Items need for over night touring

[bikehog164]

Hey guys,

What essentials are there needed for overnight touring. A basic list would be very useful. Thank you.

It may not seem connected, but I found the Duke of Edinburgh Award kit list to be a great starting point, and to remind of things I'd have otherwise forgotten: https://www.dofe.org/go/exk/

Have a look at the bikamper tent by Topeak I love mine! Then a roll mat a Moonbag & a handy pub does it for me.

Almost every time I travel in Africa I bump into people cycling from London to Cape Town (or vice versa). Their needs include cooking food and purifying water, plus huge water carrying ability, a medical kit, maps, paperwork and so on. They obviously have to carry some food, as well as being able to repair any mechanical catastrophe on the bike at least well enough to get to the next town (which could be 5 days ride away).

So, what I am getting at is that we need a little more information before you can get any sort of sensible answer.

your bike.

you can sleep under the stars it may be a little cold and maybe a little wet if you are unlucky but i have done it before
food and a pint are good before the sleep and food and a pint of orange juice are good after sleep
Cheers Ed

Having said that I've been known to sleep under a bush in a plastic sack in my clothes.

When the kids pointed and said "isn't that dad?", Mrs RM hushed them and quickly walked away.
