When the weather breaks here I'm going to try on my stock tires. Worst that can happen is I have to put tubes backIm 1/2 tempted to try tubeless but Im just not sold on the "home kits" yet. I did it on my bikepacking bike and it worked fine but for some reason I just worry about doing it on my Trail 125. Also if I do it now the tires would still need replaced at the start of the trail.
What is the bug pressure going to be like? Will a bivy and tarp work for camping or will a full tent be needed?
I get a little clostrophobic in a bivy sometimes, cannot stand a tight mummy bag eitherI currently have a Borah Gear Cuben Bivy. Its about 4.5oz and has netting for your head and to help with condensation. Here is a link to their site if you are not familiar with them.

I was thinking about mounting my 1.1gal Rotopax for spare fuel. That would basically double the fuel range. However now Im thinking that maybe just a 30oz MSR bottle might be enough. According to what Im seeing online we should average about 1 mile per oz of fuel. If that holds true then the 30oz MSR bottle would give a 30 mile back up.
What are you guys doing for spare / extra fuel? How far apart are the fuel stops on the CDT?
I received my other tire today, so the only thing I'm waiting on is a small container or tire lube, so here is my tire kit with a few chain tools included, I only have 2 spoons but I plan on using cable tys once I break the bead. Which I will be bringing a large quantity of btw. I'm thinking of mounting the pump on the lid? But I'm worried about damaging it if I lay the bike down as this will be mounted on the front rack, so the pump may go elsewhere. What am I missing?
