Part Two: Woman Solo Camp Gear Explanation

[@Wheels_2_Wings]

I just took a 400 mile round trip moto camping at the Great River Bluffs state park in Winona, Mn. Beautiful area! I don't plan on trailering my bike anywhere. If I have the time, I will ride it wherever I want to go. Great video and thanks for sharing!

[@samanthagrise]

I go camping at Indian lake in Russell's Point/Lakeview ohio. It's like an hour away from where I live so it's a decent ride but not too far away if there's an emergency.

[@STho205]

I camp on Cherohala Skyway (Indian Boundary Lake), Citico Creek. About 80 miles from the house. Quick camping at Suches GA about 45 miles away, on the way to Helen. An idea you can take or leave: simplifying pack/unpack. Leave deflated pad, pillow and sleeping bag/quilt inside the tent. Pull the poles Fold it as narrow as you can (usually in thirds) Roll the whole thing in your ground tarp tightly with your poles. Strap it into a roll. Strap it atop your saddlebags in front of sissy bar. One roll is now bedding. Wet ground...roll it out, erect it, inflate pad...all dry. Dark arrival...nothing gets lost. Dark departure...same. Wet gear from overnight monsoon. All wet gear is in the roll, not getting your dry stuff wet. Roll it out on first sunny day.

I am not a woman or a Harley rider but I take all my gear on the bike with me. I have done 1,3000 mile trip to the Grand Canyon from Chelan WA on my Honda NC700X with no issues. I am about to take a 800 mile trip to South East Oregon June 1 on my new Honda CRF300L Rally carrying all my gear with me. I am using all Giant Loop rack less bags. Not sure how that would work on a Harley. You Tubers you could check out on the subject would be Her Two Wheels or Doodle and guys like Dork in the Road or Tim from FTA. Tim has a book out about camping on a motorcycle. Another excellent book on the subject is Motorcycle touring BIBLE by Fred Rau. I hope this is of some help to you or some one looking to get stared motorcycle camping. People have traveled around the world on just about anything with two wheels and a motor.

Hi! I did a trip a few years ago on the west coast. It was a multi-purpose trip but for the second half I rented a motorcycle in the Bay Area and rode up the coast to Arcata and then cut inland towards Mt Shasta. I brought a Wolfman duffle bag that I strapped to the bike with my camping gear inside. I had a very basic camp setup that worked for my purposes, basically like a backpacking setup.

[@Country-Marshal]

Well done. Nice gear selection. Just enough and packs nicely. I'm new here but I dig what your puttin out. Be safe. I'm rootin fer ya.

[@dancullett1720]

Thanks for walking through all your gear. I’ve never moto camped but I’m hoping too this summer. I like the tent. Ive looked at the Nomad by Able Brown but not sure I want to drop $250 on it. Enjoy the summer.

[@douglasmacy709]

I ride my bike I pack my gear. my trips depend on how much time I have off. I typically go down to Baja Mexico and sleep on the beach. It’s not about the destination it’s all about the journey

[@RoadWorrierMoto]

Definitely! The journey is awesome!

[@grayghost1423]

From Washington the PNW has been fun. We ride 2 up, good times.

[@cdrb838]

Awesome sweet👍. I usually ride my dualsport up into the mountains here in northern NM. Camp for weekend and head back. Never stayed at a camp ground tho. Might try that next spring.

[@RoadWorrierMoto]

Dispersed or campground, either is nice!

[@LonerBoi88883]

I'm going to use that exact one from Wally Mart for my dry run. (Ozark 3 person dome)

[@RoadWorrierMoto]

I really liked it, but it was pretty big once set up and it felt too open on the inside. I prefer a smaller footprint. But the tent is pretty nice, especially for the money!

[@LonerBoi88883]

@@RoadWorrierMoto ended up getting a kelty late start 2

[@chadmeyers3145]

I have touratech bag which straps easily to my Road King pillon position, which keeps all my camping gear in one place (and dry!). Then just a medium sized saddleman for clothes and personal stuff. The side cases, I put stuff I need to get to quickly or frequently Ie rain gear, water, food and I try not to pack too full. I have been fortunate to have about a week to 10 days for a trip every summer and alway enjoy the journey on the bike rather than trailering it...but I get it. Colorado, Nova Scotia (Cabot Trail), anywhere along Blue Ridge Parkway are awesome destinations. and great for camping.

[@leeredpath8332]

i often trailrt my goldwing in my enclosed trailer if im gonna be camping for a week or so. Im a big guy and i like my comfort. a stand up tent, a full size chair, large cot for sleeping . tarps for bad weather.etc. its nice to have different options if bad weather hits , instead of riding in the rain or hiding in a tent . i usually use a base camp and venture out in a different route each day.

[@RoadWorrierMoto]

Yea, if it's POURING down rain, I'll pick a hotel over a tent. Especially on a multi day trip.

My brother and I take a week long trip every year, most of the times its with softails, but we have baggers too. I use a T-bag expandable that sits on the back rest rack and an Army duffel bag rides the pillion with sleeping bag and tent in it. When taking the dual sports, packing gets interesting..

[@bulletmtw]

Try a Nemo filo pillow air and padding together , also plan on packing your rain fly separate from the tent once it gets wet. If you haven’t water tested your tent might want to at home and see if it needs to be seam sealed before your next trip. Enjoy the journey !

