Montana | Remote Forest Camping 

Website for this video: www.norenfilms.com/videos/riding-solo-12-lewis-clark-national-forest-montana/

I have watched this video several times. It gets better and better. I think was on the trip .

That BMW you have is one of the best bikes for traveling on long trips ever made,.... Had a BMW R90S bought brand new in 1975,.. Sold it 6 years later had sellers remorse for several months,.. Had 189,000 miles on it From Vancouver BC to Key West Fl. Never gave me any trouble.

Wow - sometimes the ol' algorithm gets it right! Love this video. Can't wait to watch more. Great trip!

Cold beer, a hot meal and a comfortable bed. Yes. That’s it. Loving these videos.

Always solo ride ,your pace ,your peace.😎

Learning to “suffer” and then having the inner calm to work through it.

The amount of work you put in recording these shots...I know what it takes, so you have my respect. Very well done, keep it up!

I'm enjoying each episode immensely and learning so much from you. Thanks for bringing us along 🙂.

I watch a lot of "moto-vlogging" on RU-vid and often contemplate if I have the financial means or commitment to try it for myself, but your videos truly are mini-movies and show that there are levels to how committed one can be to the presentation. Twelve episodes in and I realize that while you shoot video, that you don't talk while riding but give us updates throughout the video. Thanks for sharing your adventure with us. Godspeed!

I am a whopping three minutes into this video and I am absolutely blown away by the cinematography and audio quality! BRB, checking your description for the gear you’re using!

Amazing!!! Love from India 🇮🇳

Well said I love adventure Moto camping. I embrace the suck because it is still living my dreams. Thanks for the video!

The funny thing about those "uncomfortable situations" we run into when out on our adventure trips, it seems like hell when we are going through them, but when we remember those times, we miss them, and want to do it again. Sounds like you were doing a lot of soul searching that night. It's a good thing, and keeps us centered in our lives.

At 10:22 "You need to learn how to suffer." You are absolutely right about that my friend!!!

I really enjoy your videos. Thank you so much.

when my kids are out of the house and thru with college, i will retire and do some of this type of motorcycle adventuring. but for now, i have to watch others do this stuff and ride my mid size naked around on nice weekend days. my dad was able to hike the entire AT when he was my age (early 50s). this was right before youtube where a NYC local paper funded his 3 month hike in exchange for his journal writing he mailed in at many of the check points/posts along the trail.

Fantastic Video! I was cracking up with the background noise. Lol

Sounds like youre camping near the most remote school! 😂

Really enjoying these videos. I am from the UK with a dream of touring the USA and camping, but ive never camped before. Cannot wait. These videos are soo inspiring. The past few days that ive been watching your videos, its felt like ive been on holiday with you. Ive had an awesome weekend without even leaving my home 😁 thankyou so much!

Great video, thanks for sharing this experience. I just got back from a 2 week (truck camping) adventure out west. I have an adventure bike, might need to look at this next time!

Can't wait for the Montana BDR to come out, i'll be doing it the summer it releases

Thanks for these great videos of the US. Amazing beauty. All the best from New Zealand.

I enjoyed this a lot and will watch more. Thanks for bringing us along.

Your inspiring me to just get on my beemer and run !!!

Gimme More ! Fabulous

this inspired me so so so much , guess some day I will do the same thing, thanks for sharing .

Enjoying the videos a lot. Thanks for sharing 👍

We camped at Big Timber this summer along with the Pioneer Scenic Byway. I've we done thousands of off pavement miles in MT and it's a favorite r III d IU Ng area for me.

Excellent video and details on your motorcycle travel videos! You take the time to discuss your thoughts and experiences along your journey and at each campsite. The videography work details from a "viewership" perspective. Keep them coming and ride safe Sterling!

Love your daily updates! You are living a dream!

I really enjoy this series of videos! As I watch them, I keep asking myself if I could do a long solo trip! Guess I will find out in 2021! Thanks for sharing!

First time viewer... Loved the video. Your trio of comforts are trifecta! I ride a harley, and range a little up in the hills. Nothing to crazy, but memorable. Smoothing it, is the way to go... thanks for the video!

You might consider a portable electric bear fence when predators abound. A compact 2.4 lbs for huge peace of mind.

I love the unvarnished reality! This is great stuff!

