This is by far the best packing guide and the best tips for what to bring on a motorcycle tour i've ever come across. All the stuff you actually need, multi-purpose/combined use, nothing unnecessary and all in a very small volume which could fit on literally any bike. Just all-around very well thought out, thanks for sharing!
On my last big motorbike adventure I rode 24,000km in 98 days ,I had a lot of camping gear packed on the bike but as it turned out I only camped 12 nights ,on my next big trip the camping gear is staying home 👍
Camping is awesome, and we do it all the time in Sweden. But on trips like this, it's awesome to find lodgings along the road and meet people. Pavlin(?) was tight :)
same here. I did wild camping the first time now in the wester Alps, it was awesome. But on the Offroad Tracks i dumped my Camping Stuff and sent it back home. Then i really had fun being almost 8 KGs lighter.
Lynton I recommend bringing a sleeping bag and a bike cover. If it's super nice out you can sleep under the stars and if it isn't sleeping bag and bike cover are 6kg together :)
Looks like you're perfectly equipped. Don't forget to pack earplugs! Pleasant with a loud helmet, or if one of you snores! I'm looking forward to the video afterwards! I wish you a great time and always keep on staying on the top side of the bike.🤘Have fun and rock it!👍
It was interesting to see what you would bring on a motorcycle trip in 2024. For a single person without camping gear I wouldn't consider 30 l luggage light. In 1978 on my first motorcycle trip with my girlfriend as passenger from Denmark to Southern France on a Suzuki GT550 we had our tent, mattresses and sleeping bags in a sailor's sack. Two 25 l panniers were used for other camping gear, stove, clothes, water, food, tools and two stroke oil. Maps, guidebooks and cameras were in the tank bag. It went very well and we continued to use the same recipe for some years - also when my back convinced me to get a motorcycle with a more upright riding position. We also had room to bring back some nice bottles of wine.
On our last trip through the Balkans (5 weeks) we camped a total of 2 nights. It was a huge pain to carry all that garbage up on every trail. Completely understand your decision 🙌
:) Thanks! As mentioned, we love camping but since this is also a cultural journey, staying at small, personal pensions etc enhances that part of the trip and makes more new friends.
If you pass slovenia by any chance, it will be most probable quite near my town, then you are welcome for sleepover at my home. Not a grande hotel, but is good for sleepover for your gang. Maribor, slovenia.
Nice option with the bearings and breakpads - consider to take also spare Clutch and break leaver - those ones are fast to break and hard to get in the middle of nowhere...
Pavlin parody and the lazer printer made me laugh. I can totally confirm Revolut is the best for travelling and in general. It's often the only card which works under all circumstances and changing currencies is just a tap in the App. Withdrawing cash at foreign ATMs come with only small fee or even for free sometimes.
I just found your channel. The algorithm gave me this video of yours. I have subscribed. I like to watch videos by experienced long distance riders. You have given me great ideas, thank you. I’m aiming to buy myself a Himalayan bike soon and I’m stocking up on knowledge before hand. I’ll be watching your journeys with great interest. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Happy riding! Hi from England.👍
Nice video Robert...I like the Pavlin impression!! ( and imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so I'm sure he approved) I'm going get the Enduristan tool 🔧 pack..it looks good 👍. Look forward to seeing this exciting adventure!!. ( Just PLEASE don't use the words ' 5 weeks ' anymore...I'm too envious!!) Cheers, Steve 😊
Thanks Robert a great video. Maybe for your list, a spare ignition key? I lost it one time on a trip and it gives me a lot of trouble. You didn't go anywhere 😂 stay safe on your journey 🤠
Thanx for video, it came right on time to check my self before my trip tomorrow morning. Very similar setup, only we bring tent )). 35 day from croatia to georgia folowing TET. tnx and enjoy maybe I see somewhere in turkey
very nice video! in about one week I'm heading off for a 7 week TET / ACT Offroad trip to spain and as I always try to lose weight you gave me some very useful inputs🙂, thanx and have a good trip!!!
Even though your vest looks tacticool a.f., be aware that hard objects in the pockets can smash your bones and organs in case of a severe crash. Enjoy your trip and I´m looking forward to the epic videos that are about to come.
Good day to you! I am a senior rider on HONDA motorcycle from Japan. I am enjoying camping ,touring and upload video. Your video is so nice! Awesome! Full supported ! Have a nice day my friend!
That was so cool Robert that immitation. You really made him perfect! I was laughing so much. Have a safe trip full of experiences. PS In the next episode pls. immitate Itchy boots!
Thanks for the video. Lots of good info. I am skeptical about two things. 1 The merino wool base layer. I think it will be a lot hotter than a synthetic one. 2. The packing west. I think it will get quite uncomfortable in hotter weather and you will probably wish you just had a tank bag to minimize weight on the body. But let me know how it goes, will follow your videos for sure. I would also recommend a mirrored / darkened visors for the hot riding days. I did a similar trip to yours but also visited Cyprus and kurdistan iraq, highly recommended since you are in the area. Anyways I look forward to the videos.
Thanks. The merino is proven to be cooling so i’m trying it for myself. I have a version made for hot weather. Packvest is a test. I will see how it works. I have a very dark visor. Klim Krios Pro has auto tinting so if no sun it is clear but in sun its black.
Synthetic is hotter and it smells very quickly from body odour. Merino comes in different weights, you get the thick one for winter and thin one for summer. It is really good, doesn't make you sweat when hot and doesn't smell (everything smells after extended periods but Merino takes a longer time). In the really cold weather I think synthetics are a bit warmer but I still use merino for the smell factor. You can do a week without washing it. It isn't magical, just the best option we humans and sheep have come up with. I recommend you give it a go yourself. A bit more expensive but worth it IMO.
Leave the polyester shirt at home Robert. It gets stinky in hot weather really quickly (like one hour). Take a silk shirt instead, it's smarter than Merino and just as odour resitant. Good to see you put a pre-filter on your snorkel! Look forward to seeing your Skydio footage 😀
Dont forget some body powder, it's the best.. Use a lot, groin area and knee's etc, i powder my self for every off road session when i know i will get "moist" LOL
