What is self-contained bicycle touring?

Some of us are definitely too full of our selves, but that isn't what we're referring to when we say, "self-contained". Self-contained touring is a style of bicycle touring where one carries all of his/her provisions for food preparation, shelter, clothing, etc., in bags or panniers affixed to the bike using light-weight racks. This allows for maximum flexibility when touring on longer trips. Self-contained touring lowers the overall cost of touring, while increasing the potential enjoyment and experience level. It also increases the physical requirement with the added weight and wind resistance of the loaded panniers.

I am looking for the best shortest explanation of what a FLBT

Least words to explain a FLBT so other people that don’t know what a FLBT is

i.e. What is a Fully Loaded Bike Tour ?

Its when a person will cycle on a bike and carry with him/her all the necessities needed to survive.

This is for a good charitable cause
