Mountain Bike Overnighter Trip

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Hey everybody, I decided to upload early in case I wake up tomorrow and hurricane Helene knocks out my internet and electricity overnight. Enjoy the video, good night and see y'all in the morning

[@thecarlislehomestead]

Stay safe guys! My daughter and her family are in Apopka, FL. and they are feeling Helene too. So crazy! It's a big one!

[@GuardianPrepping]

Thank you so much, this is going to be so awesome :D

[@LaRaineBarton]

Really like what you came up with on the trailer! Keep up the good videos.

[@octobermoon9]

Thank you, Dave and stay safe!

[@laineywright2696]

That's alright with me, it came out 4 hours ago and I'm watching you at 4:40 am. I'm a night owl, always up until way past midnight. Loved seeing the Bike U Haul out again.

[@Groknarion]

Thanks for sharing your sparse freetime with me. I got to say, I think you are a humble and hardworking man. The kind you want around you as friends in life. Keep on going and greet Nick!

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! I work hard and play occasionally. Lol. Thanks for watching

[@NorthGeorgiaSurvival]

Wow, Dave! You really hit it out of the park with both the bike trailer and cot tent. Just having a nice strip of landscape on either side of the bug netting makes that setup an A+, and the trailer to tote it all, too? Outstanding! Thanks for letting us all ride along with you on this Doggies on the Mount Adventure. Rock on, bro!

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks, Im glad you liked it. I think after this trip ,n om ore mods on the cot shelter because it did great! Im no fan of those yippin doggies tho. Lol.Thanks for watching

[@JimRodgers]

Your shelter is reminiscent of something from a safari. I call it a success. And the bike set up is definitely a win also!

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thats a good comparison Jim! Im glad you liked it. Thanks for watching

[@jutakazulunoski7537]

I've been a long-time subscriber. I'll never forget the first video I watched. That is your swamp series, "swamp kitchen/swamp chair". Thank you for sharing that with us and for this new video. Philippines~

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Oh that was a long long time ago but I still remember filming that! Thanks for the comments and thanks for watching for so long!

[@Ladythyme]

Although never necessary, thank you for sacrificing yourself as a mosquito pin cushion 😏 to bring us this video! It was great! 🥰… be well and stay safe! Hang in there! 😊

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

I suffered through that evening but for a great morning! Im glad you liked it. Thanks for watching

[@conarc-d1037]

Love seeing these over nighters Dave! You need to do more of these!! Especially in rainy and crappy weather. You should have over a million subs by now. Ive been watching your videos for 13 or 14 years now. Keep em coming brother.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. You'd think after 14 years on KZbin I'd have more subs than I do but I guess there's too much competition on here for some to grow. Take care and thanks for watching my friend

[@savageoldman]

Dont ask me why, I know it was simple to do, But the way you edited the camp breakdown for some reason was excellent. great video as usual

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks, Im glad you liked it. Ive never done an ending like that but it looked pretty cool so I may do that again! Thanks for watching

[@deanoboland]

Perfect set up Dave , the gray skies you have only temporary. If you live in Cornwall UK they are permanent.great video Dave..

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks Denano, I'm glad you liked it. Oh yes, gray skies come and go but we still have a lot of clear sunny days! Thanks for watching brother

[@Williamleo71]

That bicycle/trailer rig is nice! The cats pajamas. Agreed on the biting insects. Mosquito and the no see ums are brutal right now

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it, I'm overjoyed at how well it worked out. Thanks for watching William

[@pacificbushcraftandfirecra6358]

I heard alot of people have outages down there. Smart to download early. Loved the casual bike trip minus the dang dogs! Thanks for sharing with us!

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Yep, a lot got hit hard. Luckily we never lost power. Take care and thanks for watching brother

[@Terrie-QD-PRN]

Hey Dave Michael and I have been watching you for years. I thank God you and family are well. We are praying for all hit by this horrific storm. That rescue, food, and supplies reach them immediately. You always bring joy and insight into home as we watch to learn. Maybe in light of Helene, down your future filming, you can refresh us on emergency situations and how to survive in situation for 7-10 days with limited supply’s / no power. Best regards 🍁🕊️

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Hello Terrie! We had lots of rain but very little wind damage or flooding. I'm still shocked at how destroyed NC is. Thanks for the prayers and may God bless you too

[@pauldeacy9989]

Dogs making a racket, mossies, rain starting. All your vids having learning in them but what I take from this vid is how important a positive attitude is. You let a nightmare start just wash away and you enjoyed it regardless! Great vid

