Hello All,
I've been getting ready for spring and haven't posted in awhile but I wanted to share my tips. I ride an 09 RKC with my wife and we carry a 75 lb pack with camping gear. This is mostly ultralight stuff from MEC and works very well.
A subset of our camping gear is a picnic set up that was suggested by an ultra light professional hiker. We have used it extensively last year and I can't imagine being without it now; it's based predominantly on MEC gear as well.
First, we use the Trangia Swedish mess kit and alcohol fuel container. The 25-5UL version, and we put a small Liltech kettle in the middle of it which fits, adds a few ounces of weight and is worth it's weight in gold for hot coffee and tea at the camp site or any road side picnic table. We also keep a 4 litre dromedary and water filter pump system. Each litre is 4 lbs and we find 4 litres is the right amount for us.
We have a plastic plate, cup, bowl, knife, fork, spoon set as well as collapsible pail/sink that holds 15 litres and collapses to the size of about an apple. We use the ultralight towels, have a camp light and comprehensive first aid kit. For camp ground showers we have a travel kit for shampoo, toothpaste and brushes, make up (for her, I don't wear it any more

), Swiss army knife with corkscrew, bottle opener, and can opener among other things, a down filled air mattress (times two), inflatable pillows, mirage synthetic sleeping bags, and the Mutha Hubba tent and footprint of course. I'm leaving out a few things, but this all fits into our 75 litre German made Deemeed motorcycle luggage pack, and weighs about 75 lbs and can support both of us.
The saddle bags hold Kermit chairs, and various other things like food, coffee and tea etc, but with this set up we can pull over anywhere like a road side picnic table, heat up a couple of cans of anything and have a hot coffee with coffee mate, and pack up again within 30 minutes which costs us the price of two cans (3$ maybe). Drinking filtered water means no travellers diarrhea too.
Very frugal/cost effective and fast/convenient and whenever we tire of it we can always grab a motel or a diner meal.
