I'm used to motorcycle camping, like looooong distances...in the woods, hundreds of miles from civilization...where...you're very limited in what you can carry. so when I have a chance to camp out of a car...I do pretty well in packing even a small cooler!
since much of my gear is backpacker type gear, for the motorcycle, I've learned to use what I can.
my camp cooking gear is a set of small titanium cups/pots for boiling water, heating up stuff...and a small sno-peak camp stove.
folds up to the size of a matchbox almost.
