Hi everyone! I’m interested in getting into bikepacking, but I’d like to try it out before I invest in a bunch of gear. This is the only bike I have… I know it’s not ideal, I only really use it now on bike paths and around the neighborhood. But do yall think there’s any way I could rig it for a night or two trip? Or any modifications that could make it work? It’s an SE Bikes Monterey 3.0 7 speed that I bought secondhand a while back. TIA!

The gearing might be a bit tight if you’re not traveling on flat terrain… but it’ll do the trick, of course. Add a rear rack and get a couple of panniers, and you’ve got what you need for traveling. I wouldn’t invest a lot of money in that bike, but it’ll give you a try, and if you like it, buy something even better.
