After the rack, I sort of went nuts adding lots of accessories, but trying to make sure I had all bases covered, in case we were camping and brought our bikes. I want my bike to be fully self sustainable no matter what emergencies arise.

1st Picture: I hooked an M249 ammo pouch to the handlebars, to hold my military issued mess kit (in case we want some hot stew or something out on a trail).

2nd Pic: Inside the deep "pot" of the mess kit, I have a combination cutlery tool, waterproof matches, a couple Bic lighters, ferro rod, various tinder to start fires, and some fat wood. I also have a small journal with pencil in a Ziploc, that slides into the ammo pouch behind the mess kit.

If you're wondering what that black tube is, it's a section of cable protector from my bike. I've used it to reignite coals in the morning after a fire. Or can be used as a straw I guess.

The green package next to the mess kit is a large military issue bandage, that can also be used as a sling in case someone breaks an arm or something.

3rd Picture: So on top of the handlebars, I made this little canvas pouch to accept an A.L.I.C.E. clip, and it is clipped around my brake lines. It holds extra metal tent stakes for my tent (more on that in a sec). They can also be used as weapons, for traps, or various other needs.

I added a folding side mirror to the left side handlebar, which lets me see cars behind me on the road. Can also be used for signaling in an emergency. Safety first!

The small square "US" pouch used to house the military bandage, but I have a small tube of sunscreen, a military lensatic compass, and a couple other small stuff tucked in there. Things you might need to get readily, but don't wanna dig around too much. Quite handy, being RIGHT there.

On the handlebars, you may notice the 2 upright "horn" looking thingies. Helps keep bike stable when its upside down (in case you need to do maintenance on the chain or something), help give you a different grip to really torque the bike for strenuous uphill climbs, and also they are hollow, which I have 2 thin glow sticks in each one. Can be used for signaling, or whatever.

4th Picture: On the left side of the bike frame, I added an M1 Carbine dual magazine pouch. I put a little plastic box, which fit PERFECTLY, in one section, and it houses Band-aids, mole skin, anti-septic and anti-bacterial wipes, and other stuff like that. In the other section, is a Ziploc baggie full of various medications like Tylenol, aspirin, and other assorted misc medical stuff like rubber gloves, non-lubricated condoms, etc... There is also a military whistle dangling from my handlebars on a short string. Will help for signaling in case of an emergency.

5th Picture: I strapped my Vietnam era Ka-Bar in a Kydex sheath to the right side of the top part of the frame. That knife has never let me down. It's also a very quick draw in case I have to use it for protection. I also slipped my Blackhawk Serpa holster for my handgun over the sheath, and the little "teeth" hold it perfectly, with just a little up-down motion, so I can quickly remove it, and put it on my belt or pant line if needed. My handgun is also camouflaged, and blends in PERFECTLY. You can't tell I have both a fighting knife, and a handgun ready for insanely fast access. I don't ride around the beaches with my handgun, in case you're wondering. Usually leave the knife at home too. So bike is legal. LOL.

6th Picture: Wrapped up inside a camo bandana, and tied off with paracord, is a 1 person tent that actually sleeps my girlfriend and I just fine! Super compact. Easy set up. And just a well built tent. Sorry, no pics of that though.

The next picture I have for reference, because I actually relocated the items since the pic were taken.

7th Picture: You can see an solid, 1 piece stainless steel water bottle, with a soup can on top, that I modified with bailing wire. Now I can store, and boil water to drink out on the trail! This has been relocated to where the next item is.

The little pouch on the down tube carries my tool kit. Everything I need, for every part of this bike, should I need to do field maintenance. I also have a Leatherman multi-tool in there (as seen sitting next to my mess kit). This has since been relocated to beneath the underside of my seat, where I also have a bug net to cover my head stuffed underneath.

The seat is also wrapped in a second camo bandana, and tied down with an extra set of hiking boot shoelaces. Can be seen in the title picture.
