I've taken almost all this stuff on the test trip.  The only thing I didn't take was the gas can.  That will be empty most of the way.  I'll only need it in the very remote stretches.  
All this stuff goes into Wolfman Expedition Dry Saddlebags, a Giant Loop Coyote, a couple of kayaking dry bags, and a ATV Logic tank bag.  

So there you have it.  The gear list.  

Until next time...  :-D

  1. Nice list! You seem very well prepared! You even have a chair! :D
    Are you going with tubeless tires?

    Now I'll have to study the map to see exactly where you are going. So exciting!

  2. I thought about tubeless but decided to stick with regular tubes. Would it be too much to hope for no flats? LOL

    I'll try to post a route map if it's interactive. Otherwise, it'll just look like a big circle over northern Canada. Haha!
