That's the plan for most of my meals, I'm only carrying about 4000kcal of MREs because being stranded without food really, really sucks

Thanks for the motivation!

Moral support and encouragement I guess? Advice or pointers from those who are more experienced? I don't question your knowledge or experience, but "camp" won't be that in depth for me, and I can't possibly see taking 3 hours to set up and break camp.

I like credit card touring, lightweight, ride long distances, flop in a hotel at the end of the day. It might not be out of the question to do 175 miles per day if you did that.
I like the
idea of credit card touring, but after my recent divorce, my credit's already pretty shot
Thanks for the input!
