“It’s a lot easier to pitch your tent when you have a buddy lending you a helping hand” - hahaha. I don’t know how Yammy said that without laughing. 🤣

Maybe he and spite are closer than you think lol
its not even that funny or clever
Seriously, if *anyone* is in doubt of doing a motocamping trip, just do it! It is a great way to get to know your motorcycle’s limits (and your own!) in a lot of ways. And you will find out that those limits lie a lot further than you initially thought.
Packing is always a challenge, but you really need a lot less than you think. Be picky with what you take and re-evaluate your choices a few times before you go. Just make sure you don’t set your goals too high and that you’re having fun! Good luck!
that's sound like a tutorial on how to kill my Suzuki Bandit 600s....and that's exactly what im going to do ;D
@@vandalSocial Haha, make sure you enjoy it! 😉
Sounds boring and mundane.
And before you know it youll be towing a camping trailer behind your bike and cornering will be a distant memory
I love that you made "off road" content without making off road content. As a future ADV bro this is exactly what I needed. I will definitely be going moto camping once I get an ADV bike
I don't think I got it. I think I need a Yam & Spite camping trip to re-enforce the concepts.
Motel 6 beats the Camping by a Mile! You can even get High with the Smell of the Hallways :)
A tip I have is a lot of times ( but definitely not all the time) campgrounds are actually fairly close to civilized society. This means you can just run into town for a hot meal saving you some space by not having to bring food or a way to cook it. It's not exactly in the spirit of roughing it, but every ounce counts.
My best advice, buy lightweight and compact backpacking gear. You will thank yourself for the extra space you get from buying gear that packs up small. That lightweight 5 pound backpack tent that packs up to 16x6 inches will be much better than that 12 pound Walmart special monstrosity made with cheap materials that packs up 30x10.
Yes, I am that idiot who did camping trips on a sport bike which is why that smaller gear is a must if you do something dumb like I did. However even with plenty of room the smaller gear gives you more space for the important stuff. My Givi 15 liter tank bag and that big ass Nelson Rigg CL3000 tail bag worked flawlessly and held enough for me to survive 6 days away from civilization including food and water. Pro tip, buy a water filter and save some weight and space so you can not have to worry about dragging gallons of water around with you.
putting up the tent I find its easier doing it by my self, having a buddy help just makes it harder, when packing for the trip pack light and keep it basic, you will soon find out what you need and what you didn't, if you do have a buddy with you share the load , you will not need 2 of everything ( apart from a tooth brush ,,,, depends how much you like your buddy) , get on the bike and enjoy the experience and make memories
Sleeping on cheap motorcycle storage. Never forget the good old milk crate strapped to the back seat. Works great, has loads of places to tie other things and there's a high likelihood you've got one floating around in your garage already.

Don't forget universal solution to many problems - duct tape 😁
At download festival, duct tape was essent for my tent 😂
Lmfao…. I’ve seen the festival ninja… literally an entire campsite strapped to a little ninja… it worked. He arrived through dirt roads covered in mud and actually didn’t dump it despite his campsite throwing the balance off considerably. He said he’d never do it again though.
Just because you CAN do it….. doesn’t mean you should.

THANK FOR WATCHING.
For me it’s the opposite, it’s quite difficult to pitch a tent with a buddy’s help…
Yeah, what the hell is going on over in those Texas camp sites?
Back when I was a young Pube .....long before FUCKING ADV BIKES.... I camped off my 1982 Yamaha 650 Maxxim, 1988 Yamaha 700 Fazer, and my 1988 Kawasaki ZL1Eliminator, Soft saddles, tank bag, tent, and a sleeping bag was all neatly strapped to the iron horse.
Have not taken any of my modern bikes camping yet.... 2015 Honda VFR800DLX and the 2019 Honda CB1000R.
Perfect timing on this video. Just started thinking about getting in to moto camping.
Today my grandpa brought a 90s Honda cb250 and I'm jealous that I'm not allowed to ride it.
I'm getting a Honda shadow 125 so i can't be that jealous
Great video Yam.
Three things: Good sleeping bag, thick insulation mattress and a lightweight field bed. When SHTF a good night's sleep makes the difference. I use a tarp so that I have protection from the elements if I have to work on the bike. Ride safe brothers.
Did a 4 day camping trip and 1200km with my GF a few weeks ago. Was a really refreshing experience. One thing that is absolutely not to be underestimated, is to get a good quality tent, inflatable matress and pillow. Your sleep quality will improve tenfold

