Speaking of shellac flakes, can you use a dried out can and rehydrate that with alcohol? Seems like with enough time it would work. On Sunday, August 20, 2017 at 9:55:13 PM UTC-5, Jack Barnes wrote: > > I ignored the "bulge" of a shellac can this morning, man was that a > mistake – As I started

Re: [RBW] Re: Show me your touring/camping setup!

@ 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

Re: [RBW] Re: Show me your touring/camping setup!

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

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

Hey Doug, that's a clever solution... might give it a try. However I've also just learned that Tektro now sells a kit which allows you to swap out the bolts. Which makes me wonder if I could just supply my own long bolt from the hardware store... hmmm. -JB On Monday, August 21, 2017 at

Hey Jack. Not sure if you'd be into this, but if you have a set of normal recessed nut brakes you can use the rear on the front and the front on the rear. You put the short bolt brake on the fork and put the nut inside the steerer. In the back, use an external nut with a washer or one of those

So many options, depending on gear. My suggestion is gather together what you are taking and pack it and ride it, even for a short ride. You'll learn a LOT. Including taking only what you need, and absolutely want, to have to enjoy and be warm and dry and fed and hydrated. In short, don't over
