Complete overkill. As the legend goes: Before you pack to leave put all your gear, bags and equipment on your living room floor and then place your cash next too it. Next, remove at least half of your gear, then double the amount of cash and you are good to go :)
At some point , you should ask yourself if your still on a motorcycle ? All I carry is a Drago tactical back pack with a hydration bladder inside . It fits everything I need , including clean undies for every day . Ditch the tent , and find an enclosed hammock !! Saves tons of room , and they sleep world's better = ) I also use a fanny pack for my tools , which can also be attached to most rear fenders if you don't want to wear it . I bet all those bags cost thousands of dollars to outfit a motorcycle the way this one is . Not to mention how it must affect the handling of the ride . All you need is a back pack people !! = / Guy looks like he's riding a friggin hotel = D
Yep. I use a British Army rucksack and it's detachable pouches. This is bullshit for Americans that like to buy stuff. I've gone massive distances on a much smaller bike with less than half this stuff. Doubt he strays from Starbucks. Depressing really.
I don't know where you saw the gallon zip lock system, but, I was taught that system about 25 yrs ago, by my sergeant who was an artillery crewman for a time. Another tip, roll socks and underwear into a shirt for each day, roll it up dirty with the socks on the outside so you know what's clean/dirty. My two cents. Great vid, btw, thanks.
Great tips! Thanks Norsefalconer for sharing. ~Vinny
Thanks for a straight forward and unbiased review. Helped a lot.
Great vid. Always good to see what people are karting around and why. I'm new and still learning. Thanks for the effort. 👍
Thanks for sharing, you did a great job of showing how to load a bike for a trip.
Adding to the gallon Ziplock system: smash the air out of your bag and then close it. You can compress each bag down to about 2/3s of its size and save a ton of room (coming from a newly retired Army infantryman of 21 years).
When I was young a sleeping bag stapped to the back of the old Harley would do for camping. Two bottles of peppermint schnapps in the saddle bags was dinner. Of course that was back in the 70s and 80s. I was young and bullet proof. Now it's all about comfort. I no longer take my Harley off road. And I can't ride more than an hour or so without stopping nor more than a couple hours a day. My back just can't do it. But can't do it in a car either. But the old Heritage is more comfortable than the car. I've been thinking of a crf250l for riding around in desert around the house and learned as a kid to take supplies as you never know when you may be spending the night because of breakdown or any other unforseen issue. Its amazing what you can pack now. Thanks!
That sounds like a great time, I'd love to see a Harley off road! But you are smart, you never know what could happen to you on a trip. Thanks for sharing that and for watching.
@@rmatvmc It was never single track or anything that difficult but dirt roads were something to be explored.
Yup, the older we get, the more comfort we need😎
has given me some ideas for items I should be carrying... thanks,
Thanks for the suggestions!
Great video! Really appreciate your work in showing us all of this
+ADV Tour Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for your comment!
I thought this was very well done. Every detail was covered here where the other " what to pack" videos were lacking. Thank you!
Thanks *Tad!*
I'd probably carry less as I'm different as we all are but this is the most informative video I've seen out of hundreds. You hit a lot of points and explain how and why. It builds a timeline for the trip and breaks down how everything fits. From this I can visualize my own personal needs and how to suit them. Thanks for the video.
That's awesome to hear. As long as it works for your needs, that's all that matters!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for posting ...helpful info for me in considering what to pack....I might do it a little differently...but insight like this based on your experience is very useful
I use to pack like that now I bring half of that. Around the world trip solo maybe. Also if you ride with few guys you could share quite a few things.
Pfft. You don't know what your talking about dude. To do it right you must have most of not all of these Wildman bags.
@@JohnSmith-yw4bh amen brother!
Kudos.Amazing setup.Most organised person.Welcome to the club.
