Probably my most favorite Redline episode to date so far!! I love my Moto camping Adventures on my versys but one thing always still eludes me. Whenever I pack my adult beverages in the beginning of the trip they always get well....rather warm. Any products or tried-and-true advice you wish to give this young buck? 🍺

Bag Wine has come a long way, red wine is preferred warm. So Bota Box and Black Box are two great options for adult beverages.

Get a reusable soft freezer pack, place between beverage cans, and wrap in towel, place in plastic bag, and Wrap again in blanket, or even middle of sleeping bag stuff sack. The wrap will act as insulation, keeping cold in, and heat out. Towel will absorb condensation, plastic bag keeps outer layers dry. Dry towel by fire while enjoying beveridge. Use bag for cleaning up campsite, or separating dirty clothes and clean.

This is one of those videos where you think, "I'll know all this stuff already" but you end up learning some things anyway. On my first trip 20 years ago I set up the tent properly but later that night I was so drunk I couldn't find it in the dark. I passed out face down on the ground outside some other tent with a snoring man inside. Happy times.

Chilli for dinner is fine as long as you are in separate tents.

One thing I want to add before hitting the road is to adjust rear shock preloads due to the additional weight. This is important, as my friend rode out once with all his panniers and top box on the rear and his shocks bottomed out giving a rear tire tube pinch. His whole camping was cancelled as he had to tow his motorcycle back to garage.

Loved the format. Less advertisement and more content. Thumbs up guys

You guys are legit like the good old topgear but with bikes. Im not even into touring but still watched the video

I took a long ride up to Bill's Old Bike Barn yesterday. What a fantastic and varied collection! I thought I'd be there only a half hour or so? 3 hrs later, I had to admit to myself there was still too much to see, and I'll be going back annually. Great content you guys!

Always remember to adjust suspension according to the added gear and/or passenger weight. Good episode!

Makes such a difference! First time I was testing out carrying my girlfriend pillion and the handling felt like shit - cranked the rear preload up from 3 to 7 (only adjustability I had) and it made a world of difference.

I do quite lot of backbacking and winter ski touring with tent accomondation. So here's few tips: a) Don't get canned food. It's awful from weight and package point of view. b) Don't bring beer. Same as a. Bring hard booze. c) DEFINITELY bring airmatress or foam under the sleeping bag. More critical the colder it gets. In motorcycle "camping" it's not life and death, but you really do not want to get any cold on your back after it's been carrying shit all day. d) When you get out of tent, get your sleeping bag out and turn it over and put it fe. over the tent. Let it dry out from your nightly sweat while you eat, etc. Even if it doesn't feel moist. e) if you are camping above freezing temperatures, use gas stove, not gasoline. It's lighter and backs better. f) Less is more. You don't need change of clothes every day. You don't need separate plates, etc, for eating. If it's not cold, don't get thermos bottle.

Outstanding video. I especially appreciate the explicit consideration for space and budget. I had never heard the tip about trimming the foam sleeping pad. Brilliant! Thank you, guys!

Thanks for the episode guys! With my knee out of commission, I'm living vicariously through watching yours and other videos. Can't wait to heal up and get back out again. Cheers!

Good vid guys and for those just getting into the Moto Camp Groove. I have also found that a Folding/Collapsible chair and a Jetboil kit stove are essential and that some of the best gear and related advice has actually come from the backpacker hiker & x-country ski community.

This show is great. As a solo dualsport camper hitting open BLM land on my weekends, I learned quite a few things from you guys!

I'm about to embark on a 2 week motocamping trip with someone I've never camped with before. Perfect timing for some inspiring video.

So awesome... Bill's old bike barn is like 5 minutes from where I grew up. Love that you guys are doing new things in the motoblogging realm.

Great episode showing the approach with two different styles/sized bikes and luggage options! My essential lightweight camping gear are a Jetboil, Aeropress, bivy sack, and Mountain House freeze dried meals. I'm jonesing to get out and explore. Thanks for the tips!

I am so glad I found this channel ... You guys are passionate about what you do and it shows

That last tip is so important. Been camping for years (out of a car), often in outback Australia and my parents always drilled it into me to clean up the campsite after. Every time I go with the boys now we scour the campsite like a search party cleaning up all the rubbish and it is disgusting how much of it is left from other campers. It's not a hard job and it keeps the outdoors looking as tidy as possible. Think I got some good tips for my first motorbike camping trip I'll do as soon as I have my bike ready, cheers boys

My new favorite Revzilla video. These dudes had great chemistry... loved that banter

i love my parachute hammock and a rain tarp for that time of the year. never underestimate a good pack of wipes too.

I have those same givi outback on my F800 and love them. great seats, tables etc.... I use them for a stable platform for my stove

Always love coming back to this video a the start of the season, going to be a great summer!

