That first cup of coffee in the morning in the woods is the best. Many years ago when I was a teenager my Dad and two uncles went on a camping fishing trip. We were up at daylight to go fishing. My Uncle went to make coffee using the old drip coffee maker when he realized he had forgotten the filters. Without hesitation he took one of his socks and used it as a filter. I didn't ask if it was clean or dirty but that was the best cup of coffee I ever drank.

[@ridetofood]

🧦☕️ sock coffee! Haha what a great story!

[@Briefcase217]

Love the firewood hanging off the back of the bike! Thanks for the reviews.

[@Old-Biker-Dude]

As always, what a great job. My wife and I await each of your videos and watch them all. Sweetie, you do such a great job as an orator and narrator. It's a goood thing you aren't a 'Used Car Saleperson' LOL. Heck, I'd buy a junk heap from you and pay top dollar. LOL That sweet little smile would get em every time!!! Your filmography skills are amazing. I wish I had a fraction of that ability, my boring old videos on my channel wouldn't be so dull. Keep up the good work, sweetie. Next time you're down near the Smokies, I'd still love to cook you up a gourmet campsite meal. Stay safe out there.

[@MidLifeStyleTwins]

Your videos are not boring!

I agree with the etiquette never bring a guitar or radio to a camp. For humid camping, try something like Prana stretch pants instead of jeans. They dont hold moisture as bad.

[@ridetofood]

Thanks Wayne!

[@MidLifeStyleTwins]

Grew up in that area. My favorite park for sure! We have walked all the trails in that park.

I appreciate your sacrifice of camping in crappy weather to showcase some cool gear. Between the heat and humidity, summer is easily my least favorite season. I didn't know you had a fancy website; I look forward to checking it out.

Once again love the video and how you effortlessly blend brutal honesty and humour while still having fun. 😄 I see others are waiting for more Pan America videos, now that HTW has one maybe you can borrow it. 😎 Keep up the awesome work. I don’t know how you manage to travel, film, edit and still make the occasional guest appearance while running a business. But we are all glad you do. 😎

Hahaha, Jess and I are great friends, but I don’t anticipate asking to borrow her brand new bike for any amount of time anytime soon. Fingers crossed I own my very own PanAm sooner rather than later! 😊

[@AlexOnABoat]

An open field with no privacy pretty much sums up the British camping experience, so watching this, with you sitting in the dappled sun, with plenty of space always makes me feel more than a little bit jealous. I still can't work out how you pack it all away, I'm sure I take less but end up with bigger bags, stuffed full. Maybe I take too many clothes?

[@ridetofood]

I’ll be making a packing video soon!

[@AlexOnABoat]

@@ridetofood that'll be interesting. Years ago I went backpacking round Oceania with a female friend. I couldn't work out how it was I had an 80 litre backpack and hers was only 60 litres when she clearly had more clothes than me. So we made two piles and at that point I realised almost every piece of clothing she had with her had less volume, was made of thinner material and folded to half the size. And I'm sticking to that to explain why I've got such huge bags strapped to my bike compared to yours.

[@Rad_Rider]

I’ll look to see if you put out a video on how you pack your bike. If not pleeeease yes 🙌🏼. My kinda riding always 🌄

Yep! Cleaning supplies are in my little STS camp kitchen tool kit! 😊🤘

[@MrRobertoa1]

I love your videos 📹. I take notes of the places you visit so I can check them out on my own. I have a question for you. Do you pack up your campsite when you leave to see the sights or leave your tent up while you are gone. I usually leave my tent and stuff and bring my valuables with me. What's your take?😊

[@ridetofood]

I never leave anything out in the open. And yes I will often take things with me that are of value!

[@MrRobertoa1]

@ridetofood do you leave your tent up or or do you take it down? When I was in the Boys Scouts, we left them up. I'm asking because times have changed 😕.

[@IndianJill]

Love your content! I am curious what cooler bag/cooler setup you use and how well you like it. I have done 1 moto camping weekend and that was something I think I need vs buying a foam throw away when I get there. TIA

[@ridetofood]

I have a few different coolers but the one I use the most is from Igloo and is called the "packable puffer." they used to sell them at REI but haven't for a few years. Ice Mules are also really popular amongst motorcyclists. I own one and like it! It just doesnt pack down as small as the puffer, so I tend to go with that. If you need something more durable that can survive on the back of a motorcycle for long periods of time, the Ice Mule is a much better choice than the Puffer bag. I only strap the Puffer to the bike when im close to camp and have stopped to grab a few things.
