Moto Camping With Just A Backpack?.. My "Sorta-Light" Dirt Bike Backpacking Kit 2023

[@j3ff100]

blowing into a sleeping pad introduces moisture which takes away some of the R value and can also cause the inside of the pad to mold. Best practice is to use a bag that plugs into the pad then you squeeze the air from the bag into the pad.

Thanks for sharing. I drive with an Osprey (40L/11 kilogram) backpack - I'm 66 now and have been using it for 20 years - all over the world. I love how it opens at the front, showing everything I carry at once. All extras can be easily adjusted on the backpack (I never carry more than 23 kilograms in total), including full LifeStraw bottle. Tools (7kg) stay on the bike. Greets from Erwin - Holland

Hi Tanner, I don't comment on many videos but I really do enjoy yours and have for some time. I did comment on one fairly recently. I saw your recent camping video and now this one. Like I mentioned the other time I wrote, I am 71 years old and have two bikes (An '08 Harley Heritage Classic and a Honda CRF300L). I use both for camping. I was shocked when you mentioned on your camping video carrying 50 lbs of gear. I'm pretty sure I carry half of that in weight or less. Since I am on a very limited fixed income from having to retire early to take care of my wife many years ago t he last year of her life. A number of years ago I talked to a number of people about what criteria they use to spend money on all the new latest greatest gear? The best answer I ever got was they would spend up to $20 to save an ounce. In this video you talked about all your gear. For cookware and utensils I like titanium. I do admit I used a Big Agnes mountain glow ultralight tent and recently purchased one of their fairly new bike pack tents (12inch poles). I agree with liking having a chair and even a table. I use the Big Agnes chair and Helinox table with my bikes. Being a beat up old guy I like light weight and comfort. I also admit I do use some Mountain House meals too (along with other things). Please keep up your outstanding videos. I will look forward to seeing more of your camping ones you made mention of. I do try to "Adventure Daily". As ski season is winding down I have been able to get both bikes out

[@AdventureDaily]

Hey Dennis thank you for the comment!! Over 10lbs of that is just my camera equipment but that's a trade off I am willing to make for the production value. Titanium is awesome, nice choice of tent!! Seems like you are making the best out of your retirement, enjoy every minute of it.

Sick setup. Couldn't agree more - lightweight is the way to go and makes it easy which makes you want to do it more often. All around win - 100k subscribers by July 4th. Let's goooo

I love a hammock too, when you have the trees and I just discovered how great wool is. It’s heavy but worth it.

[@michaels7499]

Have you checked out the Garmin Inreach devices? Nice to have when going in really remote areas. I use the GPSMAP 67i.

[@lukefish7562]

Tanner! Excellent video! As many times before we’re on the same page. I’ve camped all my life but never moto camped and just now getting all I need and fine tuning my stuff for GF and me. Love me some Goal Zero stuff. Heck my backup power for tiny house is their Yeti 3000. Knife wise-usually some Benchmade or microtech. Always great content buddy! Keep it up! 🙏🏽💪🏽🏍️💨

[@steveh100]

Nice to see what other people carry, I'm pretty minimal but include tools etc for flats, 'd like to go rackless but never confident I can keep stuff away from exhaust when off road... I'm sort of lucky like that 😂

[@0HARE]

All this you are talking about in this episode really speaks to me. I have a ‘21 Honda CRF300 Rally, and an ultralight backpacking kit. Looking forward to hitting the trails and doing some camping.

[@88montessjj]

Mountain smith makes some amazing hip packs. Utilizing load lifters . I got the tour model in coyote brown.

[@jamieharmon4928]

I have a Shurpa x moto trailer they're an amazing little one wheel trailer that attaches to the rear axle it'll follow you anywhere you can even do wheelies. Look into it you probably have to pre-order you will not be disappointed

[@donnieyoung2774]

Your Jetboil components will all fit inside if you put them in order as follows, fuel canister, pot holder, burner assembly and lastly fuel cannister support. I love them and have used mine moto camping for years. I dig your channel.

[@jde3751]

The quilt is the way to go for sure!

[@AdventureDaily]

I was very happy with it, definitely changes the comfortability of sleeping!

[@michaelrodrigues8142]

My EDC is a SOG Powerpint. Just the right size multitool. Prior I had the Leatherman Juice which I gave my son, also a fantastic multitool for EDC. That Gerber is cool but I find myself using the pliers way to ofter. I'll also carry the Brisa Necker which is a pocket size fixed blade.

[@insatiable_mind]

I’ve gotten my pack below 30 pounds for a weekend not including camera equipment but that did include 2 liters of water. I have friends who go ten pounds lighter.

[@TaterGrabbinBass]

Cliq chairs are the BEST! I also like to keep a power bank that also serves as a jumper so if you or a buddy needs a jump it’s easy, it was a necessity for my Harley I had.

[@f-22raptor64]

My EDC is a CRKT Crossbones.

