Throw an MRE somewhere in your bags. You won’t be tempted to eat it, and it’s there if you can’t use a flame. And if it has the heater, you still get a hot meal.
The mid-night pee bottle is brilliant. I literally went straight out to the garage and designated (with very obvious markings) a pee bottle of my own. I always have to pee in the middle of the night, without fail. So frustrating when it's cold AF, and never convenient. I'm stoked on that newfound info 😅
@10:35 is exactly my kind of gear. I hate leaving the tent at night, so a pee cup is the way to go! I use a small Nalgene (wide mouth of course)... I carry a whistle instead of a SPOT or other sat unit. Columbia makes a pair of camping clogs that have a nice, thick sole (for trekking into the wilderness to take of #2 business). My tablet is a rugged one (DMD T-865) that doubles as my navigation device. I load it with movies and podcasts. I always have ear-plugs to help me ignore "What was that?" noises at night.
Just found your channel. Hope the Thermacell works out. I’ve nearly bought one several times, but just haven’t seen enough campers recommend it to convince myself it works. I live in Eureka Springs Arkansas, where the mosquitoes may steal your bike in the summer.
Great video. Thanks for some really good advice/recommendations. Hoping to get out once or twice this month here in Oregon. I am on a small 250 dual sport so need to pack light but I know it can be done. Cheers!
@@milestogomoto I also can’t sleep on my back, but for some reason I had the best sleep of my life in my Eno hammock. Not sure if you would have the same experience, but might wanna try. It’s as though you’re back in the womb lol. Like your vid 👍
Cool video. How come you carry wood around when you have the gas option? Do you just cary small branches for the firebox or full on firewood for the pit?
So for the firebox you just need little tiny bits of wood so that's easy. I've also been using grill pellets for the firebox and that works really well.. Sometimes I will carry firewood for campfire because you can't really harvest any wood at lots of the campgrounds in California and I dodn't like riding back out to a store or something. However, that's what I do now if it's not too far. If I can't get any close by I just go without a fire.. Which is a bummer but oh well..
I haven't due to having to carry too much stuff.. However, I'm trying out my new Zen bivy light bed tomorrow on a trip.. So far it seems amazing.. I'll do some video about it i'm sure
Haha! I got that thing like 12 years ago for some weird reason.. It has actually held up pretty decently.. But. it's time for an upgrade.. Thanks for weatching!
No mention of being armed, especially when solo. I'm out alone quite frequently and would rather carry a weapon than something to entertain or distract me. Helps me get a better night's sleep.
I really like your ideas on organizing and it has given me some new ideas, thank you. It'd be great if you could include the names of products to make it ezr for some of us
Thanks so much. Yah I need to put a list of everything in the comments. I’ve switched out some stuff and am probably due for a new updated video. Thank you!
camping in the East .. no need for a spot, camping in the west.. you really NEED one.. people on the east coast can't comprehend how remote it can get in the west
Hey, just found ya and enjoyed this video! You won't regret switching to a good quality quilt as I'm a side and stomach sleeper and have done years of backpacking before switching to bikepacking. Just bookmarked one of those cots on Amazon as I'm doing some long trips too. Fixing to spend about a month on the road thru Colorado, Arizona, Nevada and Utah.
Awesome video. Good info. Check out whatever sleeping set up 'Dork In The Road' uses. He is a side sleeper and pretty good sized guy. His set up is top notch
I've watched waaay too many of these, but this one has to has to be the best one yet👌 good stuff. Thanks for sharing! (Oohh I can relate to that black tape bottle 😂)
As a side sleeper. I SWEAR by the Big Agnus Deluxe Core mattress. I'm a thicker gal, ( ex athlete ) with some extra insulation currently ) so about 180 lbs, lil bulldog..and this mattress is AMAZING. I got the wider one, can't handle those skinny ones. Amd even on top of the camp,cot.. wow... mine came with a air bag to blow it up.. so no moisture from mouth...and it's got stuffing in it plus the air..just a thought for you, and I use on ground and or on a cot, both ways amazeballs...
That sounds great ! I’m using the zen bivy bed now and I might upgrade to a bigger mattress for that set up. I live the quilt! It’s so comfy. Thanks so much !!
Sure, and those older joint pains at my age, is a killer, so maybe call moto camp need, he might hook you up to review it and get one for free.. well worth it... and I'm dying to use a quilt style too.. keep up the great work.. love it

