I cooked two lobster with fresh new PEI potatoes and corn on the cob in Cavendish on my Atlantic Canada motorcycle trip. I sat the corn on the bottom of my pot, ripped the tails and claws off and stuffed them in the pot and steamed the works. Tasted great and cost under $25 and it was in the same cookset you have!
Thats is incredible. I'm always so impressed at how well people cook out in the field. I'm a terrible camp cook. From Mr noodles, to cold rations, I'm definitely on a lower cooking level, lol. I'm glad your trip was great!
@@IslandADV One thing I discovered that works great on the motorcycle is boiled eggs, especially if your with a buddy. Buy a 12 pack, boil then all in the morning, have 3 each for a good breakfast then you can keep the other three boiled eggs for a few days without worrying about them going bad. There great to add to a dehydrated meal, salad or ramen, handy as a snack or if you get to camp late. They take up no space and no big deal if they get crushed
"Just because it's there" is good enough reason for me to go somewhere. 😂 I like your gear setup videos, I may do some of my own........that don't involve me burning something to the ground. I've been reducing pack down size of all of my stuff so that I can carry less weight and bulk. Holy hell, the cost of things increases exponentially to save a few ounces and litres of space. I now have a Rumpl pillowcase that I stuff my clothes into to make my pillow. I had been using an air pillow but I just don't find them comfortable. Also, my mini air pump doubles as my tent lantern. The more things I can find multiple uses for the better! Good luck with the freeze dried meals.........it takes a lot of trial and error to find good ones. Cheers!
Spoiler on the freeze dried meals. They were/are terrible, lol. I tried one first night in camp and I threw the other in the trash the next day. Wow they were bad. I'm starting to get to the point where I need to reduce pack size too. But some of the comfort items in this loadout were so nice this year. Especially after the ride days were so unforgiving with respect to temperature and rain. I liked the air pillow a lot, I learned the secret was to air it down slightly to make it more comfortable. Cheers.
@@IslandADV Peak Refuel are the good ones but they’re $20-$25 each. I only carry one for a trip just in case I can’t find anything on the road. Came in handy in Cartwright where the only restaurant in town shut down 15 minutes before we showed up.
Awesome ! Some good tips !! Thx for sharing !
You're welcome. My kit changes a lot, but there are some core elements that are standards. Also, those meal packs were terrible, lol. I had one the first night, and I trashed the other one.
Let the ride begin...on to the Gaspe...let Quebec be forewarned....the Island boys are coming...looking forward to the series....Thanks, Eric for allowing me to come along. Remember, the best videos begin with...watch this! 😁😁
Lol, Watch us try to turn our bikes into submarines on the first day. But yes, let the adventure begin. Originally I was planning on starting this series next month, but I thought, what the heck, it's too fun to wait.
Oooh yeah, let the adventure begin!! Love the plan and pack out vids, it’s interesting to see how the gear evolves with each journey, and this one sounds very mystical. Cool vid, Cheers brother, keep well!
Definitely a different journey this year for sure. The mission for this one was vague, but it turned out to be the most relatable one. Comfort was the goal for this load out this season and I'm so glad I went in that direction too. The comfy sleeps in camp certainly recovered me from the uncomfy ride days, lol. Cheers buddy.
I like your format of planning out trips. Objectives are important. Too many times I've riden with no idea what it is I'm looking for..crazy. Your gear is minimalist for bike carrying capacity, too many fail here and find out too late that their bikes overloaded. I'm going to enjoy watching this trip . Great job!! Dave
Yes, I really enjoy having a bit of a story to chase. It makes it fun and gives the trip a bit of an adventurous feel.
I'm always trying to balance some comfort with simplicity in what I pack. Less can be more when you're not worrying about a ton of kit, and you're able to focus more on the fun.
This looks like a dope trip. I need to get out more next summer.
It's such a good trip despite all the crazy things that happened.
