PACKING LIST
So, can a small bike like a Scrambler carry all you need for a big overland trip? Take a look at the
photo below. All this fitted on my bike, and on my back. Note that I carried a complete two-man
tent and all the cooking gear - proof it can also be done solo. I also had surplus stainless steal
cooking pots, extra camera gear and my laptop; with a small camera set-up and a tablet, there
would be additional space for more tools, some spares and a few other bits and bobs.
