 Yo, what's up everybody? My name is Ryan and I'm here to say I love Fruity Pebbles in a major way, go buffs. What's up amigos? It's your friend Ryan Van Duzer and today we're going to talk about gear because all of us from time to time need new gear and I'm going to talk about some of my favorite gear brands. A lot of them are small businesses and I love helping out and supporting small business and I'm going to give you some discount codes so you can go out and buy this gear and have the same stuff as me and we can be twinsies. How's that sound? And just a heads up, this is not a sponsored video. I'm not getting paid by any of these brands to make this video and highlight their products. I just really love supporting small businesses. They do give me free products but not money. They just want to hook you up. So let's do it Team Duzer. Go buy some stuff, stuff, stuff. We are going to start the party off with Green Guru. You've heard me talk a lot about Green Guru in my videos. They're based here in Boulder. They make everything here in Boulder. They are my good friends and they make upcycled bike accessories. What does upcycled mean? It means they take old things, in this case an old banner and they make panniers and they reuse a lot of different fabrics and they keep stuff out of the landfill and create awesome products. So they are very eco-friendly. This one that I'm holding right here is called the Dutchie Pannier. This is on my bike at all times. It's super easy to put on a rear rack. It's made out of old banners. This is a new Belgian one obviously. This is how I go grocery shopping. I fill this baby up. I have two of them actually and I absolutely love it. This is another one of my favorite products. It's called the Cruiser Cooler and it's really easy to attach to your handlebars with this Velcro and you open it up right here, boom, and you can fill it up with all sorts of goodies. This is made out of recycled bike tubes. How cool is that? And take a look at this sexy triangle or trapezoid. I was never very good at geometry. Anyway, this is a frame bag and this is one of their very new products and it's made out of Eco-Pak and Eco-Pak is waterproof and it's made out of recycled water bottles. You hear me complaining about single-use water bottles all the time and how bad they are for the environment. Well, sometimes they do get made into very cool products and this is one of those cool products. This is a frame bag. You've seen me use mine. Mine is bright orange. You've seen me use it on some recent bike trips. I absolutely love it. This is made specifically to fit the small or medium or large priority 600X. So if you have one of those bikes, this is your frame bag right here. It will also probably fit other bikes that have similar geometry. It's really easy to put on with Velcro. Take it on and off, no problem. This is my favorito and this is what the orange one looks like. This is not a full frame bag. This is a smaller one. So this will definitely fit on any bike. Again, Eco-Pak, 100% waterproof, really, really cool. There's a whole bunch of other stuff on the Green Guru website. You can go check it out yourself and find something that you like. If you use the code DUSER, you get 25% off and this code will last through the month of December 2022. So if you watch this video in 2023, sorry. Look at this little thingy right here. This is definitely a thingy and this is a new brand to me called Model M-O-D-L. They're based out of Denver, Colorado and they sent me some of these a few months ago and I was like, what are these thingies? What am I going to use this for? I already have a bunch of straps, but I have quickly fallen in love with them. And what I use them for a lot of times is strapping down my water bottle so they don't shake and bounce off my bike. But you can use them kind of like you'd use any strap. You can also connect them together to make longer straps. But I've really found these to be incredibly useful on my bikepacking trips. They're super easy to use. They're really, really strong or you could just use it as a bracelet. Who knows? Whatever. You can use it for so many different things. Anyway, use the code DUSER15 for you guessed it, 15% off during the month of December. Boom. Look at these awesome made in the USA bags. Get out there. These are made by my friends, Kai Venture bags. And they are a young couple and they make all of these bags in their trailer out in California. Southern California. They are super awesome. He's also a vet, so you're supporting a vet business if you buy these. I always have these on my handlebars. They're really good for holding water bottles or something you can jam in. Probably 10 different energy bars. They will let you pick all sorts of different fun colors. You can see these are very fun. They chose all these colors for me. You can go on their website and go crazy. They make a lot of other types of bags as well. Again, everything is made in the USA and they're my friends. It's really cool that I get to use gear that's made by friends. And if you use the code DUSER, you get 15% off and this code lasts forever and ever and ever. So go check them out. Kai Venture bags. Hello there. I'm a slap bag. This is called a slap bag and it's a very simple solution to a handlebar bag. You've seen me use this for years. You can Velcro it easily on your stem or your handlebar and it just slaps. It's a little dusty because I took it to Burning Man. It slaps open and closed really easily. These are made in Washington State, made in the USA by my good friends. It's a bolder company called Slap Bag. And if you use the code, what is the code? Oh, it's a really difficult code. That's where I couldn't remember. The code is DUSER, just like almost everything else. If you forget what the codes are, just think of my name and you probably have the code. The code is DUSER. You get 20% off and free shipping in the United States. So go check them out. Feed me, Seymour. These are my favorite shorts in the whole world. They really are. You've seen me wear these shorts in every single adventure. This is an awesome brand, 11 Pine. My friend Jeff created this. He's another bolder guy and I love these shorts. And the very, very cool thing about these shorts, and you've probably seen me do this, but you have a zipper along the side and you can zip them tighter to your legs. So when you're on the bike and you want a tighter fit, if you're going behind your saddle a bunch and you want kind of that spandex feel, you can zip them down and make them tight. And then when you want a looser fit, let's say you're walking into a cafe and you don't want to expose everything, you loosen it up and you just roll