What’s NOT Included
Planning. This book will help somewhat with planning because you’ll learn what to expect while bikepacking, but it’s mostly about helping you once you’re on the road.

For help with itinerary design, gear checklists, bike prep, and other pre-trip topics, see the Bikepacking Trip Planner Workbook. It’s an excellent complement to the Bikepacker’s Pocket Companion for newer riders. If you buy both together, use discount code GOBIKEPACK at checkout for $2 off.

The Bikepacker’s Companion eBook is for you if:

• You’re new to bikepacking and excited to get started, but want help learning the basics.

• You’re already into bikepacking but still value a handy reference guide, because you know there’s always a new surprise around the corner…

You can do it! You are capable and qualified. Bikepacking is not rocket science. And the Bikepacker’s Pocket Companion is here for you, just in case.
