    It was interesting to see what you would bring on a motorcycle trip in 2024. For a single person without camping gear I wouldn't consider 30 l luggage light. In 1978 on my first motorcycle trip with my girlfriend as passenger from Denmark to Southern France on a Suzuki GT550 we had our tent, mattresses and sleeping bags in a sailor's sack. Two 25 l panniers were used for other camping gear, stove, clothes, water, food, tools and two stroke oil. Maps, guidebooks and cameras were in the tank bag. It went very well and we continued to use the same recipe for some years - also when my back convinced me to get a motorcycle with a more upright riding position. We also had room to bring back some nice bottles of wine.

    This is by far the best packing guide and the best tips for what to bring on a motorcycle tour i've ever come across. All the stuff you actually need, multi-purpose/combined use, nothing unnecessary and all in a very small volume which could fit on literally any bike. Just all-around very well thought out, thanks for sharing!

    I have a 66L roll top waterproof duffel that I use on the rear rack and pillion. turned longitudinally so it doesn't extend on the sides and catch on trees or create aerodynamic drag, and that's enough for minimalist ultralight primitive camping (aka wild camping in Europe). I have a light blue ultralight roll top waterproof bag for my clean clothes, and another the same size in gray for dirty clothes so my clean clothes don't smell like my dirty clothes. When the dirty clothes bag is full, I give it a squirt of soap and water and it's the camp washing machine.

    Thanks for the video. Lots of good info.
    I am skeptical about two things.
    1 The merino wool base layer. I think it will be a lot hotter than a synthetic one.
    2. The packing west. I think it will get quite uncomfortable in hotter weather and you will probably wish you just had a tank bag to minimize weight on the body.
    But let me know how it goes, will follow your videos for sure.
    I would also recommend a mirrored / darkened visors for the hot riding days.
    I did a similar trip to yours but also visited Cyprus and kurdistan iraq, highly recommended since you are in the area. Anyways I look forward to the videos.

    • @NomadSweden
      @NomadSweden  Рік тому +1

      Thanks. The merino is proven to be cooling so i’m trying it for myself. I have a version made for hot weather.
      Packvest is a test. I will see how it works.
      I have a very dark visor. Klim Krios Pro has auto tinting so if no sun it is clear but in sun its black.

    • @d.Cog420
      @d.Cog420 9 місяців тому +1

      Synthetic is hotter and it smells very quickly from body odour. Merino comes in different weights, you get the thick one for winter and thin one for summer. It is really good, doesn't make you sweat when hot and doesn't smell (everything smells after extended periods but Merino takes a longer time). In the really cold weather I think synthetics are a bit warmer but I still use merino for the smell factor. You can do a week without washing it. It isn't magical, just the best option we humans and sheep have come up with. I recommend you give it a go yourself. A bit more expensive but worth it IMO.
