- Do you pack too much? rtwPaul unpacks and breaks down his entire kit for around the world motorcycle travel. This includes EVERYTHING he carries in his panniers on the KTM 500 EXC! You might be surprised at how efficient he is. Paul camps almost all the time and he doesn't use hotels or hostels. His bike is his home.

“If I forgot something I go to a store and buy it.” Most important rule to remember when packing. Always helps me to pack lightly.
Except for the adventure riders that actually drop off of the interstate every once in a while, lol
I love how half the comments are telling him he's doing it wrong despite the fact he's probably got more saddle time then all of us combined. 400k kilometers and he's still being told how to pack lmao.
Amen to that. People are hilarious.
Totally, mototbikeless smartpants (does this make sense? In my head it does)
Thats the internet for you!
Know nothing experts.
the tool storage in the skid plate was actually really cool.
yeah, real cool. the moto tool are heavy stuff. need to be stored at the lowest possible
Where does one purchase that bash plate toolbox for a KTM EXC 350 six days.
Yeah right, never see that coming
man that kit is dialed; don’t think people realize how much time and experience goes into pairing down and working out a clean system. v nice
6:09 not the first time I’ve heard this
I read somewhere once when it comes to packing for a motorcycle trip, pack everything you think you will need, and the all the money you think you will need. Then get rid of half the stuff you packed and take twice the money.
I think my favourite part of your video was the end advice. "if I forget anything, I just buy it. there's shops everywhere, its not the end of the world".
Yea and its not like the stuff you forget are 100$ or 1000$+... they are tshirts, socks, maybe a sweather... small stuff... stuff that you can get cheap in 99% of the world...
Wow, dude. First of all, props on the entire rig. Second, on the nice vid. Third, I'm a little jealous. Nine years musta brought you a ton of great experiences. Cheers to ya!
That tool box/ bash plate is amazing. They entire video Im saying, " wheres the tool kit, wheres the tool kit" then friggen BAM there it is hahahah love it! Great video, happy travels. Maybe we cross paths.
Right on
you need bike spare parts. you cant get them "everywhere in the world" in a shop when your weapon of choice is a focused dirt bike. EXC parts will have a lead time for parts of about 1 month or more as soon as you leave the civilized world.
I so agree with you Alinel. You need a bike specific spare in Africa,you have a major problem.I live in South Africa,which is supposedly the civilized world,and you can wait ages for something as simple as an air filter for a Honda,I won't even talk about BMW,KTM etc.
I was wondering if Paul was sponsored by someone...but I just can't place my finger on it...
I don't know exactly why this video was suggested to me by YT but I actually WAS thinking a lot about quitting my office job lately.
Same here! CZcams knows more about us than we think...
The one thing we really like when backpacking is a folding water basin. Of course we are out where there is lots of water. But a warm wash of hands, face, a sponge bath feel so good even though we're just out for a week or two.
Love how chill and confident you are 👍 too much gear is too much gear... sometimes the essentials is all you need
I've been doing this a while - rtwpaul.com/route/
Hi Mototrek team.
If we want to comply to a Leave No Trace approaches specific to Moto-Camping trips, several topics don't seem to be talked about very often.
As a general rule of thumb, I know that heavy loads are carried the lowest and closest to the center of the bike.
I'd like to have the MototrekADV rider's approach and insight on the following topics.
A - Water supplies :
A.1 - How do you carry/store/strap on the bike ?
A.2 - How do you filter/clean it ?
A.3 - What quantity do you usually carry/day ?
A.4 - What types of containers do you use ?
(MSR Dromedary, MSR Dromlite, Collapsible water bottles, Hydration backpack, Rotopax 1 Gallon-Water , other methods ?)
B - Food supplies :
B.1 - How do you carry/store/strap on the bike ?
B.2 - How do you store it night ? (
Bear Bag, Canister, Hanging on a tree)
B.3 - What types of containers do you use ?
