[pct-l] Food in tents

[Jim Banks]

You should be thinking about weight whenever you are considering what you
are going to carry.  Tuna fish in a foil packet would be much better than in
a can.  I hope you did not mean that you were going to rinse the cans out in
the stream.  Never wash your dishes or rinse things out directly in a
stream.  Carry the water at least 100 feet away from the stream to do your
washing, remember that stream is where the next hiker is going to get
his/her drinking water.

Good morning 
I was thinking of bringing some can food like tuna fish etc and eating them
only by streams so I can rinse them out good...I would than poke a hole in
the can and use my para like a  trout stringer but for cans...keep them on
the outside of my pack....
Until I reach a town to toss...
This is my first thru hike or really camping so just wanna try and get on
the same page with the more experienced...
Appreciate all your advice and knowledge!!!
