I'm sure you've considered it, but when bikepacking, I always carry a small water filter (Katadyn, Sawyer) just in case there's a dodgy source in an emergency

Agree. If not a filter, then purification tablets take almost no space. Also good for any trip to a country, where you can find pathogens that you're not used to.

I really enjoy the content and have for years now. Honest question though, isn't this bike touring rather than bikepacking? In my head, bikepacking means carrying sleeping bags, tents, etc. And bikepacking would lean more towards trails and the backcountry. This trip seems like it should be referred to as bike touring, which is still great!
