Con-tent-ment Comparison
How to be happy with your home on the road
By Phil Sikora, #9135 , February 13 2009
A man walks into a psychiatrist’s office and says, "Doctor, I’m so confused. I don’t know if I’m a teepee or a wigwam." And the Doctor says, "I see your problem; you’re too tense".

Tents are like motorcycles (for me, anyway) – you just can’t have too many. And although there’s a lot of great tents out there, it’s gonna…

Cocoon4 4-season Sleeping System
February 13 2009
When the Annual Motorcycle Camping Issue first began a few years ago, a gentleman that many readers may know – Wayne Marsula, GS guy extraordinaire – sent me an article about the packing and camping setup he uses on his Baja adventures. One picture he included was of his Cocoon sleeping system, basically a sleeping bag, ground pad and bivvy…
Eastman Outdoors Collapsible Aluminum Camp Table
February 13 2009

The impetus for this product review came from a certain fellow who was really interested in having a place out in the woods (or in a parking lot, for that matter) for mixing his Beam and Tonics. T-Mia… you know who you are!

Personally, I use a Coleman Peak1 Feather 442 multi-fuel stove, as it burns gasoline from my airhead, so I don’t have to carry spare fuel. I also like it because it fits inside a set of metal tins that do double…

Pyromid Stove
What's Cooking and Looking Good
Or How to Win Friends (at the Rally Campsite) and Lose Your Meal
Phil Sikora #9135, February 09 2009

When Ian asked me to do another article for the camping issue on a particular stove, I thought it wasn’t a particularly hot topic. But I’ve been slowly warming up to it (sorry, this is as good as it gets at 5:30 in the morning!). Actually, I didn't realize how psyched I was gonna get or how much more depleted…

Choosing a stove for on the road camping
Jeff Singer, #83803 , February 09 2009

When Ian Schmeisser tracked me down and asked me to write a camping stove review, the timing couldn't have been better. Several months ago I had done a similar review, but for myself. In September of 1999 I took a leave of absence from my job and headed out for my "American Cross Tour," Durango, Colorado - San Francisco -…
