91-112 5/4/05 3:44 PM Page 91 None but the Brave. Partying. The German ‘Elefant Rally.’ photo by Rod Chapman, January 2003 (they all rode to this...) Miscellaneous Tips - A little gadget rarely seen but thoroughly recommended is a cycle guy, to support your machine whilst packing and unpacking. It consists merely of a suitable length of tent-cord with a good fixed loop at one end, and the usual bight and slider, as on the tent, at the other. Drive into the ground a tent-peg (and a few spares should always be in your kit), slip the bight over it, hook the other end to the saddle or round the toptube, and adjust the slider so that the bicycle leans slightly away from the peg. It will stand quite firmly unless some thoughtless person leans against it. - Page 117 from ‘Handbook of Camping and Caravanning’, published abut 1925 by the Camping Club of Great Britain and Ireland. OTR 91-112 5/4/05 3:44 PM Page 92 I-Tent and Firstlight These are the best ultralight tents for serious solo bike travelers. The I-Tent was developed for high altitude mountaineering but has an unequaled reputation for comfort and functionality among experienced mototravelers. The I-Tent’s single wall PTFE breathable/waterproof Todd-Tex fabric and classic BLACK DIAMOND FIRSTLIGHT two pole design make a more secure and lighter tent with greater useable space than other solo shelters. Self-supporting and quick set-up times are valuable features in nasty conditions and on long road trips. No rainfly means one less thing to fuss with and no noisy flapping in the wind. Windows and doors have hooded awnings for extra ventilation in stormy conditions. These tents feature corded aluminum pole, and a fast drying black nylon floor. Everything combines to make these the nicest ultralight tents available. I-Tent sleeps 1.6. Yellow. 3’ 6" H x 6’ 10" L x 4’ W (packed size 6" x 19") 3 lbs. 12 oz. Firstlight sleeps 1.6. Yellow/Grey 3’ 6" H x 6’ 10" L x 4’ W (packed size 6" x 19"). Firstlight version is made of 1.1 oz. Siliconized Ripstop (not Todd-Tex) so it’s only 2 lbs. 9 oz. BIBLER I-TENT I-Tent #1704 $517.00 Firstlight #1724 $287.00 BIBLER AHWAHNEE Ahwahnee/Lighthouse/Pueblo Every night in your Ahwahnee (or Pueblo), will impress you. It’s luxurious to live in and easy to pack. A single layer construction of seam sealed breathable/waterproof Todd-Tex fabric makes the Ahwahnee/Pueblo a fast and easy pitch, yet reassuringly secure in high winds and storms. No rainfly is needed because the Todd-Tex fabric (Not Gore-Tex® fabric; but a fabric made exclusively for Bibler.) is a highly breathable yet completely waterproof and windproof membrane. Shock corded aluminum poles allow for light weight and great strength. The full width screened front door and large screened back window provide easy access, great views, and effective ventilation, even during the hardest rains. A pale yellow interior gives a natural bright look. These tents provide secure living and sleeping space. Ahwahnee sleeps two. Green. 3’ 9"H x 7’ 6"L x 4’ 5" W.

Eureka's XTA is a great choice for three-season camping. A sturdy freestanding 7000 series aluminum frame keeps the whole plot aloft with an economical yet sturdy 2 pole design, and the bathtub floor provides a minimum of ingress points for moisture down low. A full-coverage fly and large vestibulesmean youcan keep bulky stuff out of the sleeping area yet have it reasonably protected WITHOUT FLY from the elements. The major floor and fly seams are factory taped and sealed, so you don't have to deal with that.

Their vaulted pole sleeves and ball ended seamless aluminum poles provide tremendous strength FLY / RAINCOVER that can resist high winds and the worst weather. Double hang-to-the-side doors and mesh panels allow great cross ventilation and flexible access.

