  • It's almost spring and you know what that means: a full new season of motorcycle camping awaits us! Like many of you, I'm continually revising and refining my motorcycle camping gear list, and I wanted to make a quick video to show you all what moto camping gear I'm going to be using in 2022. My 2022 moto camping gear list includes some new favorites like an upgraded tent, sleeping pad, axe, and blanket. I'm also still using some of my favorite motocamping gear from last year like my compact camp chair and table.
    The setup in this video is the exact gear I used on a recent winter camping trip, so if you're looking for real-world field-tested recommendations for a moto camping tent, motorcycle camping sleeping bag, or any other motorcycle camping setup ideas, look no further!
    Also in this video: a full rundown of how I pack all my gear on my 2022 Kawasaki KLR 650 Adventure using the Giant Loop Siskiyou Panniers (www.giantloopm...) and Giant Loop Tillamook Dry Bag (www.giantloopm....

    Always love your videos. Just for giggles, i added up all the items you have listed in the information section above. It came to $2266.00. I rounded up or down just a few cents and this is without taxes. You are a great encourager to folks who might otherwise just sit around wanting to go motocamping but never do. However when someone says, "Dorkintheroad has encouraged me to go by some gear like he uses." Then they start pricing stuff, its like, WOW thats expensive. I realize a lot of the times a person gets what they pay for but sometimes not so much. I'm aware that some, if not most of the stuff you use is sponsored which helps alot. It is nice to see what a $530.00 tent and a $400.00 sleeping bag is like. Most of us will probably never get to use one. Also i think its totally awesome that you get to live a dream and get paid for it. After all that is the ultimate goal for us lovers of the outdoors.

    1:25 As an electrical engineer I can tell you, don't bother with the solar panels on battery banks. A general consensus is about 1kw input solar power per square meter (and that is in the strongest possible direct sunlight), and even the best are about 40% efficient. The surface area of that battery bank is about 0.00075m^2 (5x15cm). That would mean that it takes in about 0.75W of solar energy, and even being ridiculously efficient only produce 225mW of electrical power.
    To put that into perspective: Even in the strongest possible sunlight it would take a whopping 9 hours to charge just 5% of an average (8000mAh) battery bank. And again, this is in ideal conditions! Strongest sun straight above the equator, no shadow and the panel being kept cool, whilst being exceptionally efficient. More reasonable figures for charging are probably 10-20x less than this estimate.
    Also, for many cheaper banks they are just there for decoration and not actually connected to anything. The consumer wont notice as solar panels are (as I have shown above) really not high power output, plus the MPPT electronics are expensive.
    My point being, even if the solar charging part worked, it barely does anything anyways, and not worth the extra weight and hassle.
    If you want to have the capability of solar charging whilst on the road, get one of those foldable panels. But even for those, temper your expectations, you can expect maybe 100W of charging power from them in the best of conditions, so probably 10-20W in average conditions (which at least is enough to charge your phone at a slow pace).

      I'm an electrical engineer too. What tHaH4x0r said. 🙂
      The best way to charge your power brick is by using the alternator on your bike while you're riding. I charge my cell phone and 9.7" tablet (that I use as a deluxe GPS navigator with the OSMand app) from a handlebar mounted dual USB port while I'm riding, but I also have an SAE port that I use for a winter battery maintainer that I can also use for a heated vest, or to charge a big battery while riding in the unlikely event I want to do a multi-day ham radio motorcycle trip. For small devices like an LED headlamp or GoPro camera, I use the USB ports to charge while I'm riding.

      What they say above, plus just remember to check the consumption of the things you connect to the bike so as to not overload the electrical system. I see many car drivers looking for moto travel advice and a bike electrical isn't nearly as strong as a car's.
      You can search for the manufacturer info or test the output with a multimeter. Then subtract all the bike's normal consumption (lights, battery charge, etc) to have an idea of the margin you have to connect extra charge.
      A simpler way is just don't connect anything too heavy (usb chargers and similar small devices are ok, I'd say most bikes should support up to 60w without problem), and/or reduce the normal consumption by installing LED lights, thus gaining extra juice.
      The electrical engineers here may have a better idea on how to deal with this, just don't treat your bike like a mobile power plant.

    I've car/trailer camped for years, but I'm gearing up to try taking my first moto camping trip this season and just wanted to say I really appreciate your camping style. I know I'll be downsizing from my previous camping setups, but asking around reddit for any kind of advice, I've only been told to forgo anything besides a hammock and granola bars. But your selection of luxuries just really vibes with me. I'm not looking to throw myself into a survival situation. I still want to feel good when I'm out. So I appreciate the advice for this level of comfort and not being an absolute-minimum elitist.

