Stuart, very practical items for Motto camping. I just ordered the roll up camping table after watching this video. Thank you..
Very neat and tidy set up, a place for everything, and everything in its place.
Brilliant video, makes us long for spring and summer. Thank you.
3 years late have just seen your video. A really good selection of gear. I would agree totally regarding the need for a 3 man tent. If it starts to rain (and at some time it will!) there is a lot of riding gear to get into the tent with you.
One point worth noting about tents is that some are erected with inner tent first and then you add the waterproof outer layer, other tents are the other way round ( or like mine the inner and outer tent are erected together). When the weather is fine it makes no difference but if its raining as you pitch the tent you really want the outer waterproof layer up first.
Mattresses : - I agree 50 to 75mm is far more comfortable than 25mm but to save weight and bulk its worth looking at 3/4 length mattresses. I also have one of those cheap dimpled airbeds that are now widely available. Very light, very quick to inflate and very comfortable but watch out if the weather/ground is chilly - they conduct away your body heat far faster than the self inflating foam mattresses.
Cooking:- I always used to cook with gas until someone loaned me a Trangia set and a bottle of bio ethanol (B&Q). Trangia was developed for Scandinavian military and you can tell! It contains the heat far better than any other camp cooker I have ever used and heats things up ultra fast especially in windy weather.
You didn't mention washing up gear which will of course be needed. As a luxury I also carry silicone collapsible bowl which comes in handy for various other functions.
Water bottles. I use one of those 10L roll-up water bags and hang it off the handle bars on site. ( but they are a pain to dry out properly). I have also found that a 2L lemonade bottle makes a good water bottle and collapses down really small if you suck out all of the air and then roll it up.
Washing:- getting towels to dry can sometimes be a pain. Take one of those flat rectangular kitchen sponges in your wash kit. When you have showered, a quick wipe with the sponge will get you 80% dry which means your towel only gets wet with the remaining 20%.
If you are camping late season you may well find yourself cooking in fading light. I cheap head torch gives grest light and leaves 2 hands free.
I hope some of your readers find these additional comments a help. Getting out camping on your bike is just brilliant!
And one final tip from a year I went camping at Easter and the night turned out to be very much colder than anticipated, You can keep your head warm by sleeping in your crash helmet and jt also doubles as a pretty comfortable pillow. Maybe The Stig was right all along!
Happy camping.
Thank you, very interesting. This single video was the catalyst for several a google searches, of related items, that lasted several hours. Well done sir.
thank you mr Floyd, glad you enjoyed it!
the MSR dromedary(?) water bladder has been my favorite, i've accidently dropped it down a briar ridden hillside,of about 100 yards and steep to, with no punctures and no leaks.
Can't wait to go camping on my bike. Great video!
Beautifully videotaped, love the simplicity of packing aboard a standard bike. Thanks!
Hi Stu, yet again another top quality video and very useful. Whilst watching this a thought came to mind which explains why I enjoy your videos so much - I REALLY felt like I got to know and understand the products you illustrated/demonstrated to the extent that I achieved sufficient experience to make a buying decision. This is extremely rare in todays world of internet or 'at a distance' purchasing.
Very useful, very well done. Cheers, Dave
PS Loved the music !!!
Thank you David, I appreciate your kind words! Its easy to stand in your dining room/garage or garden with a camera to review something but I believe that people really need to see a product in action where its intended to be used, to get a true idea of its worth. It means a lot to me that you appreciate my efforts! thanks once again for watching and for your comment sir!
Thanks Stuart, great video. I bought a 2 person tent and quickly realised it is not big enough when motorcycling. That Coleman tent looks very good and I can always get a separate groundsheet for the porch. Cheers, Andy
Your welcome sir! the new version is called the TATRA 3 it looks very similar. thanks for watching!
Good bedroom, as always and some useful advice. I also watched you video on the Goose Travelman tent; a good product. After thinking about the comparison I’d probably buy a stand alone larger tent (for extra room, comfort and convenience, and take an extra tarpaulin to throw over the bike or use as extra ground proofing. I’ll take your advice about that mattress!
Great video. Thanks again Stuart. Was a great help.
No problem Carl, thanks for watching!
