Or (as round the world tourers used to do) thread the (longer) bolts in backwards so the head is on the inside of the frame then get a nyloc nut on the outside to clamp it all together. Means you won’t lose a bolt, and if in the worst case it shears off you can still get the bolt out and replace it as the head is on the inside attached to the frame and not lying in the dirt 👍
Looks like a fantastic trip, and great photos to boot