Great. Though, in my opinion, it is always necessary to carry camping gear in case your trip goes the other way, not as planned. Unless to any situation you will rely on rescue
Perhaps if you are a solo traveller in remote areas. We’re hotel hopping and will not carry too much unnecessary stuff. But everyone does what they feel is best. Nothings wrong
Looking very forward to that Skydio footage,the very best drone for motorcycle shots as far as i know... and yes, i love your way of packing, travelling by myself with a 30l bag, though i have to admit, i have not been out there for like 5 weeks ;-)
Great tips! Done only 2 weeks in norway with camping gear and it was pretty fine but then again we stayed on the roads. One thing to point out, if you truly need all of this gear and spare parts for the bike I would highly recommend a bigger first aid kit (looked like one of Lifesystems smaller ones). If you truly go to places where you will have hard time getting out or find mechanic, you probably are far away from any health central or hospital. Speaking as a paramedic (ambulanssjuksköterska), next video show a larger first aid kit😎 Only time I have my own tourniquet is when riding a motorcycle for example😉 But even trivial thing like a bad stomach or a sprain can ruin a trip.
Hi Fredrik, I carry pills for diarrhoea, had a bad experience filling up the inside of motorbike pants once! Can you recommend anything else for stomach? New foods in new locations sometimes get to me, particularly Asia where things might not be as clean as the more sterile western world. Thanks
@@d.Cog420 I bring loperamide to take if my stomach decides to speed up so to say. That is when you already got diarrhea but doesn’t prevent it even though it makes it more manageable. To prevent it is usually harder depending on where you are. Food/water is usually the cause and as you sure know can be really bad. If you are more in the wilderness and taking water from a stream something to purify it like or/and boil it is a safe and cheap way.
Less is more, but then you're in a far away country. In my experience you rarely need the things you brought with you ;-) Sort of Murphy's law. Cheers from my way to ACT/TET Pyrenees on a venerable Transalp 600, Günter, Nürnberg/Germany
I use revolut for more than 3 4 years now. It is good, only one comment here. You do not have to convert the money within revolut to local curenciees, just use normaly like at home, revolut do all the rest at wery good conversion rate.
Check Montenegro,its very popular moto destination.U can also catch plane and rent moto here because from Sweden u have around 3000km.My friend live in Stotholm and nave house in Budva town,we also ride when he is here😊
A weeks trip across Europe. I take clothing that's light. I can wash it in the shower with me and it dries out quickly too. I use a 25ltre roll sack, small tank bag and a leg bag for documents. Bum bag for waterproofs. My 2003 Kawasaki ZX9R did well. 😁👍🏻
Go well. I’ll miss you - 5 weeks, wow, that some trip. How many of you going on it? Thought you might have spare riding socks, a light cap for the sun, sleeping clothing, a proper towel……you’ve packet so little 😀
Nice thing this dji disk as you don't need laptop but by looking at the price ($459) I could buy 5TB (10x512GB) of storage in microSD - which is smaller, lighter and provides greater redundancy.
Hi @Nomad Sweden. Nice video with some very valueable ideas for efficiently packing the bike. I saw that you are using metal sheets at the rear end of your bike for mounting some smaller bags. Can you please tell me which company does produce them and where you bought them. Thanks in advance.
Hey, Robert! Great content as always! Quick question concerning the Revolut thing: which level would you recommend/did work out per your experience traveling through the Balkans? Premium? Plus?
On that trip we all used the free level. I upgraded to Metal before we went to africa to get all the insurance for rentals, flights, medical etc. But free work good too
nice video, and nice light packaging. i still dont understand how you plan to use the waterproof jacket if its warm. coming from someone who lives and rides in hot Greek weather, putting a waterproof jacked when its 40 degrees, you are guaranteed to have a heatstroke while riding. your mesh jacket is the best solution. you can also wet your buff and your tshirt every hour or so, and let them cool you through evaporation enjoy your adventure and stay safe ;)
I havent tried it but if over 40 degrees people say to isolate the body from all air since body is cooler than outside. Thats the advice i have. Learning as we go
@@NomadSweden the problem is that the sun will eventually overheat you, since there is no ventilation. true, at 40C you will constantly feel hot, but the evaporation of your sweat through a mesh jacket is the only way to keep your body temp regulated. as you said, you will figure it out along the way. just remember the "wet buff and t-shirt" trick. it really makes a difference ;)
Thanks! Yes, we bring a bottle between the bikes so it's not on my bike. But I don't lube often. Only if I need to clean it from mud etc or if it looks oxidated.
Hi there. There is a bit of an unneeded complication here regarding your mentioned Revolut plan. You don't really need to convert any EUR to Turkish Liras, for example, because as you mentioned, there are practically no exchange fees with Revolut. So, there is no point in exchanging some larger chunk of money to Liras, only to pay from your Revolut Lira account, when you could be paying smaller amounts from your Revolut EUR account directly at the POS terminals. It comes down to this: You don't know how many Liras you'd need for the trip, so you will either have to do several conversions along the way, or you don't do any conversions, and you let Revolut (or any other bank whose card you have) do those conversions for you on the fly. There are so many other things that you have to worry about while traveling, exchanging money to a local currency (we're not talking about cash) shouldn't be one of them :) Plus, the legislation of some countries might not allow you to open a local currency Revolut account unless you can back it up with some paperwork (residence in a country - I think I saw that with the Romanian Leu).
Hello Robert and friends, I wish you a wonderful trip with great experiences. Stay healthy and stay away from alphalt and tin. I will follow you on Instagram and can't wait to see your travel videos. Enjoy, Jörg
Good question :) 1. The T7 does not come with TL so I just haven't changed. 2. I have not had a flat in 63.000km. 3. My tubeless friends have problems with leaking much more often. Cheers!
"Thank you Pavlin" 🤣🤣🤣 You made made day 😆 Good luck with your trip !
I hope if he sees it, it's made as a tribute. :)
@@NomadSweden let's make sure he sees it :D
@@NomadSweden Of course We all know... ✌️ Similar to: "Good morning Internet it's 8:40" 😝 Chill Dude!
@@NomadSweden I saw it and I like the accent! Come to Bulgaria, I will give you a few Bulgarian lessons.

