Joe, Brandon, and I set out on a 3-day bike packing adventure through Sequoia National Forest, we faced challenges, connected with nature and found comfort in a cozy yurt after a long day of pedaling.

I had the same problem with the saddlebag. I recommend putting the tent pole in that bag.

We stopped in Johnsondale on our summer (road) tour but got kicked out after getting a little too casual, busting out the hammock and cooking some lunch by the water, oops!

Great video, looking forward to day2 & 3 videos. I used to run a big Apidura seat bag, but am a convert to rear racks. They are so much more stable than the seat bag and don't weigh all that much. Got one for $50 at my LBS, you don't nec. have to splurge on a Tailfin...

Thank you for watching and your kind feedback! Hope you enjoy our day 2 & 3 videos. Rear racks do offer great stability, and I appreciate the suggestion! I need to go check my own LBS! Thanks again!

or just a new Lifestraw Peak water filter. Way smaller and very capable

My favourite filter is the Sawyer Products MINI Water Filtration System. Super small and will filter forever and they are so inexpensive! Can also be used inline with a bladder, sipped through with a straw, or squeeze water through with a foil bag. Only carrying water I needed and being able to refill was liberating!!!

Awesome video! Frame ( and half frame) are your friend, helps you keep more aero and you can keep a ton of stuff in them. You can also use water bladders. Rogue panda makes great and very aesthetic frame bags…
@lifesagem

Thank you so much for the positive feedback! I couldn't agree more - frame bags (and half frame bags) are fantastic for staying aerodynamic and carrying a lot of gear. I'll definitely check out Rogue Panda for some stylish and functional frame bags. Your recommendations are greatly appreciated!

Did you replace the Topstone? Did not like it? You can get a really cheap, lightweight aluminium rack and this will be good enough to keep the bags off the wheel, even if they are not designed for that type of rack.