like a regular pair of shorts. They also make really comfortable liners. I wear these liners on every one of my adventures. It has a nice padded little butt area for your butt area. I love, what's it called? I love, I can't remember, the Liberator. These are called the Liberator shorts and liners. So if you want to be just like me, get the Liberator shorts. They do make lots of other shorts as well, different colors, different styles, but they all do have the zipper on the side to make the shorts tighter and looser. And the code DUSER will get you 25% off until I think January 1st. So go check them out, 11pine.com. Hey look, Amelia just showed up. Hello, just came in from a run. Nice, tell me about the 11pine shorts for women. Oh, they're my favorite. If you watch White Rim videos or Rag Brite, that's what I was wearing the entire trip and super comfortable, got a nice elastic waistband so nothing's digging into you. That's super important to me and they're my favorite. I love them. Is this all your dog also your favorite? She's also my favorite. This is Emmy. Hi, Emmy. Is this your YouTube debut? I think it is. So cute. What is this crazy contraption? What could it be? This is my new rear rack that I've been using on my bike and my adventures for the last few months. I love it. It's called Aero Rack and they are out of New Zealand, which is nowhere close to Colorado, but they are very cool people. I've gotten to know them over the past few months. And this rack is absolutely bomb proof. I love it. It's really easy to put on any bike, even a full suspension bike. It's easy to put on with these little straps that they have right here. You can also put on these little modular racks right here so you can have bags on the side, which is very cool. It does not come with this Nemo tent. I'm just using this as an example of what it can hold up top. I do love this tent, by the way. I wish I had a code for you, but I don't. But it's definitely my new favorite tent. But yeah, go check out these guys. These racks are absolutely bomb proof. I love them. They're a small growing business out of New Zealand and the code with them is also dozer for let's see how much you're going to get off and with them 15% off and that last through the month of December. So go check out Aero Racks and my new friends in New Zealand, which makes me think I might need to go to New Zealand and do an adventure. You're getting very sleepy. So I know it seems a little silly to get excited about socks. But I love these socks. These socks are made by a Colorado company based out of Steamboat called 0.6. And you know me. I love Merino wool and all of their products are made out of Merino wool and these socks are top notch. I absolutely love them. They also make, you know, lots of apparel. This is my new favorite hoodie. The material is just so cozy. I love it. And it keeps you warm. They also make awesome t-shirts. This is one of my faves. I absolutely love the color. They make stuff for men and women go to their website and check out all their products. They have a host of great things that you're going to want. And if you use the code DOZER you get 40% off and that code lasts forever and ever and ever. DOZER 40% off. Get yourself some awesome Merino wool from a Colorado company. What do you think? This is a little too bright. Well I love it because it keeps me safe at nighttime when I'm riding around the streets of Boulder. This is made by another one of my favorite small companies called Shower's Pass. They specialize in waterproof gear. This jacket is called The Refuge. I wear it all the time in the winter. If you don't like the super brightness of this they have other colors as well. I know not everybody loves super bright. They make really nice waterproof gloves, waterproof socks. They have base layers and you've seen me wear, this is like my Charlie Brown shirt. This is the shirt that I wear in every single adventure. This is Merino wool. I absolutely love this shirt. It's called the Apex Merino and if you see me out in the wild wearing another color it's pretty rare. It's usually always this blue shirt. This is where you can buy this and we can be twinsies. And if you use the code DOZER15 you get 15% off for the rest of November. They're a great brand, not a band, but they could be. They're a great brand out of Portland, Oregon. I'm looking on my floor here to see if I have other things to highlight and I don't think I do. But priority wants to get in on the game as well. You know I love priority. They are near and dear friends of mine and I ride their bikes everywhere. They have special deals right now on the 600 which is my go-to round town bike that I ride every single day and the 600X, the bike that I designed, that I rode down the Great Divide and that I take on all my off-road adventures. They have great deals on those two bikes right now throughout the end of the year. And if you need any accessories they have a whole host of really cool things that you might need for your bike and if you order and use the code DOZER you will get free shipping in the United States. Order now and you get a free leg lamp with every purchase. I'm just kidding you won't. My mom got this for me many Christmases ago because I love the movie A Christmas Story. You know the Red Rider BB Gun one and this is my nightlight during the month of December. I thought you might like to know that about me. And this is not gear. I know and it's not really going to help you on any of your bike adventures. But this is my book and I poured all of my heart and soul into writing this thing. It's about my first adventure from Honduras to Boulder. I'm really proud of it. It's for sale now you can get it at dozerbook.com. Priority are taking the orders for me and the fulfillment and shipping this thing. It's such a huge hookup otherwise I would have had to turn my tiny apartment into a storage facility of books. If you like adventure stories I think you're going to like this one. This is kind of like my origin story. This is how it all started. So go buy yourself the dozer book. Alright that's about it. I hope you support these small brands. It's important at this day and age where everybody buys things off of Amazon that we support the small brands because Amazon is killing small business all over the world. And more than that I hope you get some good gear that helps you on your future bike trips. Thanks so much for watching this video and stay tuned for more. As always I'm always getting up to some sort of a fun adventure and now I'm going to see if I can go outside and ride my bike before it gets completely dark. It gets so dark so early in the winter. I'm not a fan. Anyway. Thank you.
