> "Real food" takes time.

And what's the problem with that? Surely you didn't travel via motorcycle complaining that motorcycles are "too slow" for the trip. It was an integral part of your traveling experience and without it it would've been completely different.

Eating is a normal part of life. Any inconvenience in it is exactly part of a human experience, much like what you wanted with the trip. If your bike broke down for that extra 100 miles or if it was too cold in camping it wasn't "an issue", it was just life. You could have solved those two issues by traveling by plane and staying in hotels, but that's exactly the kind of convenience that you wanted to avoid.



Not everyone wants an "experience" every time they need to feed their stomach a morsel of food.

People are pretty capable of deciding that for themselves. No need to try to convince anyone what kind of appetite they should have for ceremony and the, deep voice, "human experience."


And what's the problem with that?

Because that's often time I'd rather spend doing other things.


Essentially there was next to no way for me to actually have food I wanted, keep it safely, cook it properly, etc. Sometimes I wanted to make it to a specific destination the next day. Fast food not being an option, setting up a small kitchen setup 3x a day really would put a damper on things.


Do you realize that you're basically saying "stop enjoying yourself, you're not doing it properly"?
