Wisedrum...how about a pic with it packed on your bike?

Frulk, I use a two men tent:



Packed like so:



The setup is a 60 litre cargo bag sitting on an OEM rack. Over the cargo bag is thrown 50 litre Oxford Lifetime saddle bags. A tent and camp stool is strapped on the top of the cargo bag. The cargo bag has a wet weather cover over it held by a small cargo net. You can see the bag, red in colour, in the first photo. I like the cargo net as I can slip a water bottle and my wet weather gear through the cargo net webbing at the front of the bag. Makes a good back rest. In general the cargo bag holds all my camping stuff; sleeping bag, sleeping mat, inflatable pillow, spirit stove, food, EBR, cold weather jacket and hat; also spare gloves, chain lubricant and tyre pressure gauge. The saddle bags carry clothes and other personal gear that I need quick access to during the ride. The Oxford bags are top quality with self sealing zips and internal waterproof lining that can be lifted out. The whole kit and caboodle is held down by two cargo straps. I don't trust bungee cords. I have used this rig extensively and it suits me.

7. Road/Toolkit (tools, tire patch, etc).

I got a full tool kit from another thread on this site. Still need to decide on a tire patch kit.

8. Camping Gear (Tent, pad)

I went with Redverz Atacama tent and the Exped LXW 12 mat.

9. Anything else ?

I am putting my camping gear in a Dry bag, clothes and bike gear in the saddlebags, and quick access items in the tank bag. I also went with the ridiculously large tent because my next trip has a week of destination involved where I will want to keep the bike away from prying eyes as well as the elements.
