Essential Gear when Camping with a Kawasaki® Powersports Vehicle
A little while back, we provided some helpful hints to camping with a powersports vehicle. Now we’re back to camping with our Kawasaki powersports model, and this time, we want to help you pack all the right gear for your trip. Whether you’re heading out straight from your property or you’re riding to your camping spot from the trails, make sure you have these essential pieces of equipment. You can also contact Cool Springs Powersports in Franklin, Tennessee, for additional help in preparing for your next camping trip. We proudly serve Nashville, Spring Hill, and Columbia.
What to Keep in Mind
As you’re gathering your things, you’ll want to be mindful of just how much storage space you have. It probably won’t be very much, even if you’re working with a larger Kawasaki model. Once you have all your essentials, you might find you still need to scale things back. We recommend looking into travel-sized products to save space and looking for camping gear designed for travelers without a lot of room to spare. This can include backpacking gear.
If you’re still struggling to fit the bare minimum, contact Cool Springs Powersports about aftermarket storage solutions that you might be able to install to your powersports vehicle.
Shelter
We’ll start with shelter, assuming you need to bring some with you. Tents can be big, even when you get something just for one or two people. In fact, it could be the thing that takes up the most space. This is where backpacking equipment can come in handy. This kind of camping gear is designed to be as compact as possible, which means you’ll really benefit from using them.
You can also use this kind of gear for sleeping supplies. It’s probably going to be a little more expensive, but if you’re dedicated to camping with your Kawasaki powersports vehicle, then it’ll be well worth it.
Clothes
Next you’ll need to pack clothes. Trying to minimize the number of clothing items you bring is paramount to saving room. There are probably some pants you can wear two days in a row and take advantage of laundry facilities as they become available. Or, if you’re interested in an authentic experience, wash some clothes by hand.
You’ll also want to check the weather forecast before you start packing. This will clue you in to whether you’ll need to be packing lighter clothes for warm weather, or packing layers for cold weather.
Food and Cooking Supplies
Now let’s move onto cooking supplies. You’re probably starting to run short on storage space, so try to bring things that won’t take up too much space and don’t require many tools to cook. This can be dehydrated foods, trail mix, bag meals, and other similar items. You’ll want them to be things that fill you up while also providing the kind of nutrients you need to stay healthy.
In terms of cooking ware, try to stick with just utensils. Trying to pack things like skillets and pots can take up a lot of space that you may not have. Be as conservative as possible when it comes to food, while still avoiding unnecessary health issues.
Miscellaneous Items
Finally, tents, clothes, and food aren’t the only things you need when you go traveling. There are hygiene supplies to consider, emergency kits, and more. We recommend gathering these items in a bag so they’re easy to access and don’t spill out everywhere.
At this point, all you’ll need to do is pick a place to go and take your Kawasaki powersports vehicle to places that spark your interest.
