My one bag at home experiment preparations so far yields 2 things a must-have:

For laundry in hostels, I just found a time when most people were out and about (or not using bathrooms) and washed my clothes in the sink. Some travel laundry soap and a little rubber sink stopper came in handy. Then ring them out, roll them up in a towel to get them a bit more dry, then I hung them over/near my bunk using this thing. Cheers!

> Desperate individuals and crackheads are going to shrug off pepper spray.
Can confirm. However, the initial shock of it is debilitating enough, if you're fast, it gives you an advantage for follow-up attack with another weapon. Police are trained to spray, then INSTANTLY follow with baton strikes to the big thigh muscles for maximum debilitation, with minimal risk of breaking bones or causing other serious injury. This is my technique too. Only people loaded up on drugs can shrug off that amount of pain, and then you need to either retreat or do significantly more harm.
Never strike the head, neck, or shoulders with a club weapon. Even with no visible injury, it is unacceptably likely to kill or severely injure them. If you have to do more harm to stop an attacker, aim for the knees, arms, hands, hips, etc. If they're armed, or otherwise obviously intend to do you harm (as opposed to just steal something), then you're wisest course of action is to run. If you're too close to run or you're protecting your family, go for the head, and stop the attack immediately, but understand one or both of you are probably going to die.
Oh, and get yourself some GOOD pepper spray, and keep it in your hand so you're extremely fast with it:
Use a coil keychain lanyard to prevent losing it after dropping it, which you will need to do when you switch to the baton or club weapon for the follow-up deterrence strikes to fully defeat the attacker:
Remember, if you need it, you need it fast. Don't put it in a bag, case, or holder you have to open and fish around to find it. Ideally, you want it already in your hand long before you realize you have no choice but to use it. The element of surprise adds shock value that greatly increases the effectiveness of the pepper spray and the blunt strikes. Basically, in the mind of the attacker, he's in a lot of pain because you're always 2 steps ahead of him, and he doesn't want to know what comes next after the baton strikes if he continues to persist against a strong and prepared defender (probably serious injury or death).
A tail bag on a motorcycle is utilitarian in purpose. Fuck what it looks like. It's about how much it can hold and what you need it for.
Why not just get some bungee net and strap a gallon of Arizona to your passenger pillion?
This is what it basically looks like without the truck, I usually set up first and then back the truck underneath and sleep in the pickup bed. Couldn't find the costco link, but this is similar. I have a bunch of shade cloth, both 6'x10' and 6'x20' that i arrange and stitch together as needed. These are the bungees. Sticks for tent poles to hold the shade cloth up. Shade cloth is also a decent wind barrier.
I threw the large Surly front rack with a few ball bungees on my Fat Tire and it's been great for the commute. Highly recommend it.
I am using these 11 inch cords. I initially bought 6 inch but it was too short. You want a little play so they can move a little as you get the one across from it strapped in.

Okay 4 plants with good genetics can yield just as much weed as 6 plants with lesser genetics.
So here is what I recommend.
Tent: 4x4 minimum with 5x5 preferred because it gives you room to walk in the tent which saves your back and also gives you room for extra equipment inside the tent, buy Vivosun they are good quality and have excellent zippers.
Seeds/breeders: Dinafem and Dutch Passion are excellent breeders you can buy both from Dinafem.

Grow Light: Depending on how large of a yield you want you have several options.

320 watt Samsung LED.
If you want more than 500 watts in a 4x4 or 5x5 you can buy more than one of these lights and hang them side by side.

