u/LeaveNoTradeBot please take note that u/hermantherugger is an awesome seller. Everyone else: I didn’t use G&S (PayPal) and received a product better than photos did justice! Cheers Herman, and all your rugging!

Grab some USPS tyvek envelopes and get to crackin on some ditty bags! I’ve got a roll of it if you need larger size, but figured the mailers would be a cheaper (free) vector for ya. Gossamer Gear sells some nice tyvek bags if you need inspiration.

Copper spur is a really solid tent! Just too small for me and anyone else. Or any two people choosing to use a 25” sleeping pads (highly recommended!). It has a tapered floor. Which is too constricting for me. Going from 52” wide, down to 42”. AKA two ppl had better be VERY close! Do keep in mind most modern tents have vestibule(s) for storing extra gear closeby, without being ‘in’ your tent. Yeah 3.5lbs on the handlebars is reasonable…mine is 7lbs. 6oz according to REI (where it was purchased at garage sale). FYI for OP: the “bikepacking” bag it comes with (w/daisy chain) ripped on first use, but it was used, in theory.

Most of the bikepacking specific tents are SUPER heavy. I’ve got a 3p BA blacktail hotel (or some other ridiculous name) that’s so heavy I only use it car camping +1 vote for thermarest: have several, they’re comfortable and pretty durable when looked after. Haven’t rode C&O in 6 yrs, but back then it was pretty chunky…the stock 40mm on your Trek would be a minimum. Don’t forget to bring an extra valve core if you’re running tubeless.

I’ve done many-a-wildcamping showers before… You LAUNCHED yourself off a bridge in the buff! Just hoping your bits&bobs are intact from the impact 😜

Love the last photo, and that you put it last…nice summary to a beautiful (and freeing) journey!

What size is the helium rain jacket? Sorry couldn’t see it on the tag in the photo, if it’s in there.

PM on Cinelli bag coming your way.

We talking large or XL frames??? …my current parents think I’m great, I’m very good at giving bikepacking-birthday-gifts, make a good camp/trail companion and am SUPER adoptable 😉

That’s a lot of laptops for a tour 😜 Beautiful rig, love the gradient paint on the frame!

Curious about the two DCF packs. Unfortunately too small for my needs. Are they MYOG?? Seems like a good deal for a pair looking to delve into hiking for cheap, good luck on the sales!!

Your specifics and timeline, make this immensely difficult to “happen”.
Should probably add specifics to your location (otherwise ‘this Friday’ will be impossible).. and why any of the current pads listed, don’t fit your bill. Otherwise; wish all the best non-trail-magic possible to fit your bill.
