[@GeraldGarcia]

Freddie has no pretenses, practical and minimalist even. No insecurities and needs to compensate with his car. Resisting upgrading his bike to the latest and greatest every 6 months. Truly refreshing person, and content. That's why I've stuck around since the beginning.

[@johnminter732]

We just have to see more of Monica in future, the two of you together are absolutely hilarious.

[@SUVRVing]

"No no, I can get some hay. Pick up some hay... somewhere." Lol!

[@welshhobbit4092]

Monika is definitely the brains of the operation 😂 You're worried about not liking camping, well the things that will put you off is definitely the cold and being uncomfortable. Get the best sleeping bag you can and a mattress. These two are a must for enjoying camping. Tent wise, get the 2 second pop up. It will be a godsend when you rock up to the camp site cold and tired and its about to rain. It is also a blackout tent. Great for not being woken at silly o clock by daylight, and keeps you cooler in the sun, win win. More of Monika please. Its like watching a Frank Spencer episode 😂❤

[@110adventures7]

Freddie seriously spend another £20 and get a self inflating mattress. After a day's riding with a loaded bike you owe it to yourself to get a decent night's sleep. A mattress will isolate you from the ground the biggest heat dump, it sucks the body heat away quickly and will make the night uncomfortable. I have a decathlon one it was about £20 and folds down into a sack about the size of a thermos. Buy it and thank me later 😆 🤣

[@stephenmundane]

This 100%

[@ianbaines9705]

Freddie - do this, without a mattress you are inviting an uncomfortable cold night whatever the weather.

[@brb653]

I second this. Would probably spend even more on a good mattress.

[@2uptoSomewhere]

Second this 👍🏼

[@AGW1983]

excellent advice

[@FairWeatherMotorcyclist]

Freddie, I honestly just don't what to say 🤪 and Monica, only angels have that much patience and tolerance. Freddie is a lucky man/boy..😊

👏👏👏

[@jingman76]

This is a perfect example why it is so funny watching you. Totally excited and obsessed with a tent. Freddie at his best 😂😂

[@budekins7779]

Frank and Betty go camping...priceless😂...

[@PhilONeill]

You both had me in stitches there. Book an air bnb with a small garden so Monika has comfort and you have somewhere to pee in the morning and a warm up.

[@nickcutler7759]

Freddie goes Moto camping, Monica drives support Fiat 500 with all the gear in it 😁👍

[@Cantsmilewithoutyou]

I don’t often watch your videos for the comedy but this was hilarious. “This is the future of camping, oxygen”. Had me in stitches.

[@user-hx2mt5bg7e]

Freddie you are priceless. You clearly have a problem remembering even the most basic facts and seem to have no grasp of what happened when and where. The camping is going to end in tears. Not yours but ours laughing all the way. Monica, you are a Saint!

[@luddite6239]

Hmmm... Ralph Loren jacket, light trousers and soft shoes - I hope Freddie's preparation for camping is better than his preparation for car washing!

[@kimjensen7607]

No it wasn't. It was just as bad.

[@alexanderedwards6811]

to be fair knowing Freddie he'll still get it done, and in style!

[@plandovanje]

I'm literally lying down and rolling with laughter. what an episode! love u guys!

[@gayang2531]

Love Monica's giggle behind the camera...😂😂😂❤❤❤

[@nickduffy8482]

That was just the most hilarious episode ever! You two are a fabulous couple and you know how to celebrate your differences, which is the basis for a successful long term relationship. Can’t wait to see the final setup. At one point, we had gone from the ‘Wingman’ tarp to an eight person glamping condominium with AC and full Dining Room facilities. Love it!

[@chachacharw5224]

Please do more shopping vlogs together this was hilarious 😂

[@nickough]

A high quality mountain/hiking air mattress is essential to actually get some sleep- and takes up next to no space. 👍👍

[@rob2475]

Ah, good to see the dynamic duo back in action. Great fun 😂

[@allanhughes7859]

Let me tell you this young sir 1 make sure you have a camp bed you will never ever look back . 2 make sure you get a good sleeping bag 3 a small camping chair is a must 4 a good compact cooker is also a must The rest does not really matter !!

[@adamcichy4887]

Freddie you should get a thin foam mat at the very least; not so much for comfort but as an insulator from the cold gorund. Nothing worse than staying awake due to coldness getting to your bones. Belive me I know.

