[pct-l] Food Food Food...

[Erik The Black]

Hi Sean, 

I wrote a blog post about my food discoveries on my '07 thru hike, along
with daily meal plans. You can check it out here: 

http://www.eriktheblack.com/blog/junkfood-hiking-diet/

In a nutshell, it's all about three things: 

* Fat
* Sugar
* Calories

(The kind of foods that would send you straight into a diabetic comma if you
ate them on the couch, but will keep your internal furnace stoked red-hot
and your legs spinning like wheels on a dragster out on the trail)

Happy Trails!
Erik The Black

Hello,

I am wondering what you guys do or are doing for food on the trail? I would
like to know. Was thinking maybe I could get some more ideas. If I searched
outside of my own ideas as well. I definitely have the insta potatoes
covered. I have to admit they are dang good! I also have the tuna packets
covered. Ok that's about what I have. LOL. So any ideas...especially ones
you are actually using would be great. :)

Thanks again. Sean C.

Sean, here are a couple of sample days that I might pack. I realize that not
every one is going to dehydrate their own food.  However, I thought you
might get some ideas from the rest of the list.  I think Fritos are one of
the best things ever, a lot of cals for the weight.  Anyway, hope it helps.
Day 1

1 pack of Brown sugar Pop Tarts
1 Cliff Bar
2 tortillas
2 single serving Jiff peanut butter packets
4 packets of honey from Chic-fil-a
1 Cliff Bar
1 Snickers
1/2 Jar of Kroger 3 Pepper pasta sauce (Dehydrated) (like Ragu)
1 1/4 cup of spinach&cheese tortellini
1 cup of dehydrated spinach
1 fruit roll up with Scooby-Doo on it
1 Almond Joy

Day 2

1 pack of Brown sugar Pop Tarts
6 chewy granola bars
1 .99 cent bag of Fritos
1 fruit roll up
1 Lipton noodle
1 Loaded Mashed Potato
1 3oz tuna packet
1 Snickers