Is there anything else I can help you with?
Nice. I envy your trip, as I sit at my desk in the midst of a conference call that started 4 hours ago and shows no sign of ending any time soon.
Gonna throw a couple of questions out at ya (no need to answer me - more for you to think about). Experienced WW/flatwater kayaker & canoeist here, with some rescue training... I can't see everything you have, but am wondering what safety stuff you've got with you.
+1 for the attached knife to PFD (tip - get a bungee ball thing, wrap it thru the hole in the base of the knife and flip the ball portion up above the tip, over the part that is permanently attached to the PFD. That way, it can't end up on the bottom of the lake/river (with umpteen others just like it). Also, when you pop it off intentionally, you can slide the bungee thing over your hand so that if you drop the knife, it hangs from your wrist. (need to be careful not to stab yourself, though. ;-) ) Here's a link to Amazon for the balls I'm talking about: https://www.amazon.com/ABCCANOPY-Bungee-Canopy-Elastic-String/dp/B07M7TLS1C/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=bungee+ball&qid=1573753498&s=hi&sr=1-6
*) any bailers or bilge pump coming with to empty water from a swamped kayak
*) anything to help you climb back in in deep water - a paddle float or a length of webbing/rope to be used as a step off of the
​
Just a couple of things to think about.
​
Enjoy your trip - I SOOOO envy you right now. :-)
I have the net and this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073TZ99D2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_SPrBDbDB6SHTW
I routinely transport a rather heavy duffle strapped to the pillion. The net isn’t pstrong enough to hold it. Cheap so I don’t regret buying it, but not useful for this. But the elastic is too weak and stretched to about 2x it’s normal size.
Haven’t tried the straps yet but they do seem a lot stronger. Not sure I love how the buckles work on them but I’ll be trying them with the bag tomorrow and see how it works.
Contoured eye masks ftw!! these babies have granted me much needed sleep amongst lousy co passengers https://www.amazon.fr/comfortable-Trilancer-Anti-lumière-bouchons-professionels/dp/B07536B5NS
I really want the Blichmann Riptide, but that is too strong for this purpose.
Instead I got this little guy
Be sure to put a ball valve on the output side so that you can control the flow of wort. Magnetic drive pumps are safe to slow down without causing damage to the pump itself. There is no physical gear spinning the pump element it is just a magnet ring that can slip safely. Also, you need to be able to disassemble your pump for cleaning so choose something that is stainless steel instead of plastic. Plastic ones will wear and eventually break. Furthermore, this pump needs to be primed. Do not run it dry.
So, easiest way I can think if is a piece of 1x3, length of whatever the flashlight, then across the middle. s a bungee-ball strap that goes across it. Then mount the board.to the wall. Simply lift the ball and remove flashlight, (probably could just slide it forward as well, but this design might take some tweaking)
These are the types of bungee cords I'm talking about. (Youd probably want them shorter, and of course fewer than 50.

If you want to walk from one end of the ship to the other quickly, use the hallways on a passenger cabin deck, not the crowded main hallways where the casino/restaurants are located, or the crowded sun deck. Don't run though. Somebody's bound to be sleeping.
For a Caribbean vacation, bring more than one swimsuit. Bring an extra clothesline to hang wet clothes from. This is what I use.

Shore excursions cost a lot more if you purchase them from the cruise line. The extra peace of mind might be worth it, though.
Book dining well in advance if you want to eat at normal hours.
I signed up for a meet up for the first day of our cruise on Cruisecritic.com. Good way to meet other people.
Congratulations and best wishes!
I use some bungee cords and they work great.

Those are the Bungie loops.

