Planning

So, all gear is ready.

Camping gear include:
Tent with footprint and rainfly. Also 12x12 tarp for really rainy days.
Sleeping bag and insertable pad with pillow.
Gazoline capable stove with two 1 liter bottles of fuel and cookware
Camping chair and stool
Ovehead light, 2 flashligts
Firestarters, hammer, saw
Expandable 4 gallon canister

I'm taking two riding gear sets, one is mesh jacket with pants and one textile jacket with warm liner and overpants. Boots are full size Dual Sport waterproof boots.
Two pairs of gloves, again, winter and summer.
Helmet, of couse, sunglusses
Cardo communication device for FM radio and cellphone conversations on the go.

I'm taking two still cameras, one will be attached to the LH side of the handlebar, Video camcorder will be on the bracket on the tankbag. GPS will be attached on the RH side of the hadlebar. Two 12V outlets will provide me capability to recharge cellphone and GPS, will need 120v while camping.

Small netbook will be used at WiFi locations, such as campgrounds for daily updates and uploading pictures to the web. Will, probably, have 4-5 miniDV 60min cassettes for video.

Bunch of cables, chargers etc.

Bunch of maps...

From the bikes spares, only essential tools for minor repairs, of course, tubeless tire repair kit and chain oil.

Perishable food will be kept in home made pannier-top bag. I sewed inside liner out of foil emergency blanket and will be using dry ice for cold (vodka and beer go in first).

Sigarettes, chewing gums, other food. or yee, backpack hydration pack and bunch of trailmix bars for snacks.

Bearbell will be hanging on front RH side turn light for safety luck.

Bike neck scarf.

Clothes:
Two short/pants
4 t-shorts
Bunch of socks and other private clothes
Toothbrush, body/hair shampoo, towels, toilet paper and sit covers etc...

...and yes, medical kit...