Thanks *Jeet Kandhari!* ..very organized :)
good suggestions but I think you are missing one important thing. first aid
There would be room for one if you ditched the electric pump for a more compact and reliable bicycle pump
Or he can strap it to the front fender
I use a seal-a-meal for all my clothes etc it really helps with space in my bags. Awsome set up
+John Behmer That's cool! Thanks for sharing.
Great set up. Thank you for the ideas
Very helpful. Thanks.
I really like this vid. It's cool to see all the little things and favorite gear.
great information! thanks!
Thanks for the video. Can't wait to ride. Just got my permit today.
+TeslaRoadsterSpud That's awesome! See you on the roads :)
i appreciate you guys a ton 🤙🏼
I'd consider also taking these: .....Paper towel, white cotton shop towels, or micro-fiber cloths for wiping up spills, etc. distress whistle, water filter, and a metal cup for boiling up more, for drinking. nail clippers, and file, and first aid kit. reflective survival blankets, maps, compass, and GPS + batteries, (and solar battery charger?), tire pump, electrical tape, and good pocket knife/multi-tool, pencil and paper.
Great Video Men! Thanks!
I've ordered so much stuff from rockymountain, nice to see where my money is going !
Love your vids! Great stuff - keep 'em coming!!! :)
Thanks!
You realize you would do great just backpacking!?! Good job working out everything.
smart setup, a lot of similarities .your right everyone has their own way of travel and that the best part of why we do this
I know you are trying to show all the items you sell but if I had to take all that crap I would take my motorhome and tow the bike .
if youre worried, just stay home, I'll gladly enjoy the backcountry with one less person in it ;)
Very in formative video thank you
Thank you for checking it out! Glad you enjoyed it.
Nice video, and I did learn some things, but there is no way I would take all of that stuff. Too many bags, too many items, just too cumbersome. Glad it works for you though. Thanks.
Hey Eric. Nice job! One item that I was thinking about when it comes to water is a filtration kit. I have a filtration kit that is the size of a water bottle. I also didn't see a camp stove. Maybe you mentioned it. I take a camp stove that will run on any type of fuel. Again, it is the size of a water bottle.
+Adam Bashore Thanks, glad you enjoyed our video. We like to use the Jetboil Cooking System when we're out adventure riding.
Thanks, It be nice if you put a product list with what and where you got everything you've packed. Nice pack
Great vid and thanks for the tips.That bike is pretty tall as it is and with the bag on the seat seems like getting on and off would be a bit of chore. Happy Trails ya'll !!
It's on a stand
Subscribed, great video!
That's awesome! Thanks for subscribing. Glad you like the video.
C’mon everyone, you know that Rocky Mountain videos are just sales ads. No need for all the negative comments - you already knew what was going to happen, lol.
Thanks 👍👍
I never seen so many negative people in my life, you can take anything you want. I bet 90% don't ever leave your house let alone leave for a few days. I take a lot of the stuff he uses only because thats what I want to take for a 3 day trip in the woods, why live like a caveman? I have done many overnight trips on my drz400 and I pack the same as I would if I was on my goldwing. So grab your 6 pack of Busch, and nothing else, and lets see how many nights you make it when its in the 40s.
Awesome video. 15:26 I think you should have a look at the Lifesaver Bottle. It's good for purifying 6000L or 12,000 water bottles without have to carry the water
Hope you add a first aid kit. Nice list of stuff to bring, but it seems excessive for most :)
Happy riding.
This is the second video I've seen from RMATV that showed a bum pack with the sides cut off for a tool pack. Sounds like it's time to make one from the factory that way under the Tusk brand. (Hint, hint...) Nice to see a good setup that's not extreme minimalist, but not the kitchen sink either.
+Kent Vanderploeg Haha. We'll see what we can do :)
RM vids are always very interesting and informative. (Ditch the muzak; it's like a mild migraine).