Always wanted to try camping with my bike but the most I’ve done was pick up 2 spare wheels with tires, forks, and some smaller parts which include a stator cover. Threw it all on the back and tied it with rope and proceeded to go off road and through gravel and it worked surprisingly well lol
I've been motocamping and backpacking off my Honda Nighthawk for the past 2 months. It's been a great time!
I just got a night hawk myself!!!!
No idea how informative the video was but this was your most hilarious video yet. Everyone should watch this video all the way through it doesn't stop until the very end.

THANK FOR WATCHING
I mean it was surface level information and accurate but you clearly had a lot of fun making this video. And it was absolutely awesome and fracking funny.
Papa Yam loves me! Yesterday I ask for offroad content and he delivered
ZIP TIES.....LEATHERMAN.......DUCT TAPE. The Holy Trinity of road trips...
You are both pragmatic and hilarious at the same time. This is a great video to help entice anyone into the wonderful and wild world of motorcycle camping. Keep up the great work and “down with the ev bikes” stripping away the true adventure that is the motorcycle riding.
man... just decided to do a motorcycle camping trip in a bout 3 weeks and this video shows up on my feed. Great job guys
Super useful tips, that's the best video I've seen from you, and I've seem hundreds of them
More of these guys !
Another good option instead of a sleeping bag is a camping quilt. It's lighter weight and imo more comfortable.
A scooter is actually optimal for camping. They usually have a large truck, large under seat storage, bag hooks by your knees, and a front rack. You can carry a car load with them.
If you enjoy cooking on the road, fine. For me, after a couple of trips I started leaving pots and pans at home. I take a small stove and mug.
I did one camping/motorcycle meet trip in Arizona with my sporty. We had to ride about a mile into our site on dirt roads. It wasn’t the smartest thing, but none of us in my group crashed. We watched two people crash into the dirt and it was pretty damn funny. Everyone clapped and cheered them on before we picked their bike up.
Now I need a yammie noob goes camping series lol
Oh man, that Matt D' Avella plug when he says "minimalist" I loved it
Just came back from camping. 3 tips - buy smallest tent you can find. Your bike don't need one and you can just cover it with pocket size tarp. 2) buy smallest, most priciest sleeping mat. 3) buy that small tire pump that can be charged via USB and have flashlight build in. It can inflate, deflate your tires, check your morning pressure and shed some light at night when you cook your MRA
A collapsible cooler that is a manageable size to carry on your bike is a good addition for your kit.
Most of the time you will be within a quick ride of a town that you can grab some ice in, and head back to camp.
Yes i did bring a queen size air mattress!
Was it comfortable? Yes
Did its weight make my bike highly unstabile? Also yes.
Worth it 😂
If you can put a 140 lbs woman on the back of a bike, and let’s be honest most are more than this, then you’ll have no problem bringing your air mattress. Unless she comes with you that is…lmao
@@boontoolin my whole luggage was 35-40kg, so about half as much as a woman. My bike (vstrom650 1st gen) has this issue of the front getting light, plus the suspension is 18 years old, so no wonder. If i ever want to take a woman with me, ill have to upgrade it first :D
Just came back from a camping trip on my r7...never thought I'd fit it with universal fit saddle bags, but it worked!
Sneaking in that sweet sweet ADV content.
Solid video Yammie Team
Over 1mill subs! Wow I joined you way back at 10k great work guys !! Keep it up💯💯
Was just discussing this over breakfast
Such an epic topic. You've yet to do it justice.
What a timing, i’m starting a motocamping trip tomorrow
I’m so excited for it!

