Cracking video Frazer! A tarp is all we need :)

[@motohobo]

Ah, takes me back to 1976 and my Suzi GT500. I used to use large industrial rubbish/dustbin bags. Sometimes with a tarp set up similar to yours. Friday evening head off to the coast. Norfolk, Suffolk or Essex. Would just pull off the road by the side of a field or lay by, hop over a gate and settle down behind a hedge out of sight. Usually we were only a few minutes ride out of town so it'd be up, roll up the rubbish and sleeping bag, strap it on the bike seat and head down to the sea front and find a cafe for a huge full English while waiting for the pubs to open. Happy days. My bones wouldn't like that now I have to say. I still do a bit of minimalist camping but I have to have a thermarest mat or similar. When you opened your little stove and said you were going to try cooking with candles I thought good luck with that,haha.Tried it before myself. That was a great video, mate. Brought back loads of happy memories. Thank you.

[@motorbikeway]

Thanks very much, I'm glad I could rekindle some happy memories. Sounds like some great times, I'm picturing it in my head right now 👌. All the best to you!

[@themotorbikecamper5990]

Well over here in Aussie it's a mere 32°c perfect for minimalist camping,

[@kidda74]

Fair play for trying the most minimal setup especially in uk autumn. I reckon with just a few more extra bits you could turn it into a much more comfortable camp. 👍

[@merryannmac8096]

I smiled through this entire video. You do get yourself in a pickle don't you. It was quite dark at times, but it is dark at times, so...You even made that look fun. Thanks for showing us camping, warts and all. Merry Ann from Minnesota

[@motorbikeway]

Thanks very much Mary Ann, I always appreciate your comments (all the way from Minnesota) 🙂

[@hansottosmotos]

Great to see you out camping, again! Always looking forward to those vids. All the best to you, Frazer and take care!

[@motorbikeway]

Thank you very much & thanks for watching!

[@OldGuyonaBike]

Glad it was you experimenting and not me. The emergency sleeping bag is a great idea!

[@mickshere9642]

Great effort many thanks

[@henry9406]

Loved this video, honest warts and all. A bit different to the usual camping videos where they buy all the stuff . Thanks mate 🍻

[@robertrobhog]

great video, When i got into bikes in late 70s thats how we camped never used a tent. but when your young you dont care about the weather..

[@motohobo]

👍Yep.

[@allsport5030]

Keep up the good work.

[@george5040]

Loved the idea of supporting the tarp with the bike. I am gonna have to try that sometime. If you are looking for other places to camp in the new forest, I recommend the green lanes near Nomansland and Hamptworth. Very few people and lovely scenery. Loved the video mate

[@motorbikeway]

Thanks very much for the recommendations. All the best!

[@memybikeni9931]

So minimalist you didn’t even take Pete Smith along 🤣🤣🤣. I love your wild camps, they are stress relieving just watching them.

[@motorbikeway]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 Best comment I've read so far!

[@boganmoto3803]

Love your videos. Keep up the great work.

[@rodneyhull9764]

lets get some perspective here. Recently these vids are getting more and more tedious,new forest,fried food rinse and repeat.

[@johnnycigarettes3325]

That looked like a cold and uncomfortable night - although nothing like the freedom of getting away from it all on the machine! I think if it had been me I would also have slipped a hip flask of scotch into the tank bag!

[@motorbikeway]

Thanks for watching! A hip flask sounds like a great idea, and probably would of helped with the cold and uncomfortable nights sleep. All the best!

[@elvisknievil4883]

If you had done that up here in Scotland just now you're new name would be frozen Langford. I put my tdm away for the winter then went snowboarding.

[@motorbikeway]

Frozen Langford 🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍

[@davidsanderson1891]

Hi mate. That's definitely going Light camping. Well done. Old dave

[@ibrahimdeniz7308]

Nice setup man, should try it for multiple days!

[@johna6968]

Not sure I fancy that open ended tarp set up particularly if the wind n possibly rain suddenly gets horizontal. Great idea for the guaranteed dry days.

[@motorbikeway]

It definitely needs a few modifications (2 more sides and a zip) 👌😁. Thanks for watching!

[@1barron]

Always test cooking gear before you use it. On another note, I have tested (in my back yard) a similar setup with my hammock, sleeping bag under quilt and a tarp. Just in case I cannot find two expectable trees. I have not needed to use it yet.

[@hurleyflyer263]

I'd have boiled the water as well, but a good video to help others who need it.

[@huyked]

If that chlorine tablet is for a liter of water, it's probably just too concentrated for that little amount of water (less than a cup) that you had. 10:40 Holy moley. The colors (natural, or not) of the footage of the that sunrise was beautiful. Did the emergency sleeping bag make you sweaty since it seems the material isn't breathable. I think in that coldness, I would have slept in my motorcycle gear. :)

[@motorbikeway]

Thanks for watching! The sleeping bag was relatively warm but very sweaty, my feet however were still freezing cold. After getting out of the sleeping bag it became very cold very quick. Good for survival but not for comfort. I would probably sleep in my motorcycle gear if I did this again. All the best!

[@huyked]

@@motorbikeway Thank you, Frazer, for answering my questions. I will use that useful added information! :)

[@viewsfromedsshed5356]

Great video mate. I think the thing I'd change is, take my own water. Also, if you've pegged the tarp down, no need to park ya bike on it. Also, next time, put a foot long stick under each end of tarp, it'd give you more space in case it rains (possibly!). Other than that, its a great idea, its made me want to bugger off for a night. Ed

[@stevebutler7156]

Brave man, rather you than me on that one Frazer :)

[@martyjoseph9507]

I started gagging after you said it smells like a swimming pool before you took a swig. Way strong on the tablet.

