MY WAY!
And my way can be easily done without a heavy load, therefore does
NOT require a touring bike.
You’ve made your one and only useful contribution in your first post…
I also have more than 10,000 miles of touring experience under my belt
You can keep your chest thumping to yourself. (Or a proper touring thread)
I, on the other hand, prefer a bike I can ride 10,000 miles
a year within 100 mile of my own house, sleeping in my own proper bed! I will however, take that same bike for a couple overnights in a state park or a well stocked commercial campground (mind you, I didn’t elaborate in my OP, I’m going overseas on those trips). If I have to eat at a restaurant or eat peanut butter crackers for those couple dinners, that’s just fine.
Like I said, read my first post.
(Not to say this thread isn’t already done to death saved from some old timer insist on perpetuating outdated way of touring)
p.s.
All your posts have odd looking square blocks embedded inline where quotes should be. I don't know what you’re posting with. But it’s really annoying to read with those things getting in the way
