8 | WheelsOfGrace.com | #74 Ultimate Moto Trip Packing List — Law Tigers C A M P I N G G E A R A N D F O O D S T O R A G E Over the years I've primarily used Ziploc Bags to store my clothes, but this past year I upgraded to compression travel cubes. I use both the REI Brand travel bags and the Eagle Creek Compression Bags. The REI ones feel a little more durable, but both brands work extremely well. You can pack a TON in these. So again, try to not overpack. Depending on how far you intend to ride, and for how long, will definitely determine how much clothing you'll need. My general rule of thumb is, if I'm leaving for 5 days or more, I pack for 3-5 days: • Sea to Summit 20L Big River Dry Bags: I use two of these. One for my Camp Kitchen, and one for my Camp Gear (both listed in Part 1). I purchased the Big River versions of these dry bags over the thinner, lightweight options for overall durability purposes. Nobody wants to get to camp and realize their sleeping bag is a soggy mess. Keeping your gear in a dry bag will definitely save you some unexpected headaches. • Odor Proof Bags: I keep all of my prepackaged food in these bags to • avoid any run ins with furry critters. Ten years ago, when I started riding motorcycles, I was immediately hooked on long distance motorcycle trips. Seeing the country from two wheels and being fully self-sufficient along the way is extremely invigorating. The most popular question I get asked by y'all is what gear I camp with and take with me on motorcycle trips. Here's my Part 2 of 3 - Ultimate Motorcycle Trip Packing List. THE ULTIMATE MOTORCYCLE TRIP PACKING LIST By Staci Wilt PART 2 OF 3 RideForFood.com C L O T H I N G S T O R A G E Any additional clothing, I pack usually involves a sweatshirt or wind breaker for added layers on the go. These don't get compressed into the cubes since I need quicker access to them. You really don't need a ton of clothes on the road. From a friend's house, Washaterias (that's what us Texans call laundromats) to DIY sink laundry machines or the Big Agnes pumphouse, there's always an opportunity to get your clothes cleaned. • 1 extra pair of jeans • 4 extra t-shirts or tank tops • A Hat or Beanie (usually both) • 1 pair of leggings for sleepwear or activewear purposes • 1 pair of shorts • 2 bras (sports bra, bralette, whatever you want) • 5 pairs of underwear • 1 Long Sleeve Shirt • 2-4 pairs of socks • 1 pair of shoes • 1 pair of flip flops
