Holy Smokes! Imagine if that gear was all packed on his bike, it would have been 57lbs


Looks like an amazing location, and good riding too.

Lovely pictures ... but they weren't half carrying some poor show Under cooking gear, did I miss mention of stove / fuel, etc?

Oddly, I think 56lb is about average at the WRT weigh-in :)

I like the addition of pruning saw to the kit list.

Will there be an opportunity for a camp fire at the winter bivvy? If so, I'll bring my saw too :)

Yeah, but did you notice he was sharing a tent with his mate, which his mate was carrying!

I'm no super light packer but WTF?

I'm even planning on a couple of ciders in the bag for the winter bivi but it still wouldn't be that heavy.

That weight in a rucksack would kill my back and wonky shoulder

I think that's the same area the article on bike packing in the new Singletrack is from. Oddly, it looks like a different three guys but they made the same choice of MASSIVE rucksacks.
