Camping Gear Packing for 11 Day European Trip 

I have not done moto or any other camping for 23 years, but at the ripe old age of 65 I want to give it another go. Wife wont go as she only does B & B but I don't mind going solo. It will be a lot harder to get off the floor than get down onto it but hey ho. Really enjoyed the content gave me some good ideas. I have a Kawasaki GTR 1400 so loads of room to carry stuff so will have a larger tent I can stand up in to get dressed and a good strong chair.

Another great, informative video. We returned from 12 days camping in France and Germany yesterday. I have similar kit to yours, and always say I’m going to take less next time. The campsites over there are so much better set up than in our country 👍

Whoops sorry Andrew didn’t realised you have done a review and also fitting it to the bike .👍

Thanks for more motorcycling camping tips. Agree a chair essential, and if you decide to take one of these small fold up tables, they also become another campsite essential. On my bike packs away discreetly beneath the sissy bar🍺

Nice load out, thanks

Really informative, thank you. Keep the vlogs coming 👍.

Really like the tank bag Andy, so very handy. Will have to see if I can get them here in South Africa 🇿🇦. Thanks for the great review 👍🏻

Oh my word, that is a lot of kit! I'm a big fan of sleeping bag liners, always use one, I don't like using them but they are far easier to clean than a down sleeping bag, and washing eventually kills down. I'm convinced now for longer trips petrol stoves are the way ahead, you always have petrol and a spare bit of petrol on the bike may save you a long walk one day. Totally recommend the Soto Muka stove. I weighed my load the other day, everything, including bags (I have an altrider hemisphere which looks similar to yours) but except camera kit, food and water came in just under 11kg. I'd be so interested to know what your kit weighed in total. I think you have to be comfortable but also I like my bike to be nimble, my trips will include off-road section tho. I've been practicing one pot meals lately and you can knock up some tasty dinners in one pot. I always have a fully sealable flask mug with me, like to take a brew with me, but you can use that to make Smash in whilst you use the pot to cook up something else and then add the mash at the end. I so love these kit videos, you always learn something or it helps confirm a certain way of thinking, so thanks for this, another great video!

Very interesting. Having done the touring cycling thing for a few years I turned in to a bit of a gramme counter. Obviously this can be very annoying for everyone else. As I’m headed back toward motorcycle touring in the next few years, I’m still reeling at the duplication of equipment and carrying spare food and foot ware .. the sheer luxury. Any way a great breakdown of what and why. Thanks.

I hope you had a good time. It was a really useful video. Thank you!

Got to love a tank bag, vital for cameras and other things we need nearby! Surely a tank bag is a male handbag, lol. Thanks for sharing, given me some ideas for my future purchase of a CB500x!

Interesting video; always interesting seeing what others take and how they pack too. Yes, a chair for us more "mature" riders; wouldn't go anywhere without my Mayfly Alite. and something to "P" in ;-) Atb Wayne

You could change out your mugs for a sea to summit collapsable cook set and mug.

Great review. Things I wish I bought years ago…I got a lightweight chair but with a back. Luxury after a days riding. Also a stuff pillow (luxury pillow millets) I found air pillows a bit meh.

Great video! Good stuff. Maybe add a little .380 or 9mm. and "no wild camping" ?? wow tha'ts a sad state isn't it? Anyway...well done.

Wow, such a lot of stuff, 3 cookers? Did you list out the stuff you didn't use? I think you could have saved a lot of space, but then I guess we're all different. I know I always manage to eturn with stuff unused!

Really useful, thanks - especially to see what you used and didnt use. And as you say all trips are different but good to know what the basic kit is that you can build on. May I ask where you got the sleeping bag? Lots of stuff that is harder (and more expensive) to get here in Norway.

Great video as always Andrew , are you doing a review on the horse shoe shaped bag Brothers Rogal ? It looks ideal for my 500 X . Regards Niall

Grand video as always. Can I ask, what's with the Lambretta shirt? Is there a little italian shiny toy lurking behind the camera?

Wee bottle? What’s wrong with a tree, or shrub, or tall grass?

How did you decide on which camp site to use? I’m just back from an 8 day Euro trip and only camped twice. I had hoped to find a quiet place to wild camp. I found I was pushing to make mileage/capture footage and by the time I got to where I wanted to be, it was too late to approach a camp site for a walk in. Did you book camp sites in advance, or make a concerted effort to find a camp site at a reasonable hour?

Just thought , could the bag be used with a top box in situ ? Cheers Niall

Hi where did you buy the wee bottle please.

Im sure i saw viagra in the tablet pouch?😊

sorry mate your getting boring now bye
