Hi guys, I went on my first Bikepacking trip with my new'ish gravel bike ( I built it 5 month ago) and here are some impressions.

Went from Hamburg across Germany to Freiburg (I will be there tomorrow) 1300km approximately in 18 days ( I had some rest days).

I've slept on public camp cites, at friends houses and in "strangers" gardens which I found through 1nitetent (really nice community, check it out).

I had mixed terrain throughout the whole trip.
Black Forest was more off-road focus and the hills with inclines of up to 22% were brutal.

I brought my winter kit with me, which
was a good choice, first night was -4C°.

An no, I didn't bring the dumbbell seen in the second picture šŸ˜…

Weight without water was about 23-24kg (bike weights about 9kg)
