Dude, I just stumbled on your video and you're the guy I was looking for. DIY, no nonsense, tried and tested and you like the same stuff as I. Thanks for showing your setups. I suscribed without any hesitation. You got it!
I had a machete on my right fork leg from El Salvador to Colorado some years ago. It was an amazing gift from an old man on the road while coming through. It ended up about as important as a seat or wheels. That machete got me home. Nice rig, cheers.
You are trully a McGyver on a bike. Iam just getting ready for my first backpacking adventure and I love your setup. I was also thinking of just using cheap 30l drybag mounted on a rear rack. I find it cheap and convenient. But after seeing many and many backpacking videos, yours is better than any I have seen. I love the apocalyptic readiness of your machette and simplicity behind other of your solutions. Using bike as a mounting point for shelter is very innovative and I think I should take this into consideration. greetings from slovakia.
Thanks for watching and for your comments! Yes, a 30L is about the right size and makes the most sense. Seat bags / saddle bags are just too small. The bike shelter I use keeps the bike under the tarp and 95% dry without having to flip the bike upside down. I'll get into that on the next video. Greetings from Peru.
All good brother, plus The Who - winner. I wouldn't get away with a machete in the UK - knife laws here are way strict and I understand to some extent but most stabbing are with a kitchen knife not hunting knives. I have a split kind of set up - I still have panniers on the rear rack and front forks. I have the feeling my water bottle cage with go soon - I'm also looking at a bladder config. I have 3 bikes - 1 tourer and 2 MTB's and a trailer and possible/probably another smaller trailer soon. Love your loadout - awesome. You don't take extra clothes huh.
I like bikepacking, but safety is compromised, not to mention the difficult to let the bicycle outside while you go to grocery store and other places. So I decided to have a different approach: a 40L backpack attached to the rear of the bicycle, and a 20L dry bag attached to the front. Also a 2L dry bag hanging on the top tube for a quick access to things I need frequently (it remains open). Also a mid-size pochete on my back. When I stop, everything can be easily dettached from the bicycle while it remains locked with a U-Lock. Have to mantion that I am a minimalist, so I cut from my life many things. I'm almost a thai buddhist monk. LoL!
I know what you mean. I can't leave my bike anywhere in Peru without everything being locked up. Seems like your system is similar to mine besides the attached backpack in the back. Good idea! The more bikepacking, hiking and lugging gear around you do the more minimalist you become. Most of the time I have things I want to bring but I just don't want to carry it anymore. Thanks for posting!!
I'm with you. It's another world. If you do make it down I have a couple of expeditions still up for grabs which are mostly trail. This one is hiking / packrafting incanexpeditions.com/expeditions/amazon-trek-creek-packrafting-expedition and this one is bikepacking / packrafting incanexpeditions.com/expeditions/lake-valencia-bikepacking-and-packrafting-expedition Thanks for the comment.
Awesome man. We're going to be getting on the Apurimac with our Alpackas near Kimbiri in a couple of weeks. Any chance we could buy you dinner and some beers and get some advice?
Yeah, it's a real finger buster if you don't have a machine. Luckily I found a shoe repair guy to knock out 6 of each (bag/harnesses) for tour groups. I recommend buying bags and harnesses unless you're picky. Thanks for watching!
Thank you! My boats are by Alpackaraft in the US but there are similar boats by other companies such as Kokopelli, MRS and others from China to Europe.
Thanks for sharing your ideas! I love how you are encouraging others to get creative and make their own gear!
Yes, you can't always buy something to do exactly what you want it to do. Thanks for watching!
I love this video. You’re cool as. 😎
Thanks!!

Thanks for watching, subscribing and for the comment! I hope it gives you some useful ideas for your own setup. Super!
Holy crap… there’s a LOT going on there. Great video and extremely creative.

I love to hear stuff like this. Great story. Yes, it needs to be handy at all times. Thanks!

that tent setup is very smart like the pegs hidden brillant
Holly shit this is the most DIY setup i've seen in a while. Awesome ideas.
Thanks! I hope you find something useful.
Hey man great video!! Love your style!! 😎👍
Thanks!!
Man I love your setup!
For me, coming up with my set up and customizing it to my exact needs is half the fun of bikepacking!
Thanks! I agree and I think everyone should be doing this to some extent, not just for saving money but for being able to fix your gear in the field.

I am looking forward to a follow up video on the bike bush wacking sport! Nice set-up this gives me inspirational!
Thanks! This will most likely be a jungle bikerafting trip in the future at either Manu National Park or Puerto Maldonado. Please stay tuned!
very cool.
The only thing I want to do before I die is trek through the jungle. Maybe ill see ya out there one day this is a pretty sweet set up though

This setup is sick!

Sure! Got your email. See you soon.
Your setup looks great. I wish I had the patience and knowledge to make my own bags

quality content ! you deserve way more views
Thank you. I appreciate that.
Awesome work bro, heading into the Canadian wilderness bikerafting soon.
Thanks. Fantastic, and I hope you don't have any grueling inclines like I had. Downhill is just fine.
Awesome.
ps bikepacker use velo straps no one i know uses bungie cords
I originally tried to get some Voile straps but nobody ships here. The wide velcro is $1 per meter.
