I usually always travel solo, this time I met one of my friends in northern Norway.
I camped only on camping areas, plenty of them and quite cheap. Spent some nights in hyttes (when weather was bad), easy to find even on tourist season.
I have Hilleberg Nammatj 2GT. Bought it last year for my Iceland trip. I had 2 strap bags on top of the bike (in addition to panniers). I had my packsafe with me, but did not use it, not even once (I mainly stayed out of the cities).
Started the trip on 18th of July (if I remember correctly).

Thanks Marko
I bought a Keron3 GT so I can use with my wife when/if she comes with me on the bike and we camp. I am looking at a Soulo one man tent as I want to do some longer walks in the North of Norway and the Keron is too heavy. The sister tent to the Nammatj 2GT (Nallo 2GT) is lighter in weight, but otherwise looks similar, but is probably heavier than I wish for walking, but does have a large porch area for wet biking gear.
Camping cost us an average of €30/night when we were in Norway this year with a Wohnmobile for the two of us & electrical hookup (Oslo was the most expensive camp site), but it would be a little cheaper without the electricity and only one person. Any particular reason for NOT wild camping?
One further question. You went to Touratech before leaving. What bike spares did you/do you carry when doing an extended trip like this? I have a similar bike to yours.
Like you I am not a great fan of cities, though I may force myself to do some sight seeing in them.
I look forward to reading of your Faroes/Iceland trip. I think not so many people go to Iceland (expensive), though apparently very good for sea fishing.
Cheers
