do most folks still find the attached as still being accurate?

kiwidave,

awesome.  exactly what i needed.  really appreciate the input.  so much more solid than a "google it" type reply.

fyi, a couple years ago, i finished a 5.5 year world bike ride yanking a trailer.  i began in vanuatu.  assuming, perhaps wrongly, you're from new z, it was a highlight of my trip.  not only for the beauty.  but, i mean, are there any mean people there?

so yes, i've got experience on riding in all sorts of kazakhstan and cambodian conditions and and waking up with guns on me and all the "heroic" stories.  and of course i'm currently riding.  ~275 miles per week and running ~20 miles per week and yoga every evening and lifting weights and blah blah.  so i get that.  but.  i'm an ignoramus when it comes to tech stuff.  i don't even have a cell phone.  hence my questions.

anyhow, money answer buddy.  gracias.

what gps/mounting system would you get?

what bivy would you buy?

what would you splurge on in terms of gear in order to make you the most competitive?

thanks for your replies.  does anyone have any practical answers to the questions?  that would be much appreciated!

thanks,

would it be foolhardy to do this with no gps?  i hate gadgets.  i hate seeing thing like "7% power" and worrying about it.