So think you'll get around to reviewing how your kit worked out? A truthful debriefing about how practical your gear was in hindsight would be gold.
Really good tips. Your Pavlin impersonation was so good I was sure I was watching the man himself. Safe trip and fun trip to all of you.
Thanks Andrew 😊

@@NomadSweden safe to park, dead end street and think enough place in house for everybody, just modest home.
Thanks for sharing. Awesome imitation of Pavlin, he'll be proud.
Turkey is in my radar for next year. Have a good trip.
🙏
Pavlin moment was great! Someday, maybe you will meet Pavlin for a little trip together and a video of course!
You really nailed the pavlin crossover, safe travels from Norway
The trip sounds great, good luck. Enjoy it !!!! Gus

Hehe I will try. Just need some mascara :)
Thanks for the video. Lots of good info.
I am skeptical about two things.
1 The merino wool base layer. I think it will be a lot hotter than a synthetic one.
2. The packing west. I think it will get quite uncomfortable in hotter weather and you will probably wish you just had a tank bag to minimize weight on the body.
But let me know how it goes, will follow your videos for sure.
I would also recommend a mirrored / darkened visors for the hot riding days.
I did a similar trip to yours but also visited Cyprus and kurdistan iraq, highly recommended since you are in the area. Anyways I look forward to the videos.
Thanks. The merino is proven to be cooling so i’m trying it for myself. I have a version made for hot weather.
Packvest is a test. I will see how it works.
I have a very dark visor. Klim Krios Pro has auto tinting so if no sun it is clear but in sun its black.

Great video, I hope the trip goes (or went) well!
It would be so cool if you add guardian angel device on the strap of your vest
This is what im planning to do
Leave the polyester shirt at home Robert. It gets stinky in hot weather really quickly (like one hour). Take a silk shirt instead, it's smarter than Merino and just as odour resitant. Good to see you put a pre-filter on your snorkel! Look forward to seeing your Skydio footage 😀

You don't know how many Liras you'd need for the trip, so you will either have to do several conversions along the way, or you don't do any conversions, and you let Revolut (or any other bank whose card you have) do those conversions for you on the fly.
There are so many other things that you have to worry about while traveling, exchanging money to a local currency (we're not talking about cash) shouldn't be one of them :)
Plus, the legislation of some countries might not allow you to open a local currency Revolut account unless you can back it up with some paperwork (residence in a country - I think I saw that with the Romanian Leu).
Cheers 👍🏻
Hello Robert and friends, I wish you a wonderful trip with great experiences. Stay healthy and stay away from alphalt and tin. I will follow you on Instagram and can't wait to see your travel videos.
Enjoy, Jörg
Thanks Jörg
Thanks for contents.
Why you don't use tubeless wheels?
Good question :)
1. The T7 does not come with TL so I just haven't changed.
2. I have not had a flat in 63.000km.
3. My tubeless friends have problems with leaking much more often.
Cheers!
