I admit it: I've never camped before. At the same time, a longer alpine tour is being prepared at a very early stage and camping is an option. This weekend there was a great opportunity to find answers to the questions:



1. How suitable for touring is the Brompton's pocket configuration?



2. Where are the… Leer más

Take a look at a saddlebag (ass rocket) as an option. Is there from Ortlieb, Apidura etc. Here we have it on various pictures: komoot.de/tour/264502311



Also interesting: the Main Frame Hugger from Eerder Metal from Holland, I also have it with me and should also be used for the upcoming summer tour (if… Leer más

And one more thing, they give a maximum weight of 10kg for the front carrier, but you can load it a few kilos more, now not that much, but 2-3 should not be a problem.

Thanks for the comments. I had already thought of such an ass rocket and I had already made a note of the mainframe hugger in case I couldn't find an acceptable tent that packed shorter than 40 cm. However, I found that and with that I lost sight of something.



Unfortunately, I belong to the group that… Leer más

I use a summer sleeping bag from Yeti with a down filling on my randonneur. Pack size approx. 25x 20cm, 900g. Thermarest has a sleeping mat that can be folded lengthways with a weight of 680g, pack size approx.

And are you satisfied with it?

Even at the risk of getting the biggest shit storm of all Komoot times: do you need a Brompton gene to accept the disadvantages of the system and to look for solutions that you would not have with a trekking bike? 😬😬😬. Not meant badly, I really care. ☺️

I can recommend the Ortlieb saddle bag. An average sleeping bag will definitely fit into the medium size. The bag has a vent valve, so the whole thing can be compressed properly. You can also attach a few little things on top of the bag. I can also recommend the foldable Thermarest sleeping mat. Before… Leer más

Another thing about the sleeping bag: There are sleeping bag inlays made of cotton. They are light and thin and can also be sufficient on warm summer nights ...

@Stefan: yes, absolutely with the sleeping bag. The sleeping mat is only about 26mm. After a certain age this is no longer so comfortable; Still good compared to a 12mm foam mat 30 years ago 😄

@ Kernholz: You ask the question of meaning and not wrongly. The joke about the Brompton solution, however, is the more flexible mobility option: There is no worry about missing or occupied bike spaces on trains, the flexibility to be able to spontaneously cancel / change a tour at any time and, if in… Leer más

There is almost nothing to add, except maybe the "fun" factor ;-)
