i find that after a few weeks on any trip, i get into this state where i'm constantly hungry and fantasizing about pork chops and ice cream and greasy bacon breakfasts. everything tastes good and i eat whatever is convenient and cheap

my water setup depends which bike i am riding and whether i am pulling a trailer. the capacity you need depends on variables such as distance between services, whether you free camp, temperature/weather/humidity, etc. i carry as many bottles as my bike has cages, and i often use a camelbak, as it is a nice daypack for off bike trips. i like to reuse 2 liter soda bottles for pannier or trailer water storage. they are cheap, durable, compactable, and, unfortunately, too disposable. i carry iodine or chlorine or whatever and bring a filter if i will be someplace remote.
