ASMR: motorcycle camping. sounds and sights of nature.
GRiNGO = chinese-irish-californian, living permanently abroad ADV = adventure, all things nature - camping, dual sport / trail motorcycles, dogtrekking
ex-fast-paced traveler (more than 60 countries), always with the thought that the memories and experiences were more important than spending the time to document the adventure. now, I appreciate adventuring at a slower pace, relaxing and appreciating the abundant nature around me.
lifelong "non-creative". this is my first attempt at videography / photography.

Peter, thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Your message is timely in that I've been deciding whether to sell my DR350 or do more videos with her! If you haven't already seen my beach moto camping adventure on the DR350, you can check it out here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8ajnn-57drU.html
@@GRiNGO-ADV yes ive seen that one liked it but ive just got my on 1995 dr350se got to fully rebuild it but these bikes are going to be hard to find soon tbey are the best abv bike but not many people make great videos like yours on a dr350
Don't speak Korean. However, I am aware that there is a camping culture in Korea, Japan, etc. Therefore, I use some hashtags. RU-vid selects at random which 3 they put next to the date on my videos.
Great new video! I always appreciate the different kit you bring for your videos. The OCU grill looks intriguing to me. Curious how you like it. Also, the image quality on this video is noticeably improved. New camera gear? How do you like your Deity mic equipment?
Thanks for the love! I've only used the UCO grill this one time. it's the smallest size that they offer (of 3), good for one person/meal. It worked well for me, it's the perfect size folded to fit in my saddle bags and is exactly the right size open to fit 3 of the formed/high performance charcoal that I generally bring 4 of. Starting with High Desert video (previous to this one), I traded the Sony A6400 for a Lumix g9 main camera, the dji spark to dji air 2 drone (huge upgrade), and added an insta360 x3 360 camera to the mix. The deity mics have done me well in general, though I never tried a rode. The mini deity is good for the price. only gave me a little unwanted feedback when I was using the DJI Pocket 2 with the wifi enabled in the beginning. however, the d3 pro is noticeably better, more crisp, better at distance, the powered low cut features take out most low end feedback and I like having the external gain vs needing to adjust in camera. Seemed better cost benefit than the rode alternative. Though if cost is not an issue, most people seem to use the Rode counterpart.
@@GRiNGO-ADV Thanks brother, I really appreciate all of the detail. It appears I need to do some additional research before I make a purchase. Again really appreciate your take on the equipment you’re using. I am looking forward to more new videos with your new gear!
Beautiful piece of video/audio. Thank you for the effort! Pretty sure that was a Red Diamond rattlesnake. They are the most "chill" of the Rsnakes and super plentiful south of the 10 freeway. Still plenty venomous, but not like the Mojave Greens or Pacifics that are both jerks. Your experience is exactly why I don't sleep without a a tent anymore. I used to just chill under the stars, but I had a California King (non-venomous) go up my shorts once while laying on the ground! (I'm on a Husky 701 Enduro. Maybe I'll see you out there 🤙🏻)
Draco, thanks for watching and the detailed comment! though I am from SoCal, I live in Brazil, which is where most of my camping trips/content is made. I was home visiting friends and family when I taped this video. Strangely enough, despite camping mostly in the low rainforest of Brazil, I have yet to come across any predators in 13 years. Perhaps just luck, but I feel like it’s due to availability of easy prey vs the lack thereof in the desert/SoCal. Either way, still won’t be camping without a tent anytime soon! Would love to be on a husky 701, unfortunately they cost upwards of USD$30k here.
This was an entrancing video...the light music, the nature sounds, all the different camera shots you used to show exactly what you were doing to make yourself at home. This was some serious "vicarious living" vibes...really enjoyed it. Looks lilke you put a lot of effort into it and it fully paid off, my man. Very awesome!
@@shitboxshow just shaping the underside to fit the contour of the xf frame. no cutting or welding that I'm aware of, or visibly obvious, but I was not the fabricator...actually there were several over time.
Thanks for all the love! If you've not seen my moto camping adventures in Brazil on my custom XF/DR650 Scarmbler, you check them out here: ru-vid.com/group/PLdWqPlzenkh1o8tkQZSKlS6zRJ_bQmkEL
Hi John, Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! It's funny that most of my adventures/camping is in the low rainforest of Brazil, but I have yet to see a live snake. First time moto camping in California, not too far out of the city, and I see plenty of creepy crawlies!
Look forward to hearing about your DR replacement some day. You had a snake, where I am we have bears. While the wilds are their home, it still doesn't make such an encounter any less harrowing. Gulp.
Still lots of buzz about T7 in Brazil this year, but seeming unlikely at this point. Will at least test ride the new Himalayan, but probably not my bag. Snake was enough to get some adrenaline going given the proximity (6ft), night time, and his size. But, yes could always be worse/something bigger and badder.
Great adventure! I live in Southern Arizona so not too far away from there. I am going to order that camp table and Gerber utensils today. Let me know if you are ever in the Tucson area!
demais mesmo voce estava certo adorei ver voce aqui do lado da minha casa ..sei aonde acampou e tudo mas vou manter o segredo hahahah alucinante o video e a aventura
Thanks mate! appreciate the love! The Husky was just a rental while I was in California. Back in Brazil now. Still deciding what the next bike will be.
Loving it 😊 went out for a days ride today to clock up some break-in milage. Absolutely tipped down with rain haha but the sun came out eventually. It's a different best to the DR so it will take time to adjust.
That dr looks awesome i love my dr so much! I hear the t7 is quite top heavy especially slow offroad its really hard to beat a dr weight/power wise as well as reliability. Id personally keep it
