Hey, Andrew- Nice looking Bombadil! I have the Raceguard G-ones that are sold on the riv site. I really like them on dry roads and gravel. Haven't really ridden anything else on them, but I hear they don't do well in wet conditions. They feel really fast and comfy. They eat up a ton of road v

I need to read this. Been looking for a good read. Thanks Patrick and Erl. Late Fall here opens the window for Desert bike packing, Anza, Mojave and Death Valley. How I'd love New Mexico and Utah's White Rim. ~hugh -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "R

I have never done a touring/camping on a bicycle and hope to do it one day but I have done tons of research on it. 1. Develop a minimalist attitude and pack light. Try to bring things that you need and instead of things you would like to have. Easy to overpack things. My research has told me t

Patrick, Desert Solitaire! One of my favorite books! I reread the first 5 chapters about once a year. “A man on foot, on horseback or on a bicycle will see more, feel more, enjoy more in one mile than the motorized tourists can in a hundred miles.” -Erl -- You received this message because yo

@ Patrick. Pemmican stores indefinitely if prepared properly (jerky dry enough, tallow rendered properly, proportions and mixed properly), though I'm not sure if that's been tested in hot desert country. You likely need to keep it solid for shelf stability at warmer temps. @ Drew: I eat ketogen

Ok. Somewhat related question. When I see people's bike packing setups, Especially the ones without panniers, where is the food being kept? Or are people just eating protein bars and stuff for dinner? I always bring food to make, since that's one of the most fun parts about camping to me. But re

I have to say that, as beautiful as greenery is, the desert scenes -- Georgia O'Keefe's country -- is hard to beat. I recall Edward Abbey's paean to desert beauty, Desert Solitaire; worth reading. Question: how long does pemmican last when properly stored but not refrigerated? And how do you store

I rendered my own tallow from suet. Getting 100% grass fed is critical, both for nutrition and for it staying solid. Here are my notes: ~~~ Grassfed Beef: 40 pounds heart (dried to crisp, roughly 10 pounds total) (no need for it to be heart, but lean cuts. Heart is usually cheap) 20 pounds suet
