This is going to seem really dumb, but bear with me. One thing I carry, that is absolutely essential for me, is a small candle lantern. We all know how important rest-sleep-recovery is. I have found that at the end of the day, getting everything sorted, then eating, and then crashing, is not beneficial. So once my dinner is finished and the dishes are done, I find it helpful to sit (I carry a camp chair) and relax for a few minutes. I usually hang the lantern from a convenient limb and set my watch alarm for about fifteen to twenty minutes. The warm glow that candle puts out is quite restful. "Resting" before sleeping? Sound a little odd? Maybe, but I've had a lot of success with it, and I've shared it with all my traveling companions, and I've had quite a few converts. The relaxing is probably more important than the candle lantern itself, but maybe the ritual has something to do with it for me.

I can see your approach to the candle its like watchin a fire its simple to drift into your thoughts

@slow_spokes 5 күн бұрын

As long as you’re conscious not to set the land on fire, sounds very relaxing! (We come from a fire prone place, so we’re always hesitant about open flame.)

@tomsitzman3952 6 күн бұрын

Good presentation. Lots of ways to solve the same problems. We all figure out what works for our needs. I'm a little more old school mainly because I'm old and have been using and modifying old equipment for the past 50 some years of kayak touring, backpacking, canoe touring and bike touring. I'm not a stuff it in pannier sort of guy. I keep everything in a color-coded stuff bags. Works for me. My tringle holds two stainless steel one liter thermal widemouth bottles. I have started mounting four grab bags on the handlebars, two on the front of the bar and two facing the cockpit. I like small front panniers because I feel they are more versatile than dry bags on the fork. Depending on the days agenda and weather I can put extra water on each side or a quick grab for my rain jacket or wind jacket, or grocery stop storage for the day lunch or supper. On the top of the back rack, I carry a dry bag with all the camp sight set up items, tent and poles, my 45 year old Thermolite sleep pad, camp shoes. The dry bag when emptied becomes my door mat. Gave up on a sleeping bag a few years ago and went to the MSS, Modular Sleep System and only take the modules needed for the time of year. I always carry my 16 oz Blizard bag year around in a bright yellow dry bag to cover my body from the tip of my toes to the top of my head in alpaca and merino wool if caught in a storm. Which is also one of the modules in my MSS.

@littlegoobie 4 күн бұрын

I generally carry more bike repair stuff to fix broken things that will end riding and sometimes pushing. e.g. spare spokes, there are also spectra fiber temporary "spokes" because i've been in situations where a wheel no longer rolled in the frame after 3-4 adjacent spokes broke. With all that camera gear, i'm surprised one of you doesn't have a dynamo hub on the front.

@littlegoobie 4 күн бұрын

...and if those pedals don't work out, it might be worthwhile to get a proper bike fit and/or maybe a custom frame

@slow_spokes 4 күн бұрын

Good points! Somehow we forgot to mention that Chris has a fiber spoke in his seat bag as well as several spare spokes attached to the frame. Dynamos are definitely on the wish list for a longer tour, but for now a couple of battery packs have been more than sufficient. Our understanding is that most dynamos are only powerful enough to keep a light and maybe a phone or gps charged. And, Hillary has worked with a bike fitter along the journey to a bike that fits. So far the Fargo has been great!
