I haven't tried it all out yet, but I thought I'd throw up a list of what I've got for camping trips on the bike, just for the sheer pleasure of it.
Tent - High Country "Dargo" Hike Tent
Sleeping bag - Roman Palm IV
Sleeping mat - Thermarest ProLite
Cooking - JetBoil
I can fit all this in my tank bag, if I expand it to its maximum size, and still have a little room to spare. That said, I can no longer see the speedo over the top of the bag! But compromises must be made... I'm working on a solution for keeping an eye on the speedo.
That leaves me my tail bag for clothes and food. If I ever go on a longer trip I will invest in some panniers to complement the tail bag and allow me to take a bit more stuff.
Once I've tried it out, I'll let you know how it goes! But my sleeping bag is only a 2-3 season affair so it will probably not be until spring that I get to go camping.
nice post
ReplyDeleteMy dad used to take us camping as kids and growing up, my siblings and I were taught basic survival skills and how to innovate with camping gear. We have good gear, no doubt but my dad has taught us how to make a stove and other camping hacks that I've treasured through the years. Right now, I'm teaching my own kids how to camp comfortably and still be able to make their own camping equipment. Now, here's a site that I came across with that's really awesome, see: http://myoutdoorslife.com/diy/diy-camping-gear.html
