About Pack Pedal Plate

Welcome to Pack Pedal Plate, a blog inspired by over a decade of outdoor adventures and a desire to share the knowledge we’ve gained along the way. Whether you’re conquering technical singletrack, enjoying a peaceful night under the stars, or crafting a rewarding meal, we’re here to help you make the most of every adventure.

What You’ll Find Here

At Pack Pedal Plate, we focus on three essential pillars of the outdoor experience (in our humble opinions):

  • Gear Reviews: Honest, detailed reviews of hiking, biking, camping, and travel equipment. We aim to provide in-depth review and guides.
  • Trail Food Recipes: Creative, packable meals that go beyond instant noodles and expensive freeze-dried kits. We believe in taking the extra time to prepare food that’s worth savoring.
  • Travel Tips & Itineraries: Practical advice and inspiration to help you plan everything from local day trips to long-haul hiking and mountain biking adventures.

Why the Name?

The name Pack Pedal Plate reflects the outdoor life we live: the gear that carries us, the trails that challenge us, and the food that fuels us. It’s about the preparation, the journey, and the food that makes it all worthwhile.

Our Story

This blog is rooted in our love of being outside. From car camping, to trekking deep into the backcountry, or pedaling through rugged trails in breathtaking mountains, we love it all and want to share our experiences with you. We’re a Canadian couple who has extensively traveled in Canada and the USA.

We created Pack Pedal Plate to share the kind of information we wish we’d found more easily. This includes thoughtful reviews of high-end gear we love and use, trail-tested recipes, or advice for mountain biking trips that take you through amazing scenery and epic sends.
