Me and a mate (maybe more) are doing a bivi ride next weeked and i think we have every thing planed, but i want to make sure we have everything that we might need. It is only a 2 day and 1 night adventure.

We are going to use a 30L AlpKit bag to carry all the stuff, so here is my equpt. list is there anything missing:

Bike (not in the rucksack),
Helmet (cycling cloths for day 1)
Spare innertubes,
Spare bits of chain,
Bike tools,
Bike lock,
Map,
Food (Tea, Supper, and Breakfast),
Stove + Gas,
Pan,
A Spoon,
Bivi Bag,
Sleeping bag,
Sleeping mat,
Fresh cycling (for the day after),
Evening Cloths (light weight stuff),
Phone(s),
Money,
Hydration pack blader.

Where you gonna Bivi? Moss Side?

Average bike thief chat:
Chav scum 1: [i]"Shall we go nick some bike 'night mate? for Crack fix money"[/i]
Chav scum 2: [i]"yah, bustin' lets go round local gardens in Meanwood and look in sheds and sh!t"[/i]
Chav scum 1: [i]"Nah, lets go get our gators and boots, get t'train to Skipton, Change onto Settle line then walk to top to top of Malham Tarn and rob one off the bivvy'ing types"[/i]
Chav scum 2: [i]"wicked! good plan CS1"[/i]

Oh and nearly forgot but you need a Hip Flask! (it's the law)

Shotgun - you'll need some personal protection.

Condoms. Again, you'll need some personal protection.

That'll never fit into a 30l, more like 50l depending on size of your sleeping bag.
