Been watching since the 1000 sub update. This channel rocks!!!

[@FridaysTheBomb]

Thanks man, I love hearing from the original viewers!

[@SuburbanDelinquent]

I support. Keep it up!

[@FridaysTheBomb]

Thanks man!

[@MarkB-qx9uu]

SUB D knows what's up! So rad. Love to see a nice long video FTB! Keep it up brother!

[@stevenmack1774]

I think Sub D and Friday’s the Bomb need to do a little Motovlog camp trip, help get FTB some more Subs, also would make some Rad content!!

[@Hammer-jt6bz]

one thing you can do to keep food cold longer is make a pouch out of that bubble wrap with aluminium foil on both sides. works like a cooler and does take up much space. either that or buy one of those insulated shopping bags. Or a soft sided lunch cooler.

[@FridaysTheBomb]

Oh I might actually do this next time. I need something compact/flat

[@DustySquitoNM]

I like the idea that people can support their favorite creators directly instead of just hoping that they get enough ad revenue. I think it would be really cool to see you get enough support through patreon that you could start to do a lot of camping gear testing. I hate camping review channels were they only test things in their backyard and never actually try them out in the real world.

[@FridaysTheBomb]

Yeah, I want to get some decent tents and hammocks, try them out in a video, then pack them up and give them away. Each video could be all new gear, if I get enough support.

[@DustySquitoNM]

@@FridaysTheBomb If you wind up getting enough support, it'd be super cool to see a video with that wacky ass tent with the motorcycle garage vestibule. It seems purpose built for the 1200GS crowd, but I think your XR650 would look good there too.

[@BrokenEnduro]

Still turning out the best on KZbin! Thanks brother!

[@ArizonaAdv]

Hey you know those little frozen ice packs if you half freeze your steak then wrap it put 2 of those frozen packs on each side of the steak that will keep your steak cold for hours. Works good .And it takes up no room in the bag .""RIDE ON""

[@scottbluhm9301]

Or you could freeze a water bottle and keep it with the steak - then you'd have more cold water to drink in the desert as it thawed and it would keep your steak cooler!

[@ArizonaAdv]

@@scottbluhm9301 That works to. Ride On.

[@ridgetop8161]

@@scottbluhm9301 , I like this idea. Extra water is always a good thing.

[@josecanedo007]

Fantastic moment, it makes my mind travel , keep those videos comming

[@Crittermoto]

Enjoyed hanging out with ya for the last 43min 👍

[@Toad_Moto]

This is what I'm aspiring to do.

[@FridaysTheBomb]

Goodluck, and be safe out there! Always tell someone where you plan to go.

[@garrettsmith8286]

"When I was a kid I never thought I'd get this excited for vegetables!" lmao ditto +1 on the tent, Same as mine! Merry Mayxmas back at ya...

[@alloutmma1]

Nice work ....adventure....whatever you call it I Love it man. Please keep up the awesome experiences & insight.

[@noyopacific]

The "rant" about your approach to fire building and technique was a classic! It's great to hear you are making a trip to Moab with TDubbs and Dakota! Looking forward to videos of it.

[@jcb0249]

Good video duder! I'm having to take rides vicariously through others for a bit. So thanks for bringing us along. Good move on the cutting board (your blades will thank you), red meat on it is fine. After normal washing just hit it with sanitizer solution (1 tbsp unscented bleach to a gallon of water) in a spray bottle and let it air dry to take care of any nasties that may be there. Those veggies look Awesome btw.

[@Currly747]

RIP that poor lizard at 7:19

[@markcollins5026]

It's a dry heat !

[@TheWillsulla]

Great content! Love the shirt I bought, BTW. Money well spent. Keep up the good work.

[@vxnova1]

Steak whiskey and sunset, I had to subscribe

[@yogyogstan]

My thoughts exactly 👍

[@Nostrildomus]

It's good balance that keeps your channel popular . Nineteen inch radial front and hall ass into higher elevations in summer . Thanks

[@ADVNevada]

Nice. Looks like an awesome area!

[@MeetMeOutside]

Good stuff man ! Steak looked fantastic ! I have the same tent, it’s perfect for me for canoe camping . Plenty of room , in case I get caught in a rain storm. Peace ✌️

[@AstheMagpieFlies]

I will forever be a sucker for those cinematic intros man. Well done for launching your Patreon! New gear is a good thing :) Testing new things brings a different kind of excitement to trips! I've been struggling to get through Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance for like 3 years XD I'll start it and get bored and put it down, then I'll pick it back up, flip back until I remember what I was reading then read a little bit more then put it down lol Then I got it on audible thinking the audio version would go smoother, I def got farther, but I just.... every time he talks about Phaedrus it completely looses my attention. I love the way he talks about motorcycles, all that bit is great, but ya lol One day I'll reach the end it's just a process lol

[@FridaysTheBomb]

Yeah the Phaedrus thing was driving me nuts until he reveals who Phadrus is. That sort of got me reinvested in it. That being said, I havent touched the book since this camping trip lol.

[@AstheMagpieFlies]

@@FridaysTheBomb I think after he reveals who Phaedrus was it made it worse for me XD

[@FridaysTheBomb]

@@AstheMagpieFlies lol well I'll report back once I pick it up again

[@BJJNINJA215]

I thoroughly enjoy your videos and I love your laid-back style😎

[@garrettsmith8286]

Maybe 1 day you should just go camping to relax and not worry about filming. I need to get out & go myself!

[@RandyFarnes]

Count me in.

[@Batarnak.]

