I just got some of the Sea to Summit collapsible stuff on Amazon on clearance.

My #1 rule when I camp? Avoid ALL people. I go where there is 4x4 access, only. No people around, good line of sight and my dog. The only thing I want bothering me while camping, is the sound of coyotes, howling at night. 👍

Good video. Thanks for sharing!

Good vid. I have small bike like yours there. Stumbled upon your channel and found good stuff on it.

I was watching one of your other episodes and you mentioned Air force and seer...I went through that too. Were you flight crew? I was a C-130 loadmaster for 7 years. Thanks for the vids!

I'm learning a lot from these videos 👍😊

Amazing video 😊

Useful gear. Light weight and useful. Never knew their was back packs designed for bikes. May we all have a better New Year. Merry belated Christmas.

With the rise of homeless camps/ camping, don’t be remotely close to such places. The seriously poor can be very desperate. As this presenter wisely says, properly planning ahead can prevent so many potentially serious problems. Cheers from Canada. 🇨🇦

Very good practical advice. Thanks!

In remote places, I've peed in a ring around my site to leave a human scent.

Always use situational awareness, even in the woods or wilderness

Wild Camping in Scotland: no animal predators, but close to the cities: junkies, who are likely to rob you, and other people doing illicit/indecent things. Like you said, the further from civilization you are, the quieter time you'll have of things. We can't carry guns here, or even camping/bushcraft knives longer than 3 inches, but, as a woman, it doesn't mean I'm completely vulnerable. A rattan Bo staff costs £40, looks like a walking staff (or just a big stick, so the Police won't pick you up for having an illegal weapon), and it only takes half a day to learn 4 key moves on how to give someone a serious headache (or break a couple of bones), should they decide to ignore a warning not to come closer than they should. Even flailing wildly works...I'm 5,9 and so is my staff...you'd be surprised how hard it is to approach or subdue a pissed-off woman swinging a stick around (if you don't have a gun, which most here don't). :}

what I have found helpful is wrap your spare tubes in duct tape to keep the tubes from getting wear marks from dirt and sand causing small leak holes. it also gives you a place for tape without having to bring a role. I pack the same. not over pack but I def have creature comforts on my trips

Thanks for sharing this info. What’s the story on camping next to a game trail? Also, searching “tourons of Yellowstone “ is entertaining.

Ugh... watching you (again), makes me wanna go camping, and I don't do winter camping! It's now Dec. 2024, that means we have to wait until mid May 2025! Looking forward to next camping season. Thx for the tips... Happy Camping everyone! 👍❤🇨🇦

Love the video and guidance - great stuff!

Very good overview of different styles of camping stoves. Even the tip about using hardwoods when cooking over a wood stove.....I'm sure there are a lot of people who are just getting into camping who don't know about using pine and similar soft resiny woods.

Hey there! Awesome video! We think you might be interested in what we're up to at Pasq. We're the creators of the first-ever single-wheel trailer designed specifically for motorcycles. We recently did an interview with Motobeemer where we shared all the latest updates about our project, and we'd love for you to check it out when you get a chance. Hope you enjoy it! kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5ykfqttYtyqkLc

I would camp with another person and am too old to camp out. I thank you for your sound advice.

Glad to see you're doing well for yourself!

Thank you for your safety knowledge of camping. Love camping ❤

Nice explanation video

When I saw your motorcycle and then all that camping gear I was thinking wtf - how did he pack all that? Haha then later I see I think your wife and a whole campsite. 😂

✌️🇺🇸 Hola Ray, Thank you for the pass the time ideas at camp 🚐🏕🚐 Just wanna get the message out 👀✌️🎊🇺🇸Get your pre planning of: the United States will soon commemorate its 250th birthday, or Semi quincentennial, celebration. The signing of our beloved Declaration of Independence 🇺🇸 nation's 250th birthday officially being recognized on July 4, 2026. 🎊🇺🇸🎊🇺🇸🎊🇺🇸🎊🇺🇸🎊🇺🇸

I would think about adding small wire cutters for fences. Everything is so organized but I would make a dedicated fire kit. Your fire supplies are spread out in the pack. Maybe some extra cash you can store in the knife sharpening kit behind the plates. A neck gaiter is useful. Leuko tape. A charging cord for the 3 major charging cord styles. Anti chaff stick. Contractors bags. A flare stick. A sniper veil for camouflage. A map of your county or state. Dyneema thread for sewing. Dedicated sunglasses to the bag.

Great video! When we camp with family our tradition has become to make food the event. Big breakfast, big lunch, big dinner. It helps ground the day, and sets a schedule. Wake up, make breakfast, eat, clean up. Couple hours pass. Prep lunch, cook, eat, clean up. Couple hours pass. Prep dinner, cook, eat, clean up. Then by this point you're getting the fire going, and the day is waning. So if you find your time is loose, consider packing in some proper recipes that take some time. I love cooking enough as it is, but cooking outside just hits differently, especially if you're cooking for others too. And to me camping is about connection, and that includes connecting with your food. So leave your comfort zone, if you aren't much of a cook, and try something new.

Thank you for the video. It really covered the quiet that can be found camping. People don’t understand why I solo camp because they think something must be happening all of the time. Cheers and safe travels

I never knew it was possible to be bored while camping! 🤔

I've never been camping hoping I do one day. But you see that lake behind you I would never be bored while I have a rod in my hands.

Well said Very good pointers Love your advise Thank you

That's great advice I love solo camping just to get away from everything the natural sound and sight of being at camp

Great tips 👍🏿

Excellent video, very informative , thanks 👍🇦🇺

I like to have a practice of stopping every so often, no matter what im doing, just stop, listen and breath in through the nose deep breaths. Biggest things at your advantage are you're senses! Just stumbled upon your channel with the go bag video, watched this one as well, about to watch some more! Super awesome channel!!!!

I will say these are very good tips, but all I can think of is how paranoid Americans are compared to other places. A lot of Americans just assume everyone is out to get them or malicious. Maybe things are different down there and that’s reality. In Canada, a lot of these things would never be a concern. Obviously common sense takes precedent though, but it is interest to see our cultural differences

If you're THAT concerned....just stay home!

Loved watching you cook. First time viewing your channel from North Carolina.

Please pick up a table cloth for the picnic table 😅

Aw what a nice video. Almost feels like I was there with y’all. l’ll bring the dessert next time 🤭

Breakfast tastes better when camping vs in your own kitchen. By the way, real butter is healthier than that synthetic fake stuff. Thanks for the video from New England!

Sending love to you two from Banff, Canada.

Good bits of advice. What do you think about using a gun with blanks to scare eventual intruders or wild animals? Hope that noise will scare them off.

I Cary I'm a single person always

Excellent! Thanks! I've never camped before but I want to and I don't know what to expect of wild animals or bad humans..

I always carry a gun, a knife, a couple of cans of bear-spray, always tell trusted loved-ones exactly where you are camping. I agree with this young man, trust your gut feelings! If you see beer cans, alcohol bottles, needles, things of that nature, leave immediately. Never camp alone, it's sort of boring. I always bring my dog, since my dog is my best friend. The extra tent is good too, or use the tent to store things, sleep in your truck or van for security. Always have escape routes. Stand your ground, don't take crap, don't act weak.

God is in charge

I prefer charcoal vs gas! Does anybody else agree?

New subscriber here i luv your vibe

I've been watching Camp safety videos for hours now and I can't believe not a single person suggested the $5 perimeter alarm. Cheap fishing line and some craft shop bells. Only good for light sleepers though I guess.😅
