🏍 WHO IS TIM COLLINS OF FTA ADVENTURES? (FORMERLY FORTY TIMES AROUND)
A lifelong adventure enthusiast and a long time motorcycle traveler, I have spent the last few years honing my craft as a motorcycle adventure specialist.
Motorcycle travel and camping have become my largest passions in life. I have a meticulous nature that helps me analyze gear, technique and tactics in a way that is highly beneficial to anyone looking to embark on a motorcycle venture of any scope.

Retired medic here. First aid training is way more important than a FA kit. You can MacGyver almost everything you'd get in a FA kit from other gear you're already carrying, like duct tape and a t-shirt. The key is to pack for access to it.
A personal tip: I carry Tylenol 3 in my jacket pocket and a camelbak. If I fell off the bike, I can sit still for 30 minutes until the pain pills kick in, then get myself sorted out.
5:33 adding a backpacker’s tarp (I use a 12’ x 16’) adds a whole new dimension of comfort to inclement weather riding as you make/break camp and pack/unpack your bike in the dry
I'd like to add that if ground is cold some sort of sleep pad is more than usefully. Nice video .❤
🇬🇧🏍️💨🏞️🌳⛰️🌅 Can't wait to load up and head off on the bike again this year. Hope you have a healthy happy year this year Tim. 🙏
Thank you same to you!
As always, thanks for the great information Tim!
Glad to see you back Tim!!! Your tips have always been helpful for road-trips either in the US or Europe. Take care and see you in your next video!
Hello Tim, it's always nice that you share your experiences! Greetings from Michael from Germany!
Thanks for watching!
A classic Tim’s Top Ten list. The Letterman of Adventure Moto!
Thanks!
Excellent list to get people up to speed on Moto camping gear Tim.
Light is right when it comes to the gear. I've packed way too much gear at times. There is a learning curve involved compared to 4-wheel camping or hiking. .
Thanks Tim. Good reminders for sure!
You bet!
*this is exactly what I was looking for*
Thanks for sharing some camping tip essentials...will come in handy for my first MC camping trip.
Glad it was helpful! Have fun!
Nice to come across one of your vids again pal. Hope you're keeping well. Glad you guys in the northern hemisphere are going into your warmer seasons. Hope you have some nice trips planned for the months ahead. Enjoy!
Thanks! I’m glad the weather is finally turning good for riding here too
Fantastic info as always :)
Another great video. Stay safe Tim. Chin up wheels down.
You gotta have fire, water, and shelter when camping.
You got that right!
Nice video buddy, good to see you more active again
Thanks, it's good to be back!
Thanks, love your videos.
You might be able to get away without one but a sleeping pad mainly serves 2 functions.
1: comfort obviously.
2: insulation.
If the ground is cold, youll be cold if you sleep directly on it, your sleeping bag wont keep you warm and the ground will suck the heat out of you.
Pick the right pad, and bag for the conditions and range of temperature you will be camping in, if you arent sure pick something a little warmer than you think youll need.
You can always unzip the bag and air out to cool off a little. It is usually easier to deal with excess heat than it is to hold on to it.
You can also layer up in your bag and that helps, but even so Id rather bring the bulkier gear that is warmer rather than relying on layering with the sleep system.
Your shelter and sleep system needs to be researched thoroughly and fit not just you but also where you are going and when, it all has to fit the conditions or temperature range and some might do fine without say a pad if the night temperature is higher and the ground is still warm throughout the night. but a pad is not only for comfort, it is also insulation and to help keep you warm.
you might sleep in a hammock and thus not laying on the ground, but you might still want a pad in there if it gets just a little chilly as the air constantly runs by under you and suck out your heat.
Sleeping bags insulate you yes, but when you are laying on it its compresses flat under you and heat transfer through it, it is mainly the pockets of air and the material or structures ability to hinder air circulation (Convection) through it that actually keeps you warm as air doesnt transfer heat all that well in of itself, but air that runs or circulates will actually cool you down a fair bit.
