These videos are really therapeudic for me in this crazy world. Much appreciated.
Glad you like them!
Nice to see your adept with your skills for survival
Awsome to watch this !
Awesome, no expensive adventure bike and just the basics. Love it.
Those wonderful and human things that happen to all of us (falling coffee, breaking a complicated car, ...) that makes your stories believable and more human. Thank you very much Careena and keep it up!👏👏👏👌
Yes I agree. I like her videos alot
Nice choice for a bush bike with the Yamaha XT250 there Lexi... Simple aircooled injected bike, not much to go wrong in the bush. No radiator, no coolant hoses, no thermostat to fail. Pretty bulletproof little bikes. Nice choice.
Indeed!
I was going to ask. Ty
At 9:58 a loud tree knock! Enjoyed your camping adventure. I love your genuine nature and passion for the outdoors. You always cook great meals. Way to stay healthy!! Your channel is very relaxing to watch. Be safe.
Good catch!! You know what that is I know what that is. Ya I have seen them.
I heard that too there was a big echo to follow 😮
Damn... you heard that?!?! lol
Nice one... it took me 3 tries.
I like the setup it's simple and practical using the raincoat as a tarp.
The whole cooking food without a pot or pan, did not expect that. That was cool to see. Especially the eggs.
Thank you for your videos and your work you put in them.
Thanks for watching!
@@careenaalexis always!
This is by far my favorite video you've done so far. You included a lot of things I really like. I'm a huge fan of motorcycle camping and already thought you were badass before I seen you do it. Now only more so lol. Also I'm big on understanding your landscape and knowing a few things about the trees, plants and wild life that surround you, so good on you for getting into that too! And also that stool you brought is one of my favorites. I think you should try it again next time, but it defiantly works better with some longer sticks for legs. Also for the top of the legs that slide into the leather sleeves of the stool, it's good to round those ends out a bit with a bevel on the wood. Helps keep the leather seat in good shape in the long term.
I remember in a video a while ago, you expressed some worries of rather or not these videos are worth it for you to keep doing. That's up to you to decide of course, but there's a lot of us who really do appreciate them.
Thank you so so much for the kinds words, feedback and encouragement! You have no idea how much reading positive comments like this from someone who actually cares and put their time into showing me really means to me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I certainly don't want to give up on making videos any time soon, some of them will not be the most epic, but I will always try to put out videos that add some measure of value or entertainment. Thanks again!
Careena, I enjoyed the video. I know you like to use traditional old school gear, so I won't throw out too many ideas.
I'm 63, and live down in Idaho. I've been solo camping off my Harley for decades. I love the freedom and adventure it provides. Camping off a bike means you keep it simple and minimal.
For shelter, I use a military poncho, GoreTex Bivy, Tyvek ground sheet, Down Bag & Air Pad. Usually I like a plow-point setup which provides adequate cover. If I have no trees, I'll tie to the high-side of the bike, opposite to its lean. I use a puck for the kickstand, if needed.
My mess is a titanium mug, stuffed with some Hex Fuel tabs, foil, a P38, spork, Granola Bars, creamer, and Medaglia D'Oro (instant espresso). I like to eat locally in town at a diner or bar & grill... Tasty looking grub though!
My bikes saddle bags hold a trauma kit, Bic, small Gerber MxTool, and a change of clothes. Good boots, my vest & jacket, a lite hoody, and plenty of cash.
Each time I go, I'll take note of what I used and didn't. Most people bring too much crap. Baby whips and TP are always included...
One last thing... for personal protection an airhorn is amazing. It'll scare the Bajeebers out of any low life who happens by. I've had black bears wander up to me in the night... one blast, and they left a trail of pucky that necessitated a shovel to bury.
Happy & Safe adventures!
This is one of the best videos I have seen lately, brought back a lot of memories of camping with my daughter. Thanks!!
And this, boys and girls is how it is done! Outstanding, Careena... just outstanding!
agreed!
It’s just so darn awesome to watch you do your thing 👍🏻 and to have you include a dualsport, well now you’re really talking my language! That’s what I’m all about “DUALSPLORING” and motocamping! Great video Careena! Thanks. Cheers from the west coast, eh!
