I absolutely love motorcycle camping. Much more affordable than hotels/ motels. Peaceful, relaxing and it feels so good to be out in the fresh air.. there's nothing like motorcycle camping.
Touring Midwest I keep my gym membership up so I can get gym showers when I am on the road. Smelling like a Billy Goat is so 1960s.
Dont forget you sleep under 1000 stars not 5 stars hotel
Dead on Bro. " Pick your trash up when you leave"
Should be common knowledge, but ...
Take your trash!
👌
Such a good point to many littered camping sites these days,
baby wipes! 👌
Thanks for posting, something I look forward to doing.
Love this. Have not camped yet but its on my list and this video was helpful
Boy scout motto, leave no trace. Happy to hear you throw that in there!
great video, I have been doing this for years and have found its the best way to enjoy the country and keep expense's down. my daughter and wife always love going with me. And something I have learned as mentioned below, the unexpected. if you are not packed for it go buy what you need on the cheap and either give it to the homeless or mail it home to keep your loads down when finished. I use a 10 dollar tarp when I hit rain and make a lean to. works great.
To carry duct tape:
(1) from a plastic milk jug, cut out a piece about 3” wide by 5”-6” long. Wrap tape around it, doubling over
the last 1/8” for easy access. A couple of those, and you can have 30%-40% of a roll. Flexible, stores easy.
(2) wrap around the bottom end of a disposable lighter. Tear off a narrow strip to use as tinder for starting fine kindling to start larger kindling to start a campfire.

As a longtime hiker/ biker I can attest to your opinion about the common gear that serves the two activities very well.
Those long 8‘ x 2‘ pool floaty’s that you can lay on in the pool are usually take that and I put that under my sleeping bag. It makes it for a soft comfortable lay down.
Great video! Thanks for the tips
I agree about the Jetboil. Mountain House freeze dried meals are the way to go in my opinion
Get a microfiber bath towel. Fast drying and compact.
Great vid brother ! Very good points !
Have been doing extensive research on this subject. Great video.
Stop doing research and go camping. At first close to home and you will learn what to pack and what not. Every time is different and every time you learn more. I've been camping since I was little, in my parents backyard, then a bit further and longer. Always being great and after 50 years of camping still loving it, only problem is I don't do it often enough.
Get a quick dry swimming towel like the ones competition swimmers use, they are incredibly light, incredibly small, and do the job well also!
Awsome video with good information, thanks and well done!!
thanks!
Good video mate all good tips 👍
Great video and great tips. Loved the end. Leave it the way you wish to find it. Pick up your trash.
A lot of great info.
Extra credit for the MegaDeath lighter
Wet Ones in the single packs work better than the toilet paper, and you can use them to clean up more than your backside. You can clean your hands, you can wipe down your body if you are camping someplace without facilities to get rid of body funk. You can even clean your cooking utensils with them.
SilentBob4x4 Ummm.... Hopefully not all with the same wet one, right? 😳
Excellent job. Only other thing, a good lightweight camp tarp, 10x10 minimum or 12×12 is ideal, IMO. Of course quality rain gear is a given.
Now, tell us about your bike...I like it! 👍😎
Good thanks.
Great information
Nice vid, mate.
A tarp or two and a whisk broom is really handy when camping in the rain.
WHAT IS THE BROOM FOR
Love the last comment.
Pick up your trash!
It blows my mind how much garbage I find at both regular and dispersed campgrounds. I try to pack other's garbage out the best I can but it's a bit more difficult with such limited space.
Pick up your trash!
Towels: poor choice is cotton. Better choice: monofilament. Check out Chaptex cloth. Use one for a washcloth, another for a towel. Also, carry baby wipes. For camp use, they can be torn in half. They dry out; carry them in sandwich sized Ziplock bags, moistened with white vinegar. (It kills bacteria.). Very refreshing to wipe off a sweaty face and neck, full “rag bath”, and “down there care”. From the For What It’s Worth Department.

Agree! Camping from the bike is absolutely awesome! Just you, nothing but the absolute essentials, and nature! Gotta be smart, because you can't just toss your $hit in the cage and leave if weather or other stuff goes sideways. Can't wait for my next trip! Only thing I'd add to your list of supplies to make your trip a little better is a backpacker camp chair. There are a few different kinds on Amazon, so I won't plug a specific brand. They're super tiny and convenient. I can't tell you how amazing these are to sit around in by the fire after a long days' ride. Just my two cents, and certainly not dissing anything you're showing here. Great video! Can't wait for the next one!
Great advice about the chair. I have Helinox Chair Zero, but any type of chair like that will make all the difference. Mine fits easily in a backpack.
Anthony Putney Right?! 👍🏼
Awesome
Got a subscriber from sri Lankan moto Camping club ✌
Before I head out, I spray my gear and clothing with permethrin to repel and kill mosquitoes, ticks, and other bugs. Tops of socks, inside of lower pant legs & shirtsleeves, groin areas of pants and underwear, tent screens and zippers and inside corners and ceiling. Available from Walmart; pump bottles cheaper than aerosol. In camp, tuck pants into socks.