[@howardrathbone2120]

We toured Europe in the late 80’s, tent, 2 x sleeping bags, and a double mattress strapped to the rack with a bin bag bungied over the top! No issues and lived the dream! Wth new tents I would go with a blow up tent and connect the compressor to the bike!

[@cliveburks]

Don’t forget when it rains it can be depressing in a tent on a campsite!

[@mgb311]

Having a tent you can stand up in is an absolute game changer!

[@nigeloscarmarsden]

Freddie highlighting how the struggle is real trying to buy that tent.

[@paulhaskin73]

I’m half way through the episode, Don’t do it Freddie, I’ve been there…Airbnb all day!!!

[@OhoaryRev]

Freddie, my wife and I have been following your vlog for a year or so and as a long term biker and camper (getting a bit long in the tooth for it now at 69 much prefer a bed) but for those occasions when needs must take it from me a Thermo Rest camping mat is a must. If you don’t get one it will be a one time experience you will be cold and aching in the morning but with the thermo-rest you will be champing at the bit for your next weekend rally. Ps it rolls up nice and tight to pack on the bike nice and tidy

[@alexmorgan3435]

A rattle ................ and running sweet as a nut. What could possibly go wrong?

[@FreddieDobbs]

I really should get the rattle sorted soon👨‍🔧

[@alexmorgan3435]

@@FreddieDobbs You should. A stitch in time saves 9. You don't want the same happening to your Fiat that you let happen to your Bonneville. Does Joe repair cars as well?

[@peter236uk1]

Monica is getting cheeky lol she is very funny keeping you in check 😂

[@lovekylie4482]

Comedy gold this! All I was waiting for was you trying to hook up a trailer tent to the Triumph! Thank you both genuinely the charm, the energy, the enthusiasm and of course the entertainment. 😘😘

[@GrooveTasticThang]

Comedy gold. Man maths meet reality. Priceless! Take the fiat and tow the bike, lots of comfort!

[@irvb9881]

One of my favourite videos - and not a motorcycle to be seen, We've all been there - a shopping trip escalating 😆

[@RoyalEnfieldfahrer]

Freddie, knowing how unskilled you are at doing things, ask the couple at On The Road Adventure for advice: they have become masters of motorbike camping. You Brits could also meet in England and maybe even camp together.

[@RiseHigh]

For moto camping trip, if the riding is exhausting, you can definitly benefit from a luxurious and spacious setup. If you plan the route and choose the bike so the riding is easy and enjoyable then being light and free is the luxury.

[@shawnmathai5477]

I haven't laughed this much at one of uour videos 😂😂😂 you remind me of myself when I get all excited about motorcycles and camping!

[@twizzian]

Don’t forget the little camp stove for your morning coffee

[@neilurquhart8622]

And coffee beans plus a grinder!

[@alexsene2921]

I have this exact big tent, as does my mate, for going to festivals. I’ve put it up in my own no problem (if you know the basics of putting tents up). Fairly easy to pack away on your own. It’s a quality tent mate, you won’t regret it!

[@RyanFlee]

Without a proper matress, you will hate camping! A matress is a must! And you should also take a pillow. If you shop decathlon, I'd suggest the Quechua Air Comfort. Not packing too small, yes, but small enough. It's semi-self-inflating (the rest is easily done by lung), so no need for a pump, and it's ridiculus how much more comfortable sleeping gets! Get it now, thank me later! ;)

[@maskedavenger2578]

You forgot a Trangia camping stove & cook set ,camping knife fork & spoon , to cook evening scran & full English breakfast . A good rechargeable torch come tent lamp is also handy ,for checking over bike in dark & lighting in tent .

[@neilurquhart8622]

“Checking over bike in the dark”…….really, he doesn’t even check it in daylight!!

[@maskedavenger2578]

@@neilurquhart8622Come to think of it , you have a good point there , judging by the state his Triumph was allowed to get into .

[@volt8684]

This definately has got a voice over Mr Bean element, was killing myself laughing

[@sethruter]

"A bit more" 😂 That made me laugh, love these everyday clips or you two. Bless your heart Monika, you're an awesome lady, my wife points out things I may have missed too 😂 She's the organizer, and Im the cleaner. That's an awesome woman Freddie. Would love to see more of these type of vids, made me and wife laugh alot! 🤙 Cheers from the U.S.

