What I Pack For A Motorcycle Camping Trip

  • This is what I pack for a short motorcycle camping trip. I am currently in the middle of an ADV motorcycle trip and decided to talk about what I had on my bike with me.
    There are different setups for different types of motorcycle travel and this is my setup for just a short ride, and overnight (or two night) camping trip. If I was packing for a longer ride there would be some other items in there as well, but this was a short trip to test out some new camping gear.
    This is the same setup I would use if I was on the pavement, I just happen to be riding off road this weekend. So even if your tires never touch dirt, this video still applies.
    Hope you enjoy this video, thanks for watching!

    I’m surprised you don’t have more companies wanting to sponsor you. You’re an excellent salesman. Every time you post a video it costs me money lol. My camping gear is now pretty much identical to yours and I’m very happy with the things you recommend.

You do such an amazing job and fill each one with useful information that I am sure will pay off as I enjoy my trip. I've done plenty of riding but not very much camping so you are a true asset when it come to combining the two. Keep up the outstanding work.

    I'm glad. You touch on first aid kit . alway carry one on my bike , along with a foil survival blanket with hand warmers. I been stranded off-road over night , these make a bad night. A lot better also carry two chem lights. This will save on flash light battery or to use your having to motorcycle headlight.

My wife & I are working hard to limit weight & bulk. Your tips are helpful. Keep up the good work.

    Actually very encouraging to see you get a tad haphazard on the packing. I am still on a 60 year journey towards "organized", so I'll be getting some packing cubes eventually. Meantime, the TigerExplorer is back from getting new tires and do-dads, so I'm ready to throw my mess together and ride!

    I’ve been planing a 45 day outing from the Northeast to Northern Alaska and then back down to the coast of Oregon and California and back home again. I say 45 days, but it will take as long as it takes. I enjoyed your video and I bought packing cubes (thank you very much). My list has more clothes than you mentioned in your video but not excessively so. Everything I am wearing was selected for their wicking properties or layering. My entire garment list packs into one 37 liter pannier with room to spare thanks to your suggestion to use the packing cubes. I will be taking a Jet boil, dehydrated food, mostly breakfast stuff, cereal, granola, and fruit leather. I’ve been watching Amanda of “As the crow flies” for meals I can easily fix and buy ingredients along the way. Thanks for Sharing your adventure(s) and your knowledge..... Ride Safe!! Roger

    @darrellmader1011 5 лет назад

    Thanks Tim. I have packed equal loads of necessary equipment for road running. My tour is of a longer duration and I carry a tad more allowing for longer camp comfort. From this video I learned that I do not pack too much for short duration motorcycle trips. I pack all equipment in SealLine duffels, strapped to the passenger seat and hold bars, and use bag liners in the panniers. I carry a scale to ensure pannier inserts are equal in mass. Much improved handling from this effort. Enjoy the road Brother.

    • @FTAAdventures
      @FTAAdventures  5 лет назад

      Thanks Darrell, I use a scale too, I try to get things even before I leave and then try to keep everything on the same side it starts in. Can be tricky to do though, easier said than done. Ride safe!

  • @MrWizardofozzz
    @MrWizardofozzz 4 года назад +1

    I've always tried to cut down my weight and found water was my largest issue.. Each bottle is 1.1lbs and I use to carry 4-5 of these depending on my adventure.. Then I found the grayl water bottle that filters any water source into clean drinking water and weighs only 300gr plus removes more of the nasty's than most filters and is used world wide .. My area is all streams and rivers and this device lightened my load by about 4lbs.. Jet boil, the grayl water filter bottle and the gosun solar stove are my favorites, make sure to get the stove adapter for the jetboil .. i think we have nearly the same gear, but I found the REI air-light chair was more comfortable for me(and less costly), my 25000 mah charger is also a booster for my battery and my first aid kit is about 20x smaller.. I figured if i get injured bad enough to use it, I would not be looking to continue my journey.. Electric espresso machine(340gr) and short wave radio are my luxury items.. Nice video..!!

    Tim, thank you for another great video. I've watched most of your content and even read your book, which is a great read. I have learned a ton and look forward to each new post. One thing that's been mentioned various times here and there is rain. Moto camping, and videos about it, are better on the sunny warm days of course. You've done at least one video on cold weather gear and camping. How about a video specifically on dealing with sustained rain. Suppose you are on a long trip in cool weather and it just rains constantly for days. Eventually you seek refuge in a hotel but when you are stuck riding, camping, cooking, living in the rain, how do you deal with it. I'm sure you can offer some great tips based on your experience.

