips that I do. Over the years, I have uploaded various types of videos ranging from trips, testing of gear, gear reviews, and sometimes even vacation videos or bike rides with the team. The channel has evolved and now my primary focus is content on the building and testing of prototypes and market available gear, as well as multi-sport trips that often include biking, hiking, climbing, and paddling or packrafting. I prefer unique trips that haven't been done before and have a love for remote arctic adventures. Thanks for watching!
Rail Bike Camping Trip - 150 km ride through a Remote Wilderness Canyon on Abandoned Railways
A home made rail bike device is attached to the forks of a mountain bike in order to ride an abandoned and defunct railway through a remote wilderness canyon. The ride ends up being roughly 150 km in length over 2 days, and crosses old bridges, passes through ghost towns, and along scenic river valleys.

30 mile RAIL BIKE Adventure on Abandoned Railways
Переглядів 6 тис.Місяць тому
We set out for a 30 km rail bike ride shakedown trip to make sure the device was able to hold up to a day of riding. So far, it has not let us down. We had no issues, no derailments, and the only real problem was large blowdowns along the tracks. Some weeds and overgrowth had us slowing down at times, but wasn't a major issue. We are ready for our upcoming expedition in the coming weeks. This 2...

Laughing at the stupid commodification bringing a playtoy saw along when he has a card and could have made a trailer for a real clearing tool....but no money commodification paid...such rubbish on a good trip
how about an " E " version of your bike ?
Soon 😜
From my research this line is still used by the Agawa Canyon Tour Train from Aug to mid Oct. This may explain the brush cutting as part of Maintenance Of Way (MOW) work in preparation for the fall train tour season.
The cut trees and brush look a lot like they were cut with a brush cutter; it is mounted on a rail vehicle or a hyrail vehicle to cut the greenery. It has flail-type blades. Most railroad tracks were built with grades of less than 1.5 to 2% or 1.5 for every 100 forward to 2 for every 100 forward. I have never been there but this location makes me think this is in the Agawa Canyon and that would be the Algoma Central RR.
Such a great video. Very scenic and would love to do something like this.
Thanks. It was a fun trip.
Dude! We signed an NDA about that rear wheel tech. Now everyone knows! 🤦🏻♂️
Lol. The secret is out.
If you use crossbar from left side to rear wheel, when you brake you won’t fishtail
Would love a detailed video of the rail cart build…
I'll do one once I really work out the kinks. For now any of my previous videos cover it to some extent.
Brush mower cuts all brush on the sides of the track and basically mulches everything in its way…
Heliun gas? 😮
I would never lie about the insanotron 5 million.
Adding something like this to my bucket list.
It's super fun. You'll love it.
Have you ever tried a slick on the rear of the bike instead of a knobby?
I have not. Mostly because I usually combine some trails before and after the rail riding. If I was going to do just a rail ride, I would probably go slick.
💪🏆💪
Lot of shine on those rather well maintained 'abandoned and unused rails'.
What a cool contraption! It seems you could add other bike on the other side and have some company. Also, it seems like the sled could carry quite a bit more if needed. A rickshaw would be fun for kids.
It's designed for 2 bikes. This was the first time I used it with just 1 bike. You can see the mount on the other side. Check out my previous videos if you want to see it in 2 bike configuration. It's a ton of fun!
Are u in Canada? I hope u was packing heavy heat for them bears
All good. I had a pair of brass knuckles in my pocket.
god i wish that were me
It CAN be you!
It's very inspiring and fun to see
This is awesome. Just FYI we use those sea to summit bug tents. They weigh nothing total lifesaver. They are available in a few different sizes. You can sit inside and laugh at the bugs.
I've got a no big zone or something like that. They weren't too bad on this trip but they can get right down nasty at the right time if year.
@@Suluk46 figured you were a gearhead. great vid, subbed. love it.
Here in India, trains have become unavoidable. Automobile industry is not competing with railroad. We have men who patrol the tracks on foot . They check each and every bolt and nut to ensure safe and fast movement of trains. I want to know if these cycle would be of any use.
Probably a slide path from an avalanche.
Maybe 🤔
Why is the location top secret?
It's finally here 🥲
I got to give him props for saving the beer
Also, keep in mind that railways are not public property in Canada, even if "abandoned" - its still trespassing. Nevertheless, for those of you thinking of making one of these rail riders, please be careful because (a) if it breaks you're going to be stranded a loooooong way away so bring a GPS beacon like an inreach, and lots of repair gear (chain links, tires, etc.) and (2) make sure those rails are actually abandoned, trains can't stop and northern rails twist and turn everywhere. You won't be able to hear it coming. In my experience (and area in northern ON), most abandoned rails get yanked out for scrap, so if I see any rails I usually think "active"...
@@DalannSmallwoodYour arrogance is on show for all to see. You like being the focal point don't ya.
So, not abandoned entirely... the cut and shredded brush is done by the rail company, or hydro, sometimes by helicopter, specifically where power goes along the rails. Here's what they use: ua-cam.com/video/YOQGPdVPqQU/v-deo.htmlsi=q0OHnEcss5N0BxXY
Great trip! Love the Algoma area. Though I gotta say, that ghost town wasn't looking too ghosty---fresh steel roof, maintained grass....
Haha. I was trying to be a bit stealthy on the exact location. I know what goes on in the "ghost town".
Gonna need to fill me in 😮
That was good you put the forgotten tent in your video. It adds an element of reality of things that could happen…to any of us!
Glad you liked it. The tent fiasco was a serious blunder, still can't believe it. 😂
Well.. At least the tent dried.
Hahaha. You win comment of the month award.
What a trip! What wheels are you using?
The wheels on the rail bike rig? They are just skateboard wheels with 8mm bearings that I bought off Amazon. Nothing super special.
Where is this?
Looks the Agawa canyon in Algoma district. Near Sault Ste Marie, Ontario.
The most innovative piece of outdoor gear I have seen in years! Absolutely brilliant. I would love to try this out.
You'd love it. Like a roller coaster through the woods.
Found this video from Instagram. So glad I did. This is such a cool and different idea than I've ever seen before. Also really interested in buying some of your stuff so I'd say this video did it's job. Made sure to sub as well. Have to add Honda elements are some of the coolest and most reliable cars ever. Love it.
Glad you found it! And sounds like my global marketing strategy is really working 😂
Awesome video. I forgot my hammock tree straps on my Temagami bikepack trip.Luckily I had brought 2 sets for wrapping around big trees and I could of just tied the rope ends. I watched my video footage afterwards of me leaving camp to confirm. Went with my wife in the SXS to get them a few weeks later, luckily they were still there. I also forgot my nice axe in the same area maintaining a canoe portage. Another camping trip on the SXS . I was picturing your option of cowboy camping on night two, there'd be pools of blood in the morning alright, lol. The distance you rode was way too much for an untrained azz, that must have felt worse than your legs.
We all forget a thing or two over the years...but a tent? Man, a first for me. I'm wearing padded shorts under my pants so the butt was fine but man were the legs wobbly when I stopped for gas on the way home. Almost fell over as I got out of the car.
Sweet trip! Love that technicolor anodizing! Sweet stuff. Can’t wait for the big expedition! Good stuff!
That's my personal saw, it's a real beauty. Big trip at the end of the year. So much fun.
Where is your friend??
He was being mean and nasty so I didn't invite him on this trip.
Been waiting for a vid like this from you for a long time. Great work! Would love to see the plans for the rail rider!
Happy to hear you enjoyed the journey. I'm still tinkering with the device to make sure it's rock solid.