[@Eyegazersphoto]

This is so funny! Great entertainment. However Freddie doesn’t seem to know too much about camping considerations. The Wingman probably spoilt him a bit. Decathlon is great value for money and there is nothing wrong with their gear, but it is built to a price. For Freddie, chat to wingman and get them to sponsor your resupply 😂 - it fits with your style. “I don’t need to get hiking gear”- standing by the rock climbing gear 😂

[@frogbiscuits4414]

This is hilarious 🤣 you should have your good lady on here more often. The dynamic between you two is so funny ..... It's like she's minding a child,😂😂...love it🫡🫡

[@nockianlifter661]

You will need a camping mat at a minimum and don’t forget a mallet because the ground is often so hard you can’t push pegs in by hand.

[@ahamedrizny3862]

This is one of the best and most humorous videos ever! I was also so impressed with the pristine condition of your complete outfit while washing and even after. What a professional way to wash a car!

[@sanatandharma4435]

Brilliant! Love the enthusiasm, then the back to reality! I cycle tour and carry a tent (one man) a sleeping bag, a thin blow up mattress (that I slide off) A blow up pillow, numerous camping gas cartridges, a stove, all my utensils, clothing, towels, matches, and swim gear. The bike does become very heavy, but I am self sufficient! A camping/yoga style mat will be needed Freddie as the earth sucks the heat from your back and you wake up very stiff! Camping is spoiled due to a poor nights sleep and if you are riding your bonnie you will need concentration! Buy a foam mat as a minimum! Great video by rhe way. xx

[@Moranah]

Please do get an inflatable matress (self inflating perhaps, to save you from having to carry around a pump as well) so you don't wake up in the morning on the cold ground with a stiff neck and locked up shoulder. Also an inflatable pillow or something. Not for luxury, but just to give a small chance to you actually somewhat enjoying the experience of camping. 😂

[@Wowserrr]

Hilarious videos. Thanks for the smiles.

[@skotty1962]

Rather have a nice AirB&B myself or a cabin but I love your boyish enthusiasm. Nice to see you Monica. Interested to see how you pack the bike. 🤔

[@allansr100]

Sooperb ! ( good also to get a glimpse of Monica) 👍

[@andrewhayes4246]

Monica is always right Freddie, you should listen to her! 😂😂😂

[@user-kq9ez8lg4m]

Monica has the patience of a saint.

[@user-hv8fm2vg8p]

I had such a good laugh along with you guys. Great video, enjoy the camping!

[@Baloski46]

Good luck, less is more, you'll love it!

[@nohedes]

‘They were both smiling’ I’m crying 😂😂😂

[@matthewhunt9887]

What has the world come to. Ive just watched a man clean a car and then go shopping around decathlon... loved every minute 😂 keep up the good work Freddie!!

[@frankfeely9235]

I have committed to Moto camping for 6 nights (Manx GP) for the first time in my life this year, and I'm 69, luckily a friend is loaning me a small tent, I don't expect to like it so your video resonates with me, I'm with Monica, glamping is the lowest form of camping I could really enjoy. It was hilarious watching the cost , size and weight of the gear rapidly ramping up. You two are a great team.

[@haydnholt8222]

Freddie you absolutely have to include an inflatable sleeping pad and pillow. Together they pack down smaller than a water bottle and for the price of $50 and 6 breaths to inflate them, you can sleep just as well as you do at home. Really hoping you and Monica start to enjoy camping, it’s my favorite thing to do with my Triumph Street Scrambler! Cheers

[@mikkeln85]

Love the honesty in your videos - it always makes it all much more joyus, that you dont follow a written script, and dont cut everything out that doesnt go to plan. I really love your channel and watch all your videos. And no doubt that this one was not to be soon forgotten. :D Thank you both - and good luck on your new camping indentities ;) PS get that sleeping mattres before going anywhere with tent!

[@BuffaloweRider]

Small and simple. On a motorcycle for sure. A fair size water proof tarp, some rope and imagination.....packs small and sets up anyplace with some trees around. Kick the picnic table underneath and bam, outdoor kitchen and dining/entertainment area unlocked. Of course in really bad weather it's going to need to be set up as a leen but don't forget about having a few stakes on hand as well. Then a small tent is simply the sleeping quarters.

