Bikepacking is but the realtiy is people have been getting out, and staying out, with their bikes for decades. Being able to take everything you need, but nothing you don’t, is quite a liberating way to approach your trip to the trails. But bikepacking doesn’t need to be about absolute self-sufficiency. While being able to camp on the trail is great, don’t be put off if you’re not keen on camping. You might choose to book accommodation to ride between – or once you’re really experienced, trim back your sleep system to the absolute bare minimum.
