Finland, Sweden, Norway, my favourite places on earth will be explored by you two visiting the wilderness, lakes, forests and isolated dirt roads that the North has to offer. Everything while camping. This is going to be epic I am so excited!!! 💙🙌
The cabin on any long ferry , day or night , is a must have item 😺
+ book a meal package also, it's included 3 meals, worth every penny 👍
Nice to see the pair of you back on our screens
Thank you😃
Excellent watch and well done to Martha for going from zero on a bike to now riding north on epic journey. ❤ it
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you!
Amazing for your video of 10,000km Motorcycle Adventure To The Arctic Circle. Very good of your driving. I love your video and Thanks for sharing.
Hi a tip from an old swed biker. Your kitchen gear put it into a garbidge bin when you come to sweden. Go into a sport shop and buy a reel Trangia kitchen with coffepot, because you have handel of aluminium and two pans one fryingpan burner and buy a flask of aluminium for spirit often one liter and flameproof. you will got so much better equipment because you cant cock in thouse plastic jars and your kichen dont work on open fire as an alternative. Hope you dont take this as an insult thats not the mening but i know how irritating it can bee out in the woods when the gear dont work. Mvh.KJ
I've seen another youtuber with a Trangia. They praised it
Hi, Yes im an old officer in pension now . But the swedich army used these to their soldiers that was placed in upper sweden and the mountins and that was a lot, and if it was good for them it will bee good for you or me. Now i cant ride a bike im in a wheelchair sooo. Its not fun when you hungry weiting for camping and such things fails,than you can lost your mood very easey. its the same with the tent things, the pinns you drive in the soil to hold the tent brakes because there was a stone, toss them and buy hardend aluminium pinns.Dont weigh much either. Look at your toriginal tools ?are they so good that you can do a repair deep in the woods,nja? throu the screwdrivers and buy good ones. that is my tipp.
Your mood will bee better and your lady happier.
Mvh.KJ
I use two big dry bags. Pack up my tent bedroom separately and bag it all in the tent. Then load the bike then drop the outer and pack that last.
Cant wait to see more adventures
Great video !! My tip is pick up a tarp and pole set on your trip gives you a dry place to sit outside the tent and if you put it up first a dry area to unpack / pack up !
"And a toilet... I can drink water!" lol
You will love it, for sure. I did a 19hr ride from Odense in Denmark to Northamptonshire so I feel your pain with the rain etc.
I would have still taken the jet boil, just for random coffee breaks.
Enjoy
It just shows you don't need adventure bikes to do this stuff. And for 1 brand new rider and one with some experience you guys have done amazing. !
So true! Thank you 😃
You guys are super cute 😊 you guys are really blessed to share the same passion and do this together it’s an amazing experience enjoy guys ❤️
That’s some mileage, km, in those conditions. Thanks for taking up along. All the best for your travels 👍😎
I require 4 wheels. Be careful please.
Thank you! 👍
Two must have items for me would be a small food prep knife (around 5 inches or larger) with a sheath and really thin flexible cutting board. They don’t have to be expensive. You might be able to find these items at a kitchen supply store. I’ve tried using a wave for doing food prep…not too fun. The blade is small and is harder to get clean if the food ends up getting into the rest of the multitool as your slicing. If I could recommend, cook away from your tent. I don’t know how bad the bears will get on your journey, but in Canada I do my best to minimize food smells in the tent that could attract bears. If bears won’t be a problem, make sure to open both sides of your vestibule to get some air flow to reduce the amount of combustion by-products you’re breathing in. You can run the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning by cooking inside a poorly ventilated or closed up tent. I loved the video! Keep up the great work and good luck!
You're a great couple on a fantastic adventure! Martha your riding is fantastic, I can't believe that you've only been riding such a short time! - so much more difficult with a fully loaded bike ! Keep up the good work and enjoy.
Loving your channel and adventures!!! You're keeping so REAL!!! Respect.
Excellent, really enjoyed that first video, editing is top notch, you’ve both done a great job. Looking forward to the rest of this series.
I have to give you credit. You’re learning as you go but the fact you pushed on for 14 hours is certainly respectable. My theory on things like this is to see what the professionals (Itchy Boots) do and copy them exactly. Also, never drink toilet water no matter what dogs say!
