Uploaded December 2025 | Updated September 2026, 3 weeks ago
@MotoCampNerd and I have worked together for years now, but have never actually met in person. Nerd Ben decided it was time to rectify that, so he invited me out to attend the 2025 Chilly Willy Rally put on by the Uwharrie Adventure Riders in North Carolina. This was an awesome event filled with great people and while it was pretty cold (it IS December, after all), everyone had a blast riding ADV and dual sport bikes, hanging around the campfire, eating great food, and meeting new members of the adv community.
HUGE thanks to @MotoCampNerd for sponsoring this video and my trip. Check out the world's largest and most carefully-curated selection of motorcycle camping gear at motocampnerd.com/?ref=dork

I also got the opportunity to visit the Moto Camp Nerd store in Archdale, NC. What a cool opportunity to peek behind the curtain and see where all the magic of the world's best and biggest motorcycle camping gear store takes place.
