This 44 guy seems to be on a streak with these high quality videos

I wasn't immediately sold on a new host to supplement Ryan. But I have to admit, FortNine content has only gotten even better since then. You work great together, and the variety adds a lot.

Shout out to Ryan for being on his 44th clone without having figured out that they need sleep despite there being barracks in his studio. What a boss

I no longer know what F9 videos are… brilliant production, useful and bullshit free motorcycling information, with a heartwarming clone theme tune… you’ve elevated your output to something truly unique. I DO know that your channel is now my favourite subscription, I DO know that every video gets a rewatch or two, and I DO know that I want to thank you for putting a ridiculous amount of effort into your videos. Pure class!

The Sound and costume design is so next level! they didnt need to go that hard on a tent review but they did!

I went with a standalone single-person tent from the typical outdoor retailers. Packs down decently small, seals up to keep the rain and bugs out, and doesn't rely on trees or the bike itself to keep upright. It also cost less than any of the options shown here. The only downside is it does nothing for the bike, so bringing another tarp to keep that dry is wise.

I love when you guys show simple (?) motorcycles in your videos. Love all about motorcycling, whether big or small.

For motocamping I use a thirty five dollar pop up tent that I spent a day waterproofing, and cheap air mattress. The duo isn’t exactly compact, but it only cost me about sixty bucks all together, and they work great on a budget!

What 44 doesn't appreciate, being only a few months old, is that those tents with bike garages are actually made for middle aged men who need to stand up to put their jeans on, the bike garage thing is just a side effect.

I haven't been camping since I left the Scouts over 30 years ago. I don't have any interest in going camping, I will never go camping again. I still found this video captivating, enjoyable, and loved every second. Well done 44, keep this up and we'll all be very disappointed when the inevitable happens and we have to get used to watching 45 instead.

Offering my experience: I use a two-man tent and dress my bike in a rain cover. It's bulky, especially with the tent poles, but not having the bike form a critical support of the tent means I can leave camp with a completely unloaded bike for a runaround, or go pick up things I might still need. Having a roomy tent that keeps the wind and bugs out also helps with comfort and sleep. The downsides are the weight and size of the items make it harder for smaller bikes to easily carry, and you might feel encouraged to bring things you don't really need because you have a big tent to fill, and a tent with poles takes longer to break down and that can wear thin if you stay only one night anywhere.

I just use a cheep CanadianTire 7x7 dome. It bundles a bit longer, but matches my rolled up sleeping pad and ax length so it bundles up well. Big enough to bring my kit inside if I'm solo, tall enough to sit in to hide from rain, cheep enough to replace if I lose/break it.

If we have F9 and whatever channel Zack and Ari are on, we don't need the rest of the internet to be entertained and educated with moto content. Well done 44.

The loveliest thing about this video is that it does not just advertise the specific models. It shows three different concepts of lightweight(ish) camping with your bike and minimal gear. The concepts you can implement yourself a cheaper way if you desire. And my god, such amazing landscapes! What a beautiful country you're living in.

Great cinematography, editing and a touch of humor. This channel is the Top Gear of motorcycling.

So much here! The obscure backstory of 44’s cloning, (I presume the first 43 were failures), his theme song, the magnificent B.C. scenery, the outstanding cinematography, and of course the thorough and informative tent review. Fortnine just gets better and better. Also the best way to buy motorcycle gear in Canada.

This was a fun video. Personally I settled on a backpacking tent. It's light and small enough to be carried on your back for 20miles a day, so it's no issue even on my sport bike. My 2 man has enough room for me and all my gear. Weighs 3 lbs with tarp, stakes and footprint. less than my previous hammock setup and it's not limited to trees. Plus I can use it for camping trips with my gf too

Ahhh why couldn't you post this sooner!! I'm leaving out the door for a camping trip to Cincinnati 😅

Always a joy to watch your videos guys Composition, colors, audio and writing are nothing short of spectacular, keep up the great work!

Man if 44 is this good imagine how good 45 will be!! 😮

Love the 44 Theme Song! "Ole' 44, your're on your own."

For the most part, backpacking gear is moto camping gear. Although, the motorcycle luggage can usually replace the backpack, but that depends on what you want to do while camping.