"a bunch of different stuff" *wolfman everything*
+74KU Nah, Tusk as well haha
AnorexicBoar
Nice setup though
+74KU Thanks for checking out our video!
you carry more stuff for a short ride than me and my GF combined are for a multi year RTW
it should be called... "how to overpack for you next ride"
paul s . Me a tarp.bunges.sleeping bag.fleis blanket. life water straw bottle. lots of power & cleff bars. and a few bear spray for wild pigs.
Glad you used all the time you saved packing to criticize others online. Live and let live. I enjoy all his videos.
Its a merchandise showcase. Obviously you dont take EVERYTHING he is showing us. Different people have different needs so its good to see everything that is out there.
Some of us are boy scout trained---"Be Prepared".
Wolfman bags are over the top expensive, have a look at Enduristan. I just did a full review test on them and they are bomber!!
what happend to strapping your bag and tent on the back of your bike and a visa card in your pocket and go....easier to buy a gold wing to carry all this...
I've heard a couple guys say dont use hard bags. Reason said that if you happen to have a crash and your leg goes under the hard bags your most likely going to have a broken leg.
Do you travel two up with this set up and if yes what are the pros and cons
I Don't know if Ear Plugs are the safest Idea, full face helmet. I'd also put that lighter in the ziplock bag you had right beside it. Pretty cool though, got something for everything. Extra water is the best thing ever.
Great ideas, great video, I just wish the words didn't block everything you were showing.
Nice Advertisement for your sponsors.
Wow nice fancy gear.you really must be a professional.
experien is right word
great vid!!!very informative..
Great video guys. no extra gas?
I never take all this gear but man.....if i need something i always hope theres a guy like you in the pac! Not Pack....pac! lol
@David Fitch Ha Ha! I see what you did there :)
No FIRST AID KIT?? Did i miss it? if not FAIL
One thing to keep in mind, the more stuff you have the more afraid you'll be going into a store because you'll think someone will steal your stuff LOL
So Wolfman had dropped the Enduro Duffel? Supplanted by the Expedition Dry series then?
Correct. Wolfman has available now their Overland, Expedition and Skyline lines of duffel bags that we sell. www.rockymountainatvmc.com/p/1018/59970/Wolfman-Overland-Duffel-Bag
Thanks for the great video, I would just suggest, no matter what type of ride it is, that you take at least a minimal first aid kit. Many of us seem to overlook this seemingly useless piece of kit, but it can and has been a life saver. Leave that little jump-start thing and take first aid, push start your bike.....
+Meindertjan Rebel We like the first aid kit, thanks for sharing!
A pushed started fuel injected bike runs like shit until you can shut down and restart with battery . The elec syst needs to re boot .
How many litters of storage space do you have on your bike for storage?
Looking at some bags but cant decide how much space I need.
@bryantdawg100 We plan for over 100 liters of storage capacity. It kinda depends on the trip you're going on as well. Hope this helps, thanks.
Before packing all this stuff, please take a look at eveRide's "ADV ersity" videos -- he does a gear breakdown after a really really tough ride on an overloaded KLR. IMHO, this is the sorta experience you want to avoid where you've taken everything and the kitchen sink, but you have a crappy time out there because you're carrying 100lbs of crap you don't really need.
I think this setup isn't as bad off because the KLR is such a pig weight-wise with zero gear, but weight is certainly the key metric imo.
I am waiting for a couch to come out of that bag..
Normally I love these kinds of videos, motorcycle parts vendors like Fort9 do this well where it doesn't feel like they're trying to sell you a truckload of gear under the guise of recommendations. There are some great tips in this video but overall it seems like overloading your bike in order to make a sale.
Wow that is entirely to much stuff! The point of a dual sport is to get away from all of the unnecessary junk and seeing something you wouldn't see otherwise. You would have a hell of a time riding a bike loaded like a minivan thru tight technical trails! I would love to see him take this setup up a hill climb. If I needed this much junk to take a trip I would just take my truck and stay at a hotel...
no first aid kit?
Which system is holding the panniers? Does it beef up the rear, since there isn't a great deal of load bearing capability on the 690?
