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 heard that thermals and even underware made of 💯 wool is really good in terms of staying fresh for longer due to wool's natural coating, drying quicker, and packing well. Wonder if any riders tried...
Yep this is definitely true!! I wear 100% Merino Wool thermals, glove liners and balaclava and it is amazing for staying warm, comfortable and odour free for an entire trip!
Icebreaker jocks and a spare shirt are awesome. Lightweight, and much more stink resistant than synthetics. I disagree, always carry a spare shirt - nothing better than being able to put on a fresh shirt after a dip in a river or whatever. If you buy right, they’ll be very small and lightweight, and fit inside a stove or whatever.
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 agree I ordered my hammock setup from the USA the whole lot including quilts under and top weighs in at 1.8kg in the canvas handlebar bag. Super comfy and the lay is not like a banana but farely flat. Slept in mine for 16 days when I did the Mundabiddi on the fat bike.. Best bit of kit 👌
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!
Ahhh nice one! I’d love to own a Big Agnes tent one day. I agree, the only time I spend in my tent is sleeping. I really like the space and weight saving in return on the bike 🤙
@@TheMotoBarista I use the Big Agnes Copper Spur UL1 Bike packing tent. The shorty poles are a winner for panniers. It has 'just enough' space and is all I need when bush camping.
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!
Thanks for comment and sub! Yeh the packing cubes are great, I don’t think I have anything loose in my bags, packing cubes are great for organising and fast access. I’ll definitely be making future videos on moto camping setup and tips - plus a deeper dive into what I pack!
@@TheMotoBarista yeah I think I picked up those packing cubes because I watched FTA Adventures talk about it in one of his videos. It really helps loading and unloading the bags much easier
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.
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.
Cool ..I mean warm, I did buy thin reflective pad and Nemo swichback insulated for winter hiking usage, good to know that extra layer helps, I did already know that when used on the pad reflective pad really makes a difference.
Check out the Explore Planet Earth Spartan 2 person - fantastic, pretty small, but nice and wide at the shoulders once set up, with 2 vestibules for boots etc.
I’ve seen a few videos from you and I notice you don’t strap down the side buckles on the bag to the leg straps. Is there a particular reason you do that?
What do you think of the Naturehike? A buddy has one, but finds it lights up like a torch with even a slightly bright moon. We were recently camping under full moon, and the poor guy had to wear his neck gaiter as an eye mask.
@@TheMotoBarista yeah and to be fair, I'm a very solid sleeper too but haven't tried his out. I got the EPE Spartan II instead, at a fair chunk cheaper, and it's great. Only a couple of outings so far, but really roomy, including extra width at the shoulders because of a weird pole setup.

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.

winter season...ahhahah good one
Yes, in Minnesota USA, in winter we need snow machines.
Dude what’s with the empty cup 😂😂😂
If you ever decide to upgrade to the mosko 80 id gladly be willing to purchase your 40’s. Love the SE orange. 😊
Hahaha yeh - the orange Moskos are definitely a rare & hot commodity 🤣

Hahaha I know 🤣 there is just a shot of whiskey in there 🤦♂️
Naturehike are pretty good for the money...have used one for a few years now. 👍
Agreed, really great materials used and lightweight. Happy with mine ⚡️
..cool video keep up the great content.. Thank you…
Thanks for watching and the kind words 🙏
Nice. I’m going from KLR to KLX, so need to pare my gear down.
You don't need mosko expensive stuff. I'm guessing he is sponsored by them. Throw a duffel on the back and go.

Your sleepinpad already has that reflective layer inside, doubling up does not hurt, but I don't know if it helps much either.
I have the same one.
Yeh I know it does, but yes the reflective base mat helps considerably when it is cold. I would say another 1-2 R Value?

Aluxe mini peak 2 tarp tent, Mosko Moto reckless 80, Exped submarine.
Never realzed Phil Foden was into ADV biking!!
Mosko is my choice as well
Some might say, the only choice 🤣
It’s quality gear that been well thought out and built by motor bike riders
@@Rowbags agreed, I really like the people behind the company too.
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!
Smart, I usually end up walking around camp with no pants yelling “Good Morning Vietnam!” 🤣🤣
Just got turned on your channel. An intelligent man and love your Content.Fantastic.
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.
Check out the Explore Planet Earth Spartan 2 person - fantastic, pretty small, but nice and wide at the shoulders once set up, with 2 vestibules for boots etc.
I’ve seen a few videos from you and I notice you don’t strap down the side buckles on the bag to the leg straps. Is there a particular reason you do that?
I tie them onto some bolt on tie down points mounted in my rear passenger peg holes. Keeps the straps tucked out of the way of my legs and chain.
As a long time MoCyAdv the only thing I hate is getting out of LA to start my Adv. OMG sometimes 2 hours!
No bueno 🤣
Can't go wrong with Mosko Moto !
camping in australia? 🕷️🕷️🕷️ nononononoooooo noooooo. no.
Hahaha in Western Australia it’s really only snakes you need to worry about and in winter it’s too cold for them anyway.
