Motorcycle Touring/Camping Guide

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Thanks man! it's a blast to be out on the open road with the bike, no worries just throttle!

[@smccrory]

I watched again to help me with my own prep for a trip next month. Excellent job - thanks for recording your setup!

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Thanks for watching, glad I could help =)

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Sweet, glad you liked the video! safe travels!

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

I'll be in that area for about 4 days so hopefully I'll have plenty of time to ride around and see the sights and the dragon a few times!

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Thanks, and that's a good idea! glad you had a successful trip!

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Thanks man! If the rods would fit in my tail bag I would just put the tent in there but they're too long to fit in there!

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Thanks bro, it's not for everyone but it sure is addicting!

[@WilksMotovlogs]

Great setup. Really enjoyed the video. One thing I have learned from the Ozarks meetups is get rid of the wipes for the visor and get a set of the cheap micro fiber clothes from Dollar General. Wet one down and put it in a zip lock baggie. It works a whole lot better than the cheap glass wipes and doesnt harm your visor as much.

[@BrianWest58]

Love the budget on your gear. A tip I might add is to take the tent out of the bag it comes in and stuff it in a side bag. For me I put the poles and stakes in my tail/duff bag.

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Thanks! hope you have a good trip!

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Yeah I'm sure it would. I plan to use this same set up on a cross country trip in a few years :)

[@plgoddard1]

Great job explaining everything, and thanks for using the can as a size reference.

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Thanks for watching :)

[@davidsmi1010]

For my trip from OR to NY I rode a 1995 Suzuki GSXF 750 and I used a tank bag, a tail bag and I wore a backpack. I did this because I wanted to keep the bike from being top heavy. The backpack also allowed me to keep my valuables with me when I went in to pay for gas and it gave me the freedom to hike more if I wanted to. Got sick real quick of being limited to what was with in a days walk of where ever I was camping. It all worked great. Have fun stay safe, PS I had my laptop in my backpack too and with the right set up was my connection to the world weather, road, maps even google earth. Ordered a pizza on it once too. lol

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Hope you can come next time!

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

haha the place I'm staying at has bathrooms and all that good stuff! See you soon buddy!

[@Guinness1759Lover]

great video. A lot of helpful advice. I've done some trips before but it's been a couple years and this was a great refresher of information for my upcoming week long ride. And I too will be camping so this was a very informative view. Thanks.

[@DJMotoVlogs]

Good stuff man, very helpful to noobs like me who never been camping. I think I;m definitely going to invest in that tank bag. Should be perfect for a one night trip imo.

[@Finnoctane]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge man! Hopefully I'm a little more efficient on packing for my next trip!

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Going through Northern Florida on the highway I was cruising at 90-100mph with no problems

[@geradldove]

Thanks man just been out all day thanks for the advise made it to Yarmouth and then to London down south 540 miles still going ....

[@LEDXSR900]

You can definitely carry a lot with all you have! Have a great trip!... next time I'm coming too! lol

[@illidur]

good advice, i just got back from my first trip doing this with basically the same setup except my tailbag didn't come in time. was 5,000 miles total and camped the whole thing. my trip didn't go flawless, but definitely was great. I didn't use a tank bag, instead i bought the 30$ mummy sleeping bag from walmart that has the 4 straps on the side. then bungee'd it on my tank so i can lay on it for some sportbike comfort :)

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

lol I know dude! Maybe connie is in my future!

[@grimsome180]

very nice been thinking bout doing something sort of like this not that far of a ride but far enough to where imma need extra clothing

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Thanks man, glad I could help :)

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

You should def check them out bro!

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Thanks, and that's a good idea! :)

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Thanks man!

[@KrisMOTO23]

[@jwoo530]

Amazing video man. Very helpful

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

You're very welcome :)

[@1208BristolCourt]

Thanks for the overview. Great tips!

[@MotorbikeVlogger]

Those Zip lock bags are Gold!... bag everything! Nice to see everything at the end on the bike... How do you waterproof cover the sleeping bag?

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

yep, I plan on it! lol

[@blackdraggn]

Really good vid, thanks helped out alot

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Thanks! glad I could help :)

[@darrylbryant499]

Excellent video!!!

