Kindle. Most bikepacking trips I am usually pooped and watching a video or two is how I relax. Don’t think I could read much.

Packing for bikepacking, is a difficult and intricate problem. It consist of trying, testing, tweeking and tuning your load. Some things may not be needed for one adventure but maybe the next one. Other things may always be needed. While there's other other things that you'll never need but they're always "you'll never know when could need it or not." It's an individual adventure in an adventure.

I'm so glad I do "bikepacking" on a cargo bike (Omnium). So much easier to have a duffle with backpack straps, and having the duffle compress or expand, depending on how you felt that morning, or even if you want to not compress the sleeping bag or tent much. I do try to keep the heaviest towards the rear of the duffle (at the handlebars), and the lightest for volume at the front. That's about it for my needs for packing. Colour coding drybags helps, but are not really necessary.

Just say no to tents with access at the ends. Side door for the win.

The Nemo Elite pillow changed my life. For backpacking at least. Great vid!!!

You da man!! Thanks for bringing us along. 🤜🤛

My essential is the Pocket Rocket and my luxury item is camp shoes.

Hi Dustin, HAMMOCK !! I have a Hennessy camping hammock expedition zip … a recent biking trip saw 4 out of the 5 guys use them …. Come over to the dark side you’ll love it

Excellent content - keep up the good work! I'm all in.

Thank you once again really look forward to your videos every week

Your REI dividend is going to be stellar!

Sooo cool to watch, nice edit! Congrats!

I'm a grounder here in Colorado . dont use a bike packing tent , just rei passage 2. i keep my poles tucked with my frame bag straps. rei Helix pad is worth the weight. befree water filter and Appalachian gear buff is my favorite.

I haven't bikepacked yet, but i hammock when i backpack. Seems to me to be the way to go. Lighter. Don't need sleeping pad (depending on temp) and hammock and tarp when it rains is the only way to go.

I did my first bikepacking trip with a hammock in the uk, it was great fun, I love my hammock and the trip went well, the only issue for me would be if it rained, and a tent does give a bit more shelter privacy🤷‍♂️👍

Lighter? Compared to a Walmart tent, maybe. Depends on a lot of factors. Material, are there tent poles? Maybe someone only uses a tarp and a bivy. I'm used to backpacking, but recently bought an ebike. I'm still not sure which activity I'm enjoying more!

​@MattHadder cuban fiber tarp and a hammock with super light suspension. No poles. No straps.

That's a really slick compact looking tent!

I have the same tent as John. The trick with the front pole is to angle/offset it after getting the tent tensioned. It's in the instructions but is the last step, so it's an often missed detail. A hiking pole is usually how it's set, but tarptent sells an adjustable carbon pole which fits on a bike very well.

I agree with the battery pack. I decided to forgo the dynamo hubs & instead got the Bigeblue 28 watt solar panel. Went on a 2 month rough camping bike trip & never needed a wall plug. I strapped the solar panel across my rear panniers during the day while riding or laid outside the tent on non-riding days and charged my phone & lights during the evening from my 10,000 mah battery pack. I like entering my tent from the side so I got the Big Agnes Copper Spur 1 man with the shorter poles instead. I got tired of many pinhole leaks in several big name brand air pads so I got the old army surplus rubber bitch we used in the 80s. That air mattress ain't gonna leak & it's not that much bigger but a tad heavier than the crappy commercial ones .

@@NicFilming It looks like Bigblue makes a 36 watt now. The 28 watt is what I have. It took about 15-20 hours of sunlight to fully charge a 10,000 mah battery pack that was fully depleted. It worked fine for charging my phone & lights daily. Some days I wouldn't use it & other days it was used all day. Don't have anything less than about 10,000 mah for the battery.

Think you want the Big Agnes Copper Spur bikepacking tent instead, has more room with a tiny bit more weight, I have one and my friends thought they were so money that they all have one now too.

Genuinely useful info yet entertaining as always. I bring the butt butter in the small packets instead of the home base BIG tube.

Give your frame the day off, suspend quick release wheels from a tree for a rotary dryer. You can also guy out your wheels with a tarp for a bivvy with good headroom.

It keeps your tent clean, and protected from puncture and abrasion. It's also great for taking breaks.

whoa channel name change 🙏

Until today, I'd have included my Shokz Open Run Pro bone phones as essential items, cos they're "waterproof". But I was out in torrential rain today and they died. It's sad when they go so young. 18 months and out of warranty. I'm going back to wired phones cos they're cheap to replace. Live long and keep pedalling!

is Shawn Ron's stand in???

Water filter is questionable for me - especially in Europe. For all my bikepacking adventures not even once I was in a situation when there was natural water supply and there was no shop or camping with drinkable tap water.

This looks more like Bikecamping that bikepacking to me! For regular hiking, not bikepacking since I haven't done any. My essential luxury item would have to be a Katadyn pump filter. I've seen other lightweight pumps fail on trips and everyone else swears by their Sawyers or other gravity/pushing fed nonsense that takes forever to pump. The Katadyn pump weighs more but the rate at which it pumps is really effective and can continue at a steady pace where other pumps would slow down filling containers that are greater than a liter. As for regular luxury item, hard to say. Can I say other people? It can be essential to a trip on those rare occasions but most of the time it is great to just have that additional conversational buddy or someone there that has that singular item that can elevate a trip such as a pair of binoculars or piece of kit you forgot.

If you're in Bear country don't actually put your food in your sleeping bag. This is a terrible and dangerous idea. If you did that in the Yosemite Backcountry or certain parts of the Northeast with large black bear populations your tent will get ripped to shreds. Hopefully it's just your tent.
