love the suggestions that come from your vast experience, much appreciated!

A real dialed down kit. Thanks for sharing it with us. The shower was worth the watch, because i had no clue they made one so small.

I like your reminder about water. It is an easy thing to forget but so crucial to a long trip.

Thank you for the great video. I use a Mosko Reckless 40 so every suggestion to cut down on weight and bulk is a big help. One way I did this is to switch from the MSR water pump filter to a Sawyer Mini Water Filter.

Nice summary! Agreed that a floor mat can be really handy. I've been using a 1/4" closed cell foam mat (cut to about half the length) for this for years. Makes a good clean work area if doing repairs, good to stand on and very comfortable to kneel on too. As a bonus, it makes logs and rocks much nicer to sit on and makes sleep more comfortable too!

I love getting these video notifications.

Really appreciate your viewpoint. You make good videos filled with good advice. Thank you.

Thank you, stay frosty 🥶

Recently did a 7 day ride - was amazed how much stuff I simply didn’t use. Good start point for me.

Hey man. Nice video. Very clear audio and suoer light gear set up. I enjoyed the video and I'm stoked for my trip in a few day.

Another great breakdown of gear. We just needed that beer 🍻! Seriously the shower was a game changer. Bolder boots. ✅ thanks for the hard work you put into this channel!!

You have a very nice backyard. This video made a lot of good points about the importance of only taking what you need and shedding as much weight as possible.

You turned me onto Boulder Boots. And they've worked out pretty good on two adventures. Thanks !

Excellent video, thank you.

Nice work! I carried a pretty similar setup on the AT on a Canada coast to coast trip. However I didn't need 90% because it turned out I didn't go camping once lol. The trip was hard and fast, 12-15 hour days on the highway. Any time I planned on camping in the evening, by around 3pm I'd just check google maps and lock in on whichever hotel I'd be reaching by dark. Routine was to check in, fire up a mountain house, charge batteries of various devices, shower, wipe bugs off face shields, lube chain, refill hydration systems, take 4 advils and hit the pillow for a few hours. I dropped all the equipment except tools/parts for dirt days (pretty rough dirt days on abandoned snowmobile trails and remote logging roads), and had a home base scenario. The only things indispensable were the tank bag, my small backpack with 3L camelback, jetboil stove and mountain house meals, small water filter, electrolyte tablets (nuun) the ones with caffeine replaced coffee (no time for coffee except during lunch break), chain lube tire spoons spare tubes, and a small selection of tools for chain, tire, plastic removal, and 2 big tubes of jb weld for sidecases! I did change my tires at either coast, pre ordered to family's house's for dirt, but never did suffer a flat. Would not do a hard fast trip like that again lol.

Wow sounds like an adventure for sure. Thanks for sharing. I’ve done trips like that in the past, but I’m with ya, I don’t do those much anymore. I like to get up in the mornings break camp, ride till about 3 or 4 and camp in a new place every day. Don’t get me wrong, I ride hard, but I camp hard too lol. Nothing better than sitting in camp after a long day. On my Canada to Mexico trip, we didn’t see another person in camp or on the trail, only thorough towns for fuel or food stop. That’s how I like it 👍🏻.

