Maybe others have suggested this but to refine that setup.... I'd look at using various colored silnylon dry bags. Once they get the air pressed out of them, it helps keep your load small and organized as well as another protective layer against water and dust. They weigh almost nothing. Just a thought. I was kind of surprised that a number of the smaller things you keep in the saddle bag are things I keep in my frame bag.... but we all have different ways of packing. Nicely done video.
Stoked On Spokes that is good to have along with a good first aid course. Your "Standard" first aid course is more towards an urban/easily accessible type of very basic treatment where you are 30 minutes from advanced treatment. If you are into really remote situations of potentially days/weeks with likely not seeing anyone else consider a "Remote/Wilderness first aid course - it is much more intense with intense practical exercises (with actors) as well as covering issues like when do you stop CPR - hint, when your life is at risk, and splints, when and how to use a tourniquet, how to remove a helmet and lots of other things and most important "act without thinking about it" and not be frozen unable to act but lots of knowledge which happens to about half or more people with standard first aid.
Cool videos! Just one question: how do you dry your riding clothes at night? At the end of the day mine are completely soaked (i sweat a lot) and only one pair of riding clothes isn't enough for me...
i hate you. after watching your 3 vids i did rethink my complete bikepacking setup and came up with new things to buy or to swap out. grrrrr :) awesome series, very well and compactly presented. keep it on!! cheers from germany
P Hacker haha I’m sorry. I also hate leaving a video thinking I have to buy something new. But just work on selling some old gear to make up for that :)
Thank you for the video! How much food can you put in that bag like that? The example you shared only shows two wraps, would that be all you would eat during the couple days bike tour? Or is there enough room for more food in that bag? Thank you in advance for the response! Best
Johannes Boucsein LOL, some of us just can't sleep without a pillow ;) then again no coffee for the morning or tea in the evening or..... And as someone else pointed out no even basic first aid kit.
I can see why you don’t carry a cook set on the trail. But I kinda like the option to cook when I go Bikepacking. I have several of the Oveja Negra bags and they are great. The only downsides: they are expensive and they are not waterproof. Thanks for the videos.
Ward Snauwaert no usually don’t plan on stopping anywhere where I have to lock up.. if I do then I would bring one. Most of the time If you have to go into a place I’d just bring my bike in with me... ask for forgiveness... hehe cheers!
Great vid. 3 months ago i picked up a gravel bike. Your vid was really helpful. I liked that it was in three parts. That made it easy to find content to rewatch very easy. Thanks !
Appreciate the support !! I love the rove so far ! Have been riding it since early july and really enjoying it. Here in a month or so I’ll be doing a review and some thoughts on it.
I don't wanna sound like a narky hippie, but i do hope you have eco friendly, bio degradable toothpaste (and soap). Not that colgate kind of crap, which contains shit like fluoride which is bad for your health and microplastics. Safe travels!
Please rethink making fire, or at least showing it. I know it is romantic, cool looking, etc etc. By fire after fire after fire, and when you try to camp you have black spots from previous week, month, season, because "everybody" are so romantic. What I am saying -- be like a ghost, take memories, leave nothing.
No BS, straight to the point, nice approach for a lightweight & minimal setup. Thanks !
I really enjoyed all three videos. The quality was really high too!
Thanks ! Glad you enjoyed them !
Thanks for the series, was so helpful!!!

I have that seat post bag for 6 years still perfect
I watched all 3 vids. Good insight. I'll have to give some of those ideas a go. Thanks!
Excellent video series on setup - clear, eloquent and concise - job well done 👍
Thanks for the info. I see now that I over pack. Or you under pack. Or both.
very cool series!
just watched all three of the series
This channel is new to me, I like it by far. Pretty decent content!
Enjoyed all three videos. Thanks for the great ideas.
Thanks for your 3 videos on packing.
don't be sad bro. Life is great!
Subbed after this series. Excited to watch more of your content!
Thanks for the tips. I would suggest a small first aid kit as well. Just in case.
This is something I’ve been thinking about ! Thanks for the reminder I’ll add it to my kit

Good job, nice setup.
Great information mate many thanks. Excellent presentation.
Great series.. Learned a lot. Thanks
Great series. Thanks for sharing.

adventure/ gravel/ mountain/ commuting all types of bike riding, it's awesome!
Ryan Docena yeah ! That’s what it’s about ! :)
All three videos were very helpful. Thank you !

@@JoshRomeroYT selling? nooooo, you ALWAYS need spare bags and parts, just in case something gehts.. eeehm... dirty?? ;)
Thanks for the channel, nice content, love the minimalism.
Thanks man, very well thought out. Taking notes
Nice video and review. Please share the details of the saddle bag. Many thanks

Funny, we both ride Roves. You should check out the Spinelock seat bag by Revelate designs. No sag, no sway, cool mounting system. Pretty tight.
Simple and informative, nice video mate!
hello from r/bikepacking. good video. i was already subscribed but i didn't realise :)
Thanks for the support !
Looks more like bike-glamping... A pillow? :D Very nice video and thanks for the tips!

short and sweet.
Loved these 3 vids, thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed them!
Nice series! What ziplock was that with the burritos in it; and how do you like it?
Hi, what the bag liter size?
👍👍👍
Great videos! Do you carry a bikelock? Any thoughts about bringing one?
Ward Snauwaert no usually don’t plan on stopping anywhere where I have to lock up.. if I do then I would bring one. Most of the time If you have to go into a place I’d just bring my bike in with me... ask for forgiveness... hehe cheers!
Hellooo, nice series. Best from Poland
_________ thanks ! Cheers!
Great content, would rather the entire series in one video though!
Is it worth it to pack a hatchet? I realize it's a lot of extra weight, but I mean it's better than packing kindling and fire wood right?
Look up twig stoves.
Hi, what is the bottle holder on the downtube at 1:20? Thanks

I enjoyed the series. I did have a tough time catching the names of the gear bags.
Thanks for the feedback! I will go back and write the bag names on the details of each video! :) cheers
What kind of transport medium do you recommend for water supplies? I mean apart from the standard bottles.
What brand and size dry bag are you using?
hey, what is the capacity of this bag? 6L? cheers
What kind of mtb you are using tnx
A bit too minimalist for me, but I bet it's a pleasure to have so little weight to move around.
Cool channel, just found it & subscribed. How do you like the Rove? Greetings from the Netherlands!
Appreciate the support !! I love the rove so far ! Have been riding it since early july and really enjoying it. Here in a month or so I’ll be doing a review and some thoughts on it.
Do you have any kind of first aid or so?
Roman Hummel I didn’t when I filmed this but another person here on UA-cam recommended I carry one ! I couldn’t agree more I’ll add one to the kit !
Nice 3 videos but for the use of background music
Where is your first aid bro??
Do you hang your food because of bears?
I don't wanna sound like a narky hippie, but i do hope you have eco friendly, bio degradable toothpaste (and soap).
Not that colgate kind of crap, which contains shit like fluoride which is bad for your health and microplastics.
Safe travels!
