Anyone else in the group actively going or want to go bikepacking? I like mountain biking, camping, and not carrying anything on my back or walking long distances, so I'm jumping on the bandwagon. The potential for isolation when you run out of gravel or dirt to drive on and then can bike into places much further than anyone can walk in is also appealing.
Plus, this looks neat:

I have not tried this yet, Scott. But I have been talking about resurrecting my Canondale Delta V 700.... :-)
