You can get a set of bags to keep everything neat and not flapping in the breeze:


Side view from the same trip:



In the tail pack is a 3-person cabela's tent, eureka sleeping bag, ether-compact6 sleeping pad and a tarp for a ground cloth.

The saddle bags have 4 days of clothes on one side and an extra pair of sneakers, a netbook plus a few paperbacks on the other side.

It's pricey but for it's size and weight I bought the Cabela's XPG "ultralight" tent

The selling points for me were:
It rolled up small enough to fit inside the tailpack of my cortech sportbag, and had enough room for an extra tarp, and my sleeping bag.

I bought it to go to the MotoGP races and it survived the last vestiges of hurricane Ike as it rolled through, it was still standing when i got back, and nothing inside was wet.

Weighs less than 7 pounds(though not by much)

Oh and I bought the 3 person setup(and it all still fits).
