- One epic and scenic motocamping adventure from Cerro Gordo Ghost Town to the beautiful little town of Lone Pine CA .
I spend the night alone with a new motocamping set up and enjoy the peace and quiet by small stream .
I used to pack mules for Rock Creek Pack Station in those mountains. But I hung up my saddle & bought a EXC. Gonna start enjoying the owens valley myself. Good video man.
Great video. Just stumbled across this as thinking about getting a KLX 300. Keep doing what you do! Yaaasss Gurl!
I heard the Tdub whimpering when you left lol. Very nice camp trip!
Those Mountains 🤩
Pick up the 5 piece Diawa Presso UL and pair it with a tiny Shimano spinning reel and show us some nice catch n release or trout omelette breakfast 😉👍
That sounds awesome
Holy crap that sunrise mountains shot...awesome!
Work sucks. Fishing season starts April 30th, West of 395. Great video!
Ahh, I miss living in Lone Pine. Some nice open country. Too bad I didn't ride back then.
Another great video. Enjoyed the scenery and your place in nature. Thank you.
Merry Christmas Dustin, Some of these older videos crack me up my wife gets pissed at me she ask why do I keep laughing. Watching you drag that tree across the fire when you had a couple of drinks priceless. Also watched the one with you and your Dad riding when you scream when you crash almost as hilarious as when you video tape that guy on TDub and you said I’ll get him on film if he crashes and then he flips over handlebars all fun as long as no one gets hurt
Merry Christmas man and thanks for sticking around this long lol . There will be some more uncontrollable chaos in future videos for sure
Nice! I always enjoy your moto camping videos, it makes me wanna get out but the cascades are pretty snowed in right now.... Looks like a nice spot though. It's getting harder to find a quiet spot these days so I don't blame ya for not sharing. Like I always tell people; Get out and find your own spots, you will have a way more memorable adventure. That's why I started riding, just lookin for a little solitude.
I camp off of 395 once a year. I want to take more trips out there. Maybe long weekends. I have limited vacation time.
Beautiful scenery. Glad your out and about again.
Thanks for the video DD, it felt like we were with you. Your editing is 👍.
Also, Moundhouse doesn't screw up your stomach. It just greases the skids to help the process along.
I wish I can go in a ride with y’all, I don’t drink but love to to have fun out in Gods county , just got my 17 year old son into riding I picked up a old 84 honda xl600r runs perfect I ride that and he rides the DRZ400 s it can take a beating to learn on and he is doing well now after about 5-6 falls already most really slow in sand front tire washes out or breaking to hard coming down a hill not down shifting, I’ll have him ready by summer
lol I think there are very few people who can have as much fun by themselves
I honestly have more fun by myself nowadays lol . I have a small social battery that gets depleted quickly
Awesome video DD! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I can tell you put some time into this / even more time. Great job, man! Just that title @1:04 is impressive.
@8:10 I used to stay at that motel every year. I started taking a picture each year, in the same spot in the lot, to see how I / we changed over time. I love it up there. I lost track of all the East-side of the Sierras I have backpacked.
Nice work on the intro!
Nice video. Man those mountains are majestic!
awesome video Dude
Your videos are really getting better and better with each one. I have a love affair with the Sierra mountains and spent a lot of time backpacking on the trails there this summer. Now that I have a new dual sport motorcycle really want to get up there and explore and camp. That area you are at is about 2.5 hours north of me. Anyway, I'm a retired Marine and never ate crayons because I think that's a thing mostly male Marines do. Heard you mention that on your livestream! Stay away from Mountain House meals. Try Peak Refuel meals they are much better but a little more expensive. Wishing you continued luck on your channel.
Thanks for watching Devil Dog . That's awesome you finally got a bike . There is so many areas to explore on the bike in my area and Lone Pine . I been meaning to try those Peak Refuel's . The price of mountain houses over the years have gone up and I feel like the portions are smaller . I am definitely going Motocamping this weekend for sure .
WOW comment came after you moved and I watched some Washington videos, Enjoy DD
There are some epic creek singletrack backside and south of Toulumne Meadows I think it was called twin lakes??? Outside of Bridgeport anyways.. Has grassland meadows with natural creeks loaded with German Browns and wild Brookies!!! Also has a hot springs surrounded by the Eastern side of Sierra. It’s like Yosemite with no humans 😅.
LMBO today we're going to have at Taco Bell number 7
Cerro Gordo 😂
Great ride! Very peaceful! Can't help but ask.... what cameras and drone do you use?
I got a GoPro hero 8 for the helmet cam and the drone is the DJI Mavic air 2 then I do a lot of shots with my phone , pixel 6 pro
@@dualdorks Thanks buddy! I really do enjoy your rides and adventures!
Only been to cali once and it was near you,
Owens river valley thanks for taking me back there on video
lol
sorry just had to add. Colter Wall is the BEST camping music.
Facts
That was the Japanese memorial for all the American Japanese that were in camps there during WWII
Dope video man, hope to see you post more. Hope you also get some rides up here in NorCal someday, the sierras in Tahoe and the cascades in Shasta are gorgeous. Just curious how come you said your time is limited where you’re at?
I gotta pick orders soon if I stay in the military and go somewhere else
First time visiting your channel. I'm digging it bro, great work. Beautiful out there. What's the setup on your bike without side bags - just tent, bedroll, duffle on a rack with a backpack in front?
Thanks for watching. Basically everything you mentioned and what is in the video is what I got only . I do need to get side racks and soft bags again
What's your longest trip you've taken the bike on? Hows it on the highway. Ok for longer trips?
I rode from Ridgecrest CA to San Diego and back the next day. It was 5 hours each way on highway and interstate. It did well but the being on the bike that long on that seat isn't fun
(00:25:30) Mooo good straight lol
Do you limit your trips to 100 miles? If not, how do you carry extra fuel?
I usually plan it out in advance where there will be a fuel stop but two rides I did I had to carry gas or else I would have been stranded.
Thanks for sharing this video. I just sold my 2020 africa twin 600+ pounds and got a klx 300. The Africa Twin was dangerously heavy and not fun at all off road on rugged or muddy terrain. How is this bike with power when fully loaded ?
You can definitely feel the weight for sure but it's manageable. Not to bad on the road either as long as you are cruising
@@dualdorks thanks bro
Anyone know what tent this is? Looks pretty slick. Compact and fast to setup.
@@dualdorkswow that was fast! Thanks!
Does it keep the rain out pretty good?
@DevDog67 I used it for years and had no issues with it. I did wear it out after 4 years of heavy use and ended up tossing it this spring but for the price it's pretty good. If you are camping in colder climates I'd definitely recommend getting something different though
What seat cover do you use?
It's the mad dog ATV seat cover
What kind of seat is on there
Stock seat with mad dog atv seat cover from Amazon
