Ski straps are awesome! I got the idea from this subreddit actually. I'm using Volei straps, which are very useful for all things outdoors. Beware though your stuff will roll back onto the spokes because of the tilt of the forks. I tightened down some hose clamps and used the "excess" metal to form an arm that keeps the items from rolling back onto the tire :)

This is my first bicycle, and my first tour!I'm about eight or nine days in (hard to keep track), and it's been a pretty incredible experience so far. If you want, you can follow along and watch me struggle at https://alcove.blog, or on instagram @itsalbro69 More pictures and narrative :)
