I'm about to head out on my very first Backcountry Discovery Route motorcycle camping adventure, and I've spent a bunch of time figuring out exactly what motorcycle camping gear I'm going to take on this week-long adventure. If you're headed out for a BDR and wondering what's on my BDR gear list so that you can get some ideas, check out this video and the full motorcycle camping gear list (with links) in the description. Every item of motocamping gear in this video is something I've used, tested, and that I recommend. If I didn't, I would not be taking it on the Washington BDR.
It took me some time to figure out what to bring on a BDR, so if my BDR gear list can help anyone else out, then I'm happy to share it.

"It weighs nothing." The saying in the Infantry (and backpacking) is ounces become pounds, pounds become pain. All of those lightweight items can add up. I totally understand some luxuries, we all bring things we don't HAVE to have. But being aware of where those sacrifices are being made will make the overall trip more enjoyable. Sometimes it's also a case of having the space and wanting to fill it. Having 150 liters of storage makes it more justifiable, you even say you have the space so you're bringing it. I find limiting the amount of space I have makes me more focused on what I really need. I would be curious if you ever weighed everything you packed onto the bike?

@L--Z 2 года назад

A great benefit of longer trips is that you can mail home (or mail ahead) unwanted gear.

@ridgetop8161 2 года назад

Definitely, as a long distance packer, I figured if I could get pack plus all gear (not including water) under 35 pounds and still be comfortable, I'd be cheering. Not always doable, but was always my goal. On my motorcycle, every pound and the placement of every pound affects the handling. So I still try to reduce it just for that reason. Oh, and for picking up the bike which is guaranteed I'll dump at some point.

@Chad-wb7du 2 года назад

Let’s all just say it. Dork is obsessed with camping gear 😂. “Have the room and therefore I will take it” can be dangerous!

@deanjustice6701 2 года назад

Wow, that's quite a bit of stuff. Let us know how it works out, and if you would change any gear items, add/leave behind, when your trip is over.

@MADDOG100ful Год назад

That is a lot of gear!

@BigRockMoto 2 года назад

Only 2 pillows? I bring at least 4.

@thegracefulrenegade 2 года назад

Seven

@jonlongmire 2 года назад

Wow, that is a lot of stuff. I suggest that you keep a list of what you use and, especially, what you don't use. Chances are you can trim your gear down a bunch before your next trip. Above all, have fun!!!

@ISPhotographic 2 года назад

Yeah it’s too much.

@Backroad_cruising 2 года назад

I would probably add a tow / recovery rope and some carabiners if things really go sideways.

@ericnphx5585 2 года назад

Good Luck and have fun on the WABDR. I can't wait for your next gear video titled.. "Things that I brought on a BDR that I didnt need" or a video called "Man my bike is Heavy!!! Looking forward to watching your trip!! Ride Safe!!

@slickcraft241 2 года назад

We just did the wa bdr a few weeks ago. Epic time with good friends! Highly recommended! Have fun dork! 👍

@unclebadger597 2 года назад

🏍️💨 last moto camping trip made me realize that I'm much more into moto hoteling 😄 Got my first tick and I'm still healing from chigger bites 😐

@L--Z 2 года назад

Careful with tick bites, Lyme disease is no joke.

@Crittermoto 2 года назад

Looks like you have all the bases covered. Good load out👍🏻 You guys will have a blast on the WABDR and it looks like you’re going to have stellar weather for it too!

@sdmotor 2 года назад

A quick video of you packing all that would be awesome. Love your channel.

@ArmyOfZin 2 года назад

Wow! Reminds me of my first BDR. I took way too much stuff, but I still had a great time.

@jetsen0 2 года назад

"But I have room so I'm taking it." 😂 Only funny because I hear myself saying the same while packing.

@NANA-qn8on 2 года назад

Man, that's alot of stuff to ride with. 575 lbs with 901? I'll stick with my backpack and Beta 500--RR-S. Good luck and travel safe.

