He's written a few articles for bikepacking.com, seems a decent sort.

Interesting list there, and nice to see a different variety of bikes fitting the gnarlier terrain of what looks a fabulous and tough route. There's not 40% of the field on cutthroats like the TD! Interesting someone chose to carry water on their back anticipating lots of climbing over deadfall timber with the bike, so keeping the bike lighter...

Bar ends seem to making a comeback or did they never go away?

This is a much more interesting selection of bikes. Older and new. Rigid, hardtail and full sus. Droppers aplenty

Looks to be a few without a tarp or overhead cover as well

I like bar ends, I used them a lot pre Jones loops, they worked really well. Really don't work well with Jones loops though, i've tried!