Best episode so far!! the moto museum was most of my favorite part!! Keep it up!!!!!

Great video as usual. Wish they'd come out more often! Awesome!

Good video. You are right about unpacking and drying out your camping equipment.

Im heading out on a week long moto camping in a week and now this pops up in my feed. And its 20min, timing couldnt be more perfect! :)

Lem and Sperg you both look like you're enjoying your dream jobs. Thanks for the content.

Love that campground, the owner is an amazing guy! Been going for years.

Only the best of friends are able to ride and camp together but it is on a completely different level when they can take potshots at each other without getting irritated. . . . good on you fellas. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for this! Great vid.

As a frequent camper who buys a bike this week, i'm looking forward to this summer! Thanks for the video!

Great video and wow what a loverly place that barn .I use a Givi 25Lt on the back and i put the tent on top

By far the best Redline episode to date. Even though it was a little cheesy and campy at times I didn't feel like it was a late-night infomercial trying to sell me a bunch of stuff that I don't really need.

Loved this segment guys! Keep up the great work on showing how much of a fun lifestyle motorcycling can be. Wish this came out before my first moto camping trip a few months ago, but can't complain. Great editing too!

Somehow just seeing this now. Great inspiration to plan a trip for when things open back up. Thanks!

3 years later and this is still a great video. Thanks Rev crew

You guys are amazing! Very helpful episode that leaves a nice and happy feeling within..i wanna head out now!! Cheers guys!

I’m on a new harly softail, I bought ozark 7 person teepee tent, doesn’t take up lot of room but I can stand up and walk around in the tent, easy set up too.

Just rode the Colorado BDR route on my 2018 Honda Rally like yours. I added side and rear racks, crash bars and skid plate for a total of about 10 pounds, and had 45 pounds in three Nelson Rig dry bags. The bike was still well under max weight and handled everything very well, on road and off. My buddy carried about 45 pounds on his Versys 650 so between us we had a large tent, table, chairs, stove, cooler, food, water and supplies for a week with no problem.

Total Zen!! Need much more of this, world would be a better place. But honestly not a single word spoken….I can’t open my tool box without talking to myself😂😂. Thanks Ari, this was good and that little warrior needed a new heart to go with that never die soul. 👍🏻

Awesome boys! Very well thought out tips, tricks and advices :)

Nice break from the typical gear reviews and maintenance tips - great to see you guys promoting one of the great biker pastimes; rolling free, exploring new areas and camping. Thanks for keeping it simple and fun, and encouraging riders to get out there and enjoy one of the most rewarding aspects of motorcycling.

Some good info about tents and sleeping bags. Love Lemmy... seems such a good character.

Awesome video!! I’m riding a vstrom down to Texas from Missouri on Monday! I have dual hard cases and one backpack. I’m excited! I’m going to go slap and camp, so 7 days on the road. Thanks for the tips guys 🙌🏼🙌🏼

Thanks guys. Very useful. One of the best videos I've watched in KZread

Great video. You guys were camping and riding in an area that i frequent a couple times of year. Bills bike barn is awesome and i've camped at steal steeds several time. The owners there are awesome. Love camping at the bottom of the hill near the river where you guys were.

Good advise!! i find every time ive gone over the years its been less and less things carried. less things = less weight. lighter bike. more enjoyable ride!

makes me want to go camping with my friends. good job guys! nice bikes btw

Hey they're out by Indian Head, PA. I've camped as well as gone to that museum, too! Can't wait to go by bike in the future!

More camping and touring videos please!! I know you guys mainly do reviews and tips videos but this is awesome too!!

Awesome video, thanks for letting people know to leave the place cleaner than it was!

I pack all food/water/heavy stuff on center rack for balance and keep soft light tent, bedding and cloths on side paniers of 300lb wr250r. acrebis illuminated hand guards which are low draw led on a separate toggle switch make for good lighting and with a new lithium ion battery i feel comfortable leaving them on for even a few hours if needed. thanks for the inspiration, I am going to that billy barn from long island this spring. awesome vid.

Loved this episode.. then I remembered Broke Back Mountain... ;) good job guys... very informative and BIlls bike barn.. who knew.. planning trip there this summer for his 80th Anniv.

Awesome video guys. I've been thinking about doing a trip to Yosemite from Texas. Definitely not a weekend trip but info nevertheless. Content is awesome and the chemistry between you two keeps the video interesting. Please do more of these videos.

Great video! Heading to Bill's tomorrow from Philly. Can't wait!

Those hard bags/boxes look fantastic on the AT.

Mountain House meals. All you need is water, something to boil it in and a fire or jetboil type system. You'll probably bring water anyway and the mountain House meals are light and very packable.

