After living in Alaska for 25 years, this was the ride where I finally refined my ultralight motorcycle camping gear — a practical, no-nonsense kit made from things I already owned or repurposed. No fancy gear, no sponsorships, just a real moto camping kit that works on long-distance northern roads. In this video, I break down my entire motorcycle camping setup in a fun stop-motion gear video, mixed with images from my trip. If you’re curious how to pack light for adventure motorcycle travel, or you want ideas for a minimal moto setup for your next ADV ride, you’ll find ideas here. Whether you’re planning your own Alaska motorcycle trip, riding the Yukon, or just looking for practical, ultralight moto camping ideas, this setup is simple, and was tested across rough northern miles and backpacking trips.
