Try http://www.crazyguyonabike.com - lots of info there, including
equipment lists and, often, lists of what worked and what didn't.

the WORLDCAT a search engine covering the american library catalogs
has multi listings for related subjects for example montaineering, a
good choice as it is extreme and serious yielding...
there is a bike camp book or two.
the Sierra Club Guides are excellent. search Sierra Club into the
subject box of the WORLDCAT and zap. Order thru the interlibrary loan
service.
Sierra has an excellent out of print tourng book.
and there are privately published memoirs but i haven't the directions
to find them.

Bikelist.org has a good touring site as well as a good search engine.

forgot: two of rodale's books, one a compilation of odd bits of
information and two the road cyclists book are good reads for touring.
also marty, whose last name i duhduhduh but the book is Against the
Wind (??)is an interesting story aboput a cyclists journalist on a
dirt bike taking the trans canadaRR to vancouver then the ferry up to
Alaska throwing rocks at the bears then cycling back to New England.
Check out Canadian camping hiking trekking books at WORLDCAT for a
somewhat different ambience from down here.
Touring is dangerous. Obviously. like touch typing or flatout repeat
countersteerbrakecornering the synapses form and then deliver.
a lot synaptic cohesion and growth is aided by the equipment which can
be found looking through Rodales Backpacker magazine that is AAA.
and some not for example check out various bag sites try peter white
cycles and jannd. but customizing the packs with individual slots for
each piece required to say deliver breakfast,decamp and ride or fix a
flat before the hombres arrive to ask just what the hell you think
your doing here saves so much time on the road that maybe yawl get
there before dark ina good mood.
itsa art.
now how yawl gonna dry the too heavy tent??

another book! Thomas'Book of Knots

[g.daniels]

Having difficulty finding thomas' knot book, maybe wrong title?
encyclopedia
of? my library copy was lifted.
a knot to appreciate for a water jug to frame: loop three times around
jug handle then start double hitch around the last loop. Avoids
crushing the jug handle. Take a turn on the frame before tying a
hitch. Thomas sez: "always take a turn if yawl can"
woolmort has a nice supply of rope. 1/4" works fine. Hold the rear of
the sand while changin tubes. burnmeltstompwipe the ends on JB's camp
stove.
