You have rope to hoist the stuff into the air at night, but do you have a small dry bag or small plastic sandwich bags to put the food/leftovers into to prevent smell?
Also recommend a small lighter. It is amazing.
Are your lights the USB rechargeable or battery powered? I recommend battery power over USB for long tours. When it gets dark, nothing is worse then discovering your lights don't have enough charge. Just always have extra batteries on hand.
For food it's whatever I can find at grocery stores along the way. I plan on cooking most of the time and probably won't do freeze dried prepared meals due to budget restraints. For a storage system I was planning on a beer canister, but now I'm looking into hanging options from Zpacks.
Thanks. I forgot to list the lighter.
My bike lights are USB, my headtorch is AAA, and my Quark Pro take CR123A. I plan to use my solar panel/battery to charge both the USB's and AAA (as well as have a few spares on hand). The Quark Pro won't need replacement batteries for the tour.