In rural areas you can almost always find a cut hayfield, farm lane between corn fields, a tiny patch of woods, or a country cemetery to camp in free of charge. Get out of sight of the road and don't enter in view of any houses if possible. Carry a lightweight camo cover for your bike to make it invisible. If by chance the landowner catches you, tell him you got lost, apologiz profusely, and promise there will be no trace of your visit. Why pay to camp if you don’t have to? Like Valkyre Mike once said, "Camping is always free."
Yam: "Tank bag"
Me: *taps the like button*
I would love to see you guys pack up the Interceptor and go camping on It. You've already done the trackday, why not take It adventure riding. Also I wanna know what kind of bags tou would put on the Interceptor.

I really like that patch kit, it's really cool, but it didn't come with any balloons 🙃😉🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
.... awesome video as always, thanks big papa yams
I just got my first bike got a klr650 and I can't wait to do this
Hitting the Natchez Trace in mid-October for my first, and easy, moto-camping trip. Three primitive campgrounds on the route for sleeping, but will probably eat at restaurants along the way.
Gonna go on my first motorcycle camping trip next Friday with my Africa Twin. Just driving it to the trail head then going to hike and camp from there. Def going to get a patch kit, tool kit, and pump only two things on this list I don't already have.
Always bring a little block of wood to put your kickstand on so it doesn't sink in the dirt.
True bro, or else it will be finding a flat rock out there
Us Aussies just stomp the first beer can, at least one beer should be consumed before setting up tent 😁
I can not tell you how nice it was to have a water filtration device and a portable solar panel. Size of a book and charges my phone in two hours of Italian sun. Also, water from a forest river just feels nice to drink.
You forgot to tell people to bring a few Claymore mines. You know, because bears might come in the night for your picnic basket.
You had me at "where am I gonna take a shit" lol
Track day? Interstate charity run? Single track? Commuting? Moto camping? Starting a motorcycle gang? Need to peel a potato? The answer to every question is Suzuki SV 650.
Oof called out for my tacoma and sport bike.
I'll just say a 65L backpacking bag plus using all backpacking gear, tent, pad, sleeping bag, cooking gear. You can fit everything you need for a week including food in that bag. I'm used to carrying it on my back for +40km trips. I'm actually starting to ride my SV650 to trailheads before hitting trails(given they're soft enough otherwise I'll use the fully built tacoma)
So - here's my question - Backpacks are ok? I mean, I would not put a full 60L monstrosity on my back, but something around 40 filled to the gills, might do the trick. Is that something acceptable? I have a Vitpillen, and my capacity to put staff over there is kinda limited. So yeah. Backpacks? Yay? Nay?
@@ShadowKstr are you on a 401 or 701?
And when you think about it. A 35-40lb 60L pack is still significantly lighter and smaller than a pillion.
I almost always ride with my ski backpack since its so form fit. But I'm not worried about my backpacking pack at all. I'll be riding with it 1200km round trip next week. I also bought a tail bag for any extras
Panniers or tail bag before tank bag
😉 😉
Also, bring a viable water filter if you camp near a water source.
a decent gasoline stove is a must if in the back of beyond, with a length of syphon hose to recover some juice from the tank
I've been wanting to go motorcycle camping for a while, but I'm worried about loading down the Street Triple and riding it on dirt/gravel roads.
You'll be fine mate honestly any bike can do it, just take your time 👍
Yeah man, just do it. I went out on a Sportster S while my mate was on a H2. If you can't carry it in a backpack you can't carry it. Make do. Light and tight is how you do it. Do you want to go camping or glamping? It is meant to be hard, otherwise you would buy a sensible hatch back.
@@MrKillervincent You don't have to take a bunch of gravel and dirt roads unless you want to. Nice camping places are everywhere!
Have these noobs even BEEN camping?
Me ignoring all of this on a yzf doing rallies 😂 pop up tents are great if you can fit one, they dont pack so small so I'd actually reccomend a pole style tent over a pop up, an air bed packs pretty small tbh (one with a built In pumps brilliant (check out the HI-GEAR, best but of kit I've bought in years and an air bed is essential to a good nights sleep, that and a warm tog sleeping bag (mine opens up like a blanket too which is great if its warmer) a couple of burgers and a disposable BBQ makes a great weekend away anywhere
Funny vid made me smile 🤣😆
Good start…more info needed for the noobs…

Id pick a sport bike over a dual sport any day for camping.... But a sport touring / cruiser / ADV bike are your best choises.

