Hey Staci, your videos always make me smile and leave me in a good mood! Thanks!
Fantastic video. Looks like a beautiful spot to camp. Thanks for giving us the rundown on equipment.
Great Staci!!! When I lived in Colorado I was up the Poudre a lot. Thanks for the memories!!
Great vlog Staci! Thank you for sharing your new tips on motorcycle camping! 👍🇺🇸
Excellent content, Staci.Just found your channel ... thoroughly enjoyable. I do a lot of back country canoe camping and treated myself to a hammock system for Xmas ... never thought of an underquilt ... thanks for the idea. Cheers 🍻
Great video once again! I’m planning some camp and ride trips for this summer can’t wait!! Take care my friend
Nice food-tography and thanks for kick-starting my moto-camping / track camping shopping list. Have a great Spring!
That was a great informative video. Thanks! I need to check the list. I definitely need a one night escapade on the bike. 🤘🏼

Very good hammock camping overview. I have one, yet to use it. Looks like a great place to camp.
Wow, I haven't been to Poudre Canyon in years. Thanks for the ride along. I may have to come to Colorado a couple days early on the way to Sturgis this year.
That smells so good hung I will there!!! Great food. I enjoy following you great ride.
Those cutting pads are awesome. Have used them in the big camper and the motorcycle camper for years
Another great video! Now you have me wanting to add a camp trip to my bike outings this year. Keep the content coming. I do enjoy and appreciate your talent.
Rad! This definitely inspired me to start riding again! Been looking for a bike to just go on long adventures with and camp. Glad I came across your channel!

So much great camping advice here for people! I love cooking this way, fine dining in the outdoors. I’ll second getting a quilt for extra warmth, I use the same one. And agame changing pillow for me has been the Nemo Fillo after hearing Dork in the Road recco it. The size of inflatable but the better comfort of a foam. Loved watching!

That area is some of the most beautiful in the country. I went there in the mid 90's to climb Grey rock mountain. Then climbed the 3rd flatiron in Boulder. One of my favorite trips. Only way it could have been better is if I made the trip on my Harley. Great video 👍

This video really impacted me because, last summer, I camped off my bike with almost the exact same setup (ENO hammock, blanket, JetBoil, boil-bag meals and coffee) in almost the exact same environment (campground in the woods by a river). It brought back good memories watching this video.
As far as freeze dried goes, biscuits and gravy is the BEST ONE!

Oh man that looks like so much fun. I have so many questions on camping gear, finding MC friendly campsite etc. I guess I have to start doing my homework. My wife would never camp but I think I would probably do a weekend solo getaway camping trip. You said middle of May, assuming this is a current video, I presume you meant middle of April. Thanks for sharing your tips and knowledge. That dinner looked sooooo good but yeah, that's a long time invested for dinner. Look forward to the next adventure and at the moment, living vicariously.

Great video as always! For us moto campers in the Southeast, I'll throw out the Lawson Hammock as a great option too. Built-in bug net(for all those mosquitos and noseeums) as well as spreader bars so you don't feel like you're in a cocoon all night. Definitely on the pricey side, but it's the last hammock you'll ever need to buy!

I'm lucky the Cache la Poudre is only a half hour ride from where I live. I've ridden it several times and for some reason managed to stop at The Mishawaka to refresh myself. The Mountain House chicken and dumplings are not too bad either and the Jet Boil is darn fine tool. I'll have to get the pan set up. I just burn water currently for the dehydrated grub and coffee. It is a pretty good stretch to get to Cameron Pass but a fun rip for sure. Nice video and pants are over rated.

Staci, another great video, love seeing you "out and about", however, I would recommend trying out a Warbonnet Blackbird (BB XL) or El Dorado. Or even a Hennessy Expedition Asym Zip. I think you'd enjoy either one of those three a little better than being turned into a human taco in that Wise Owl or even that ENO. you get what you pay for. Amazon is NOT the place to get quality, durable camping gear. Guys if you're gonna use the gear on a routine basis, buy once, cry once. The hammocks I mention have built-in bug nets, in the case of the Warbonnets you can remove the bugnet or pull it back if you dont want one between you and the big blue. And besides buying from the companies I mentioned supports American cottage industries, Wise Owl....mmm not so much! But at the end of the day it's your $$$ so, you do you.

Not sure quite how hot your cooking system gets but try using a fire starting log . Break it into a small piece and drop it on your stoves ash catcher. A little lighter fuel or hand sanitizer on it will get it flaming . Gets a lot hotter than any alcohol can ive used and cooks meat quick as a home stove on medium to high temp. Cooked a few steaks the other day on mine . BIG difference between that setup versus the alcohol cans I was using before hand. Both work good just something to have in your back pocket !
