BASIC CAMP CHECKLIST

You can camp like a minimalist,

if you really want to. But unless

you’re going to sleep on a park

bench, you’ll want a few basic

supplies. I wouldn’t consider

motorcycle camping without all

of these items.

• Tent


• Sleeping bag


• Sleeping pad, air mat, or cot


• Flashlight


• Bug repellant


• Towel


• Dry bags/stuff sacks


• Bungees


• Water and water storage


• Nonperishable food


• Stove and heat source (fuel
  canister or fire starters)


• Coffee and cup
