Touring with an extra tank of gas
Going on a trip with a 410km (255 mile) stretch between gas stations. Hopefully this will do it!
3.7 liter (1 gallon) Rotopax, 7.6 liter (2 gallon) Giant Loop gas bag and a 2 liter (1/2 gallon) Touratech fuel canister in a 5.11 Tactical pouch.
Usually only need the 2 liter filled for emergencies and the Rotopax for more remote areas. The gas bag can be rolled up for all but the long stretches.
If this works, the Fury could do the Dalton or the Dempster if gravel isn't a concern!
Think I'll continue to avoid gravel if possible though.

Those roads have been featured on Ice Road Truckers and are usually run in the winter. Both can be done in summer provided there isn't too much rain to turn them into muck. I'm pretty sure the only reason the adventure touring crowd do them is so they can say they did. Very remote and fairly straight and boring. Apparently so is Route 40 in South America but that doesn't seem to matter as much as being able to check it off a bucket list. I guess if I had the time and money I would do the same. If I could, I would try it on the Fury just because people would say you couldn't and I'm stubborn that way!🤣 If Charlie Wiesel can do the Road of Bones in Siberia on a Harley chopper, someone should try this stuff on a Fury!!I think you're good on fuel, but you may not have enough carabiners to make the journey
Not sure I'd want to run the Dalton or Dempster on a Fury... aren't those major trucking routes used primarily in the winter?
After riding every state west of Texas from Mexico to Canada, I decided to go North and have made it to the start of the Dalton outside of Fairbanks, AK, the start of the Dempster in Dawson City, YK, Yellow Knife in the North West Territories, Fort Mackay in Alberta, La Roche and La Ronge in Saskatchewan, Flin Flon and Thompson in Manitoba and hope to cross Canada and do the Trans Labrador highway this summer.
As I approach the big 60, my window on these trips is getting smaller so I have to do them before I can't!
I think he found a good one! He knew her before he left, she waited for him and then joined him for the last couple of years and they are still married and living in California. Be hard pressed to find a woman like that today!
Nope, can't possibly be true... nobody "lives in California" and is a 'good one'I think he found a good one!

That's amazing. Happy for him for having a woman like that. Sad for him to be in CA these days.....I think he found a good one!
