Thanks, Carlos!

Haha, so true! Thanks for watching.

ABC: Always Be Camping - Cheers, mate!

Yeah , the camping gives you the nice feeling and the fab views. Worth discomfort and cold sometimes to get the feeling !

Hey Troy! Just relayed your message to Pete. He'd love to connect with you via email. If you feel comfortable leaving your email address here, great! If not, shoot a message to our service team with it at moskomoto@moskomoto.com 🤘

It's nice to have options! That way you can select the right tool for the job.

Heck yeah, Liam! Light and tight. Hope you make it happen and have a blast.

BRAAP!

When is the chest rig going to drop?

@@scottlilly4091 fingers crossed for January '22

Less stuff, more fun!

Thanks for the comment and support! We're working to get the new packs and products out ASAP. Stay tuned.

@@MoskoMoto Heck yes.

Thanks, Bernie!

Thanks for checking it out, Rick!

Braap!

Greetings! Come to the shop in White Salmon and say hello some time

Glad it was helpful! The extra capacity of the 12L does make it a little pretty versatile when compared to the 8L. The 8L is great if you want to limit the amount of weight you carry on your back. 👌

@@MoskoMoto Thanks for the reply. Recent back/abdominal issue made me decide on the Wildcat 8L with the chest rig. What an awesome combination. I’ve only used it a couple of times so far but it does everything that I need. The chest rig is really what sold me but when they arrived I am really happy with the Wildcat as well. Every rider should buy one of these systems.

Hammocks are a good idea, definitely smaller and lighter than a tent. And there are PLENTY of trees in this neck of the woods haha.

Hell yeah

Excellent feedback, thanks! We're excited about producing more video content like this. Stay tuned!

thanks for commenting! see you out there

Thanks, Mattias!

YES. Retro bikes with some old school framed Kelly packs and 80’s gear - sign me up haha

That's the best place to keep them! Within arms reach!

Awesome ideas and feedback, Alistair! Cheers, Mate! Super-light moto camp missions in 2022!

Thanks! Greetings!

Thanks for the support! Happy Trails!

Thanks, Chris!

🤘

Thanks!

Will do! Thanks for the feedback. We plan on making a lot more videos like this.

This video was shot entirely with our cell phones. We have used many action cameras and drones, but cell phones are a big part of our video recording on trips like this.

RAD! Thanks for your support!

Thanks for watching, Dave! The R40 is a minimalist setup too. Keeping weight off of your back is an awesome way to travel. Nice setup.

Thanks, James! Hope we see ya out on the trail!

The chest rig will be available along side our new Wildcat backpacks which we're expecting this Fall.

Tough decision. Let us know what you decide!

If youre only gonna get 1 Id get the 40. you can always under pack it. but any multiday trip would be pushing it with less than the 40. i love it

Our Wildcat pack will be available for preorder this week! We expect them to arrive mid-late August.

bring less, ride more!

All this footage was filmed using iphones.

Btw looks like a nice Idaho trip😉

Thanks, Jeff! Might be worth trying. Keep us posted!

Chest rig coming to the Mosko site ASAP - stay tuned!

Hey Daniel, Scotty is wearing the Tamarack Woodsman pant and Pete is wearing the Canyon II Woodsman pant. The third color we are currently offering is called Obsidian, a black x faded black colorway. I hope you can get your preferred size in your preferred color, these pants are very popular and selling out quickly. We will produce more for next season. Happy trails!

@@MoskoMoto Thanks a lot! I know I'm speculating, but I hope to see supply chains return to normal levels next year and I need the pants only next autumn... So still in good hope I am 😉

Hey Paul, Pete was testing a prototype in this video. We've since updated, improved, and released the Chest Rig. :) Hope this provides some clarity!

Current ETA is July!

Nice!

A big difference between the two is that the Basilisk is fully waterproof, while the Woodsman is not. To put into real life context, most of us here run the Woodsman when we're riding more technical terrain and we know we probably won't run into a lot of weather (rain). The Basilisk is our fully-waterproof touring kit.

