Motorcycle Camping Alone in the Wilderness - Honda XR650L

[@TheWillsulla]

Did my first motocamping last weekend inspired by you. 933 miles, 4 days, 3 nights in 3 places, 12 hours of hard trails and loved it! Keep up the good work.

[@FridaysTheBomb]

That sounds epic dude!

[@billclinton4344]

Bad ass

[@mohawkmikemotorcycles9077]

Definitely inspiring

[@johnbar4126]

I’m dealing with stress and anxiety right now with a relationship and, your videos help me calm down so much. All I can say is Thank you!

[@patrickcooper9641]

I am in the same "boat" right now! And I think that I will pack up the bike (1200 GSA) and get the heck out! I need a long break!

[@johnbar4126]

Patrick Cooper best of luck man!

[@patrickdecambra2219]

Dump the chick get a bike

[@Carlos-ig6oo]

I second leaving the lady if you're not married, life is too short to be in a unhappy relationship. MGTOW bro! Enjoy your life!

[@wittlekittie3512]

Omg same!!!!!!!!!

[@nostalgicbaainaar9751]

Ah! Flamed grilled steak, a good whiskey and only yourself to keep yourself company...bliss.

[@robnowicki1490]

After ALL of these years... I still love ya and keep coming back for some relaxing times. Thanks, man.

[@MrKillermiller99]

This is stupid. But I want to say that this was 36 and a half minutes of my life well spent. I miss these videos and I finally left a like because it's cool to just sit back and chill and pretend that you're hanging out with a friend. No product reviews, no sponsor bs, no like and subscribe, no anything. Just chill, hangout session with a random person with the same interests as you. You'll probably never see this FTB but these videos were a big part of me beginning to ride. Hope all is well with you and thanks for the memories/inspiration

[@FridaysTheBomb]

Thank you for this comment, it really means a lot to me. I hope you create fond memories from your riding experiences!

[@bradb9146]

I love what you do bro . = ) Don't ever stop .

[@jerseycowboy1]

Admire your adventurous spirit. Nothing like Freedom! and enjoying this life God has given us.

[@BJJNINJA215]

You got a new subscriber here - I really like your style, your not pretentious or trying to be something you're not. Real simple and down-to-earth and a good conversation. Keep it up!

[@FridaysTheBomb]

Thanks! That's what I'm aiming for.

[@voodooromeo8749]

My xr is flat black with military shoulder bags for saddle bags and I have a luggage rack. I needed a lowering link as well. I run k60 tires, they work ok on the road and almost good in the dirt. Ride safe my friend best wishes from North west Ohio

[@coryboyd7958]

You're exactly the kind of person I'd like to camp with. Slow ride, no rush, relaxed conversation. To bad I'm in Ft Myers Florida.

[@MrRplo]

Just found your channel. Love the motorcycle camping series - wish you were still making these. I will burn through the archive. Cheers.

[@bonnevilleponds]

Spot on about earning that couch time, nothing better than getting out all weekend wearing yourself out then just sitting down for a few hours. Some great cooking ideas there as well. Wild Turkey is like $50 here in Aus, nothings cheap here. I gotta go camping again really soon. Good stuff as always mate!

[@whitecompany18]

If your bike broke down I bet you could of rode that steak home mate 😂 be good to see you up the woods with an abundance of sticks .nice one fella

[@jamesspurling]

Always looking forward to your videos, man!

[@stevemey3722]

The channel is awesome bro👍👍What you're not is not an issue,You deserve way more subs!!! You produce what would be considered a television series Imo...Great work man!!! i enjoy and make sure that I hit that like on every video!!!

[@trey631]

Great video. I'm rather new to your channel, and I really like your format. Keep it up! I leave soon for a 5 night motorcycle camping trip with a buddy into the N, Georgia mountains. One location for one night, and four nights at a second location. I do not ride to far off road since I have a Kawasaki Concours 14, but there is nothing compared to getting lost in your thoughts while on the bike and camping and distancing yourself from the routines of daily life.

[@samuelorozco255]

I'm literally watching this during chrismas time.

[@fj4293]

That steak looked perfect. Awesome video man

[@SwankyCatProductions]

I can really relate to both your description of your relationship with your bike and your preference for solo riding. I'm in WI and ride a KLR 650. I'm hoping to get out and do some camping this summer but usually just ride woods trails. I love being way out there on a bike.

