When you showed your meal cooking in that cast iron skillet I really believed I could smell it frying. Sure looked good. Found an app for COE lake side camp grounds. I didn’t know it but there are three South Carolina just over a hundred miles from me. Talked to Kompact Kamp this morning. My adventure is getting closer to becoming a reality. My local Harley dealer has a hitch ordered for my Tri-Glide. Who knows we may run into each other some day. Thanks for the inspiration to get my 70 something tail out of the woods. Tom
One of the things I like best about hauling a tent trailer... one can carry a decent stove and cooking gear. After a day on the road the last thing one wants to do it get all dressed again to go find a restaurant. I xan eat better and a lot cheaper at camp. Glad to see you will be getting out.
That was an event that I never want to duplicate and I posted so others would think twice about checking their safety chains. I was still in my early hauling days.
I took that road nice ride. I stopped at that restaurant on your right the grey building . Parked in across from the bar and someone tried to steal my kooler. They would have been mad it was only full of ice water lol. Nice little town.
I really enjoy your adventures, as I senior I can identify. This year after 7 years off a bike I am getting back at it and doing some camping - with my Pug! My only concern is that you wouldn't drag your feet on the ground as you start up- this is an easy way to catch a boot and break and ankle; take it from me! Ride safe and have a great 2020!
Thanks for finding the channel and watching. Good advice, I probably have my feet out as out-riggers far more than I need to. Here's to lots of camping in 2020 and lots of safe miles.
Love your trailer and camp setup, It's surprising how much you can carry with you. I'm a bit concerned with the next video - do I want to see the disaster? - Marybeth @outdoorstaycations
Thanks for sharing this series. Another add to the list triple check hookup. Question about box and solar panel. Where did you purchase and would you mind sharing attachment to camper. Like the table idea as well
I've got a Noma 50 watt panel that I bought at Canadian Tire when it was on sale for 1/2 price. It's doing the job so far. I was using a standard cigarette style plug and "waterproof" outlet on the trailer. I just swapped that out for an aviation style 2 pin. Have not edited that video yet. Got a few electrical tweaks I'm doing still.
God, I've got some old gear. They are a Woods brand product. They no longer seem to make this one and they don't have a magic name for the filler anymore. These ones are rated down to only 7C/44F but of course that is survival rating not comfort. I bought those particular ones as they were in a "tall" length, would zip together to make a large sleeping bag for two on occassion and they were also on sale at our Canadian Tire at the time. I have had them over 10 years. I already had a big -10C sleeping bag that just doesn't work for bike camping. I just came off a 3 day cold weather bike ride, video won't be edited for a few weeks, and i put one bag within the other and slid a 12 volt electric throw inbetween the two layers. The electric blanket (running on my solar batteries), on low, auto shuts off after 45 min. Turned it on when lying down,and once in the middle of the night. I was quite comfortable. Sleeping bag shopping is always fun but at least this time of the year one can find sales.
@@richtidd Are you in Canada? These are a Canadian Tire brand and are made in Canada. I lucked into them being the perfect size for the MM. I have 4 of the 36 l ones and 2 of the a6 l ones in the campeer itself and a 27 l one in the black front storage box for my |Little Buddy Heater and some 1 lb. propane tanks. That also halps break up storage container into compartments. www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/mastercraft-heavy-duty-tinted-storage-tote-1421677p.html#srp
I'm using a Woods, MicroLite sleeping bag filled with "Quadratherm Plus" (what ever that is) I bought 2 of them over 12 years ago. These do join together. I'm 6'3" so I like the fact they are long i.e. 75 l" x 33"w single zipped up. They have a 7C/45F rating and I have used them down to 0C/32F with one stuffed in the other, a cheap ripstock liner and a quilt over me. I was in long johns and thermal base layer. They are my goto for camping. With the compression sacks they take up very little room. I don't know if they make the same product now but there must be something similar.
I count on the moss filtering all of that sort of thing out of the water as it comes down the mountain. It's always been some of the best water I have had.
That is a Canadian Tire trailer jack, lists for $50 but always wait for it to be on sale. It is generic, a lot of automotive and boat trailer places carry them. This one fits from 2" square tubing (Mini Mate) up to 3" square tubing. It does make a big difference in set up and moving it around the garage. www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/motomaster-swing-away-trailer-jack-0406927p.html#srp
Wow I contacted Kompact where I bought my mini mate and they told me that it would be hard if not impossible to find one that would fit. But I was sure that you had figured it out. THANKS A MILLION for the information!
Theater technician and uses a swell bottle :D Are we related? What is it about making a puzzle trailer that I'm finding so appealing? And I'm a hammock camper! I'm breaking my brain trying to justify some design to make a Mini into a portable camp kitchen.
All my modifications have their root in touring shows lol. Still tweaking and can't wait to get camping in late May. The best thing about going to trailer camping is the cooking possibilities. I haven't been in a lot of areas where hammock camping is easy. Lots of evergreens and scrub up here.
I'm pretty good at keeping track of my blinkers... no, this is a common thing with action cameras fliming at 60 frames per second. LED lights cycle on and off quicker than our eyes register but the camera picks it up. Not all the time, but quite a bit of the time. I've also had a couple of times when car headlights coming towards me seem to be pulsing but it's due to their LEDs.
Old Guy on a Bike thanks for taking the time to reply. I noticed it again a bit later and I think that made me realise that it was an anomaly. I'm really enjoying your trips. I'm getting my home built trike ready to do just what you are doing so every aspect of how you deal with this life is very valuable to me and others. Thanks again.
Oh yes, I remember that "bad turn" to head up toward the Tablelands and Trout River... Tight doesn't begin to describe it and the camera doesn't do it justice!!!
@@ace1usmc Why? Well, the kilt is very practical in camp. Ever get your jeans or shorts wet while getting in or out of them in a camp shower? The kilt wraps around, so that never happens. Bonus, the women are always wondering what is under the kilt.
It’s a Kilt lol traditional Scottish attire FYI and is great in the summer! I was in a Pipe band and it take some getting used to but it’s way cooler then anything else ✌️🇨🇦
It's a "Woods" brand Microlite bag that I bought about 10 years ago. 75" x 33" which fits my 6'3' body well. Very light yet surprisingly warm. I forgot to mention in the video that I will occasionally use the 2nd one as a throw or in really cold weather I will put one inside the other and double them up that way.

