Thank you. I have camped for many years. At age 55 i am now traveling alone and doing a lot of motorcycle camping. The info you provided is excellent and spot on.

Honestly, one of the most helpful videos out there on youtube for this subject. Thanks for sharing !!!

I’ve never been on a long ride but you sir, have manage to inspire me to give it a go. I most certainly will use your video as my guide. Thank you for an outstanding gift - your insight and honesty is most appreciated!

I am so stoked to see a Suzuki GS850G still running strong! Great bike!

The best vid of it's kind I have found and free from the usual BS. Thanks man

Excellemt video. I travelled across Europe a couple of times and you have taught me about cooking staff and security! Congratulations!

This video was great man! Really appreciate you taking the time to thoroughly go over in detail and explain to people the reasons to why and why not to take certain gear. Thanks buddy I learnt a lot !

It's amazing how far camera phones have come since 2011. All good info though. Thanks for sharing with us your techniques!

You are going to have an hard enough time on the road. The last time that you want is sleeping somewhere that is not comfortable. Take a good tent with you. Excellent advice (and we know about tents!). You just listed a lot of excellent tips! Thanks

Seeing this seven years later and still many good tips. Thanks.

Hi Chris, I don't usually post comments but I want to thank you for taking the time and care to post this up. I've gotten the adventuring itch but life's kept me from doing my research/getting experience with shorter (learner) trips. Your video helped a lot. I hope your trip goes really well!

Thanks Chris, excellent information and saves people like me reinventing the wheel.

Thanks Chris, great video and I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and wisdom. Planning a Cape to Cairo trip later this year and this video was very valuable to me. Safe travels.

Great video, thanks for taking the time and effort to make it. Safe travels.

a big RESPECT for this video and for your experience

Chris, Bloody great information and advice for any big trip....Thanks a Million for taking the time! Kind regards, Jan

thank you for the video ! great ideas , great info for anyone who is considering motorbiking on long trips ... thank you !! you are quite an inspiration !

Thanks Chris for sharing!! awesome video dude!

Excellent video young man, you taught an old man something. Bike gods be with you.

Chris, most informative. Great narration as well

The best thing i've heard in electronic gadgets so far 'If you need a good camera, get a good camera and don't use a phone camera' Totally true facts!

Really liked this video and the editing is awesome.

Great video. It's amazing how points you have touched on that are already in my kit. I have been refining it for some time now and though I haven't traveled long duration like you (yet) it's good to know I'm on the right track. Rubber side down!

Great video Chris, amazing trip! Cheers, Fab

Brilliant video, can't believe how much stuff you can carry on one bike. Enjoy the rest of your journey.

Too Good & very practical. Hope he continues with some tips on most vulnerable spare parts to carry.

What an incredible informative video.... I would honestly say it is the most sincere and practical. Thank you.

Great video. Informative. I've done all kinds of riding and racing on & off road, but not moto camping. Can't wait to start small with my WR450F. Rock on & enjoy the world!

Thanx for the very useful video and have a good trip!

travelmoto Thanks :)

Thanks Steve, have a blast buddy. Pyrennes is an spectacular place.

1. Camping (wild or not). You can even sleep next to the Gas Stations (open 24h / has light / has shower sometimes / has a shop) 2. Couchsurfing 3. Meeting people 4. A cute hotel from time to time to enjoy it

loved the video...great work..keep it up man..

Really interesting and some great tips. Just realised that I'm gonna need a bigger bike if I want to carry all that stuff with me (loved the idea of the iron skillet - let no man be without his creature comforts) - along with some serious squat workouts for when I drop it.

Crazy amount of stuff! Love the "bring on the apocalypse" comment! Sounds good to me though mate, gad you're having fun :) Maybe one day we'll meet and you can cook me some food!

Hi i am here in the uk. Loved your video. Plenty of sensible advice. Good you take time to do this for us. I am just starting out here, So many places for me to try out here in the uk, Hopefully once i get the cofidence will try further afeild. Thank you so much

Great video. Thanks for taking the time!