Just found you guys channel it's great and entertaining. Awesome 👍thanks for taking us long for the ride
You asked what I would say is a must on a trip like yours....I would say LoneRider Tents to keep the bikes out of the rain overnight. You can pack up in the dry mainly
We looked into the Lone Rider tents but the pack up was just too big for us to justify carrying, hence the bike covers
Awesome camp gear choices! I'm so glad you decided on the double sleeping bag and 3 person tent. That extra space is totally worth it! And, I think body heat will help keep you warmer than those single sleeping bags. It's great to see you both again!
Just started watching and stoked to see how the journey unfolds. I'm trying to get my partner to start riding with me so im happy to see a couple starting thair adventure together 😊
Haha I love that, thank you!
Excellent, had me in stitches at some points 😂🤣😂 looking forward to part 2 already.
Glad you enjoyed it!!
Great video! What an awesome adventure! Love the new style of editing too, it’s very fun. Can’t wait to see the rest of your adventures!
Thank you so much!
New subscriber along for the journey! I can’t wait to follow your adventures
The journey is the adventure, as you say, appreciate that there will be highs and lows and live it 🎉
Glad you're back guys! Look forward to the series 😊
Yes! Thank you!
Great video guys! Looking forward to seeing your adventure unfold!
Thanks so much!
Been looking forward to this series! Looks like there’s a lot to come. You must be so proud of yourselves for having done this trip!
Yes! Thank you!
back with a bang :) good video cant wait to see the next
Thank you😊
Nice video :) I actually met you, outside a little shop in Finnmark, just north of Alta :) Gave you a thumbs up, was in a hurry or else i would have stopped to chat with you :)
Looking forward to the rest of the series :)
No way! Yes we remember, thanks for saying hi 😊
Just watched first episode.. looking forward to watching the adventure. You guys made me nervous using that stove in the tent
A pillow! I would need an amazing pillow! 🤣🥳 can’t wait for part 2!!!
Hahaha we do miss our full size pillows😂
Well done muscling on🎉
so epic trip
Like to see you in Belgium I live in Hoogstraten.
Loved your van but also like to see your video’s. Safe trip!
A little bit of comfort goes a long way.
Take a look at the lone rider tent. It’s so worth the extra money for the space.
Remember, to be able to pack the bikes while a bike is pulled into the tent is amazing. 😊
Great to see you's back, really looking forward to watching your travels again.👌
Thank you!
bike travel is very difficult but the places you can go makes up for the miserable times. i can see that you guys were tested on the trip, hats off to ya
Exactly, it’s what it’s all about!
Looking like a great trip and watching for us, thanks for going through the rain to bring it to us 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
Finnlines ferries are norm.good allways between Helsinki-Travemunde. It is not cheap but it is good way to travel and sleep and eat without weather mixture...
So glad you’re back, looking forward to the series. Sunday night must watch !
Yay! Thank you!
I really like the burner a must have I'm going to find one for our adventure touring
liked and subbed for the sink :D
Excellent first video. Looking forward to the rest!
great to see you both having a great adventure , looking forward to next video
More to come! Thank you 🥰
Hello you two, greetings from Vietnam, I am a motorcyclist. I also have friends in France, England, Germany and Belgium, congratulations on your travels, a big hug to all, may God bless your lives and your families. Come and explore Vietnam by motorbike.🏍🏍🏍
We explored Vietnam by motorbike a year ago and loved it, there’s a full playlist on our channel😊 we’d love to come back on two bikes though!
@@TheJammyGits I'll be following that playlist and looking forward to your bike rides 🚴♀🚴
You both did well in that awful weather. 👍

Ah that’s good to hear, thank you!
Great to have you guys back . So jealous of your adventure and looking forward to each episode.

Safe riding.

It must be great to do a tour with a girlfriend, I recently did a trip from Kent to the Scottish NC 500 alone , it was good but sharing the experience would’ve made it much better .

Your content and editing are superb, so I’m really looking forward to your Scandinavian adventures. Ride safe both, and please keep the vids coming!!👍🏻👍🏻
Awesome, thank you!