Seeing you talk about those Mountain House and Backpackers Pantry meals brings back memories . Haven't had one of them in maybe 15 years . I can't believe it's been that long . Even further back when I would mountain bike camp after driving to some remote place I had those meals but they didn't have the Pad Thai . I learned the hard way about weight and what to bring and what not to bring . They had a no firearm rule at Henry Coe St. Park and I complied but I had a nice knife and used all my God given senses to warn me of danger in crazy far away creek canyons where a mountain lion could snag me if one happened to be around . I would fish as far as I could from camp early in the morning then all day and come back to camp for dinner . They also had a no fire rule but that wasn't happening . I was alone and my buddy was a fire , I made sure to fill my 5 gallon bucket full of water and the whole area was scraped to the dirt . I am pretty fire savvy and have zero intentions of burning down anything . I saw the most majestic coyote one morning while deep in this oak bowl with boulders and the creek running through tufts of grass . This was when all anyone had was a Nokia cellphone with nothing fancy . I didn't even have one yet . So this 60lb male coyote comes gently through the trees and looks at me and I thought wow what a beautiful animal , looked like a small wolf . I tried to get my camera out of my fannypak real slow and I put my fishing rod down but I just couldn't get it out in time for a photo . It just gracefully bounced from one grass covered rock to another across the shallow creek and then jumped to the biggest boulder in the middle and looked down at me from fifty feet or so . That was totally cool . Then he went on his way across the creek and up the other side and was gone . After that I kept my camera in a shirt pocket or somewhere easier to grab so I could get those once in a lifetime shots . Another time way upstream I was working each hole but having no success except for a Squaw fish . Then I get to a large boulder on the edge of the creek with a tiny tree growing in it . There was a nice pool below me and it went upstream a ways . Just as I dropped my grub in the water I look upstream and I see 5 wild pigs cooling off on the opposite bank , all chest deep in a perfect row . I couldn't believe they were so close and I thought shit I am screwed if they get aggressive . I thought yeah I could climb this tiny tree and be only 2 feet off the top of the rock and it would snap and I would fall 15 feet into the creek probably breaking an arm at the least . I just stood firm and watched them , they made eye contact and then one made a little grunt . Then one by one they went single file out the water and away from the boulder I was on . Up the bank they went with a pause here and there and a couple grunts and snorts . It was 90 degrees out easy and I said outloud hey I am sorry for bugging you guys , they looked so peaceful just trying to stay cool in the water and shadows . I think I fished another hole or 2 and with no trout in sight I went back to camp . Those were some fun days with nothing but me and Gods creatures . Never could catch any of those wild trout until I used natural helgramites . They scoffed at everything night crawlers flys lures etc . Good times . Time for more of them but with less peddling and more throttling . Friday I confirmed my Tenere 700 order and it's on its way . Can't wait to see what it's like . Kinda strange buying something like that without ever even seeing one let alone sitting on one . But I think I will be surprised and it will be hard to stop grinning when I ride it ! Thanks for jogging my memories and I definitely will be getting some of the stuff you have in your kit .

@@backcountryadvmoto Right on . Glad your channel popped up on my scroll . Anything Dual Sport ADV I check out . As for Henry Coe St. Park I bike camped out in the back country a few times . I have one more story about that place . It was my first night and I was in Skeels Meadow I think they called it ? Anyway I had a small radio and was listening to the Giants baseball game as the sun was going down around 7pm . Cooked up a Backpacker Pantry spaghetti and pondered the play of light on the hillsides as the sun faded and also what direction to fish the next day . I think the game went on until 8:30 or so and I just turned it off when it ended , not sure who won . Like I said before I was having a fire and that was that . Saw some headlights way across the valley but they weren't headed my way , eventually I saw a 4 wheeler going up this steep as can be trail but he made it . I thought well there's at least one person semi close by and I figured they would have to be Spec Ops Native Americans or just real damn crafty to sneak up on me so I just thought whatever will be will be . Around 9:30 I thought I better put out the fire and call it a day . After drenching the flames I walked out a bit and scanned the meadow with my Maglite . Just wanted to calm my nerves a bit and check for eye shine . In the day you could see deer and pig sign and tracks etc so with any sound I heard I wanted to see if I could identify what made it . After a few minutes of that I said to myself just get in the tent and forget about what's outside , I really would of liked having my .357 magnum but I didn't want any trouble with any rangers . So me and my Buck knife hit the sack . Everything was fine until I awoke to one of the strangest sounds I have ever heard . Shit even now I am getting goosebumps . I heard heavy footfalls and leaves and twigs snapping . It was just a few and then it was quiet . I figured whatever it was it was within 40 to 50 feet of the backside of my tent . There was another couple steps crunching along but then I heard a massive exhalation of air from what must have been a very large set of lungs , I can't even duplicate it when I tell others about that night . My brain was racing and I just thought I don't know what that is and why do I only hear it exhale and not breath in . It was working it's way closer to the tent and I had to do something . I slowly unzipped the sleeping bag and real quietly slipped my steel toe mountain boots grabbed my knife and the Maglite and faced my tent door . I was crouching because the tent was only 4' high or so . That huge exhale of air was still happening about a minute apart . My tent was under two opposing oak trees that had some branches that partially sheltered me from above but the trees were about 15' away on each side . I waited for my heart to just slow just a little and steel myself for exiting the tent . I had to be perfect in every move , I slowly unzipped the tent door just a couple teeth at a time making sure not to rustle the fabric at all . Click click click 4 inches click click 6 inches and so on . When I had the door open about two feet I opened it another foot and jumped out with the Maglite shinning behind me and the sides as to blind or disorient whatever that creature was . In the other hand was my knife and I backed up to the trunk of the tree on my left . I didn't hear or see anything . I kept sweeping the light all around and I didn't see anything running away or hear anything at all . All I was thinking when I exited that tent was die with your boots on like that Iron Maiden song . Needless to say I wasn't to keen on going back in that tent . I did a walk around the tent shinning the slope behind my tent and I also had earlier gathered a bunch of rocks near the fire pit and I was chucking them at trees and bushes all around me even the meadow . After a half hour I prayed to God to ease my mind and help me go back to sleep . It worked and I ended up waking up at dawn . I looked around the tent and saw small holes about 25 to 35 feet away where it looked like a pig was rooting around . It was fresh dirt so I know it was from the night before . Just couldn't believe how much air that thing could move in its lungs , my friend has pigs and none of them ever breathed like that not even the 300lbers . After coffee and breakfast I geared up for the creek and learned that these ultra wild trout laugh at whatever you toss their way . Even had a 14 incher keep nudging my night crawler away from it , once it nudged it all the way across the small pool it was in . That fish was telling me not today moron not today . No worries it was so pretty out there at the end of April at the opening of trout season . I went back later at the end of the season and fish camped a down stream area and pitched the tent on a little gravel island in the middle of the creek , that was an awesome spot . Okay then I promise that's the last Henry Coe St. Park story , lol .