Get a Nalgene plastic water bag - they are about 2 litres and have a wide mouth. 👍🏻😁
midnight pee bottle, and travel bidet squeeze bottle. :)

Thank you! Yah you might need a unit that is the size of a 5 gallon bucket to stop those guys..Stay safe
Hey Danny, awesome video. Really glad I found your channel as I'm close to start my first moto camp trip :)
Have fun and be safe!!
Great video. Thanks for some really good advice/recommendations. Hoping to get out once or twice this month here in Oregon. I am on a small 250 dual sport so need to pack light but I know it can be done. Cheers!
Thank you!! I'm picking up a drz 400 or something along those lines to explore all the desert roads out here in JT..Thanks for watching
I've only just started watching the first video I found of yours but you've got a sub just for the Eddy Merckx poster ;) Loving the video so far too.
Haha!! Thanks man!! Appreciate it...
I discovered hammock camping and love it. You might want to try. Also packs smaller and lighter.
I was looking at this tent that can be on the ground or up in the air. My concern is I can't sleep on my back. Thanks for watching my friend..
@@milestogomoto I also can’t sleep on my back, but for some reason I had the best sleep of my life in my Eno hammock. Not sure if you would have the same experience, but might wanna try. It’s as though you’re back in the womb lol. Like your vid 👍
@@HyperSpaz Ill have to give it a go...
Great and informative video. Your channel is off to a great start. I’m looking forward to watching more of your content 😁
Thank you ..Much appreciated!

Noticed your finger tattoos - from 1 Thessalonians? Love that verse.
You should try Highside coffee bags! Good coffee and helps with storage. Great video!
Awesome! Ill check em out. Always up for good new coffee
Nice kit!
Thanks !!!
Have you tried a sleeping pad on the cot? Best camping sleep I’ve ever had!
I haven't due to having to carry too much stuff.. However, I'm trying out my new Zen bivy light bed tomorrow on a trip.. So far it seems amazing.. I'll do some video about it i'm sure
7-11 1 litre gatorade bottle for two bucks and can be discarded each trip ...
used pee bottle is a serious UTI waiting to happen.
Just a thought.
Good tip. I wash it out really good all the time.
Ha ha ha... Another top video production
Great video!
Thank you!
Nice video. Good luck on your channel
Thank you sir!!
Gator Ade bottle is my pee bottle. Maybe a second one if I know I'm going to drink a few before going to sleep! Great video.
Haha... I probably could use a gatorade bottle.. I'm getting sol old..... Thanks for the nice comments!!
@@milestogomoto I keep my hydration pack in the tent with me, so there is no fear of grabbing the pee bottle instead of a water bottle lol.
Just curious, will you be putting the links to the items mentioned in the video in the description?
Yes.. I will get that done..Thank you
Nice video (although, you almost lost me at the Bear Grylls knife…lol)!
Haha! I got that thing like 12 years ago for some weird reason.. It has actually held up pretty decently.. But. it's time for an upgrade.. Thanks for weatching!
nice vid, but I have to say my 3 person tent (I like some space inside) is smaller than your 2 person tent!
Thank you.. I have to get a new tent. Mine shifted in transit and got up against the tailpipe.. Melted it !
No mention of being armed, especially when solo.

WHAT! No first aid kit??
Suma 2 is a perfect tent . Dry freeze food .

@@milestogomoto I'd click links if you set it up so you get that tiny referral bonus. Thanks again for the good ideas.

So true... Thanks for watching!!!
Great video, but I have a hard time taking advice from a drummer. lol JK
I don't blame you...haha
You will not need any electrolytes of you eat those freeze dried meals. They have hella sodium and honestly are very unhealthy. Stick to pb&j
If you need that amount of stuff, buy a camper.
I'm sure ill get a camper someday as well..haha
