Everything...but the kitchen sink

This is everything that will accompany me on my trek across the Southern United States. Items included are tent, sleeping bag, sleeping pad, extra tire, extra tubes, tools, clothing, netbook, journal, camera, and various other small items needed to ensure a successful tour. All of these items are strategically packed and crammed in 2 sets of panniers.
The pack above the back tire holds all maintenance items for the bike as well as a small msr burner that can boil water and heat food.


The 2 sets of panniers attach to the front and back racks. The handle bar pack holds items that need to be accessed quickly. Getting items in and out of the panniers is a time consuming process. That task is reserved for only twice a day; once in the morning when packing up and then in the evening when settling in for the night. Both sets of panniers are weather proof.
