Haha, you rock dude

[@trikelife4960]

Joe we better be getting some motocamp vids man! Your area is perfect for it! Take care.

[@DorkintheRoad]

Thanks for watching!

[@_JP18]

I love motorcycle channels but yours if the only one where I actually feel so much better after watching your videos. Motorcycles, camping, adventure! And a PMA! Thank you!

[@rkwgoog]

My favourite type of video - riding and camping. I like when you include the camp setup, wood gathering, etc.

[@DorkintheRoad]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@ThreeStreets42]

I didn't think another living person knew the star trekking song..... You sir are a Dork of the highest caliber!

[@DorkintheRoad]

I didn't think another living person would get that reference. Well played, sir.

[@Wuhlz]

The absolute best CRF300L Rally channel out there!

[@ExploreAdventureMoto]

Tim shows up “conveniently” right after the wood is processed and fire is built 😂

[@-SLOTH]

lol, no kidding.

[@dayneeastman1316]

And then eats both steak sandos😂

[@Splintermill]

And the beer run complete!

[@BadDadio]

As the Dork says in another video, "he's the designated fireman".

[@wandering_wodnicks]

I thoroughly enjoy watching these camping videos. Just to let you know you have helped inspire me to get back into the moto camping thing. Thank you for the inspiration.

[@khalahari7629]

I thoroughly enjoy watching Dork gather wood. Riding to camp is funny.

[@SwampGeezer]

I've got to quit watching these when I'm hungry. That steak sandwich, oh my.

[@paulherron4289]

His meal was next level! The dogs looked good but not even close.

[@DorkintheRoad]

Tim doesn't mess around.

[@jasonsherlock2031]

Thumbs up for Timbo's sandwich

[@-SLOTH]

A guy can have a bad weekend, tune in Monday morning and watch a Dork vid, and everything is perfect balance again! Entertaining video Ben. So many one-liners that cracked me up. "Always put your beer on the non-exhaust side, ask me how I know." I need to ride down and winter camp with you guys. That "Grill" Tim brought looks suspect. I think I would lose my cool and lob it far away. 😅😄

[@DorkintheRoad]

Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed!

[@marcusaurelius9736]

1) I hit the like button before Dork got back to camp so his gear would still be there. 2) I really like Dead Guy from the Rogue variety pack at the Eugene Costco. I urge Rogue to continue selling through them.

[@Reaktion280z]

As someone who uses the same grill as Tim three times or so a year, I have to re-learn how to assemble it every single time. That being said, the pack down size can't be beaten. You could stow it in the prison pocket if you're brave enough!

[@ExploreAdventureMoto]

Giant Loop makes some of the best motorcycle beer coolers ever

[@BIKE_BEERS_AND_DEATH_METAL]

[@AwesomePlayers]

Glad your are ok. A small air compressor gives you much more flexibility as you need air to fix flats as well.

[@ozarksbackroads5484]

Mark Twain said if you cut your own fire wood it will warm you twice... :)

[@DirtbikeXpeditions]

Tim’s steak sandwich looked great!

[@trikelife4960]

Been watching Joe for years, super cool he reached out to you. He's definitely been enjoying powersports more and more the past few years. And that little grill Tim brought is a hilarious thing. I watched a pile of reviews before buying one years ago and thought there has to be a reason everyone looks like the black and white f-up scenes in infomercials while trying to assemble it. Finally someone flashed the instructions infront of the camera for 1 second then through them on the table and proceeded to film his struggle for 5 minutes. Step 1 explained everything you need to know. Thread the outer rods in one turn. Then lay the crossbars in. Then tighten threaded bars. It's hilariously simple and easy when you follow the three infographics. Anyways, loved the video and I'm glad you decided to keep doing motocamp vids despite the numbers.

[@DavidJones-si7zh]

Love that you mentioned bruce campbell

[@prodiptoroychowdhury2313]

More camping videos please! These are fantastic!

[@brentmoran3646]

Just watch out for the hairy man. Lucky you put tent up before Stubbys that Ausie's for beers. soon you will have a new language to use. Good footage with snow and riding and you still get the bushes on the side of the road. 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks Internet riding mate.

[@christianmathis516]

Really enjoy your videos Dude. I live in Australia (Sydney NSW) have been riding a road bike (Triumph Bonneville T120) for the past 7 years and seriously thinking of making the leap to an ADV bike (probably a Tiger 900 Rally Pro). its taken me over 20 years to realise how much I have yet to discover with the bush which is literallyunder 45 minutes from where I live. Thanks bro, just keep on doing what you are doing! Christian

[@advmike]

Agreed. Guys in Hi-Viz moto gear don't steal. Scientifically proven fact! 😆

[@CarsonHassler]

"All I will think about till I get back". Boy isn't that relatable...

