Thank God tea comes in a wee sachet and the only thing I have difficulty with is buying 250ml of 2% just before pitching my tent. :D Caroline looked at some silicone filter holders at the dollar store similar to this ... Then she saw this and said "I can use regular filters and a chopstick!"

Speaking of tea and coffee, this past winter I ordered a couple of Titanium 750ml mugs from AliExpress as they were $25 each with free shipping, and that lead me to wonder how I could get a stove that would fit inside them with an absolute minimum of moving parts and replenishables... Enter...

There is a Canadian YouTuber, Mark Young in Nova Scotia that really appreciates a good cup of coffee. Coffee in the Woods - YouTube He really likes his AreoPress: On one episode he even roasted his own beans! Thankfully I'm a cuppa tea man, myself. :)

This past Saturday was highlighted by overnight frost warnings, and a day time high of 16 dgrees Celsius, so what better way to celebrate seeing the sun again, than to enjoy lunch 266 km away? 2019 The Fish n' Chips Ride - Charlottetown to Alma NB along the Bay of Fundy 2019 The Fish n' Chips...

Righto. Last weekend it was the East end of the Island, this weekend the North bit needed some exploring (again, for like the fourth time). :) The North Cape Ride It's a fixer upper... When the tourists leave this September, there will be over a hundred of these set up on the point...

French River is a beatiful. Was it the wee lighthouse shown on Google as "New London Range Rear Lighthouse" or the one in French River itself? It hasn't changed too much. There is a rain in the forecast possibly changing to light snow tonight, and the roads are potholed something fierce this...

I thought I'd share a bit of what is going on out in Atlantic Canada with you. http://rottenxxxronnie.blogspot.com/2019/05/2019-panmure-island-ride.html Just day tripping out to Panmure Island Prince Edward Island for an afternoon's ride. The weather is just beginning to warm up to the...

https://rottenxxxronnie.blogspot.com/2018/11/stoveaholic-yes-i-have-problem.html Ummm... Yeah. I was playing around with the butane gas and alcohol stove this year, but my absolute favorite is at the bottom of the page, my SVEA123R. It nests in the two pots that double as a tea mug and cook...

Advrider.com has a cool thread for sharing deals: Best Amazon / Ebay finds/purchases... And I thought what a super idea for the budget riders like me on the lookout for inexpensive mods and camping gear. I've seen bikerbits.com.au review and use this set time after time, and I'm tired of...

Cheticamp River, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia I've been looking for a job after graduating from college recently, and put any riding plans on hold until I saw a facebook post announcing that the Canadian Superbike CSBK was at Shubenacadie this coming weekend! It spurred me into thinking that...

For the second time this season I've had Competition Cycle spoon on new tires for me, having walked in with the rims in hand. I can highly recommend them for great price, service and professionalism. Well done, and thanks!

K, I know you got 'em. When you park it, who is there to meet you at the door? Suzi hanging out doing the neighbourhood watch thing. Making our way along the Gaspe. Taking a breather at the VRRA weekend at CTMP.

I got tired of hauling my gear like this: When I bought my 2001 Suzuki Bandit 600 it came with the racks and a pair of E41 side cases, and those went onto my 2004 Kawasaki KLR as well. About to hit Southwood Road On my way to Bar Harbor Maine They didn't work quite as well as I'd have...

I'm out at CTMP aka Mosport this weekend to watch the Vintage Road Racing Association racing. Spectators pay ten dollars per day, and it's a great time watching the old bikes rip around the track. Pictured here is a 1934 Rudge that didn't quite make it all the way during practice session...

What do you bring, a pic of it loaded on your bike. How has it evolved for you? What would you change about your setup given the money or time?