The production value is just sooooooo through the Roof lately. Totally blown away

Next level entertainment again, all those bloody details incl. the soundtrack...top notch content. Hope you keep up this kind of quality, it´s so refreshing and right up my alley. I wish someone over here in Europe could even come close to this. Thank you guys!

You should definitely bring a bivy or mosquito net shelter if you are going to cowboy camp under a tarp in places that have ticks (which is pretty much everywhere). Tick born illnesses are very bad, even potentially fatal.

I just bought my first motorcycle KLR 650. Thanks Fortnine for all your inspiration and knowledge!

So happy to see Hennessy Hammocks featured on Fortnine ! I have been rocking the 4Season Explorer for two summers now on my VFR and it changes everything. My cousin has the Amok and we traveled all around Quebec, Maine, Vermont, New York with it. From the United States, I warmly recommend Superior Gear Hammocks

Love 44 videos, with Ryan brilliant writing behind and that amazing production! Well done guys

Here in Australia, keeping the spiders and ants out is a huge priority. But that hammock, I’d never get in and out after a few drinks.

There's a huge category of tents 44 didn't talk about. For these prices there are also many very nice stand alone backpacking tents from the big name companies: North Face, Marmot, Big Agnes, Sea to Summit, Nemo. Many of them also make a motopacking specific tent with a bike garage awning. For example the big agnes Wyoming Trail tent is a palace in comparison with an awning big enough to do actual work in it. It costs and weighs more, but compared to an almost 500 dollar hammock, you get a whole lot more. Tent comparison is surprisingly complicated, anyone considering spending more than a couple hundred dollars should do lots of research.

Best made, humorous, most informative, intellectual motorcycle videos on KZfaq. I use the Kuma Bear Den 3. It is heavy but has a vestibule that I use to keep all my riding gear dry.

These videos are getting better and better. Love it. The drone shot at the end was

Right on time for the winter. :)

i have a hammock similar to that Hennesey one that doesnt cost anywhere near as much, it was a gift anyway, but with a few inexpensive accessories it could do the same as the hennesey for probably a third the price. Regardless this video was top tier and i loved every second of it. cant wait to do some moto-camping myself.

These videos lately have been killing it. Good job, guys.

Love the videos. The production quality is incredible. Keep it up!

Fantastic video! I love that blue-grassy 44 song..ha ha! I learned a lot on my thru-hikes with respect to ultralight camping. I typically go with the 1 pound tarptent moment when I motocamp as it's simple, bug-proof, packs super small, and is easy to set up. It served me well for over 5000 miles on both the AT and PCT. The Six Moon Designs Gatewood Cape and Lunar Solo are also fantastic alternatives. There are a ton of great ideas/solutions out there though, so as usual, whatever works best for you is the best solution!

The quality of these are always insane. Great job as always!

The original music brought a big ol smile to my face. What a great team, love Fortnine.

Best soundtrack for a motocamping video I've ever heard! Great work!

I just rock a popup tent. As long as the disc is smaller than the width of the bike, it's not too much of a pain and the rapid deployment/striking cancels out the slight annoyance of its bulkiness.

This is the fastest I’ve clicked a Fortnine video in a while.

The production quality of these videos has reached new heights! Keep up the good work guys!

Man i love the videos you guys make!!!! Hopefully next year I'll make it out for a weekend, to try out motocamping! I have lots of gear from kayak camping and think that it will carry over quite well. Thanks for all the videos!! Great work!!

I have Motocamped through Arizona, California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Utah. The best and most versatile option is a quality backpacking tent (or Bikepacking tent if you want to store the tent in your panniers) and a high-quality sleeping pad. I've personally been using an REI Passage 1 for the last ten years without issue, and I've put the Big Agnes Insulated Air Core sleeping pad through its paces and it has been incredible. having a freestanding tent means that you have a place to escape from the critters, bugs, and weather, and you are not reliant on trees for your shelter. Also, keeping your bike right next to your tent is 100% a hazard and you should never sleep within fall-distance of your bike.

The direction and production on these videos is simply astounding.

I know you guys have been easing 44 into the channel, and I gotta say: you've done a great job of it. A few links to work out in the narration, but that'll come with practice. Great work, 44, we believe in all of you!

