Glad it was helpful! Enjoy your ride!

@@wanderbynature2508thanks. I subscribed to your channel. Hope to see more moto videos in the future. For now I’ll catch up on the ones you have

Thanks for watching and commenting. You're right, a camper van is a good alternative to a truck camper but within the context of this video, I would say it has some similarities to a motorhome also which has the main disadvantage of once it is all set up you are left without transportation or having to break everything down to run into town for groceries. As for the drivetrain for a truck camper, the camper itself does not have a drivetrain (as don't travel trailers or 5th wheelers) and since many truck camper owners drive a truck already, my point was that they don't have an "extra" driveline to maintain as they would with a motorhome or camper van that doesn't serve as primary transportation. To be honest, the "extra" drivetrain to maintain is a small issue in my opinion but something to consider, especially if you don't live close to a facility that can service a big motorhome.

Thanks for watching and for the kind words. It's always nice to get positive feedback. Have fun out there on the water.

Thanks for watching. This is definitely a great starter trip. I would recommend going when the weather is cooler though. Also, note that November and December are hunting season. For that reason, I usually plan a trip here between the months of January through April.

Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed it!

Have fun!

Would love to join but have to work this week and already have plans this weekend. Anyway, enjoy and stay safe!

Glad you enjoyed the video. I would suggest that you plan a trip for January through March or April. Too hot and too many bugs and snakes in the summer and hunting season starts in the fall (I prefer not to be backpacking through the woods during hunting season).

Glad you enjoyed it. Have fun on your trip!

Not a bad idea. Especially on tighter trails.

@@wanderbynature2508 We started riding at SHNF in the early 1970's. Great place!

Have fun!

Camera is a GoPro Hero 8 Black and the drone is a DJI Mavic Air 2.

Enjoy when you get out there.

I would say roughly 10 miles to the dam and around 15 miles to the Spillway Channel Rec Area.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you

Yep, now is the time to do this. Enjoy.

Thank you

I do get some bounce but not much and not enough to damage the fender. However, it does block most of the light from my headlight when I use the high beam. I was riding down a dark, poorly maintained road one night and took the tool bag off of the fender to I could use my high beam. I plan to add some driving lights to get around this in the future.

Have fun!

This would be a good time of year for a ride. If you make it down, have fun. I'll look for you if I get out there.

Glad you enjoyed the video. Perhaps it will give you another reason to visit home soon.

Glad you enjoyed the video. Yes, we do have it pretty good here in the US for fishing. What country are you from?

Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks for the kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

Check the video I made on what I am calling ETBAR (East Texas Backroad Adventure Route). I have a GPS trac, Google Map, and a link to a spreadsheet with turn by turn directions including GPS coordinates and mileage. Enjoy!

Sounds good. Be safe and have fun.

While I was discovering the area and mapping out the ride I call ETBAR (East Texas Backroad Adventure Ride), I camped one night at Bouton Lake. Cool place. I had it all to myself. I also made a video and provided maps and a GPS trac for the ETBAR if you want to check it out.

There is cell service but it is spotty.

You can absolutely do all of this in a full-size rig except for one obstacle which is on FS 333E. To bypass this, in the spreadsheet I provided, on row 87, instead of turning right on 352A/FS 333, turn left and go to 306 and turn right on 306 which will take you to 54 which basically puts you on row 90 of the spreadsheet. This only cuts out about 6-7 miles. I hope that helps. Enjoy yourself out there.

@@wanderbynature2508 Thank you sir, we will try it soon.

Glad you like the video. I went in January. January and February have lots of days in this part of Texas with low's in the 40's and high's in the 60's which is perfect for backpacking. Have fun on your trip.

Glad you enjoyed the video. Be safe out there.

I included a link to a GPS track (which is a GPX file) in the description.

Thanks. Seems like there are endless uses for buckets.

Finding firewood wasn't an issue. There was plenty of deadwood on the sandbars. Have fun on your trip!

Thanks for the response!@@wanderbynature2508

Good!

Glad it was helpful! Be safe and have fun when you get out there.

Have fun!

Thanks!

I don't know of a specific route in the DFW area but I imagine if you do a search on Google or CZcams for North Texas adventure routes or motorcycle camping or something like that you will probably find some good info. on rides in your area.

Thanks for watching and commenting and may God bless you as well.

I'm glad you liked it. Good luck with your build.

That's a really good question. When I was little, my parents had a truck camper and me and my siblings rode in there all of the time. I would probably let my children ride back there. It really wouldn't be any different than riding in a motorhome which my children have done many times. But I would probably have an adult ride with them just to make sure they don't do something silly and potentially dangerous.

@@wanderbynature2508 is it possible to have the place cooled.?

Yes, the camper has an AC unit on top. It keeps the camper very cool.

Enjoy!
