My Brompton Bikepacking Gear - Only 5kg!

As I was preparing my equipment for next weeks hike of the Cleveland Way in Yorkshire, it occurred to me that this is the same gear I use if I go Bikepacking as well.
We all know our Bromptons can carry 10kg front and rear but it’s clearly better if you don’t take that much gear - it just is. I use an app called PackLight, you simply weigh all your kit which goes into a gear inventory. Then, when you plan a trip you give it a name (eg Cleveland Way) and then pack virtually on the app, adding and removing items until you’re happy with the total weight. Finally you use the list as a pack list to ensure you don’t forget anything.
So, here is a quick run through of what 5kg of camping gear & spare clothes - ALL IN - can look like. Imagine how much easier and enjoyable your ride will be without all that weight.
By the way, all my shelters are big enough to get the bike inside also!

It’s great to see someone talking about going light on a bike. I’m going to check out the toothpaste and soap alternatives.

Hello Stu,

[@danieladams2986]

Really cool video and travel kit suggestions. May the Lord bless you with many more joyful adventures

[@johnfroggatt1455]

Really useful video Stu. Any chance you could list the items to save having to stop/start the vedeo?

[@ascar77uk]

by the time you add in the weight of walking poles for your tent you would be better just using a light tent

[@JulianHutchings]

Very interesting and helpful video Stu. Are you sure about your clothes for a week? No mention of underwear, socks, shirts, trousers, shoes, etc. Or do you just take what you're wearing?