Hallo Stuart I have just discovered your channel . Great videos. Regarding your equipment, I always say that one must carry what makes you comfortable. I do not quibble on whether it’s too much or to little. One must be comfortable unless, of course, you are travelling with a pillion . Ride safe. Alessandro, Italy
Thanks for taking the time to get this show-n-tell of your gear up here. I'm most drawn to those Trekology wares. In the little weekend motorcycle camping I've done recently, like up to the Triumph & Royal Enfield National Rally in Oley, PA in June, I've just bought a regular ultra-cheapo folding hammock-style folding chair for $5 or so at Walmart or some nearby supermarket while stocking up provisions, using it for the weekend, and then just giving it to someone, since they're a tad bulky to haul back home to Virginia on my Indian-made Royal Enfield Bullet 500. Judging by your choice in incidental music, maybe you should look into getting a nice old Indian thumper yourself! Anyhow, thanks again for the tips!
By the way, If you want to read about some of the doodads and other gear I've found useful, take a look at this Royal Enfield Forum thread: forum.classicmotorworks.com/index.php/topic,26192.msg301469.html#msg301469
Hi nice video .For the water i use a camel bag( or hike drink bag) that has 2L of water in it and i use it to drink when i am driving or for cooking when i stop .For the table i use my hard back pack ( 45 L ) lid when it is open and i put some thin wood under the stove .
Regarding the pillow, I usually just take a pillow case and stuff it with clothes I'm not wearing, jacket and whatever's lying around that halfway soft. Sleep on my side too and it gives plenty of support plus saves on weight and pack volume and is (in my opinion) far more comfortable than inflatable pillows.
Fantastic video Stewart! 👍🏍🇬🇧
Thanks Joe!
Great video. Thanks. Ps - that table is awesome
Job well done as expected!
Hi Stuart,
Thanks for some very sensible and interesting pointers and kit recommendations.
What's even better is that you say what hasn't worked for you, and why to stay away from some items.
Must confess after many trips away walking, mountain bike, motorbike and Land Rover ranging from 50 to 5,000 miles +, I have ended up looking for smaller and lighter kit, even on my motorbike. Mainly because if I carry that way, it allows me some leeway on the extras / luxuries we sometimes feel we can't do without. The small axe, the extra 3x3 tarp etc.
But thanks from Lincolnshire and maybe we'll cross roads out there.
Cheers,
stephen
Hi Stephen, thanks for that its nice to know the video is appreciated! Thanks for watching and ill keep an eye open for you!
Thank you for this video and the others. You gave me a very good tip for the Lomo bags!
For mattress, check Thermarest NeoAir series, super light and very compact! I have one since 8 years and it is comfortable in every condition.
Thanks for watching Manuele glad you like the videos! and thanks ill check out the thermarest but I seem to remember they are very expensive here in the UK!
Great tip about the straps! Never would have thought about that.
Glad you find it helpful Michael, Thanks for watching!
you want rokstraps, best investment you will ever make when it comes to packing a bike ;-)
stuart fillingham great video thanks, tho definitely use rockstraps, cheap and never let me down. No problem if the load compresses slightly.
You should look into the Klymit Static V Sleeping Pad. They are tiny and are exceptional for comfort and keeping you warn. I have the single V and I have the double wide for car camping. The warranty is great, too. They replaced one of the ones I have after I popped it, no questions asked.
cracking vid, I'm pretty impressed by that table. Never thought about something like that before, but I know from my own experience when bike camping how much of a faff food prep on the ground is.
Hi Kris, thanks for watching! yeah its a handy little piece of kit for less than £20! like you I never considered a table for bike camping due the space needed to carry one. just cant work out why its taken so long for someone to bring something like this out!
Hi. You could do with putting your tent inside a smaller dry bag by itself in case it has to be packed away wet.
Thanks for the nice video! I once had cut a sidestand pad from a piece of plexiglass and visited a cemetery, forgot it onto the parking place and maybe some living soul took it... Then, I added a piece of elastic rope to it and now it's kind of easy to drag the pad under the sidestand without having to bend over - and then attach the other end of the rope to left handlebar so when continuing riding it is easy to remember/fish up and place it into pocket... Seems there was something red there in the grass after you left... :) I sure wish I could camp again in a tent!
Hi mr Dark! yes don't worry I did go back for the puck. it came in handy as a marker so I knew when to stop to make sure I was in frame for the camera! good tip regarding the string on the puck!
Thank you Stuart, very useful. Peter
your welcome Peter.