I love using my wood stove. It’s very light, packs up small and can function as a mini fire pit or for cooking. Not as fast as a jet boil, to boil water, but whose in a hurry when camping? Ok maybe in the morning for coffee :). No need to buy and carry all those canisters. Of course i always bring an alcohol stove in case there isn’t wood available or if it’s to wet. I usually like a table too :)

Thanks Mr Sterling.. good video, appreciate all your work..

Awesome 👍👍👍

Top class. Yeah maybe just add water meals are ok but i sure liked the way you done the steaks before. Will give it ago went biking next year. Best of luck from Ireland

Just found your channel and subbed. Love the sites , scenes and shots. Nothing like camping in the back country. Thanks for the work on this!!

I'm enjoying this series. Great job. I like your filming style. Hope to get out 2021.

Vindaloo with bread or rice!!! Lip smacking... 😊

I have a gsi table I never use it anymore I use a folding stove shield on top of my polar cooler it sets up higher and the plus’s is I as well have my cooler.. my wood stove is little heavier but it’s very compact has more surface to cook on.. I gotta start making videos

Great videos, seem like you had a great time with your bike. Enjoyed it a lot. Greetings from El Salvador. I you ever make a trip to Central America... we have very nice places to ride, great weather and nice people. Give us a call.

First Adventure motorcycle vlog I have seen of yours. Loved it! I had a complaint half way through....why isn't he cooking steak or something....and then you explained it! Love it!

Nothin more romantic than having a Delhi belly after hot indian food in the woods, just kidding haha.. great content, kind of calming. Save travels

I was watching thinking man a bear could rush out at any time but it was worse.... KIDS 😂

Surprised a grizzly didn't emerge while you were fussing with the table and stove!

I find my new fav channel. Regards from Chile!

Just came across the channel.. Looks great. But I ride a Vulcan 1200... And trust me.. stoping every 90 miles to buy 3 gallons of fuel sucks ass! Do your math and research for fuel stations. Most bikes get great mileage, but if you're on a cruiser, yeah.. you're needing fuel every 90 miles.

You had some noisy neighbors! Looks like a great site.

That was fun, Any issues with the nobbies on asphalt in the rain? thanks

Cool.

Cheers, Sterling! I’ve been watching this series since day one, and I look forward to every upload. I’m really enjoying the content, and I really appreciate all the extra effort you’ve been putting into the production value. The edits, extra audio (like the motorcycle engine noise passing under the drone shot), different angles, establishing shots, and visual story telling doesn’t go unnoticed. I know you’re a professional filmmaker and it definitely shows through in the videos. If you don’t mind, I’m going to be making a short Vlog style video highlighting your adventure to hopefully get more motorcycling community eyes on your channel. Hopefully it’s ok if I use a couple short clips of your content in my video (credit obviously given). Let me know. I’m a big fan. Ride safe, and keep the rubber side down! Looking forward to what you bring us next. -OR

cool!!

Your videography is really good. What drone are you using?

You are awesome man ❤️👍 Love from India #indiawithjoel

New subscriber here Sir

🇧🇷

Am I the only one cringing from the fire on the fancy table...

Hardly sounds remote at all!!??

You can use one motorcycle case for a chair and another for a table.. Or hammock as a chair and both cases for a bigger table.. But i guess it doesn't give the feeling of being civilised.. So the conclusion is..if you want a good civilised feeling, add extra unnecessary waight to your motorcycle for a better trip and off-road handling...

Okay surely I’m not the first to ask. Why do I hear children talking in the background?

Binging this series of yours and loving it. One obvious comment, why the F do some people go out in the wilderness to scream at the top of their lungs. They have ZERO regard for everyone else. Wish a type of Steven King book would occur right then and those people turned into stone for your stay.

the "wild solo magic" was broken at the kids sounds....

This is living folks, you ever get down in life go buy a tent and bike and hit the road

Our term in the military for dealing with uncomfortable situations was "embrace the suck"!

What you say about "smoothing it" reminded me of being deployed overseas and how it was living out of a rucksack or a humvee, moving from place to place and living in the open or in half built (or bombed) structures.... and how really nice it was when we were able to make a morning coffee or enjoy a meal or make a warm comfy hooch. It's amazing how a morning, MRE-inspired cappuccino -- i.e. canteen water, two hot chocolates, two sugars, two non-dairy creamers and two folgers instant coffee packs -- heated over a fire or a hiker's stove would make all the previous discomfort bearable. No adventure worth having is comfortable all the time... but if it can be some of the time.... count me in.