Fabric
shock cord
Hooks
I just layed the fabric over the boat and traced with chock the edges. Then I used a 2 inch board and laid it next to the line and drew another line. Cut this line. Then folder over the fabric to the first line and sew. I double stitched everything and used Ti foil and rivets on the points since my sewing machine would not sew 4 layers of the fabric. That is what is under the red duct tape.
It's hard to describe but the ends that wrap around the thwarts is the tricky end but I cut 45 degree cuts on each side so that I could cut small slits in the fabric for the shock cord to exit the side pocket and then go into that thwart end. After all the shock cord is in secure the ends with some sort of wire twisted around the tails don't knot it since it is pretty lumpy then.
Then install your hooks on the boat and with a razor blade cut slices so the shock cord can come out and hook to the hooks.
It's all just seat of the pants. This is my third set I've made. I made a set for my Buddies Wildfire and also another Penobscot 15. this set turned out the best. The hardest part was keeping my cigar lite and my beer cold :) and dicking with the bobbin on the sewing machine
I've grown to love these rope ratchets for self bondage. A great way to adequately tighten restraints in most self bondage situations. (https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B079DLF99K/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
In the first pic, I'm on my knees, head pulled back by the D ring on the harness gag, neck pulled forward to the frame of my bed, arms pulled backwards, and also have a line attached to the cock ring of my chastity cage pulling behind me. Effectively stuck in that position. Release for this one is easy enough, I just unbuckle the cuffs when I'm ready to be done.
Second picture is one I do often. Spread eagle, arms, legs, thighs all pulled to the corners of the bed, Balls pulled toward the foot and harness gag pulled toward the headboard. Again, basically stuck in that position, I couldn't really move anything more than an inch or so in any direction. Lovense vibrator on my dick set to a 25 minute cycle of teasing short 1-3 second bursts followed by 3-5 seconds of nothing. It did a great job of not letting me climax before I was released by an ice ring system.
Could you get someone to sew some pannier bags for you? I'm pretty sure their are DIY patterns out there and I've heard it's super cheap to get clothes and bags custom made there (could have heard wrong)
I wouldn't recommend welding a metal box unless you've tried every other option because for sure there would be drawbacks with that.
Just in the meantime, can you get hold of a bungee net like this?
https://www.amazon.com/Fuel-Helmets-Bungee-Cord-Cargo/dp/B001RBQF4G
If so you could probably put your current backpack on top of the rack and strap it down with the bungee net.
I don't know about cruiser bikes, they are very heavy and slow, not much good if there's any hills around. I'd way rather adjust another kind of bike to the sort of ride position I want. If you really want to change the handlebar position there are more drastic options that haven't been mentioned for bringing it higher or closer (swept back trekking handlebars, stem extender).
A regular MTB is maybe not the best choice for commuting (though you can do worse), but something like the Giant ARX 2 works better and is what I would recommend if you aren't doing extreme offroad riding: https://www.giant-bicycles.com/us/arx-2
I've seen a similar problem before and I think you'll be just fine. The top two clips may not fully close but it is not the end of the world as long as the clip "eyelets" are resting flush on the rack. First, I would make sure the bottom adjustable arm is adjusted to where it will prevent the bag from moving upward. Then I would get something like this. I would test different sizes to find one that doesn't put too much pressure (or friction) on the pannier, but enough to prevent it from moving too much on bumps. It may not look pretty, but touring is not for the narcissistic. I would definitely test your set-up on several shorter 1-2 day rides to make sure no friction is occurring which might tear up your panniers and that (most importantly) the panniers won't pop off the rack frame or slide around. Though this is just good protocol with any new gear.
Regardless if you go this route or not - DO NOT CUT your RackTime rack. It is tubular aluminum so it won't rust, but it also is a lot weaker than steel. If you cut it, you could really jeopardize the integrity of the rack (which is probably rated at a little over 50-60lbs as is), and set yourself up for a catastrophic touring accident. Given the money you spent on those nice panniers, I HIGHLY suggest supplementing them with a Surly Nice Rack up front. It's steel...and it's heavy(er)...but it will fit the Ortleibs very comfortably and will last a lifetime. I have two Ortleib FrontRoller Classics on a Surly Nice rack in the front and and works great!!!
What kind of sport bike do you have?
I have a '97 VFR (sport touring) and I use this cargo net. It just has some simple hooks on it that I place under the plastics; my buddy has a '96 F3 and uses the same one, works fine for him.
About $6 on Amazon. You won't regret it.

I recently got a similar bungee net off of Amazon for under $10 and it's been the best. My bike doesn't have any saddle bags so if I end up getting groceries it's perfect. It's also non intrusive when you don't need it.

I'll give you another, related tip:
Instead of rope when trying to secure stuff on your car roof, use bungee cord, like this one. You'll need about 30 feet of it.
Make a secure loop in one end and use that as the starting point (hook it around the roof rack somewhere secure). No go from side to side, back and forth and fasten it on both sides while keeping good tension on the cord.
Finish with a moveable hook like this one and if the cord is too long and you end up with some slack, just open a door and toss the slack inside the car and close the door.
You'll never have to stop ans check the tension on the rope (that will shake loose after a while as you know) and whatever you secure up there with bungee cord will stay there even if you flip your car (I think, haven't actually done this).
Edit: I linked to the first products I found on Amazon, if you buy this, make sure that the cord and the hook matches in thickness.

That's just where it ended up at the top at the end of the grow so it's wired to the top, normally I use Polypropylene rope to hang it, I like knots and rope work so adjusting the lines every 2 days or so as the plants grow is fun for me lol. BUT if I was normal, I would just buy ratcheting hanging straps from amazon that are made for grow lights. Vivosun's straps look nice: https://www.amazon.ca/VIVOSUN-2-Pair-Hanger-Improved-Convenience/dp/B079DLF99K/ref=sr_1_27?qid=1561955173&s=gateway&sr=8-27&srs=11914446011
PBT sells a bungee kit for €137.
I think that's as good of a deal as you can possibly get from a fencing vendor.
That said, you could buy the pulleys, bungees, and build your own central anchor point (which is for the floor-cords, not the bungee) on your own and save. I used marine pulleys when I made mine, which was a needless fancy "upgrade," but whatever, I liked it.
All you would need then is the two floor-cords.
It's really pretty simple to figure out how to set it up.

PS: What kind of box do you have? You might need/want to upgrade the timings on it to the modern timings. If it's a favero box the upgraded chip is $60 at Blue Gauntlet or Absolute. If you have an SG (St. George) box then try shooting BG or Absolute an email asking about it. Obviously, Leon Paul would be the person to contact if you bought yourself an LP box.
