REAR RIGHT PANNIER – yes I have WAY too much ‘stuff’ but hey – it works…..currently

1) 10ltr water bag for when towns are more than a day away plus my MSR water purifier (can drink straight from a stream or water source or pump into a bottle – i’ve needed this when camping and questionable water source is only thing available and water is required due to distance to next town)

2) Tubes and spare tyre

3) Hard copy full contact list of my phone contacts just in case i smash my phone (im thinking of getting a spare phone maybe)

4) Clothesline cover with clothesline inside

5) Charging cables for all my devices plus batteries for various things plus iphone usb’s

All of this is not only for me but if i see anyone needing help also.
