Thank you! The frame size is 52cm on the Checkpoint. I could technically pull off smaller 49cm if I swap out some parts, but the 52cm frame let me put more stuff in the main triangle. I'm happy with my frame size choice. And yes, the rear rack is the skinner and lighter version of Bontrager rack. I put together a gear list here: www.suguru.net/gearlist

Thank you so much! More episodes coming soon.

Thank you! Those who watch and subscribe give me really great and positive feedback. I hope I can reach more viewers for sure.

Not sure if it was for the while video, but I believe I used Sennheiser MKE400 where I could.

Other than a few b-roll shots where you see the footage panning, yes, the camera was on a tripod.

LOL! I hear a lot of great things about the Tenere 700. I really think the camera can be really anything. Just go for it!

It will take a while as I got go through a 72+ frames, but really can’t wait to see the result. Just hoping the age hasn’t destroyed it. If it turns out OK, I have one more roll that I’m planning to put in the MP. Fingers crossed.

​@@garactacle вы рисковый парень! Слайд сложен для съемки, даже если он новый. Сам снимаю на него, не сразу получилось. Но очень круто выходит. Пробовал снимать на просроченый Orwo - ерунда.

The Svartpilen 701 is a real hidden gem of a motorcycle, robbed from us way too quickly with only 2 model years. I'm going to hold on to mine as long as I can.

@@garactacle Exactly. I will never sell mine assuming it will be worth something under good condition in 20 Years

How do you like it? Mine is loaded and carried everyday.

That’s me getting the local weather forecast. I get that when I arrive at a campsite to be aware of possible rain, freezing temp at night etc.

It’s the 3rd item down in camping/shelter and accessories. Will be revamping the list to include image and description soon.

Really glad to hear you liked it. Don’t know if I qualify as an organized person but I guess you need some level of organization when you have a tiny space to work with.

The Pentax 17 is actually very well put together, probably more than some short-term reviewers realized. It’s a joy to use.

Thank you!

Thank you so much for watching and I’m glad you liked the style. More to come for sure and I’ll try to refine the style while keeping it still lowkey and relaxing.

Thank you so much for waiting so long and I’m glad you are still here. Definitely more to come so please stay tuned.

Thank you so much, and I'm glad you are resonating with the theme. Definitely more to come.

Thank you for waiting, and I am really glad you like that shot. I'm hoping to incorporate the photography aspect more into the future videos.

They are made by Wesco. I can't find the exact model but here is the website: builder.wescoboots.com/ (also added to the Gear List page: www.suguru.net/gearlist)

Thank you so much for watching. The list is not fully complete but I'll keep at it.

It’s been too long. Thank you for coming back for the new video. Definitely more to come. I really enjoyed incorporating film photography aspect into the episode. Hoping I’ll be doing more of this.

Thank you! I'm assuming you were asking about LUT? It was something I improvised. :)

I gotta watch some REAL Japanese moto camping videos. :) Not sure if I'm authentic Japanese enough at this point... If you have recommendations, I'd (and I'm sure others) love to know!

@@garactacle To be honest, no I cannot reccommend any particular Japanese moto vlogger, simply because there is usually no speech and/or in Japanese! They just seem to have a nack of filming/editing and using beautiful and innovative gear. Some of them also cook up lovely looking Japanese food. You just have to search and see what comes up. I like Harley's so I search for that along with Japanese/moto camping.

Thank you so much, and sorry for the looooong wait! New episode dropping in less than 2 hours.

Thank you so much! Truly means a lot. Sorry for the long wait, but finally a new episode is dropping today, and more coming soon.

@@garactacle can’t wait to check it out ❤️👍🏻

Thank you so much! The Triumph is a capable camper for sure.

Thank you and sorry for the long wait! Finally a new episode is dropping in 1.5 hours. I promise more coming soon.

Thank you! Super late reply but hope someone find it useful: the hand guard I'm using is Barkbuster Storm model. These can be mounted single point either onto the handlebars or the bar-ends. It's not for adventure riding protection as much as 2-point design, but they sure protect your hands from cold winds. Of course if your bike can take 2-point attachment, you can mount that way, too.

