What kind of tent? Is that a hammock with someone in it?

It's a hammock with a thermorest pad in the bottom for insulation.

What looks like a tent is actually just a tarp rigged up over the hammock.

Default Tent Camping South Dakota

Tent Camping Ellsworth AFB Rapid City, South Dakatoa Territory. $10 per night with showers, picnic table, laundry facilities and BX service station nearby. Not exactly primitive, but I still had to sleep on the ground on my 2.5" thickThermarest.

I have the same chair, the best for a bike. Sturdy, compact when traveling, and light weight.

PS When traveling. A 5' stand up tent with garage, air mattresses, a few blankets, sleeping bag, air compressor, laptop, a few 10X10 tarps, 2 coolers, and other necessities w/ 4 days worth of clothing w/extra pair of boots. Pack is 65# and the saddle bags are full as are the 2 upper lid bags with on road essentials.

I like to travel solo, and prefer camping over motels. Here's a pic of my "hillbilly pack" on the BRP: tent, Thermarest mattress, folding chair pretty much builds my campsite; I don't cook on the road.

This is why I got into motorcycles. I can't wait for the first camping trip! Thanks for the pics y'all! Keep 'em coming! Most interested in seeing how everyone loads up their bike and what everyone considers as the essentials.