These are the Tusk pannier racks. Yes, they definitely add some load bearing capacity for the 690. Thanks for watching! www.rockymountainatvmc.com/p/4470/42910/Tusk-Pannier-Racks
@@rmatvmc Thanks for the speedy reply.
I need to put together a better off road bike.
I have a broken wolfman rack on my 690r...
Hey like the video what bike is that?
That's a KTM 690 Enduro R. You can check out the bike build we did on it here: th-cam.com/video/MyTm--KWHLA/w-d-xo.html
Did you film at the Rocky Mountain ATV MC location in Payson Utah?
Good eye! Yes we did.
Are the Rocky Mountain shirt you are wearing in this video available for purchase?
Sorry, they're not.
Didn't mention camp shoes. Gotta take some shoes that let you ditch the boots at the end of the ride. Shoes take a lot of room too.
+Alberto Knox That's a good idea thanks for bringing it up!
+Alberto Knox Tie those laces together and hang the Fu*kers off a strap.. done.
+74KU Ya and then they swing Wrap around a tree and make you crash. something breaks and your ridings Done
Cowboy2659
perhaps, if you place them in a silly place.
I know they are kinda gay, but "crocs" are perfect for camp shoes. We used to use them when hiking in the Sierras because they weigh nothing and they smash down small to save space.
Milk tea? Is it just as it sounds? Just add water and sugar? I’m a tea drinker and have never tried milk tea before. Years ago I was eating out of British Army ration and they had instant tea with some sort of whitener in it and never figured it out.
I don't think the gallon Ziploc method would work well for a TAT trip...
Where is he going? The moon? Mars maybe?
nice setup but no first aid kit?
That's a must have
His sponsor didn't provide one lol
ouch, he has to make money some way you know
Stock first aid kit's suck ass. I ended up making my own. if it doesn't have a hypodermic needle with local anesthetic, epi pen, or suture kit, it is lacking. but then again, its not necessary.
He doesn't travel alone. One of them in his group always carries a first aid kit.
It's annoying that the Wolfman bags cost a mint, they aren't suitable for the rider on a budget.
check out the mosko moto reckless if your on a budget you dont have to spend the extra 200 for pannier racks
So many alternatives that work better.
Thank you for this great video. One question. what kind of extra weight are we talking about here? I know it depends on allot of factors but what would you say would be your goal of max weight?
+Dennis Schoessow It varies all over the place really.. Eric has actually has never weighed his luggage before. We'll be sure to have him weigh it before his next ride, thanks for the question!
Nice plate, never seen it. Whats it called?
The plate shown in this video is made by Fozzils.
What bike is that
WHAT BIKE IS THAT, AND WHERE DO I GET THE GRAPHICS KIT??
It's a KTM 690 Enduro R with Rally Raid Kit. AND NOW YOU GOT YOUR INFOS, STOP WRITING WITH CAPSLOCK ENABLED, BECAUSE THIS IS UNPOLITE BECAUSE IT MEANS THAT YOU'RE SCREAMING AROUND INSTEAD OF JUST TALKING MKAY ?!!
You could save a heap of weight and have room for beer or food if you ditched all the bags and replaced with simple plastic rubbish bags. Also a LED camp light is better than headlight, mine light lasts 6 months and can charge my phone 6 times.
you like having those heavy tools up there hanging on the side of your tank?
+C Tomlin You need to balance out your load that you're packing.. so up front worked best.
Where can I get the little tusk bags you have the food in?
Those were our Tusk ATV Tank Bags which are now discontinued. These would be the next comparable tank bag to our Tusk's: www.rockymountainatvmc.com/p/1150/263/ATV-Logic-Tank-Bag
thank you.
Are the Rocky Mountain shirts you are wearing in the video available to purchase?
Why? It's overkill and overpriced. Ziploc baggies. It's easy to spot people who were never in the army or marines.
No pistol?