Gunnison-2 #1725 $137.00 Gunnison-4 #1726 $187.00 Eureka Backcountry The problem with a bivy (even a great one) is that it’s no tent. Duh, ...but if you travel solo and need the privacy a tent provides, the Backcountry I makes a great ultralight choice. It weighs and packs like a bivy, but isfullyself supporting (no stakes needed) and lets you sit upright inside for changing clothes, which is handy during rallies or at public campgrounds. There’s even a bit of extra room for keeping some of your riding gear covered. Screened twin track side opening doors make entry easy. A unique screened hi/lo vent system lets fresh air circulate even in rainy conditions. The taffeta nylon floor and fly, shock corded aluminum poles, clothesline loops and meshstoragepockets areall features that make camping nicer and the Backcountry a top value for your solo trips. Green Backcountry I sleeps 1. 3’ H x 8’ L x 3’ W (packed size 4.5" x 11") 3.9 lbs. Backcountry II sleeps 2. 1. 3’ 6” H x 7’ 6” L x 5’ W (packed size 7’.5" x 11") 11 lbs. Backcountry #1710 $127.00 Gear Loft #1709 $12.00 Head Tent A miniature tent that's just large enough for your head. You’ve ridden to a race weekend (Road America AMA, Isle of Man TT, etc...) and you travel light. Asusual, there are no hotel rooms within fifty miles and the campgrounds are full...so you head to ‘Nicaragua’ a piece o’ swampland that an enterprising farmer turns into an impromptu campground every year. Now, you find your friends and become very completely baked or drunk. It ‘s an annual tradition...and so is the cold, wet rain which falls later. Head Tent to the rescue! The Head Tent is an easy-to-set-up (...even while impaired) tensioned catenary pentagonal design and is large enough to completely protect just your head and neck. Stakeless Easton wands allows it to be set up wherever you happen to fall down. The siliconized 1.4 oz ripstip fabric is naturally breathable and luminesces slightly (so less people will trip over you). The single wall Head Tent is compact to carry and makes things much easier when you need to go out and pee in the middle of the night. Be prepared to sleep anywhere. You know you need this. 20”x 18” x 18”, 13 oz. #RIDI $117.00 Headband Hangover Sunscreen Option #NGMA $43.00 Tent Comparison Chase Harper Eureka Backcountry 1 Bibler I-tent B-D Firstlight Kelty Gunnison-2 B-D Lighthouse Bibler Ahwahnee Eureka Apex XTA B-D Megamid B-D Megamid Light Kelty Gunnison-4 Bibler Pueblo Person 1 1 1.6 1.6 2 2 2 2 4 4 4 4 H/L/W 2' 9" H x 6' 5" L x 3' 4" W 3' H x 8' L x 3' W 3' 6" H x 6' 10" L x 4' W 3’ 6" H x 6’ 10" L x 4’ W 3' 2" H x 7’ 8" L x 4’ 10" W 3’ 7" H x 7’ 3" L x 4’ 3" W 3' 9" H x 7' 6" L x 4' 5" W 3' 7" H x 7' 5" L x 4' 11" W 4' 9" H x 6' L x 6' W 4' 9" H x 6' L x 6' W 3' 8" H x 6' 10" L x 8' 4" W 4' 2" H x 6' 10" L x 7'6" W Pack Size Weight 4.5" x 11" 4.5" x 11" 6"x 19" 6" x 9" 7" x 25" 6" x 9" 8" x 19" 6.5" x 16" 6" x 13" 4" x 8" 8.5" x 28" 8" x 20" 1.8 lbs. 3.9 lbs. 4.2 lbs. 2.8 lbs. 5.1 lbs. 3.2 lbs. 5.4 lbs. 6 lbs. 3.5 lbs. 2.7 lbs. 8.1 lbs. 8.7 lbs.

