I have been observing for some time now on journals and forums that many hikers are going to stores of all sizes when in town. I would like to stay away from a diet of Ho-Ho's and Twinkies. I'm not sure I would like to purchase anything out of a supermarket either. Let's hypothetically say that I am allergic to everything but dehydrated foods from home. Better yet, I'm diabetic and have to have a specific diet geared towards that. You get the idea.
There is a secondary reason for this question and that is, budgeting. I would like to have a good 90% paid for, with a few meals out as a treat. But, I would like to know where I stand finacially and rest assured that it is feasible. In other words, I "could"order all my dehydrated food or prepare it and be done with it.
Now I have read some advice as to wether or not you would get tired of the same meal over and over. I fully understand that. I think it was Einstein who had seven sets of clothes so he didn't waste his thoughts on what to wear for the day. Well, whoever it was if I'm wrong lead me to think about it.
I have seen the resupply list (thank you-but I don't remember who posted it) and it is the best thing I have so far.
I will be attempting my thru next year in 2011 due to a physical setback.
