The quest for “Rackless Carry Systems”
for my lightweight bikepacking setup continues...
I’ve been working on a prototype Handlebar Harness to carry my bikepacking gear,
particularly the jungle hammock/sleeping kit. The handlebar harness has been
out for testing, and so far it has held up pretty well.
The sleeping kit stored comfortably under the handlebar with minimal
interference to the cables.
The design is simple, super easy to make and very versatile.
Tent, sleeping bag, dry bag and even a plastic candy jar can be strapped and used
at different time or trip. The velcro (to stem) and reusable cable ties (to handlebar)
offer clean and quick setup or release.
I like gear with multiple uses. It helps to cut down on the weight and
add more smiles on the face.
So, why this hammock?
It's light, cheap, practical and i still haven't found a reason not to use it.
Hammock and tarp also touted as the best shelter system to use in the jungle.
This hammock can also be used on the ground if i choose to spend
the night on the beach or somewhere flat. No boundaries, the sky's the limit.
My "all terrain" sleeping kit setups provide more campsite options.
On flat ground, on a hillside, or even over a river.
There is always a good place to sleep at the end of a ride.
