Packing

How to pack for a month-long trip by motorbike? Easier than you might think. Put on a floor all things you know you definitely need, then put them into a suitcases and if it fits - you're all done :)
More detailed - if you plan to go to camps, like we did, then you definitely need a tent, sleeping bag and a mat. For cooking you will need a gas bottle, cooking pot, oil and spices, a cup, spoon, fork, one universal knife, everything packed into small containers to take as little space as possible. Some dry soup, tea, biscuits, bottle of water. Things for bathroom/toilet. For clothes we took max 3-4 pieces of everything - shirts, socks, underwear. I took some extra warm shirts cause I'm always freezing and will have to have a lot of layers on me - we are going far north afterall. Also, a pair of shoes and trousers for "casual time". Motorbike gear - trousers, jacket, boots, kidney protection, rain jacket and trousers. Usb rechargable batteries, mobile phones, e-reader. And that was it! It all fitted into 3 suitcases we had. And there was even room for souvenirs.
A recap:
  • 3-4 shirts with short sleeves
  • 2-3 shirts with long sleeves
  • 3-4 pieces of underwear
  • 3-4 pairs of socks
  • jacket, trousers, shoes for casual time
  • moto gear
  • dry soap, dry shampoo, comb, toothbrush, toothpaste, towel, toilet paper
  • tent, sleeping bag, mat (in my case inflatable beach mattress)
  • gas bottle, cooking pot, cup, spoon, fork, knife, oil, spices, dry food, water
  • rechargable batteries, mobile phone, e-reader
We are ready to go.
