Approximately three weeks ago, a friend of mine mentioned a concept to me which absolutely blew my mind. You've heard it, the "Led Zeplin sound" - you may not know the lyrics, or the name of the song. But you sure as hell know it's Led Zeplin.

This is tight but loose. Such an incredible postulation
Bike packing is the ultimate definition of "tight but loose". Since I had no idea what I was doing, this was an excellent way to throw a wrench into my perhaps complacent thinking/living tenancies.

Greatest thing about this trip was learning from each other. There was no time for ego, when we all need to get to the same place together in one piece. My (Dani) brain is a dump of not-so-existential epiphanies. So please see the following lessons and realizations around this newly acquainted (excellent) sport of bike packing:
