things that will be handy

Well I found a website called http://findmespot.com/en/ that has little tracking devices you can take with you on trips. Some people use them so they can be rescued and some people use them just so people can see where they have been. Im going to look into taking one with me just so other people can watch my adventure. It will be better than google location because it works off of satellite. Where Im going I wont have a lot of internet access or cell phone service.

A guy I know Mic, is currently on his own arctic motorcycle trip and he has run into something I hadnt thought of much yet. His bank is not letting him access his money in canada. Now I dont know if its just a glitch or if him not talking to his bank in advance caused the issue but the point is you go hungry and run out of fuel if you cant get money. He says his cards show the visa sticker and aught to work anywhere visa is taken but you need this to get sorted out before you get stuck somewhere with no access to funds.

I have also discovered two fuel carrying systems. Rotopax and
Kolpin flat fuel tanks


These tanks would offer me some extended range which will be needed on a few legs of the trip. They aren't as elegant as an auxiliary tank built into the bike but it is a good idea to keep in mind.