Awesome video like always , keep it up ! You inspired me to do the same with my KLR650 😁 Love your videos !🍁

[@David-zh7zn]

Awesome awesome vid bro 👍🏼

[@AZ762SHOOTER]

Have you ever thought about the kofa refuge near Yuma. It's an awesome place. I would suggest winter tho and packing gas. There's no cell signal and enough roads to run out of fuel...

[@cameronlaw8161]

like your camping vids, you could boil green beans or other veges that take longer ,the wetness when in foil will steam them,i just take veges that can be eaten raw/or min cooking red/spring onions, capsicum,celery.mushrooms with meat and bourbon/red wine i really did like the place you visit vids to,like that building in desert that looked deserted, then camping ,still waiting for the catch and cook,dont think ive seen a squirrel catch and cook, and we can get your T shirts to New Zealand now great news

[@paintup46]

Damn, just found your channel. I’m out that way, in Buckeye actually. Look forward to more videos, subscribed.

[@9ilest]

You were talking about making fires so much it went out :D

[@brianhebert347]

Looking forward to the new videos. I'll support too. Definitely worth it!

[@FridaysTheBomb]

Thanks man! Hopefully we can get the point where I'm able to get stuff and give it away to you guys.

[@MotoDocADV]

Love the Harquahala area and Eagle Tail Mtx. Lots of sand to push through. This May has been an amazing change in weather. I ride a KTM 1090 out here in tue desert and love camping. Nice channel.

[@76bradwatto]

Love the area where you camp! I do enjoy your videos. I love the intros. Maybe a drone would be a great way to break up the video with some aerial footage of areas you visit. A hero may be cheaper avenue than a drone. Just saying I’m getting a bit dizzy and the helmet cam seams to be getting used to much. Keep up the good work and ride safe

[@cazgerald9471]

A tarp or something to provide shade would have been nice. Is there any danger of a wildfire there?

[@byknphil]

Your videos help to get my Sunday going. Keep it up man.

[@CoolEyeColorado]

Awesome vid and such cool adventures

[@flush_entity]

COOKIN SOUL'S BEAT TOO!!!

[@dboutdoors6180]

Downloaded on my birth day and I own a XR650L!!!!!!!!

[@gater308]

I totally agree with your choice of Bourbon. I left Elijah and have been enjoying Oak and Eden. I have to ask where in the world did you get your flask? That is perfect with the spout offset. Awesome video my man. Excellent intro and if I may reduce the length of Black after the intro when you smooth into the main feature. Also extend the drop off of the intro music further into the black. Just some constructive hints.

[@FridaysTheBomb]

The flask I use is a Stanley, though I may change it up because I've made my own flasks now.

[@stevemathison6385]

Bought a bottle of Elijah Craig after seeing your instagram post. It is a really nice bourbon, will buy again. Thanks. Love the chill videos. Backed you as well. Great job.

[@FridaysTheBomb]

Thanks man, I really appreciate it.

[@daxmonster3429]

Have you considered going west and camping in the California mountains? You aren't that far and there isn't going to be the typical traffic going up to flagstaff.

[@itsallabouttheridekeepingi4449]

That fire is WAY to close to your tent mate , just some friendly advice from an Aussie that was brought up in the Australian outback, and had my fair share on camp fires .

[@FridaysTheBomb]

I just keep them small

[@denniswalker9738]

Agreed great whiskey!

[@twinphill900]

I know you said you don't really care. A wooden cutting board is the best option for cutting meat.

[@FridaysTheBomb]

For some reason I thought I had heard that juices can soak into it and become a bacteria problem.

[@MikeDonner]

You do realize you're in the Arizona desert during the summer wearing a black t-shirt, and you don't even have a hat on. Yeah, of course it's brutal. Take a look at the landscapers and road workers in Phoenix if you want an idea of how to dress when exposed to the sun. I wish you luck, I'm not a vlog fan or a motorcycle rider but I subscribed. I like the camping and dirt, and to see what others do and where they go in Arizona.

[@dwliechty]

Ice mule cooler might do you right

[@RandyFarnes]

Cheers! I enjoyed this video along with a bourbon out of Reno, NV called Branded Heart. Nice work getting another one out. I've posted another one if you're interested in checking it out. See you on the trails!

[@RandyFarnes]

Oh hey, I've uploaded another video to my channel. I don't want to hijack your thread, so I won't link to it here, but please check it when you have time.

[@RandyFarnes]

And thanks for the shirt! Received it today.

[@MotoGiant]

at what point in the year do you STOP camping in the AZ desert?

[@FridaysTheBomb]

Lol as soon as it reaches 85 degrees

[@MotoGiant]

@@FridaysTheBomb Good to know you are not totally nuts, I always wonder about people that enjoy desert in summer? How they deal with heat - etc. Pretty sure I would spend my summer at altitude if camping, hard to imagine the heat?

[@FridaysTheBomb]

@@MotoGiant The worst thing is just the sun exposure. A well ventilated shady area inst that bad, but there really isn't any natural shade to speak of.

I do about 65 on the highway, maybe 70. Any faster than that, and the wind is too disruptive and the bike is unstable.

Another great video, brother! Would love to do a collab camping video with you sometime. Cigars and steak B-) On my ghost town tour wuth azdesertdog we used some creative ways to capture the audio for our dual vlogs and shared footage from each other's cameras. Hit me up on my email if you'd like some tips on that. I always look at fire building as a sort of Zen thing. I learned a long time ago how to build a fire with wet wood and other basic bushcraft skills. Nowadays I try and build a fire a different way each time just for the challenge. Look up one stick fire to see what I mean. KZbinr Unroof does some way cool motocamping, if you're looking for another. I had relocated to the east coast for 5 months and couldn't make videos, but I'll be back in the swing of things again soon, sorry I missed the shoutout from a while back. Stay safe B-)
