The new saddle bag works a charm and fits the food nicely!
Carrots, cabbage, onions and garlic. Salt & pepper, a few spices and some soup stock. A cutting board, knife, all the usual utensils. A front pocket for a few pieces of fruit and the like. Olive oil, vinegar and maple syrup. A small cooler bag for yogourt, cheese and milk; 3 days expiry, unrefridgerated.
That’s about all this new sack will carry. Everything is easily accessible though, which is going to make things a lot easier in stressful situations when ya just wanna get something on the go as quickly as possible. When the mosquitos are bad, for instance. Super stoked on this new setup! Best it’s been, to date.
I have a container for a dozen eggs, too. Really though I want a container for only 6 eggs, to save on space. I only need 6 eggs at a time.
Carried in the 2nd saddlebag, I have 2 stoves; one runs off a canister of isobutane; the other, is a methyl alcohol stove. A nice set of pots, with a couple of bowls and measuring cups. Alongside all of that with a bag of oats, hemp seeds, chia seeds, lentils and quinoa.
A few litres of water, stashed away.
I can go days at a time without going to the store. If I can quickly grab a head of lettuce and a tomato in my travels, I pretty much already have everything I need for a quick salad. Nutritious grains for days, too. Tea and coffee. Just need to grab some yogourt and milk on the road, here and there.
What else am I packing? A portable chair, a tent, sleeping bag, pillow, this computer and some clothes in a backpack. A deck of cards and a jar of herb. It all packs up onto the bicycle rack; getting pretty close to it, anyway.
