WHAT’S IN MY POCKETS?
amzn.to/2W0W0G5 - Deity Connect Lav Kit (this is a dual system, and the two transmitters can be turned into a transmitter and receiver, or use with the base unit as dual system audio)
amzn.to/3x1MzDq - a Leatherman is always super handy
/ saangoh - Awesome hand made leather products from Steve!
amzn.to/3roQXel - AirPods Pro (expensive, but really really nice for all things audio listening in the apple ecosystem. The noice cancelling is a nice touch)
amzn.to/2V0uxUK - Quadlock Cases and Motorcycle Mount. This is seriously an awesome system. The other accessories are overpriced for what they are. You can end up spending hundreds on stuff that doesn’t work that well.

Stoked that my favorite UA-cam creator now includes motorcycle adventures in his videos!
This video is the PERFECT example of why I subscribed to your channel. Helpful gear reviews that never feel like a sales pitch, the philosophy and struggle of creative work (really hits home with my ADHD) , and now another addition to the cool project / passion list with dirt bikes. I'm grateful for the effort you put into your videos.
Great Story telling in this blog! Thank You Levi for inspiration to create more!
Absolutely love your video style! So smooth yet so casual!
I truly appreciate the amount of work that goes into making this level of quality. I’m new here and to videography in general and love the outdoors so this is right up my ally. Thank you. I’ll be sticking around
I almost forgot how beautiful BC is. Thanks for reminding me.
Very creative way of sharing your 2021 gear Levi! Loved your home 🙏🏼💕😌 you’re truly blessed! Beautiful country!
Just stumbled across your video since I love EDC stuff, this was incredible. Loved the story telling intertwined with going over gear.
Loved how you used the moto journey. Takes me back to the old school Flickr, What’s in my Bag group where we used notes to tell about each item. So good.
This was a fantastic video. I appreciate your insight into the process of capturing and categorizing ideas.
Stunning video as always.
Love the thoughtfull use of 360° footage.
It often distracts from story, but love the way Levi uses it.
The Spirited Man lives in a van by the River. And his life is glorious.
This reminds me so much of growing up in the back country near Kelowna, thank you for such wonderful storytelling and visuals. Feeds my soul since traveling back to Canada has been out of the question lately.
Levi, I just found your channel and watched this video from beginning to end. You legit had the best review of the Shimoda Explore v2 bag out of everyone. Thanks for inspiring us and keep at it!
Love how your videos play out. Such great flow. And man, some of your shots are unforgettable. And your gear videos are great. Wish I could afford the shimoda bags! The whole ecosystem looks rad. Learning so much by studying your videos. Thanks for the inspiration, Levi. 🙌🏻
I love your laid back style of film making.
Subscribed as we’re hoping to come over from the UK so always looking for great areas to explore 👍🏼
This is such a simple video but just oh so well done! great job !
Absolutely LOVE this video!! One of my favorite videos you’ve made lately!!
Fantastic video Levi!! Really enjoyed it.
Your content is awesome! Love the vibe of your channel 🤙
Fantastic video. You kept it interesting all the way through to the end. Life is better when you make stuff.
love your videos , gives me so much food for thought.
I love your Dirt Bike! Also, just loved the tour de Valley…. I was smiling the whole time. This is the most useful (and fun) EDC video I’ve seen. Well done!
I’m utterly impressed with your video content and just your all around lifestyle! Don’t change a thing and keep up the great work! Definitely earned a new subscriber in me! Thanks!
Great vid, Levi. I'm using a HUGE old school Lowe-Pro bag with, well, none of the features of the Shimodo bags. It's also inspiring how much effort goes into your b-roll and intro. In a world of swipe-up / next, it's a treat to have video of beautiful scenery from someone who clearly loves where they live.
Watched this video when it was new, and felt a need for a Honda like that one. This summer (one year later) I found a Honda XR 250R at Marketplace, and I bought it! Thank you for the inspiration!
Love your positivity, man! You remind me of my cousin Shane, likely the coolest dude I know. As a creative and maker I always look forward to your videos no matter the content! Ride safe!
Dude awesome vid beautiful nature shots and love the motorcycle I just subbed
Dualsport is just the best eh. Nothing clears the mind better than ripping through town, hoping on the dirt, and watching the sunrise or sunset shortly after. That intro was sick🤙🏻.
AHHHH one of my fave spots. Amazing video Levi!
Best ever "what is in my bag" type video. Great job with storytelling, love this video.