[@LEDXSR900]

trixie in fast motion is hilarious!

[@ChrisNH2FL]

Yeah buddy, for $50 and for as little as I'd use them I think the saddle bags are great. I may invest in those for next year for when I go to NY again :) I trust that they are water proof?

[@MarcderMotovlogger]

Really helpful video. Thanks :)

[@rckhalsa]

Nice, thank you for this!

[@mrbikelife8272]

Thanks for the tips

[@Exclusivelibary]

personally thats way to much stuff. all i need is a camping hammock and a warm coat for when the nights get cold. but then again on every trip ive been on whether its hiking/kayaking/motorcycle/ ive always had the "i shoulda brought that" moment

[@LEDXSR900]

Man,you could carry a lot of beer in all those bags!

[@motomuscl3]

Nice video Salt!

[@johngentilcore]

assuming you don't cook anything while out since you didn't mention anything cooking gear. nice video.

[@kravivirgo]

NIce guide bro!

[@beardedbastards5750]

you sure pack a lot on your bike my man. I pack tent,sleeping pad, spare tubes, mess kit, hand pump. Excellent video though very descriptive. Graphite powder will fix small flats.

[@RobertBrumley60]

If your going on a trip alone, don't forget the hand lube! Sorry J/K. Great tips here thanks.

[@freemaysin5088]

"Air Mattress" that was the word you were looking for haha

[@MrJD410]

Two guys, no. Two girls uh, yeah! Definitely Hahahha love it bro

[@derose2026]

Yesss.. 2 guys no. 2 girls definitely

[@FlyGuyKai23]

Said two guys no. Two girls yessssssss. Two girls one tent.

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

haha now that I would watch! =)

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Trixie the kitty :)

[@MrJD410]

random... do you still have those orange gloves from the intro..?

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Yeah I still have them, they're actually the A* smx'2 in red, the video just makes them look orange

[@michaelohara2161]

Good vdeo

[@davidsmi1010]

great vid only have a few issues with your set up. I would NEVER bring anything under pressure or that flammable with me on a bike. Like you all my gear is black and out west and down south that sun is STRONG. Plus I just did a trip from Oregon to NY and had to go over the Continental Divide and it will put you at elevations greater than 8000 feet and have had the bottom of a pop can pushed out because of the changes in elevation. SOOO glad it didn't explode. Another thing I don't know who told you to use fix a flat in your bike tires but please bitch slap them. Besides the above reason fix a flat EATS aluminum and PERMENANTLY coats and slowly weakens most plastic and polymers over time. Plus at certain elevations and/or at certain temps you absolutely HAVE to get the tires rolling over 40 mph for them to inflate enough to use. Real fricken hard to do with a top heavy bike on possibly bad roads.

[@TheGardenSnake]

F a goldwing. That's pimp.

[@xCr0nus]

What type of bike would you recommend for this? Adventure touring perhaps?

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

I have a sport touring bike, but any bike can do this :)

[@48796gbf]

Are nice.

[@4BeerLife]

like for Pantera intro!!!

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

The ninja650shop website

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

haha luckily for me the girlfriend is terrified on motorcycles

[@Rocketfrog4755]

Don't forget to pack your shoes & glasses~Jerky Boys. Hehehe. Looks like you should of bought my connie. :)

[@iceclawsden]

would this work for cross country?

[@kingd3336_]

Do they have showers and stuff on campgrounds?

[@RobertBrumley60]

ACTUALLYxDAVE Some do!

[@MARKINAU8]

your tent and sleeping bag when packed up is way too big. My three men tent is smaller and lighter than yours and sleeping bag is about 60% of yours.

[@MrAlvinDo1]

great fucking intro man!! pantera!!

[@ilove2wheels44]

Kitty !!!!!!

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

lol :)

[@scene247]

Me gusta

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

NOPE! lol

[@mattpkp]

Get a hammock, you'll never go back.

[@davidsmi1010]

Only major problem with strictly using a hammock is there are quite a few campsites out there that have no trees. Out west especially!

[@jtreg]

Losing the will to live listening to this

[@ElijahWash]

2 guys no lol

[@GrumpyVlogit]

I fell asleep after 5 secs sorry

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

You're very welcome :)
