Did enjoy it! Thanks for taking the time to drag all your stuff out for the show'n tell (and for suffering through the heat and all the trouble of packing it all back up again). This is the first video of yours I've caught--I'll be sure to take a look at the rest of them.
thank you for taking us along with you. very cool to see what you packed. looking forward to my first camping ride and I’ll be referencing this video when i start picking out gear :)
Thanks for putting all this effort into this video. Helpful info. Hope your trip went well. Might want to put another video up about what you learned from your trip. I am hoping to do a major trip next year.
Thanks for the comment! The trip was amazing! The video series is partly out, working on editing episode 5 right now if you want to go check that out. I do learn a lot and I do plan on recording something to that effect for sure. If you're planning something, my only recommendation is that you just do it. Cheers!
Thanks so much for the great video on the gear you are taking with you on your BC trip,,,looking forward to seeing some video;;s of this adventure,,,stay safe!
Fabulous setup! I would look at putting the tool kit on the back of one of the big bags and move the small bag to one of the 6l mini bags using molle. Just a thought..
I did have the same idea! This season, what I did was take the tall bag I didn't know what to do with and put it on the back of the right side motobag. I then moved the mini bag that was on there and stacked the two minis onto the back of the left side motobag. Thanks for watching!
Great video…and fun. Always interesting to see how other pack for trips, organize etc. if I may sir, your first aid kit. Please consider adding a tourniquet, quickclot, cloth bandage roll and an Israeli bandage or two. Let’s hope you never need it but you should have with you.
@@billwaterhouse5894 No need for that around here ;) That said, if I were taking a trip in very remote areas, I'd take a sat-com device and some bear spray! Cheers.
Not for 🐻 I’m retired LEO…I was talking about the two legged kind. I don’t know your country of course, but here we have our share of issues that’s for sure. Safe travels my friend
@@billwaterhouse5894 Come visit! We'd be glad to have you and the currency exchange rate is advantageous. People here just don't pack. We hunt and everything but gun violence is, in relative terms, non-existant.
Thank you for your tips on packing gear on a big trip. Just bought a Gsa today. Looking into luggage options as we speak. Do the lone rider crashbar bags scratch up your paintjob on the crashbars and/or fairings? Kind regards
I enjoyed this video. I am Swedish, in North Carolina, moving soon to Mexico where there are tons of trails, gravel roads, tractor paths and camping. Will buy bike there, looking at Tiger, KTM or Husqvarna Norden. Liked and subscribed.
I love the aluminium top case. Easy to use and very conveniant. I went with the all-around option for when I get better and want to travel more off-road. I also really love the overlander. The small version fits on a plane as a carry-on and is the perfect size to fit onto the passenger seat, in front of the top case. I'll try and get a full review out at some point!
Hello , im interrested buying the 48lt overlander and i also want my top case on at all times , i didnt understand whats the issue with the bigger bag and since you have it can you make a video show the issues and see how it looks ?
Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I'll try and record that for you. Main issue is the 48L in front of the hard top case is too bulky.. I'll show you a couple of options.
Thanks for the question! I've done some reading on this and have experimented a little bit because I do drive my car with polarised lenses. I find that polarised lenses, because they eliminate glare, make it more difficult to me to identify changes in road texture or the presence or moisture on the road surface. Road paint and some road repair materials can become extremely slippery when wet and I want to be able to see that. For example, most high-end cycling glasses are non-polarised. I apply the same logic on the motorcycle. Also, they can affect the way I can see LCD screens like my GPS. The TFT Display on the BMW isn't a problem, though. Hope this answers your question. Thanks for watching!

@@CharlesEtienneAuger I experienced the same ... I used to take way too many stuff with me, so now I have the habit to leave the things I haven't used the last trip, at home. It works well ;-).

Great vid...appreciate the view into your packing and explanation of why.

Thanks for watching! I'm on the trip as we speak! I'm in Kamloops. So far, its the trip of a lifetime!
Lots of Christmas gifts in there! 👏👏👏
Super useful content! Thanks for publishing this!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Very nice video hope you had a good time !
Great vid, what size of seal line deck bag is that 20L or 30L?
Those are 20L. Thanks!

Yes sir. I’d recommend a .45 of choice as well…but 🇨🇦 is a bit different the the 🇺🇸 I understand 😉

I'll be using aluminum panniers - but have my eye on the smaller Lone Rider Overlander like you're using. Would love a review!

so.. why not polarized lenses???

Why you don't like polarised glasses?

How many years are you away for with that much luggage 🤔
Haha two weeks, actually! I used most of it but it's a learning process and every trip is a re-evaluation. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesEtienneAuger I experienced the same ... I used to take way too many stuff with me, so now I have the habit to leave the things I haven't used the last trip, at home. It works well ;-).
As soon as I can save $24,000, I’m buying that bike.
Sounds like a plan!
way too much stuff, people should learn too travel with less shit
I did trim it down just a little bit and some things stay home for short trips. I was going cross country here. Thanks for the feedback.
