Essential Packing Guide for Multi-Day Bikepacking in WA
One of the best things about bikepacking the Munda Biddi Trail is its simplicity — just you, your bike, and the path ahead. But pack poorly and even the most beautiful adventure can turn into a slog. Here’s your ultimate checklist and advice for what to pack for a multi-day bikepacking trip through Western Australia’s bushland, forests, and coast.
Must-Have Bikepacking Gear
- Bikepacking bags or panniers
(We recommend frame bags, seat pack, and handlebar roll to keep weight balanced. Check out our bikepacking bag hire.) - Lightweight tent, bivvy, or hammock
(Or you can sleep in the Munda Biddi huts if you don’t mind company.) - Sleeping bag and pad — rated for cool nights
- Water filtration system or tablets (rainwater needs to be purified)
- Bike repair kit: multitool, spare tubes, tyre levers, pump
- Lights & reflective gear for early mornings or emergencies
- Charging bank for electronics
Tips for Staying Light but Prepared
You’ll want to pack light — but not reckless. Every gram counts when you’re climbing hills for hours.
✅ Invest in compact, multi-use items (e.g. down jacket that doubles as pillow)
✅ Leave the “just-in-case” items at home unless critical
✅ Pre-plan resupply points so you carry less food and water at once
Food, Water & Safety
You burn thousands of calories per day riding — so keep eating!
- High-energy, non-perishable snacks (nuts, dried fruit, bars, jerky)
- Easy-to-cook meals (dehydrated meals, instant oats, noodles)
- Minimum 4 litres of water per day; carry more on hot stretches
- Purify water even from tanks — boil, filter, or use tablets
- Check bushfire warnings daily & carry a basic first aid kit
Clothing for WA Weather
Weather can swing from blazing sun to cold and wet within a day.
✅ Lightweight base layers (moisture-wicking)
✅ Mid-layer for warmth (fleece or down)
✅ Waterproof jacket & gloves
✅ Sun protection: hat, sunglasses, sunscreen
✅ Padded shorts & gloves for comfort
