Just returned from a weekend camping trip myself and was watching your video. Thanks, I’m considering buying the Mosko system myself so your experience provides a lot of good information. You mentioned it is a chore to inflate your sleeping pad. I use a “SEATOSUMMIT Confort light” self-inflating pad. It is bullet-proof, only takes a few breaths to top it off for max firmness, and appears to pack smaller than the one you have. I recommend it….Keep up the good work and keep the vidoes coming.
The Mosko stuff was great for the trip. I have been happy with each item I have purchased from them and their customer service for any issues has been exemplary. I saw the S2S pad you mentioned and that seems like a REALLY nice option to replace mine. Right now, I have managed to fix the inflation portion but if I run into problems again, I will certainly go that route. Thank you for the suggestion. I am working on the MABDR video now and it might have some more fun portions for you coming up. Thanks for checking in on the channel.
Look forward to the footage of the MABDR! A couple of us are planning a trip to Prudhoe Bay the summer of 2022 and thought about the MABDR as a pre-cursor...maybe this year. I'm planning of getting Triumph Tiger 1200 this month and will need to get some saddle time!
I don't know what the Prudhoe Bay route looks like as I have never done it but I do think MABDR is the perfect off-road start BDR. It is fun, not too difficult and has enough challenge to make it worthwhile as a training exercise. Heading to Alaska sounds amazing but if you are looking for something local to warm up, then I would say then MABDR is a great option. I am hoping to have the movie done very soon so stay tuned.
@@BeGoneForGood so you always jam your sleeping bag and tent into the drybag without compression sac or tent bag? Are you always satisfied with this méthod ?
Lookin good buddy. I didn’t see hair care, blow drier or water bath foot massager. Tank bag maybe? 😜 j/k devil dog. Hey I just got some (high-speed low drag tactical, naturally) “web dominator” PALS compatible strap management/shock cord things for managing extra straps. Find ‘em online but work great and super easy to see if all dangling straps are cleaned up. Just a tip. I think Mosko has built-in Velcro ones but for other non mosko straps I mean...
I don't talk about the luxury items that are inevitably included for fear that they would crush the image of the rugged Marine adventurer you see on the channel. Can we not be civilized killers?!? I love the bungee cord strap keepers. I have a bag of Bongo Ties in my tank bag but the ones with a locking closure are even better. Thank you so much for your continued support and for always making me hungry on IG.
RUclips was right. The next video was of great interest to me but I beat them to it, watched it earlier. Upcoming is my first big motorcycle trip. 70 days but not ADV, Royal Enfield Interceptor 650, camping but in approved sights, no campfires, want showers, all the pleasures of home, but in a tent. Taking a week or so worth of food like pop-top beans & weenies, veggies and food bars knowing I will replenish along the way, and a few restaurants. I know clothes are a personal thing. Currently, I've got stuffed in one 40 liter Givi 2 extra jeans, 5 shirts & undershorts & socks, and of course planning to hit a laundromat when fellow campers complain. Since this is a first time for me this long any, comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Great video. I hope I enjoy this enough so that the next trip I'll, "Be Gone For Good". Thanks!
This is an awesome post and I am so sorry it took me this long to get back to you. First off, congratulations on a big trip like this. That is a huge commitment and step into the void. I applaud you for taking it on. It is very tough to give you any advice at this point because it is different for everyone. I can tell you though that you will probably have more than you really need but that is only because it is true for all of us the first time out. I still over pack pretty routinely but I am getting better. This first time it is understandable because you value comfort over forgetting or missing something. As you progress down this line though you will find that you could probably drop about 40-60% of your stuff and make do with other options. That, to me, is part of the fun of these kinds of trips. If I could offer up one super general suggestion, drop any backup that isn't totally essential. For instance, I used to bring two pairs of pants...just in case. Dump that second pair. Same with any other clothes that aren't paramount (extra shirts, underwear, sweatshirts...whatever). Parse down the electronics as much as possible as well. They tend to always get in the way. Good luck and please let us know how everything goes on your trip.
Did you install a fork air dam on your AT? I have the same Mosko tank bag and was curious how the straps would work with the air dam in place. Thanks for the video. The Reckless 80 is finally back in stock. I just ordered mine today.
I do have the air dam on the AT and it makes attaching the straps a little tougher. It isn’t a problem after install at all. I detach the bag all the time so as long as you keep the top straps always installed it’s only the first time that is a little struggle. You are going to love the R80, especially since the new one is super incredible. Have fun.
Nothing to eat? Where goes food and water? For two 1l water bottles I have attached two holsters on the front of the R80 side parts, that gives me easy access to water. Cooking gear: everything that does not like getting crushed by the weight of a bike lying on it (experience taught me) goes to the top of the luggage. Pots are one good example. Tent: why pack it in the waterproof side bags? Mine goes into the original stuff sack and on the top behind the R80. The tent does not need to be packed waterproof, the original stuff sack protects it sufficiently. And if you stuff it really wet into one side bags, everything else in there will be wet later. With the tent out, I have sufficient volume for food in the side bag. One tip regarding beer cans: the side bags keep water out, but also the content of a crushed beer can inside. If you then have by coincidence your towel in there too... No, that’s not fun! ;-)
Great tips for the beer cans. I didn't ever consider that but now I won't make that mistake. When we grabbed food for the night, it was often the last gas stop of the day, right before we headed to camp. From there I would just stuff it in an open space of wrap it in the beaver tail. I wouldn't generally bring freeze dried stuff on the trail or at least not so much as to need extra space. That is mostly because if given another option for fresh food over freeze dried, I will take it. I do think if I had to consider packing extra food it might change the way I packed everything else. As far as the tent, I like stuffing into the sack because it gives me more flexibility than going back into the stuff sack. If it is dry it can go in the sack. If not, I generally just stuff it in the bottom of the leg and the dry bag goes over top of it. I like that it fits wherever it needs to and doesn't have a dedicated area on the back of the bike. It probably works either way but I am a fan of this method right now. I am thinking of bringing a pot on the next trip which will demand a different packing method. It will be interesting to see how that works out when the time comes. Thank you again for the advice and checking in on the channel.
Nothing changes really. The whole “dry bag” can essentially be wet with my cook gear on the bottom in its own dry bag. If everything is wet or dirty, it just goes right in with the hopes that we can dry out at the next stop.
good idea to just stuff the sleeping bag, tent and ground cover as-is into the bag - I waste a lot of time trying to roll and pack those, which actually makes no sense - and pegs/other pointy stuff out of the main bags - simply rockstrapped to a spot on the frame
I don’t know if this makes me seriously gross or not but I take three sets of clothes with me. 3 shirts, 3 pairs of socks, 3 pairs of underwear... This trip I only used two shirts and two underwear. All three socks were used.
Be Gone For Good hahahaha! To each his own, I'm about to do the ORBDR and planning to take 4 days of clothes and wash them in a river along the way. My packing also takes this long, I hate it, trying to find a way to make it more efficient