There's just something soothing about these videos! They're great!

It feels like we're sitting across the fire from you, love this style of presentation. Ready for the next one!

Such awesome insight! I'm really enjoying your videos! Quite fulfilling on several levels 👍

Keep the camping and cooking segments going; I’ve been doing this for 66 years and enjoy watching others enjoying the same. After all those years, I still find new fresh ideas . Thank you.

I know he's cringing everytime someone yells in the background or a baby cries lol

Beware of bears and wolves while you sleep. They will tear you up

After a while you learn not to care wether you’re grubby a bit sore etc look on the bright side you don’t have to wake up for work that would help me 👍

Great videos. Can’t help but think about Montana apex predators out & about in his adventures especially at higher elevations in the middle of Nowhere, Montana. Sleeping in a hammock, seems like easy pickings for a hungry bear or mountain Lion.

I'm enjoying your ability to do what you do. I'm sure its quite challenging. I don't think I would do well after a few days of that life style. I subscribed so I can follow your adventures.

He is not really alone there....some noise of people can be heard🤔

Great vid, dude. In grizz country I would carry my gun with me at all time,that bear is going to smell your good cooking, and that deep into the woods could be disaster. Anyways your alot fun to watch, be careful.

All us former and active military members have a saying when the current situation sucks, you "Embrace The Suck"!

Great filming and talking.. As someone who solo travels a lot also. I like what you said about enduring the suffering. Its definitely not for everyone. And lots of ups and downs along the way. But those low moments makes you appreciate the highs so much more.. Ride on Man... Subbed !!!

Man, the way you didn't level the little table drives me NUTS! :) Outside of that - really cool drone shots.

how come around 15:00 i hear kids and yelling in background? Is this in back country or a campground?

Man kinda a bummer to travel 30 miles into the wild and have to listen to all that background noise from other campers.. I know I love just the sounds of the wild when unwinding from my ride.. but all part of the adventure can’t have it all... right ! .. lol

Sometimes the food tasted so good because where we choose to eat, I plan to ride solely in the near future when the weather permitted. Listened to your words, I learn how to accept life and we can do our best to live on our dream. Wish you be heathy and peace. Thank you.

Sounds like camping in a campground. Noisy remote place!

The illusion of deep wilderness camping spoiled by the sounds of young families in the background. Nice video angles and continuity of the story.

...cold beer, hot meal, and a comfortable bed.... right on! Just found your channel. Really enjoy your content.

It would appear that "remote" means different things to a swede and a yank... :D Nice trip nonetheless. Cheers mate.

Must have spent more time going back after the camera than going forward

When considering any adventure; how do you overcome adversity without the adversity?

Just subbed my friend. Love the vid and thanks for the micro table tip - Ima get me one of those!

Suffering builds character. That's what I'd tell my mountaineering clients when it was 0, snow blowing sideways, toes frozen. Type II fun. Loving the journey so far Sterling.

Cool man, love your honesty, I’m 56 and have done many camping adventures, a pick up truck and simple high top aluminum camper to a van camper to a 37 foot motor home ( that sucked) and was a lesson learned, simple is better by far and now I just ordered a Royal Enfield Himalayan adventure bike and really can’t wait to get out there because a motorcycle takes you to almost unlimited places where a motor home or truck camper or van camper can’t take you, I’ve been worried a little about my age and aches and pains and stiff back etc but hey we only live the life we choose, thanks for your video and your positive words.

I went on my first long trip journey from east coast to Arizona never regretted it

I love riding as well. I do have videos on my own channel but I do not have good quality of videos yet. Wishing I could also get a new camera for my rides. Might buy next year. Great camera shots on your videos sir. Great MC too. I have a suzuki gsx-s 150 CC. I also ride solo most of the times.

Remote forest camping, kids making noise in the background!

Did someone told you that you look alike Alpacino :D Joke apart, Cinemography is amazing. inspired me to do the camping on my bike too. Nice vlog, keep it up. cheers.

This video was very enjoyable. I got a lot to learn from your camping video. I should go camping soon. Vikash sain, Rajasthan , India

SO MUCH camera (flying camera aka drone) work went into making this video THUMBS UP