Dont skimp on pads unless you are absolutely sure you wont need one.
Researching your shelter and sleep system to meet your needs and the conditions you'll face is important.
keep warm, stay safe, explore and have fun. :)
Makes my day to see a fresh FTA video posted! Great reminder to bring an extra clothing layer for varying temps, and thanks for the suggestion of a decent sized folding knife for splitting wood. The Surviveware first aid kits really are thoughtfully arranged. I picked one up on your recommendation a while back. All the best, Tim!
Glad to hear that!!
Great information, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the tips that will be good info when i do my first bike camping instead of of car lol
Great vid, dude. Thanx.
Great my friend 👍. I got assemble my camping including a handsaw plus a knife. Can't wait to go on my first adventure camping trip, then I'll let you guys later. Take care Tim and enjoy.
Thank you my friend, ride safe!
Great tips and list
Just to add a few things I think are essential: Can opener, lighter, fire starter cubes, cutlery, Food and food supplies, pot or pan to cook in, sleeping mattress or folding cot (yes they make those to pack down super small now) ,
Great vid thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Good save, Tim - sleeping pad. A necessity, in my opinion. Cheers!
Agreed!
Lots of very good information Tim. Enjoyed the video and RIDE SAFE OUT THERE! Have you ever ridden the Mt Lemmon hwy in Az.?
Thank you Henry! Yes, I rode up there a few years ago, it's a fun ride!
Nice video, Greetings from South Africa.🌍 also big fan of the sleeping pad, so compatible with wild camping, i just use a thick tarp under my pad always to prevent any small things from making holes haha
Glad to hear it! Safe travels
Nice to see another essential list of yours which has got me into motorcycle travel in the past. Thanks Tim, good to see my essentials are also your essentials, which makes them essential in my opinion :)
Glad you enjoyed it
Add thread lock to your toolkit! Nice list - thank you.
Very helpful, thank-you.
You're welcome!
Thanks for sharing mate, send us some Sun, typically raining in the UK ...LOL
Thanks for watching!
Good stuff Tim 👍. Thinking about a 4-6 week trip around the USA on my 2015 Super Tenere 1200es and camping 2/3 of the nights. Bob in Tucson
Always enjoy your video's, I have had terrible luck with those sleeping pads. Always seem to end up buying another along the way after waking up on the ground. LOL
Yay a new video! Hi 👋🏼😃
I really like the looks of that sleeping bag. I have a conventional mummy style that I've owned for years, but besides being too warm for summer camping, the mummy style doesn't lend itself to a good night's sleep for me. I have a cheapie tent that I would like to replace with a Durston X-Mid 2P.
That's a great idea!
Fantastic list, TC!
I have most of the items except the big ones (tent, bag, sleeping pad)
I don't have any camping experience so I need to get some practice runs in before a big solo trip up north.
You vids, comments and insights are essential to my preparation.
Much gratitude!
Glad to hear that! Ride safe my friend
Went to Ben at Motocamp Nerd and got the Coppetspur bikepacking tent after your recco. Thanks Tim!
Hope you enjoy it!
@@FTAAdventures its excellent! Very happy
Not sure how long you've been making video's again but great to see! The last one I watched a while ago you were taking a break talking about mental health so I assume if you're making content again you're happy and enjoying life. Bought the book and read it twice. Very Boy Scout Handbook level of moto camping knowledge. Hope life is well.
Thank you my friend, yes I am feeling much better these days!
I enjoy your videos
Thank you!
For the gear shifter coming loose , I run a longer better grade bolt all the way through the lever then from the bottom spin on a lock nut . Then Bob's yur Uncle.
good stuf!
