    RJ was wondering what I was talking about _ I dug it up...
    There was an Old Man with a owl,
    Who continued to bother and howl;
    He sat on a rail, And imbibed bitter ale,
    Which refreshed that Old Man and his owl.     . WOO <Audio

    WAY too heavy, too expensive, there are an infinite number of better options. You can get 3000 calories/day from 1.5 lbs of trail food per day at half the cost or less.
