Biker Scout

How small does the Eddie Bauer Lightweight Hiker/Biker Sleeping Bag pack down to and would you recommend it?

I need to get a lightweight summer sleeping bag for backpacking and I sleep well in anything. My only criteria is the weight and pack-ability. Any advice would be much appreciated.

About Me: I am a Life Scout and am pretty new to backpacking.

None of the sellers of that bag list the weight or stuff size. You may be interested in the “Slumberjack Tour Lite 40 Degree” that you can buy at “Bass Pro” or order from Campmor for about $50.

Motorcycle GPS Devices – Make Riding in the Saddle an Adventure

The Global Positioning System (GPS) consists of a number of satellites which are used to track the position of an object, person or item to which a GPS receiver is attached to.

GPS devices are the new face of navigation technology, since they have all the relevant geographical information of the world neatly fed into their data systems. The information is readily available for reference when they are displayed on a GPS device.

Motorcycle GPS units are gadgets that are attached to motorcycles and cross-country riders to trace where they are and where they are going. The motorcycle GPS devices are like microcomputers with internet, since you can even download maps of various places while you are out discovering.

Advantages of Motorcycle GPS Devices

Motorcycle GPS units have a number of uses besides navigation. The units can help in tracking colleagues when you are out on an adventure or on a scouting experience. They are also used as an antitheft system whereby a bike that is stolen and which has the GPS system is able to be tracked. It even helps in tracing accidents deep in forests, sand or ice.

They act as guides and in case you are lost they can retrace the route you followed. They even calculate the distance to your destination and the amount of fuel you use to get there. This is an amazing gadget to use, since it has an easily designed power system where it has a battery which is easily rechargeable. Many motorcycle GPS systems are Bluetooth enabled and thus they can receive information from long distances without necessarily being wired. This means you can even use your cell phone with a motorcycle GPS.

The motorcycle GPS systems can easily be fed new data, like the nearest government offices or other places of public interest like hospitals and cash machines. Some motorcycle GPS come equipped with music players and games to make you enjoy outdoor adventures even more.

Most GPS systems are very are affordable. They can range from $100 to over $300 and their prices rise in proportion to their functions and features. Typically, the cheaper models are usually handheld devices that are attached to the motorcycle using specific mounts or devices used for mountain biking. The more expensive models are specifically designed for motorcycles and are vibration resistant.

The Garmin Zumo 550 and TomTom Rider

There are two original types of motorcycle GPS units, which are the Garmin Zumo 550 and the TomTom rider. Both are resistant to vibration which means they are very robust and will not be effected by the reverberation from your bike. They have a touch screen which you can use, even with your gloves on. They are also able to give voice commands through a special wireless Bluetooth earpiece that fits inside the helmet.

Motorcycle GPS devices make riding in the saddle an even more exciting and worthwhile experience. It is advisable that all bikers whether scouts, researchers or racers should get these GPS systems, since discovering new locations and journeys is an experience like no other.
