A realy light minimalist bare essential set up, i must admit i drag around a few more things with me, but i do use them all. I love a hot coffee in the morning!!

[@camperp195]

Cut a couple of squares from an ice cream lid,they can be used to cover sidewall slashes if you have a blow out on tubeless,bit more protection for when u put a tube in👍

[@Grandadgreyhair]

Great stuff you are a proper minimalist, I am now considering losing the sleep Mat, the inflatable pillow, the pub clothes, flip flops, the cooking pot and burner, the woolly hat, first aid kit, and the wash kit. After careful consideration I’m now keeping them 😂 but absolutely agree with your logic and placement of things. I guess as I’m 68 I need a few more bits, anyway like the look of your smiling adventures shirt good luck get it out for Xmas.

[@dafyddlovestocycle]

Rain in Wales! I recommend that you cycle in Machynlleth, it never rains and perfect for bikepacking

[@julianhawker7672]

I waterproofed the outer of my Topeak bag Josh, use clear builders silicone dissolved in spirit and paint it on. Works a treat, look it up, how to videos on YT. HTH

[@gabscar1]

Wow, you sleep warm. I use one of those sleeping bags during the summer in Scotland. Thanks!

[@blister4walken]

Toothbrush? Great set up. I do like a cook kit if im on an overnighter. Yeah, i need a sleep mat. Defo would buy that long sleeve Shirt. Keep smiling 😀

[@grimmar80]

Nice. Light, small, functional. I used a regular trekking pole as a bike stand (tucks under the saddle and holds a loaded bike perfectly). I guess if it would suit you, you'd squeeze 2 or potentially 3 functions out of it (given you leave a bike and go for a walk😉) Thanks for the video.

[@peterharrington8709]

Great seeing your kit Josh. That down stuff certainly packs down like magic! For myself I think I'd add a little stove and pot to boil water for a cuppa or 'pot meal' and merino wool leggings for camp. I've also discovered Capricorn *mohair* socks are the absolute dog's do-das for long lasting warmth and wear.... Oh yeah... and a sleeping pad obviously😄

[@Alan-l3r6k]

Great video as always josh look forward to your next adventure

[@dalj4362]

Great stuff mate. It's good you're fully testing your merch before you sell it. 😊👍

[@DAMN55117]

FJERN...lol. That is how I would say it too, but it is a funny sound.

[@bramsaenen6853]

The Topeak Backloader and the Blackburn framebag are also my go to bikepacking bags on my Ritchey Outback

[@inungasmr353]

I'm planning to build a flatbar gravel bike like this. Wish me luck!! I'm a fan from Indonesia.

[@lydiagould3090]

Nice vid! It's amazing what you can fit into those bags. Ha ha re sleeping mats. I wasted £££s buying 4different ones,all much too bulky/heavy before the Panceltic. I took a tiny one and used it once, but unless you sleep like a log you will end up on the ground anyway. Not taking one this time but i've tried putting a sleeping bag inside the bivvy bag and rolling it up like a sausage and putting it in Restrap front bar bag, inside a drybag. Usually I don't take a sleeping bag ,but now I'm "old" I don't cope with the cold🥶🥶🥶

[@stjohncycling5879]

Really informative video Josh , love watching your adventures , although I’m not a hardcore wild camper I do enjoy an overnight camp . Happy to buy a shirt when there in production. What was the brand of dry bag with valve you’ve got ??

[@j3j326]

I would use some suspension on my new bike when I get it.

[@davesolobiker5601]

Very minimalist , but no food or stove or even beer for camp 🤷‍♂️

[@struanmills5710]

What tent would you prefer to use instead of the Alpkit Soloist? Commendable to keep using until its bust despite having issues with it. Thanks for sharing yet anotehr great video :-)

[@tunic]

no toiletries or first aid kit? where do you take a dump?

[@nickisauer9626]

What about the backpack? You always ride with a backpack right?

[@robinmager]

Great vid. Seems you have a sort of similar distribution of gear to me, but... where do you carry the drone? What drone and what camera do you use?

[@Paulklampeeps]

Have you tried putting inner bar ends?

[@ferrino73]

What made you change the Alpkit soulo for the tarpster ?

[@Akkigraphy]

Like your content! I’m starting the same myself here in Ireland. Been exploring it for almost 2 years and I think documenting is a great way to show others the nature outside of city life. I like your setup….i might go for saddle bag as it seems appropriate for off road riding….why this new channel? Why not on the same channel?

[@south-sendersmtb2458]

What’s the garmin/exposure light mount set up?

[@andrewsides587]

Great to see inside your bags Josh. Thanks for the tour and explanation. Impressively minimal. Do you carry the drone and camera gear in your backpack?

[@robinmager]

That's my question too. Where do you carry the drone? What drone and what camera do you use?

[@Jaysus145]

How do you cook on your trips?

[@telunter]

what 1L bottle do you use? Need to replace mine

[@jeremycornishjc]

No cook kit or hot drinks kit ?

[@michaelbautista8621]

What bike model is this my brother

[@CornishColin]

it's a Sonder Camino Titanium version 1 (Alpkit brand). He bought the frame and built it up himself. I have version 2 of the frame and did the same thing.

[@michaelbautista8621]

@CornishColin have you seen shulz mtb mom's favorite? i think it is from russia!

[@iankstanley]

I take far too much. Including the kitchen sink !!

[@tomolonotron]

Hi, are you on instagram?
