This conversation reminds me of an article on the TAW that I recently read https://www.bicycling.com/culture/a25654814/transatlantic-way/ which despite being in a high-profile magazine clearly illustrates that these (heavily sponsored and with a film-crew in tow) riders had pre-booked all their accommodation, sent supplies ahead etc
Pro Gear Tip
“We pre-shipped a change of clothing to ourselves every two days so we had fresh kits, and food and drink mix. We also had basic repair supplies, tools, quicklinks, tubes, spare cable and housing, one spare cleat. We had enough tubes for us to each get two flats apiece... we pre-shipped tubes as well. What we didn’t use, we shipped to the finish. Having such a minimal setup made for quick arrivals and departures.” — Matt Roy -
I did it without a dynamo, bivvied a lot and had zero faff, using 2 USB power banks a Zendure A2 for phone (3 full charges) and a Maplins one for lights (1 full charge of the Exposure, or partial charges of the 3 rear lights).
GPS- Etrex that runs on AA batteries
Lights- Exposure Strada with about 15hrs burn time on low (plenty bright enough)
Phone- didn't use it much and was often on airplane mode so charged every other day or so
Rear lights- all USB chargeable, Lezyne and 2 cheap wiggle ones for back-up -
