This covers the basics of bike touring and bikepacking. The information is somewhat detailed without being laborious. The “pros and cons” for gear options helps give readers the kind of food for thought that may help them when they’re faced with making decisions. Sb 144p
This is a good introductory book, and a quick read. Provides what seems to cover the basics. If you don't have someone to talk with or mentor you about touring, then seems like a good intro discussion.
