Bagstr 287 Posted July 26, 2016 WalMart for you guys,,, I wonder if they sell motos there? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bp619 104 Posted July 26, 2016 Definitely not Walmart stuff my moto camping gear probably totals $750 but it's not a big net Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagstr 287 Posted July 26, 2016 Yes, That is the fun of all this; finding our own solutions to this Camping Puzzle. Personally, I prefer my one/half Hubba tent which keeps all my open sacks zipped inside. I am enthralled with the idea of building a Tyvek ground cloth with grommets to double as a quick shelter. Anyone in the House Wrap business that I can buy a 9ft square? Bags - Always looking to shrink the camp kit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PastaPilot 17 Posted July 26, 2016 Yes. My tent came from Walmart. It was $35. It rolls into a 10"x6" sack and when I don't sleep in my van I put my full size air mattress in it. Keeps the bugs and rain out. It is more than what I would need for bike camping but a smaller tent is available from Walmart or Target. My tent has been used about 2 dozen times over the past 2 years and still works like new. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mikey777 44 Posted July 26, 2016 That is utterly ridiculous. You can buy a really, really nice tent for that price and piece together a similar set-up for a fraction of the cost. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KTMrad 508 Posted July 27, 2016 All I can say is...you get what you pay for....not sure of their quality, BUT...when it comes to more quality, you will pay some more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagstr 287 Posted July 27, 2016 "Another Option" Not a commandment. This is Not an Oil Thread. Sorry about the "Walmart" comment.. Nice stuff, cheap stuff, do what yu want. Always a balancing act, to thread the bargains and the quality kit into the package that works for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danrider 5 Posted July 27, 2016 Bagstr, It most likely packs well for small bikes and is made of quality material, plus the ease of setup has been thought out by just watching the video. This is made for guys on skinny bikes. I know who would dig this and that is sickVick, but I know he would not give that kind of money for it, he would just make his own.

amgems 79 Posted July 27, 2016 That Giant Loop camping system is a nice setup....but it has one flaw....bears.... While you are sleeping the bears will come right in there and eat you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kato 53 Posted July 27, 2016 Easy: For a mere extra $99 you get the bear spray bottle option that has a gL logo on it and fits in the gl bag along with gl cook ware. Easy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StealthDingo 5 Posted July 27, 2016 There's also room in the GL bag for your GLock. That'll help a bit with the bear situation!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