Love that you still have the melmac mug as part of your mess/cook kit. I bring my old issued one on every motocamping trip. Thanks for the great gear vid, always looking for new ideas on load out. Can’t wait to see the Gaspé ride.
It's my all-time favourite mug! I found it deep in an old stores room once, and a kind Quarter Master let me keep it when I asked. It goes everywhere now. On the motorcycle or hanging off my rucksack.
@@IslandADV I’ve had mine since joining in ‘03 and it has followed me (along with my KFS) throughout my career even overseas to “The Sandbox” with 2RCR in ‘07. Great piece of kit that I use on every moto adventure.
The KFS! Another piece of iconic kit, lol. Look closely, and you'll see mine attached to the back of the jet boil, lol.
I am excited to be able to follow you along on your trip in Gaspé. There is a lot of pre-work that needs to take place before such a long trip. Longest trip I ever did was a 3 day trip. As I never had an adventure motorcycle, my real estate is more limited and have to sacrifice comfort for space.
I love your setup. When you were talking about the fuel going boom if stored in the luggage on the exhaust side, I couldn't help but think about the video of @506motoadv where it happened to him. Yikes!
Great video as always. Cheers!
Lol, yes. And I used to put it all on the exhaust side until I saw that video of his.
But you're right. Lots of planning. I made that whole route card doc for this that I sent you way back, but I'll say we barely used it. The TQT app was the star of this show. We really just used that app for pretty much the whole trip once we got to Quebec.
I’m happy to know that others were able to learn from my mistakes! 😂
Cooking stuff goes on the non exhaust side! Brilliant! Not sure how I’ve never even considered that. Great tip!
Oh yeah man. That's a protip I picked up from my buddy James. Here's how he found out the hard way. Lol.

Great video , i bought a 22 adv i want to do some cool adventures , maybe not camping at this stage , but great to see your gear layed out , and the things you take . Cheers
Congrats on the new bike! I like starting a trip with video like this every year as my kit keeps changing, and depending on the adventure, there's sometimes more or less kit too. I hope you're having some fun rides and adventures on your machine. Cheers!
well prepared kit. your experience shows. how do you call out for ems? inreach,spot or cell? fuel on exhaust side does make an exciting video. but that walk of shame though. sounds like it's going to be a great trip.
I don't have an in-reach but this trip made me consider it for the future. We had absolutely no cell service for about 60 % of the trip. Once we got to the trans-quebec trail (TQT), the service was gone until we moved into civilization. While both of us are first aid trained, I'm thinking some kind of emergency call system is going to be needed if we do this again, which we most certainly will.
@@IslandADV being first aid trained is definitely a must. we've used a spot for fifteen years. of course it does you no good if it's left at home when needed.
Goodmoring great video thank you very well done. I have two GL bags one on each front crash bars first aid kit one side and spare tube tire kit in the other. They stay on the bike.is your knife a Boker ? I collect knives. Thanks again cheers to ya.
That old knife has been with me for over 20 years now. I think it's actually a very old Cold Steel hunting knife. I bought from my brother back in high school. I'd like to get some crash bar bags, if for nothing else than to weigh the front down just a bit. The trade off with loading up the rear like this is that the front end is up. That makes the bike susceptible to speed wobble, which is something Brandon found out on the road to Quebec. Cheers.
Love the set up. Can you go into how you attached your quad lock to your dash? Did you buy the square ball mount system and then just drill in? Thnx.
Thanks. I bought the handle bar mount and just used some leftover over hardware to mount it to the dash riser. The riser has pre drilled holes, so I disassembled the mount and made it work.
I see other guys with far less or far more than and I wonder how the hell they do it.
That's exactly why I do this as the first episode of every big trip series. For me, the trip drives the loadout. Weekend trip? Super light. 10 days? Heavier with some consumables being able to be rotated on the road. I don't think there is a one size fits all apporach. For me, it's more like "choose your own adventure".