@jeffgoldsmith1679 Год назад

I know this was 7 months ago but your list is good for me, thanks. Heading to Georgia for a 3 day off-road riding course then out west to a National Park on my new Aprilia Tuareg 660 for a week to 10 days. But Im towing it from my tripped out 4Runner and set up a base camp at each destination. I have a fair amount of on-road and a little off- road on my KTM 390 in another country. Really looking forward to learning and practicing. I enjoy your videos and big rock Moto (Ian) and others. You all inspire this old man.

@russellborn515 2 года назад

I just did 10 days on the Oregon BDR, had a pretty similar load. Instead of a warm jacket I stole your blanket/pancho idea, my buddies found it both cool and hilarious. I like your little table, may have to grab one of those.

@MeasureInGrains 2 года назад

It'd be nice to what all this weighs together. Knowing what weight it is will help people plan what to go with. Seems like a good setup, but 50lbs, or 150lbs. My suspension would like to know.

@jcyoho31 2 года назад

It weighs "practically nothing"

@csiautodetail 2 года назад

@@jcyoho31 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@Liberty4Ever 2 года назад

That's a lot of stuff! I try to moto camp the same way I did when ultralight backpacking or mountain biking or kayaking. It looks like you filled 150L of storage. I carry a 66L dry bag on the pillion and rear rack, and no panniers. I wish I could find a taller 80L roll top dry bag that had a slightly smaller footprint that has tie downs on the bottom of the bag so I can open the bag easily when it's on the bike.

@PBstx1100 2 года назад

It’s sad that the internet is so toxic that you have to explain in detail why you are taking things that aren’t “necessary”. Great video!

@L--Z 2 года назад

With unused luggage capacity, packing up seems easier and you can give your down items more room to loft which improves their lifespan.

@woundedtiger7547 2 года назад

Love the picture of you with the Pancho. Looking good Bruhilda.

@cyabaib 2 года назад

Great video!!! I wonder if you/he will ride a few days with all the gear on his bike before heading out to get used to it? Would love to see a video after the trip with what you wish you had, what you are glad you had, and what you didn't need/would change.

@michaelorhan1842 2 года назад

Wow. You must have been really comfy on that trip! We did Chelan into Canada a few weeks ago and hotel’ed for those nights. Still felt like we had too much gear, haha. Hope you had fun! Doing the ORBDR this fall, hopefully. Might bring the camp gear on that one. Thanks for posting!

@airmotivewelding8012 2 года назад

Really looking forward to this content!!! Work keeps me on the day ride only. Hope your ride is brilliant!!

@SticksAandstonesBozo 2 года назад

I’m very close to having all my gear. I think the only thing I have left is a back packer chair. The jetboil minimo is a game changer that’s for sure.

@finnblackburn9583 2 года назад

It's nice to see an effort made in terms of bear safety but unless you're hanging the dry bag 12 feet up and 6 feet out from a tree trunk it's not great practice. You'll eventually have a bear get into that bag if you leave it unattended and cause problems for the next person that comes through, it's not a bad idea to use a bear canister, if you can fit a few luxury items then one more safety item will fit too.

@thegracefulrenegade 2 года назад

Dude the poncho - I’m a huge fan

@ADVzac 2 года назад

Dork, can you make a video where the complete opposite would occur. In which a guy on his bike on a BDR could take a tarp and a blanket and eat only dehydration meals or something of that sort. It would be a really cool extreme! minimalist! BDR! Ok cool, thanks.

@DorkintheRoad 2 года назад

Minimalist is not really my style.

@eddcurry1245 2 года назад

Lotta stuff there mr dork

@stephtraveler7378 2 года назад

Basically gear up like an ultralight hiker. Its the only way to learn how little you can live on provided you have the right equipment.

@larryhosek6554 2 года назад

This is some nice stuff 👌 have a good time. How about doing a ebay moto camp kit and using it on a weekend trip id love to see you do that when you get back. Be safe

@pajo2460 2 года назад

Thanks Ben have a safe trip rubber side down

@ogilvie1231 Год назад

“In here is where I’ll pack the 42” tv. Since I have room I’ll also be bring the Xbox and two recliners.”

