Camping Help

[Sleddog]

I have a two man tent you maybe interested in.

Luggage.....I wouldn't suggest piling everything on the rear luggage rack. It gets pretty top heavy. ....I remember moving my laptop from the luggage rack to a side case & it made a huge difference when on the CDR....ask STRich!

Soft luggage, like Wolfman or Ortlieb it's pretty lightweight & will hold more than you need & keep everything dry too. A small duffel on the luggage rack for light bulky items works good.

In my opinion, there is nothing better than Big Agnes sleeping bags & pads. Their pad slides into a pocket in the sleeping bag. You can toss & turn & never slide off the pad. They are lightweight & pack small.....so they're not cheap either. But, you'll save money in the long run by not buying all the others. I have a couple Thermarest pads if you're interested. BTW, my bag is rated for 15 degrees & is perfect for me.

I use a large Thermarest pillow. It takes up more room than I like but, I'm a side sleeper & I need the loft. Sleeping on a jacket or duffel of clothes doesn't work for me.

Most everything you can take with a grain of salt. You need to see what works best for you.
