"Winter" Motorcycle Camping Trip: Testing My New Moto Camping Tent and Sleeping Pad in February

When you love to go motorcycle camping, winter is the worst. When we had a week of unseasonably warm weather crop up in the middle of February, I just had to get out on a motorcycle camping trip on my 2022 Kawasaki KLR 650 Adventure. This moto camping trip took me to River Bend campground near Sweet Home, Oregon for a fun night of dual sport motocamping in colder temperatures. After securing my preferred motorcycle camping spot, I was stoked to discover that I could buy firewood on site. I was then very disappointed when it arrived soaking wet. A quick trip into town for beer, ice, dinner, and hauling wood on my motorcycle later and I was all set for the evening. I was also testing out a bunch of new motorcycle camping gear on this trip, including my new Big Agnes Tiger Wall UL2 Bikepacking tent, Hultafors Hunter's Axe, Get Out Gear Down Blanket, and upgraded Big Agnes Q Core Ultra Air Mattress. I'm happy to report that all my new motocamping gear kit functioned perfectly and I'll be taking all of these items on future motorcycle camping trips with me!
