Tent, air mattress, sleeping bag, pillow and small stove cookset. One spare set of clothes, a puncture repair kit and my luxury item - a small transistor radio. I also carry a tiny first aid kit, a sit mat, one or two other items, but basically my entire kit list for a week or two away on the bike will fit in a medium sized carrier bag. I love your kit list but it is light years away from mine. Always interesting to see how we all do it differently - thank you for sharing! 🤗

Keeping it simple! What do you do about water? Note you didn’t mention anything.

what’s your light years away list !? 😊

You picked several redundancies, but I think it´s totally cool in your case. When hiking, you can bring anything you are comfortable with as long as you can walk it, when bikepacking, bring what you can ride. Bring some extra body weight, aka as fat. Bring a good sense of what is safe or not. Prepare your body, aka training. I talked to several hikers, bikepackers, and campers who did not finish their trip and in almost all cases, they were no longer "comfortable". It's never about ultralight or finishing, it's always about staying within your comfort zone that only you own. Looking forward to watching more of your videos! Greetz from Germany. Cheers, Chris

Good video! I'm thinking of going for my first multi-day trip and comparing this list to what I had in mind, this looks like a month expedition 😀 I will reconsider.

There's very little difference between what you'd need long term and what you need for a few days. Except for food really.

Really useful review of your kit Stephen and interesting to hear how little of it you didn't actually use. I'm just back from a 10 day Flamping (fly-camping) trip to France by Microlight (aircraft) - took loads of dry food and hardly used any of it! Also bought a Thermacell Backpacker and completely forgot to take it, but in view of your report, probably the best decision I didn't actually make. Not sure I'd have survived to make the trip at all though if my wife noticed 'manky boots' on her dining table😐 🤣

First I want to say I like your cycle touring content more than your old stuff. It’s more relatable to me. Probably doesn’t matter much but wanted to say it. Secondly, I highly recommend padded cycling bibs over the shorts. Bibs don’t slip down so they are way more comfortable when walking around.

@StephenJReid Жыл бұрын

Thanks! Is that just because you prefer cycling? I've a mix of content in the pipeline

@Heindl661 Жыл бұрын

@@StephenJReid Yes, exactly. What I’m trying to say is that I’m excited to see you doing bikepacking/touring content.

@pootlingalong8928 Жыл бұрын

I’m not a fan of cycling gear, as a female I’m happy to tour in ordinary leggings and even long cotton skirts (superb in heatwave weather). I’m not really a cyclist, just a walker who prefers to put all the camping gear on a bike rather than my back! 😁

@catherinewatt4394 22 күн бұрын

I watched them all - great videos - always think of places like Australia as somewhere with deadly animals but your encounters with all sorts of blood sucking creatures that also pass on diseases and poisonous plants reminds me that there's always something out to get you regardless of where you are 😂 Love your videos

@Heindl661 Жыл бұрын

Alternatively, if you wanted to forego the padded shorts altogether, I’ve heard that a leather Brooks saddle would allow you to do that and still be comfortable all day.

Good essential kit list. I wear thin running or cycling leggings under my shorts around the campsite at night - keeps the bugs off and stops my little legs feeling the chill, then wear them to bed if its going to be cold in the night. I find cycling underwear's a better idea and more comfortable than the nappy feeling 'proper' Lycra padded cycling shorts - has 'some' padding, but doesn't feel like you've filled your pants. I enjoyed watching the mini series about the trip, looked like you both had a fun time 🙏🏽

@StephenJReid Жыл бұрын

Didn’t know cycling underwear was a thing. Shall investigate!

@Chris66able Жыл бұрын

I find MTB cycling clothes more comfortable. Also I wear a pair of MTB cycling over shorts, which come down to the knee and are waterproof, over normal leggings, and are far better than traditional waterproof leggings because you don't not over heat in them.

What sort of gravel bike do u have bud?

@StephenJReid Жыл бұрын

It's a discontinued Mango AR, started life as a road bike but the frame and forks were designed to be used as either. Not the best gearing for a gravel bike though, bad for really steep hills.
