It’s a little too cold to go motorcycling.
There’s a lot of ice on the roads these days, which makes traveling long distances quite daunting, and winter camping requires a lot of packing and compactness, so it seems a little out of season for motorcycling, but with a little imagination and planning, our journeys can begin and be fun.
Why motocamping is good: create a neighborhood routine.
If you’re traveling by car, you can drive 300 kilometers to go far, but when you’re motocamping on a motorcycle, you want to go local rather than long distances, and you want to keep it minimalist and emotional by packing only the necessary equipment.
This often involves a tarp or minimalist tent, some simple cookware, a table, chairs, and a drip coffee set.
What’s great about motorcycling is that it allows you to get to some of your favorite spots that would otherwise be inaccessible to cars.
It’s a great way to get closer to nature and create your own me-time sanctuary and routine
You can do it on any motorcycle.
I’m looking at a Honda Hunter Curve today, and it doesn’t look like much, but it’s a single-seater, and it has a place for luggage in the back, so you can put a tarp, a tent, a duffel bag, a backpack, a whole bunch of stuff in there.
Usually with family camping, you can bring a lot, but with a motorcycle, you can pare it down to just enough to fit in there, and you can have a backpack, a backpack, a backpack.
I’ve seen people use Builford’s bushcraft packs when I’ve been bushcraft camping in the past, and today, when I’m moto-camping, I’m wearing Builford’s Bikers crew backpack.
