RE: Cycling the world on a Steem-budget: Road photography #2
Awesome pics as always, I liked the second one because its one of the only ones of yours I've seen without really nice sunny weather! Have you got any tips on things to take on my bikepacking trip? I'm going for a rackless set up like this
So I won't have too much space! and we are camping rather than staying in hostels etc
DUDE!! You run the exact setup(rack less) that I'm going to transfer into. I have realized I am so lightweight by now that I don't need those big air blocking bags on side! Love your setup man! So good!
I know there are possibility to put water bottle holders on your front fork if you think you might need some extra water, that's what I might do since I will be biking in extremely warm weather at times. General rule of thumb for me is at least 3-4liters
I'm just hoping that I will have enough space for things! Do you think you took too much stuff with you and now you've realised you don't need a lot of it?
I think it requires a special mind to have that little as you bring and I wanna start carrying. I was very good at keeping my stuff down but even then I had stuff I didn't need.
A few tips: try to go with only one set if spare cloth. So you have one on you and one clean set in you bags. If you accept being dirty and bring a very small anti smell deo for under the arms you will quickly not mind.
Rest of your stuff put it all out on the floor and put everything you absolutely need in one pile and all the the "nice to have" in another. You will be surprised how much you can cut off like that:)
Thanks, good tips!
