That's right a rucksack and it feels wrong I'm taking a group of blokes out overnight who are new to the whole bikepacking thing so I'm carrying more stuff than normal, hence the rucksack. It's a 20l AlpKit one* and it's nowhere near full or all that heavy but it still feels wrong ... we'll see how I get on. I'm hoping the 8lb I've lost will make up for it

*Great item BTW

Well I didn't die or suffer much and luckily non of these three died either ... although I think they might have suffered a little

ahhhh, the old plastic bags under the socks - a classic!
