    I hate to see this but if it is unsafe, I understand. In 2014 it was the perfect shelter at the perfect time when in pouring rain I was able to secure a spot and get warm, dry, and cook dinner.

    The short answer is you don't. You typically eat big meals on resupply or zero days but while on trail eat what you can. I only weighed 145 lbs at the start of my hike and lost 15 by the end.
