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.