[@RoadWorrierMoto]

My tent is good, I had to seam seal and repair my rain gear pants. I melted them on my exhaust last year.

[@mikeprimeaux9071]

You should try moto camping at Big Bend down here in Texas. You can rent a Harley from eagle Harley-Davidson in Dallas TX

[@RoadWorrierMoto]

Great suggestion!

[@BigEasy1967]

Riding the bike and gear is the adventure

[@RoadWorrierMoto]

Sometimes!

[@mikeprimeaux9071]

Try a Klymit or Thermarest sleeping pad. They’re fantastic.

[@RoadWorrierMoto]

I ended up getting a cot!

[@Megakoolguy357]

We trailer our bikes for BDRs in other states. One person usually drives a trailer with the bikes and the rest can use a rental. We even had one guy fly to Idaho and meet us at the hotel as we were traveling because he couldn't get the first travel day off.

[@RoadWorrierMoto]

Do you feel like you can "get there" faster by trailering? And that's great with a group being able to accommodate different schedules.

[@Megakoolguy357]

@@RoadWorrierMoto It would take twice as long on a dual sport bike like a 500 EXC or my 650L, but my Panam can hold 100 all day. Speed would just be a bike choice at that point. That said, if you are time limited and you have a riding spot in mind (the coast hwy or something), then you can avoid fatigue on your bikes and bodies by trailering. I get drowsy very easily, especially in the heat. I can't imagine days of riding on the interstates with trucker trying to run me off the road. My brother took his Versys 300x from Oregon to one of the Carolinas. He said it stopped being fun somewhere around Kansas. If you have the time to enjoy it, then riding is the fun choice. If you are riding just to "get there," then you might as well drive an air conditioned truck and tow your bikes safely behind. I would opt to trailer, but I know hardy folks who would totally iron butt it the whole way.

[@whskywolf]

WE have some nice State Parks here in Eastern KY, but I am heading to Hunting Island SC, probably make it two day ride since it about 9 hour drive in a car. I want to acquire all my gar though and try few places close by to make sure I pack right.

[@RoadWorrierMoto]

I 100% suggest a 1-hour away camp to test your gear. I'd love to camp in South Carolina~!

[@whskywolf]

@@RoadWorrierMoto got a camp ground here not 15 minutes away .I camped down there back years ago it on an Island outside Beaufort, so campsite practically on the beach .

[@johnnycashbenham1192]

As of luggage rack back bags i really have enjoyed nelson riggs stuff, I got specifically two bags from them the weekender for everyday use and the destination as my trip bag, super easy on and off pretty durable to. Keep up the great content 👍

Many years ago, I used to just pull off the road and set up, especially in National Forests. Now, I highly recommend sticking to established campgrounds.

[@RoadWorrierMoto]

I haven't disperse camped from my motorcycle, but have a lot of experience with it on foot. I feel like it could be a mix of good and bad with a motorcycle.

[@SloMoto85]

Are we going to get a 2024 update on the low rider??

[@Megakoolguy357]

Nice bike! I just bought my first Harley a couple weeks ago. Most camping I do is off my xr650, but a road bike trip sounds fun too.

[@RoadWorrierMoto]

Thanks! I also have a Himalayan, but haven't camped with it yet. That'll probably be my more "adventuring" bike rather than this one. I use the Harley to "get there" and camp rather than the camping along the way option.

[@Megakoolguy357]

@@RoadWorrierMoto I started off road, but my Panam is a perfect bike for your style of motorcycle camping. Problem is that in Oregon most of the sites are booked out waaayyy ahead. Basically it's dispersed camping or hotels these days.

Taking my 1st long trip in about 2 weeks. Heading to NY from MN. Meeting up with old friends from the military ( one of our guys has pancreatic cancer and isn't doing well). Be coming through northern Ohio (Toledo). Nothing special for gear, just the basics).

[@RoadWorrierMoto]

Yep, most of my gear is just the basics. It honestly looks like "more" than it is because my bags look so big. I have already gotten rid of the saddlebags and sissy bar bag for something new that is more efficient.

[@gregd.88]

I am camping in my back yard this year. You are welcome to stop by. The wife is going to have a knee replacement soon so that kind of kills travel this summer!

[@RoadWorrierMoto]

Oh no! Sorry to hear that for her! I hope she recovers quickly and you guys get back on the road quickly!

Thermarest pad, and a real roll up pillow helps me.

[@life_behind_bars]

I really would like to get into motocamping. I think I need to get a sissybar and a bag for my Slim. Can't fit camping gear in a swingarm bag😁. You got everything on a Sporty, and that's pretty impressive, it however looked like your saddlebags were on Backwards, but I've been wrong before. Anyway great video

[@RoadWorrierMoto]

Honestly, they could have been on backward, they aren't for this bike. I have new Biltwell Exif Bags that I love so far, so that won't be a problem now! I love having a sissy bar, for sure!

[@tracyadamsmoto2465]

Good work. We literally have the same gear lol. I just dropped a video a couple weeks ago of my off the grid trip. If you're in the Midwest, you should try dispersed camping

[@RoadWorrierMoto]

I'll check it out! I'd love to do dispersed camping and I am in the midwest! I mostly only have time for organized camping trips, so those end up being at a group camp site. But I'm planning on trying some more solo camps off-grid.
