I now live on the US/CA border in North Central WA (also awesome riding) (I now ride a 2023 Norden 901 Expedition), but that Lost Sierra area is some of the best adventure riding I've ever done in my 40+ years of riding.

I would not hesitate to purchase another KTM/Husky. I love my 701 for BDR's. Kris (in the film) assisted with the scouting and bikes we scout on get punished with a lot of hard miles. The engine failure on my 701 was precipitated by a 400+mile high speed run down the I5 freeway in temps above 100 after scouting an issue at the far North end of the route. The bike over-heated, was diagnosed as a blown head gasket, but unknowingly damaged the water pump seal that unfortunately failed causing radiator fluid to instantly fill the crankcase and the engine just went.

Don't skimp out on those protection bits...or be an idiot and not check your tool kit for a master link and then try to safety wire a chain together. The thing about electros is they are actually more simple and reliable than an ICE, but the range and weight (well, it's about the weight of those big stuuupid heavy GS' with massive boxes) are killers. They definitely sugar coated it some (sponsored), at least it's not like Black Hills BDR-X film which is half commercial.

I always carry about a ten link section of chain (the leftovers of the new chain), about five master links, a breaker. I use the rivet type master links, I hate the clip type, though they will get you out of the woods. I kind of wonder why RideBDR doesn't carry a trauma kit for sale on their site. The kits you can buy on line are usually strong on bandaids and tweezers and short on splints, tourniquets, and clotting agents. It would be nice if they could get a company that does those types of kits to make a motorcycle backcountry kit, designed for a BDR type trip. That way it would be small, tailored for the need, without silly things like aspirin (You don't give head trauma victims a blood thinner!) but with the things necessary to keep them alive, until help arrives and to reduce injury after the initial injury. I get that some things in a trauma kit have a best use by date, but if you partner with a company, the kits won't have to sit on a shelf and expire. Just a thought. Or even just an advert on your page for a recommended kit that has what you need, not a bunch of junk.
