Boya Microphone
Lapel Mic with Condenser
I use the Boya clip-on lapel video microphone. It's super tough, affordable, omnidirectional and includes a built-n condenser.
fly more combo
With an 8MP Camera and 4K Video capability, plus 8K Hyperlapse... this is a small but powerful drone. It has some great automatic functions too.
Salewa micro 600
Sleeping Bag
This bag weighs 700g and it's made of brushed polyester. A bonus is the extra space for big feet! I purchased a bag rated for mild weather because the liner I chose provides the boost for cold climates.
Salewa MICRA II
Tent
This is a 2-person, 3-season, double wall dome tent for hiking and cycling trips. It fits really well in a Ortlieb Rear Pannier.
Salewa Microfleece Liner
Sleeping Bag Liner
This liner weighs 670g and it's made of polyester microfleece. If you're going to a hot climate, it's all you need to take. If you're going to a super cold place, it'll lift the rating of your sleeping bag and keep you toasty warm!
Ortleib Back-Roller Classic
Pannier
I go for the "PLEASE DON'T HIT ME WITH YOUR VEHICLE" safety yellow option. LOL Also, yellow is beautiful! These bags have a cult following in the cycle touring community for good reason.
Ortleib Ultimate Six Classic
Waterproof Handlebar Bag
Waterproof. Lockable. All your essentials within easy reach. What's not to love? Oh, and it's easy to take off the bike and sling the strap over your shoulder. There's a handy transparent flap compartment in the lid for navigation.
Ortleib Rack Pack
Rack Pack
This 100% waterproof travel bag has all the advantages of an easy to use dry bag. It also clips securely onto the rear panniers, sitting snug and secure. BUT if I could do my time again, I'd get 2 small front panniers instead.
Video Editing Laptop
This laptop is heavy, but seems to run my video editing software ok. My old laptop died while we were bikepacking in Salamanca, Spain in early 2022. This was what we could get in store in a hurry!

Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark III
Classic Vlogger Camera
The skin-smoothing filter on this camera is exceptional! I don't like to carry too much gear, but this is worth the weight.
P1.18 Touring Bicycle
We've committed to new pinion P1.18 touring bikes! These will be the one that goes all the way across Europe, and will be forever-bikes to keep. We'll have matching bikes. Charlie is getting a traditional diamond frame and I'm getting the step through edition. Most people say we should have got the Silk Road, but they don't have a step through for me.
Schwalbe Marathon Almotion
Schwalbe
Charlie is encouraging me to convert to this state of the art touring tire. They're tubeless but you can also run them with tubes. The deal is that he has to patch and pump up the tyres forever if I'll give up my Tannus tires.
Hot Take
Portland Design Works
I'm trying to decide on a handlebar drink holder. I never feel safe reaching down to a bottle cage while I'm riding. It's especially unnerving when there's traffic passing. Backpack systems aren't comfortable for every day wear.

Esmaltina
Bikepacking MTB Bike
Since 1970, Esmaltina has been manufacturing high precision bikes in Portugal for the global market. I purchased a Lisbon World Bike Tour special edition. I gave it to a Warm Showers host in Malaga after bikepacking in Nerja, Spain.