Brushcutter
What kind of car is that? Honda?
That wonderful ride is a 2008 Honda Element SC. 5 speed manual, 300,000 km and still going strong 😁
This is amazing and it has absolutely been added to my bucket list
Its not Art - give us a Demo
what causes the brush to look like its rip to shreds is a brush cutter you see this a lot on side roads and logging roads here in northern Ontario
oh cool, thanks.
It looks like sh$t. But its efficient.
Why would a brush cutter be used on an abandoned railway ?
In this near Sault st marie
Love it… truly “rocks and roll”… and yes my bet is tornado… seen damage like that before that “was” confirmed damage from a tornado
Excellent! In-tents… or alternatively “no tent-shen”
Lol. Still can't believe I did that.
Love it I need more to see lol
150km, 2 day Rail bike expedition gets released tomorrow morning.
have you tried a trailing front wheel guide ?
A few of my older versions has the front wheel guided both in front and behind. Those actually worked very well, but were just complicated. Having just a guide behind the front wheel won't work, the tire will just steer off.
That is NOT a low head dam, but I'm sure you clickbaiters knew that as well.
Wait for fckng what?! Oh I know, so I can go THUMBS DOWN! Pls all of you who is outraged, go thumbs down :-)
I bet you didn't wait for it.
I'm glad to have found this video... I'm looking forward to join with you both on the next journey... I'm curious how you're connected with the Rails ✌🏽😉
It just rides on top. Next video I'm explaining how it doesn't fall off.
