Folds up into a small little bag. Great back support!



MSR Hubba Bubba. Without a doubt the easiest tent I have ever set up. Super Slick pole system. All one piece.



I like flys that go all the way to the ground.

For those that never been, campsites in Canadian National parks are very large.

The cot fits in a small bag...



....and assembles easily so you can sleep off the ground....



....for a bit more comfort I have a small air mattress as the fabric of the cot is breathable and your back will get cold...



Then my wool blanket goes on top....



...and the sleeping bag on top of that



And once all together goes into the tent with room to spare.

The wool blanket serves three purposes. For the tent, for sketchy motel beds so I can sleep on it ..... and it looks cool on the bike!!

Ok.... now to morning coffee. I have a system....




The kettle plugs into the inverter, which plugs into the bike.

So, I figure one of four things will happen.

1. It works, Rocky gets a cup of coffee in the morning. Nice.

2. It blows up the Inverter, Rocky drives into town for a real cup of Coffee. Nice!!

3. It blows up the fuse in the bike, Rocky calls HOG, they come fetch the bike, and bring Rocky a cup of Coffee. NICE!!

4. It burns the bike to the ground. Rocky has full replacement insurance.... 2017's are no longer available.... Rocky gets a brand new 2018. NICE!!!!!

Hey Rocky, Nice to see pics of your equipment. I have been a The North Face guy for 25 years.
I like your cot. I have never seen one that folds into such a compact package. Great for a bike. Please tell us where you bought it.

It's a ThremaRest cot, available anywhere you can get their product. MEC for sure.
