How to Read This List

Each item is scored on four factors: Time Criticality (how quickly you need it), Consequence (impact if you don't have it), Weight (how much it impacts mobility), and Multi-use (versatility). Higher scores (T1) mean the item should be immediately accessible.

For me everything must be weatherproof at highway speeds, when total capacity is limited to what a Versys X 300 can carry, when items must be both accessible and waterproof, when creative tools need to coexist with survival gear. This requires thinking about every ounce deeply. I am really proud of this system, ever-evolving as I test and push it to new limits.

The system currently manifests across a few primary containers 0.0oz 0.0lb0.0kg:

Whether you ride or not, the principles here apply to anyone interested in maintaining multiple capabilities within strict constraints.

Access Tiers

T₁ on-person35–47.5
Critical gear requiring immediate access. Typically carried on body or in immediately accessible locations. response time: < 5 seconds
T₂ vehicle/pack25–34.5
Support gear stored in vehicle or pack. Important but not time-critical access requirements. response time: < 5 minutes
T₃ base cache< 25
Auxiliary gear stored at base location. Occasional access needs with planned retrieval. response time: < 24 hours
