[@1markymark1]

He has a great site, waiting on my second order to show up. Thanks for the discount !!

[@MotoCampNerd]

It's almost there! Thank you for the orders!

NGL this vid is cool af

[@gregdale9156]

Just shared the link to this video on a FaceBook motorcycle camping page. Thanks for responding to a question I had earlier on a different topic.

[@DorkintheRoad]

I appreciate the share!

[@Real_shai_47]

Keep up the good work man

[@DorkintheRoad]

Thanks! I will try!

[@KLRmurdercycle]

Neato web site. I need that tent. For a 9 year old Eureka tent, it's held up great but that Snugle bug is tiny😍 Smaller or smarter pots are needed too. It's looking like this year is a write off too, but a couple camo tarps will come in handy. Hide in plain sight😎

[@DorkintheRoad]

I really like that it's not some super bright color. Easier to blend in

[@dhoov4452]

Nice save on the pot, had to subscribe after that!!!

[@marcoluoma3770]

I like your videos so much, I even watched this one and I don’t camp. Don’t get me wrong, I like the *idea* of camping, I just don’t like actual camping, including losing an hour in the morning and afternoon. At the end of a long day I love a warm soft bed, and a sandwich and cold beer at the bar next door. To each our own.

[@DorkintheRoad]

I appreciate your loyalty! 😁

[@tinmisuun]

Nice! Love that camping website. Also that bowl trick you did was technical!

[@DorkintheRoad]

SO technical 😁

[@fortheloveofknobs]

YAY! MOTOCAMPING!!!

Gotta love it.

[@DorkintheRoad]

I'm eager to get out and test it

[@DRAGONRIDER385]

Thank you for the video. I enjoy moto camping. Sometimes it is hard to find the small and good things. So i say thanks for the info, i will check them out.

[@DorkintheRoad]

Thanks for watching!

[@junixsk8]

That's great! Im actually really surprised about that silicone pan👌 I've never seen anything like that!

[@garageliving3658]

Will the sawer squeeze or sawer mini screw onto the waterbag? Thatd be pretty nice

[@DorkintheRoad]

Opening is too big, unfortunately. That would be pretty sweet

[@bradboustead1682]

In your "new person with no gear & $500 budget scenario", I would get a cheaper 2-person tent, an LED headlamp, take silverware from home, 2 cans of fuel for the stove, folding camp saw, plastic to put under tent, dry bag (which you already have), and ....can of Yard Guard insect repellent. 😁

[@Chris-ue9tx]

Seems like this kit function isn’t available on their site anymore? There’s small kitchen and sleeping kits, but I’m not seeing this more comprehensive kit for $500

[@GwenMotoGirl]

Awesome. I just subscribed to Moto Camp Nerd yesterday (thanks to As the Magpie Flies) and I’m already enjoying the gear demo videos. Thanks for doing this! I need a few things to round out my gear setup.

[@DorkintheRoad]

Thanks for watching!

[@dlrmon1]

FYI...I have both the Snugpak Ionosphere and Scorpion II tents. Packed down the Scorpion II is not much larger...Setup the Scorpion is much larger and more comfortable. I also use Snugpak sleeping bags and found the Basecamp 32 degree and Jungle bag combo good for our colder months here in the PNW. In snowy conditions I use a Snugpak Elite 5 (5 Degree bag)...Might also recommended a Hammock setup if space or weight is an issue. Also a good tarp is helpful with our weather...

[@MotoCampNerd]

How do you like the Scorpion 2? We were thinking about adding it to our store but see a lot of mixed reviews for the price.

[@dlrmon1]

My favorite shelter item for compact use...not sure about the price. It was about $200. when I purchased it. On season 3 and it still looks new. Good quality...

[@dlrmon1]

And I have accumulated a large collection of shelter systems looking for my favorite gear...

[@drseanlewis3173]

Youre a legend dude dork...much appreciated

[@Crittermoto]

Great stuff, great guy, great site. Wish I had of found him earlier. You’re gunna love that stuff! On a side note: I like this camera angle.....I can see my sticker 😜👍🏻

[@motopixels956]

Sick resource! Definitely about to use this to order! Thank you.

[@Liberty4Ever]

MotoCampNerd has added a lot of cool stuff since I had last looked. The pillow and cook set look almost magical. I've long been an ultralight camper, but I'm now way behind the technology curve. Thanks for the video. I'll spend a lot of time on their site, and based on what I saw in this video, I'll probably spend a lot of money, too. 😀 I look forward to your motocamping review video of your $500 gear.

