[pct-l] THREE questions

[anita griffin]

We are section hikers and do not use a stove. We have been 2 weeks between hot meals and did not suffer.

Breakfast: Instant breakfast with instant coffee and dry milk portioned at home, granola and dry milk - add water when ready to eat
Lunch: Bars, nuts, dry fruit, etc
Dinner: I make my own dehydrated meals (some as simple as canned chili), package in zip locks, and add water an hour or so before eating

> 1. I read the occasional log journal reporting that going stoveless on the PCT can be a choice that simplifies the hike, though of course it eliminates certain comforting food/drink options. Anyone who has gone stoveless, I'd like to hear your thoughts on it if you're willing. The four of us are considering it.
> 2. What is the most common solution to posting journal entries? Sending written transcripts to friends who post them? or?
> 3. For any of the 2011 PCT thru-hikers who made it to Canada, any difficulties with border control? My understanding is that year after year it isn't an issue -- but there was a rumor that this year was different, and I thought I'd ask.
