Have just finished packing for my next trip and there was a huge difference in the amount of luggage compared to last time, but essentially I need to do the same things: ride, stay warm, stay dry, brush my teeth, eat sleep and fix the bike as required.
First trip I took some H&B Gobi panniers, and an ortlieb roll bag and picked up a camel bag (as in a bag made to go over a camel, not the water carrier thingy)
This time it all fitted in a single top box and took an hour to pack, get in!
Admittedly I was going a lot further last time but have just found a bag full of clutch plates, cable etc that I never used (plus I took enough tools to do a full strip and rebuild, E&C style! This time I'm taking a spare chain and sprockets, an air filter, an oil filter and spare cables. Job done.