(
Ursack Allmitey + Oppsack, BearVault, OPSAK Odour Proof Bag, other methods ?)
C - Trash (Food remnants or Human waste):
C.1 - How do you carry/store/strap on the bike ?
C.2 - What types of containers do you use ? (STS Trash sack, OPSAK Odour Proof Bag, Dry bag + Ziploc, other methods ?)
C.3 - What types of methods do you use ?
(
On site - Cat Holes / Carry-on - Wag bags or Restop bags ?)
D - Fuel :
D.1 - How do you carry/store/strap extra fuel on the bike and manage with other luggage ?
D.2 - What quantity do you usually carry/day ?
D.3 - What types of containers do you use ?
(MSR Fuel bottles - 30oz - 887ml, Rotopax Fuel - 1Gal - 3.80L, Desert Fox Fuel Cell - 3L, other methods ?)
Thanks for your input and recommendations.
Obviously they don't have time or someone doing their customer relations. Sad.
For what it weighs and the size of it I'd still take a Helinox chair, my back couldn't cope without it.
I used to carry a Alite Monarch Butterfly Chair, about half the weight and pack size of yours, but not easy to get out of, only has two legs, basically a rocking chair
So what do you do about food? Carry any with you or just pick some up each day?
this lad is a real motorcyclist, a lot of respect , most people drive big BMW's spend tons of money but never get dirty or go into real camping. This to me is what it is all about , real adventure !
Brand has nothing to do with it. I thrash my R1200GS up and down mountain trails, desert, etc. I've seen street queen KTM's same as BMW.
Awesome! It’s hard to stress to people the importance of good quality gear. Not only is it more functional and reliable, but the compactness makes a world of difference when you’re adventure riding. The initial hit to the pocket is harder, but it pays off every time you use it.
And for everything else? There is MasterCard
BMW GS guys take more equipment then this to go to the local shops....
That skid plate with a tool storage compartment just blew my mind !
ITs crazy!
Man I cannot express how much I want to get a bike, load it up, and just ride to nowhere. Excellent video, very in depth, great quality, and a good platform to inspire others to build off of based on their needs or copy and paste if need be.
Where's the food?
He kills it 1st
I can't pack my sock draw that neatly. My hat is off to you. Fantastic set up.
That was an eye opener. The size of your two man tent amazed me. Impressed with the software bags etc. Very durable and top notch quality. Rain and cold can be a challenge and seeing the volume or rather the lack of it in your clothes dptment was surprising. I was particularly impressed with your tank bag for photography as I too am a keen videographer and photographer. Would have liked seeing the frame set up that carried all your saddlebags etc. Great demo and a functional system to suit you. Thanks.
my god imagine packing and unpacking that everyday...in rain , hail, and snow.good onya
EX-TRE-ME-LY Helpful! Pure gold. Thank you!
travelling this light is not for everyone but if you can and still enjoy the trip logistically your riding boundaries are far less limited. Just one guys way. Cheers.
Thanks for showing us around. I'm amazed at all the experts commenting on what you should have or ditch. Obviously this works for you, thanks for sharing
Perfectly said...
All i see and hear is Ultimate freedom. Takes a special kind of person to be able to do that.
This guy is to the point, very refreshing to watch.
What an amazing video Paul, well done, such a great example of light travelling. Thank you for sharing it. Safe ride!!
So... I've been bike touring (pedal bike) and probably setting out to do a motorcycle tour at one point. All fun, but on the bike tour I always left some empty space for food on the road. Great that you pack a stove, but where do you keep the food?
We can never emphasize enough how compact and light we can pack when planning right. I've seen people over the years in needless strugles of exhaustion because they were carrying half their households. Weight matters
You Sir are living my dream
Enjoy
Wondering how rtwPaul affords to travel? czcams.com/video/gETN1yUdYKo/video.html
You should look into a corbin seat. There shaped like a saddle very comfortable they male them for almost any bike.
