The Blackbird's a great hammock, the shelf is a lot more handy than you'd think and the footbox keeps the banana position to a minimum. If it gets under 65-70 at night you're going to want at least some insulation, some closed cell foam does pretty well, but it's a pain to pack on a bike.

I ended up getting an Arrowhead New River underquilt and it packs small enough and once set up on the hammock, there's less fiddling around with it.

These alcohol stoves are the best drat things, light, small, dead simple and almost indestructible.

You're not going to make high cuisine on it, but it's my go to for heating up dehydrated food, morning oatmeal and coffee.

It doesn't always cost a bunch for camping equipment, I've been using this to cook for years, it's light and cheap and fits everything but the food and fuel when packed.

Allstays works pretty good for finding camping spots on the go.

I was planning on stealth camping in the Adirondacks, but the campground on Piseco Lake was close, so I decided to go with that and talked to a nice retired couple camping in their VW microbus for a while.
This was the view from the camp site this morning.

Don't sweat it, just enjoy the ride and take a break every hour or so.

I'm loading up the tuono next weekend for a little motocamping trip in the ny/pa area. Anyone know of any good spots? Basically anywhere within 2-5ish hours of the nyc area would be solid. The more primitive the better. Was gonna do solo but If anyone wants to tag along that would be cool as well!

You can camp in the Adirondacks as long as it's "150ft from a water body, road, or trail, unless the area is posted as "Camping Prohibited."
