Thank you so much, your post is very thorough and insightful! I will take a lot away from that, I really wish I could pack that lightly as well and I'm going to try my best.
As to your questions: I've got a kindle and a couple cables stored in my laptop sleeve and I'm using a handlebar bag with phone holder where I keep my phone, charger, powerbank, hand sanitizer, face mask and wallet. Why are you suggesting a larger pump? Aren't we aiming for small packing volume? Will I struggle to get correct pressure in my wheels with the small pump? Thanks again!
EDIT: Looking at the Esbit stove right now, looks very convenient and super cheap, too. Which one are you using exactly? How difficult is it to buy fuel tablets on the road? How much fuel do you go through per day? I'm looking at the Esbit Pocket Stove right now and I'm worried whether the performance will be sufficient for regular cooking without going through lots of fuel tablets.
Also, how's the Thermacell? Does it actually keep you mozzy bite free?
