 Following on from our earlier post showing our bike with the PVC pipes installed for our Australia to Wales adventure, we had lots of much appreciated comments and questions about what we are taking and suggestions as to what to take and what not to take, (some made us smile which is a good thing), all of which we have considered, apart from taking a car, so I thought I would share what we are taking and how we arrived at it but also how we evaluated the weight and volume constraints which may answer some of the questions and suggestions posed by the group. We have learnt that everybody’s packing philosophy, and ultimately their packing list, will be different as it depends on where you are going, how long for, what bike you are on and other considerations like are you going off-road, do you have a passenger and what accommodation are you planning to stay in. Our 2up Packing list on a big GSA will be very different from a single rider on a DR650 going offroad. It’s all too easy to say “put in on a table and take half” Half a tent and sleeping bag and a pair of undies does not fly. The result should be a pragmatic decision considering all constraints and goals and how it will affect your trip. The evaluation, I got a bit carried away with this, and the packing list I created is a bit too long to put in a post so I have put it up on our website for people to download. Hopefully it might be useful, even to validate a differing opinion you might have. https://www.2upfromdownunder.com/our-gear.html
