Stuff you don't need on tour.....

[wifflebat]

I've never toured on a bike and can't see it happening anytime soon...though I do like the sound of it.
Stupid Q but what do you do with your bike while you sleep? Just chain it up somewhere as close as possible to the tent? Entwine it in the guy ropes so a thievery attempt wakes you up and you can attack them with your hammer?

For some reason the photographs remind me of The Generation Game with Brucie

He does carry a cuddly toy:

But I am not one for cutting my toothbrush in half to save half a gram.

Yeah, but he has an electric toothbrush, a spare head and 2 different toothpastes.

Which makes his panniers better equipped than my bathroom

Also 2 different "wipes", 4 bottles of ... what? 2 nail clippers .... etc

2 tubes of toothpaste.... I will be interested to see how he does. He only has a relatively short distance to cover in 5 mths (about 5000km) so only 33km a day.

If those are jetboil pans he's splashed a fair amount of money on them. My son won a jetboil in a comp and I briefly thought of keeping it until I added up costs of things I might need with it and decided it was waaayyy too much money.

• also a standard torch, a head torch and a lantern.
• 6 pairs of socks
• 2 sleeping bags (!)

In case he pulls? Pulls a homeless person, obviously, who can't invite him into his or her bedroom.

It's bonkers, what a palaver every night, I notice similar on many US riders tales on CGAOB. This bike is nuts, if he was setting out along the Nullarbor Plain on his own, fair enough, but he is in the USA with every convenience he could wish for available at regular intervals.

Use it to hold the tent up.

The lilo looks similar to an Exped air and so that could stay. The table and chair looks like those that cost an arm and a leg and and fold down to almost nothing and weigh even less and so they can stay as well. He has got some good gear. But seems to have an awful lot of it. Someone should send him the TCR link.

Apart from the somewhat big looking bar bag (oh and the flag/sail) that's surely not so extreme?

Always wary of folks like that to be honest. Would avoid him.
