We don't tend to think about how we pack our bags when going on a trip, but if you're bikepacking it's absolutely vital that all the bags on your bike are packed correctly. Josh runs through his top tips for packing when going bikepacking.

Once you've decided on what kit you need to bring with you on your bikepacking trip, you'll need to have a proper think about the order and placement of all your things on your bike. If the weight isn't distributed correctly your bikes handling can be quite considerably affected. For example you want your heaviest items to go in a frame bag as the weight is the most central, and the lowest possible on the bike.
