Packing List

It is my home for several years and it is carrying all the things I need to survive, with a little bit of comfort items as well. It is a lot of things to be cycling with, but not a lot of things to be living with.

The Baggage

Including food and water, I carry around 30kg:

2 front panniers
2 rear panniers
1 dry-bag
1 handlebar bag
Loose items: camera, wire and tyre
