Why should you consider taking a table & chair…

  • Comfort and Ergonomics:A chair provides a comfortable place to sit and relax, especially after a long ride. It allows for better posture and reduces strain on your back and legs compared to sitting on the ground. 
  • Meal Preparation and Dining:A table offers a stable surface for preparing meals, eating, and enjoying coffee or drinks. This makes cooking and eating much more convenient and enjoyable, especially if you’re dealing with uneven ground. 
  • Designated Workspace:A table can serve as a workspace for tasks like map reading. It can also be used for organizing gear. You can even use it for a laptop if needed. 
  • Socializing:A table and chairs create a more inviting space for socializing with fellow campers. 
  • Reduced Fatigue:Having a designated place to sit and rest can help reduce overall fatigue, making the trip more enjoyable. 
  • Improved Hygiene: A table can help keep your food cleaner. It also ensures your cooking utensils are cleaner than if you were using the ground as a surface. 

Considerations:

  • Weight and Space: Motorbike camping requires careful consideration of weight and space. Choose lightweight, foldable, and compact tables and chairs designed for camping to reduce the impact on your bike’s carrying capacity.
  • Alternatives: If space is extremely limited, consider alternatives like a lightweight backpacking chair. A hammock can also offer some of the benefits of a chair in a more compact form.
  • Prioritisation: Assess your personal needs and preferences. If comfort and convenience are high priorities, then a table and chair are worthwhile additions. If space and weight are extremely limited, you need to rank other gear.
