- I answer the classic question. Which is better, Bikepacking bags vs. a classic setup. I test out both in the January cold of Minnesota by cycling across a frozen lake! Both have their pro's and con's and I go through both systems thoroughly to help you make a decision on which route to follow.

Man unfortunatly I gotta go out right now, will watch it later. But I wanted to thank you for sharing your beautiful footage and experience. You are a great adventurer and you looks also like a good fella! cheers
go do life man! the video can wait - Cheers!
Excellent vlog mate well done & good evening from Glasgow, Scotland 🏴🏴🏴👏🏻🚴🏻♂️🚴🏻♂️🚴🏻♂️🚴🏻♂️🏴
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it!
Nice vid, only one thing stands out as not ideal - packing heavier items like jars of peanut butter in the saddlebag. The saddlebag is already prone to swinging even when strapped down, and putting heavy things in it will make it worse and make the balance worse when it does swing. Much better to pack the heaviest items in the framebag or some other place that is lower and more center on the bike. Keep the saddlebag for things like sleeping bag, clothes, etc. Light stuff that can be stuffed into the saddlebag and really pack down tight when you strap it all down. Just my two cents. :)
Good point Quinn! I totally agree
Thanks for the bag comparison. Love the little green traffic man of Berlin :)
Glad you enjoyed it! Prost! 😉
Good times on the lake! I like rear panniers because, where else am I supposed to put 5kg of dog food, 3.5kg of oats, 6 beers, and 4 bags of potato chips?
haha sounds like a full load!
going with panniers on my first trip, will be on packed gravel/Rail trail and road.
awesome good call! don't stress to much about the specifics and enjoy the trip!
Very good reviews! Love how you rode with it as well! Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
useful video. thanks.
My pleasure!
i think the advantage of seatpost is less chance of breaking compared to racks and the clips on the other bag ... good video
Thanks @bikepacking - I agree but also think that racks breaking is as big of an issue as it is made out to be. I have cracked my rack but it can always be fixed with tape until welding options are available. I guess, I wouldn't tell someone not to use a rack because it might break.
saddle bag should by packed with heaviest stuff first
good call!
