@ai6yr asks:

Q5. I haven't done any bikepacking, but I am interested in seeing how people pack things they are bikepacking with (ie, what gear goes where, what kind of bags are necessary, etc.).

Any neat photos of your bikepacking setup and/or places I ought to look?

@ascentale @ai6yr @bikenite #bikenite A5: I'm yet to do much travelling on the pushbike but I did a lot on motorcycles and my #1 bit of advice is ... well #1 is "if it can do 2 jobs its worth twice the weight" but #2 is to plan out what goes in which pannier and stick with it, that way you're not constantly rooting through your camp stuff looking for daytime stuff etc.

My "system" is to keep during-the-day stuff on one side and camping-the-night stuff on the other, with the mnemonic "do we have any snacks _left_? vs. is this the _right_ place to camp?"

Riffing on the doing 2 jobs well thing:
If you have panniers, you can also use them to do the shopping.
