hello, congratulations for the undertaking, for the story and for the wonderful images. How did you do with the luggage? I see a handlebar bag appear and disappear in the video. What did you bring with you? I imagine you will have had at least one change of clothes, a rain jacket and a thermal jacket. Congratulations again

Thank you .  I added an handlebar packing for the Balkans with a tent inside. I was afraid to find no shelter in the mountains.  For more details, see the pinkbike article there, I copied innthe comment my packing check list. https://m.pinkbike.com/news/video-and-photo-story-from-monaco-to-kosovo-127-days-of-riding-in-via-alpinarica.html

I had some space to store 3 days max of food autonomy(1:3 of my bag volume), usually high calories density food: nuts, dried fruits, chocolate, cakes, sweets, tuna... bought in small village groceries. I knocked at almost all crossed farmhouse to buy cheese, I ate tens of kilograms of cheese! I also slept at least once a week in some huts to charge my power bank, eat something warm and do the laundry. A few times I also beg to some very nice and supportive hikers. I was feared by deficiencies because my nutrition was not very healthy, so I ate a lot of plants I had learned to recognize.

Foods was the third concern, first was water, second was shelter, especially when the weather was bad.