Since I started to create youtube videos I'm writing more than ever before, didn't expect that at all :)
love these types of videos so many useful things I didn't know existed
I love the vibe! Subscribed!
Dude that intro was absolutely awesome. Thanks for sharing!!
I just came across your channel when this video popped up in my recommended feed and I must say I'm very impressed! Your videography is so unique and inspiring and you've got me itching to buy a Shimoda bag now 😂
Fabulous Levi! Thanks for this 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎞📸🎬🎥👌🏻
Love your videos, bro.
I just started my first vacation in years and you’ve inspired me to get out and make stuff with my camera. It’s a little awkward turning my brain off, but I’m going to put more emphasis on writing.
Way to represent Chilliwack! It’s been my home away from home for well over a decade now. Cool to see all the familiar spots as you went along. I’m pumped for the new vedder brewery. Always love to support local companies like that.
I had to come back to comment on that Shimoda bag you were talking about. Definitely going to be checking that out. Most camera bags seem to “pretty” these days. Love a good adventure style bag!
Loved watching this! Chilliwack looks EPIC! Awesome video man.
Love that music that kicks in at the 14 min mark
Such a beautiful way you do compares to any other 'backpack' video, you created a whole adventure behind your gears. Keep up making awesome videos!
Thanks a ton!
Awesome video! I know about a year ago you bought a Fuji X-T4 to try out the fuji ecosystem. Would love to hear about your journey from using the GH5 as your maine camera to now using Sony and the cameras between that didn't work out.
You make fantastic videos, Levi. I wish I had the proper gear and talent to do stuff like this. I love it, keep it up!
Cheers James! I appreciate it. Sometimes it doesn’t feel worth it, it takes so much time to film all the shots haha
That intro takes me back to my youth 😌 btw before I forget, thanks for all of the info pertaining to van electrical insight and info, really helped out 🙏... now back to watching the rest of this video
I wish I grew up with some bikes with motors! So fun
Love the bike! Rode a 350xl back in the 80’s!
This is a very cool take on this genre of video. Turning it from the top-down view of a desk to a travel film was really intriguing and thus far more engaging. Well done.
Thanks Paul! It certainly took a lot more time to make it this way. But I enjoyed it better too
awesome video as always. I, like you. Feel blessed to live where I do. Missoula Montana. Keep the videos coming
Very first video of yours that I've seen and I'm hooked! Absolutely loved how this was produced and edited. The visuals are beautiful, I like the storytelling in stopping throughout the journey to touch on gear, etc. Excited to subscribe and see more!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Dude this is one of your best videos.
Ok... I had no clue that the PM filter backplate could be screwed onto the front plate like that. As soon as i saw that, i picked up my filter and tested it out... mind.friggin.blown. Wonderful video as always!
Rad! Enduros are perfect for the island!
Brilliant... So many great inspiring tips! Now i realize how my organizing methods are completely inadequate, if they even qualify as methods xD
I need to step up my game...
This is one of those amazing videos where you just don't know why it doesn't get as many views. I absolutely loved it, thank you for sharing!
I had to laugh when I saw you posted this video. I just published my kayaking EDC on my other channel (Climate, Kayak, and Conversation) yesterday 😆 Amazing content as always and a major inspiration for me, thank you.
I felt bad for not watching this right away, but I knew it would be another Levi Masterpiece and I needed to find a clean time window for it. Of course you did not disappoint. You make my heart warmer bud. Thanks for being you. - Ian
I’m glad to get a video out where I could squeeze a long section in about how much I love the bags : )
Hey Levi! Amazing video! As someone who spent a lot of time in BC, I've been really enjoying your videos. And the knowledge you share is invaluable. Thank you for that! Looking forward to a time when travelling becomes a little easier again so I can visit Canada again.
Stay safe!
Awesome, thank you!
Dude! Your vids are great but this one had something, can't put my finger on it. Great hanging out with you, learned a lot.
LOL glad to see that im not the only one absolutely obsessed with Shimoda shoulder straps 😂
Man, this is so good. All of your videos, I enjoy. But lately, it feels like they’ve gone to an even higher level. I know they take a ton of time investment, but the amount of value you’re giving is both entertaining and practically helpful. Thank you 🙏🏼
what an absolute beautiful place you live in..so jealous
Fun video. Thanks!
Some blue loctite will help a lot with those stubborn bolts that rattle loose but it can still be disassembled later if you need to.
Yeah maybe things rattling lose is an oversimplification. More like brakes need small adjustments. Or a part has come lose because a piece of metal bent from vibration. But yes loctite is awesome
Brother I’m loving the longer videos! The attention to detail and the moments you take to let the story breathe! So good!
