Bikepacking on the winter solstice

Getting started with bikepacking can seem daunting, but it's actually much easier than most people think, and in this short film, I take out a friend on her first ever bikepacking trip in an effort to prove it. This video will show you how to go on your first bikepacking overnighter, give you an idea of the equipment I like to carry for an overnighter, explain the basics of how to wild camp, and above all, demonstrate that bikepacking doesn't have to be complicated. All you really need is a bike and the motivation to get out and explore.