A minha 😊😊
The beats in the end are so dope!
Everybody about the food. He is showing you the GEAR, add 2 cans of food for emergency and that's it, when on the road there are towns with people and food, restaurants, shops, everywhere in the world. Even in the most remote and poor places people sell food, it comes with the humans.
Exactly!!
Yep, Noraly (Itchy Boots) eats out every meal and spends every night in a hotel/B&B. That's how I'd travel if I had the money but I don't.
Thanks so much for the video, Its good to see someone rocking the Mosko moto setup and travailing. You just helped me immensely! I'm going to refer to your video when packing for my next trip!
Can you please do a video detailing your tool roll?
Thanks
Very impressive! I like this well thought out, reduce-to-the-max approach very much. thanks for sharing, Paul :-)
Nice video, very informative! Have a beautiful, safe journey and good luck.
around the world on a KTM, ballsy!
My kit has about 90% the same items as you, but your gear is tiny. Your tent, bedroll, and sleeping bag combined are significantly smaller than any one of those items for me. You must have forked out for the best and latest gear.
upgraded over a number of years
Clever, compact, comprehensive.....especially like the chair!
Great video, your website is even better.
Thanks for all the time and effort that you put into all this to share your knowledge.
I took some lunch to the park the other day. I'm pretty sure I carried more gear and stuff than this guys does for his RTW trips lol
Brilliantly done IMHO. The art of traveling light is something that I've yet to master. My, I want to be prepared for any contingency kind of mindset usually does me in.
Safe travels and more power to you.
It helps to use items that are multifunctional or learn to use one thing in many ways;
Avoid "what if" scenarios;
Don't take that spare pair of jeans. Don't take "spare" anything;
See being frugal and doing with minimal stuff as a challenge you have to make;
If you buy new gear always choose the small/lightweight/simple option;
If you're going to take contingency items then think of utility to cumbersome ratio: elastics, a needle, string, a clothespin, a bit of cloth tape, a bandana, etc.;
Go camping some time and learn what you actually need. List all the things you did and didn't use and next time take only what you use.
I must say this tool kit is awesome! Never saw such design before and it's sooo brilliant!
Wonderful advice. We start our RTW Adventure next summer! Really appreciate the great tips.
1:06 You don't use hotels and yet I just checked out your Instagram and there are multiple hotel rooms.... Why do these people always have to make out that they're "so extreme bro no hotel ever just me and the road"
the lightest
the wiser
Thanks for sharing Paul, what I like the most is your chair.
Great stuff. I'm starting moto-camping this season and I m craving this kind of video. You can tell it's years of experience speaking. 👍
The tool storage super nice!
Really great video! Enjoyed it thoroughly! We here at Viking Bags really appreciate your content! Keep up the good work!
Thank you for sharing your years of experience and what you have found that works for you. I carry way too much but will take several things from your video but one thing I can not give up.... My Chair. LOL.
This is excellent! Great work on this video. You make it look so easy! Thank you!
Wow, I bet he's a right laugh at a party!
Yeah, grumpy and grouchy making his own damn video. I was interested in what he had to say, right up until he got a bit sideways at the end.
Funny. I saw motorcycles in Asia, Australia, North America, but in Micronesia I saw none.
I was paid to operate a Sheriff Department vehicle (a Ford truck), and like most adults my
personal vehicle was a rusty bicycle. Given a land mass one half mile wide and crescent
moon-shaped three mile length we were surrounded by saltwater. For thousands of miles
an ocean surrounded us. Miles deep it was. I did see some Japanese motorcycles inside
a ship sunk by the US Navy in WW2 after I obtained my SCUBA Certification.
Thank you great summary of what we really need on the Big Trips !!
Amazing! Thanks for showing us how minimal you can travel and still have all that you need 👍.
Where do you put food and food storage???
And cooking equipment. I did see plates.
one of the best 8 minutes spent
Agreed
Excellent, yes travel light, you're never far from people and their stuff.
