Flying from Israel to the US appx 4-5-09 and planning to get started at 7-5-09/Nobo.
Planning for anything less than 70 days.
Training real hard already and getting the right equipment as well.
Question:
Wherever is written "Outfitter"...do they offer:
Lyophilized food
first aid like "real skin or second skin" for battered toes
athletes powders like gels,carbohydrates and whey protein

or should I pack from back home over there?

Thanks for the info

Sorry, I meant 2010 and not 2009

If you have specific brands, then you probably should mail-drop them.
Unsupported? Then mail drop.
Supported? Maybe your support team would have time to shop about. REI and Cabella's, Dicks are large "outfitters" that are chains and would carry close to the same brands from one store to the next. But there are independent outfitters that might or might not have what you want.
Hence you might want to mail drop.
Also, shop about online and see if you can find them here and save international shipping also.

if it's special for you mail drops would be the key sometimes the only thing you have for blister toes and such is good old duct tape
