Hi just one remark for people who want to hit the road, effectively keeping your Spot emergency locator on your bike is wrong. Simply because if you fall and you cannot go back to your bike, which would be probably away from you in most cases, your Spot would be useless. It is better to have it on you, so it is reachable at any time. Simple advice. Take care and ride safely ;)
@@BlackdogADV no I just mean taking it in and out, I have everything in packing cubes, cube that goes in the tent, cube that is for cooking, etc. maybe i'm the weird one hahah
Heading to PB this July/Aug and your assessment of items is very helpful. I know myself and others strive to figure out what we need vs what we will use. How you pack is also a bonus I appreciate. How many and what size sd cards did u use as I was planning on taking a hard drive. Thanks, Randy from Idaho
I use 128 SDs and generally take 2 or 3. I try to only have the camera on for active/interesting. The last 3 Arctic trips I just used a GoPro 8 but I’m thinking of adding an Insta 360 to the mix.
Well-done. People need to be more aware of what they bring. I've read quite a bit concerning the Appalachian Trail. They say that many find out during the first 5 miles they brought too much. They end up slinging the overweight stuff into the trees & over the hill. Items such as cast iron skillets, 2 burner Coleman stoves and gallons of water can be found.
Very very helpful. Thank you. Will use this for my TAT trip. Greetings and respect to all from Durango Mexico 🇲🇽
Thanks! I happen to be returning from another Tuktoyaktuk trip, I’ll do a follow up video with more details in a few days.
@@BlackdogADV excellent !!

Thanks for sharing, good information and tips. Is your GPS a Garmin Nuvi? How did it work for you (was a paper map needed too)?
@@jackswisher3171 I use a Garmin Zumo XT that worked perfectly. I always carry paper maps also.
@@BlackdogADV Thanks!
How do you break the tires bead on the side of the road?
Motion Pro bead breaker tool. Works great and I highly recommend.

What do you use for a camera, microphone and software for editing?
GoPro 8, Panasonic G85, Rode mic and iMovie. Although lately I’ve been using the GoPro more than anything else.

Genius Tire Rack! Please make a video to describe its design!
Yes please. I want a video on the tire rack
How to you stop all the shite off the road from lining the inside of the tyres?
Just put on new tires at the start of the trip. If there are more miles to be had out of the old ones put them back on when you get home.
Can you post a sketch or drawing of you tire rack components and mount
Sure. If you have the same rack your welcome to borrow or buy this one.
Also you can email me here and I’ll get you sorted out. Blackdog471@mac.com
