Bike & Bags
Tires: Tires over 40mm are idea. The entire route will be on a mix of gravel surfaces. Nearly any tires will work, but you'll have a more comfortable ride on something a little wider.
Bags: Any assortment of bags should work! When I started bikepacking I lashed my sleeping pad and sleeping bag to my handlebars with Voile straps and my tent was Voile strapped under my saddle. Full or half frame bags also work great as well as a top tube bags and fork bags.
GPS: You'll want a nice easy way to access your map while riding. This could be a dedicated GPS unit like a Wahoo or Garmin or an easy place to grab your phone that has the Ride With GPS or Strava app.
