''Hey Greg

What do you mean by gear?

I basically  pack a tent - Macpac Citadel, sleeping bag - minus 7 waterproof Mountain hardware, sleeping mat (down air mattress - Exped)

A OR helium tarp and rope, a tarp to sleep on when it isnt raining (I hate tents and love stars)

A tripod chair and small tarp to lay on by the fire when it all gets too much after a hard days ride and a stomach full of beer and drambuie. Too hard to stay on the tripod stool.

1 pair of jeans,  thongs,  thermals, 2 t shirts, 3 under gloves, 3 gloves, 2 over gloves, 2 spare socks.

2 beanies (1 thermal), foooood, beeeer, Drambuie and a jaffle iron.

Riding gear, crappy boots with Neos waterproof over boots, BMW something or other pants and jacket, polarfleece vest with thermals top and bottom.

'turtle fur' neck warmer hoodie thing, Rjays open face and scott goggles.

BMW rain suit.

A tonne of tools and spares and bitsnpeices of wire random bolts and spacers and wide electrical/duct tape and cable ties and rope, an inner tube and plenty of patches and spare glue, valves, a good pushbike pump. (everything always breaks or falls off)

10l jerry can of fuel plus the sub tank for fuel, oil.

First aid kit.

Chocolate and museli bars....

Thats about it, did that cover it for you??

Cheers

and get out there...!

Hi Josh,

Excelent Photos,

Just a question on the type of gear you have stowed on the Postie?

Hi Greg,

Josh's list sounds pretty familiar as it's close to what I carry, except for the sub-zero gear (when it's that cold, I avoid bikes).
For tools, my aim is to carry the minimum I can get away with. Here's a link to see how my tool roll is organised.

I should also mention that for some reason 2 days or ten days the amount of gear is the same.

Food is the only variation.

Oh and I take 2 spare pares of undies but on my recent 9 day ride I only needed one of the spares....!

So Greg are you planning a trip?

Cheers

JOsh
