you realize you going about this all backwards, right?
never done any touring, don't know what you'll take, don't know where you'll
tour, don't know the terrain, don't know the limits, don't have....well....anything!
seems foolish to me to buy bags and then fill them....which leads to overpacking,

all available space.
