This series documents my attempt to ride a unicycle 674km across the entire width of Latvia. Iām alone and unsupported, wild camping along the way. If this wasn’t challenging enough I’m also sticking exclusively to an off-road hiking route, named the Baltic Forest Trail! (This trail also goes through Estonia and Lithuania.

Weirdly when riding singletrack I hold my handle with my left and balance/wave with my right.
Ed, do you feel obligated to buy a coffee/tea/meal from the cafes or restaurants that give you water? seems like a fair exchange to me and it looks like they could use the business.
7:29 that could have been dinner mate!
Your foreshadowing at the end about "crashing in the silliest of ways" – you're on a unicycle, everything we do is silly :). I unicycle some in the Alberta rockies and watching you is giving me the bug to go riding again but there's too much snow at the moment. If you ever get the chance to ride down a hill in deep powder, do it!
that mushroom was a penny bun they're delicious
Just out of curiosity, having seen you stop for water in this and other videos, is there a reason you dont use a packable filter like a Sawyer Squeeze or Katadyn BeFree? Seems like it would help you not need to worry about your water supply as much!
OMG LOL ED I LOVE HOW YOU LITERALLY ONLY KNOW LIKE 3 PHRASES BUT SOMEHOW YOU GET BY. xD
Curious, why don't you travel with a water filtration system like the LifeStraw Gravity Bag? They are not that heavy nor take a lot of room but they work amazingly well and keep you healthy.
You are a great ambassador for Latvia!
He just had to jinx himself saying he hadn't crashed…. SMH

I wonder how does he keep his electronics charged
This is what life should be like, the simple joy of having that fallen tree to sit on was beautiful. Loving the story telling, good luck with your journey.
Damm I'm legit thinking to do a cycle trip on this route
The first mushroom was either a King Bolete or a bay bolete, both prized edibles. Second one amanita
Have you gone vegan, Ed?
If so: big ups!
If not: still love your videos! š
still no one trailing along – I am curious when you will meet some hikers
When your arm is swinging pov style, I find myself joining in š
Latvia is breathtakingly beautiful!
Good morning from New Zealand. Ed, what's the total rolling weight of the new rig? wonderful seeing you back on the wheel š Cheers ScottyB
Wonderful episode. Truly stunning country.
fascinating once again
Amazing Video as always!
I believe Ed camped at Lake Dibena at the end of Day 3. I got a Google Earth terrain view to match the drone view exactly. It is so much fun sleuthing out his route!
