Like 1000 to 5000 miles from the neartest place.
I know it can happen and wondering what do you do if it does?
uh call mommy using "OnStar"
seriously:roll:
Where are you going?Antartica? 1,000 miles from the nearest place?>>
If you said like 50 miles from McDonalds,That I could believe.
Eureka was a great tent I used in the early 1970's.
Uh maybe you should take a few camping trips with the Boy Scouts,for starters,
Or at least go camping via Automobile to try your camping gear out first.
If you have a lawn in your yard you can as suggested ealier in the thread,try your tent in the yard.
Try doing a search for camping threads here at Anandtech?not sure if the older threads are still available,
but,some had some great advice,like the thread about camping in the Grand Canyon.
If you insist on touring via bicycle,you better get some flat tire proofing,added to the tires before hand,
I would also suggest a safety flag.And get a Good helmet.
Maybe get a bicycle trailer to haul stuff,also.
Older bikes had racks,and I have seen "saddle bags" on bicycles also.