Very informative, loved the video, stay safe..and good travels

love your videos man!! Im planing my adventure and this helps lots!!

This is a great video as i am in the planning stages of a European motorcycle trip from Canada, very informative...thanks

Great video Chris, very informative, helped a lot, thanks for sharing..

really nice info, short and simple but still very useful

Basic bike you can get for under $2K, no name brand gear. Not shilling any brand of motorycycle specific stuff. Travels world making videos about it. Beautiful.

I really like this video. I'm getting ready to travel with motorcycle and this video really works for me. Thank you.

Hi Chris, excellent adventure your on. Thanks for all the info. And tips. I do not agree with all of your reasoning for bringing certain items, but hey your there and I am stuck here in BOise IDaho for awhile yet until I can do my own adventure. Good luck have fun and keep the rubber down.

hey, i have the exact same water bottle. WOO! great video btw very inspirational and educational. good luck on your travels

Great video and very informative. You have a lot of common sense, Thanks for the video.

Nicely done with a lot of good information. The flare gun is a good idea.

Very cool video. You must get to see so many great sites doing this. I appreciate the good tips also as I may take an adventure with my dual sport bike soon but not 5 years hehe.

I have to admit I wanna see a "how to" vid on pack-up techniques as well, but AWESOME video have a great ride brother!

I have an adventure coming up real soon! I've always wanted to travel in this fashion and I'm gearing up to finally do it. Thought since it will be my 1st time I'm planning my trip more from hotel to hotel with some camping in between. Thank you so much for this video.

Great, informative video! Ride safe and enioy the rest of your journey :-).

Great video! Thanks for posting.

In June I am riding to Leh Ladakh and u was just making list of stuff. Luckily I saw this and helped me a lot.

Thanks Al. Ride safe.

great vid!!!! see you on the road!!

Thanks Craig, ride safe :)

Great video and very help full :)

Thank you for invaluable knowledge!

Great video, very useful. Can't imagine why people would thumbs down to this video. Safe Travels !

Thanks for all share ideas! U help others,that is 1,but the best plan! !!!THANKS!!! From LV.

Nice video with some very good information, thanks.

very sound advice I like your style dude!

I've been planning a trip to start in a months time, this video has been very helpful. Although it does seem like a lot of stuff, however your trip is a lot longer than my planned one. I'm glad and surprised how fast technology has advanced though, as I only need my one compact dslr with 2 lenses, ultralight laptop and external drive which takes up hardly any space in comparison to the older tech. got an action cam on the helmet too.

I loved your video, straight forward and to the point. I thank you for making it ignore the idiots that don't do anything…..my favorite quote is " those that say it can't be done, need to get out of the way of the one who is doing it."

Thanks for sharing. All the best

love your 850 it looks in great condition there bulletproof motorcycles enjoy your journey rev

Really informative video from a man who is living an amazing life. Your right about the electronics as well; I was on a bike in india and came back with just a few photos which sadly got lost over time, but the trip.... I'm subbuing you to see how you are getting on.

Great video and thanks for the tips.

This guy is spot on!

Excellent video, very informative. 5year trip !!?? Dude !! Sticky side down buddy, stay safe !I've got a 23 day tour of the Spanish Pyrennes in May'Jun this year which will be fun!

Thanks for a great video, will be going away in Balkans this summer I hope, cheers Nick

Fantastic info... so enjoyed your video..

Great video. Thank you. Stay safe.

Great video!

Well, if you're going to live away from home for a long time you might as well bring the whole house with you haha. Very nice video and it's good to see what someone with the experience carries. There are so many guys on you tube making some "survival kits" in case you get lost in the middle of Zanzibar but they never leave the house. It's good to know that all of this shit fits on a bike, even the tool box... My favorites: Tent, sleeping bag and pad, ax, mosquito net and of course the skillet - i love the skillet =) Get one of those folding saws too!

I was in your shoes and just said the hell with it. Get on the road man. The job can wait :))

Very useful for me , thank you

Thanks :) best of luck to you and ride safe.

Great video. I hope someday to go on a adventure like yours
