I will have to find something other then chicken and the Nildo. Still working on that.

All that comes to about 1600 cal a day. They say when you are hiking long distances you need 3 -4,000 calories a day. I am looking into what I can supplement with. Maybe some protein powder.

I will change the menu to my taste. Each day will be different but I have thought of seeing what I could eat for 30 days at at time.

It is very hard for me on the trail to stay a Vegan. Still trying.

When a long distance hiker gets to town its normal for them to eat and eat and eat.
My grocery shopping is not the same anymore. I am always looking for food for the Trail.

Right now as I write this I have a pot of bean soup cooking and  will go into the dehydrator.
My trip.
My trip ha. Next 6 months on the Appalachian Trail is more then a Trip. Its a TRIP.
Wait till read about that.
