Hey guys,
So I am planning to do a thru-hike across New Zealand called the "Te Araroa Trail", however, I am giving it a minimum of 2 years to prep for it. I have never undertook a thru-hike before, and the longest hike I have done was a 67-kilometre Kepler Track, and lots of mountain-climbing (my favourite!! ^_^), but these only last 4-5 days at the most. I am a vegetarian (I eat dairy foods and eggs - cannot give up those, even though I tried). Have any of you guys done a thru-hike on a vegetarian diet? What did you take with you to eat?
Also, a question in general, how do I arrange to pick up food/shoes/clothes halfway through the hike? Do I have to ship it months prior and someone just holds on to them?
^_^ <3
