Dummies guide to packing bags!
I apologise for this idiots question. I'm concerned about the weight in the front bar bag. To me, you would want to keep the front as light as possible to reduce any effect on steering. So I usually just have the sleeping gear and tarp in there. However I read about one of the competitors in the Atl...

Re: Cooking stove recommendations

Cooking stove recommendations
Hi Looking to buy a new stove. I don't see me going much beyond boiling water for coffee or pouring into dehydrated food, so no complex cooking sets needed. I doubt I would use this beyond Europe so I'm mainly thinking of gas cylinder set ups, not multi fuel. At the moment I like the look of the MSR...
