Bikepacking Guide - 13 Essentials You Might Have Missed 

Cable ties are number 1. So useful,]. Held rack in place when mounting bolt snapped. But missed out on toilet paper.

Glad I watched this! First trip next month for me

I hope those aren't real phone numbers hahaha a lot of people are going to see this! Very valuable information! Thanks!

Wheel spokes being quite long and easily broken can be carried in your bike tubes? In your seat tube for instance. Tape them together and tape them so that they are easily retrievable. I have a few in my seat tube and take them out when I remember to. One thing I like to take with me, that isn’t essential, is a pair of Binoculars. I always use them too, I like to spot birds and wildlife, and they’re good for route selection too. A small compact pair will be super useful and inexpensive. Good to have. I am enjoying your vids, I think I go ‘lighter’ than you do, but that’s down to choice. Gear will evolve into being the best ‘kit list’ for you, the more you get out bike packing. Enjoy your biking adventures.

Phone numbers aside from your phone, so obvious now and so important but I had not thought of it. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing this...

i like how he packs 6 extra spokes but doesn't always bring a toothbrush for an overnight.

Thanks a lot, good video! Greetings from Italy :)

great to see you adding a first aid kit & a good food knife, these are essential to any ride ;) I would never take a down jacket though as when you sweat or it gets wet it provides very little insulation compared to synthetic insulation, I use a softie vest without arms whilst touring which works much better here in the UK. good video.

Outrageous dental hygiene admission in this 😂

Very good video for little tips. What model of leatherman multitool is it you take? Thanks

What shoes do you pack? Obviously you have your cycle shoes for cycling but what do you use in camp or in the hostel/hotel?

Cable ties are essential. I've also taken a leatherman but in practice it isn't that useful. Opinel and multi-tool are more than enough.

I think its worth spending more time on the first aid kit, what should be in there, and the obvious, how to use it. Usual minor injury stuff: clean the wound, close the wound, cover, if necessary. Then a scale up to incapacitation: A whistle, the mobile may be dead, steristrips, triangle bandage, 2" bandage, know how to make up a splint,, painkillers, tooth repair: remember it may be you who needs the help! If cycling with a buddy make sure they know how to apply first aid. And an obvious one, immodium............ I'm an ex soldier so its second nature to be prepared for this and always assume if something can go wrong it will. The kit does not need to be Mountain Leader class, but plan and practice is essential. Watch this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Rxe-W0TxYzc.html

Why these Restrap products are more expensive than Ortlieb??? (Considering that Ortlieb ones are made in Germany with high quality engineering...)

Gave up the lube. Wax the chain & it is very quiet.

Missing, no reward 😂😂😂

You forgot the baby wipes!