[@tennyis28]

Great video! Suggestions for things u might have want to make it more comfy, plate, chair, decent knife (mora companion), flask, first aid kit, power bank, cutting board, frying pan, cooler(polar bear) spatula and fuel for that stove. Cant wait to see your motocamping videos

[@DorkintheRoad]

Excellent suggestions

[@MotoCampNerd]

Great suggestions! We are looking at adding all of those to the store in the near future.

[@tennyis28]

@@MotoCampNerd you should see if you can get the Polar bear coolers, they are amazing! Not cheap but they are perfect for motocamping. THey have tie down points, water proof, ice stays for a very long time, etc.

[@MotoCampNerd]

@@tennyis28 Thanks for the suggestion! We will put it on our shopping list. We are actually looking for a good soft sided cooler that could pack small but works well at camp.

[@tennyis28]

@@MotoCampNerd because of the amount of insulation it doesn't pack small, but with the tie down straps its easy to find a spot for it. It has worked very well for me, i've never cared about pack size because I always have it full :) great for day trips too!

[@TurboPelican]

Need a Dork camp chair. Nice video.

[@adventuremulemoto]

Excellent video.

[@DorkintheRoad]

Thank you very much!

[@JessieGyrl7]

Is the beginner kit tool still available? I do not see it.

[@TheHoovercm]

Thanks, very helpful! You mentioned a giant loop bag that you put it all in? Seems like an awful big bag! Do you just strap that on the back of your DRZ? I’d like to see what that looks like, trying to picture that.

[@DorkintheRoad]

I haven't motocamped off of the DRZ yet, but the Tillamook bag fits on the rear rack of my Africa Twin pretty well. I'd probably go with a Coyote bag from Giant Loop for the DRZ.

[@TheHoovercm]

@@DorkintheRoad great thanks! Looking for something that would work on the 250L, so I’ll take a look at that.

[@DorkintheRoad]

It's a great setup. If you buy from GL's site don't forget to use my discount code to save ten percent

[@larrypahl5756]

Thanx again.

[@davidhanger5795]

19 degree sleeping bag is that rating for survival or comfort? I'm definitely going to check out the site.

[@DorkintheRoad]

Survival, but it rarely gets below 30 or so around here so I think it'll be fine

[@davidhanger5795]

@@DorkintheRoad I have a Kelty bag survival rates at zero but sometimes I still get a bit cold during winter when it hits the 20s & 30s. Of course the SnugPak likely better quality.

[@MotoCampNerd]

@@davidhanger5795 Per Snugpak and their "testing" 19F is where their test subjects were warm and comfortable. 14F is the low limit where their subjects began to feel cold. As we all do more tests we will report back the accuracy. So far 30F was really warm.

[@davidhanger5795]

@@MotoCampNerd thanks for the info.

[@DorkintheRoad]

I tested it at 34 or so already and it was really good.

Do you carry anything for defense when you ride? Carry gun, bear mace, knife?

[@DorkintheRoad]

I carry a P938 in the woods usually, but motocamp nerd doesn't sell those

We are tenkara fans, so in the future you can expect to see some fishing gear hitting the store😁 Also looking for more drinking vessels, for whatever your preferred campfire beverage is.

[@dring83]

and all there sleeping matts are super expensive i doubt you could keep it under $500 now.. sad but that is the way the times are

[@PracticalTacticalSheepDog]

Thermarest Z Lite is a way better and more economical mat than any of those...... I realize your helping out those who sponsor you but there are much better choices of gear available for much less money.

[@DorkintheRoad]

Lots of other options out there for sure. I'm a side sleeper so I need a thicker mat if I can find one. The snugpak is about the same price as the other quality options I've tried, and it comes with the built in pump, which is kinda unique. I envy people that can get by with thinner pads.

[@tennyis28]

Z lite is absolute garbage, worst mat I ever owned, gave it to a buddy who sleeps on his back and weighs 75lbs less and he didn’t mind it but preferred his Teton pad from Amazon

[@PracticalTacticalSheepDog]

@@DorkintheRoad I use a sleep pad less for comfort and more for warmth. I usually camp exclusively in sub freezing temperatures and I find the inflatable pads just don't insulate as well.

[@PracticalTacticalSheepDog]

@@tennyis28 sound's like your needs differ greatly from mine. I use a pad for warmth not comfort.

[@tennyis28]

@@PracticalTacticalSheepDog I think you will find your needs differ from 99% of people motocamping

Now ya just need a couple grand for panniers and bags lol. Can ya tell I’m annoyed how over priced all this stuff is ?

[@Tactical2Wheels]

I know this comment is coming 8 months later, but Depending on what bike you have dirtracks has some great deals on pannier racks for hard or soft. Get you a pair of the large apache cases from Harbor Freight and you're set. Or do what I did and get a set of surplus 20mm ammo cans. Little heavier, but they did survive a crash a few months ago

[@JakeAikens]