[@FridaysTheBomb]

Where can you do moto camping at in Wisconsin? Is there public land up there where this sort of thing is possible?

[@SwankyCatProductions]

@@FridaysTheBomb yes definitely, in the northern counties (about an hour from me) I'm fairly certain you can set up camp anywhere on the county land as long as your not blocking a trail. No permit or payment required. Ambition is required and so far that's been my issue haha. I'll just keep watching you and maybe that'll change.

[@paulbarber8642]

This has to be one of my favorite vids. Not sure why but well there you go.

[@FridaysTheBomb]

Thanks!

[@thewatsongallery2749]

I agree about the hiking, very good point. Over the years I've noticed - that lazy people never get to rest.

[@turnerrandolph4256]

Glad to see you finally picked up some Ti-Tongs! I use 3 fingers on mine. Thumb on top, index in between the spoon and fork, and middle finger below. Helps me control my "pinch" and they don't start twisting sideways on me. Another great video, your B-Roll is top notch!!

[@jerrycrum6404]

Another nice video in April so Happy Spring and be safe out there.

[@tombeckett4340]

I love my beer I do drink whiskey from time to time but not a lot . My wife said she doesn’t like me drinking whisky because I fall asleep . 😃 I ride a Vstrom ‘ now it’s a heavy bike and do pretty much the same as you and enjoy it. In the winter I camp when it’s -40f we snow shoe in & out. It’s great to hear the Timber wolfs at night especially if their close. It makes the hair stand up on your neck it’s a rush . I don’t drink alcohol in the winter because it dehydrates you quickly. Winter camping is busy busy all the time. You don’t sit around much and snow shoes and x country skiing are a real workout. 🇨🇦 Nice video cheers ride safe.

[@colincorrelation9007]

Small world, I was out there and saw XR650 and tent and thought to myself if this was you, but I didn't want to stop and ask. Finally ran across this video and it confirms it was you haha.

[@FridaysTheBomb]

Haha when did you see it?

[@Danstheman1357]

What you say is absolutely true on after a long hike your couch feels so much better. I also think food tastes better after a long hike.

[@brandenrunyan1821]

Hell yeah man. Motorcycles, camping, guns. Can I go?

[@FridaysTheBomb]

I made these videos for guys like you :)

[@brandenrunyan1821]

And I also have a Honda XR 650l 2018. I live in the Sierra Nevada mountains kinda near Yosemite. It’s the perfect bike for this area. I can smash on the highways and go straight out onto the trails. My girl and I did a trip off Hwy 108 recently. A bit big and heavy for single track stuff, especially going two top. I usually bring my Smith and Wesson model 686, 7 shot 357 revolver. Figure it’s enough for what ever we have in Northern Ca.

[@marzan6857]

Living free what else could you ask for?Enjoyed you posting.For a few minutes I felt free also.

[@jonathanmustain4048]

Dangit man. This is what I needed. I've been looking into buying that bike (originally what I searched for). But seeing you using it in this application made me realize there is definitely more to paying bills and dying lol. Living the good life. Keep it up man, it's time for me to do the same.

[@FridaysTheBomb]

Right on man, glad you liked the video!

[@cg9608]

Love this man keep it up

[@danmulkiewicz5515]

Nice video! I'm a keyboard warrior so this gives me something to distract me while I work! Bonus points on the piece. Awesome platform. I love my 96G-SD. I bought a 9mm barrel, spring and mag to shoot the cheaper 9mm through it. Works well. :)

[@nathanielrhill]

Dude thanks for thinking of us dr650 guys! Cheers from SoCal

[@clutchymotovlogs3509]

Good content bro. Looking forward for many camping videos to come

[@sktr2872]

Been watching for a long time, not sure why I never subbed; well, it's done! Keep it up, getting ready to start some camping on my brand new C RF250l, as soon as spring makes it to Toronto! Cheers!!!!

[@FridaysTheBomb]

Thanks!

[@selcukturkoglu5927]

Oh my god! What a nice camping. I do not understand how half an hour passed, also your XR650L (AKA Big Red Pig) 😁 looks very nice. I love this bike but Euro 4 emission restrictions ruined bike market. Honda didn’t bring this bike in Europe. But i still love this brp. I have a 2019 KTM 690 Enduro R. I checked out some adventure gears (saddle bag, tail bag etc) for my bike from Enduristan. Your vids are so inspring please keep it up. Cheers mate, greetings from Turkey.