Thank you so much! I am out of hiatus and a new episode is dropping today.

Sorry of very late reply, but the microphone used (may not be for all shots) Sennheiser MKE 400. I'll be putting this in the Gear List that I just published.

The Svart/Vit 701 was short-lived so it might be a bit hard to find them now. You might wanna talk to your nearby Husky dealer and see if they can locate one. Unit Garage makes their own version of pannier system that works on this bike as well although I haven’t tried one myself.

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much! New video dropping today.

Thank you so much, and I'm glad you liked the style that I'm going for. New episode dropping toady and definitely more coming.

Thank you so much. I'm finally coming out of hiatus and new video is dropping today. I'm a fan of aeropress and love their portable kit, but really can't beat the size of Soto dripper that I use in many of my videos. You can see that in action in today's video.

For this one, it’s a a combination of Leica SL2-S with Summicron 35mm, iPhone 15 Pro Max and Insta360 One RS. See my reply to earlier comment for more details.

@@garactacle thank you👍

Thank you! Although I love moto-camping, I’m also finding bikepacking/camping to be really unique, challenging and yet relaxing. Definitely looking forward to doing both.

Super happy to hear and thank you very much for your feedback. I’ve been contemplating about moto vs bicycle contents. While I love both, not everyone can ride motorcycle - and bicycle is more accessible to broader range of people and maybe thus more relatable. I’m definitely planning to create videos featuring both mc and bicycle camping moving forward.

Thank you for watching the episode. This video was a mix of Leica SL2-S with 35mm Summicron (main), iPhone 15 Pro Max (wide angle shots) and Insta360 One RS for on-bike footage.

Your solo camp with solely the 15 Pro Max was awesome! Did you use any extras on the phone? (ND filter, lenses, etc)

My iPhone setup is with neewer.com/products/neewer-pa023-metal-cage-video-rig-iphone-15-pro-66603710 and filters as needed. The cage would make the phone a bit bulky, but you can use tripod, filters straps, even external mic and such.

@@garactacle Thank you so much!

Thank you so much! Great to see a fellow TGN supporter crew here. Really happy to hear you are resonating with this style of videos and that's giving you the little "push" you needed. Yeah, Adventure Coffee is really fun and quite bit easier to start with. Get a small folding chair, coffee kit, maybe a table and go! If you really liked doing that, then you got some nice starter kit to expand to a full on backpacking setup later.

Thank you! My camping kit/setup is originating from my moto-camping needs (with not very touring/adv centric bikes) so they are pretty compact and minimalistic though not the most ultralight. Looking forward to see where it goes for bikepacking as I do more of that this year. If you are into watches, check out my IG instagram.com/garactacle/ for more watch centric contents!

I definitely love moto-camping, but I also felt the satisfaction and a bit of serenity with bikepacking. Moto-camping isn’t going anywhere and I’ll keep things pretty laid back here, but I think I’ll be doing another bikepacking soon.

北カリフォルニアにはクマさん、結構います。その他には、キツネ、コヨーテ、マウンテンライオン等が多いです。僕は基本的に州立公園内でキャンプするようにしています。（ある程度施設管理がしっかりしていて、情報もこまめにアップデートされます。）今のところ直接の遭遇はありませんが、フンを見たり、ヨセミテなどの国立公園でのニアミスは結構あります。食べ物や匂いのあるものの取り扱いにはできるだけの注意を払っています。実は一番直接被害を受けているのは、アライグマ（動画内で「トラッシュパンダ」と呼んでいる）だったりします。本当に安全第一（人にも熊にも）で楽しみたいですね。

@edfox9944 さん コメント、ご視聴、ありがとうございます！積載量の少ないバイクや自転車なので、ミニマムな装備でやりくりしつつ、過程を楽しむのが良いですよね。日本の方（お住まいもしくは言語的に）に観ていただける需要がどれだけあるかなと考えていたので、コメント、そしてチャンネル登録までしていただき、とても嬉しいです。
