The Flextail is worth it's weight in gold. It can also be used used to fan a temperamental fire. I always put my chair upside down on my bike seat at night. Keeps the chair seat and the bike seat dry from dew and rain the next morning. I carry a Gomboy as well. We do a lot of bush camping here in Oz and it's already paid for itself. I find a Sawyer filtration kit packs down a lot smaller too. Cheers

A super conversation on the kit, I want to thank you both and wish you many happy camping trips.

I like your folding kitchen sink but I actually carry a small washing up bowl. My cooking set and loose small items fit inside it. It takes up next to no space and is so useful.

I think you are right to carry everything to make your camping stops comfortable. I do. I’ve never seen the point of roughing it just for the sake of it. I mainly tour on a slightly bigger bike and about a year ago changed from using an inflatable mattress to using a modern lightweight camp bed. Like your chair it’s light and folds away into a small bag. It’s quicker to set up and pack away than an air bed and has taken my comfort level to another level. It also lifts you off the ground if it’s cold.

That cooking kit was brilliant. All appropriate gear.

That Helinox chair is really comfy. There are many camping things you would dispose of at first sight and find out how useful they are afterwards. Happy Easter, Günter/Nürnberg

Its so nice to see ityems ive added to my future camoing trip featured on your Video. Lovely to see you back you happy couple.

Great video and I love the set up! I ride a CRF 450L and this is applicable to my style of riding as well. Thanks and keep it up.

Really good video. Look forward to your next adventure!

Excellent informative video, always interesting to what others use and pack and what is considered essential or luxury 🤣 thanks for sharing 🤘🏻

My wife and I have much of the same kit for our moto camping. We upgraded our Reckless 80s to Backcountry 35 panniers and it was life changing. Massively more convenient and the storage is in a much more useful shape. Heavier, but worth it. We have the "bikepacking" version of the Copper Spur tent. Great because the poles are very short and packs the same length of the tent bag. We also use the Sea to Summit cookware and we really like it. The only thing we didn't like and stopped using was the cup because it smelled strongly of silicone whenever a hot drink was in it. Try the Gerber complEAT eating utensil set. It's the Swiss army knife of KFS kits. Super handy. Thanks for the great video!

Great video on your Motorcycle camping setup. I totally agree with making sleep a priority as if you are not well rested, accidents do happen. I do a lot of long distance hiking as well as bike trips so there is some crossover but the bike kit is slightly bulkier and heavier. For this I tend to use 2x pillows attached to the mat to prevent sliding off. I have and have used many sleeping bags and for motorcycle trips have settled on the Therm-a-rest Questar 20, lots of room for side sleepers. I use this with the Big Agnes Rapide sleeping pad, which is quiet to sleep on and has a good R rating. For cooking I have the trangia setup with a few extras (plate, frying pan etc) that pack into the original design. Have multiple cooking systems but always come back to this for long trips. I have a gas and multi fuel cooker for this, depending on foreseen availability. Flexitail pump a must, as now a new convert.

So.. I am looking at taking on my 1st solo camping trip next year to Norway. I have been abroad on my motorbike before but stopped in AirBnB.....you video has been the most informative one i have found as i research kit.

Found your channel yday while researching the Pyrenees ACT, and coincidentally drove past you guys through Manteigas today in Serra da Estrela! Your CRFs are def remarkable! Keep up the good work, enjoying your videos!

Can relate to a lot of what your saying here. And agree too. Much of our kit is very similar and here's another shout out to the quality of Sea to Summit kit! We are also heading off on a Scandi trip - 22 days to go - when are you heading out there. Great video guys. Keep them coming.

Good vid as usual guys so keep them coming. Just wanted to add a comment about using a pump to inflate the mattresses. I'm a pump user as well because experience has shown that inflating them with warm moist breath can cause mould to form inside 😮 I've seen a few expensive mattresses with visible black staining showing through from the mould growth inside them, which doesn't effect the way the mattress performs, but doesn't look great, and not nice to look at on your 200 squid purchase !

The flextail is very essential. I use dry bags for clothes and inner tent and i use inflatable mats. Flextail is a game changer for blowing up but also sucking everything down small

Just found your channel- very good! I use my cycle camping stuff for moto camping, so it seems easy when you don’t have to pedal! I agree about the chair it’s no longer a luxury item now I’m almost seventy.

You’ve done well enjoy your trips life is short

Awesome video. Great gear. Some very useful ideas for my lifestyle (I’m 73). I think (from experience) that getting rid of your kitchen sink would be foolish. Anything that compact that holds water is an asset.

Love seeing stuff! I have the msr whisperlight, similar to yours and while it isnt the smallest, carrying gas cannisters and hoping they last is annoying. Totally agree with the little pump... blowing them up with anything else allows moisture and gunk to get in. Mine has a bag to squeeze air into it... I think its exped, wish Id gone for a wider mat but its good in any weather. The pillow... definately an essential for me, as is a chair, but I have yet to find ones i like... might bite the bullet and get the exped mega pillow and the helinox chair at some point this year.

Thank goodness I’m not the only one”feet sticker out the bottom’ person on Earth!!! 😂🤣

good thing you have the sea to summit pan, cause we use the bowl to stir fry some stuff, like bacon and eventually failed, it has to be used with liquids always otherway the silicone split between the aluminium

The tiny pump is great.

Feet have to be out of the sleeping bag!! Im a side sleeper and its a right faff at night time....

Hi, thank you for sharing your knowledge on your camping set up. Some really good advice that im going to look into. Greatly appreciated. Just a quick question about your sleeping bag. Do you use the -1 version or the -9 one? Looks a great bag, just what im after for a comfy night. Looking forward to watching all your back catalog of videos. Really inspiring. Best wishes to you both for all your future adventures 😊🌎🖐️

👍

Cool video, informative and well edit”d, just one thing, too much on screen text at various locations at once, it gets very distracting. Keep up the good work!

Head torch!

JHC. Money to burn on the sleeping mat!
