Thought Id share my kit as of now for the 2019 Gunny Loopy Loop, Biggie Loop. I might tweak a few things over the next couple weeks, but most of whats shown will be part of what keeps me hydrated, fed, warm-ish, and dry. I’ll go over a few things but if there’s questions please let me know.
Bike: Waltworks steel hardtail. Currently single speed, decided to go easy with a 28×21. 130mm Yari Fork, Guide Brakes, 150mm eVERB dropper, Ergon Saddle, carbon rims with 29×2.7 tires, Custom TI Cycles Bars, All the Grips, Bar Ends and all that uncool stuff.
Bags: Homemade Front Bag, Partial Frame Bag, Down Tube Bags, Stem Bag, with a couple of small bits that I found useful. I might add a feed bag, if it gets colder, or if I’m really hungry….
Hydration: 1/.75L and 2/.65L bottles, Katadyn BeFree Filter.
Clothing: Black Diamond Rainshell, Salomon Knickers, Long Sleeve Wool T, extra wool socks, windproof fleece gloves, puffy vest, wind shell, headband, buff.

Hygene: Sunscreen, Toothbrush/Paste, Handy Wipes, Butt Whips, Chamois Cream, Neosprin, Aleeve.
Bike stuff: 2/29er tubes, Hero Kit Multitool, Dynaplug kit, Lezyne Pump, C02/Head, Micro Leatherman, 2/Tire Levers, Chain Bits, 2/Master Links, Extra Brake Pads/Spring/Pin, Cleat Bolt, Valve Core, Lube n Rag, Zip Ties/Few Extra Spokes/Nips in Handlebar. (If I go gears I will add the Wolf Tooth Masterlink Plier/Tool.)

Etrex 20/ 2 extra AA batteries, cache battery/cord for my crappy phone.
Micro First Aid Kit/Fire Starter Kit, Back Up Water Tabs.
Plus: clothing worn, shoes, helmet, gloves, sunnies.
Think that is all. It is very similar to what I’ve been carrying over the years. I sometimes add and subtract a few things, but this is a good representation of my core kit. I don’t plan on sleeping all that much, 1.5-3 hours a day, and I run pretty warm. I Did Not put this together only based on weight or space, but knowing what I can handle over lots of trail and error. I might add a bit more warm stuff if we get a cold snap in the next couple weeks, otherwise, Loopy Loop here I come!!!
