Here is mine
Stove went in a camelback as it rubed a hole in the bag on the rack. ended up using an alpkit backpack instead.
Sleepingbag, mat and bivvy o the bars, Clothes and pans in the rear, and wash kit, andfood and waterproofs in the back pack or strapped to the top of the rear bag.
Still need to make a harness for the front bag to stop holes gettting rubed in the dry bag and to attach the map to.Posted 2 years ago # -

Nerd question, What sleeping bags do you lot use they seem really small?
Posted 2 years ago # -
Well for I have a ME Dreamcatcher 750, bit big but a true winter to summer bag (Sleepzone 10 to -12°C, maybe a bit warm in the height of summer)
The bag and a Hunka XL go in a 13litre Alpkit Airlok extra drybag and get strapped to the bars.
As can be seen here

Some inspirational stuff here.
I've been thinking about bikepacking for a while and next summer might be time to do it.
Is there a beginners guide somewhere, or is it a case of searching for old threads on here and asking questions ?I'll do a few short practice nights out first and short trips, but the long term plan is to ride from home, up the Severn, back down the Wye, then back up the Severn to home.
Probably the worlds most epic cheeky ride. One full week, including both weekends, at 40 miles per day should cover it.Posted 2 years ago # -
Its not rocket science. You have to decide what point on the comfort / light spectrum you want to be. Discard half of what you think you need, pack up and go.
I'd try your kit with a single night out first.

From the welsh ride thing this year:
welsh ride thing by placid casual, on FlickrEverything for 2 days riding, including tent, mat, sleeping bag, food, dry clothes (mmmm) in a 20l and a 13l alpkit dry bag.
Posted 2 years ago # -
Yeah, definitely plenty of local single nights out before I head off on a nine day trip.
It's the basics I could do with some suggestions on.
What tent, what sleeping bag, how do I attach it to the bike, that sort of thing.
I've still got most of my old camping kit from years ago, although I suspect my whisperlite stove is the only thing still usable and not obsolete by now.Posted 2 years ago #