I returned from a bike camping trip, as a shake down session of my gear, a few days ago. After the first night's sleep I bought some 'heated' socks - thick with an almost furry interior - for a few bucks. They were a godsend and made the chilly spring evenings here in the southern hemisphere comfortable. I'm on the lookout for a new, larger tent and I'll make some modifications to my tank bag so it's instant on and off. Other than that, I'm really glad I opted to organise my clothes into large kitchen bags that doubled as vacuum bags. They kept my clothes clean and dry, though next trip I'll label each bag so that it's easier to find stuff and to know what temporarily empty ones were for. A big hassle was remembering where stuff was packed when I needed it. Better organisation and less stuff might help. My big bag is a horseshoe bag with a main compartment and a drop down 'pouch' each side. The tent and sleeping bag were in a dry bag and I'll change that out for a bigger one next trip. I managed to pack quite a bit on my Ducati Scrambler Icon and I'm totally impressed with how well it handled the extra load - It didn't seem to make any difference to the handling, breaking or acceleration. Thanks for your tips and advice. I'll definitely come back to review this video before my next adventure.
Those heated socks sound awesome, I'll have to check those out. That's a great idea keeping your gear in kitchen bags, I usually use packing cubes but they aren't water proof unfortunately.
@@FTAAdventures The brand is "Heat Holders" and they seem to be in every typical cheap shop over here in Australia. I also saw them on our Ebay. The storage bags came from a supermarket and are double zip/double seal. I'm using them at home now too. Safe rides brother.
That list is close to mine. But I dont bring a water purifier because I’m in Australia so we drink the creek water, and I don’t bring a first aid kit. So in those two places I bring a bottle or rum and a pistol to shoot the empty rum bottle.
I would add some rope. Nothing big and heavy, but 15 to 20 feet of paracord doesn't take up much space, is super strong and so handy around camp.
Great tip! Thanks
Muy bien
11th essential: Fuel in your tank! ;-)
I suggest you look into the Haven Hammock Tent. Takes you from being a ground slog into a tree dweller. Can be set up on the ground if no trees are around. Also suggest checking out the Sawyer filtration system.
I'll check it out!
Its funny I was just looking at them on their website. I would get the Safari its more heavy duty and it has 4 zippers on the netting. Looks like they are pre order right now.
He showed a Sawyer in the video? Are you talking about something else?
Awesome review and content. What type pannier/luggage system do you currently use to carry all your gear? I am new to adventure bike and moto-camping
I use the Mosko moto bags and I love them
One large thing i always bring with me and never use is my chair! Most places I camped had picnic tables. I’ve only used the chair may twice! Still I feel weird without bringing it!
With that said I get redundant, 3 types of flashlights, 2 20,000mah power bank. And a jumpstart box, portable tire compressor. Hammock, bug net and tarp… even tho I never used them because I feel more comfortable in my tent and it’s better for Max (whose always with me) still haven’t tried to overnight in a hammock with a dog on the ground. Also a quality sleeping bag but I rarely use it and instead I use a thin “woobie” it’s compact and great for hot humid nights. So really I bring a lot of stuff that really should stay at home. Idk why I don’t feel right without everything.
Nice video. Will blue threadlocker help with the gear shifter bolt?
Or the new Permatex hybrid orange that is hand tool removeable like the blue and holds like red almost and works in mild oil also.
Yes the blue should work
Sleeping pad is a necessity
🇬🇧 Just bought your book new off Amazon . 👍
I appreciate it, hope you enjoy it!
@@FTAAdventures look forward to reading it through Tim. Thankyou for so many great vids, advice, information, sharing your adventures along the way and for all the honesty and entertainment too. Love and respect from an old fan from England. UK. 🇬🇧👍
Good video! Thanks! Do you ever camp in bear country?
Yes I have, as long as your careful with your food you should be fine. There is a video on my channel about camping in bear country.
@@FTAAdventures , thanks, I will check it out
Ok 👍👌
Another good one
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice gear list - and an extra thumbs up for Moto Camp Nerd 👍👍
Hey, Tim. I hope you're feeling better. I've watched some videos, and you look like you lost a lot of weight. Take care, brother !!