@@MoskoMoto more airflow through the woodsman? Amy plans to do them in black?

@@timphoto83ec the Woodsman is more breathable than the Basilisk. We released an all black version of the Woodsman that we hope will be back in-stock this June.

coming soon, stay tuned! (Not promising any dates in an effort not to jinx the shipping x receiving haha)

We recommend sticking with your normal size in the our jersey's :)

coming soon, stay tuned! (Not promising any dates in an effort not to jinx the shipping x receiving haha)

@@MoskoMoto Well take my money. haha Love the equipment.

Hey Richard, not sure what Pete's setup is. We can comment on any Mosko related gear questions you might have though!

Hey Max! Both Pete and Scott are wearing our Woodsman Enduro Pant (in the boot version). Check them out here: moskomoto.com/products/woodsman-enduro-pant

Hey Dennis! We're in the midst of updating the Deluge jacket and pant (new name is the IR Kit). We expect it to be available later this year. Stay tuned!

Scottie was also wearing light waterproof overpants when it was raining like our Barfly Pants. The Woodsman isn't completely waterproof because we still wanted the pants to be able to breathe when you're working hard on the bike. Our name, Mosko Moto, is an abbreviation of "Mosquito Coast" (aka "La Moskitia"), a remote and sparsely-traveled region in Eastern Honduras and Nicaragua.

2 or 3 nights in these conditions would definitely be more challenging. Doable, but... enjoyable?

@@MoskoMoto right. We were on a 10-day trip and ended up with conditions like this in the middle. We opted to bail into a town. I don't know if there is a set of gear that can handle this in a multi-day scenario (even if you pack a bit more).

@@CommieHunter7 tipi tent and a fuel stove you use to dry gears and boots, hanged on the center pole and using some ropes too around to hang socks , gloves,etc... ;) you can even use small pc fan to speed up the process. For sure, kept dry and warm is the only thing which matters

Braaap!

This exactly. You're still bringing just as much stuff, just throw it in the bikes bags instead of putting additional weight on your body. Their packing doesn't make sense to me either.

That is what we thought too when we first tried to do this same thing last year. We found there were many obstacles which we could not climb or traverse (without a helper lifting and pushing) when all the gear was on the bike. Like uphill root and rock sections on a steep hill for example. You can loft the front wheel easily - because the weight on the back of the bike makes it naturally want to flip backwards - but then the over-weighted back tire rams into the obstacle, throwing your body forward and killing your uphill momentum. Someone else then has to come back to help get you over, which takes forever. Same thing on the next obstacle, and the next one. Trail bikes are sensitive to weight being back over the rear fender vs forward and low on the pegs. Also the added width of the larger bags was sketchy on exposed sidehill rock sections where the gear was rubbing on the rocks on one side, and the other side is a steep drop off. It’s slow going. Those were some of the problems we ran into on earlier versions of this trip. On those trips we covered less terrain in two days than we would in a single day of riding the same bikes without gear. We were getting stuck on things we knew we could normally climb. This time, splitting gear between our bodies and the bikes worked much better. It basically felt like two days of trail riding. Putting gear on your body adds physical fatigue, but it affects the bike much less, so you can get up, over, and through stuff that you wouldn’t otherwise. That’s what I’ve found after much trial & error. Your experience may differ of course. Personally I still don’t wear a backpack when I’m touring on a larger bike on mellower terrain, only on small bikes in harder terrain. Hope that helps explain!

Also we just took less gear this time in general. Less extra water, and we poured our extra gas in early and then stashed the empty cans in the woods. We did everything we could unweight the bikes.

@@peterday7704 GOD DAMNIT! Get out of here good guy CEO, with your knowledge and "first hand experience". Let us internet trolls go back to arguing over things we haven't experienced ourselves!!!

@@peterday7704 thank you explanation. it makes sense and it's that i really don't enjoy riding with back pack in any terrain.
