Hi gang. I've got my daily progress for my hike planned out along with all my anticipated maildrops. Now, i'm actually beginning to prepare the contents of each maildrop. So, a question for you grizzled thru-hikers:
How much GORP, dried fruits, beef jerky, etc. did you routinely eat per day?
I plan to cook a hot breakfast and dinner each day but my plan is to only eat lunches that require no preparation. Things like GORP, dried fruits and veggies, dried whole soybeans, sunflower seeds, beef jerky, etc.
For those who employed a similiar strategy for lunch, how much of each of these items did you require each day to satiate your lunchtime and general "during hiking time" hunger? Specifics like "1/4 lb. of jerky + 1/4 lb. of sunflower seeds would tide me over in the span from breakfast to dinner".
Thanks for your input gang.
