Depending on where you live you might want to pack two trees.

I love how he really maximizes the use of his 15k BMW, he doesn't treat it like some kind of garage queen.

"Switch to a hammock and tarp"

*The mosquitos liked that*

[recurrenTopology]

Great advice, but there are a couple necessary additions to your sleeping set-up :
1) Mosquito net. Surprised this hasn't been a problem for you, as the mosquitos in BC are hellacious following spring thaw.
2) Under quilt. That sleeping bag ain't doing much for the half of your body lying on the hammock, as compressing the insolation renders it ineffective. An under quilt attaches to the underside of a hammock to insolate you from the air below, necessary for a comfortable night in colder weather.

As a guy who has anxiety so bad leaving the house to go anywhere other than work is a challenge, this is pretty inspiring.

My friend, I'm running up on 50 very fast, been camping light and riding since before you were born and I can tell you ONE thing. Boy, you know how to camp. Keep spreading the fine word, you're doing a fantastic job.

As a long time backpacker and new dual-sport owner, motorcycle camping is definitely within my interests. Imagine my horror when nearly every moto-oriented YouTuber making camping videos is packing enough gear to survive for a year, and that's not counting all of the useless stuff they'll never really need or use! Thanks for bringing in a bit of reason.

Nice bike and video very informative. Thanks Quentin Tarantino.

4:34 For a second there I thought you said hand sanitizer makes a functional Beaver Lube, was worried what you were doing to your national animal.

0:23 "...3 days THAT way"
If I did that, I'd be in france. I don't live in france.

Great video but for one important missing message, never 'pack' your 1st aid kit away from full view. If for any unfortunate reason you suffer a misadventure and you're incapacitated, it could be a lifesaving decision when a passer by has quick and easy access to a first aid kit. Happy trails...

Well made video that actually presents a small motorcycle camping kit setup compared to ALL the other youtube videos of people bringing more stuff on their trip than what they could bring in a car...

To anyone reading this looking for moto camping advice. I would switch to looking at hiking/backpacking gear videos. Thats pretty much the gear you should have on a bike and would be much more informative on how to stay comfortable/dry.

[johndailyva]

Watching this during 2020 -- his recommendation for hand sanitizer was well ahead of his time haha

[CoalWorxDiesel]

i live in the appalachian mountain region and whenever me and my friends go motocamping we always boil some water (decontamination) and put it in our water bladders the night before then let them sit in the river overnight that way they stay cool. since the mountain streams are so cold it functions like a refridgerator

[michaelsupple]

Being a former AT hiker there wasn't anything new about the packing but the use of the seat for a seat was priceless. Never would have thought of that. Your vids are the BEST. Thanks. :)

Great advice for young men. You have an energetic style of reporting. I used to camp every trip only stopping at a motel or friends place every few days to get a real bath. I have some interesting stories of visiting animals. I'm 65 now and camping, even in a hammock or tent is hard on the body, especially with a history of hard impacts with the ground. My Pelvis just doesn't like being on the ground or in a hammock. However, I have been considering going to soft luggage because the hard luggage is heavy and I'm beginning to bang my knees on them when mounting. I have seen some interesting tents that hang in the air, but one needs trees. I have hung my tent from my bike like a lean-to. Camping is fun when you're young; not so much when you get old. But I plan on riding to the end of my days.

[javiermaceira]

I had this hydraulic tent that cost me 130 bucks or so. Wide, well ventilated and easy to pull and save. I always carried a double inflatable mattress with me and a blanket. It was amazingly comfortable inside. Best sleep and best rides. I don't think it was bulkier than what he was carrying. Worth a try!

I find all of your videos either informative and/or entertaining. This one however was my favorite to date. I recently purchased a new adventure bike and was under the impression I would need to spend thousands of dollars to equip myself for a journey. I now see how many ways I can truly save time and money. Thank you for taking the time to break it all down.