    Love motorcycle camping. One of my favorite things. I like to go alone and make friends to spend evenings with when I get to the camp site. Comment on luxuries to bring along ... I always cook. I pitch camp an hour before sundown (wherever I happen to be) and I always have time to ride into town and get my dinner, which is usually a petite filet with a baked potato and maybe some roasted asparagus. The act of cooking is very relaxing and sometimes I just lay my machete across the fire and cook on the surface of the machete like a grill. BUT ... if you are having a filet and baked potato, you have to have butter and salt/pepper and maybe some garlic powder. So my must have luxury is butter and spices (and some starter fluid for the fire).

    Just ordered a bunch of stuff to replace much of my well worn backpacking/bicycle camping gear. Too old for most of that now. It's Moto Camping time! Can't wait to test out my new gear. Big Agnes Insulated Aircore, Mica Basin Armchair, Sidewinder SL 35 (yes expensive but replacing a VERY much used 30+ yr Western Mountaineering down bag that actually went around the world in '94 and served as a fantastic ass cushion on buses, particularly on vicious Himalayan potholes), and an AXL pillow. Going to use my old tent but it's in fine shape. MEC. Canadian brand. I take a camping espresso maker with me which weighs a bit but I don't. 160 lbs. A few pounds here or there, who cares. I am 52. I like some small comforts. I do not care for those canisters after many years camping on the Canadian west coast beaches. I much prefer the alcohol/spirit stoves such as Primus. Simple. Compact. I find them incredibly efficient. Also upgraded my lighting to LED powered by USB. I have an Optimate USB charger connected to my CRF300L battery so I can power up a lot of stuff. Waiting on my Kriega bags to arrive and then I will fill fill them with my stuff and explore around the Fraser Valley for free camping. Thanks Dork. Another good one. Ride On. Safe.

    Looks like my first motorcycle-camping trip, will be at a hotel in the White Mountains, or North Conway New Hampshire this Spring.

    Hello I’m new to your channel but love all the motocamping videos so far! I’ve recently purchased a KLX 230S and thought about motor camping on it but just watching you on your KLR 650 is making me want to buy one as well.. maybe I missed it in your videos but what brand of bags are you running on your bike? I truly have tons of questions for you and didn’t know if we were able to email? Thanks for any help and keep up the great work!

    I like the bear spray. Where’s your gun? Also, thanks for the good video. I have a backpacking background so motocamping is so glamorous to me, but it’s like they say, if you have a big bag you’ll fill it, it’s still hard to decide what to bring or not to bring.
    Ride on!

    Lightweight gear is one thing. However, an over-weight rider sort of compromises all that thought, effort and expense.

    Nice. I don’t know why everyone thinks it’s cool to be super minimalist when camping. You’ve done a good job packing the essentials and a few odds and ends. I always seem to pack as much as the bike can handle, and I’m not embarrassed by it! I bet Lewis and Clark WAY overpacked. 😉
    Nicely done, dork.

    Great video, very helpful! It's expensive to go moto camping. You must have over a $1k on that table. Obviously for those bags on the KLR, you can pack lots of stuff if you wanted to. I've been looking at the Giant Loop bags and can't decide what combination of things would be good. I like the mojave bags for day trips when I may not spend the night, but also looked at the coyote bag as well; but I can't buy everything! For those of us with dual sports without 'pannier' type room like the KLR, what would bag setup would you run on say your DRZ to carry the things you need?

    • @Liberty4Ever
      @Liberty4Ever 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      As has been stated on this channel before, motorcycle camping doesn't need to be expensive. I have some ultralight camping equipment from hiking, rock climbing, mountain biking and kayaking, but it's possible to start from nothing and go motorcycle camping for under $100, particularly if you're creative (Craig's List, eBay, etc.) If you find yourself moto camping often, upgrade items as you can afford it. If you can spend the money up front you can buy good stuff that'll last a long time but there is also the danger of not knowing what you need for how you like to camp and buying expensive stuff you don't like.

    • @DorkintheRoad
      @DorkintheRoad  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I'm a huge fan of this setup for camping off a bike like the DRZ: th-cam.com/video/8o5XGyjTrEM/w-d-xo.html
      You obviously don't need to buy all those bags at once or at all, but the Coyote + Rogue gives you a ton of space and versatility and doesn't require you to add racks or anything to your bike.
      With this setup you can also just run the Rogue bag strapped to the back for a day trip if you wanted to.

    Hey Ben - if you had the choice of hard luggage (larger than the one you have on the KLR now), or your soft luggage setup, which would you prefer? Would it be soft bags, with many flapping straps and stuff, or would it be angular, somewhat unwieldly metal boxes?

    • @DorkintheRoad
      @DorkintheRoad  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Soft Luggage all the way. It's way safer and less likely to be damaged riding off road.
