cmbthumper 160 Posted October 14, 2022 (edited) I have hiked many thousands of miles and learned to go lighter every trip. After i could no longer hike i transitioned into Overland camping with my Jeep. While the components were somewhat the same, Again, you learn to go lighter every trip and be as efficient as possible. The point is that you will NEVER and i mean NEVER no matter how much your buddy has camped or bikecamped ever be as prepared or know what works or doesn't without doing it yourself. Help and advise are always key but experience Donald Trumps it all. Soon i will be trying my venture into Bikecamping and have zero shame in that while i have experience in other "Camping" venues i will be a complete noob and will accept any help and criticism to make the experience more enjoyable for me and anyone around me.

If I don't do it, I'll never know. I haven't camped in 30 years and Never off a bike. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Goofy Footer 539 Posted October 15, 2022 This is the Jethro I assumed you referenced. I expect this ^ kind of animation while we tell each other riding lies around the campfire!

Zubb 1068 Posted October 16, 2022 ..... um ..... John, if you don't come to camp you'll never get to see the "super-simple moto travel kitchen and cookery kit" and it's marvelous use-ification. You'll wander the universe on your motor sickle bouncing along with clanking pots and pans and excessive gadgetry for the rest of your life having missed an example of pure camp kitchen genius. Seriously though, I've had the privelege of sharing probably a hundred campfires with riders over the years. Nobody ever shows up to talk politics or other controversial topics. We all go there to unwind and forget the worlds problems. You bring the salt, I'll bring the pepper and we are gonna have an awesome time! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tntmo 896 Posted October 16, 2022 A sense of humor is highly recommended. If anyone is this tightly wound, I wonder how they can swing a leg over the seat? But yeah, keep your politics at home. That goes for both sides. I saw an earlier post that should have been called out but it wasn’t, so…. The only infighting that I will tolerate on this trip is the badmouthing of BMW’s and their riders. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
