.. speaking of coffee and tea you can get an inexpensive €.5-2 cup of expresso/cappuchino in europe, turkish/greek coffee I greece and free tea at any purchase at any gas station in turkey, or any food purchase in muslim countries. There's no reason to carry something half world you won't need until you get to australia.. can be purchased there. As for time 7 days, 7 weeks, 7 month it's all the same if you don't use something for weeks you don't need it, IMO. And weight is relevant for the state of your bike and when you need to pick it up. There were times in central asia when I started day by looking for welder, 4 days in a row sometimes.

@OP look into guesthouses iOverlander has some info and some listed in booking.com and in google; they're common in eastern europe and asia.. other parts of the world too. Talk to locals when you are going through village and see people selling food (tomatoes, potatoes, etc) they can be talked into cooking it for you. When my frame cracked and local "master" and I worked on the bike for a couple days I stayed in his house and he fed me.. all together was pretty cheap. And places selling food in remote villages where there's no guesthouses can let you stay overnight when customers gone; at least you would have roof over your head. You might end up listening to donkeys all night but that's another story. Make sure your Google translate works well; if you don't have service prepare some key phrases in advance good luck.

Hello

I might be lost in translation, but usually motorbikes are built for two persons, so taking a cooker and desent tent will not crack the frame.

If you can't lift the bike because of the cooker and tent, take it off and lift the bike.
Piece of advice, don't drop the bike to often.

But in the end, everybody has to find their own way of traveling.

Agree it's likely lost in translation; perhaps we have different adventure in mind?

Traveling alone along Silk road I had seen roads which haven't been paved since 1976 or I was told so by locals. And you know it's gonna be good when cars leave the road and run through the fields The shop which was welding my bike told me they had a german with honda 2 week prior replacing rear shock with one from Lada; I'd love to see that.

As for unloading bike it depends on how it's gone down and where; and things are different at 12-14000' altitude much harder when you are out of oxygen. And it's unrealistic to get something out of if bike is laying down on it. As for not dropping bike good advice LoL.. especially in mud, deep sand, loose rock, fech-fech or in the middle of river x-ings, just because a bridge got washed out.

Hello

Piece of advice, for difficulte rivercrossings, take of the baggague and walk it over.

I don't know what you understand of an adventure RTW with a motorbike?

As I said before:
"Small bikes and extreme light baggage are good in the sand and single tracks, but on a "normal RTW" you have to search for that.
All the known great routes are getting paved, 10 years ago there where a lot of construction sites on the Ruta 40, is there any gravel left?"

I did only a "normal RTW", nothing extreme but still an aventure to me:

Exept a day trip in the sand in Archers N.P., all with cooker and tent. (Videos 2011-2013)

My thoughts on the original enquiry, which was about lodging I believe.
Lodging is different throughout the world, I’m sure you know:
It’s possible to find lots of free camping in the US - we struggled to find hotels, down the east side, lately below $90.
We stayed in a brand new 4* hotel in Albania for £20, including dinner - the next night we paid more to stay on a Dutch owned campsite.
Etc etc etc…..

I think you will find your own rhythm and travelling style after a few months.
Personally I don’t breakdown and calculate finances because there’s too many variables.

My advice is too just go with the flow - peaks and troughs, whether that’s financial, mental or physical.

In eastern US all land is private and if you camp on someone's property you may be booted out in the middle of the night by a bunch of slightly drunk well armed rednecks.. discretion advised. It is legit to camp free on National Forest land as long as you don't start fires and there are other opportunities parking lots, etc.. here's a couple good sources/locators
