Oh wow okay, this is the kind of advice I need! What kind of food would you generally bring? There's definitely room to cut down on some gear I'm taking
@@TheRichardHaldane it depends i where i go very remote or places with lots of supplies points .. just remember the more time you go shopping the more time the bike is left ..if i was doing Europe route your doing i would carry 3 to 4 days max and plan my meals arround recipes that you can easy find in small stores breakfast and dinners i would cook lunches would be non cook unless i am traveling when it cold then i would do hot lunches ..
I would add a variety of cable ties to your toolkit. Lightweight and versatile.
