- In this video we look at 13 essentials you'll want to carry with you while bikepacking.
We've gone over the basic kit you'll need to think about in emergencies, some items that can easily live in your frame bag and a couple of little life hacks for carrying them.

Wheel spokes being quite long and easily broken can be carried in your bike tubes? In your seat tube for instance. Tape them together and tape them so that they are easily retrievable. I have a few in my seat tube and take them out when I remember to. One thing I like to take with me, that isn’t essential, is a pair of Binoculars. I always use them too, I like to spot birds and wildlife, and they’re good for route selection too. A small compact pair will be super useful and inexpensive. Good to have.
I am enjoying your vids, I think I go ‘lighter’ than you do, but that’s down to choice. Gear will evolve into being the best ‘kit list’ for you, the more you get out bike packing. Enjoy your biking adventures.
Glad I watched this! First trip next month for me
Cable ties are number 1. So useful,]. Held rack in place when mounting bolt snapped. But missed out on toilet paper.
Thank you for sharing this...
i like how he packs 6 extra spokes but doesn't always bring a toothbrush for an overnight.
One of these two things let you carry on riding when things go wrong. I'll take the spokes! 😜
I've never had a spoke break and my kit is much heavier. Six is definitely overkill.
Thanks a lot, good video! Greetings from Italy :)
Phone numbers aside from your phone, so obvious now and so important but I had not thought of it. Thank you.
I hope those aren't real phone numbers hahaha a lot of people are going to see this! Very valuable information! Thanks!
Rhode Ikea bags är terrible btw.
Outrageous dental hygiene admission in this 😂
Wow! That little soy sauce fish is a good idea.
great to see you adding a first aid kit & a good food knife, these are essential to any ride ;) I would never take a down jacket though as when you sweat or it gets wet it provides very little insulation compared to synthetic insulation, I use a softie vest without arms whilst touring which works much better here in the UK. good video.
Softie, is this a soft shell you are referring to? Cheers Peter
Good to take a down jacket not for riding in but wearing at night in camp or knocking about in
Down jacket is essential for cooler climates, for the off-bike time. The weight and space it takes is a no-brainer.
Very good video for little tips. What model of leatherman multitool is it you take? Thanks
Cable ties are essential. I've also taken a leatherman but in practice it isn't that useful. Opinel and multi-tool are more than enough.
What shoes do you pack? Obviously you have your cycle shoes for cycling but what do you use in camp or in the hostel/hotel?
I just got a pair of Fitkicks on Amazon that were super cheap. They roll up really small so they are easy to pack. At some point I'll probably buy a pair of Xero shoes for something much nicer quality that still packs small.
@@BlairAltman - Thanks - I was looking at something similar on Amazon - www.amazon.de/Putu-Badeschuhe-Strandschuhe-Schwimmschuhe-Gymnastiksschuhe/dp/B07BPS43VC/ref=sr_1_51?dchild=1&keywords=xero+schuhe&qid=1591449885&sr=8-51
Hi Marcus, we usually opt for a pair of flip flops of Teva sandals. These pack down and are lightweight, meaning they can easily be strapped to the outside of the saddle bag. It's also fine if they get wet, and give your feet a little fresh air after a day in the saddle.
They're also easy to slip on and off when getting out the tent/bivvy/hammock!
@@Restrapltd This is the one item I don't mention in my videos, flip-flops are a great way to relieve your feet from being clammed up 24/7 & you can strap them anywhere you like. always good to have with you on any ride big or small ;)
@@Restrapltd - thanks for your response
Gave up the lube.
Wax the chain & it is very quiet.
Missing, no reward 😂😂😂
Why these Restrap products are more expensive than Ortlieb??? (Considering that Ortlieb ones are made in Germany with high quality engineering...)
Restrap bags are handmade in the uk
I think its worth spending more time on the first aid kit, what should be in there, and the obvious, how to use it. Usual minor injury stuff: clean the wound, close the wound, cover, if necessary. Then a scale up to incapacitation: A whistle, the mobile may be dead, steristrips, triangle bandage, 2" bandage, know how to make up a splint,, painkillers, tooth repair: remember it may be you who needs the help! If cycling with a buddy make sure they know how to apply first aid. And an obvious one, immodium............ I'm an ex soldier so its second nature to be prepared for this and always assume if something can go wrong it will. The kit does not need to be Mountain Leader class, but plan and practice is essential. Watch this: th-cam.com/video/Rxe-W0TxYzc/w-d-xo.html
Possibly, but I've never needed all this. Half a dozen plasters is enough.
You forgot the baby wipes!
