How can you pack all the camping gear and clothing needed for two
people on a motorcycle? At first, it may seem impossible but it is
easier than you think-if you do your homework. You must learn how
to acquire the right gear, how to pack it, and how to use it at
your campsite.
"Lightweight Camping for Motorcycle Travel" provides the
information and suggestions you will need to buy the right
clothing, tents, sleeping bags, tools, lights, cookware, and other
camping gear. It describes how to set up comfortable campsites, use
ropes and knots, cook great tasting meals, stay dry in stormy
weather, stay warm on cool nights, and prolong the life of your
gear.
Once you take a few trips and master the necessary skills, you
will enjoy many pleasures you could never experience in an
expensive motel room. You will enjoy breathing fresh air and
smelling food cooking at the campground. You will enjoy walking on
scenic trails and relaxing at your campsite. In the evening, you
will enjoy sitting by a warm campfire, listening to an owl, and
occasionally hearing a gentle rain falling on your tent.