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

I figured I have very little free time so I gotta try and enjoy it even bugs and dogs irritating me. Lol. I'm glad you liked it and thanks for watching Paul

[@sharzadgabbai4408]

We went to bed right after dinner. Chris was up at 5AM making breakfast and prepping for a new gas stove in the kitchen. Then he Knocked out our ‘to do list’ - and himself, so we can have 3 days for ourselves. People need to be selfish in these uncertain times. I saw you had posted, made coffee and woke him up. It’s fun to see you using stuff we’ve passed on. Chris told me a funny story. His old apt moved in a guy with a aggressive dog That barked all day while the guy was at work.Manager wouldn’t fo anything because of low occupancy. THE MUSIC AND LANGUAGE OF WOLVES narrated by Robert Redford LP. He played it with the speakers against the common wall heater duct for eight hours straight. Dog never so much as growled at folks, kept looking around nervously.

[@AclockworkPurple]

I work in the canine behavior field. How do you know those dogs were “aggressive”exactly? True “aggression” is VERY rare in domesticated dogs. Generally people confuse reactivity with “aggression”. Also, the domesticated dog isn’t going to be bothered by the sound of wolves, it doesn’t work like that. I doubt anything that was done as you described had the effect you claim it did on the dogs. AGAIN, it doesn’t work like that.

[@marianfrances4959]

😂

[@sharzadgabbai4408]

When a dog, as this one eventually did, leaps out the apartment door and bites a 8 year old girl ? The police and animal control had probable cause it was ‘aggressive.’ My degree is archaeology UC Berkeley and U if Chicago. You msy want to read s dissertation comparing pack wolf behavior with early human bands. While serving inAlaska, the cheecacko wolves. AKA coyotes migrating up learned to stfu when wolves vocalised their territorial dominance. Lastly, my first dog was gifted by my grandfather’s neighbor and fellow WW1 vet, mr Lee Duncan. He taught me about dogs. Oh, he brought RinnTinn Tinn back from France. Chris

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Lol! I bet that dog was totally confused! I'm getting more comfortable with that Kelly kettle the more I use it

[@sharzadgabbai4408]

Amanda was happy to see you using it. I think it’s greatest potential is heating water FAST. All these channels going on about emergency fired? They never discuss step 2- heating your insides asap

[@EatCarbs]

Awesome set up brother! Those freakin mosquitoes should have gone and bothered the yapping bogs instead. 🤣🤣 Thanks for the video brother

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks Mark, Im glad you liked it. Lol, those dogs deserved those skeeters! Thanks for watching Brother

[@papajeff5486]

Great bike, trailer and kit. Man, you can go anywhere. Good on you. Hope the storm doesn’t become a problem. Thanks for sharing…from east Tennessee.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks Jeff! I'm glad you liked it. Oh yes, I can go anywhere there's a trail! Luckily all we had was a lot of rain but little damages. Thanks for watching

[@ScottCarlson-cz7wj]

"Go home! You to dumplin! -ha, I love it. Thanks for the overnight video, I enjoy these. Nice bike/trailer outfit. I'm impressed with the load that combo will carry.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks Scott, I'm glad you liked it. Lol, dumplin headed home

[@manny2ndamendment246]

The mountain bike vids are great content. My favorite.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Glad you like them! Thanks for watching

[@Flashahol]

I had to pause the video for a few seconds between dog barks because, just as I suspected, I had my own neighborhood dogs chorale going on at the same time. Nothing to do with me playing your video too loud but it definitely turned the experience into surround 7.1 😂 That was a great demonstration of bike camping like I never dreamed of doing, like usual...

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Lol, dogs are never quiet. I love this bike and trailer because I'm never limited by weight. Take care and thanks for watching

[@UT-CLANS]

It's great to see you Dave . I use cinnamon oil and vanilla extract mixed with water and vodka in a small spray bottle. Mosquitoes hate it . Hope your weekend is super.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

That's definitely a new one to me! Thanks and I hope you have a great weekend too!

[@JLu20]

Mosquitos might hate it...prolly gonna be some humans who most enjoy this delightful concoction! 😂👍🏻 Just remember to save some for the bugspray effect...💁

[@tjenahoj]

Amazing, nothing like testing out gear one built oneself! Extremely satisfying! Happy friday and blessings to Mr RBM1, family and loved ones and to the entire extended RBM1 family all over the world. Now on to the video!

