Mate, as someone who's done trips around Australia for years and has filmed many of them for KZbin, the pure joy you have captured in your video is immense and the understanding of the work involved in filming it and putting it together is very much appreciated. The presence of the beauty is tangible, love this. Thank you for the heart warming and enjoy the happy days.

Cheers! It took a lot of time and effort to capture that all. Australia is beautiful and i hope it transpires how great it is to ride around the country. Thanks for watching

Great job & advice. I am sure many riders have either taken too much or not enough. I guess it depends on your comfort levels & budget too. Even a top quality micro folding chair can cost over £100. I like to research products before buying for peace of mind, eg, durability, quality, simplicity. A two person tent seems to be a rule for lone motorbike riders. But if you have fitted panniers, then you could have a cheap tarp over your bike & have a one person tent? If the wheels/tyres can be cleaned, it may be possible to have a ground sheet under the bike & a tarp over the bike. Under a bridge is an option to stay dry. I am planning to do a road trip to France, Switzerland & Italy(Turin) from the UK in May 2025 over 10 or 11 days. I would like to go wild camping for at least 6 nights and I was thinking of using a hammock because there are a few national parks/woodlands. Is it worth packing a tent & a hammock despite the extra weight? I only plan to do 5 hours of riding per day with one or two stops in between, so I will have plenty of time to set up for the evening. I was only planning to take minimum clothing (3 of everything?) & wash them every other day. How did you wash your clothes? I was thinking of using zipper bags & dissolve tablets in s/s mug with hot water, let it cool down for 12 minutes then shake. I will be dependent on google maps & other apps via my mobile phone, so I need to know how to keep it fully charged most of the time. What do you recommend? I was thinking of buying a tomahawk camping axe for chopping wood etc. Is this a problem at passport control when crossing borders? Thanks again.

@PaoloCattaneo 2 ай бұрын

It s worth packing a tent if you can free camp. But it s hard to do it in the alps. No border control at all. You can bring an axe no worries

@artycul8artycul869 6 ай бұрын

One of my favourite camp accessories is an aluminium camp sheet I bought for $6 from Aliexpress. I put it on the floor inside the tent and It keeps it cosy and warm inside. Takes up little room in the kit bag and weights nearly nothing.

Great review, thanks. I had the K60 scout on my 701e and it was a bit scary in the wet when you weren’t ready for a power slide out of a roundabout or junction, but fun if you meant to slide out. They don’t just slip a bit, they do break away in the wet, but great for long miles. I’ve since had a few tyres and loving the Continental TKC70 Rocks at the moment. A really good tyre for wet and dry tarmac and some mud, but less so on wet grass. Great review from experience. Very useful. Many thanks.

This probably goes against the tips in this YT video on travelling light, but years ago in my long distance commutes over several days, I ALWAYS carried a shoulder bag, that rested on the fuel tank, full of basic amusements. A couple of handheld (academic) computer games 📱; radio 📻 ; portable chess set ♟ with checkers, too; a couple of books 📕; pack of cards 🃏; note book and pencil 📝; etc. Not enough thought is given to basic entertainment until a rider is trapped somewhere due to mechanical trouble or torrential rain, etc.

@PaoloCattaneo 9 ай бұрын

Absolutely. Everybody has his own style of travelling. There are no fixed rules. Most people these days would use a phone or a tablet for all things entertainment but cards and a small chess set could go a long way especially in a hostel or being stuck with somebody for days. Notebook is a great idea too. I ve filled up several of those 👍

@@PaoloCattaneo Thanks for the polite and thoughtful response. Here in Australia mobile phone coverage can be somewhat variable. So I would recommend at least a few small off grid devices that are economical with batteries 🪫. Still recommended is my 1980s Franklin WordMaster dictionary and games, where batteries last and last but the contrast can be upped to get the last bit of power out of them. Brilliantly engineered for its time. Glad to hear also from someone who still thinks there’s a place for the old fashioned note pad and pen/pencil.

Thank you for the thorough review, well done. Nothing better than to hear from somebody who has realy used the tires in different conditions. Just happen to find you on the channel, I reckon I am a bit late. Planning a trip solo to Iceland from Italy (so a lot of tarmac) and some gravel roads when there, but nothing very aggressive as I do not have the skills. Riding a Tiger 900. Uncertain between Anakee Adventure, Mitas E07 and Shink0 705. What would be your pick? Money is not an issue. Grazie mille e buona strada!

For the moving motorcyclists I agree on the tent. Quick up, quick down, small. 4lbs/2kg, maybe 7lb/3kg. I use economy 2 person tents, and replace them every 3-4 years. If you bike to one location and stay there a week...then a bigger or fancier tent....but usually I set up in a new spot each night as I'm riding to new areas. At most two nights. Better to focus on the sleep kit. Uncomfortable cold sleeping will make exerything bad.