Great vid! Here is a pro tip - down or synthetic quilts take up less space than sleeping bags if ya like hammocks they take up less space and are lighter than tents . down side is finding the right trees to support your body weight.
Thats good to know!
Also, some areas don't allow hangs from trees. These folks.have solutions for both situations: www.tensaoutdoor.com/product/tensa2-hammock-stand-formerly-tiggzcraftworkz-carcamp-tele/
A lot of backpacker tents actually way the same or even less than hammocks but are way more$
I saw a tool once that drew a vacuum of the forks then you measure the amount out pour the amount in the open up the vacuum and reverse the process
But I haven’t found it. Do you have it
Even better than using a pencil is to use an old debit card to wrap tape around. It’s the perfect size and you can store more tape in less room.
good tip
For years, I’ve used a 3/4 length air mattress. Unless you’re in below freezing temperatures, there’s no need for a pad below your knees. Use that space and weight allotment for something needed and useful.

I been riding for 20 years and still haven't been MC camping . I need to do it
Right on the money..... take only photos and leave only footprints!
Does your drone handle the vibrations of your bike, and where do you pack it?
wow i have that gear in just one pannier :)
wire a charger on the bike and ditch the battery bank for a ultra light tarp... if it rains.. it sucks being stuck in the tent all day...
When camping in a national forest in sturgis do you need to set up and take down everyday due to theft or do u think it’s safe to leave ur camp set up for the week.
Dont forget a large bottle of Jim of Jack to make some friends on your trip.
Great video all around!
Only thing I would say is that the "hiking" gear you refer to is more commonly known as backpacking gear, and that's how you would find it online and in stores.
I have a anti gravity booster pack just like that...it only charges my phone alittle over two times
Good vid. You forgot the stogies and bourbon though haha! I would take a large survival knife over the axe personally. Its more versatile and it is easier than an axe to split smaller camp wood with it.
Good vid. Don’t forget a long rubber-coated chain with padlock for your ride.
good tip

What do you dig your toilet with? The axe?
cool
I Liked your video, you seem like a good guy. I can’t help think that you’d enjoy your motorcycle camping trips if you ditched the Harley and replaced it with a dual sport ! KTM, GS, Ducati or Triumph Tiger !
Faster, more trusted and way more fun on Tarmac and Dirt .
Ha! You are correct sir. Definitely different experiences, both enjoyed equally. Spent some time in TX,CO - SD on a F850GS last fall and it was rad ruclips.net/video/5s51CF1brD4/видео.html
Also have a 08 KLX450R that is quickly becoming my favorite ride.

A folding pruning saw with an 8”-10” blade is lighter and MUCH safer than a hatchet. You get ten fingers only once in your lifetime. Cut - or simply break- dead wood (NOT wooden fences, picnic tables, or live trees!) into convenient sized pieces.

Where is the 357? LOL!
Ahh, duct tape and Tye-Wraps, the basic life necessities! Can get you out from many problems.
Wet wipes instead of tp
Unforeseen bacteriae on you footsies😅 Very good video. I love moto camping on my adventure bike! Super glue, Zip ties and a battery pack that can jump start your bike! Worth it's weight on gold when you are far away for everything!
Great post...if you guys get a chance, plz check out Long Haul Paul site. He's been doin a million mile trek for MS on his new Yamaha. Thanks
I just tried going motorcycle camping and failed horribly. Didn't pack for rain...
Rain does suck. Don't get discouraged, definitely go again.
"..helps to have flip flops get in there keep your shoes dry and keep your feet, y'know, not from gettin' any unforeseen uh bacterii on your footsies"
Quality advice right there.
Also, if you watch the video at 0.5x speed, this guy sounds drunk af
hahahahahahaha
Thanks for " Pick up your trash "
The most important thing in the video :D
Instead of a head lamp get a cap with leds under the bill
Great informative video. Background music is obnoxious. Thank you
Permits to camp? Need any?
Depends where you are, some campgrounds have a camp host, some state parks have little boxes and envelopes for you to put the camp fee in. in those cases its usually just a couple dollars.
A man with taste ! a Megadeth Lighter !!
Patrick- is that your bike?
Yes it is.

don't put your tent in the sun
Went to a Hennessy hammock and never looked back at a tent or sleeping pad.
Leave the gratuitous reving for the city. If your bike won't stay running without reving it constantly, take it to a mechanic.
