This is new to me...

Where I grew up hunting there was no motorbike trails and we always had horses because of my dad's job. I grew up riding and packing horses so that's what we used to hunt on/with. Well, fast forward a lot of years and the area I elk hunt in now has tons of bike trails. I have figured if you can't beat them then join them ...(growing up I was completely against bikes and I'm still not real fond of them but you can go a long ways in a hurry)

My question is does anyone on here pack in camp on a dirt bike? I'm looking for cheap ideas for frames on the front and back of the bike.

I had a Yamaha Fat Cat bike until a character stopped by my camp and wanted to but it. It was a good bike for getting around and hauling out meat. The trouble I had was limited trails to use in on. Now I wish I had it back because it was cheap to ride around and great on the Forest Service roads that are slowly brushing in.

I picked up an older Yamaha TT225 last fall. I was thinking of an electric bike, then found this online for a fraction of the price. There are a lot of Forest Service single track trails where I hunt that are hike, horse, bike or MC only. We shall see. Maybe a cargo trailer. Riding w 100# of dead weight on a rack would be more difficult than having a 130# buddy behind you, since meat can't lean or balance.

I still have 1 horse and she can pack it out ... I mainly want a little frame to attach a sleeping bag and a small tent ad maybe a little food, not many total lbs but some space. That way I can have all my hunting gear and bow still in my smaller day pack... I might have to just wear a bigger pack

My buddy has one of the Yamaha TT225s also. Possibly the best? hunting trail bike out there. Those old Honda Trail 90s? were really good rigs also.

Or build one out of PVC pipe?
