Two important things to consider when planning your trip are how you’re going to finance your adventure and how to best equip yourself to handle an emergency. While it's not impossible to fund yourself while travelling on a motorcycle, it does require careful planning, budgeting, and adaptability. Many travellers have successfully navigated expenses and income by being resourceful and flexible. The RAW panel discusses novel ways to make money on the road and some important things to keep in mind while doing so.

And we also talk about being prepared to handle emergencies while travelling. But, before discussing how a motorcycle overlander prepares for emergencies on a trip, it’s important to understand what constitutes an emergency. We’ll also cover what should be planned, anticipated, or prepared for, and what can be left to chance.

SHOW GUESTS: This month we welcome Michnus and Elsebie Olivier from PikiPiki Overland as our guests. They joined us from their home in South Africa.
