This must be the most loaded bikepacking setup I've seen, without traditional excluding & panniers... Unless anyone else has anything more impressive??

Saw this great trip report a couple of months back. I was always wondering how did the suspension cope with all that stuff on it.
I particularly liked the pocket strapped to the saddlebag - have Iceland in my head this year and still wondering if I can do 3-4 weeks rack less. :geek:

Compared to the guys he met though with traditional touring kit is going well light. I particularly like the machete strapped to the bike :D

That looks a nightmare to pack every morning :o

Also, I don't think I can read that report, it's in Comic Sans, and only primary school teachers are allowed to use that font - and even then I disprove...

Ha, you did actually. I think I coped because I skimmed the headlines and was already up to speed fortunately :D , I actually copy and paste stuff in comic sans so I can read it properly :geek: :oops:

Now don't do it again ;)

I note he didn't pack a "Crap Strap". Then again, there's no trees in his photo's, this guy knows what he's doing ;) .
