Our Gear List for the GNBR

Ever since our first cross Canada bike trip together, we've been downsizing our material possessions on a quest to 'own less, do more'. We currently live on our bikes full-time and house sit in between adventures.

This allows us a lot of freedom and flexibility to prioritize a life spent doing the things we love; adventuring, spending time in nature, exploring new places and meeting new people.

Along our unconventional, minimalist life path, we've come to really cherish the few things that we do own.

----
The gear list below is what we will be bringing with us on the Great Northern Bikepacking Route.
It has some new items, and some tried and true items.

We are excited to be testing out some new gear on the road, and will be doing 'gear review' reels along the way on our instagram page @trip.longer - join the fun!

Tthe hyperlinks below will take you to the products gear page. Some of these are affiliate links, which means that if you decide to buy some of the gear that we love and recommend, we receive some funds from your purchase.

Thanks for supporting awesome outdoor brands that make great gear, and for supporting adventurers like us who are blessed enough to get to test it out!