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it and to me it's always fun testing homemade gear! Blessings to you and your family and thanks for watching

[@BabakPA]

Thank you for another cozy video dear Dave.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

You are very welcome and I'm glad you liked it!

[@marianfrances4959]

Those are awesome kettles, and i do love the efficiency of a twig stove! LOL on the dog visitors ...better than the mosquitoes! Good to see you out.👍😎🇨🇦💤🍳☕️🔥

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Oh I'm beginning to love that kettle! But I'm not very fond of those dogs. Lol. Thanks for watching Marian

[@WORRO]

Brother Dave I absolutely love everything about this setup. That bike is a game changer as far as toting the equipment that you would want.. God bless and take care my Friend. Thumbs up video ~John

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks John! I'm glad you liked it brother. I gotta say, this bike and trailer is one of the few projects that I think is done and needs no more mods! I love how well it works. Thanks for watching and may God bless you too brother John

[@tanjarott7535]

So great to see you out there with your set up. Just amazing how you create. Hope you are safe from the hurricane. I didn't know if you would even have a video with that going on so thanks for posting one. I love how you did that cot set up with those poles. Genius. You really were thinking outside the box.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it. I filmed this about a week ago so the hurricane wasn't a big deal for this upload. Take care and thanks for watching

[@stevecallaway8457]

Glad you BACK. Watch the heat, skeeters, overdoing self. Steve from Tyler Texas

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks for watching Steve!

[@vitellaj]

Camping with all the comfort of home. I was waiting for you to pull a big patio umbrella out. Love the way you kit everything with useful ideas. The only thing I would add to the carrier is fold out sides as more tables. Keep the videos coming I enjoy them all!

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Oh yes, with a trailer you really can have all the comforts of home! I'm glad you liked it and thanks for watching

[@Jerrylance-ty1re]

Dave, really enjoy your videos, I learn a lot. Hope you fared ok in the storm.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Fantastic to hear that Lisa! We got a lot of rain but luckily very little wind damage. Thanks for watching

[@WayneTheSeine]

Great set up Dave. Your shelter is awesome and the bike came out great. That was a lot of weight in the trailer to be pulling a hill....made me breath hard just watching. Nice looking camp. Good video.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. It toted the weight pretty good until that hill was more than I could pedal. Thanks for watching Wayne

[@jamesflener6889]

Àint much better than breakfast outside!!!

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Absolutely! Thanks for watching James

[@kenshaddix-fz4hw]

Love your camp, nice and complete. You should have had a good sleep but I understand not sleeping well. I see we are the same as in we bring more than needed. But smoothing it, not roughing it.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks Ken, Im glad you liked it. The cot was comfy but I think I was irritated at the dogs and wondering if they would pay me an overnight visit. Luckily they didnt. Thanks for watching

[@yyyyuno]

The mountain bike videos are my favourite. 🙏 Thank you for making such videos. Watching from Shillong, Meghalaya ❤

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Fantastic to hear that my friend!

[@TimmyBobinson]

I love your home made gear. Much more interesting than watching other YT'ers open boxes from China.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. Oh I agree, I'd much rather have homemade one of a kind gear.

[@RoutedOutdoors]

What a sweet surprise to see a new video today. Hope y'all fared well last night. The place you chose to camp looks very pretty. Dumpin and his friends kept Bigfoot away with all their ruckus. -Hollie

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

I'm glad you liked it Hollie! We got lots of rain but little damages and the hurricane has come and gone. Have a great weekend and thanks for watching

[@brendawood8611]

Love every adventure Dave😃😇

Fantastic to hear that Brenda!

[@thekitowl]

Great to see an overnight camp again Dave. Loving the Kelly Kettle, could never cook that gently on my rocket stove ‘s.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. The more I use that kettle the more I understand how it behaves. Thanks for watching

[@BeercanBushcraft]

Good to see you doing an overnighter, enjoyed that 👍 Yeah ,smokes mainly because of the moisture in the wood/bark ,but also very partly because of the 'oil'. All the best to you and yours 🍻 🍻 CHEERS 🍻 🍻

[@tansygirl51]

All day I was thinking it was Friday, when I saw you posted your video I was sure. Stay safe. Love your video.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Lol, I had to upload early due to the hurricane coming in. I'm glad you liked it and thanks for watching

[@Wolverinemark]

Awesome video thanks for suffering for our entertainment. Awesome innovative ideas. Definitely going to try mountain bike camping.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

I'm glad you liked it and great to hear you're gonna give mountain biking a try!