[@allanhughes7859]

As always Monica talks so so so much sense TIME TO LISTEN FREDDIE ! Smaller tent me thinks and you can get very compact chairs these days all will fit the bike ??

[@salesassistant3019]

For those who would prefer to hire camping kit we do quite a descent range of lightweight and compact tents sleeping bags and mats

[@mauriceb.5318]

The hardest part is getting the things back into their containers as compact as they were when they were sold :)

[@alpen4921]

Did anyone get reminded of mr bean seeing Freddie clime in and out of those tents? Can’t wait for the camping trip. One, if not the, funniest Freddie videos I’ve seen.

[@a13bkd62]

What a very enjoyable episode, loving the on-the-hoof research aspect of your shopping trip 🤣. It's your eye-widening enthusiasm Freddy that is so endearing - 'do you wanna have a think about it...no ! Monika, wishing you good luck👍

[@josephdonzanti7966]

Thanks!

[@barrywalle9207]

Monika is right as usual. Do get a self inflating mattress with a decent amount of insulation. The cold that comes up from the ground will get you in the early hours of the morning! And have you sorted your morning coffee? 🙂

[@stewartallan1440]

It's a good thing you aren't impulsive....this cracked me up

[@grahamallen6205]

Freddie, Freddie, Freddie; going camping once, to see if you actually like camping or not, without an inflatable mattress, will ensure that you decide that you don’t like camping! 😂 My wife and I have just watched the video together and we were roaring with laughter (with you, not at you of course!) and we can’t wait to see how you get on in your little tent. Best of luck to you and I hope you’re warm enough- it’s bloody freezing for June!

[@andrewhayes4246]

Its your car Freddie, of course it rattles! Sell it while it goes, not when it stops.

[@lesterhall5310]

Fantastic, very funny and entertaining. You two are a great double act, when even a mundane shopping trip can give so much entertainment pleasure you really have something special. It just keeps getting better, well don guys.

[@oliverwhitby4778]

Best video i have seen for ages - hilarious

[@mr5410]

Watching this a 2nd time....tent size rules...get a tent that is 2x the number of people that are actually going to be sleeping in it...1person =2-3 person tent.....2 people = 4-5 person tent...

[@martinsirotek8964]

I couldn’t stop laughing!!! You 2 are amazing! Always the same when visiting Decatlon

[@stevecampeau2415]

As a Biker and owner of a Campsite I can give you my perspective on Bike Camping. Travel light and use the smallest tent you can cope with. Easier to put up and take down on a daily/travelling basis. You'll get cheaper last minute deals and better scope for pitch availability (if you call a Campsite and ask if they've got room for a Motorcycle and a one man tent they're likely to say yes).

[@gerrymcivor374]

"Do you want to have a think about it?" "No!" Smaller lightweight seats are available, I got mine from Lidl. Don't forget a stove.

[@gpmotoadventures]

Totally can relate. Had the same dilemma when my wife and I were at Decathlon. Finally bought a small and practical setup. Used it 4 times in 3 years. Worth it.

[@arceyes]

Loved seeing your tent shopping 😁 my small tent, easy to put up fits in one pannier with my sleeping bag. It's the times you arrive in the rain and have to put it up that makes you look for simplicity and speed. Can't wait to see the next video...

[@user-ld3ur9cp8c]

I just went motocamping for the first time on my Royal Enfield Interceptor a couple of weekends ago! I have small saddle bags on the bike, but I packed all of my camping gear into a 30L duffel bag that I strapped behind me. This included a small tent, camping blanket, camping pad (much more compact than air mattress!), stove, food, clothes etc. I didn't have a chair but all my other basic needs were met. I highly recommend looking at camp blankets, inflatable pads etc vs traditional bulky camping gear. Very cheap and laughably small/light. Either way, this was a very entertaining video and best of luck with camping to you both!

[@MrDesmonick]

Ah Freddie, you really do dive in without asking anyone! You definitely need a sleeping mat. Self inflating ones are good, and not expensive. Folding chairs are much smaller than that one. And you'll need a stove for a morning brew and breakfast! I've been motorcycle camping all over Europe for the last 35 years, and have tried and tested a lot of kit 👍

[@urchin259]

The interior of that Fiat car looks so clean and elegant.

[@daver3110]

Surprised you didn't go for a wingman of the road double tent. Has a mattress installed already. And a handy bike cover 👍🏼
