I prefer the coleman woodsman, sure it's not as small folded down, but i just strap it on top of my other gear and it's much better to sit on.

I bought me some new poo poo to wear when I get wherever I'm going that day. I went with multifunctional, light and warm if needed. Yes, it's a zip off pants, but no need to bring separate shorts in the summer overrides that.



Devold Optimum wool jacket, North Face Paramount peak II pants.

I got em both in the mail yesterday, they both look okay but the leg bottoms on the pants are ridiculously wide, zero taper below the knee. As I should have spotted from the images.. They're the right size in the rear end area and as shorts so I'll just get the zip-off legs sewn in a little. If they're still hosed up I'll just use them as shorts.

Do you charge a battery pack with it first and then charge stuff with that? I mean it's 0.4 amp continuous and 0.8 amp peak output, most of my stuff want 1 amp minimum.

I just charge 10k mAh battery banks in my tank bag from the dual usb outlet while I ride. The battery pack makes it easy to top off the tablet/phone in the hammock at night.

4 day weekend coming up, leaving after work today. The nx250 is loaded up, yellow bag is hammock, underquilt, sleeping bag, cooking gear and misc stuff. side bags are food, water, tools and clothes. Ortlieb made nice motorcycle stuff, shame touratech bought it up, rebranded it and increased the price by 100%. Rok straps are awesome for bags.

Route is about 700 miles, mostly small roads, gravel where we can. The higher altitude roads that aren't plowed in the winter is still snow cowered and drifty, so it limits the choice of routes a little.

Very good all in all. We got some major rain one day so we splurged on a hotel room to dry up properly. Did in total about 830 miles.

Rode supertankers


Saw some nice waterfalls


Made dinner


Dinner with a nice view


Saw some rune stones


Got educated on some local history(big image if you actually want to read


Because we spotted this huge thing a little ways from the road.


Bikes worked perfectly. I had to adjust my chain after the ride, my brother had to add a little oil, that was about it.

We use hennesy hammocks, they got a built in mosq net that works pretty good. And it's pretty early in the mosquito season here, only saw a few. They don't appear in numbers until late may.
The area we where in are pretty good also, no midges. In the more inner eastern parts midges are a real pain. You really want one of these or a really smoky fire.
