Bikepacking - a viable alternative to racks & panniers

Might be worth asking in any question asked topic for a wider audience.

But being a newish members, I'm sure you'll understand that people eer on the side of caution when it come to lending you a bicycle.

Saying that, check out the Jamis Satellite, their budget offering will do you well.

Thanks, I plan to post a real thread once my membership has been fully activated. I'm not interested in anything like the Jamis Satellite. I'm here trying to avoid renting something like a Trek roadbike.
