    My tips from 35+ years of camping, much of it solo and way out there: use a true free-standing tent. Once you set it up, you can pick it up and move it to a more comfortable spot / level area / wind protected spot. Guying out is a pain, esp. when the ground is hard or rocky. Carry a whistle. You can get one with a mini compass. If you wreck and become immobile, your voice will not last calling for help. Carry a tea-light candle, one for each night. A tiny amount of candle-light is very soothing in pitch-black darkness. Use a a beanie to cover your ears and your eyes (for sleeping in). Baby wipes are your friend for pooping. A few tea bags are essential to avoid headaches, if you are used to daily caffeine. A couple Imodium AD pills in case you get the runs from eating terrible food. A non-stick titanium pot and lid is insanely light, but costly. Use a bamboo spatula to avoid scraping the pot. Sunscreen for UV protection. Aloe vera cooling gel is my latest find. I get sun-burned even with sun-screen, somehow. Pack two head-lamps. The dark is dark. I never make camp-fires, as you will waste water putting it dead-out and smoke makes you stinky. I use a wrist compass on a Velcro strap. A handle-bar mounted compass can give you a false reading if your handlebars are a ferrous metal. Use a Gatorade bottle as a pee bottle at night (so you don't have to get up and out of your bag). All Forest Service Ranger Stations should have Motor Vehicle Use Maps (by law). They show every single Forest Road, no matter how short. Chatting with Rangers is a great way to get the latest info on road conditions / closures / alt. routes, prescribed burns, water levels, and weather. Sometimes, you may have info that helps them, if you have been out in the back-country.

    I think the reason why his channel hasn’t blown up yet is because it revolves around not only one bike but a non trendy bike with the hipsters. My channel is me building a 1920’s airplane from scratch, my audience is extremely tiny. I agree your videos are a absolute blast to watch and you seem like such a cool dude. But it’s a specialty bike.

But, I watch your vids and others and I'm wishing I'd have gotten into T-dub riding and camping a long, long time ago. Anyway, this video sure shows some really neat progression in camping setups for m/c applications. Very interesting. Thank you for this. Scott

    Scott, the only way it's ever going to happen is if you *_make it happen._* Make it a goal by laying out all the smaller goals req'd to be there doing it! You have to move yourself from ''wanting'' to ''doing'' by moving it from dream to plan, focusing on the reality of it instead of leaving it just that dream of wishful thinking. At our age it's hard to find the enthusiasm & impetus to accomplish and achieve said challenge because in so many ways we've already ''Been there, done that'' - yet we haven't really, and now we justify our lack of youthful drive in the false hope that _''Someday_ I'd like to...'' - lol - Now maybe I'm preaching as much to me as you, but if the *boot* fits... 😉

I’ve ridden dirt bikes all my life with my two sons and just today bought a new Beta 300 for off road riding and finally camping! I can’t wait for summer which comes late in the Colorado mountains. I’ll be 61 and I’ll stay within my limits ( I hope). Start on easy trails and work at your own pace.

    Speaking of minimalist moto camping, I'm gonna attempt to go on a minimalist moto camping trip with my buddy in July. We're going overnight in the NV desert, he's on a DRZ400 (won't be minimalist, got metal side saddle boxes) and I'm going on a Honda 100 with a backpack, I think its gonna be fuel, water, food, tent, cause I wont be able to fit much else! Wish me luck, I'm pretty nervous about it.

    Glue some strips of old bicycle inner tube along the length of the bottom of that big blue dry bag. Rubber cement or contact cement should work fine just wipe the surfaces to be glued down with denatured alcohol/methyl hydrate first to clean the surface so the glue sticks. Also, scuff up the inner tube after you cut it open on the side you're going to glue it with some sand paper for better adhesion before cleaning with alcohol or mineral spirits. Three or four strips of inner tube along the length of the bottom should provide ample grip so it stays in place much better. You just saved yourself a pocket full of cash for a new bag. Cheers.

    I moved away from down many years ago, since it is so hard to get dry once it gets wet. While bow hunting for Elk one September I saw the temperature go from 60 degrees in the daytime to 20 below zero fahrenheit at night in September, in Southwestern Montana. I was really glad that my sleeping bag was dry!

    yeah regular down is not great when wet, sea to summit uses a special treated ultra dry down in their bags. but does cost a bit more than others. yeah that gets scary if you have a wet bag in that kind of temp

    Great presentation, TDubs! I am now an overland camper using a converted cargo van but I want to buy a small dirt bike like yours or the Honda Trail 125 and mount it on a rack attached to a trailer hitch. Once I arrive at my campsite I can access trails or run to the local store. I used to motocamp using a Suzuki 250 enduro years ago while on active military duty in California. So much fun. I've enjoyed your videos due to your great skills as a rider and film maker.

    Hay, cool tip on the Sawyer filter. Its also made to fit inline on the straw inside a hydroflask. So just cut the straw to fit the length inside a hrdroflask. Then when you want to file it up, just unscrew cap, dip in the creek, screw cap back on and good too drink. And keeps it cold for a bit that way too.

    When you lit the 2 butane stoves, you can see part of the fire is blue and the upper portion of the flame is yellow. The blue portion is the hottest part of the flame.
