I'll either figure it out tonight as I pack my pack (and weigh it), or last minute - before I hit the trail Sunday morning.
I'm usually more thorough with logistics, but since I started trying to get the full "hiker" experience, ie staying at hostels, I'm considering throwing logistics to the wind and winging it... I'll let y'all know which wins out when I get back (or if I have signal, I may update on the trail).

On further thought, I bought an EE quilt and a ULA pack to save a few pounds, to get under 25 fully loaded; it'd be a shame to carry a full week's food putting me back over the weight I've been trying to get under...
...Over 30 lbs, or tackle the fear of the unknown...
