Reddit mentions of Archer Ultra-Light, Moisture-Proof, Insulated Tent Footprint Pad for Camping

I just bought a whole bunch of camping stuff for the bike. Basically, I focused on a two things; Pack size and weight. I'm aiming to fit everything in some hard cases, and I think I have enough space for all of this plus food and clothes for a week quite comfortably.

The thing I realised is that the tent and sleep system will cost the most. The tent you can skimp a little on if you're ok with it wearing out after a few seasons.

So, I was able to save a lot by getting a Kelty tent; they make some great 2-4 man tents that are super portable. The Salida 2 might be the most appropriate for you. I'm able to set up the Salida 4 in about 5 minutes. It's not quite as easy as the "pop-up" tents, but its pretty damn light and packs down into a manageable size. $113 and you'll want the footprint $32

Self inflating mattresses seem to take too much space. So I went for a Therm-a-rest all season mattress. There's a new model coming out I think but the one for $109 seems fine. Yes, expensive but I think it will be worth it - it improves the temperature rating of the bag and will fit inside the sleeping bag I got.

Get a warm sleeping bag. Something like this Big Agnes $179 is good. It will accept the mattress so that you don't fall off it during the night. It will back down tight and unlike a down sleeping bag it will stay dry longer and will perform well for longer. Down is "the best" but unless you need to sleep through sub freezing temps you should be ok. Can always stick one of these underneath $22 to improve things.

This is an awesome stove for $14. Fits on standard camp stove bottles and is very wide and stable. You need to buy the gas at a camping store.

You'll want other stuff:

• Cook set. Lots of single person/2 person cook sets out there that are great on a small stove.
  
• Cutlery and plates. I have a lightweight aluminium plate set and some cutlery for it.
  
• A collapsable bucket thing so you can wash your stuff when you're finished, and also so you can carry water from a water source.
  
• A water filter if you're counting on drinking water from a water source.
  
• A tool kit for your bike.
  
• A first aid kit.
  
• Paper maps of the areas you will ride through.
  
• LED rechargeable lanterns/lights etc so you can find stuff in the dark.
  
• A multitool, a nice big camping/hunting knife to cut stuff with when you're bored, a camping axe and a shovel so you can bury your excrement if needed.
  
• Some way to start a fire if needed, matches, lighter, etc.
  
• Inflatable pillow.
  
• This seems to work great for coffee.
  
• dry bags/sacks to store stuff in.
  
• Something to store food in.
  
  And you'll want some motorcycle specific luggage that fits to your bike. I'm a fan of Kriega system bags for sports bikes as you can strap a whole bunch of the bags together to store everythign you need nicely. A bit expensive but when you start looking at the options you might find it's hard to fit everything you want on the bike without investing in some good luggage for the bike.
  
  People may disagree with some of the things I've said, thats cool. I just went through all of this myself so figured it might help. YMMV etc.