Great skills young one !
From "tarp-poncho" shelter , to bacon on a stick, egg pods you keep a camp lively.Be safe, be healthy
Lady, it was a real pleasure to watch someone who knew what they were doing do their thing. Nice axe skills.
She has good hand to eye coordination.
One of the best motorcycling camping videos I've seen so far, very informational! Shows you don't need a lot to get by, thank you!
I LOVE the fact that you use simple, minimal, and not mainstream gear. You make it more about the experience and less about the gear. Keep it coming.
Love your videos. Thanks for sharing your outdoor adventures. Keep your videos reeling in!
Very knowledgeable, down to earth lady and cool gear. Love watching to wind down at night and when I'm thinking about camping and can't get out. Really enjoy the content. Thank you.
Stellar video as always Careena! That looked like a fun lil' overnighter there... and plenty of good eats too 👍 Love that little camp stool... definitely gotta try my hand at making one of those 👍
All my best to yourself and Brandon my friend!
I really miss your content I need to dive back in and catch up on your vids. Always inspire me to go solo camping because I can never get anyone to join or appreciate nature the way I do.
From 2006 thru about 2015, I used to do roadtrips (often muliistate) with friends on our Kawasaki KLR650 Dual Sport bikes. From North Florida up to western North Carolina a few times were the longest rides. For one period of over two years my bike was my only transportation. Rain or shine, hot or cold. 😎👍
My first long ride I built a larger cargo rack, added tank panniers and saddle bags, and carried far too much stuff, most of which went unused. I learned quickly what was really needed. 😀
All I can say is that Brandon is one lucky guy. You are a really amazing woman!
Love your videos Careena! That breakfast looked so yummy! Thanks for sharing your adventure!
You have all the cool tools from that knife, to the saw, and that XT250! Would like to see trail riding footage too.
Great overnighter and the food looked yummy. Thanks for sharing.
Can't even begin to tell you how much I enjoyed your video. As someone else so accurately described it...therapeutic. ❤
Hello Careena. Great to see how you camp. Nice bike.
This is the first of your videos I've watched and I really enjoyed it. Loved the excellent filming and really appreciated the bushcraft which is something I really enjoy. Thanks!
Only a few months after you posted this... I bought a brand new KLR650 and went on my first moto camping trip. Learned a lot... it sure does bring some freedom. I can carry more gear, go further, but still feel nearly as free as hiking. I'm loving it!
That is awesome!!
Awesome video! That is amazing. Your fire staring capabilities are admired. You do everything exactly right. Best!
Nice chilled out camp👍Best way to go on 2 wheels . Love the Bushcraft Spain stuff which seems to crop up in quite a few videos these days. Definitely one to check out. ATVB from a much warmer but wetter Malaysia🏕🇲🇾
バイクの仕様。キャンプ道具のセンス。ファッションの選択。生き様を感じさせる動画をありがとう❤森に響き渡る薪割りの音は神秘的でした✨
As always totally brilliant content..... Look forward to your next adventure...
At 9:58 a loud tree knock! Enjoyed your camping adventure. I love your genuine nature and passion for the outdoors. You always cook great meals. Way to stay healthy!! Your channel is very relaxing to watch. Be safe.
Thank you so much!
just getting into adventure riding and figuring out how to "efficiently" gear up for camping. you've made it look like a lot of fun. nice to see the pleasure a little effort and preparation can bring. thank you!
What I love about your videos you explain things so great.and I learned a lot of new things from your videos
Love these videos been raining most days in the uk for the last 2 months or so it seems, cant go on a trip here so this is next best thing,thankyou.
First timer here.
Mad respect here, woman miter cycle, open camping, the eggs and great idea for Bfast!
I wanted a poncho that will fit in my military bag to use as such and to have a rain jacket. This sold me on it and camping.
Amazing set up you got going.
And cheese curds thought they only come from Wisconsin. Lol
I love poutain and Tim Hortons.
Love this, the detail is so so good.
That looked like FUN! AND that breakfast- YUM!
You are so at home in the wilderness Enjoy your videos 👌🏾
Great cooking skills and well organized!!
Very good Careena video comes back quickly thank you.
