[/img]I may be considered odd by some, but I prefer to be comfortable when traveling. I most always am camping and carry the following, with no packing problems: tent, sleeping pad & bag, clothes & toiletries for a week or two, fire starter kit, tool kit, tire repair kit, rain suit, flashlight and headband light, spare fuses, spare spark plugs, coffee pot, mess kit, small grill, folding chair. Sometimes I also have a small cooler along.

I have three rules.

1. Consider taking the family for the experience,

2. Prioritise what to take, what do you really need,

3. Don't overload the bike, (unless it's what you really need (see 2))

A small bottle of Extra Strength Excedrin, and several cans of V-8 vegetable juice to chase 2 or 3 tablets down is a must-have for me. tumb2
