BAJA MOTO PACKING LIST


Moto riders will be provided with a 30L drybag which your clothes, shoes, & toiletries will be transferred  into. We will carry that in the chase truck
We are NOT camping on this trip so that is why the typical camp-related Wilderness gear is omitted from the list below.

Your luggage and any items you don’t wish to bring on the trail with you (IE: clean clothes for flights home), will be locked in the trailer and will be waiting for you after the trip.

Everyone always brings too much, trust us. If you pack what is on this list it will be enough to withstand Wilderness mayhem.