Suggestion. I watched, haven’t tried yet but plan to, watched a motorcycle camper from Australia and he had a good tip to try for people like us that sleep on sides and have problem squirming off off our mats, restless etc.. What he does before he sets up his tent, he digs a shallow trench about 6 inches wide and little wider than width of sleeping pad, then sets up tent and foot print, places tent over with pad over etc... trench, this allows restful sleep on your side with no pressure to hips and he claims that it keeps pad and bag in place all night. He claims he does this every time he tent camps for a good night rest. I plan to try it myself cause I always wake with sore hips otherwise, hope this helps.
Wa. State fan
Late to this vid but job well done ! You have all the basics covered . Nice thing about motorcycle camping is you don’t need super lightweight gear .
Very true!
Hi just as a fyi
Cheat re air in bag, prior to rolling, fold over 1 side, aganst the packed items, then roll, no air, a man after my own heart Lomo lol
Same Table as mine, i have the Heliox Chair had them many years.
I have the Zed Head Tiffin Pots full set got them when in india, they are the taller from yours, the lid turned over for the dhil and placing food on.
My water carrier is in my daysack made by Chamelbak, so can drink as needed during the day look at military surplus, mine was issued so dpm.
Mattresses we use Exped down, (down lined), have own internal pump, when packed away, size of a pair of shoes.
Re sleep bag I use Down 3 season bag.
I pers use a multi fuel cooker, coleman.
I have a Phad2 looks just like that. great tent. I use a Synmat 7 air mattress. Not self inflatable but it's very comfortable. I have a self inflator, no comparison. You will never feel the ground on the Synmat 7. Sleep on air. Also have an inflatable pillow. Those two items are very small. All my sleeping gear fits in one saddlebag. Down sleeping bag from Mountaintop, 32F Ultralight. packs very small. Cool max liner. Very small but effective. keeps you warm in the bag or use it and lay on top of the bag when it's hot. keeps bag clean.
Hi David, thanks for sharing that info, ill look into the equipment you have mentioned!
Hi Stuart. nice video. I'm a paraglider pilot and cyclist so tend to be into light camping bags and so on. When doing hiking and flying trips we don't want to carry much stuff. I have really had very few problems with getting comfortable on good quality but smaller thermarests. These offer good insulation and a small pack size. I use a thinner lighter bag but can with a silk liner to give added insulation. There are probably lighter tents too such as 1.5kg single hoop tents from Terra Nova and others. I've had a terra nova tent for many years, totally bombproof. I'm just getting into motorbiking so am on a 125 for now, hope to be on a tour on a bigger machine some day.
Hi Brian, i do have a smaller mattress from trekology now which is pretty comfortable. just bear in mind when bike camping that you do need to keep some pretty bulky equipment in your tent at night helmet riding clothes etc plus your luggage, so smaller tents can be a major headache. i personally wouldn't like to bike camp in a tent any smaller than the one i have its totally full once ive got my gear under cover. thanks for watching and for your comment sir!
Nice run down- I would maybe add a tarp and retractable poles for shade or maybe if you are stuck in a stretch of rainy days. Now I just got to wait for the snow to thaw and look for summer here in New England.
Its an odd set up here in the UK peter ,most sites wont allow additional tarps and shelters, one tent ant thats it!
Good video, as always…..
Take a look at the Thermarest Neoair Dream sleeping pad. It's thick, comfortable and offers very good insulation and it takes up less than half the bulk of your pad. Expensive but worth it in my opinion. I'm generally a three bag camper myself on the bike. Khyam Biker tent. A dry bag with my sleeping pad and quilt and a couple of pillows. The Trekology inflatable pillow takes up no space at all and I add an old foam camping pillow for the extra comfort. Third bag is for everything else including beer!
I shall look in to it Jim, thanks for watching!
Just about to order a Tatra 3 for a trip to the Lakes in a few weeks!
Nice presentation.
I quite like the look of that high backed chair. The table looks good too.
When it come to tents though, I really like to have headroom to properly move around in.
That inflatable mat does seem pretty big!
I know what you mean about head room in the tent, was thinking that myself this weekend while I was trying to get my bike gear on and off!
The two "taller" tents I'm interested in are the Kelty Salida 4 and the Robens Green Cone 4 man tent, the latter one having 1.85 metres headroom dead centre.
I much enjoyed your video, Stuart, and am studying quite a number of this type of presentation to improve my knowledge of motorcycle camping before spending too blindly.
I have found the two page linked article most helpful:
www.advpulse.com/adv-prepping/packing-tips-two-up-motorcycle-camping/
Hi Tim, Thanks for watching. There is no wrong or right equipment to use, although there is some to be avoided! I'm sure what ever you choose in the end will be right for you!
