Any bikepackers? I have done a few small, trips less than 4 days, but would like to go longer and maybe bring some others along with me if I can convince them. Any tips or experience bringing enlightenment for going on longer trips?

I don't have any real advice but I just went on my first trip last week! It was so fun and challenging, albeit it was all road riding so technically not "bikepacking". I'd love to hear about some of your trips!

If you search all communities there is a bikepacking specific one, I forgot which instance it is, though.

The GAP/C&O Towpath from Pittsburgh to DC is a great way to get your feet wet. Heck, even the C&O by itself, from Cumberland MD to Georgetown, is a really nice intro.
