    Simple camping with what you need. "Minimalist" camping you could say. Excellent video. What a moment!.

    3:08 French expression 'hors d'oeuvres'... Wow, as a native French speaker I am impressed to hear that expression from an American -- unless you are a food and cooking aficionado in addition to being an avid motorcyclist and a professional filmmaker. Makes your very interesting videos even more attractive. Thumbs up! Félicitations!

    I do really like the oil drain pan idea for a fire and cooking, I will have to implement this in my kit. Thank you✌🏼

  • @mikemills5144
    @mikemills5144 3 года назад

    Next time you are starting the fire wrap a potato in foil (shiny side in) and leave it in for about 1/2 hour then turn it. When you get down to the coals and everything is done cooking it should be ready. Usually takes 45 min to an hour in total. Open it up, drop in some butter or sour cream and will go nicely with the steak.

    Yes, you need to watch for trains on that track. It's active but limited for what I believe is a mining operation. I've seen a train on it while hiking the Arizona Trail, which is across the river from where you were. That is a beautiful area, thanks for sharing your outing!

    Hello Sterling, I have been watching your movies from way back and loving every single minute of filming you put out. I have one question: What is the size of that Opinel knife you use?? I don't think its a size 8! Is it the #12? It is not on your product list. Thank you again for all those fantastic videos/movies. Where is your cocktail lady? Cheers

    Thanks for another great video Sterling. Even though I'm more of an adventure biker than a van camper, a van definitely has some advantages and creature comforts, viz.regulated temperature - no cooking in the heat with riding gear/helmet. Less energetic, especially when having to lift a bike after a mishap/put-down. One can take a lot more things with in a van. Better insulation/protection from the elements and security while sleeping inside a van vs a tent, especially out in wilds of Africa.

    The Sonoran Desert tourism office (if it exists) should hire you! Thank you for LNT’ing your fire. 🙏 Drives me nuts when people show creating new fire rings on YT. Your solution is so simple and cheap. 👍 By the way - who’s filming at 2:03 or is your van remote controlled? 😉 😂 Another great video, as always!