I use a coleman duel fuel camping stove and re-fill it from my bike using a syphon pump I saves space and no concerns about running short of fuel , also to save space there is the back packers airbed which rolls down to the size of a bottle of wine
The coleman 533 is a fantastic stove I did a review on it a few months ago! Alas its a bit too bulky for my current luggage set up! Re the mattress Trekology have come to the rescue and have offered to send me one of their new compact sleeping pads so hopefully problem solved! Thanks for watching Stash and for your input!
Yes I don't understand why most sleeping pads are so slippery it's a real pain.nice review.thanks.
Great video but at the back of my head something is missing. The tent for the bike 😊🥷🥷. Great info on the equipment
Thanks for sharing your setup! I'll have to take a look at the treckology gear.
Had an idea pop into mind that may help with your slippery mattress. Perhaps place some strips of hockey tape (not sure what the uk equivalent would be) along the mattress, as long as it sticks to the mat I think that would probably do the trick or at least help a little.
Thank you Tye, Ill look into that, although trekology have offered me one of their sleeping pads to try out!
I have done full reviews on some of their gear if you would care to take a look!
Thanks very much foe taking the time to watch and comment, its always good to see a new face on here!
great review and choice of location
Thank you sir!
What was the location ? (Assuming you're happy to share - we all have our favourite places that we like to keep to ourselves)!
Great video, just come across it by chance and now going through the rest.
Nice to see someone who appreciates that you don't need something the size of a 1200 GSA to have fun motorcycle camping !
Keep it up !
It was filmed at fort Paull in the east riding of yorkshire sir!
thanks for video. Gave me some ideas.
Your very welcome Scott Thank you for watching!
Have you considered the use of a mono-wheel trailer? If well designed, it keeps the bike light and handy, yet allows carrying a bunch of stuff.
What a soothing background music. . Loved that music with such a information video
The Platypus water tank is great. It packs flat and it is durable.
I shall take a look sir!
Wow brilliant video, quality was excellent and the sound track seem well suited. I want to through my tent on the bike and go camping now. 👍🏻😬🏍💨
Thanks Dervman nice to hear from you again! I was a bit worried about the music being a bit cheesy! but its all I had that seemed to fit!
DervMan I
Sleeping Pad, 6 centemeter's, 2 1/4", Thick, That's as good as you can get, Beding sliding off, Two suggestions, Try a closed cell thin sleeping pad, Placed on your pad, 3/4 or full length, Or a meadeum weight blanket, Full size, When you get cold, Through the blanket over your self.
Some good advice, thanks :)
Your very welcome, Thanks for watching!
I'm liking the triumph, very nice
Thanks Jeff! she looks a little different these days take a look at the more recent videos.
Who makes those combination torch/lanterns??
just ordered a Lomo bag after watching your Video. i gave your youtube channel as the reason I ended up at their site. So i hope they send you something as a thankyou for reviewing their product.
good choice Peter! i love mine! they usually give me first choice on reviewing new products and im quite happy with that! thank you for watching and enjoy your bag!
Great video Stuart, thanks for taking the time to make this, I know you were unsure it was a good idea, but lots of good tips and ideas. Set up on the bike looks secure and balanced.I'm assuming you would also have the Triumph panniers attached for 'non-camping gear?On the photography gear, many 'vloggers' seem to put it in a top box 'sponged out' like a camera carry case, did you consider this as you already have the rack fitted? (Incidentally, not a great lover of top boxes myself and reckon your set up would be my choice.) TCRSLooking forward to the touring video's.
Hi Paul thanks for watching and for your comment, I'm not keen on top boxes either and the LOMO tail pack is cheaper and easier to remove all my camera gear is protective cases anyway so it should be ok in a spill!
I wont be using the panniers for touring as they are not waterproof and soon get ruined if it rains hence the LOMO bags.
The bike handles just fine with all the gear loaded up I just turned the preload one notch on the cam.
hello Stuart, do you still take all that gear or have you whittled your kit down with experience?
nice video. just wanted to ask what do you eat what you cook?
I really enjoyed the video Stuart. May I suggest you list the name of items in your camping gear on your video description? I couldn't make the brand name of some of them.
Hi Jose, thanks for watching, your comment has been taken on board sir, will do so when i have some sparetime!
Thanks Stuart, another really helpful video. Do you take anything other than basic tools for your bike?
