Lonesome Hillbilly

The Book On Motorcycle Camping Lonesome Hillbilly

This is not the Second Edition. The Second Edition, with more data and the same price, is now available elsewhere on Amazon. It includes a chapter on Trailers, and miscellaneous corrections and additions.

This book is not about motorcycles, but about how to camp with a motorcycle, especially full-time. It is about what may be the most free and open lifestyle possible today. To go wherever you choose whenever you want, and still live in pretty good comfort at very little expense. While intended for the motorcycle camper, most of the data is equally applicable if you backpack or if you travel by bicycle, car or even RV. Here are the basics you need to know, whether you camp for only a weekend, or for a couple of weeks, or for a whole season. And if you dream of living full-time on the road, this data should make it fairly easy to start. This book describes an appropriate motorcycle and bike gear for camping, and tips for mountain and dirt roads. It also lists the gear you will need and how to pack it. But it is mostly about the camping: Where to go, how to pick a campsite, get firewood, lay out, light, use and put out a fire. There are also sections on Water and on the special needs of Winter Camping. It also covers camp stoves, how to cook on a campfire and at high-altitude, cookware, selecting and storing food so animals do not get at it (and the bears do not get at you), and keeping food without refrigeration. There are even few campfire recipes. This is how the author lives, all year, year after year. This is how to live the dream. Stay Free!