    • @FTAAdventures
      @FTAAdventures  5 лет назад +1

      Steve, I am definitely going to put that video together soon. I have been getting a lot of request for it. I was hoping for a rainy day to show it in action but we don't many of those around here so I may need to just make the video without the rain. Thanks for the comment my friend.

    Jetboil seems a good friend in a motorcycle trip. I have old 'campingas' stuff.

      Rui, here is a link to packing cubes, but I am not sure if it will show up for you out of the US. amzn.to/2TMJuU3

    Great video as usual with a few good pointers. I've been around quite a few times more than you but it's always good to see how others do it and a lot of the new ideas are technology based. I'll get myself a Pacsafe and water filter for justin (case) but I cannot resist commenting on your North American footwear. We here in Oz call them thongs not flip flops, so much more evocative don't you think? Also I think the ground sheet you have under your tent is nice for keeping the tent base clean, but you do have to be careful if it rains overnight, as water running off the tent onto the groundsheet can then flow back under your tent base... I always make sure it doesn't extend beyond the canopy of the fly. I also carry a light stainless steel billy for boiling water on a fire (so much nicer than a gas burner if there are no total fire bans). Oh and yes, I gave you a thumbs up on your Sawer Squeeze review video too :)

    The greatest value of the pannier liners is that you no longer have to carry the panniers to the cheap hotel and up three flights of stairs. In your gear and boots.

    I don’t recall if you ever talked about compressed biodegradable towels. I keep 7 in one of those orange waterproof match holders in the outside Molle webbing of my first aid kit. I think they are great I prefer them to wet wipes that dry out in here the AZ heat in my saddle bags.

    Great timing on the video. Hopefully, I will be headed out tomorrow for a trip from Oklahoma to Tucson via southern NM, then to southern Utah then ??? If nothing too major happens here at home, Wifee said I should be gone between 2-3 weeks. We'll see. Thanks for the good tips on all your videos. I almost had forgotten to get jerky!

I am taking a year (or more) to explore my own interests and a lot of solo travel including finally riding to Alaska and heading to baja and beyond in my 4x4 van. I’m stoked

    Hey Tim, love your vids. Suggestion - helmet is highest point on your bike. Use it as a see-me-coming flag. A flat black helmet is for the Harley crowd. White is best! Probably cooler too. Simple test - look for riders with dark helmets then look away just a few degrees...they disappear from your vision! Then look for white helmeted riders...

    Nice Shinkos, look forward to comparing notes at the end of the year. I stopped carrying an E-tool (shovel), it was too heavy and I found i rarely used it. I get it if it is to put out fires. I drown and stir until heat is gone. I also carry a small poop spade I can use if needed.

    • @FTAAdventures
      @FTAAdventures  5 лет назад

      I use it for fires, I dont carry enough water to drown it out so the metal shovel helps. It is heavy though 😑 tires are great so far.

    When I was younger I took a bike trip but couldn't leave the bike for fear my $300 sleeping bag would be gone before my hike was over. So I seen the grand canyon from near the parking lot. Today I think I would make a mount for a back pack. Leave the things easy to replace like clothing and food on the bike, take the goodies with me in the back pack.

    What is the helmet chin mount you use with your GoPro?
    I’m currently using an AGV K6 helmet, but it’s pointed at the chin and need an offset mount similar to yours.

    Where are you mountain camping this early ? It is so snowy here in utah and i NEED to get up into mountain riding and camping.
    How did you like the beef stew? It is one of my favorite with a little garlic salt and pepper it is pretty good .
    P.S, like the new helmet.

    • @FTAAdventures
      @FTAAdventures  5 лет назад

      Getting warm here in Phoenix, we will be in the 90s soon and then triple digits. Beef stew was awesome, not sure which is my favorite. Turkey dinner is pretty great too.

    That’s a nice sleeping pad ,however you’ll know total and absolute comfort if you ever try a leisure lite cot from Therm o Rest (American Made) . It breaks down smaller than just about any sleeping pad.

    • @WDGFE
      @WDGFE 4 года назад

      I’ve looked at this and similar cots, but have one concern: It looks to me like all the weight is concentrated at tiny spots on the tent floor. What’s the potential for this damaging or prematurely wearing holes in the floor?
      I see they have some kind of “coasters” available for the cot feet, so maybe not so much of a concern?

    Great video don't have to always be super neat. Sometimes it's fun to just throw in the gear. Makes life a mystery when unpacking at night.
