Kait I love your videos! Thank you for going through so much detail every time. Would you be willing to make a video about what you put in your first aid kit? it looks really small and i'd like to make a similar compact one!

[@kaitboyle]

Thank you!! Yes, that's a great idea! I was just working on a list of topics so this is super helpful. Let me know if there are any other videos you want to see made!

No shelter is brave! Nice setup!!

My riding partner carried a tarp!

Hey, cool video. I've 2 questions: 1) were you cowboy camping (not tarp or bivy)? 2) even if merino, were riding with the same socks & underware for 4 days or you're carrying a spare set of those, too? Best, Fede

@@federicotheironlyportrait we carried a tarp but never set it up - we camped on ridges to avoid getting dew or frost. and i wore the same socks for 3 days of riding, and put my sacred socks on at night, the last day i rode in my sacred socks. such a great feeling! ☺️ underwear- i ride w/o chamois and swapped between ride pants/shorts during the day, and wore the underwear at night, which i did rinse halfway through. that combined with good backcountry hygiene when going to the bathroom and cleaning up post ride, it all works out!

Wow @@kaitboyle that's a crazy UL setup! I saw you're carrying wipes but not towel. Doesn't your merino get "crispy" after a couple days riding?

What frame bag is that?

[@kaitboyle]

It's a custom Revelate Designs framebag!

Did you have a sleeping pad? Or just your bag and the sheet of Tyvek?
