You pack more than you need, but I appreciate that you are aware of weight. There are far too many UA-camrs that post Moto camping gear and some of these guys think that 50 pounds is lightweight. There’s a great thread on ADV Rider about ultralight packing. It’s well worth the read.
@@motojon76 out of curiousity what items would you remove out of my kit? The obvious being the camp chair but I fail to see what else I could trim down. My currently kit weight with food and water for 2 days is approx 16.5kg or around 36 pounds. I use to only bring my tarp if the weather was questionable but as high country weather is really unpredictable and I've been caught out in heavy rain, I make a habit of taking it with me on every trip. I'll check out those treads on ultra light packing Cheers
@@Tales_Of_Moto_Adventures You pack a lot of fear. Why all the spare parts? Why do you have so many lights? A headlamp is fine. 2 Tubes? Why are your tools so big? Read the ADV Rider thread; it'll be eye-opening for you. P.S. Your Coyote WILL leak. I've had 3 of them.
Time for a new tent imo. 1.73kg and that small isn't great. And this is coming from a proud Kiwi who loves Kathmadu stuff. I have been using the Durston XMid 2 for a little while now. It weighs only 1.1kg with the optional folding carbon poles. And has way more room inside than that Kathmandu one.
I'm surprised in the parts that you carry don't blame you maybe not brake clutch levers but maybe you've broke them in the past you made good choices 👍
Cheers mate, the never ending cycle of trying to improve the setup :). I try my best not to add too much weight, currently my kit with food and water is around 16kg. A little table would be nice, but I have found one that I like.
Nice setup thanks for sharing your progression. I recommend connecting with Alton Goods for your underquilt and your next upgrade on the sleeping pad. They have amazing products at great value and Aussie brand :)
cheers mate, I have a few mates who are into Alton goods, they do an interesting hammock under quilt I would like to get my hands on. they have a lot a good looking products.
Recently looked at the giant loop rear bags, will be good to see how they preform over the next few months. I’m sure if you soaked them before fitting to the bike the sticking would swell up like a swag and be water proof. Unlike the rest of Australia we victorians suffer massive changes in temperature when camping during the year. So we are going to have warm and cold weather set ups. One system won’t do us for the year unfortunately. Looks good man can’t wait til your next adventure using all this great gear
Cheers mate much appreciated. I used those giant loop bags for the past few months, they are really sturdy, I've come off a few times already with no damage to the bags :). I left out a few items which have for the summer months, I have the summer version of air mattress from Big Agnes, along with an Aussie Disposal 10deg C sleeping bag, I rarely use them as the weather and temp are too unpredictable in Melbourne. I'm also a cold sleeper and rather pack a warmer kit.
@@vasilispesmatzoglou3020 Thank you 🙏, I'm planning on making a tool kit break down video, along with a camera bag breakdown video in the next month or so.
@@Tales_Of_Moto_Adventures I'll be waiting for that!! I'm planning my first trip for next year so I wanna start making sure I have all the important stuff
How did you get the smell and rubber taste out of the MSR water bag? Honestly....I gave up on mine and got the Giant Loop 4l bag and am satisfied with it. I tried scrubbing...vinegar.....Dish soap, nothing got the taste and smell out of the MSR 🙄
@@MrRodwatson that is a very good point. I found you do not entirely get rid of the taste with this bladder. I periodically wash mine with a combination of backing soda, white vinegar and water. I usually let it sit in there for a few hours shaking it around violently every so often. I then repeat the process with clean water. I dry it lid down, with a microfiber towel shoved inside to soak up moisture. In mine the smell is gone, but the taste is slightly present.
@@Tales_Of_Moto_Adventures Thanks for the reply.....having said that, if you have connections at Giant Loop, I really recommend their water bags. Super tuff and molle compatible.....and almost ZERO odd taste.
Cheers mate. It will most likely be the next item I get from a giant loop. Their water bladder has much better anchor points than the msr bladder. I'm definitely keen to get my hands on one.
Nice gear and setup! I liked the fact thay you include some spare parts together with your tools. I think this is very important.
Thank you 🙏
Great episode. Thank you for choosing our gear to be apart of your camping setup. Looking forward to watching your next adventure.

Great quality vids mate. Got to be some of the best content on adv riding on youtube.
Thank you Rob :)

You have peaked my interest :), 1.1kg that's pretty awesome, I'll be checking out, thank you.
excellent and very useful for who is interested in following your footsteps. Very well done William, looking forward to see your next adventure.
@@denisandre5501 merci :)
Love this, Will. Great to have you in front of the lense giving a breakdown.
@@BBOffRoadEng thanks mate, I much prefer being behind the lens. But it's is growing on me :)
Great video.! Clear, concise and informative. Thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you 🙏
Killed it! 🤙
@@JohnSer33 Thank you 🙏
man your video quality are so high and addictive keep bringging the joy of camping
@@mr.slayer1321 Thanks mate 🙏, I much appreciate your comment.

Great run down on your gear, and a great edit also - cheers mate 👍
Cheers mate 🙏
Great run down of gear ,I’m always looking at gear I carry and I’ve got it down to similar to what you described now.
Cheers mate, the never ending cycle of trying to improve the setup :). I try my best not to add too much weight, currently my kit with food and water is around 16kg.
A little table would be nice, but I have found one that I like.
Can recommend the Big Agnes copper spur 1person tent. At 1kg. I would also consider the MSR Hubba Hubba 1p. It's lighter by a few.
@@costofexpansebrain8025 thank you 🙏, I'll suss out both of those tents.
Finally..😉👍
@@sixdays_26 thanks mate :)
Great video. Succinct and to the point.

@@Tales_Of_Moto_Adventures Yea their under-quilt is awesome. I have both under and top -5 and im hot on the coldest nights in SA.
Good vid, thanks bud.
@@PTSD_Adventurer thank you 🙏