Yeah, it’s original but interesting ideas on how to pack your package ! 🙂
It is a constant evolution but, for me, this is the best way I know how to do it.

ha, voilà la vidéo que je cherchais depuis quelques temps. Super ! merci !
Je suis si heureux d'entendre cela. Merci beaucoup d'avoir regardé et je vous souhaite la meilleure des chances.
@@BeGoneForGood I tried to pack jammed. My sleeping bag is definiyively too big...
Thanks for the great vid and links.
Absolutely. Thanks for tuning in. There will be a lot more reviews coming your way for 2021.

I run my straps under the air dam. Tight but not too bad.

If your tent, fly and ground sheet are wet then what do you do?
Nothing changes really. The whole “dry bag” can essentially be wet with my cook gear on the bottom in its own dry bag. If everything is wet or dirty, it just goes right in with the hopes that we can dry out at the next stop.
Hi Chad, thanks for the MABDR videos. What is the name of the iPhone app you used to follow the track? Thanks
It is called Gaia Maps and I am a huge fan of the layout.
Cannot camp without my Woobie!
It is an absolute must for any camping I do...it is like a security blanket at this point.

I started doing it more out of necessity because I over pack all the time. Since then, I have just found it a much easier way to go and stuck with it.
How many days of change clothes do you typically take with you?
I don’t know if this makes me seriously gross or not but I take three sets of clothes with me. 3 shirts, 3 pairs of socks, 3 pairs of underwear...
