718 Outdoors

2025 Tour and Micro-Tour Registration Opens January 3rd

Founded in 2008, 718 Outdoors was into Bikepacking before "Bikepacking" was a word. Our expertise, passion for community and inclusive nature is unmatched. We lead trips, curate self-guided trips, host events and classes, and have an Online Store filled with gear that I use. (please note retail location closed as of 1/1/25)

Joe's Essentials

This is a collection of things that I wouldn't be caught without on any of our Bike Camping trips.  I have led over 125 group Bike Camping trips, and have developed an affinity for things that just work.

The list may grow or shrink, but will always contain items that have been tested on many, many bike camping trips. Every one of these items is packed in my bags on every trip I go on.