[@commandmastacheef]

Dam dude, you have come a long way bruddah. Good for you. Always enjoyed your videos. Big fan

[@BrokenEnduro]

Love the vid bro! That wild turkey snuck up on ya! Lol

[@scable-eq7bp]

New subscriber,super cool channel, I'm 65 years old and retired and the proud owner of a Honda 2018 CFR250L, I have it decked out pretty close to what you have, I do weekend camping trips with it here in Florida and parts of Georgia, but next month I'm taking the big ride to northern Arizona and Utah, probably stay around Flagstaff quite a bit, no motels this trip all camping unless the weather is shitty.........

[@FridaysTheBomb]

That's going to be an awesome adventure! Lots of places to camp up there too.

[@kilwager]

About to throw a leg over my BRP for the first time. Here’s to new adventures...👍🏼

[@glenmickelson5133]

you got things figured out ! A man with a plan, love the video!!

[@Crunchyham6]

Go camp in Colorado with Tdubskid 😁 I fully enjoy the ride-along, setup and cooking with your camping trips.

[@FridaysTheBomb]

Haha I need to go camp with him

[@estarszak]

I just subbed. I dig your style and drive a DRZ400. I ride both desert and forests, but super chill and usually with a purpose other than just riding. Good times!

[@FridaysTheBomb]

Thanks! Glad you like the videos!

[@goatmototours]

Thanks for the videos and taking me along with you on your journey. Enjoyed watching them. Was going to ask you what DSLR you used. Looks like a 50mm lens but I couldn’t get the camera model. The B-roll shots are the beginning of the videos are super cool. Did have the camera on a rail? They look so smooth and steady. Keep up the good work brother and hope to run into you on the trails one of these days (or months lol)

[@FridaysTheBomb]

The camera is a Canon T5i and I use a 50mm lens, and the 18-55 standard one. Thanks

[@edwardhovitz1753]

Thanks bro for sharing and keeping it real.

[@hosssdualsportadventures5774]

This is a great video and total props on the veggies lol. I am looking forward to doing some solo dualsport camping this summer also! Good times and happy trails

[@FridaysTheBomb]

Thanks!

[@mcpheonixx]

Just found your channel. I never learned to ride a motorcycle but at the end of this year I'm planning on buying a dual sport. Gonna take some classes, it's required in Florida, and learn to ride. I want to do exactly what your doing. Overnight weekend camping trips. Good video, looking forward to seeing more!

[@RoadKing05FLHR]

Can't wait to get out there. Been motocamping cross country for years on my Harleys. Just got my 1290 Adventure R and ordered some Mosco Moto luggage, etc. Still not sure where my first backcountry camping trip will be. All these bikes are tall for clearance. I can barely flat foot mine and I'm over 6'4. You got the right idea.

[@ascott4285]

Wouldn't mind that steak seasoning recipe! And this channel is the bomb!

[@FridaysTheBomb]

I love it!

[@FridaysTheBomb]

Maybe I'll reveal it someday

[@noyopacific]

​Friday'sThe Bomb Steak Dust, let me know when it's available in your eBay store. Thanks for the video!

[@AZScrambler]

Great video man! I really enjoyed this one - it reminded me of some of the older, longer videos. You went right up to where I was a few weekends ago! I'd always be down for a dual trip or even just meeting up and riding over to bike night.

[@HooksAndWheels]

Got a new subscriber because of this video. Great job. Got an xr myself and love taking it camping. Love these videos. Great job!! I keep a telescoping fishing pole on my bike for up here in the northwest.

[@FridaysTheBomb]

Thanks, I'm glad you liked the video. This was one of my favorite trips.

[@HooksAndWheels]

@@FridaysTheBomb looks like it!! I used to live out by kingman AZ and if you wanna go that far out there is a nice canyon ride that goes up to an old abandoned famous concrete mansion. I rode up there and camped. Was awesome! Watch out for the Green Mojave rattlers though. I always carried one mag of snakeshot shells with me.

[@1aview]

Orderd a 1p tent today to try out. Gona be hard to beat my hammock set up

[@FridaysTheBomb]

Hammocks are deffenitely more comfortable, but theres something about the weather protection that a tent provides that I prefer.

[@1aview]

Ya i totaly get it. U got a tarp but thats not a wall lol... i wanted to expand my camp spots. And finding a camp ground here with trees or even let me hang a hammock is iffy. So a tent is a safer option.

