Titanium Cooking Pot: Vargo BOT: https://bit.ly/45CwDsr'>https://bit.ly/45CwDsr
We never thought we'd get so excited about a cooking pot. It doubles as 1 L water storage with a secure screw on lid (making dinner water math easier), can be strapped on the down tube (or fits in an Arundel Looney Bin), and the lid flips over to become a cooking pot.

Peak Designs Out Front Bike Mount: https://peakdesign.pxf.io/GmKMdn
Why did we waste so much of our lives with Quadlock!? There's a magnet that attracts the phone case (below) so all you have to do is get your phone somewhere near the right place and it grabs it. No more fiddling! Then the mount locks with the case it's so strong I have picked up the whole front end of my bike with just the phone.

Needed for the Peak Designs mount, but also just nice cases.

Stem Bag: Swift Industries Sidekick: https://bit.ly/3VpOBuC
Doesn't suck like other stem pouches we've tried.

Ultralight Down Quilt: Katabatic Palisade 30*: https://bit.ly/40T1ezr
Y'all, this is the comfiest sleeping bag. Warm and the material is soft.
