Hi folks, I’ve typically used my backpacking tent for bikepacking bc it’s very light, and super solid tent. Poles are long, but other than that it’s pretty great

I’m looking at adding a couple of more bikepacking specific tents in the future (shorter poles). Namely the Escapist from Sea to Summit, both the stand alone tarp and bug shelter to be used independently and one other S2S tent that’s heavier for fall camps

Does anyone have a particular favorite bikepacking tent they use and want to share why? No wrong answers.

*My backpacking tent is around two pounds, and I think the escapist setup is similar, but typical bikepacking specific tents look to be more commonly between 3 and 6 lbs. I also like the idea of gear lofts, adaptable flys for wet vs dry camping and quick pitch.. any other gear nerdy features you want to share

Thanks fam!

Hey folks, I’m on the hunt for dried coffee that can mix in with hot water on the trail. Usually there’s the occasional offerings by local roasters, and if you’ve come across some, especially in SE Portland, I’d appreciate the share!

I am familiar with instant coffee and have used the stuff in the past.. but I also know there’s some wonderful flavor in certain types of dried coffee that’s a little less common to come across

Hey folks! I'm swapping from mechanical to hydraulic brakes, and was hoping to borrow someone's bleed kit for a Shimano setup. Should have the gravity cup that sits on the levers.

Would be looking to install this week, preferably within the next couple of days. Thanks in advance!

Any fellow gardeners in Richmond have some bark chips at theirs? I literally need just a bucket, maybe two, to use in very select areas.

If you have a free dump of those in your driveway or at your curb, that would be perfect! Thanks in advance.

Hey folks, looking for a muscle hook to relieve some recurring sore back and shoulder muscles. Including a picture for reference in case yours goes by a different name. Don't need a bunch of nifty features either, just the hook alone would be wonderful! Thank you ❤️
