Camping with a bike’s limited load-carrying capacity presents a few unique challenges. Adventure Rider Magazine invited a few unique characters to offer some thoughts on how to best prepare for the situation. The wrinkle is, it’s real camping. No mains power and no running water. Scarier still, no phone or internet connectivity. Crikey.

To camp in comfort from a bike for any amount of time requires some planning, and knowledge of the specialised equipment available can make all the difference between a dream ride and a nightmare.

For a knowledge of specialised bike-camping equipment there would be few in Australia who could match Adventure Moto’s Steve Smith, Touratech Australia’s Robin Box and Andy Stapz’z Andy White. We invited the trio to spend a few nights in the Kosciusko National Park so we could check out the gear they carried and how they carried it.
