3 Days to Go – Packing

Posted by Tyler on June 12, 2012
Posted in: Motorcycle to Tuktoyaktuk.

About a month ago I started a list of gear I needed to bring, however, I left it until today to actually try packing everything in the small bags I have.  Soon after starting I realized that I have significantly more gear than space available.  Like a kids hockey team I start making cuts.

Rain Gear – you’re cut, it never rains in the arctic

Polar Fleece – you’re cut, its summer

Thermos – you’re cut, I’ll drink right from pot

Either this works out or it I may be finding myself wet, cold and thirsty.

With the bike ready to go, I decided to fabricate some velcro straps for my Ortleib saddle bags.  Not exactly the pre-trip hardcore wrenching I was expecting, but nonetheless a required piece of equipment.  I also thought it may be a good idea to start acclimatising myself to the Arctic with a cold Yukon Gold.  Suddenly I no longer worried about trivial articles I’m leaving behind.