WTF? Didn’t that go out with shelter halves in the army? Well, no. For those of you who camp in places that are unfriendly to tent floors, or who want the freedom to just have shelter over your head and not necessarily beneath you, this is the way to go. Not having a floor means that you get 81 square feet of space with only 3.5 lbs. of weight. The Megamid can be pitched over rocks which might make a perfect cooking platform (but be careful), and without a floor you can leave your boots on and spill coffee at will. A separate ‘bathtub’ type floor is also available if you feel the need. The Megamid measures 108" x 108" and stands 67" high. It sleeps up to four people. Packs to 6" x 20". Detachable floor (packs to 4" x 11") 1 lb. 8 oz. Megamid Light is 4' 9"H x 7' 2"L x 7' 2"W (packed size 4" x 8") 2 lbs. 7.5 oz. Silver/Blue.

This is the lightest and most compact one person shelter available. Ideal for dual sport and expedition rides as well as for sportbike road-warriors who want to carry a comfortable, lightweight tent in case all of the rest area motels are filled up. (Being prepared for that eventuality is so freeing...) Designed specifically for motorcycle travel with lots of room inside for helmets and gear. Very strongly made of 1.1 oz siliconized ripstop nylon with full bug screens, a quick attach rain fly and a tough Cordura stuff sac. No poles...requires a single 5' high tie off point (handlebar mirror, tree, etc...). Sleeps 1. 11" x 4.5" packed, only 1.8 lbs. #1747 $257.00 Traveler’s Grills Sometimes the sizzle and pop of a steak over an open fire out-serenades a hissing stove. Made of TIG welded type 316 stainlesssteel tubing, thislarge 17" x5.5" grill is great for when youhave something meaty and firm, like steaks or chops, and want to sear ‘em over a fire, like things were meant to be. Featuring rounded corners and a shape that is usefully large and perfect for spanning said fire with the help of a couple of flattish rocks. Both models support medium sized pots and skillets. Both come with a nylon carry bag. Weight: only 5 oz. The alltubing model is great for pots & pans and the mesh version is perfect for direct grilling of fish, meats, etc. Tube #4018 $30.00 Mesh #4019 $40.00 Kermit’s Kamping Chair Chances are you’ve noticed the twisted, broken remains of many a plastic and aluminum discount-store folding chair abandoned or stuffed into garbage cans after rallies and events. Ah, wasteful, race-to-the bottom consumerism... You will NEVER see a Kermit’s Kamping Chair suffer such an ignominious end, however. Because this is the real deal, a hand-crafted piece of artistic sitz-tech that will keep your butt off the ground with unmatched elegance, ruggedness, and utility. Constructed of beautiful oak and aluminum structural elements, with Cordura fabric, the Kermit weighs only 5 lbs. and packs into a 4" x 6" x 23" Cordura bag. No small parts to lose. Set it up once and you’ll see how fast (under a minute, with no tools) and simple it is. It clicks together with the authority of a piece of military gear. Not only that, but this chair’s good looks make it as at home in upscale surroundings as well as your campsite, wherever that may be. No nonsense, stylish, and highquality. When you are ready for your last folding chair, the Kamp Chair awaits. Blue, green, burgundy, or black. #740 $130.00 Leg Extensions (not shown) #741 $35.00 800 222 1994 www.aerostich.com OTR 94 91-112 5/4/05 3:44 PM Page 95 Bear Bag Water Bucket In many areas of the country, a fact of camping out is Animals Eating Your Food When You Aren’t Looking. This can vary from a nuisance to downright dangerous. (i.e., ranging from theft by cute looking small quadrupeds to the Really Large Scary As Hell Befanged Kind.) Based on designs used by backpackers for years, this little self-contained bag/rope/weight sack enables you to hang food high up in a tree branch, out of reach of the aforementioned critters. An even more wonderful use is as a self-storing laundry drying line when spider-webbed across and around the fixtures in your overnight motel room. Lets you dry out all of your wet stuff. Packs down to 5" x 3.5". Has 60 ft. of 600# test paracord and a 1000 Denier Cordura stuffsack. Lightweight, self-supporting two gallon collapsible bucket. Holds plenty of water for all your camp cooking and washup needs. Cute conical shape. Packs in no space. Assorted colors. #4048 $17.00 NikWax Tent & Gear Proof For non-breathable rainwear, tents, backpacks, saddlebags, and duffels. Use on polyurethane and neoprene-backed nylon, polyester and dacron fabrics. Thisstuff will help you stay snug and dry in yourshelter while inclement weather lashes outside. A good thing. 