Things I omitted in the video:
I seldom camp from the bike but needed to be prepared due to duration (3 weeks) and remoteness of locations I planned to visit. My basic approach to packing is to prioritise the riding and thus take as little as possible - both in terms of weight and size. You'd be surprised how little you really need to get by. The biggest luxuries I packed were a chair and hammock. I didn't use the chair once and only used the hammock on one occasion. Throughout the trip I never wished for any item I didn't have with me. I took no rest days and therefore spent very little time in a given location, always pushing onward to the next.
I carry jumper cables and a tow strap under my seat. I take washing powder and do laundry every other day. I ride with a backpack which contains all camera equipment, passport, hydration bladder, laptop and other valuables. The backpack weighs 13kg (28lbs) with everything I need.
Spares I carry:
Fuel pump, fuel filter, syphon hose, 200ml of oil, 50ml of mineral oil, front and rear wheel bearings, various O-rings, hose clamp, fuses & relays (rectifier - although not on this trip).
Next up is a walkthrough of my 2006 KTM 990 Adventure S. Keep an eye out ๐
After that I prep the Husky 501 for it's maiden voyage over a two week period. I packed less than half the amount of stuff I did on the 990. Stick around for more on that ๐
