[pct-l] Fwd: Trail Gear

I am heading out on the trail this year and talked to quite a few hikers and friends about this same dilemma. I found pea protein and rice protein powders that I plan to use daily. It's all personal choice, some people prefer whey and soy protein, but whatever works good for your body is what I would recommend. It's fairly lightweight, comes in many flavors and you can mix it with water. Some people even add a little spiraIina (super green food) to add an extra boost of goodness! I haven't decided if I'll drink it in the morning with my biscotti to make for a fast exit from camp or have it before I go to bed at night. The protein is a great way to repair muscle damage that we incur day after day on the trail, plus a full belly helps with better sleep at night. Anyhow, that's my two cents. Hope to run into out there.