[@Lee-qg4wr]

Your videos are great man. I just bought myself a Drz 400 so I can enjoy some moto camping up here in Canada. Now I just have to learn how to ride this damn thing. Haha

[@FridaysTheBomb]

Haha have fun and be safe

[@Crittermoto]

Digging your vids. Question: with doing your food prep, cooking and eating at your tent, dies that not bring the critters to your door? Up here on the west coast of Canada we’re taught to have a sleeping site and a cooking/eating site when wild camping to keep the bears from coming and snuggling up with us while we sleep.

[@FridaysTheBomb]

I've never had a problem with animals coming around. I put all the scraps in a bag, tie it tight, and roll it up into the dry bag on the motorcycle. I think it masks the scent of the food. I've also hung the bag away from the tent before.

[@Crittermoto]

Friday'sThe Bomb cool man. Keep the vids coming👍🏻 I’m looking forward to getting out myself pretty soon as the weather is getting a bit “friendlier” up here.

[@decentdiversions]

Great video. The scenery was awesome and the vegetables you cooked looked delicious! Did you pack out the soda can? What about the pistol shells? Can’t wait to dig more into your channel! Cheers from Canada.

[@FridaysTheBomb]

Yeah I pack out everything

[@controlledfreakr]

Awesome brother. Lovely steak and good shooting

[@Refused27]

Keep the vids coming man! I love these. Finally took my big red pig out a few times this year put a new set of tires on it can't wait for this season!!

[@FridaysTheBomb]

Thanks! I'll try and keep these up!

[@IWANJAYASOLO]

I like this video good job

[@bruceyeung23]

I love my off road bike yamaha dt 2003 bought it brandnew still going strong

[@Stevenromans86]

So Good to see you back,, and dedicating time to some motorcycle camping! Love IT!! This one was as great as the ones you did 3 years ago,, BRAVO BOMB.....BRAVO! I myself am enjoying a shot of whiskey and a nice amber beer as i watch this fine video. Peace to you. I will order a shirt from you down the line,,,,honest.

[@FridaysTheBomb]

Hey nice to see your still watching ;)

[@alexmorton8659]

Wonderful video, I love the way you share your set up and the whole camping experiance! Well done!

[@imafarmboy2]

Wild Turkey American Honey is well worth the try.

[@FridaysTheBomb]

Thst stuff is great after going in the freezer!

[@truckmanonfire]

Camping at Christmas time...lol Wish I could do that here. Great video as always. Probably another month before I can start to go camping.

[@FridaysTheBomb]

Just come back and watch it again on Christmas!

[@enauyt]

Hell yeah, I live nearby this area. Need to g wrt time off work so I can hop on my bike and head out.

[@bah5310]

Joe's Infinity steak spice bottle. Great video.

[@sscbkr48]

100 proof in the middle of nowhere and you hear other people shooting who are probably drinking too.. just like camping in BC during hunting season! 😂🤔😁

[@AstheMagpieFlies]

I love hiking! Gyms have always made me feel uncomfortable, and as a kid that grew up on a ranch, I never could understand how they had the energy to go work out after bucking hay bales? XD of course not thinking about the fact that not everyone has to buck bales during hay season.

[@erikbreaman9124]

I mainly watch because I have the same bike and ride the deserts. I've done the same with the DR and KLR, and XR is bulletproof..

[@twiffy10]

Garden Shade Cloth is the best for putting down at the door of a tent buddy. it dosn't capture the dirt and sand. best thing i started doing.

[@mulyawongk6560]

First video I have watched and subscribed straight after the explanation of your channel 😂

[@nabu0336]

I started backpacking way before I got a dual sport, so once I got the bike I got a bit lazy lol... 30-35lb packs are way better strapped to the rack.

[@rickatill44]

hi from canada 🇨🇦🌲🌲🌲its now very winter were i am jus got my honda crfL250 this sept i wanna do this type a riding this summer so til spring your vids will help with my earge to get out til snows gone ....😁enjoying your vids so far ....

[@TyTriestoRide]

Awesome job on the shirts man, super comfy and it's the best fitting tee I own.

[@FridaysTheBomb]

Thanks!

[@madiantogloria7581]

great video , honest and simple but packing '' the real '' as it relates to most of us out here wanting to do the same things plus the cigar .

