Alright, so I’m about ready to go on my first bikepacking tour with a tent, starting next Saturday. Planned to do 4 days, 3 nights. Route’s going to be this: https://cycle.travel/map/journey/617799. This is basically in my “backyard”. In total 413km.
As it’s my first, I’d be eager to know whether I totally overlooked something. I’ll be sleeping on camping sites, as wildcamping is forbidden in 🇨🇭. Places are booked.
I’ll have two panniers — Ortlieb. They are not fully packed. I figured I’ll take two, as I already have them and it’s better for balance (compared to just one).
– Tent
– Sleeping mat
– Sleeping bag
– Sleeping bag THIN (“hut”)
– Pillow
### Hygiene
– Tooth brush
– Tooth paste
– Shower gel (“soap”)
– Deo
– Towel (long)
– Kitchen towel
– Sun screem spray and non-spray
– Wet wipes baby
## Electronics
– 2x Smartphone
– 2x Power bank
– Charger
## Food & Drink
– Bottle for water-ish stuff (0.8l)
– Dextrose
– 15x Date bars mix
– 4x Fruit bars
– 3x Gel
– Nuts

I am new to this. Been monitoring what others do as I build my own rig. What kind of brooks seat is that? I see seats like that a lot. Didn’t see anything that looked close enough on the Brooks site that looked like yours. Do they slowly mold to your ass over time or did yours come like that?

Did I overlook something?