Great video! I camped there on my motorcycle trip in early June
Thanks. It is a great campground.
Well, I just saw the mini mate take off on its own. I’m glad you’re okay. And I could have been a whole worse.
That was an event that I never want to duplicate and I posted so others would think twice about checking their safety chains. I was still in my early hauling days.
Hahahaha, "gonna need that tonight, matter of fact, I need that right now, CHEERS"... Loved it! Lo :)
I can hardly wait to get out camping again... only 5 months lol.
I took that road nice ride. I stopped at that restaurant on your right the grey building . Parked in across from the bar and someone tried to steal my kooler. They would have been mad it was only full of ice water lol. Nice little town.
There are scumbags everywhere... at least there only seem to be a few of them. I do love the ride to Trout River.
Güzel bir video olmuş
Teşekkür ederim. Onları yapmaktan zevk alıyorum. Yay Google translate.
Great video. I plan to visit friends in Norris Point in July and do some camping while in the area.
Trout River and Green Point are my favourite Gros Morne campgrounds. I will have a video on camping at Green Point up in a few weeks.

I see you were stopping at my water fountain!
It's a wonder I did not drink it dry over the years. It was a nice ritual.
Love your trailer and camp setup, It's surprising how much you can carry with you. I'm a bit concerned with the next video - do I want to see the disaster? - Marybeth @outdoorstaycations
The tent trailer has been a travel and camping game changer. I was lucky with the "disaster'. Very lucky.

Interesting project. What was the sleeping bag you mentioned?

What is that black box fastened to the top of the camper at the back used for?
I've got my awning and my propane stove table in it. I'm using it mostly as my "opps" I almost forgot something box.
What is the brand/type sleeping bags you use? I like the rectangular style that can be joined.

And I almost forgot I was carrying the fleece liner I made too. Toasty warm that night but it did not get too cold anyway.
Great video Sir!
Thank you.
Jim that scene in which you stopped for water, did you notice the bear on top of the hill peeing ?
I count on the moss filtering all of that sort of thing out of the water as it comes down the mountain. It's always been some of the best water I have had.
Hello, where did you get that wheel attached to the tongue. What is the proper size for the Kompact railer please^ Tks

U have a lot of gear I like it
The older I get, the more comfortable I want to be. I also like being able to cook my own meals.
Are you still indicating at 5.03 ish ?

Tight and at a wicked angle.
