The hammock and tarp along with the stakes weigh in at only 2 1/2 pounds. They have a Trekking Treez option that is basically a collapsible carbon fibre trekking pole, but it still weighs in at around 2 1/2 pounds. Using the bike takes nothing more than the extra stakes, I already take tie down straps.

I hope you're able to get out and enjoy a trip soon. If the campgrounds don't open up soon, you could always try dispersed camping!
Here is the bike now. Bags are much better and ride extremely well