Hilarious....one of your best vids yet. I've camped from my bike but prefer La Quinta suites, LOL
... and don't forget the bear spray (not sure how that works on mountain lions). ;)

...and remember, bear spray doesn't work like bug spray!!!
Watching this while on a motorcycle Camping Trip 😂
Yam have you heard of the muff pot things that attach to your exhaust and you can cook as you ride. They might be a good option
AWESOME VIDEO AMAZING ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Your a funny guy, thanks
Pro tip- cover your seat at night so its not soaked when you wake up and head out
Have wanted to try moto camping for years!
Backpacking gear is your friend. Sure, you don't need it, but if it's small and light enough to throw in a backpack and hike for miles, imagine how much extra you'll be able to fit on a motorcycle vs just a backpack.

100 miles each way on a cutdown 250 scooter. 30 litre dry-bag bungee'd over the pillion, smaller one between my feet with a sleeping bag, small hard-shell rucksack for a change of clothes. Tent, propane stove, billycan, 3/4 length self-inflating mattress, sleeping bag, folding chair, coffee, Kindle. Civilisation close enough for food & beer.
Note: an English guy just set a World record for the longest trip on a 50cc bike - over 10,000 miles around Europe on a Honda C50. No hotels, no motorways, no satnav, and carried everything on the bike. Averaged 250 miles a day.
I have a question unrelated to this video. I've done levels 1 and 2 of CSS and I'm about to go to my first track day on my own. I'll be alone and one of the requirements is that my sidestand is zipped tied or wired in place. My question is, when I come back from a session, what's the best way to get off my bike and get it on the paddock stand since I'll be alone? Any suggestions or tips would be appreciated.
I feel like camelbak or someone should sponsor my boy yams as much as he talks about staying hydrated... which is necessary... just a thought 🤔
Dork did a video earlier this year on his Grom. You can get it done on any bike.
That's one hell of a fun fact 👌
guys you need to pick up a SER RON LB X I've damn near Fallin in love with this electric bike.
my street bike is a 250l
I wonder if those magnetic tank bags might stick to a metal tank through a bit of some kind of tape so grit doesn't vibrate abrasions into the paint surface.
dont forget tire preasure
I do less then it says cause its a better grip, but when there is a friend on the motorcycle then more pressure, same for luggage
yeey
Some road bikes (equipped with full time ABS systems) should never, ever go off road. In a downhill situation, you may very quickly find you effectively have no brakes.
I have a tank pouch on my cbr600, and getting soft saddles for my 1200 sporty
Whoa Nelly that's an old clip! "Hi I'm Kenny Rogers and this is the catchin a baseball bat with mah teeth"
You know what makes a good "camping bike" a V-strom, yes that overlooked bike from Suzuki, you can pile on all the gear you want, and it just Begs for more . V-strom,the bike that just keeps on giving since 2002
Yamminoob is BALD why?!
Hah. I go backpacking. A bike means I can carry a bigger tent but I have all the rest of my gear.
tdubskid is a good channel to watch for motocamping content and setup tips
"No sport bikes for camping!"
*gets notification for a video from a guy crossing the Amazon forest with a Hayabusa on rain season*
I camped occasionally off my former 2010 ZX-10R. Soft throw-over bags, with a bungied sleeping bag & REI backpacking tent worked just fine.
Wow actually went moto camping first time today haha
If youre choosing a hammock instead of a tent, then you better not forget your tarp
In NZ the adv bikes actually do ADV riding. But then I've seen a couple of brand new harley heritage chrome guys smashing their belt drives down 50km of gravel roads with no mishaps. Guys who treat their bikes as bikes, not status symbols can do anything.
Yeehaw brothers

Yammie Noob please do something with the Desert X please anything it’s such a cool bike 😭😭
If you have a vacuum storage bag you might be able to take your hentai body pillow. But I wouldn't know anything about that.
If I get a M109 it'll have a trailer hitch for the Glamper!
Camping on a scooter. Sleeping bag would make a comfortable seat backing
Neopets!!! My dragon is dead...
Think Ténéré T7, Enduristan, kriega and ROK straps 👍
Cooshy 9-5 job? Sir. Sometimes I work 40 hour days. 😂