The Bacon & Egg looked Fab. Great Videos, keep up the good work 🤘
Winter motorcycle camping is the best! Thanks for the show. 👍
When I light fires and the pieces of wood are long I just leave them that way and feed them into the fire as they burn down, saves chopping them down smaller. I really liked that seat cover to make the stool with!. Cool channel,cool lady!.
Sometimes I lose track of just how long your winters are. I guess just as long as our summers here in sunny SA. However I am glad to hear that you are planning more bike camping - this is how I got introduced to your channel, btw. I enjoy the content on both channels. Thanks for sharing your talent: The cinimatic video of your and Brandon's getaway is excellent!
Long time subscriber. I bought my first dirt bike this summer. You and I have similar tastes in dirt bikes. I can't wait to start riding and camping. In S. Oregon, we are blessed w miles and miles of trails . Thanks
that meal looked awesome!!! thanks for sharing the beautiful north with us!!
I love breakfast over a camp fire motocamping. Your method is brilliantly simple! Easy clean-up too.
After everything I've watched you guys do, it's a small tub of coffee that whips your butt!!! 😂🤣😂🤣 Awesome to see ya'll Moto! What do you guys not freaking do??? LMAO. A+ C!!! 👍🏻👍🏻😎😎😎
Love that fricken stool!
Thank you for going back to old school video
My fave
Yeah! Everything is cooler on a motorcycle 😎 That breakfast sandwich looked amazing to me!❤
Another fantastic video Careena! Any camping is great, but it’s even more fun on a bike. I must say that out of all the camping channels I watch on TH-cam, you have to be the best shot with an axe out of all of them. Bullseye every hit! Brilliant little chair too, takes up no room in the kit when not in use. ..
Beautiful area nice camp looks relaxing! I get minimal camping but a simple, small metal, screen to cook on is a practical option.
Great video! Always enjoy seeing what you are up to. We recently started tarp camping as well. Enjoying the change. Happy fall camping! Looking forward to the next one
Great deal first timer. Always make your most noise on the first arrival . And knowing OSHA compliances will help you to morph that quintessential to always label the contents inside a container.
I am so happy I found your videos again
I am learning allot from you thanks. It's difficult to make a 15 minute hiking video interesting but you give me allot of great ideas.
Very cool egg trick and love the portable chair. Great video.
Another great Autumnal night out Careena. The tarp seat idea is a great idea for light carrying, as you said it would have worked better with slightly longer branch legs. Is there a better camp fire breakfast than a bacon & egg muffin 😋
A very good video. I still do a single pancho shelter every now and then. I prefer using a twin pancho set-up ... leaving a gap in the middle so I can have a fire inside. If it's raining outside I suspend a small tarp about a foot from the top of the gap. Love your cooking tips.
There is a sports bar in TN that serves "traditional "poutine which I have never heard of. The owner is from Canada and he added it to the menu. All I can say is that It was delicious! Thank you for sharing another fun adventure
I've just stumbled onto your channel. I love watching these types of videos to see how other people camp and what gear they are using. I love the fact that you're using kind of "old school" gear for lack of a better term. The wooden cup/bowl, the wool blanket, etc. They all look like things that would survive a World War. Makes me want to get out more, and I live in a beautiful place for it (Colorado). Looking forward to checking out more of your content. Cheers!
I didn't know about the way you cooked the egg,thanks for showing how to.Nice to see the Fjällräven too😉
Best camp meal was a can of Mac&Chees from Cambell Soup Company and a nice Fillominyon steak fil-layed in half on a toasted burger buns. Wash it down with some tea. Seasoned they way you like. Oh yeah, some Kona Coffee is ok too. Tip, you might want to put a little bell on that food bag to let you know whats going on.
Great video, I really enjoyed this. Something about watching people do what they enjoy. You earned a new subscriber !
A little Y farm disc would be great for that chair idea.. Ie similar the the catch pan on a weber barbeque. Saves on packing poles. TY for shearing.
I love motocamping. Great video, Alexis.
Smart, beautiful. Thank you for the video. And I rested my soul and took a lot of things into account. (birch bark, cooking meat and eggs, hanging a bag with groceries separately...) Good luck and God bless you.