Hey RevZilla, i work at a bike shop and a backpacking store and I just want to say you guys hit everything on th head here camping wise. Lem and sturge must've done some camping/backpacking back in the day. Y'all have my stamp of approval!

Great insight for the baby wipes. I love to motocamp with my Yamaha MT.

You guys are awesome. Keep those videos and bikes rolling.

Wow, what a great episode! So cool to see that Spurge is riding the same bike as mine, although his is a bit older. Happy Camping

I’m so ready to go motorcycle camping for the first time. Options are within 30 minutes of my home. Thank you for this helpful video.

We are Moto camping this year. Me on a Goldwing pulling a trailer. My wife on Spyder. We can take everything. We get the looks when we pull into the campgrounds.

The new backpacking cots are a great alternative to a sleeping pad. They get you above the rocks and You can store shoes and gear underneath increasing your in the tent storage. Lastly for even more comfort add an inflatable sleeping pad on top. Don’t forget a backpacking chair. Sitting on the ground or on rocks after riding is less relaxing. Being well rested is key to enjoying the ride.

Been camping over 30 years but never by bike. Found this useful, thanks

Great Video guys. Really enjoyed it and Thanks for the tips!!

"The mountains are calling and I must go" that's a t-shirt from Jackson, Wyoming. Love it! (My home). All great advice, but there's no way you're gonna catch me drinking a Miller Lite. 😂

These vids are great. Keep them coming.

A hammock/underliner are a good space-saving option to the tent/sleep pad set up if you can find some trees nearby. Saves the space used by tent poles. Still need a sleeping bag either way, though you might get away without in warm southern nights.

Took my R3 camping this past summer. My 2 person cocoon tent didn't fit into any of my bags, had to have the batons hanging out the back. So paranoid i was gonna get there and not have em anymore. I let my friends with the campers take care of the food situation. I bought a decent bottle of bourbon to make up for it. You tend to get a lot of looks when you go rolling into a campground on a sportbike loaded with camping gear.

that MT at 9:20 is the British army bike, it is so much fun to ride & will go anywhere, a little under powered but still so much fun, my friend rides one in the winter.

A bivy with a mummy style sleeping bag, with 3/4 size thermal pad, is my preferred sleeping/shelter arrangement. When nasty weather forecast or possible, also an old army poncho, or 6x8 tarp. to bear the worst mother nature throws my way. If temp going to be higher, a ranger blanket/ poncho liner, with a bug bar and tarp works best. (We get black flies, mosquitos, horse and deer flies, that are HUUGEE where I camp most of the time.) Think I might try one of the hammock type shelters out there. would eliminate the need for sleeping pad, and tent/tarp save major weight, (long as there are trees to hang from.)

Dudes of the road.. cheers mates.. great video.

Great video, some talk about camping stoves may have been handy especially in countries where open fires are less acceptable!

Wow looks like fun I love reserving a spot taking off early on a Friday Have everything packed and ready to go How ever, I do it Goldwing style. 18 cubic feet trailer, 6 man tent, two burner stove, full size coffee pot, cot, etc. the works. Always looks like fun, enjoy

Great show. Lem, your tent can be bought with a great feature (floor saver). Much lighter and packs easier. Another option for luxury camping on a bike is a cot, Check out Alps Mountaineering ready lite cot. If you want more details on light camping check with your local Scout troop!

I've never motorcycle camped, but you're right it does seem a lot like backpacking. I've done a fair amount of backpacking in my day, and small & light is definitely the key. Spurge, so you know, they make a backpacking Keurig now.

Do like ultralight backpackers and just bring compactor trash bag as a waterproof liner inside your soft bags that doubles as a separator for wet/dirty vs dry/clean.

I have a small 125cc bike and I'm planning to go to a festival this summer, the trip is going to be about 300km. These tips are great.

Awesome episode, great tips. It is always fun to see you guys interact on a not so scripted kind of way.

Really enjoyed this video chaps. Ride safe from a fan in the UK

yeah! camping with motorcycles!

When I get my Tuareg 660 I'm definitely joining you guys.

Hey guys, great channel. Regarding cans lined with plastic, as long as the contents is water based liquid, as opposed to oil-based, you're good to go with heating on a flame; the liquid prevents the plastic reaching melting point. You can literally put a plastic water bottle above a flame, and it won't melt.

Excellent video production. Reminds me of the On Two Wheels videos from Motorcyclist Magazine.

I have an FJ cruiser that I have turned into an overlander with solar power, fresh water storage, extra fuel, integrated propane holders, radio systems, solar shower, and a whole pullout storage system in the back with, quite literally, a pull out kitchen with sink and grill. So this is very different style of back country camping I really want to try.

This was pretty good. Good work guys 👍🏼

Fine episode right there

Had a fun time camping with you fine gentlemen!
