Scottish Bikepacking Setup

[@MrPreacherSteve]

Thank you for explaining about poo arrangements. It's the great unspoken mystery of bike-packing which never seems to be mentioned in these instructional videos.

[@jennifercrosland9352]

Very happy to hear Nay Nay talk about working out how much you need. Lithium is amazing but doesn't change that you have to see how much power you use in a day. Once you know that multiply by the days of autonomy you want. That's the battery size. Now knowing the battery size you can size a solar setup to replenish on a good day!... pretty straight forward!,we were off grid for 8 days last summer!! 👍

[@MattGlynn]

"I tend to be a quite lumpy person" brilliant!!!

[@noemuit2535]

I love bike-packing, you have a complete bike tour gatget unlike mine less fortunate to have one....take care and enjoy your ride.

[@ecoboy79]

Fab video. Would be great to see a camp set up vid with the gear in use.

[@annieleoutside6044]

Thanks Ben, ok, im on it!

[@thereluctantfanatic]

Good video. Something I will watch again and again. Keep up the good work.

[@brettbarnes373]

Great class. I really like your attitude.

[@MarkSweeting_]

I'm an experienced wild camper and also experienced mountain biker. I've a 2011 Lappierre Zesty. I'm going to try bikepacking in Northumberland somewhere a bit remote and your vid has helped 👍 thankyou

[@robertjackson2069]

thank you, Annie, for the informative video.

[@michaeljones1741]

Thank you for the tour of your set up!

[@bikepackingadventure7913]

Just found your channel, enjoyed, from a fellow bike packer. 🙂🙂

[@diegoalvarado1771]

The best setup I've seen to date.

[@Velobetty]

The Kula cloth is amazing, thank you for the tip!

[@annieleoutside6044]

it is :)

[@ramblinonandon]

Very interesting, informative and a very down to Earth approach.

[@annieleoutside6044]

Thank you.

[@weeringjohnny]

Simple, practical adviceto explore a beautiful country. Great vid.

Wow! Great Setup and really good video. Thank you for sharing. Subscribed and looking forward for more bikepacking videos 👍

[@kateslattery98]

I love my Kula cloth, it's great!

[@Osscar12356]

Amazing video, super helpfull, and I am looking forward to future videos!

[@CanadianSledDog]

You eat real food, that's impressive! Most bikepackers on KZbin seem to eat only processed food for some reason.

[@nickwithers4964]

great video. thanks for sharing. love your setup and delivery

[@annieleoutside6044]

Thanks, i appreciate the feedback :)

[@y1sco]

Thanks for taking the time out to highlight your equipment, your photos were awesome looked really cold😱

[@michaellee91]

Love the Tunnocks. Should be a compulsory part of everyone's kit!

[@hughreed768]

Best video I've found on bike packing set up, thank you. Also thanks for validating that 3 season sleeping back is not overkill :p

[@PerfDayToday]

Compact setup.. tell us more about your primaloft booties if you can. Thxs.

[@hukcoi]

Just getting into this BikePacking and must say what a fab video, great insight, thanks Ian

[@annieleoutside6044]

Thanks Ian.

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Great little insight into how you set yourself up in Scotland. Thank you. :-)

[@annieleoutside6044]

thanks guys, its always interesting to see what others carry :)

[@hoser7706]

Great video! Love the content and snippits of your previous pics. So cool you are bikepacking all over.

[@hoser7706]

I wanted to add to that all of your trips look amazing. Looking forward to viewing more vids. Very inspiring. And you are so good presenting on camera. Thank you.

[@MrGreekstatue]

I love that setup. 👌

[@seanbarryuk]

Awesome vid, going to be investing in some revelate bags soon!

[@annieleoutside6044]

awesome! You will love them :)

[@hubdeep9452]

Great set up. Thanks for sharing. I'd love to do some bike packing up in Scotland in the future.

[@northernembersoutdoors1045]

I'm in Scotland, just going to start the bike packing, I'm quite heavy as is my bike, and I always take too much gear! Like to see your setup, it's a great help for when i want to evolve it, thanks, also it's great that you mention the gear and make cause it's hard to find some info, cheers.