My Harley is 700 pounds and every time I get off road, that weight on the kick stand just sinks into ground, especially if ground is wet. Bought a plastic bowl to put under kick stand to spread weight to larger surface area.
3" washer in the left side pocket of my tank bag
As i se it the cooking gear 1 for the coffe mug and 1 for the food making is waiste of place in my oppinion i use only Trangia a all cooking system i also have with me a mini powerbank for it take the place for the extra cooking gear you have a power bank who can be chareged with solar panels small one who can fit on the bike, also a little chainsaw is handy, i dont need all kinda gear for the trip so it is space enoug here!
My bike is a triumph 900 Rally Pro.
The important is have with you repair kit for the tires also a first aid kit and blankets it is very cold now and then also some tools for small repairs and strips! My tent is a Lone Rider ADV tent it is perfect a bit expensive but worth every dime!
Great tips! Thanks
Nice list. If only I could just pack the essentials. I bring too much stuff.
You and me both!
I would say that a sleeping mat is much more useful than a chair. You don't want to sleep on the ground when it's cold or wet. I'm 66, have camped all my life and never needed a chair.
Thanks Tim, my challenge is not taking too much.........
Me too Glenn!
Nice video Tim! Regarding the tool kit, I have a Tiger 900 and purchased the Triumph tool kit made by Cruz Tools, and not only is it a very high quality kit, but It has a tool for every nut & bolt I might ever remove on the Tiger! They really do their homework on these. Before ordering, I checked what tools I might need by test fitting each fastener on the bike with my garage set, and sure enough, they were all in that kit. Highly recommended!
That is really good to know! Thanks, I'll have to check that out.
Hey tim was that knife Spyderco
I don't think it was, that was b roll from the internet it wasn't my knife
I like camping, but not in the middle of nowhere (aka wild camping) … so no need of water filter, cooking stuff etc 😅
If u want to go camping for a week, desent sleep is very important. So sleeping bag, matress and tent is vital. If you wake up every 2 hours because of wrong gear, u will not last for a week...
Do you carry gas for your motocyle?
Not anymore, I never ended up using it. Maybe if I was going to northern Alaska
Number 11..... TP
If I bring a tire patch kit, I would also bring something to re-inflate the tire. 🤔
Indeed. Sage advice from Tim yet again.
Tim, I’ve been a subscriber for a few years now. I notice you shake quite a bit in some of your videos. End of the day, lack of energy? Side effect of higher anxieties, or perhaps too much coffee? I think edibles or weed should be included in your essentials, and I say that with love
Have you tried the instant tents? Pros cons? Which do you prefer
I haven't tried those yet. I'll check that out
they are more heavy and they took more space to carry, if u want to carry them in a car they are ok.
I keep a folded up $20 bill in my tool pouch in case I need some cash. Was a $10 for years, but inflation.
11 speaker 🔊
I all ways take a 50cal with me
You’re shaking !
Are you ok ?
Don't forget to bring #11 which most people seem to leave behind these days!
#11 = Common Sense
I wanted to get my buddy saying put on T-shirts for years. It's until more people start using it I'm going to call it rare sense LOL
Why are your hans shaking so mujch?
haven't watch yet but let me guess. motorcycle, you( person camping) ,gas for the bike, place to camp, bottle of drunkiness, blanket, thats all ive got.5 " essential "things.
What about a gun or some sort of weapon to protect yourself from danger? You never know what you will encounter when you’re out in the woods by yourself
No one needs a gun.
Tell me you’re American without telling me you’re American
@@basilbruce8674lol. every day item just like ur keys and wallet down here in tn for most people
What is so damn dangerous over there that you need a gun?
Eu sou brasileiro e pratico motocamping em uma Yamaha Ténéré. Aqui nunca precisei de arma, em um país perigoso.
Cigarettes 😅
A hat ..or a cap ..?
You forgot the motorcycle
Motorcycle..did Tim trade up to a Yamaha Super Tenere.
Forgot food too!
