The gear I use
I’m a minimalist guy. Less is more for me. So I travel light, very light, even in a long journey. Here all my stuff.
Clothing for Riding and Casual
My clothing will be dependant on what the climate will be like where I am traveling. But keep everything to a minimum, super minumum. You can divide everything up into two areas of clothing, riding gear and casual gear. For my thermals, I used Dainese and would highly recommend this, is the best.
Clothing for riding
KTM adv or enduro suite
KTM internal jacket (also for free time)
KTM technical T-shirt
KTM technical socks
KTM nekwind
Arai Touring X4 helmet or Shoei Hornet
Sena bluetooth 10C Evo
Oakley googles
Casual Clothing
1 Jeans, 2 T-shirt, 2 pair os sox, sneakers.
Light hoodie
Swimsuit and flip flop
Cap & sunglasses
NOTHING MORE !
Tools
At some stage, you will be required to use your tools. For me, it was nearly every other day. In my tool box, I had everything I needed to fix most of the things you encounter each day. Each morning before my ride I would do a simple check over my whole bike, in the end, it just became routine.
For my tires, I had the tools I needed to repair a tire of a hole or puncture, to inflate it (mini compressor), I use tubeless tires.
I also had a custom designed toolkit for my bike so that I could fix any loose nuts and bolts (part of my daily check) and even though I did this, I did lose a couple along the way!
I also carried mini WD40, Chain Lube, Brake Fluid, Clutch Fluid and one kg of engine oil and coolant.
Camping Gear
If you are going to be camping you will need lightweight camping gear. You will 100% need to test these out, especially if you are going to be camping a lot as that will be the difference between an enjoyable day or a nightmare. I went through two different types of tents and sleeping bags on my testing before I finally got what I wanted.
So here is a basic list:
MSR Hubba Hubba tent 2pax (I love to sleep in a guud space) and footprint or
MSR Advance Pro 2 ultralight tent (for the worse climate condition) and footprint
Inflatable Pillows
Lightweight Quality Sleeping bag Hyke&Bike
USB lamp (in the evening I write and read into the tent)
Hammock ultralight by Hyke&bike
IT - I am minimal also here. I go cloud. I store all my pictures and video in the cloud. Easy like a pie.
If you are going to be shooting videos and photography each day you want to make sure you have something to edit it with. For a computer, I had an old Macbook Air which was lightweight and at first powerful enough. However, this started having issues and I needed to buy another one. Not ideal! You will also soon realize you will not be able to upload the photos and videos each day, but you will need somewhere to store it all.
So here is a basic list of Camera Equipment I used
GoPro hero 9 Black Action Cameras
iPhone 13 Mini
iPad mini
Dash cameras (front and rear) Innovv K2
Charging Cables and adaptor for all
And finally, after all, remember that the two important thing to carry with you all the time are your passport and your credit card.
