Bikepacking Essentials
Here is a list of essential bikepacking bags and more! This is a great start to get you going on your first bikepacking trip.

- Seat Pack – Blackburn’s product is nice because you can leave the cradle attached to the bike and remove only the dry bag. You can pick one up here! Check it Out!
- Handlebar Bag – Another Blackburn product which the bag is separate from the cradle. You can also strap things on the outside with the webbing loops! Check it Out!
- Frame bags – This is the elite version which has more features and additional mounting attachments for your frame. That helps to distribute the weight more evenly and secure the bag better. Check it Out!
- The basic version is nice because you can zip it to a partial frame bag or unzip it to the larger version if you need it. It’s also a heck of a lot cheaper! Check it Out!
- Top Tube Bag – This does have one annoying issue for the OCD types. The bag will usually lean to one side or the other because the attachment point around the stem doesn’t have much for lateral support! Other than that it’s built well and has handled the job for me for a few years now. Check it Out!
- Versacage – useful when needing to mount items on your fork. You can connect the to existing 3 pack mounts or use the include brackets which attach to virtually any fork or round object! Check it Out!
- Handlebar snack bag – can be used for water bottles, small tools, cameras etc! – Check it Out!
- Different sized drybags to store your gear in – Check it Out!
- Multi tool with chain tool – Check it Out!
- Small bicycle pump – Check it Out!
Off Road Essentials
Amazon Affiliate Links – As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. I get commissions for purchases made through links in this post.
- Compressor – The best money can by as far as I’m concerned. Great for filling up tires after you finish the trail! ARB Check it Out!
- NOCO Boost Jump starter and lithium battery pack. Don’t leave home without a way to jumpstart your own vehicle. You may not have anyone else around! – Check it Out!
- Recovery tree saver strap, d rings, and snatch block set – This is the bare minimum you’ll want to have assuming you have a winch. Check it Out!
- Manual Winch – This is an emergency recovery option if you don’t have a power winch. It ain’t gonna be pretty but it might be better than being stuck in a ditch somewhere – Check it Out!
- Heavy duty short handled shovel – Check it Out!
- Leatherman Wingman – The best multi tool! Literally you should never leave home without this attached to your person – Check it Out!
- Traction Mats – No they aren’t maxx traxx. While I love the Maxx Traxx product they are expensive and hard to carry. If you’re not big into overlanding or 4×4 then it may be too much, but in a pinch these should get you going down the road – Check it Out!
- Dewalt Mechanics Set – While a complete toolbox isn’t necessary, having an assortment of misc tools can really save you! Check it Out!
- Jack – Not a hi lift jack! Hi Lifts are awkward, heavy, and hard to use. Get a bottle jack instead. Will it do everything a hi lift does? No…but it does things a hi lift cannot! Check it Out!
- Work Gloves – affordable and easy to carry. Check it Out!
- Headlamp – Handheld flashlights are difficult to use when you need your…hands! I prefer a headlamp with user replaceable batteries instead of rechargeables. This is a two pack! Check it Out!
- Tire repair kit – these plugs are great temp fixes to get you off the trail – Check it Out!
- Handheld radio – You’ll need this if you’re going in a group. It’s impossible to yell between trucks! I included a basic version and a package with rechargeable batteries and a head piece. Basic – Check it Out! Package – Check it Out!
- Recovery strap kit – I recommend buying two. That gives you 60 feet of tow line and if you lose or break one you have a second. It’s also got it’s own bag and a d ring too! You can never have too many straps or d rings. Check it Out!
