While we’re waiting for the world to get back to normal and the pandemic to go away, many of us have found a new way to get out of the house. Exploring nature around the place you live can be really fun, and if you do it on a bikeā€”it gets even better.

Bikepacking is the latest trend in nature travel, and we can absolutely see why. Fall is the perfect time to ride a bike, as it’s finally not too hot anymore, and it allows you to reach further distances than walking. Grab your favorite backpack, pack the essentials, and go on an adventure!

What should you pack? Your packing list will be different depending on whether you plan to come back the same day or want to sleep outside. In case you’re going for a weekend adventure, you’re going to need a small tent, more food and water, and an optional change of clothes. Watch the weather forecast and pack an umbrella or a raincoat if needed. A first aid kit and basic supplies for fixing your bike on the go are a must, too!
