I usually ride with just a tank bag and not much else. For the Alaska trip I had hard bags that came with the bike. One carried mostly spare parts (for my 17 year old 180,000 km bike that now has 230,000 on it)
I don’t wear a communicator
I travelled with a paper map
I guess my point is to not overthink it