Hi Nige, thanks for watching, Good question! I used to, but while I still have road side recovery with triumph I don't bother anymore. If I'm going to be away for a few days I will take a tyre gauge and some chain lube, but that's about it.
Verktøykasse good video 🙂
There's a 4p tent by Marmot: It is a Marmot Tungsten Ultralight tent that weighs in at only six pounds.(You may want to check it out). I am into bicycle touring and our goal is compact and lightweight gear (since human power is exuded). Other awesome camping gear brands are; Hyke & Byke, Sea to Summit, Big Agnes tents, Trekology, and Nature Hike. There are other low costing and awesome camp gear (do engine searches on E-bay for various products) and you'll find a lot of neat camping gear. I have been interested also into participating in motorcycle camping, (maybe in the near future. ) so all the advice is helpful. Happy Motor camping :)
4p is very cheap for a tent! im not sure I would trust it!
@@stuartfillingham 4p is an abbreviation for 4 person tent.
@@StarEssences I know, but I like that you bothered to explain. used to be a 4 man tent of course, but even tents have to be politically correct these days!
So...The crome bars around the back tires" Are those for soft panniers? If so why not utilize? Are they deleted in this vid simply for it not necessary for this vid?
Hi thanks for watching I don't use them except for casual use in good weather because they are very impractical please see my earlier accessory review here. th-cam.com/video/nNZvBXxulRQ/w-d-xo.html
The chair is a must at my age
A chair is essential for comfort to everyone I think JImmy!
stuart fillingham yes but look through the motorcycle camping videos, the elder guys have the bigger chairs, while the younger guys have them horrible little stools, it's the chair for me .
LOL that's only because they hadn't discovered the trekology chairs Jimmy!
I actually use a inflatable air matress, like the ones you have for guests at home. I also have a small high volume low preassure air pump running on 12v. It beats sleeping on one of those self inflaters and it actually takes less space and weight(at least for when I bring my wife to be, since we'd need two), than a self inflater. Other than that (and you don't bring any tools and rain gear??) I like your style, keep it simple, don't bring your whole garage.
no! no tools sir! thats what Triumph assist is for ! re the raingear i wear an rst adventure duit for longer trips very waterproof if the weather gets bad!
Great video some very good points thanks ps whats the music.?
Yea, really creepy music
Informative video....
I would recommend a Big Agnes Park series sleeping bag. It has a sleeve underneath which you slide your sleeping mat and a pocket in the hood for a pillow.
P
They come in a variety of sizes and temperature ratings. I am a big guy and got the Elk Park from Big Agnes which has the lowest temperature rating which is down to about -25 celsius, a good choice for camping and overlanding in winter in Iceland. But they do have sleeping bags suited for warmer climates.
The bags for colder climates are however quite large and would maybe take up too much space on your bike. Then I would look at the warmer climate bags....
Big Agnes is based in Colorado so its a US company but I think they would have no problem shipping to the UK.
Best regards from Iceland....
I will look in to that sir, thank you!
That table and chair is great. I just ordered them.
They are the best! your lucky the small table sold out worldwide and has only just become available again, Trekology are on to a real winner there!
Nice music.
Have you heard of VANGO tents? Then you should! Please have a go on it...
Ive always favoured coleman tents sir, although obviously I am well aware of Vango products. no plans to change at the moment but you never know!
stuart fillingham I only got love and peace to give you and all my well thoughts toward all of us but when it comes to gear up I do bealive we ALL deaserve the best! It was with my best intention! Peace out! Love y'all!
Hi Stuart - another fantastic video Sir and very informative. I really do think your videos are into the realms of Ridley Scott now - the quality is just so good. Picked up some great tips and some equipment I've not seen before. Like you I use a 3-person tent on my own - it soon fills up with kit etc. The T120 looked nicely balanced with the bags you had on and I have to say better minus the panniers? Thank you again for a great video, informative commentary and quality filming. On a final note what was the background music? I'm sure I recognised it - very 'Gladiatoresque'!
Thank you Mr Bond! glad you liked it. the music is called little planet from bensound, they produce copy right free music for video productions! you can download it free from their website! Ive left a link in the description.
Yeah I wouldn't like to try camping with anything smaller it gets pretty cramped in there as it is!
The bike handled great loaded up! its like having a very small well behaved pillion on board, you soon forget your carrying it!
Did you manage to find an action camera?
Thanks for your kind words!
