Motorcycle Camping and Adventure Gear Buyers Guide:
Although the article has some good recomendations I don't own any of their recomendations and I like my gear better than what they suggest. I have a Hoodoo REI tent.
A headlamp and lantern from black diamond that are tiny
MSR pocket rocket stove
GSI dualist mess kit
Eureka Silver City and a hoback for warmer temps
Prolite Plus Sleeping Mat by themarest
Compressable duffle for clothes made by Osprey that I LOVE!! MAkes clothes take up half the space and is very durable.
Bic lighter and waterproof matches for fire starting
Cotton balls coated in vasoline stuffed in a 35mm film canister for fire starting
Mountain Home backpacking meals and cliff bars for emergency food (both sold at walmart)
AND much more. Everything is small and light but above all, it is durable. I don't take anything that can't be dropped multiple times on a rock.
A small hammock is also a great idea. Makes a wonderful camp chair and sleeping spot but don't take just a hammock. There are not always trees available at camp. I learned this lesson the hard way. It took many trips to get my gear just right and it changes every time I leave on a new adventure.

Leaving for our Annual Fishing Trip
Tomorrow we leave for our annual family fishing trip. I can't wait. It is going to be great weather up in Minnesota and great company. Some of our normal group won't be able to make it but it should still be a wonderful time. I hope to catch a ton of fish and get a lot of time with our family. This is everyone's favorite week of the year and it always allows us to get to spend a lot of time together without the distractions of modern day live. No walmarts, TV, or other technological distractions. Aside from a few laptops and cell phones of course.
This is the first year I am taking my dirt bike and hoping to make some time to explore the area near our cabins a little more thoroughly than in years past. We are hoping to catch tons of northern pike, walleye, and perch in addition to my dual sport pursuits. I can't wait until 1:30 tomorrow when I get off work and we start the 12 hour drive up there.
