2025 Swift Campout Navigator: Devin Cowens, Atlanta GA
Swift Campout is a global call to go bikepacking on the solstice, June 21st and 22nd, 2025.
Swift Campout Navigators are appointed bikepackers from all corners of the world that are rallying their friends and communities to skip town for a Swift Campout. They’ll be tuning in and sharing their bikepacking rigs, walking us through their favorite gear, and in some special cases, inviting you along on their public campout. Tap into their expertise and follow their adventures through swiftcampout.com.

Devin on Swift Campout
As someone who celebrates the solstice as a time to reflect, practice gratitude, and connect with the land, Swift Campout gives me opportunity to spend time outside with fellow bike adventurers and like minded individuals celebrating the outdoors and being in nature on the longest day of the year.