Good one 44! Glad you're on the team.

Music, sound design, filming all exceptional here. Wonderful video.

44 gets his own Theme song? I hope Ryan isn't jealous

I’ve been loving this style video series. Keep ‘em up!

That was brilliant, even more brilliant than usually. Good job, 44!

I remember when the Hennessy hammock was still a fairly new product and they were showing them off at the national scout jamboree, cool it see its gotten more popular than ever over a decade later!

I’m a simple man, I see a new Fortnine video I click

Really good touches to your videos guys. Custom songs, random pins, lots of thought into a 9 minute video. Keep up the good work!

I’m glad I’m not the only one who does the honk signal to trucks, I also love that 44 rides a van van. Can’t wait to see that review

Had a Hennessey Hammock for years and absolutely love it. So worth the money and the weight.

it's absolutely insane the way you never ever miss with a video. every single one iterates on the expectation that it can't possibly be better than the last, yet always is. keep it up!

These just keep getting better and better. Love the 44 theme song.

I’m pretty in love with my Big Agnes Copper Spur bikepacking tent. With short pole segments, it easily fits in my pannier, and even with groundsheet can’t be larger than that hammock setup. Bonus: totally encapsulated against water and bugs, and it’s freestanding.

I've been motocamping for around 7 years now. I've tried several methods to bed down, and without a doubt hammock is the way to go IMO. Light weight, compact, and modular to fit your needs (rain, temp, bugs, etc). Great content guys.

Very appropriate episode as I'm camping in a remote area. I shouldn't have service here, but I inexplicably do. I was thinking last night about motocamping further up in the mountains.

can we just take a step back and realized that this channel with 1.81 million subs has produced time after time amazing,mind blowing videos with awesome writing and videogprahy is only manned by 3 people.. i salute to you fortnine youtube team.

The FortNine Team really outdoes themselves every video. Providing reviews, tips, and tricks in a way no one else does. Also, instead of using an already existing folk style song for the B-reel they have their own little song made specifically for this video. That level of commitment and detail is outstanding. Bravo FortNine.

I greatly appreciate these videos and acknowledge the amount of effort you put into them. I want to ask you guys to retake a look at the audio levels though, it feels like volume greatly varies and the own made music peaks alot, especially at the end of the vid.

for side/stomach sleepers, check out the HavenTents hammock.... insulated sleeping pad in the bottom of it and you lay fairly flat-ish... Love mine for moto camping... more trees then flat level ground where I camp...

I used to love taking a hammock when I was living in East coast. Back home here in the West, unfortunately I don’t always have trees. I carry a one-person Walmart tent now, and it works pretty well.

I have the abel brown and love it. I'm 6'4" and fit in it with room to spare. If your a little unsure about the stability of the ground it does work off the right hand side of the bike without too much difficulty, so incase of your bike tipping it won't crush you

The fact that the fort9 team picked this guy shows their professionalism in every damn aspect of their life, their videos are amazing, this guy is amazing, just hurry up and make a full on tv channel fort9, you’re killing it! Great job Ryan and 44!

I've done a few cross-country motorcycle trips, and I'm really glad to see the Hennessy Hammock get some air time in this video. I love their hammock system so much - I have TWO. The hammock is IMO the perfect nomad/motocamping/backpacker setup for anything south of the tree-line. How fast you can pack-in/pack-out is unparalleled for the features you get. It's a shelter system you can spring up quickly at the back of a rest stop on the highway, and tear it down even quicker in the morning with zero trace. It's a small lightweight shelter setup, string it up high or low, ground soft/hardness be damned, with proper accessories gets comfortably warm in single-digit temps (personal experience), and I get the best sleep in them. It should be mentioned, they're asymmetrical so you sleep diagonal for a flatter posture than sleeping in-line w/the hammock. Now in a pinch, you could also just sleep in your touring suit as you're basically wearing a tent already...

