What did you pack on your CT thru-hike? I've never done a thru-hike, never more than 3 nights, so I'm not sure what you pack to eat. In my normal life, I don't eat carbs and over the past couple of days I've tried having cereal with milk and it makes me a little sick for a few hours afterword and "backed up" the next day. Next I'm going to try it without the milk to see if that's the problem? Fruit and veggies are heavy and go bad. Those prepackaged meals are gross and expensive. So do I just have to build up a tolerance for oatmeal? Your shopping list would be very appreciated.
