Carrying Water On A Motorcycle (Giant Loop Cactus Canteen and an old CamelBak)
Here's a look at how I carry water when I'm out on the bike. I use a Giant Loop Cactus Canteen and an older military surplus CamelBak. There are loads of options, but this is what I've found works well for me.

    I'm liking your style. I carry a 66L waterproof duffel but I want to get a setup with the huge tool roll, ultralight Tyvek rain suit and first aid kit on the bike all of the time and just use the duffel for camping equipment. I'd like to have enough volume to carry 3 liters of water low, in the small soft pannier that has the rain suit. I chose the WildHeart duffel because the D ring tie downs are on the bottom of the bag so attaching the duffel to the rack doesn't compress the duffel and I can open the duffel and close it again at a rest stop without completely unstrapping it from the bike. The attachment and the opening/closing of the duffel should be independent, but the only other waterproof duffel I've seen with bottom attachment points is the very nice Wolfman bags, but they didn't make a bag in the size and shape I needed. I mount my duffel inline so it doesn't hang off the sides to cause aerodynamic drag on the road and so it doesn't catch on rocks and trees off road. The 1" straps you're using look like the NRS cam buckle straps that I have used since the early 80s. They're very strong. You don't want a marginal attachment when moto camping. Moto Giant recently lost his sleeping bag off the back. It went into the rear tire at 80 MPH and he lost his right foot in the crash. No matter how good your straps, have redundancy. No single point failures. I tie my duffel to the rear rack with four separate independent attachment points. Any two could fail at the same time and I should be safe. I have an earth-pak waterproof backpack and the quality of their stuff is good, and it's a great value. I prefer to sleep in a lay-flat asymmetric hammock. A good hammock doesn't save any weight of packed volume compared to a biking tent but I do dispersed camping and stealth camping and it's very difficult to find a flat spot for a tent, but it's easy to find two trees. I'm also getting old and sleeping on the ground, even with a thick inflatable mattress, is hard on the old bones. I use ultralight waterproof stuff sacks to organize my stuff inside the big waterproof duffel. That keeps my clean clothes from smelling like my dirty clothes. I carry a large 2.9 liter titanium pot because I like to cook a big meal in the evening (not a dehydrated meal) and I don't like it boiling over. It doesn't weigh much and I carry all of my kitchen stuff in the pot. I cut a circle of the flexible cutting board you showed that's the sizeof the pot so it packs with the cooking supplies. I also cut a large poly mailer to make a 12"X20" kitchen ground cloth to organize my cooking stuff so it doesn't get dirty or lost on the ground. It weighs next to nothing and takes almost no space. Gray side toward the ground and white side up. I use a $13 alcohol stove. It's completely silent which is nice, and I can buy yellow bottles of HEET fuel line additive methanol fuel at convenience stores. I hate trying to locate steel isobutane canisters. It's not fast, but it can simmer which is great for real cooking. Thanks for sharing. I love seeing how other people moto camp, picking up tips here and there. Two thumbs up for Moto Camp Nerd.

      I use a Hennessy lay flat four season hammock. It's larger and heavier than some minimalist tents, but it doesn't need an inflatable pad, and it doubles as a camp chair, although I wouldn't pitch it next to a campfire. I'd carry a camp chair for that. I haven't built campfires since the late 1970s. 🙂

    GREAT video! As mentioned, there NO reason to cary more than ONE day of food. TOO many riders keep packing until all their luggage is overloaded - with more stuff hanging outside. I use the smallest possible bags. I can ENJOY the ride with a lighter cycle because I use basically the same packing list that I use for BICYCLE touring! I call this MotorBikePacking. In fact, I can enjoy overnight rides on my MINI MOTO - and cover the same miles at the same speed as overloaded hogs that weigh more than twice as much (and cost 5 to 10 times MORE!) - as @RTWpaul has proved!

    Nice set, very simple. I will definitely start tanking about minimizations of my supplies when I get T7 and I plan to, but for now I have a big girl T12 and carry lots of stuff although trying for the next time when I go get as minimal as possible. As you know with all packed I will not able to go offroad as much on T12 than on T7, but believe or not I was getting in some places but it was nerve racking. My installation is including 3 boxes, 2 sides and top, and on my from crash bars I have 2 gallon canisters on each side which makes me worry free in deserted mountains areas or deserts to have water, also have some hang tree water bag with filter to fill those canisters per need. And those 2 canisters play as counterweight balance for my luggage in the back. Heavy set I know, but my priority to cover the miles and occasionally go to offroad places to camp, not too far obviously. Lots of details, sorry, I am excited to go ASAP, but I am thankful for sharing about your setup, totally good info to think about. Good luck in your travels and be safe.

    I carry an extra plug and CDI box. Went with a Trail Tech Voyager. Did a Kouba lowering link. Aftermarket foot pegs and bar risers are a must. Don't know what they were thinking with 37" seat height and crazy low endo bars as I call them. Raising the bars causes the stock mirrors to vibrate. Maybe those aftermarket mirrors reduce or eliminate vibration? The bike does most things you ask of it and that is what makes it what it is and largely unchanged for 3 decades. Like the Pelican case. Good idea.
