First time camping
#21
I am starting to plan a trip this coming summer from SW Florida to Calgary Canada. It's about 6400 miles round trip. My wife and I have taken 2 and 3 week trips, the longest one was to New Mexico and back but on all of our trips we have stayed in motels. This time I was thinking about taking 3 weeks and bring the tent and sleeping bags and camp as much as possible. The only time we camped was at Sturgis for 5 days and that's an experience in it's self. Anyone have any tips or camping stories to share?
Regarding the camping topic, I've done several touring trips on the bike. My best advice is to pack light. Take only what you really need, leave behind any nice to have things. It makes it so much nicer to travel when you have a saddle bag that's half full, you can throw in a case of beer, or some groceries. If you don't over pack, then when you set up camp and tear it down it goes a lot quicker. And a lot less stressfull as well.
