super compact camping gear
« on: September 01, 2009, 11:07:42 PM »
im looking at doing some motorcycle camping this fall.

i have a buell lightning so space is at a premium.

ive got a bag.

Look for a store that caters to backpackers.
Online retailers like REI will have what you need.

Give a look at Hennesy hammocks they pack small and you won't need a tent.

Check out MSR (mountain safety research) stoves and cookware. This is the one I have for canoe camping. It stows inside the 2 liter pot, which has a lid that doubles as a fry pan or a plate. Stove and cookware are sold seperately.

and the cookware:

A little on the spendy side, but worth it when space is at a premium!
