Travelling light is the ultimate luxury! The more you do it the less you realise you need.

Where'd you keep the chair?!

It folds up to fit in the frame bag's map pocket

What was your route and how many nights/where did you camp?
@kurt.refsnider2 ай бұрын
This was a couple big days and one day out - Packer Saddle, Spencer Creek, back to Big Boulder to D'ville, up to Chimney Rock, back to D'ville, and back up to Packer Saddle.

It's in my handlebar bag with my sleeping bag and pillow. See the video description for more on all that

I experienced heavy condensation with the bivy bag set up both inside the bivvy and outside. I was breathing out of the bivy bag, so the condensation wasn't due to the breathing moisture. I stopped on a grassy field and the weather was clear. I was waking up around 6:00 in the sunlight. I'm trying to find a strategy to avoid this. Maybe avoid grassy fields?

Sleeping beneath trees and avoiding topographic lows can definitely help reduce how much dew accumulates on the outside of a bivy or tent (cool air settles in topographic lows, and dew can thus be heavier). Bivies are quite prone to condensation on the inside. Truly waterproof bivies are the worst for that; more breathable ones can be a bit better, but they're not as reliable if you're out all night in the rain, so it's definitely a compromise. That's why I prefer a mid-style shelter or a tarp over a bivy for most trips.

Is there any way to run a seat bag with a dropper post?
@dkone17462 ай бұрын
Check out the Wolftooth Valais 25. You lose a little of your drop, but it works great.
@kurt.refsnider2 ай бұрын
Yes, some work fairly well if you have enough clearance between the bag and your rear tire when you have the seat dropped. You can limit the drop with the WolfTooth Valais clamp, too. I use the Revelate Designs Shrew, Stoat, and Terrepin 8L all on my dropper posts.

On this trip I had sandwiches, snacks, and grabbed dinner in Downieville when I passed through.