Well I guess someone had to do it.
wish i had the money for this stuff.....
do you carry a first aid kit?
Yes, at least have one person in your group carry a first aid kit.
What are those bags you're putting your food in?
We just used ATV Tank Bags and then cut the peice connecting the two. Worked great!
+Rocky Mountain ATV MC For which model of ATV?
Chandler Smith They're pretty universal if you're looking to cut them and use them as seperate bags.. www.rockymountainatvmc.com/t/3812/Tank-Bags
Why the jump starter? Just roll start your bike or find a hill. Way too much stuff! And no first aid kit of any kind!
Depends where you bike is parked....bottom of a valley is usually when you discover you left the lights on....great for charging phone, Smok etc
Is this an advertisement for Wolfman more than a "How to pack"?
+jim cuttle The truth is, Eric uses and loves his Wolfman luggage. Several of us actually use (and love) our wolfman gear. After years of riding, we have found it holds up. Some of the guys use tusk panniers as well.
+Rocky Mountain ATV MC Okay, fair enough mate. A whole fit-out of the same name brand luggage can look like an advertisement if it all looks new.
Wow, that's a lot of stuff to take. Seems like 30% of stuff is totally unnecessary.
I'd throw most of that stuff, including the bike, in my truck...;)
so why the hell are you watching this then...
To see how much of a overweight pack mule it's possible to turn an otherwise fun to ride bike into. I own a '16 690 and it doesn't look to me like it would be near as fun to ride with all that stuff loaded on it. Does that answer your question, or are you just being a d*ck? ":)
you can't take your truck many places that this "overweight pack mule" can go. and to many, it's a hell of a lot more fun to do it this way than to do it in a truck.
I can get my truck to the trailhead, and that's close enough for me. This looks like it's for guys who think dirt roads are off road. :)
good for you.
if you run bibb mouse inserts you can do away with the tubes and repair kit and other stuff related to that what do you think?
+dring83 Excellent point! However, we generally ride with a group and like to be as prepared as possible so even if we ran a mousse we would still pack repair supplies for our fellow riders. Thanks for watching!
+Rocky Mountain ATV MC --- You are right that is why you make the big money also I don't ride in a group big or small not enough people around here not that I don't want to ---- Thanks
+dring83 It sounds like you need to get a few of your neighbors bitten by the Dual Sport bug! Or you could get on the forums and plan a few rides with people on there. Thanks for watching!
Everything but the kitchen sink, a First Aid Kit and a Taurus G2C.
What bike is thT
KTM 690 Enduro
I am still in Laos right now and I saw people traveling (not on a bike) sometimes so puristic and with so little things... this is so far away from that. Especially the little bag directly in front of him: there was so much useless luxury stuff I would say... But on the same time no first aid kit?!
I think its quite obvious that this whole setup is just made for little weekend trips in developed countries which is for me disappointing because I wanted to see something more prepared for a big adventure (there you will be forced to cook and you can't rely on this kind of food...or a "travel pharmacy" is missing too e.g.).
And there aredefinitely some mistakes! First what the hell are you doing with these little water bottles? Take big ones! And especially use a water balloon so you can drink without putting your helmet off. You wanna do some kilometers, so otherwise you'll start drinking less because every time to drink water means to do a little break. And the same counts for food. Be sure to eat enough. Sometimes I was stressed and I really wanted to reach here in south east Asia a certain city, so I didn't and I lost several kilos (which isn't a good thing if you have actually not a lot of fat to loose...)
I've ridden Newfoundland, across the US several times, north of the Arctic Circle in the Yukon and through Alaska camping the whole way. Never thought of myself as a minimalist... But I guess I must be. Oh well, to each his own... I would add a first aid kit though.. didn't hear that mentioned... suggest tossing the camp chair for first aid kit... Or given its a metric, toss the spare quart of oil. My Honda and Yamaha never use any.
Life straw. No clean water needs to be transported
Wolfman bags....not Rocky Mountain