Hi Stuart - It's a toss up between the one you recommended and the Go-Pro 5 Session. Just trying to work out if the things I want to capture off-bike will work with which camera. Did you use the Sony to film this weeks video? The quality is incredible! Riding to Brecon and back today but on Tiger Sport 1050 as the T120 is in for her first service. All the best sir!
no u use a dslr or HD video camera for that sort of work, The Sony records on a much higher rate video container than the Go pro and both the lens and cmos sensor are much higher quality, does the session 5 have stabilisation?
Yes it does - according to the reviews it is supposed to be very good at it too.
Ill have to have a look!
Hi mate my set up is very similar to yours only different brands. If I'm only going for one night. I use a swag with my bedding inside the swag instead of a tent. The side stand foot I have attached some cord to it, so I can place or retrieve it while still on the bike. Good job with your videos, they seems custom made for my viewing.
Thanks Phil glad you liked it. good idea re the side stand foot! SW motech do make a sidestand foot plate for the T120 but I cant find a seller in the UK at the moment!
Is that Trekology table a small, medium, or large?
its the small John!
stuart fillingham thanks Stuart, I think I’ll add one of these to my kit.
I did publish a full review John, it can be viewed here at. th-cam.com/video/sVBANb13jPw/w-d-xo.html
Im not sure but i think there is also a link to it on Amazon in the video description.
stuart fillingham again thanks, a well done video.
de slaap mat , de tent , de zetel ; het kookset , is allemaal beter en goedkoper te vinden .
Don't forget a good tyre repair kit and a compressor.
That's what breakdown cover is for!
Is this a motorcycle camping video or a thinly disguised sales pitch?
Love and peace.
What watch are you wearing? Looks comfortable
Its a Samsung Gear s2 sir.
Why don't you fit a 12v cigarette socket to the bike, and use the bike battery to charge phone ext and pump air bed as you don't like that self inflating ice rink?.. and you can pump your tyres if you need to anywhere. . In any emergency. The camping towel is not a good towel, as absorbent as plastic. For a pillow, I use the bag the tent comes in, put your jacket in it. Best wishes..
Great video. Have a look at the shit I take. I think I would takes twice as much as you
Cheers Ken
lol Thanks for watching Ken!
impecable su camping
Hello Stuart !
i would recommend carrying a repair tube for fixing a potential broken tent pole (wind damage) and some duct tape. Essentially the tape that repairs all sorts.
Also, try making a diy CHAIR "anti-sink" device from some old cordura fabric...just cut a piece to cover the chair area and fold the corners back and stitch the edges up, to make open pockets for the chair feet.
Another idea is a pot cozy made from some foil bubble wrap and tape ...keeps food warm while the brew is on the go.
A larger piece makes a good stove wind shield too !
A nylon cover keeps tree sap off your bike and hides it from prying eyes.
Better still, take a silnylon tarp to cook under or pack gear under when it decides to rain - small pack for the benefits it brings...

Simon
Hi Simon thanks for your suggestions. plenty to think about there!
have to admit the bike did collect some sap which is probably going to be a pain to get off!
Nice Indian song
the in camping is hammock camping these days
Not here in the UK!
Why take all the cooking gear? You have a motorbike. Hot food is unlikely to be more than about 15 minutes away.
Now that wouldn't really be getting in to the spirit of moto camping , would it?
I guess it depends on how you see the ride/camp balance. Whether you're out there to experience the ride and riding in wild places; whether the bike is just a tool to get you to your camp spot; or something in between. For me, it's the former. The camping is a necessary evil due to either cost, unavailability of accommodation, or, with my set up and where I ride, it's just better than most other available accommodation options. But when it comes to food, if I have a motorbike, I can almost always find better ready-made food than whatever I'm able to knock up on those toy pots and pans. Also, I find carrying all that gear, plus food (and washing up) is a pain. I have minimal cooking gear with one pot and a foldable cup for tea, and a few packs of noodles and dried soups, etc for when I find myself really far out there.
I think it's useful to remind people that having a motor vehicle allows you to significantly reduce your load (I use one bag plus tank bag for cameras), which makes the riding, especially off-road, so much better. Unfortunately, it's the 'spirit' that has people wobbling along with massive packs that, literally, include the kitchen sink. And wasn't the point of your film to show how to travel lighter?
Ooer a turret to a T54/55
Gas is lame,I use a fire bowl, more fun.
Not allowed on uk campsites im afraid.
computers telephones ect I camp to get away from all that
Bubacat 1 best not take them with you then!