[@mrfairycake4333]

Great set up :) ca you put a link to the dry bag set up as I could not catch the name as you said them to quick...Thanks

[@martincanwell2542]

Great video thank you. Just watched with my 9 year old daughter and she wants to be off bike packing now!

[@annieleoutside6044]

Awesome! What a cool daughter you must have :D

[@elmonggalavlogs148]

Happy bike camping

[@HikingFeral]

I prefer a Trangia spirit stove over gas any day of the week. Does it take longer? sure but what's the rush? get camp set up while it's going. Still nice and fast to boil water for a drink and takes up 1/4 of the space as the monster jetboil. Mine fit's inside my Titanium cup which fit's inside my Titanium pot.

[@donaldthomson9411]

Post some more videos of actual trips please. This was excellent.

[@ellerybice3787]

Look at the cargo racks on the Trek 1120, you may benefit from a similar system.

[@TravelingThru222]

Great video, Sweet bike.

[@orangesquash69]

Great video! What about tent ?

[@timporter8886]

Hiya Annie, great post; thanks 4going thru all of ur gear! I'm just getting into bikepacking, and am planning a Scottish adventure of my own. Any advice 4travelling in that beautiful country? What's the best time of year, especially 2avoid midgy hell..haha!?

Hoorah for you! Keep it up! : D

[@Pasdechevredreamer]

Good effort. Some of your photos show full winter conditions, how safe is taking bikes into the winter mountains and any advice? Thanks

[@nuclearslayer5336]

what the size of this dry bags? (Liters) thanks for your setup, you are very brave adventurer)🖖

[@c_steve_j]

Wow! Now that is winter biking! Love it! No snow here right now, but holding out hope we get some. Question. The shots you show when riding in snow, what are the boots you're wearing? I have a lot of trouble with keeping my feet warm. Are there brands you could recommend looking at? Thanks! Love the bike. I've been looking at the Mukluk. Stay safe ...

[@annieleoutside6044]

Hi steve, sorry for the slow reply. If you are somewhere below freezing all winter look into bafin boots. The ones i was waering are columbia but they are no where as warm as thier ratings. It seems you need boots rated to far colder than the actual temperature to stay warm.

[@HighlanderRick]

Avon skin so soft repels midges. I've heard that the Royal Marines use it.

[@silentrabbit247]

It sort of does, but in Scotland you need a headnet, best worn over a cap to keep off face, thankfully midges are not out if there's a breeze, direct sunlight or rain.

[@dmuig6193]

Wow, this was like watching a magician endlessly producing items from their top hat! Really enjoyed the video, thanks for the info. Can I just ask about your accent - I can't quite place it?

[@annieleoutside6044]

haha thanks! I grew up in South Africa and have worked in a number of countries since :)

[@adamyates2372]

Great video . Can you tell me the make of the bracket thing that holds your front dry bag please.

[@annieleoutside6044]

Hi Adam, its a Revelate designs harness.

[@adamyates2372]

@@annieleoutside6044 thanks

[@drugpedalnyi]

where did you buy that wonderful steering wheel bag?)

[@marksadventures3889]

Why a hardtail? I could see it for strength given the terraine you cover but is there another reason? I like all the comfort i can get for long hours in the saddle and not really into spending money - Brookes is a bit off my range, but I got a nice comfy seat with cushions for my old bones. Good to see lasses getting out and doing their thing.

[@annieleoutside6044]

Hi Mark, I ride whatever i have, rigid, hardtail or full suss. For this vid my fat bike was my only complete bike ;) Hardtails have an advantage over a full suss as they have a big frame bag space and can carry a much bigger seat bag (unless you have really long legs and then full suss can carry one too) which allows me to ride without a rucksac. A rigid has the advantage of not having to set up suspension for the weight of the bags but as you have said is less comfy.

[@fujifatbike5793]

Hi Annie! Love your fatbike setup. Looking forward on watching your future bikepacking videos. Are you using a 26 x 4.8 tire size? Thanks for sharing. Greetings from Amizmiz, on the foothills of the Atlas Mountains.

[@annieleoutside6044]

Hi, yes! you got it :)

[@DavidWhite-uz7ob]

Hi, I would be interested to know which poles you use with you HMG Dirigo 2 tent. Thanks, and great videos.

