🏍 WHO IS TIM COLLINS OF FTA ADVENTURES? (FORMERLY FORTY TIMES AROUND)
A lifelong adventure enthusiast and a long time motorcycle traveler, I have spent the last few years honing my craft as a motorcycle adventure specialist.

Motorcycle travel and camping have become my largest passions in life. I have a meticulous nature that helps me analyze gear, technique and tactics in a way that is highly beneficial to anyone looking to embark on a motorcycle venture of any scope.

Retired medic here. First aid training is way more important than a FA kit. You can MacGyver almost everything you'd get in a FA kit from other gear you're already carrying, like duct tape and a t-shirt. The key is to pack for access to it.

A personal tip: I carry Tylenol 3 in my jacket pocket and a camelbak. If I fell off the bike, I can sit still for 30 minutes until the pain pills kick in, then get myself sorted out.

Good advice here. As for a camp stove, I carry a Biolite. It serves two purposes, and I don’t need to worry about fuel because I just burn twigs I can find just about everywhere I go camping. It uses the flame to charge a battery with usb outlets, so while cooking, I charge a power bank. It also has a fan to keep the smoke controlled. To be sure I always have fire wood. I use an ammo can I got at Harbor Freight to store twigs that I just pick up in my yard. The stove packs down to just above the size of a large energy drink can.

5:33 adding a backpacker’s tarp (I use a 12’ x 16’) adds a whole new dimension of comfort to inclement weather riding as you make/break camp and pack/unpack your bike in the dry

I'd like to add that if ground is cold some sort of sleep pad is more than usefully. Nice video .❤

Hello Tim, it's always nice that you share your experiences! Greetings from Michael from Germany!

That list is close to mine. But I dont bring a water purifier because I’m in Australia so we drink the creek water, and I don’t bring a first aid kit. So in those two places I bring a bottle or rum and a pistol to shoot the empty rum bottle.

A classic Tim’s Top Ten list. The Letterman of Adventure Moto!

[pinkiewerewolf]

Excellent list to get people up to speed on Moto camping gear Tim.
Light is right when it comes to the gear. I've packed way too much gear at times. There is a learning curve involved compared to 4-wheel camping or hiking. .

*this is exactly what I was looking for*

[baldandbiking]

Just to add a few things I think are essential: Can opener, lighter, fire starter cubes, cutlery, Food and food supplies, pot or pan to cook in, sleeping mattress or folding cot (yes they make those to pack down super small now),

[Avensur]

Great my friend 👍. I got assemble my camping including a handsaw plus a knife. Can't wait to go on my first adventure camping trip, then I'll let you guys later. Take care Tim and enjoy.

[markchristianson]

Thanks for the tips that will be good info when i do my first bike camping instead of of car lol

[pjdebeer]

Nice video, Greetings from South Africa.🌍 also big fan of the sleeping pad, so compatible with wild camping, i just use a thick tarp under my pad always to prevent any small things from making holes haha

[Jon_Bass]

Makes my day to see a fresh FTA video posted! Great reminder to bring an extra clothing layer for varying temps, and thanks for the suggestion of a decent sized folding knife for splitting wood. The Surviveware first aid kits really are thoughtfully arranged. I picked one up on your recommendation a while back. All the best, Tim!

[eddcurry]

Another great video. Stay safe Tim. Chin up wheels down.
You gotta have fire, water, and shelter when camping.

[gordonhenderson]

Good save, Tim - sleeping pad. A necessity, in my opinion. Cheers!
