Close to what we use. For us the stove was just for coffee in the morning so 1 fuel canister was all we needed on our three week road trip and we didn't use half of it.

Are you guys backing to go somewhere, you didn't mention?
We leave in the morning to head up to NH to spend the summer with the family, I just hope it's not as hot as everyone keeps saying its getting!

Funny we are leaving for NC/TN. Skyline, BRP and the other must do's like the Dragon. I was down there last year and it was awesome! I hope that tropical storm won't effect that area or we might go more west and hit Nashville, Mammoth Caves and West Virgina.

93 degrees outside my house right now. It's been a hot few days. I'm near Rochester NH a stones throw from Maine.

What are your weather people saying?

In my saddlebag! Never leaves unless I'm wearing it.

Default Thank you!

This is what I've been looking for. Newbie motorcycle camper here. Wanted to see what the experienced people pack and what it looks like. Would like to see what that looks like when on the bike for size comparison.

These storms are hit or miss, I normally just go and if it starts to look or sound like its getting bad just adjust or find something more secure for the night. As long as your staying away from the coast you should be fine.

We're heading up to Lancaster NH and Danville VT. My family all live on the Northern VT/NH border and some up closer to the Canadian border. Also plan on camping for a weekend over in Bar Harbor (Bah Hahba)Ma, we we're hoping to get a way from the heat for a couple of weeks!

Wow! That's a lot of stuff that fits in that small of a bag. Thanks for sharing. I've been looking for some stuff to get started doing more camping on the bike.