Those boots are interesting. That’s the biggest thing for me. Hate flip flops and adventure boots with shorts isn’t a good look. I’ll need to look at those before summer. Thanks for the video.

One thing I can't go without is a coffee maker. My current one is from GSI a little drip one. It is not the best that I ever had for making a cup of coffee but it is the smallest. Nests in the bottom of a fuel can.

Thanks for the video. I enjoy seeing what other people pack. I'm coming at this from an ultralight backpacking perspective, and like you said, my goal is lightweight but comfortable. If you camp near trees, I suggest the Hennessy Hammock. It's lighter than a tent, you don't need a sleeping pad in warm weather, my old bones find it much more comfortable than a tent and sleeping pad, and like you, I sleep on my side. The sleeping is diagonal across the hammock so it's much flatter than traditional hammocks. I can roll over in the night. The Hennessy Hammock can also be used as a camp seat or open hammock lounger before bed, so no need to carry a seat to have some place to sit while cooking and eating. For cooking in warm weather, I made a pop can alcohol stove that weighs 0.3 ounces. A yellow bottle of HEET fuel additve is the fuel and it can be purchased at convenience stores and many other places. Alcohol doesn't vaporize well at lower temperatures, but I don't go on bike adventures in 40 F weather. The MSR Pocket Rocket is a good minimalist butane canister stove. I also have a twig stove that burns small twigs that are readily available wherever there are trees, but it makes wood smoke that's not desirable when stealth camping.

Cut weight? Try 2 of the 3 mm thick 55 gallon drum liner bags. Use as: Rug in front of tent. Fill with pine needles / leaves - for mattress or bean bag style camp seats. Ground cover for tent Rain fly for tent. Gear storage. Stretcher style bed. Rain parka. Table cloth. Use to gather fire wood. Shade.

Great information! I’m on a light weight quest so your vid sparked my interest. I’ve been on a BMW 1200GS for 15 years and now I’m on a Husqvarna 701 (185 pounds lighter then the GS). I’m 72 and wanted a lighter bike and now I’m focused on reduce my load out. I’m a hard pannier guy, my Zega Pros weight 9 pounds each. I generally ride alone and sometimes get in deep sand or mud so a light weight setup is paramount. I love the Jetboil’s too, been using one for 11 years. I’ve been to the Arctic 3 times on the GS and want to do it on my Husqvarna next year.

I don’t know how the new version is, but if you can find the previous version it’s awesome. From what I understand the new version is really good as well it’s supposed to breathe really well. But it does seem like it has a little bit heavier duty material which honestly is great for going down on the highway, but when you are working on the bike off road I like it to be as light weight as possible because you build heat very quickly.

Thanks for watching. My sleeping pad was in this video, it was mentioned and you can see it when everything is laid out. The particular one in this video is not insulated but I do have an insulated one as well. Check out this video kzread.info/dash/bejne/fZWE0tdmfsreqdo.html

What is 7:08? A ‘tenkara flyer arm’? Can you explain that? Thanks!