Awesome camping trip. Looks like you really had a good time and have the routines and cooking down pat. Looking forward to the next one...
Awesome video. Love watching them. You make fire starting look so easy. Keep up the good work and thanks for taking us along. Take care.
Glad you like them! Thanks so much for being here!
Cool that you are moto camping. I do it for a week every year for vacation and I love it. People don’t know what they are missing.
It's so fun! This is my first bike ever so I can't wait to get more comfortable with it next season and start outfitting it with saddlebags and gear racks!
Little Fry Pan you can use it for a Plate too ! 👍😁✌️
Great vid as usual, I haven't seen Grizz in a while. I hope he's ok
Grizz is not coming out due to the accident in the past, but as far as I know he's living the good life.
I really enjoy ur videos. Today I saw U cooking eggs in the shell.ive seen other people try there's didnt turn out. Urs looked ez to do. & good to eat thanku
Finally, a motorcycle. I didn't know you were skating, it was high time to take it off.
That was one of the best camp videos ever. Mostly because of the bike and no cooking stuff
You capture the wonderful quiet of a solo camping trip. Well done
Perfect bugout setup! Sweet
Thankyou Careena, this video made my day.
More moto camping videos please! I really enjoyed this one, the calmness in this is almost ASMR-ish id say. Cooking without any special equipent was also something you don't see moto campers doing usually. Also the nomadic approach and how you have packed your food is something special in this category. Id also like to compliment the filming part, its great! Im not a native english speaker so excuse my roughness... Greetings from Estonia!
Hey Careena. You're using my dream kit. And a bike. Wow. Lol. Really good choice equipment. Thank you for the video. Cheers 🍻
Keep on campin.
Love that ground tarp you use! Eventually will have to save up and get one
Super cool that you moto camp. Thanks for the video. Stay well and be safe.
If there's a healthy looking river or creek where you're at next time you fancy a bit of halumi or steak on your way out I recommend grabbing a decent sized flat stone if you can spot one, It'll add some weight to your pack but be super worth it in regards to cooking at dinner time.
Just clean that sucker off, put it on your coals to let it heat up and you're good to go!
After a shit day at work, delivering concrete, in the shit English weather, to the shit moaning shit Bristol public, your vids help me unwind Careena,keep the videos going missus .
Great video! Can't wait until my number comes up on the bucksaw waitlist!
Very nice. So minimalist in gear and cooking. Steak & eggs FTW!
Your food always looks so good!
Enjoyed this. I worry about laces when riding a motorcycle and I am not so sure there is enough protection for your ankles with hiking boots?
Flashback from 1982...bell bottoms
You have a Great Canadian Spirit.
Haven't watched your videos in a while, I like the motorcycle camping aspect. My buddy has the same bike, its a great little trail bike. We've got a group of R1200GS that a few of us use for motorcycle camping.
The breakfast looked delicious. 🤗🥑
Cool way to cook those eggs. I will experiment with that on my next bike camping trip. Enjoyed the video!
Awesome outing.. I was thinking at the end making breakfast. If you used a tortilla rather than an english muffin, you could have made a breakfast burrito. Yum! Now I'm hungry.
Thanks for the the video
Neat bike, very entertaining video and I love the way you express everything and make it so interesting and fun.😊
Awe thank you so much!!
In the 1970's when motorcycle gear was an invention, & riding gear was leather & expensive , we lit our cigarettes off the hot exhaust, & the fire too. The latter was started with gasoline which ensured you got results ! Flashlights were big , heavy & dim ,The only L E D 's were in the bottom of your electric coffee pot to indicate it was on .Luggage was the cheapest strongest backpacks tied together & thrown over the seat , sometimes tied to the passenger pegs.Clothing was the layered look ,& anything was made workable .Cooking was fire heated rocks assisted by some foil. Like your video .
I got rhis cool campers french press at C.T.C. for about $25 .Once you make your coffee you can drink straight from it. Keeps coffee hot for quite awhile and can make over two cups if you like a big gulp in the morning. Even has a handle. Cheers A. from T. in S.W. Ont.
Another awesome video. Thanks for sharing 👍
Hello from Minnesota USA! Fun episode!
