Hello from finland. We also have the right to roam. But still I got woken up by some pissed off raindeer as I had blocked their path with my camp.

😂 Yeah I’ve had a few run-ins with animals too 😅 But unless they are bears or wolves it’s not really an issue. I still have not camped in Finland. Guess I have to do something about that 😝

I am an expat living in Estonia and here we also have the right to roam and there are so many beautiful and well equipped public camping spots available. I used to ride a small motorcycle in my home country but it has been more than three years and now I want to get a motorcycle and go on a long road trip across Europe.

Last year we did the Baltics, and also visited north east Estonia and did 4 days wild camping in row there. Till some local boys told u that we could run in to bears, wolfs and foxes. So we moved further up north to the Gulf of Finland and had some great days of wild camping near the sea. We mostly visit countries were they have ""allemansrätten".

@RobertNiewenhuis Yes, in northeastern estonia, mostly in the Ida-Viru area, there are wolves and bears, which is why I usually choose to camp near the public campsites. So far, I have only encountered foxes two or three times, but there are cabins in the Ida-Viru area from where you can put some food outside and see the bears from the cabin.

As a Swede who loves camping with a bike and spent 3mths in western USA last year I actually found it to be very easy to do free camping in the west. Federal Land, and Forests, allows free camping within certain rules. I camped solo a lot in bear and puma country and carried no gun, just bearspray. Only saw bears while riding, both black bears and grizzlies.

Switzerland: Generally not allowed, except above tree line and not inside national parks. There are many camping sites however. It can vary also from municipality to municipality.

Iv been living in France for 3 years now, I’m from California. I really miss wild camping and overlanding (car camping with a 4x4). It seems non existent here, in the US the amount of exploration is almost infinite, there is so much beautiful nature to explore, overlanding is very big and popular there, it’s really fun to be able to buy a jeep or Toyota and modify it, lift it, big mud tires. Here you can’t even do those kinds of modifications to your car legally, and again, even if you could, there is no trail difficult enough to even require the modifications. That’s probably the thing I miss the most about the US.

Hehe yeah big off-road cars are hard to get anywhere with in Europe. And the laws here are very strict. Some make sense, but a lot don’t. But on a motorcycle you can find some pretty epic trails!

Italy here, as far as I know for the Italian law it's perfectly legal and allowed to camp for one night everywhere (it's called "bivacco"), just like an emergency camping spot. Resting for more than one night in the same place is considered camping, and usually that is now allowed everywhere, each city or town can decide to deny camping. I totally agree with you, as far as you are respectful, don't jump on fences or broke gates and leave the place clean and intact nobody give a damn thing. The main problem in Italy is offroading, because in many regions it's not clear if it's allowed or not, there are several laws from regions, towns, general law, they overlaps and nobody have really understood if it's allowed or not (outside of offroad tracks made for motocross and other organized competitions). In my case I usually go wherever I want, if state or local police will stop me I'll get a fine, it's very very very unlikely and it's not the end of the world, It's not a murder...

bivouac is not the same as camping with a tent, at least in germany. Are you sure that camping with a tent for one night is allowed in taly? That would be new to me.
@teneretraveller8980 4 ай бұрын
Interesting one. I've been thrown out if a farmers field fir stopping to eat a sandwich while cycling- in the UK.. England. But its OK in Scotland. I guess very discreet and respectful as you say. Might be the best way to save money while travelling. Besides fuel, what costs more in the western world? In Eastern Europe some hotels are do cheap you can afford the odd night of luxury. Ride safe 👍
@RidetheBean 4 ай бұрын
Hehe yeah. I afford myself a night extra if it is really cheap some times. But I actually prefer the tent as long as the weather is ok. The only issue is power and WiFi 😅

I find this really fascinating. Americans grow up with guns everywhere so they get used to it being a completely normal thing, while the rest of the world is used to not having them. The psychology behind why the guns need to be around to feel safe is very interesting. There are big critters and carnivores everywhere, but only in America are people so afraid that they need guns with them 😅 We have wolves and bears in Norway too, and give met them both while camping. Never even occurred to be that so wish I had a gun. And even if I did I probably wouldn’t shoot. 😛

In the U.S. we've got millions of acres of National Forests & B.L.M. land, primarily in the western U.S. This land allows for dispersed camping up to 2 weeks. State owned land typically wants you to pay for designated camping spots. Private land? Yeah, this is a great way to get shot or catch a criminal trespassing charge... and yes, Americans gun culture obsession is dumb. Can you please adopt me so I can move to Norway?
@RidetheBean 4 ай бұрын
😂 yeah sure! Bring your bike and come over 😝 I really want to cross America on the bike. But I think the US is one of the scariest places in the world to travel. I’ve traveled in many “dangerous” places all over the world before, but was never as scared as I was in L.A. 😅 But I still think that as long as nobody sees you it doesn’t really matter where you camp 😛

Travelling solo in western USA on a Euro plated motobike got to be one of the best places you can go. People were very friendly and often politely approached me for a chat. Almost twice a week I was invited to share bbqs, meals and beers at other peoples camps. Accepted half of them and had many laughs too. Or given fruits, soft drinks, snacks, coffee, and even morning pancakes once, by camp neighbours. And I was handed phone numbers to call if having a bike issue for ecample by strangers I had a brief conversation with. I would go back again in a heartbeat if I can.

@@MrPepsilon Thanks for sharing your story, friend. C'mon back anytime and try out one of the B.D.R. (Backcountry Discovery Routes) trails in WA, OR, WY, MT ID. If you were to start your trip in Seattle, I recommend Hwy 20 & maybe cross up into Canada for a bit to see more of the Cascade Range. Circumnavigating The Olympic peninsula is a fun ride as well. Cheers!

@@chiefenumclaw7960 Yeah, that would be the plan. I had just entered Canada coming from Bonners Ferry when my front tire suddenly fell apart more or less. Had to turn back and after that I was running out of time. Some of those BDRs, or at least portions of them, I wanted to do but by then I got wrong type of tires on the bike. Regrettully, as I was riding Lolo Pass too.

Bro thinks if he camps in USA he will get shot. Tell me you have never camped in USA without telling me you have never camped in USA. Most USA is free to camp public land. Welcome to freedom. Leave no trace.

Hehe I have camped in the us a few times. And I don’t think people will shoot you on the spot. But when you don’t know if you are on private property or not, and the law is that you can shoot trespassers, the chance is there since everyone has guns. In Europe nobody does, and so it’s less risky. And in Norway it doesn’t matter if the land is private. You can still camp on it and the landowner can’t say anything as long as you are 150m away from a house.

@@RidetheBean And the few times you camped, I'm sure you were not shot and you had a great time. Yet you are spreading an Overexaggerated narrative in your video. Trespasser is some one who refuses to leave despite being warned several times. The land owner will literally warn you 10 times before pulling out the shotgun. You have to be a complete fool to get shot in USA by anyone while camping.

Hehe I’m sorry if you felt I was misrepresenting anything. That was not my intention. I did have a great time camping, but I also felt a bit restrained because I am used to not having to think about it at all. I’m not used to people having guns, and so I don’t feel as safe traveling around America as I did anywhere else I’ve been. Maybe it is my own bias, but I also experienced some scary moments there that I have not done other places.
