Need help organizing bikepacking bags – 3-day self-supported trip
Hey everyone! 👋
I'm heading out soon for my first 3-day bikepacking trip, going fully self-supported (camping, cooking, everything), and I’m a bit lost on how to organize my bags properly 😅
Here’s what I’m working with:
- 1 saddle bag
- 1 frame bag
- 1 handlebar bag
- 1 small top-tube bag
I’d love to know:
👉 How do you usually organize your gear across these bags?
What goes where for good balance and easy access?
Also, if you can share what you typically pack in the following categories, that would be amazing:
- 🏕️ Sleep & camp (tent, mat, sleeping bag, etc.)
- 🧼 Hygiene
- 🍳 Cooking & water (stove, pot, filter…)
- 👕 Riding clothes
- 🍫 Food & snacks
- 🛠️ Tools & repair kit
- 🔋 Electronics (power bank, lights, GPS…)
- 😴 Night clothes / comfort
If you’ve got any packing tips, hacks, or lessons learned the hard way, I’d really appreciate it!
Thanks so much 🙏
