A stove to cook food and have a warm coffee in the morning.

A bit bulky but you can always offer it as a present to a nomad family before you leave. You'll make them very happy.

In recent years, the Mustang 150cc made in China has become a must in the mongolian steppe, seducing nomads even in the most remote areas These bikes are now preferred to the old IZH Planeta and prove to be the perfect companion for travel in rough conditions. 2.5 liters per 100 kms, electric start and an assortment of luggage racks capable of transporting huge cargoes are arguments shock for those who crisscross the steppe
With a GPS and a good tent, the adventure is now within reach of everyone.
Spare parts are widely available in all village markets and any nomad will be able to repair them, even in the middle of nowhere.
WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF MECHANICAL FAILURE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STEPPE
First thing not to do is to panic. Then you can light a cigarette, have a drink and look around. Nomads should appear quickly on their horses or motorcycles and ask what is your problem, which means that this is the end of yours. Except in the desert of the Gobi which is, as its name suggests, deserted, this is the scenario that should be offered to you. A nomad can disassemble a Shineray engine at night and in the middle of winter and will be happy for a little money to help you out.
WE WILL ASK YOUR PASSPORT OR 700 EUROS PER MOTORCYCLE AS A DEPOSIT
LAST AND MOST IMPORTANT ADVICE
DRIVE SLOWLY AS YOU REALLY DON'T WANT TO PAY A VISIT TO A MONGOLIAN HOSPITAL. AND IF IT IS EASY TO REPAIR A SHINERAY, IT IS NOT THE SAME FOR A HUMAN BODY. NEVER FORGET THAT IN CASE OF ACCIDENT, THERE WILL BE NO AMBULANCE OR HELICOPTER.
SO BE RESPONSIBLE
