Jim Martin and the co-hosts on ARR RAW talk about what you need to consider when looking for a place to put your head down for the night, and how to handle doing maintenance on your bike when travelling.

Ideal Camping:

• when choosing somewhere to camp overnight, what are the things you look for that make an ideal camp spot? 
• camp away or near the road?
• do you look for a site with water, or not worry about it?
• do you plan ahead or wing it?
• what time of day do you settle for the night?
• what if you’re in an urban area, have you ever just found an out of the way spot or truck stop and set up for the night? 
• unusual camping experiences

Moto Maintenance

• best ways to get work done?
• deciding on reputable shops?

Doing it yourself:

• where to work?
• what to do with old oil?
• setting up your work area?
• essential lubricants to travel with (to be carried)
• on-tool items that must be carried (duct tape, zip ties - what else?) good for quick fixes
