Anyone here riden Alaska to Argentina? I think that's my next tour.

Rusty:
Thanks for all those great tips Hugh! I am slowly getting my gear in order and plan to have a trip going by spring.

You might want to look into using saddle/frame/handlebar bags in place of racks. Here's a good article http://www.bikepacking.com/plan/guide-to-bikepacking-bags/

I plan to get a frame bag since I'm getting the Jandd front rack that is more or less a glorified rear rack but i figure it with be a good pair with my fairdale rear rack for the light journeys I'll be embarking on. Handlebar bag might be a smart addition though.

Any tips on planning camp reservations? How to plan weather, choosing non busy times throughout the year, etc.

Thank you again for the advice!
