      The Alps Lynx 1 has been on my motorcycle gear acquisition list for over a year but I much prefer sleeping in the lay-flat Hennessy hammock. Rather than buy a tent, I modified the Hennessy hammock to pitch on the ground, albeit as an inconvenient and sub-optimal tent which I justify by the weight savings.

    Excellent video and product reviews, sir! I second the AeroPress for great coffee in the mornings. I'd never thought of the hunter's tree strap for securing gear at camp... that's awesome! I'm definitely adding a couple of those to my moto-camping kit.
    Your video production is always top-notch. Most people don't realize how much effort is required behind the scenes to capture all of the angles, and how much time is required to set up for those shots. Kudos to you sir! As always, I'm looking forward to your next videos! 👊😉👍 --QM

    One of the best additions I’ve made to my camping gear is a backpacking pump for my air mattress. Instead of sitting around blowing, I just attach it and turn it on, and by the time I’ve set up the rest of my sleeping gear, the mattress is full. Takes away my least favorite part of setting up camp. Thermarest makes one for the new valve you’ve got, but I have a Flextail Tiny Pump X and it works great for my older valve.

    Good vid Stirling. I've replaced most all my motorcycle camping equipment in the last couple years. Some really good innovative products out there. Several because of charging compatibility and capability. The old Thermarests are truly outdated. Lot of good very simple stoves as well. But the Wolfman equipment is still yop notch, and made here for the most part.

    I’m just about to do my first “motocamping” trip with my first bike over 360 ccs zigzagging from the Bay Area across the Sierras up through redwoods, Crater Lake, Bendover, and back home to Washington.
    Haven’t ridden in years, now doing research. Gone are the simple old days of bungee-cording a grip or a backpack on the back of my bike and heading out. Feels a bit overwhelming, but got good tips in this and his other gear video. I especially like the cold oats and the thermos cooking. I wish my CB500X could hold a cooler, but I’m not doing hard panniers.

    A very handy add on to a dualsport is an "omega" made from 3/16 brazing rod. Heat and bend the circle around a 3 inch or so pipe. Bend the ears of the omega fairly tightly and trim to about 3/4 inches long. Wire tie to handlebar brace over bar clamp. Fold out flat and put morning coffee cup in it or use as a glove holder. Folds down when not in use.

      And, this was a new one for me, my waste snaps on my motorcycle pants were getting harder and harder to ‘snap’ and to pull open. In a desperate attempt, last second before a ride, I carefully gave a squirt of chain lube/wax inside the female portion of the snap! Fixed it 100%….. like new!!

    Hi Sterling. Thanks for another high production quality video. Have you considered getting an electric portable air pump to inflate your sleeping pad and pillow? The smallest ones are only about the size of a D cell battery and they charge from USB. Larger (and less expensive) ones are closer in size to a can of soup. I find it's a convenience worth the weight. There's plenty to choose from on amazon.

      No, I don’t mind the few seconds it takes to blow it up and that is one less piece of equipment to charge, etc.. Thanks for your comments.!
