Thanks for all the love! If you've not seen my moto camping adventures in Brazil on my custom XF/DR650 Scarmbler, you check them out here: th-cam.com/play/PLdWqPlzenkh1o8tkQZSKlS6zRJ_bQmkEL.html
Loving it 😊 went out for a days ride today to clock up some break-in milage. Absolutely tipped down with rain haha but the sun came out eventually. It's a different best to the DR so it will take time to adjust.
Hi John, Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! It's funny that most of my adventures/camping is in the low rainforest of Brazil, but I have yet to see a live snake. First time moto camping in California, not too far out of the city, and I see plenty of creepy crawlies!
This was an entrancing video...the light music, the nature sounds, all the different camera shots you used to show exactly what you were doing to make yourself at home. This was some serious "vicarious living" vibes...really enjoyed it. Looks lilke you put a lot of effort into it and it fully paid off, my man. Very awesome!
Look forward to hearing about your DR replacement some day. You had a snake, where I am we have bears. While the wilds are their home, it still doesn't make such an encounter any less harrowing. Gulp.
Still lots of buzz about T7 in Brazil this year, but seeming unlikely at this point. Will at least test ride the new Himalayan, but probably not my bag. Snake was enough to get some adrenaline going given the proximity (6ft), night time, and his size. But, yes could always be worse/something bigger and badder.
Thanks mate! appreciate the love! The Husky was just a rental while I was in California. Back in Brazil now. Still deciding what the next bike will be.
Beautiful piece of video/audio. Thank you for the effort! Pretty sure that was a Red Diamond rattlesnake. They are the most "chill" of the Rsnakes and super plentiful south of the 10 freeway. Still plenty venomous, but not like the Mojave Greens or Pacifics that are both jerks. Your experience is exactly why I don't sleep without a a tent anymore. I used to just chill under the stars, but I had a California King (non-venomous) go up my shorts once while laying on the ground! (I'm on a Husky 701 Enduro. Maybe I'll see you out there 🤙🏻)
Draco, thanks for watching and the detailed comment! though I am from SoCal, I live in Brazil, which is where most of my camping trips/content is made. I was home visiting friends and family when I taped this video. Strangely enough, despite camping mostly in the low rainforest of Brazil, I have yet to come across any predators in 13 years. Perhaps just luck, but I feel like it’s due to availability of easy prey vs the lack thereof in the desert/SoCal. Either way, still won’t be camping without a tent anytime soon! Would love to be on a husky 701, unfortunately they cost upwards of USD$30k here.
Great adventure! I live in Southern Arizona so not too far away from there. I am going to order that camp table and Gerber utensils today. Let me know if you are ever in the Tucson area!
demais mesmo voce estava certo adorei ver voce aqui do lado da minha casa ..sei aonde acampou e tudo mas vou manter o segredo hahahah alucinante o video e a aventura

Very well done mate, enjoyed that though I didn't care much for the spider or the snake haha. ATB Jason 👍
Thanks mate! I could have done with friendlier visitors as well, but that's how it goes! How's the new bike so far?

Thanks for the love and in depth explanation! Feels great when someone notices/understands the amount of work that gets put into your videos!

the snake liked the new gear
If it was me camping, I would've been awake the whole night. That was an interesting camping adventure you got there. Well done! Cheers
Thanks bro! haha. I knew he wouldn't be able to get into the tent if he came back so slept ok.
Loved it! Solo moto camping is defintely something on the list of things I want to do. Loved the video, all the b-roll and drone shots as well! 😁
Marauder, thanks for the love! Solo camping is a relaxing and rejuvenating experience. I highly recommend it.
Awesome mate. I really enjoyed it.
Will you be getting some new shoes for the 701? A set of pirelli Scorpion STR could do nicely :).
