Ok, Ok. I have booze, drugs, an old HGV tarp and a selection of eye watering early 80's porno mags.

What else do I need......

We carry one of these when we head out only for a night or two, not travelling too far.

We are lucky in the Highlands as we have a plethora of bothies too. Often the tent stays folded up.

I'd take a shelter top (like a big waterproof sheet) and a Gore-Tex bivvy bag and sleep mat. You can prop your bike against a wall, fence, post etc; and run the shelter top off it, and sleep under it in the bivvy bag. Always worked for me. Very lightweight solution.

Re: Retro MTB Touring.

Personally, I prefer a tiny tent to a bivvy bag - a Jack Wolfskin Gossamer is just on the tent side of a bivvy and around £80. For one night I'd take some basic dried food with a single pan and camping Gaz burner like a Twister Plus with smallest gas cartridge (half the size of the one pictured).

Trangia pan system is much better for a longer tour though. Rubbish photo attached...

Great design but a little too expensive for me, thanks for posting the link though. Great to see a tent which used a bike as part of it's design, not for those who may want to use it walking however.

Is that not going to fill the disc calipers with mud?
