Sleeping

Tents

• Brett – Big Agnes Seedhouse SL 1

Cooking

• Before the trip we decided to not carry a stove/pots/fuel and forego one of our most despised duties – washing dishes. This cut down on our weight considerably.
• 3 Sporks
• MSR Pot holder – for placing and retrieving cans of food in the fire

Drinking

• MSR Miniworks filter
  
• Potable Aqua water purification pills for backup
• Water Bottles – we each had several bottles, kept in cages on our bikes. We felt bottles were a more comfortable option than wearing hydration packs all day for two months.
• Bladders – for the long waterless stretches we carried 3 dromedary bags. Lightweight and extremely packable, our bladders could hold an extra 13L+ of water when we needed it. We used a variety of MSR Hydration bags.
• Aluminum/Steel bottles – Jeff and Brett carried .6L metal bottles for keeping tequila, southern comfort and occasionally even some Ullr.

Bike Repair

• 2 extra skewers
• Tubes – some 29er, some 26″ to fit Brett’s bike and Kelly and Jeff’s bikes/trailer
• Master-links – to fix broken chains
• Tire irons
• Patch kits – both standard tube patches and tire patches/plugs for Jeff and Kelly’s tubeless tires
• Multi-tools – we each had one
• Allen tool – with a wider variety of Allen wrench sizes
• Adjustable wrench
• Leatherman – with needle-nose pliers
• Cables – we carried both rear brake and rear derailleur cables
• Pump
• CO2 pump – mostly as a backup, though we resorted to it near the end of the trip for speed reasons
• Twisty-ties
• Duct Tape
• Nuts/bolts – a variety of nuts and bolts to fix common bike problems

Miscellaneous

• Pacific Outdoor 7×9 Tarp (for quick shelter from afternoon storms, covering bikes, etc)
