My ULTRA LIGHTWEIGHT Bikepacking Setup

After going thru all the video regarding saddle bag, i found answer for what i need and a new youtuber to follow. Thanks man

This is absolute genius this vlog. I’m doing something similar in a couple of months 3days, 450km, 3000m vert) and these tips will be invaluable.

Absolutely love this. Thanks for the details and all the tips 🙏

Bike-hoteling?

Great setup. Keeps motivating me to try something like this. Maybe an over nighter to start with

All gold! Super Informative.

Thats really cool! Thanks for the video 🤙

I loved the video, i just got back from my first time cycling abroad in Girona. Being from Britain the abnormal heat for the time of year and different sort of climbs were a bit of a shock. I mlwas mainly riding locally but one day i rode up to the French border at La Vajol, it was a great ride but the midday heat just battered me hy the end. Great place to live

Great video man. Learned a lot and when I summer bike pack this will be my reference

Thanks Tristan, quality info and overview as always. Would have said g'day when I saw you in Girona but you were on a lengthy phone call while walking the City wall. Hopefully back soon for cycling on fantastic roads and respectful drivers, cheers, Don

thanks Tristan

Absolutely obsessed with your content man!! On this and on Instagram, when is the badlands video coming though? I cannot wait to see that!

Another quality video, thanks. I love the Attaquer gear but need to wait until those cargo bibs are on sale! Keep up the content, thanks.

This vid along with the ride vid are great! Looking forward to a badlands vid! 🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️💪🏁

thanks for the breakdown. live in the Northeastern US and would like to do a similar ride in the late fall/winter so may need a bit more bags/gear but this sets some context.

Most people take WAY too much stuff. You really don't need a lot. Some of us, of course, need space for meds/glasses/contacts but overall, super light is a lot more fun in my experience. Wash and dry clothes using the towel method and it dries very fast. If it is cold, you just have to get moving!

Reminds me of an article I read in a magazine in the mid 90's. Bicycling, I think. The guy rode 800+ miles over 6 days to visit relatives, staying at hotels every night. He rode a Kestrel CF bike with touring gears, flat bar with aero bars. The bike I think weighed 21 lbs and his gear was about 10 lbs. He carried a set of clothes to wear around at the end of the day with sandals and washed out his bike clothes in the hotel sink every night, hung it to dry overnight, and was dry by morning. He didn't have to worry about a cell phone back then. I think he didn't carry the food like you did and his camera to document the journey was analog. Great review as your trip brought out this memory of thos article. I think if he ran the trip again, his setup would be similar to yours as the focus was about traveling light on a bike.

Just on my train home from my first bikepacking trip. Wish i saw this first! My weight was more like 35kg 😢😢

Bike touring not bikepacking. We can all pack light if we have a room and a restaurant waiting at the end of the day. Looks like fun. I'll have to book some cheap motel rooms next summer 👍

Awesome mate …you did a video before about how to try your kit out (ie if it’s not summer)…you did something with a towel but I can’t recall which video it was.