That’s a ton of gear. I agree with Meerkat on this one.

@tangoreal9098 2 года назад

Take a 21"tube it fits in front and rear Dont worry about offset valve its rubber it will stretch

No winch/come-along? Northern tool makes a miniature one.

Green Chile Adventure Gear offers a US made recovery system made of webbing and little pulleys, about three pounds.

@ianferrier235 2 года назад

Want to see it loaded up 👍🏻👍🏻

@davidc1961utube 2 года назад

I wonder what you do for water. We use a gravity filter to keep out girardia, etc. Diarrhea and motorcycle riding gear is a panic inducing combo. Also, does that strap bag have a tow strap, or maybe you tie the gear down with a tow rope? Hope your trip goes well. Saw that you lost a guy, and hope for no more of that!

@dave09650 2 года назад

Have fun. looking forward to vids.

@bobwampler3387 2 года назад

Have you reviewed the Otzi stove? I’m not seeing it. Maybe that’s why you have it on the trip.😁

@grandiagod 2 года назад

This seems like it would be good for BDRs, the TAT, and probably a nuclear apocalypse too!

@tenover Год назад

Thanks for this video. I'm preparing for an ORBDR/WABDR trip next month with some buddies, and this helps me a lot to prepare! It seems that that Tusk battery charger is discountinued, but I'd love to bring something similar, any recommendations?

@ericredpath3908 2 года назад

Good luck on your trip Ben, I like all your gear and although you " have room " I'm concerned you may be to heavy! Did you even weigh all that gear? I like to bring luxury items also but a humidor? Really?... I would also have picked the hatchet or saw but not both. But to each their own , ride safe and enjoy!!

@DorkintheRoad 2 года назад

If you know a better way to keep cigars from getting crushed in my panniers, I'm all ears. I almost pulled the hatchet out but it weighs so little I didn't think it was worth dropping.

@stefaneulenstein 2 года назад

HAVE FUN!!!

@URBANAMERICANTAC 2 года назад

man, Thats a lot of stuff. I thought I was being excessive with 70 litters.

@keesverhagen9227 2 года назад

Hello mr. Dork, Again thanks for your video about the gear. I also am a gear nerd. But luckely over the years i only have a few things changed in the past ten years. My bikes are but not so much my gear. I have a question about tankbags. I finally have my Norden. Allready have a sw-motech tankbag. A gs version. But their are no tankrings for it. There is a new tankring. But i find it so strange. Cause with it the tankbag is almost 20 cm above the buddysit. In place facing the sky the tankbag is facing towards you with an angle. I think that it is impossible to do riding while standing. What do you think ? I really like to have a tankbag while on vacation for my daily stuff. But with this bike it seems not possible. Greetings from the Neherlands,

@DorkintheRoad 2 года назад

I just did the entire WABDR with a Giant Loop Diablo tank bag. It worked great. Highly recommended

@garygardner9677 2 года назад

150L is a lot of room. Space is great but what is the weight of your overall load?

@davidsizemore2745 2 года назад

Six cigars that's rookie numbers lol.

@HoHoMoto 2 года назад

@wandersofp 2 года назад

Lmao 150liters.. yeah you will find a way to fill the "room" I'd ditch the campfire thing, hatchet.. few other things.. can also see what other folks you are riding with will have so yall don't gotta bring extras

@yourdady83 2 года назад

I need a shovel

@drifterdave01 2 года назад

Sorry dude but you could reduce this by about 35%. Must be some light trail work.

@Blindranger 2 года назад

Good lord, 150L of gear? Have fun with that shit. All of those luxuries at the camp will make the bike handle so poorly on the trail. Honestly, you should try to get it down to under 80L, which shouldn't be hard since you have so much redundant gear. Remember Light is Right!

@DorkintheRoad 2 года назад

Thank you. I did have fun.