Thanks dude! Lots of love goes into these
@@Levi_Allen you can really tell! Would love love to go on the academy trip. Not sure how I could get off work for it tho!
Man there’s a lot of work gone into this. Very very nice 👌🏼
Thanks a ton!
That XL250R is a beauty! I have a DT175 yamaha. And had an XR125L but it's now my sisters. I'm totally addicted to riding, especially heavy off road.
It’s so fun!
This is amazing! Great video. Sounds as though bike is idling a touch high, should be able to hit the set screw on the carb and lower it a bit.
Yeah it’s idling high for sure. The float is actually stuck. So it needs a rebuild
What an amazing video
Love your videos. Pretty much exactly what I want to do with my channel. Just doing cool shit that YOU enjoy doing not chasing an algorithm. while making the shots look great and planned out.
Many Thanks Levi....!
Nice creation brother
I love this channel.
great videooooo
Hope all is going well as can be for the Allen family !
That intro is the most badass thing I've ever seen
Hey Levi, thanks for the cool review. I was just realizing that you said you used the 25L with a MEDIUM mirrorless CU, how was the fit? Shimoda states that the 25 only works with the SMALL units.
Very nice content
Can you make a video on your color grading? I think your stuff looks awesome!
Please do a video on your bike so clean
Watching that backpack breakdown makes me want to start hiking.
Or maybe just wear one when I’m riding lol
Thats the better option haha
I am actually using that same logitech case while watching this video, funny. Larry
Great video but didn’t see the gps down in the description. Was wondering what kind it was
Everybody else: making a what’s in my camera bag video at their desk. Levi: I’ve got something better.
You won't see an every day carry like this very often (if ever)! Amazing work Levi :)
If you were a laptop guy, where would you put that in the 25L? I have the 13" macbook pro! I assume it would fit?
Inspiring 🤛🏾
Another great video Levi! What do you use to catch the action shots of you on the motor bike? Looked like a selfie stick on the back of the bike .... the video was so smooth! Is that with GoPro? Thanks for clarifying!
I write to discover what my thoughts actually are. Literally one of the biggest gems ever!
Great video
That back camera on the bike; GoPro Max? Fantastic find and executed! Also the audio recording while driving is pretty good! I wonder what my Rode Wireless Go would do with situations like that. The Shimoda bag is fantastic! I wish I could get my hands on the smallest version. I'm using the Explorer 60 and X-50 right now, but for short trips, I prefer using a smaller backpack then. My Toploader is great, but just a little bit too small for my Sony A7RIV with lenses and a drone.
You definitely just sold this guy a new bag. I’ve got a massive pack that I can haul my Sony 200-600, 70-200, the same 55 you have, and a 16-35. A drone. Couple of bodies. But I need a pack that isn’t so bulky and pack the essentials. I think this new 25L would be sweet for a quicker go bag. Nice review!
Cool ol bike! Would be fun riding an filming with ya.
New here! LOVELY color grading
Great video! I had just ordered the Explorer 25L myself. Are you able to fit the medium mirrorless cube in the 25L? I thought only the small one fit.
You could have made several videos from the content of this one video, great tips. Larry
Hi - love the video, already ordered the tool kit. What helmet do you use? Thanks
Camera stuff is cool but I wanna know where to get that awesome table👍🏻
Levi, you always have these awesome plaid shirts, where did you get them? This video is amazing, I love tool videos and the fact that you've made a cinematic experience out of it is 🤘
It’s almost always the same one haha it’s from Marmot
looks like you have the same problem as i do in that the waist strap is more of a rib cage strap because Shimoda didnt make the shoulder straps longer to compensate for the shorter 25L bag. If it wasnt for that one thing the bag would be almost perfect.
7:48 Yeah I can't recommend the Knipex Pliers Wrench enough. Use them all the time. Just in case you didn't know, that plier design works best when you push the top handle down (clockwise in the video).
Wow I never thought of that. That makes sense tho. Great tip
I write to discover what my thoughts actually are. Wow. The 9min mark holds the gem in this video for creators. Super strong 90 seconds
Thanks for the video and little tricks! Do you use Filter step up adapter or you use different size filters for different lenses?
You should definitely go for step up rings. Buy a filter for your largest filter size lens. And then use step up rings for the smaller ones. I recommend polar pro's step up rings. Unless money is not a problem then go ahead buy a filter for each lens :D
