Trash bags and ropes to get the job done. Bikepacked 4 days within Pisgah National Forest and it was magical. Next time I’ll opt for easier trails because the black diamond trails were treacherous to do fully loaded.
I did this adventure last year during Fall. It was my first time bikepacking ever and needless to say it was hard, I was hungry, I smelled like wet dog, I was cold, and to top it off it rained one night and the water sipped through my tent and got everything wet but I was able to maintain myself a bit dry using my poncho. Lesson learned, make sure to test the waterproofing on your tent before embarking on a backpacking trip because when you’re cold, wet, and deep in the forest alone no one can come rescue you. Overall I came out a mentally stronger person and with great memories. Definitely will continue venturing out like this.

Good job getting out! Sounds like a hell of an adventure
It’s not crappy as long as it’s take you on adventures