Well you guys have a new subscriber and I'm going to be trying to get the wife to agree to do her license while I get mine now. 😂😂
As for an item, a decent knife is absolutely essential to me.
Haha I love this, I only got on a motorbike back in February so she should defo do it!
good night Martha and Mitch
i love watching your videos on your CZcams channel I hope you are all well and enjoying your adventure aboard please keep up your youtube channel p.lease keep safe and warm
Hi guy’s 👋, it’s great to see you back 🎉 really enjoyed your first vlog and looking for to seeing the rest of your travel , you are so adventurous we love it 😊.
Thanks so much! 😊
Great video... I hope you have all your must have items... but staying warm and dry must I think
Great video, looking forward to the next.
The one essential i would take is the same thing Mitch did,an awesome woman to share it with. You're a lovely couple, looking forward to seeing your travels
😊 thank you
White vinegar is best for mould. Missed u guys
Bien. Entretenido. Empieza lo desconocido. Gracias.
Thank you!
Quite the adventure for sure.
First of all.. welcome back… 👍👍 your just getting on the ferry 👍😊
Thank you!
Goes from reindeers to taking a shit in the woods 😂😂
In Finland where there can be a lot of mosquitoes, Thermacell is a must buy.
THEY ARE BACK🎉🎉
Honda CRF300L Rally is a fantastic choice for your first bike, especially doing the sort of riding you are undertaking. I have a Honda CMX500 Rebel and a Honda CRF300L Rally. One for on the road cruising and the other for adventures. Both amazing bikes and built like tanks. On a side note, mitch has an uncanny resemblance to Jackson Avery from Grey's Anatomy 😂
Hi Mike just wanted to say hello ,try and keep your chin up and keep fighting .
We learnt about Sunday closing very early in our French camping career , we always carry pasta and a jar of tomato sauce for the first day 😃 Love the petrol stoves but they behave like incendiary devices 🤣 And don’t forget , what doesn’t kill you , makes you stronger 😃🍻
So true!
Beautiful and good Job . Keep up the good ride >
Fair play long ride and even worse when your saturated good vid
Cheers!
Great to see you back travelling again and well done for an epic but horrible journey north. A decent pillow would be my necessity! And please please please don’t light your stove inside the tent again, I almost couldn’t watch🫣
Interesting watch, looking forward to your Scandinavian journey. Why did you choose “Jammy gits”?
Great video! Looks like an amazing adventure
It really was! Cant wait to share more🥳
@@TheJammyGits we are waiting for more content also! I think next summer I will do the same trip, just waiting for the new KTM adventure 390 to come out LOL
Finally get to see this epic trip, seems like a life time waiting lol
Defo worth the extra 80 quid for the room.
One item I would need to have with me is a nice king size bed with extra thick mattress 😂
Haha we’re back now & can’t wait to share the whole of the adventures with you!
Very cool 😎👍🏼
Reads the forecast the night before to say rain at 7am. Next morning still in bed at 7am 🙄
Word of advice you should really put MSR stove on a rock and not directly on grass as it will kill grass around it.
Love you guys amazing video!
Thanks so much!
That must have been an amazing trip! Nowadays im slowly thinking of doing something a bit similar, after this years trip. I did close to 5k km in Europe and it tought me one thing- I definitely need a device wich is going to be a dedicated GPS- my phone, locked in waterproof case was overheating regularly as in Europe at the time it was constant 30 degree heat, and also I could not use app I was thinking of, as I did not have enough on-device storage and app didnt allow it to save on SD card. I hope my discovery helps someone out :)
could of watched an hour ! amazing adventure .
Haha thank you!
You do not have a throttle lock ?
Tough trip !
Good luck !
I have been waiting for this 🙂
Nice video 👍
Oo ya iam from Indonesian 🇲🇨
Well yes what a great video. Well done on that long wet journey id love to get into doing stuff like this. May I ask. What was the cost of this first trip including fuel. Etc etc.
needs to be as cheap as possible.
But you know what. You both looked so happy.. awesome. 👍👍
Thank you! We haven’t worked out the costings yet (been scared to) but when we do will let you know!
@@TheJammyGits okay great would be much appreciated 👍👍