[@annieleoutside6044]

Hi David, we are using the poles from these guys www.rutalocura.com/products.html

[@ilenen6555]

Any chance you can make a list of those items? Hopefully they will sell some of it in the USA? Thanks

[@annieleoutside6044]

What things in particular would you like to know? the tent is a hyperlight mountain gear, the bags are revelate designs. Both of them are US companies!

[@kimgaugemusic]

Holy shit, you carried your bike through the Alps?! Respect! Sub'd.

[@vegetablyturkish]

Where is your tent? Did i miss it?

[@Giropelomundo]

Hey, I'm new to your channel and I'll start bike traveling as soon as the quarantine is over. Do you have any advice for me as a woman doing it alone too? How do you chose the place to free camping when you're in places like Germany where it's forbidden?

[@annieleoutside6044]

Hi there! I hope you can make your trip soon. Im not sure theres any specific advice as a women, just make sure you feel comfortable where you stop at night and if you are nervous there, move on. I always like to be hidden so i dont worry about anyone finding me.

[@Giropelomundo]

@@annieleoutside6044 Thanks a lot! And if you bike travel on the Italian Alps, I'd adore to meet you and so would my dog (she'll be travelling with me)

[@ToadboyFN]

some cute fat tires!

[@stevia13]

Hi Annie. How do you plan the off road sections in your far off trips - Alps, Nepal etc (mapping etc). Thx, Stevie 🚲

[@annieleoutside6044]

Hi Stevie, the short answer is lots of hours on google. The long answer is google to find places i want to visit, then buy a big overview map and plot those places on it, then more googling and imaging to find the best ways to connect them. Open source mapping can be very helpful at finding what paths actually exist. And i do lots of image searching to find pictures of trail to get an idea of what condition they are. Hope that helps!

[@stevia13]

@@annieleoutside6044 Thanks Annie. Yep, pretty much what I do 😆, though I'm always looking for someone elses tips and ideas. 👍

[@Bikepacking]

Great gear setup up just sub

[@annieleoutside6044]

Awesome thank you!

[@Bikepacking]

Annie Le Outside good to see more and more people switching to fatbikes .. ive been bikepacking with fatbike for over 7 years love it

[@HughDWallace]

Great stuff! What is that bike you are riding? Would you recommend it! I'm just starting to look at fat bikes.

[@annieleoutside6044]

Thanks Hugh. This is a salsa mukluk which is an amazing bike. Things to look out for are light wheels, that makes a big difference. and work out where you will ride it, if mostly compact snaow or sand/trail you might want 4 inch tyres, if mostly loose snow you might want 5 inch for more float.

[@HughDWallace]

@@annieleoutside6044 Thank you Annie.

[@soloist777]

Sorry if i missed it but what bike is that? TIA.

[@jatsajatsa]

Great video! Re: bike size, how tall are you / or what frame size is your bike?

[@annieleoutside6044]

Thanks! Im 5'6 and riding a small frame :)

[@jonathanvh9958]

Sucks that you get headaches that often, try eating & drinking more (sugar, electrolytes). See if that helps you.

[@acthompson9983]

Just seen this. What about footwear?

[@bonkersblock]

Your wheels are tubeless?? Since you’re rolling it on snow and all?? Just curious 🧐

[@annieleoutside6044]

No, i have not tubelessed these, considered it but not bothered.

[@goldbrick2751]

Hi, do I need a fat bike to do the bikepacking? Any thoughts on this?

[@annieleoutside6044]

no, not at all. just whatever bike you have and choose routes to suit.

And it is not a hardtail, but good video

[@gregs7562]

It's a fully rigid fat bike. Looks like a hard tail from here.

[@blochjerry]

Good stuff but please speak more clearly when describing the names of the products you are using.

[@MartinLichtblau]

Don't buy heavy gear. Or you*ll regret it.

[@thebullseye2000]

Poo

[@thepleasureroom9646]

Are tyres that big necessary?

[@annieleoutside6044]

That all depends on what you want to do. In general no. But if your route is sand or snow, then maybe yes.