[@TheCoopsvids]

Love your adventures mate 👍🏻

[@thegael5758]

I carry a similar set up in my top box just in case the zombie apocalypse occurs while I'm on a trip,I'd boil the water if I had to drink from a still puddle .Interesting subject,always better to be prepared for worst case scenario rather than rolling up in a ball and crying for your mammy.

[@illhaveanother4365]

*mommy

[@markspall6400]

Lunatic ! But I take my hat off to you. Well done.

[@OldManTony]

It was almost worth it for that sunrise, but too minimalist for me. However the kit was just about compact enough to carry around just in case!

[@motorbikeway]

That sunrise was incredible, the sleep was moderate to terrible. All good fun though. Thanks for watching!

[@bobfisheruk]

Interesting video Frazer, But I think you are not quite wired up right. . All the best.

[@jimmymac9388]

Frying pan ditch.Go down to Aldi buy some nutrition bars and a small bottle of something to drink and it will take less space.We used to live on mars bars when camping back in the day.

[@motorbikeway]

I agree, I would of much preferred a mars bar to the mess I was trying to scrape out my pan. Thanks for watching!

[@garymoult1406]

You looked absolutely knackered in the morning,great watch though. Think I’ll stick to b&b’s though to be fair 🥶👍

[@motorbikeway]

Thanks very much! b&b sounds like a much better option 👍

[@moorshound3243]

you crazy bastard what happened to the hexi fuel for the stove? candles? Well done for getting out there man.

[@motorbikeway]

Thanks very much! I saw a facebook video of someone cooking bacon and eggs with candles. That's the last time I believe a crazy video on facebook. All the best!

[@parksmellon2854]

Bruv, was good untill drinking out the puddle. 2litre water from tescos is 50p

[@parksmellon2854]

Was gd vid like the idea how you set the tarp up.

[@bazkazontour754]

Hi Frazer. What camera are you using on your bike. Lovely images that make my drift ghost x look crap. Lol

[@motorbikeway]

Hi, I was using the GoPro Hero 7. But the image might look better because I use colour correction when editing. All the best!

[@PaddyOutback]

It's impressive that it can be done but it's a bit too Spartan for my liking!

[@pitstop.pen10]

Fair play to you for giving it a go. The sunrise looked fantastic . Brrr not for me . Deffo wouldn't have lasted the night.

[@motorcyclewild5873]

Great video. Have you checked out my set up. I think iam going to try a minimum set up like yourself soon. Just checked out your website too. Great job on that mate

[@motorbikeway]

Thanks very much! I'm just going to check out your setup.

[@77archibald]

The first bit of your ride looked like Linwood?

[@motorbikeway]

Well spotted! I was heading out from Moyles Court along the Linwood road. Thanks for watching!

[@Mrkostaszx]

Hello frazer, i always get a bit paranoid when i see the tarp set up against the bike like that. Aren't you worried some strong wind hits you the opposite side and brings the bike down on you?

[@motorbikeway]

Hi, being completely honest, that's all I was thinking about through the entire night. Every strong breeze made me uneasy. I don't think I would do this again. All the best!

[@BatterseaBill]

I bet you'd be really good at selling the Big issue. 😁

[@motorbikeway]

🤣🤣🤣 Can you spare some change 😁

[@henleyhiggins3075]

Surely having the bike the other way around would make more sense as you'd have the side stand inwards to guarantee it wont fall over on top off you ???

[@motorbikeway]

I was torn on which way around to put the bike. I was thinking for practicality and comfort your way makes the most sense. After I tried a practice setup I was concerned if the side stand folded or snapped the bike would fall on me. Still unsure which way is best but I would like to try it the other way around. Thanks for your comment!

[@Jaffa1951]

@@motorbikeway You definitely did it the right way round. If the bikes going to fall it will fall the way it's leaning, unless somebody pushes it. It would take a very strong wind to overcome that lean.

[@johnschotz1614]

I’ve got a hotelroom

[@wilswood8137]

A little ( lot ) to basic for me Frazier . But enjoyed it all same 👍🏻😄

[@WalkinSalmon]

Can’t tell if this is real or a piss take 😂😂. Your a brave dude or just mad

[@malcolmwinter2239]

10 out of 10 Frazer. Proved it can be achieved, but I'm guessing you won't be doing that again...

[@motorbikeway]

Thanks very much! I definitely won't be trying it again with these temperatures. All the best!

[@mikep.541]

Coffee. You must have a stove to make coffee.

[@motorbikeway]

Next time. I could of done with a coffee. All the best!

[@jimwood1904]

Why "i hope it works"? Why not try out the stove first? Otherwise good improvisation.

[@motorbikeway]

That's a very good point. I saw it done on another KZbin channel, and thought it would work. On the positive side this video proves to others that it doesn't work, and it's pointless to try it. thanks for the comment & all the best!

[@979catalin]

Hey! Don't do this! It is hard and seems like a torture ! Give as a video after trying ultralight tent and sleeping bag with same amount of volume as you tested in this video and say: "hey, this mite work ! Man, i like you, I love what you do , don't go to experiment like this :))).

[@motorbikeway]

Thanks very much for your advice, it was a bit of a torturous adventure. I think I will stick to a comfy tent next time. Thanks for watching & all the best!

[@maz2496]

Come on Fraser take your tent, water and cooking equipment, why suffer

[@motorbikeway]

I will definitely be taking all of my equipment next time. Thanks for watching!

[@herbertXX]

never been attacked by any animal, or poisonous insect

[@alasdaircampbell1863]

🤧

[@motorbikeway]

🤣🤣🤣 The food right! Nightmare scraping it out the pan 😅

[@Nick-vx3er]

This is the most depressing video i've seen all day. Shambles.
