Well, he's passing way too far south of me to lend a hand on anything he may need. It looks like he now has the bare essentials, save for possibly a stove and I'm not sure how he is set for lights.

I'm glad to see the community step forward and help him out with the necessary things to do this more safely for the sake of helping a cyclist and moving beyond what ever our personal beliefs may be about what our how he is doing it. I admire his capacity to dream, while I cringe at his capacity to plan, lol.

Let's hope he understands layering and the warning signs of hypothermia. The temps after he gets out of New Mexico may not be below freezing during the day but the wind is an opponent all it's own.