Great video. I have done some motorcycle camping, and a proper bivy (with a pole to keep its shape) is an affordable and reasonably comfortable solution that easily fits on a bike and keeps you dry and mosquito-free. It does nothing for keeping the bike dry of course, but I honestly don't consider that a big issue. If it's raining then it's just as likely/possible it's been raining that day and your bike is already wet, and you would be wearing your rain gear so a wet seat is no big deal. That aside, if you really do want a dry space (more to be comfortable and dry yourself out rather than your bike) then a coated nylon tarp is a great addition, and doesn't add too much bulk. The bike definitely provides a couple convenient tie-down points, combined with a couple lightweight collapsing poles and you can set up a shelter with reasonable height even in areas lacking any useful trees.

Amazing video as always. I've seen too many hammock falls while backpacking to give that a try, but I'll have to give my backpacking tent a try next time I plan a multi-day ride

Man, the production quality is through the roof. And while nothing could ever replace Ryan, I am very happy to get this additional content.

Dang, 400 bucks for Hennessy a hammock? Just get one of the Hennessy expeditions that are around 160 bucks and an underquilt for another 50. Does the same thing as the survivor and I'm pretty sure will pack down smaller as well.

My setup is a 1-man ALPS tent off Amazon (100 nights in it), 3 season sleeping bag, and a Klymit pad. Everything fits in one sidebag so when I roll into camp late I just need to unload one side. I also take a half-cover motorcycle cover and put my gear on the seat under the cover. Been pretty strong setup through moderate rain. I sometimes have to pack up the gear wet (tent and rainfly go into a garbage bag in the sidebag so they don't get the sleeping bag wet) and just air it out when the weather clears.

These shorts really are entertaining. Keep up the great work 44.

you can get a water proof zip up hammock for cheap but with out the padding for cold weather; its small and will work the best for how small they can pack down into

At first I was damn upset when it seemed RF9 is being replaced. Now this is starting to become THE MOST entertaining, creative, original and damn right awesome whatever you call these videos. What are they!? 44 bru you are a class act, and you compliment RF9 like an FTR1200 compliments the entire motorcycle species.

I never noticed if you had custom theme music on other videos, but the tunes on this one were great and added to the story. Great job, 44 and crew!

Insane how your videos just keep geeting more amazing😮

truly one of the top 3 motorcycle Camping Tents of all time

Weekend milk, love it

The production is next level. I can't believe F9 isn't on some paid service. Your content rock!

Thank you for the high quality content. So good.

Fuck yeah I'm planning a trip to the Sahara in the winter (from Germany) and I'm still not sure which tent to pick, or what to look for.

For the experts, what do you feel about that 2nd one? I fear that if I roll, my arm it might hit the side stand and have the bike fall on top of me!

Speaking of fitting it on the bike - I’m a big fan of Big Agnes bikepacking tents, the Copper Spur in my case. Packs amazingly small and gives me a proper freestanding tent to sleep in. More versatile than a hammock, and a lot easier to set up (and get in and out of).

3 part study around nouveau pioneer habitations? Loved it. #44 is superlative. The hammock brought his vestigial cellular memories for womb life. I think he’s confusing his cellular centrifuge with pre-gestational spinning in the hammock. Otherwise, go high thread (hotel/motel), especially with womb cloned bones reaching flexibility limits. Great work guys. Informative and entertains.🎉❤

I do wonder if they really slept through the nights camping like this or had a car to sleep in instead

Again something between entertainmen and art. Just next level. Thanks man. Great!

It took me longer than I'd like to admit that the first song was about 44. THAT'S INCREDIBLE! Very nice touch

How can a channel be this consistently good? There was definitely a meeting at a crossroads somewhere in the past.

That theme song is BRILLIANT! I played the video multiple times just for the song 🙂 Love the content 44, great job!

another classic! great vid guys!

I'm always amazed at the level of your teams production. Thanks for the great attention. Hammock it is! I'm too old to sleep on the ground lol.

Great job Edwin and 44. And great job to the musicians on the intro and outro.

Nice, I picked up hammock camping through hiking and I have to agree, as long as there's trees it's the way to go!

You are so great I have no words anymore to define you channel. I am recommending it to anyone that looks for KZfaq great content, it does not matter anymore if they do not even like bykes

Ahhh good to see you went with the hammock. In my opinion the hammock is the only way to go. I sleep full time in a hammock and wouldn't bug out with anything else. Hennessy makes a great product with a great warranty and customer service.

Bout to ride from CA to TX, this helps immensely. Chef's kiss.