10 oz. #1701 $15.00 Titanium Tent Stakes Ultralight goodness. Tough(er) than the proverbial nail, with the added benefit that they hold your tent up! Although costing more than other tent stakes, you’ll find that you won’t be replacing these every few years. Abuse-resistant and very light. Can be lashed to the end of a long stick to drive interlopers away from the beer cooler. They're 7" long and weigh 12 grams apiece. Humble and elegant at the same time. Package of eight. #1720 $28.00 #1740 $10.00 Lighted Mini Alarm Sometimes it's nice to have a way to get yourself up for your favorite outdoorsy/motorcycling pursuits before the sun burns you out of your tent. (Fishing? Meteor Showers? Hit the Road?) Enter the Mini Alarm. A compact alarmin an elemental and inexpensive execution. You set the alarm, it beeps, you wake up. You know the drill. Runs on one AA, not included. 2.5" x 2.5" x 1.25". #8210 $10.00 2 Lithium AA #858 $7.00 Screaming Meanie / Beekin Nobody needs to wake up this badly. They’ll truly raise the dead...and everyone else who’s trying to get shuteye anywhere in the vicinity. Developed for six-days-on-the-road exhausted truckers and then adopted by crazed Ironbutt competitors, this is the most sadistically loud alarm clock you’ll ever regret setting. Both the Meanie and Beekin models run on a standard 9v battery, and have easy-to read LCD time displays. The Meanie is a 20 hr. countdown timer and has a manual red LED night light and the Beekin is a full function alarm clock with an always-on Indiglow display plus three selectable volume settings (addled, painful and suicidal). Meanie (2.25" x 5.25" x 1") #3835 $27.00 Beekin (2.25" x 6" x 1") #3836 $37.00 Aluminum Mini Umbrella We’ve heard of people going to motorcycle rallies where it didn’t rain... Although it’s quite possible to bench race and tell lies without an umbrella, having one along tendstomake thebest of unfortunate meteorological circumstances. The lightweight aluminumumbrella is38" in diameterwhen open andonly6" long whenclosed, which isprettydarn small. Featuring a strong all-aluminum frame and a nylon canopy, this ultralight ‘brolly’ has an unlimited lifetime manufacturer’s warranty. Most ultra-small ‘briefcase’ umbrellas have only 6 stays and do not bow out taut. This has 8, opens to a taut arc and will protect you better. Aluminum #673 $17.00 Malo goes for a ride Packable Jumbo Umbrella This two-person auto open/close umbrella folds to only 14" length, so it’s perfect for motorcycle packing. Black anodized aluminum ribs make it lightweight and a three section steel shaft makes it strong. A unique vented outer cover makes it easier to control in windy conditions and a nylon case with a belt loop snap hook makes it easy to carry when it’s not raining. The big 54" arc is large enough to protect two people in hard storms and the one handed auto open/close feature is cool to deploy as you exit your tent. Snap, zzip, pop!...drum tight. #1758 $27.00 Harold and Virginia Woodson with Malo 95 OTR 800 222 1994 www.aerostich.com 91-112 5/4/05 3:44 PM Page 96 Wiggy’s Lamilite® Bags Jerry Wigutow’s (Wiggy’s) sleeping bags are carefully designed and manufactured in his modern factory in the mountains of Western Colorado.

Titanium is the lightest and most costly, but it doesn’t cook best because it transfers heat unevenly. If you want to cook anything fancier than boiling water for tea or making raman noodles, it’s not ideal. Stainless Steel is the heaviest, most durable and least expensive.

It’s non-stick surface makes it the quickest type to clean, too. Aluminum pots are lighter than stainless, heavier than titanium and slightly less durable than either. So when do we eat?