[@rolandwheeler4842]

Nice video and great explanation of your gear set. Currently, I moto camp on my 1978 Honda XL175 while I search out a WR250R or CRF300L. I use the Tusk Excursion system with the larger top case and it works well for me, although I had to mod it a bit for the vintage bike. I still wear a back pack for the lighter stuff and if I get stranded I can load what I need into the backpack to hike out. For my knife I carry a vintage Spyderco folding knife (made in Seiki City, Japan as I don't like cheap Chinese junk blades as they will break). I really like that new Gerber multi tool that you have. They make a lot of their stuff in the USA, but their low cost lines are made overseas. Where is yours made?

[@pinecone3604]

Awesome I want to get into thus more myself. Look into olight. They have lights with different colors you can select. I have a soft cream 1200 lumen light and it works great for mechanics because it doesn't glare. Anyway highly recommend the worrier mini 2

[@pierrebikelifetv9832]

Nice friend

[@johnpagejr.7628]

Very good informative video Tanner. I like videos about camping and what gear people are using. I know Giant loop products are not cheap but they have some amazing products. They have a very nice water bags in different sizes and fuel bags also. I have a set of pouches that mount on each side of the gas tank in front of your knees. I Carrie all my tools in them and they work great. Another company that makes a rack less system is Green Chile.

[@P-Dog1873]

like the new style of the channel!

[@firstamendmenttshirt4768]

Good thing no spider got you.

[@bigphil450]

I carry a leatherman wave Extra driver bits an ratchet bit extentjon Very multipurpose walrth a try if you can afford

[@AdventureDaily]

There we go! I’m waiting for the ARC model to come out.

[@bigphil450]

@@AdventureDaily excellent choice!! I did buy my wave 10 years ago and it still doing great! If i break it in 15 years when the warranty goes out i might get the arc 🤣 Try get it in color you can find easlily in the bushes you do not want to search for it and panicking. That happened to a buddy of mine with a tan signal!

[@clvrswine]

My bike has all JIS screws and I imagine most other Japanese bikes do as well. You really are "screwing" up by using a Phillips when the screw is a JIS.

[@NyphronRising]

I'm planning massive ADV ride on my crf250f. Please do a vid on your rackless for 250f

[@michaelanderson3771]

Survival tip - If you think of carrying a Lifestraw for making clean drinking water from any free standing pond , pool of water. then the oldest survival tip for getting water. the old piece of clear plastic sheet 1' x 1' ( 30 cm x 30 cm) , a light-weight container or cup, find a stone and some green leafy matter, dig a 1' round hole about 6" - 10 " deep, put the green leafy matter in a hole position the cup on that , plastic over the top held at edges by stones or larger rocks and the pebble or stone in the centre to allow the condensation of run down the plastic and into the cup. You would be surprised how much moisture comes from grasses or leaves of plants even from the ground alone under the plastic.

[@insatiable_mind]

I didn’t realize until the end that you wore the pack riding. I assumed you tied it down to a rack or the seat behind you.

[@shereemitch]

I have a 2014 giant loop coyote that I would like to donate for your future projects.

I think that the "hospital quality" of light that you're talking about may have more to do with the CRI (color rendering index) of the light than it's color temperature (typically measured in kelvin). I think your light has a color temperature of 4000K and a CRI of ~85%. Typically you trade some efficiency for CRI (if you care, it's probably worth it). You can jump into the r/flashlight rabbit hole if you wish (and r/ultralight for that matter) but I have a couple of recommendations for you. The Rovyvan A5 is probably too light for you as it's just a (tiny) flashlight. Jupiter (a KZbinr/thruhiker) uses this instead of a headlamp and clips it to his hat. 17g, 420 lumen burst (high CRI variant), CRI of 90%, ~$40. The Nitecore nu25 is a popular, option. The older (2017?) model seems to fit your needs better. The old version has a moonlight (very dim) mode, a high CRI source and a lighter body. It's micro USB though - the new version skips the low light and high CRI features and has a heavier body, but uses USB-C. Lower CRI (80%?), 360 lumen mode, 53g with strap (28g without) ~$40 The Mankerlight E03H II seems to fit you pretty well; it's higher CRI, headlamp, USB-C. It's got a

[@OutKast-Garage]

Tanner what knee braces are you using.

[@Spartan375X]

"Less is more" seems to be true when it comes to camping/backpacking, or something like that.

[@thepedallerdoc1763]

Dude! You put your potty shovel in there along with your food????

[@armadilllo]

50 lbs?!!!! I thought I was bad at 36 on my bike for everything even a chair, table, 4 liters of water, canned food, ice, two beers and a 44 mag.. I could probably save another 7 lbs with a new tent and sleeping bag. I know a guy who has under 10 lbs in a small duffel before food and water. You could save 3 lbs just by ditching that chair for a different one. A 50 lb backpack? Not a good idea if you crash, even falling over could smash a wrist trying to stop a fall.

[@danburby7936]

TANNER WHY DOES YOUE BIKE HAVE THE OLD STYLE FORKS?

[@jimtitt3571]

You only dump a dirt bike wearing a large pack once.

No. Not a real issue. Lived here a long time, nothing to fear but our own ego. Those people do not want any trouble so close to the border.
