Hello! Any other bikepackers hang here?

Hi folks,

Finally registered and thought I'd introduce myself. Got into hammocking when I started doing a few backcountry bikepacking trips in the BC Rockies. The light weight, packability and comfort after a day in the saddle all led me to invest in a Hennessey hammock.

Any other bikepackers out here?

Cheers,

Coach

Folder to ease all the searching you'll have to do to find all the stuff that is spread out.
You will find quite a few of us have bikecamped and used a hammock along the way.
Anyway welcome to the forum. It is a good one.

Thanks for the welcome. Good to see some other bikers here. Looking forward to exploring the site a bit. Here's a shot of my rig from my first bikepacking trip:

Very nice bike you have!

And I think to try some bikepacking on.. Brompton folding bike. :-)

Not really bike packing, more bike touring or car camping with the bike replacing the car, but yes...I camp from a bike. Reasonably frequently. Of course, my bike would make anyone trying to ride singletrack...or cover big miles...or be a weight weenie...cringe...
