>>1612456how long are you touring for? that looks like a ton of stuff
you should really find a way to move some of the cargo up front, balanced weight feels good man
>>1612569don't tour through enriched places
>>1612737the same way as anywhere else
by bathing
>>1612861you really don't want to ride long distances with a backpack on, it's pure torture. at least find a way to bungee-cord it to your rack
>>1613027pretty much never in my experience but it doesn't hurt to carry the small stuff, and it really depends on the sort of roads you'll be riding through. and if you're with people who know bikes, they'll have their bike in good shape so none of that weird thing breaking shit will happen