[@markyg1964]

Another great video, love the fact you can go shooting in the USA, keep em coming

[@barrybowen9780]

Love it. Keep them coming my friend.

[@dravenlegaspi353]

Been waiting for this :D thanks FTB for uploading this kinds of video. Some day im gonna buy a honda xr200 which is similar looking to your bike. Only smaller and more affordable. Imma take my own little adventure like you.

[@FridaysTheBomb]

Have fun!

[@TheEveMatrix]

me and a friend plan to go on a motorbike trip 1 month trip to alaska on x2 2018 Yamaha MT-10's, mostly camp as much as we can, cause tent camping is real camping :) should try those dinners in a bag, you can get from amazon, their really good and easy to carry along when out on overnight or trips, just add hot water and wait 20 mins and then enjoy

[@mtbalot]

Oh man I want to go bike camping SO much. I have all the gear, but I have a trail dirt bike, no rack. maybe I could get a GIANT backpack? :O

[@jamesboaz4787]

More camping and gun videos please.

[@OutdoorWarrior]

That grub looks delicious!

[@FridaysTheBomb]

Thanks! I could eat steak literally every day and be happy forever

[@mohawkmikemotorcycles9077]

Definitely inspiring

[@seancarr9907]

LMAO!! That music when your cooking. Food Porn. Great video

[@albertosbrolla8424]

Happy Easter! Thanks for sharing the scenery!👍

[@WorkingClassMedia]

I really love the idea of bringing a pistol when camping in an isolated area....better to have it and not need it. right? :)

[@FridaysTheBomb]

Yeah, I see it as a tool. I'll probably never need it, but I'd rather have it than not.

[@WorkingClassMedia]

Exactly...alot of bad guys out there lol

[@jay_pozz4222]

Keep them coming 👍 stake whisky gun 🔥 🤙

[@FridaysTheBomb]

Haha you know it!

[@DFWMotoAdventures]

Great videos. I rode a xr650L for a long time. The last year I covered about 30k miles on an Africa Twin, night and day difference on the road. The Twin is still a pig off road LOL.

[@matthewarnold8100]

Guy goes out in the sticks, shoots a gun, burns a steak and gets drunk. Nice video.

[@FridaysTheBomb]

Idk about burning bro! Thanks for watching lol

[@diyit2989]

Nice motocamp! Looked like good views & good eats too.

[@goodride2004]

Glenlivet 12 year is fantastic for a sub $30 range, really good.

[@LegEndLUC]

Love me some Wild Turkey 101

[@Nostrildomus]

Yee High ! I like it and I'm still being forced fed Organific green juice . Got mufflers coming for my 'Night Train' , no ant gonna video the results except for this chick . . . Lol . Who would have ever thought right ? But were gonna make this work , right . Thanks All , Thanks be

[@Nostrildomus]

P.S. Keep your Infinity in the freezer ; -)

[@100SpokeRiderz]

Very cool vid

[@captsam54]

Bout time.. I want an XL T shirt. lol. and sold my KLR a while back and have a Honda Rally now... We motocamp all the time down here in S. Ga... we used to shoot.(still do) and then go out.. and at then end of the day. after drinking and eating whatever... dip our cigar in some Gran Marnier and smoke it.. Good stuff..

[@FridaysTheBomb]

I was thinking I wished I had a cigar on this trip. I love cigars.

[@Chris-vq5vr]

Man that steak was still kicking

[@Mayjay87]

Merry Christmas 😅

[@Sebastian_Dinwiddie]

Merry July 4th dude. May all your Labour Days be white.

[@FridaysTheBomb]

Haha thanks!

[@ghardi6324]

Enjoyed watching!

[@brucemontgomery8350]

Awesome man! Great info!

[@stevenbury3980]

Yeah, it interests me how your videos are always solo. Cool you joked about that. You don't make friends haha. Own that. I'm glad you've focused on what's popular (the camping videos)but also it's something you want to do. I know motorcycle review videos are popular online. I myself don't want to do that solely on my channel. Ironically, I probably found your channel through your 650l review vid.

[@FridaysTheBomb]

The camping videos are what people really want to see... and I know they are my best work, so I figure I might as well stick to them. The schedule of filming once a month is a lot easier to handle as well..

[@developerCorner]

I like your style. I'm doing the same in my C class and can am 4 wheeler. Currently in spring mountains. Let's link up for a ride.