[@Myn6211]

Loved the video Dave. I wasn't to sure that site was going to work out for you when I saw that pack of dogs. At least they had enough sense to leave. I will admit I did a double take when I saw you put your food bag in the tent with you. I was thinking it was a very good thing you don't live in my neck of the woods with bears, wolves, racoons etc. only too happy to make a house call.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks, Im glad you liked it. I probably should have hung my food but I was were there have never been any bears. Thanks for watching

I think the bugs and dogs killed the mood. Lol. Thanks for watching Michelle

I think them dawgs and skeeters got to ya. You don't have that usual joy in your voice. Cheer up, any day camping is a good day.

[@blademan175]

Very nice set up there Dave. Even a buggy, barky, overcast camping trip is an adventure! Only difference I would have made was to put some hot sauce on those eggs!😊. Thanks for filming all that for us, don’t work too hard!

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. I do like a little hot sauce on eggs but, not at camp with no real toilet in case it goes wrong. Lol. Take care and thanks for watching

David, your videos at anytime of the year whether you are on long shifts or without Nick are always a much watch for many of us on Utube. An interesting adventure, uncomfortable weather, noisy dogs and welcome cockerel, pesky insects, not ideal, but the bike, shelter, tables, bed and breakfast made up the positives along with your attitude. Keep making these vids and a big thank you for doing so 😎👍 is snake island still to be revisited in the future?

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! I'm glad you like the videos so much! I was overjoyed at how well the gear worked out. I could have done without the dogs and bugs. Lol. Snake island is always on my mind but it takes forever to get there. Thanks for the comments and thanks for watching

That`s why I never summer camp any more when I did the best we could do was have a fire away from our bed rolls with big pieces of fat wood smokey as could be it helped some could not cook on it to hot to sit next to it.

[@beerhunter272]

Great video Dave! An important one as well. It shows TRUE survival scenarios. Bugs, weather and dogs. There's far too many keyboard commandos that think survival is glorious. IT'S NOT! Mother Nature is cruel and unforgiving. She'll expose all of one's weaknesses and leave the toughest of men crying for their mommies. In a true bug-out scenario, imagine the dogs in packs and they're out hunting for food. There's no break from the bugs and weather. If you don't have proper gear, like what you have, it'll be a short trip. ;) You have a great setup there. You should be proud of all of your achievements. I hope you have many, many more years of enjoyment. Too bad Nick can't join you. There's always going to be a job, but family time is important. Thanks for the awesome video! :)

[@MartysRamblings2024]

Great video Dave and really nice to see a camping one! I don't like hot weather and bugs at all so i rarely go in the woods during summer, muchless camp or overnight. You are a brave man to endure the elements to share with us. I am hoping to do a lot of hikes and maybe a couple of camping overnights this fall and winter. Still warm here in Minnesota but hoping it cools off soon. Anywho, looks like you had a nice morning breakfast and coffee. Nice camp setup! That little table is really cool and would be nice for a hammock set up also Thanks again for sharing!

Awesome vid man. Nice to see a normal old school bike instead of the E- Bike

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it and I love your comment! I get lots of folks saying I should go electric but I honestly don't want to have to deal with batteries and charging. Pedal power never runs out. Thanks for watching Robert

That was a fun trip. Eatting like a King! That trailer can sure carry a lot of stuff!

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. Oh that trailer turned out awesome!

[@brianlykins6663]

Thanks for the video, Dave. The dogs were a surprise for sure. Looks like the bike, trailer, and camp setup looked very good. Might want to throw in some citronella candles to help with the bugs ( if they would work for ya, I've got mixed thoughts on them !). The only thing that would've made breakfast better would've been some hot fresh biscuits. A little harder to do out in the woods. Can be done with campfire and convection oven. But, buddy, eggs and sausage cooked outdoors can't get much better ! Good luck on your upcoming shift work. And I pray y'all will miss the bad weather of the hurricane. God bless y'all and keep y'all safe through the upcoming storms.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

You are very welcome Brian and I'm glad you liked it. Citronella candles probably would have worked but I wasn't expecting so many bugs. The breakfast was delicious! Oh, the hurricane brought lots of rain but very little damage. Thanks for watching and may God bless you too

[@Branden-i6f]

Another great video! I always take ear plugs to the woods to sleep.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks Branden, I'm glad you liked it. Ear plugs would work but I'd much rather hear if something was sneaking into camp

[@kevinstanley5352]

Awesome video as always!!

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks Kevin, I'm glad you liked it

[@thecarlislehomestead]

[@Reallybigmonkey1]
