Inspiring

I’m only at the start of my BP journey, so this book has given me a huge head start. I’m looking forward to dipping back in to ‘fact check’ my learning along the way, as my gear list grows ever longer, and my big trip next year grows ever closer!

Great resource

I really enjoyed the step by step discussion of specific parts and their pros and cons. With the amount of on/offroad kms driven on the equipment, and discussion of available parts internationally alone I feel the manual is well worth the purchase price. It’s given me the stoke to build a rig! Would love to see a table style format of the different bike set ups but it is covered in length throughout the 240 page manual.

About the Author & Editor

Mark Watson and Hana Black have been mountain biking and cycle touring for over 30 years. They bikepacked with homemade equipment long before the name became popular and have travelled by bike in 29 countries, as well as participated in many ultra distance cycling events and races, including Tour Aotearoa and Tour Te Waipounamu.

Both have a long association with the outdoor industry; Hana has worked in outdoor clothing and equipment design and development for over 25 years, while Mark has worked in soft goods manufacture and been a product reviewer, magazine editor, publisher, writer and photographer.

Bikes are not the only means by which Mark and Hana experience the outdoors and both have been climbing and tramping as long as they have been cyclists.

As well as being committed bikepackers they are also route developers, having contributed classic routes such as the Trans-Mexico and Camino del Puma (Perú). Their blog www.highlux.photo is a well known resource in the bikepacking community.

Their home base is Lyttelton, New Zealand.
