Moto-Camping Lessons Learned?

  No matter what luggage you have, don't pack more than 75% of capacity. You'll never pack it on the road as tight as you did at home. The first time you break camp in the pouring rain you'll be thanking me for this tip.

My motocamping lesson: a good cheap motel beats just about any campground if you want to sleep.

I suspect that others, like me, are deliberately _seeking_ to camp.  Though we want to sleep well while do do so.

Nalgene bottle marked with a big X to avoid confusion. This is to be used for a pee bottle so you don't have to get out of the tent in the middle of the night after drinking your beer.

That doesn't work when it's dark, and the X will eventually wear off or you won't see it. Use a large Gatorade bottle for piss and Nalgene bottle for drinking - harder to confuse the two at O'dark thirty.

   Just get out of the tent and go piss if you need to take a piss

Those train tracks that you see over there will have trains on them every half hour after you fall asleep and not a moment before.
