As per usual I start by thinking uber-minimal and slowly but inevitably add more and more 'just in case' and 'you never know' items until I'm carrying more than is reasonable.
Here it is:
Seems like I've got too much luggage, no?Bar bag:
- Tent (1000g)
- Mat (300g)
- Quilt (460g)
Seat bag:
- Down jacket
- Down trousers
- Pants
- Socks
- Gloves
- T-shirt
- Shorts
- Buff
Frame bag:
- Waterproof
- Foldable rucksack
- Drybag (passport, cards, cash)
- Food
- Batteries
- Powerbank
- Headtorch
- Cables (phone, headtorch)
Fuel cells (x 2):
- Water (500ml each)
Top tube bag 01:
Tools.....
- Pump
- Pads
- Chain tool
- Spoke key
- Tape
- Tie-wraps
- Multi-tool
- Tube
Top tube bag 02:
- Snacks
No rucksack which is good but I'd also hoped to do without the frame bag but as it's predominantly overflow and food for upcoming meals in there it'll spend a lot of time mostly empty (and therefore light). This system worked well in Tuscany this year.
I like the water in the feed bags next to the snacks for easy refueling on the move.
Too much clothing you think? I'm taking the summer quilt so the additional down camp gear will double up on any cold nights to keep me alive. I could take the new super-warm quilt as it's only 200g heavier but it's a lot bulkier (even when compressed) and I'd still need something warm for camp-wear, no?
Any thoughts?
