A very big THANK to you, sir, for your fine choice of bike back packing camping essentials! Wishing you safe cycling trips and stay blessed! All the best wishes from Sweden!
Just get some panniers job done 👍
In the mountains below tree line you definitely go way better with a light tarp+ hammock-setup. In steep terrain it is always hard to find a flat palce to put a tent, with a hammock you never have any problems and the choice of beautiful views directly out your bed + the best relaxed sleep ever. BRS Stove and Sawyer filter is in my opinion the better and cheaper choice.
Sir, can you recommend the styles of bikes that are good for trekking?
No trees for a hammock, but trees for a tarp?,
and a second mortgage for all the kit!!!
$600 + for your kit, and how much for your insurance?
How much was your bike?
im sexually attracted to the bike
A good thing to cary are zipties to fix stuff and to strap things onto your bike/bags and another trick (not my idea just copied it so I want to give credit to Fritz Meinecke) is to wrap some tape around your lighter. I think thats great cuz it barly adds any weight or volume and you got some tape to fix stuff on the go wich is a good thing in my opinion
When I camp in bear country I pack a portable electric bear fence. 2.4 lbs for peace of mind.
Everyone has an opinion but there’s reviews and stories of adventures right here: http://www.thebikepackingdad.com

thinking about getting a mountain bike. do you prefer chain or belt driven?
Do you have info on the bike? Looks like a great piece of kit.
Good video 👍🏻 I’ve done some really in depth reviews of the Ortlieb waterproof bikepacking bags so if that’s if any use to anyone you’ll find them on my channel 😊
How do you secure your bike at a campsite? What lock do you use?
Hi sorry, can i know what's the bag at the back that you unfolded?
What's the size of your tires? is that a gravel bike?
whats the rear bag called? thanks
This is the kind of gear you get if you are already hooked. If you know you are going to be out there and bashing it, weekend after weekend and every holiday; if weight is essential, because you want to do the miles, AND you have the money, I wouldn't argue.
However, if you are young and poor – get yourself a second-hand, gortex army bivi, and cobble together the rest. Happy days! Do not wait until you can afford this gear.
What is the name of the rear luggage rack on the bike that attaches to the lower frame and seat post?
I don't half half of that . Still survive nicely
I always carry a good knife with me and 2 or 3 way to make fire
Excellent Bike for the road I cycle 10 miles about …