Classic Dork camping, I love it! By God Tim cooks the best meals!

[@Badhagis]

So, this is like the 50th video of yours that I've watched, and I hope you are getting paid, cause they're awesome!!

It is so awesome having someone to do this stuff with. I live north of Portland and may try to find peeps to do this with down south. Great video!

[@MotocampingMutt]

You sonofa.... Now I got Star Trekkin stuck in my head. Gosh darn it... Thoroughly enjoyed the video, honestly youve inspired me. I go out camping on my bike nearly every weekend, rain or shine. Thanks so much man.

[@DorkintheRoad]

Holy crap I thought for sure nobody would get that reference. Impressive...most impressive...

[@sganzerlag]

This was fun to watch! Thanks for sharing.

[@mitchwiebell2785]

Ben! You have the uncanny ability to turn the somewhat ordinary into the extraordinary!! Thank you! Keep it up…please!

[@johnpagejr.7628]

Hi Ben I just want to tell you this in case you have not seen it yet. MAD TV just put out a review today of the CRF300L Rally and so did Ian. Ian mentioned you in his video. MAD TV review is on a totally moded out bike and Ian's was mostly stock. Both vids where very good. I watched the interview of you with Renegade Revaluation today and that was very good also. I am not sure why camping video's don't do as well as other video's but I like them. They are fun.

[@michaeltait3783]

In flatland Chicago I don’t need to worry too much about downhill brake fade. Hopefully one day will move to the Carolinas where it’s more of a concern.

[@mewoosh]

Bruce Campbell was your #2 "OMG Really" guy?! Awesome. I saw CONGO in theatre. Saw his name in the credits (excited) and then immediately died with his signature scream (shouldaknown!)

[@woundedtiger7547]

You're the best camping buddy get there early get all the wood in are you cooking tonight too? You should play the music to 2001 when you get that fire going like when they discovered fire.

[@myronmyers2969]

Hello Ben really liked the ride to the camp.Your area is spectacular. You and Tim are hilarious together luv the vid made my day much more enjoyable thank you for your efforts. 😊

[@DorkintheRoad]

Thanks for watching!

[@CurtisBlanchard]

Not gonna lie, steak sandwich looked amazing!

[@beetfarmer8933]

The quality of your camera in camp is amazing. I wish the action camera was similar. The adventure getting there is my favorite second favorite part of the episodes. I'm also very much enjoying the CRF300L content. Great stuff.

[@shockrocker976]

For the same reasons people love your videos, I kinda hate watch them. I haven't gotten a chance to go out this year and wont for another month or so. I do one long distance moto camping trip every year. Just makes me REALLY want to go now lol.

[@a.b.m.-adventurebikesmedia2999]

I really like the format of your videos, Ben. This is how I see myself spending my free time. Just a small remark from my end, don't take it as hate or so, but the audio and the video quality of your helmet setup is not great... This is my honest opinion, I am not trying to complain. In 2023 the audience is picky when it comes to picture quality and sound quality, I watched one of your last videos where you were speaking about the different action cameras you've tried, but to be honest GoPro with Media mount and ext. microphone seems best at least for me. And you already purchased all the annoying gadgets to connect the ext. mic, so... Drive safe !

[@DorkintheRoad]

You're not telling me anything I don't already know. The GoPro is fine when it works, but I'd rather have slightly crappier audio than no audio, which happens WAY too often with the GoPro.

[@scudrunneradv3269]

[@doobielawson702]

Done some moto camping, not a fan. But what I do like is camping with while trailering the bikes. We can have a few more creature comforts, and it cuts out a lot of pavement pounding. We have a Dewalt chainsaw that we bring. It's awesome for cutting firewood and way more quiet than a traditional gas saw.

[@WithoutCertainty]

That bike looks on the small side for you. Love the videos, Dork 👍

Yeah I only bought ice because I was at the store anyway. I definitely should have thought of the snow thing. It would have made for better video!

[@NunyaBusiness...]

@@DorkintheRoad Next paycheck that's the plan! On the GL website I don't see it as an option, so is it just automatic when you buy the black tank bag?

Morgan Freeman here. You need to reposition the wood or move the rock you're cutting on so the piece you want falls away from the cut instead of pinching the blade. I learned that researching a part for my next movie where I play a lumberjack 👍🏾

Tim brings an abacus on which to grill his Ruth's Chris side of beef for a steak sammie. Perfect. Although, I'm more inclined to do the Johnsonville brats because I'm selectively ambitious and too hungry to care about dinner etiquette. Calories are king. Always appreciate your morning camping perspectives. No Mr. Puff Puff this time? BTW, which GL bag was that?

Timing didn't work out for the ol' Puff Puff sadly. I like to smoke them after dinner but we had dinner pretty late. That's the Giant Loop Great Basin.
