Im planning a 5-6 day 500km trip to Montreal from Toronto. The terrain is pretty flat so I don’t have to worry about that. That being said, I need advice on what to buy. I want to keep it as lightweight as possible and im not sure what to buy in order to do that. Should I buy a saddle bag instead of a rear rack? Should I get a front rack or a bag that goes between the handle bars? I dont really know how im going to distribute all my camping gear and stuff.
I just need advice on bike related stuff as I already have UL camping gear like a tent, stove, soon to buy sleeping bag…

You won’t get racks on this without some serious bodging, which is a bad idea for something liable to cause injury.
You’ll want bike packing gear, like frame bags, saddlebags and such.
