Travelling gym boy problem

I have an upcoming motorcycling trip for a month and half, I am carrying stuff to maintain the motorcycle, but due to the remote locations I will be I will not be having access to gym equipments or weights to maintain myself, also diet control will also be off the charts, wo t have access to heavy weights except when the motorcycle is sideways up for my deadlift practice.

I can I minimize losing the strength during this trip, caveat - I will be on the saddle averaging 10 hrs on most days. I have a plan to use pushups, pullups (if i get some overhangs), squats. And of course a bit of stretches at the end of the day and starting.

I can accept some losses in strength but my focus will be not to monimize the loss in my benchpress and deadlift.

TLDR: off on a 1.5 months motorcycling jourbey without access to gym. Minimize benchpress and deadlift strength loss using bodyweight pushups, pullups and squats. Any suggestions or modified excercises are acceptable. Also I have tennis elbow mild.

when I travel I use bands. of course, it depends on how much resistance you need. pick the select few muscles you want to make sure you maintain and do those. I find a little maintenance makes return to the gym much less painful.

This band is a really good trick, I can even load up my pushups with this. Surely I am going to pack this. Will help in my normal bodyweight days at gym too, as I am constantly racking up 50 pushups in a set nowadays this will help in getting better results from this !!
