gear list
for a long motorcycle adventure25.09.2025
<< IM STILL WORKING ON THIS PAGE >>

You really don't need that much to spend long periods of time on the road. Even when you seek freedom, skipping accomodations and bringing your own food and water. Sure, you'll have to give up a bit of comfort, become less picky about hygiene, and learn to live with fewer possessions. But soon you’ll realise that you don’t have to bring a lot.

During my seven-month solo journey, I travelled unsupported with little more than a large backpack and a few bags strapped to my motorcycle. With a tent, some food, and enough water, I could disappear into the wilderness for days at a time.


Everything I had, in one photograph.