Great video. Very useful information. Thanks for creating. Gonna zoom in on your tool roll
Legend. Thanks for unpacking all that stuff just to show us
Nice and simple. Keep up the good work.
Spectacular video. solid content. Thank You.
Thanks for the video. Safe travels Paul!
Great tutorial thank you so much! Planning to do some camping on our motorbikes this year. Mine bike is the humble cb500x. It's a great bike and it does everything quite well. Do not have it rally rated but I have it equipped to protect it with skid plate ,handguards, heated grips engine guards, and LED lights. And I have soft luggage on my bike too. We plan on copying your packing when we camp. Huddy has a nice KLR, but he's looking to upgrade.
CB 500 X and KLR will go around the world with no problems. Have fun camping. Cheers
Where does the food for caming go?
You can see your intent is to advocate the adventure. Very informative but very to the point. Fine business sir. Thank you.
I have been doing adventure riding for years. This is a very well explained video learnt alot thanks!
Great video. Look forward to following your trip. Thanks.
It's all nice but where do you store all your actual food ? What do you use ? Peanut butter ? Pitas ? Fruits ? Vegetables? Pasta ? It would have been nice to see where do you store the actual food among your luggage !
20 liters of empty space for food
compliment..you are so well organized
Truly brilliant video! Thanks for posting.
Maybe I missed it, food storage? Any tent footprint or are you just careful when you set up?
This guy has the cleanest kit i've ever seen going "around the world" ...
Paul has been documenting his trips online for years.
A guy doing it that long knows how important it is to keep his equipment clean
That's how it should be done. Thanks for sharing!
You got a new fan dude! Keep it rolling
Paul is the Master of Motocamoing.
How do you manage security of your bike and gear when out on the road? You mentioned a bike cover, but I was left wondering what you do for security when shopping for groceries, stopping for coffee, etc. It strikes me that soft luggage is an easier target for opportunists while your back is turned.
No one answered you sadge.
thanks for sharing, really appreciate the link to your packing list.
I'm just starting down the moto off-road travel and this is a good setup.
I've traveled a lot by bicycle and mountain bike, like decades. I look back at my first big trip in 1980 and kind of chuckle inside at the gear and canned food I carried. I was actually kind of lucky to find halfway decent stuff, considering the gear of the time, and it worked even though none of it was light. Still, it was the adventure of my life and it filled a desperate need for me to gain faith in humanity, which became the point. Remote travel, though, good gear makes it way better, but nothin beats a clear disposition in stressful moments
i saw a load of cooking stuff but nothing to cook!
That's because fresh food is available everywhere.
Like the tool box
Cool.. Specially the chair and small sleep back..
I agree with your essentials only philosophy.
Also, Mosko is the only way to go!
Tools under/in the lower plate, first Ive seen. Great idea.
Thanks for allowing many of us to acknowledge how to travel.
My girlfriend carries more in her handbag when we go out....lol
Doubt that
Thank you I needed this info
Travelling light is really the key thing to make the experience a good one.😊😎👍
This video is surprisingly helpful! Thanks!
where do you store your food ? just curious or do you eat out a lot ? :)
Just buy it as you go. Just go to whatever local market that is there
My bike has a small tool kit under the seat. Enough to change a tire and tighten bolts. I carry a small air pump that's a bitch to use but gets the job done if needed. I carry two waterproof 20 liter pannier bags and a fat 50 cal ammo can in a Swag mount on my rear bracket. That's all the space I need 90% of the time. In the rare case that I need a little more I wear a backpack.
That's a nice set up, I recently swapped over to soft bags on my Himalayan and I like them way better. Not only are they lighter but your less confined by shape of the object you are trying to store
A badass for sure, thank you so much for your presentation and help sharing your experience. Got to get some gear fast, for my next adventure in Turkey (going east this time) and I appreciate your vib man, thanks again
