VERSION 2: LIGHT (FOR PRINTING)

Inside your download

  • The complete 5-Piece Kit System (Ride / Body / Recovery / Repair / Admin)
  • A clear checklist of the few items that solve the most problems
  • Dark version for screens + light version for printing
  • A reusable packing framework you can apply to any self-supported ride

How to use it

  • Do a quick gear dump (lay everything out)
  • Sort items into the 5 systems
  • If an item doesn’t belong in a system, it doesn’t come
  • Fix the gaps first (missing essentials), then cut the excess (the “just in case” pile)

The goal isn’t perfect minimalism. It’s calm execution.

Who this is for

  • You’re building your first self-supported setup (or rebuilding after overpacking once)
  • You want a system, not a massive gear list
  • You want to feel confident that you’re covered—without hauling a prison on wheels

Not for you if

  • You already have a dialed kit you’ve validated over multiple long events.
  • You’re looking for brand recommendations, shopping links, or a “buy this exact stuff” list.
