Fundamental Gear for Comfy Motorcycle Camping | Lightweight + Warm!

I recently took a multi-day camping trip on my KTM 790 Adventure along with my friend, Mitch on his BMW R1250GSA. We had a blast in the forests of south-west Australia. In this video i break down the fundamental gear needed to be comfortable and warm on motorcycle camping trips without sacrificing weight and bike handling!

Nice review. Getting older and fatter, I just don't sleep on the ground any more. A few years ago, I switched to hammock camping. Game changer. I don't use a sleeping bag, switched to a sleeping quilt, and for when weather is more brisk, an under quilt for the hammock. The hammock system with fly, sleeping quilt and even under quilt take up less space than tent, bag, and pad. All ya need are substantial trees! Don't need flat or smooth ground. Hammock works as a camp chair. With you fly up, you have a nice dry space beneath you for prep and storage. ropes and straps make a nice place to air out sweaty gear. It's a win. I have an REI system they don't sell anymore, but it has suspension in the ends so you do lay flatter than hammocks without. There are still a few out there. Eno makes the SkyLite.

I recently took a 15 day cross country trip from Miami FL to New Hampshire and i can agree that i packed a whole lot more clothes than what i needed. I packed like if i was supposed to change clothes when i arrived at the camp site, or clothes to sleep, or "maybe ill go to a nice place one day" clothes... and i found myself being in my riding gear 90% of the day instead, and just rewore the same shirt over and over again.

Another thing i might add that you showed in the video but didnt talk about, was how efficient those packing cubes are! I think i got the same set you did from amazon that brought like 3 pairs of different sizes. Its a GREAT way to keep the inside of your bags organized. In a future video, id really like to hear about everything else you took thats "not essential", like tank bags, charging systems, tool bags/tools and maybe also stuff you took that you never used.

Excellent video, just subbed!

I'm about to set off on a 7 day trip and I have gone through my load out a couple times. This is a great video. I think I will remove most of my clothing but keep the cold weather gear and probably ditch my cookware and keep the Jet Boil, GOT to have coffee in the AM. I can always stop for a meal and I will keep just enough for emergencies. Thank you for the straight forward info.

I would take water purifier and a large tarp. I use a tarp to cover my tent/hammock. This allows you to stand outside your tent and do tasks. It protects from rain. This is especially important if you’re stuck in a heavy downpour for days and you don’t have to sit inside your tiny tent looking out at the rain. Plus you can dry your gear under there and also pack up your tent sheltered from the rain. Most people forget them because they take up space, but on a motorbike, you won’t notice.

Great video! I had an extremely difficult time choosing luggage for my KLX 300. In the end it came down to the Mosko Reckless 40 or the Wolman E-base + Rollie. In the end I decided on the Wolfman because the same base can hold 3 different sizes of bags, so I can do the small bags for a day trip, or the medium or large bags for a full weeklong excursion. They are also a little bit lighter than the Mosko gear. But Mosko definitely looks better and is probably more sturdy in the long run. I'll see how it goes!

A two person side entrance tent isn't that much heavier or bulky than a one person.
Its easier to set up your sleeping system in, and you don't have to be a contortionist to get in and out of it.
And if the weather goes bad, you can bring your stuff inside, and there is more room in there while you're waiting out a storm.

Naturehike are pretty good for the money...have used one for a few years now. 👍

Nice. I’m going from KLR to KLX, so need to pare my gear down.

[lifeofascrambler]

My favourite gear is a spare set of comfy pants, cos I often go through water I take my riding (Kevlar Jeans) off and hang them up to dry!

If you ever decide to upgrade to the mosko 80 id gladly be willing to purchase your 40’s. Love the SE orange. 😊

I have a fly creek big agnes tent that is very similar to yours. Some people like more room. But for me when I get in my tent its time for bed.

hey man i saw you did not pack floss. Dental hygine is very important!

[insatiable_mind]

I have a hammock and tarp but I may need a tent eventually. I’ll only use a two person backpacking tent though, if only for the extra room.

Your sleepinpad already has that reflective layer inside, doubling up does not hurt, but I don't know if it helps much either.
