breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner.. give me examples of all for a typical day. how much food to carry what foods to carry? i "downgraded" if you will for a super light stove, it burns less but its next to nothing in weight and still works great. the miniatomic 2 from minibull. i used to have an msr but i was cutting down on weight... thus far i have come to know oatmeal, ramen noodles, mac n cheese, powdered milk for oatmeal, and cheese... im planning for a thru hike next year and food is like the main worry i have.. because i get super hungry and have a fast matabolism. i also am not sure how much food to actually carry. I figure if i start 8 miles from Springer then hike to Neels gap to resupply ill have a better idea of how much food to carry.. there just isnt really any hiking around here where i can test out my food supplys for extended trips.
