[pct-l] foods you would never pack again

[dicentra]

First off, please don't bury food. Animals CAN smell it and will dig it up... We 
don't need more human-food trained animals out there. Only cook the amount of 
food you are going to eat. Pack it in pack it out. Don't ruin it for the rest of 
us.

Pasta can be cooked at home then dehydrated to be made "instant" on the trail. 
And there are literally hundreds of different kinds of sauces. Nope. Never 
boring.

Any kind of pasta grows old over time.  There is nothing like warm, 
sticky, undercooked, "make it seem good by calling it al dente" pasta.  
Boil the water.  Let the pasta soak.  Hah!

And after a couple weeks you realize you're carrying a lot of air with 
that macaroni or rotilli or???  About the only pasta worth carrying is 
spaghetti - you're not carrying air in your baggie.

I remember choking that stuff down because I was hungry and knew if I 
buried it (and I've buried lots of pasta) I'd be hungry later.  Choke, 
snort, cough, swallow, grunt, moan.  No more pasta please!!!

between hills are filling with water, and skunks are the most visible 
form of current roadkill.  Prairie dogs come in April when the snow is 
gone and the roads are warm but the earth is frozen still.
