We've decided on one-pot meals for the trek. To that end, we cook a huge batch of food (enough to make 10 meals for two people), dehydrate it, then vacuum pack it. So far we have finished about half the dinners. We are on schedule as we still have, according to that hourglass gadget Whiptail added here, 51 more days. That's a good thing, because I can't decide what to make next. Some of the recipes in the books sound delicious, but are 'way too labor intensive at the campsite. Others seem simple, but unpalatable (does anyone really eat Spam?). So I may do a little experimentation...make a small version of a meal, then dehydrate and rehydrate it to see if it is tasty enough to make it into our packs.
Speaking of packs, we are really trying to keep the weight down. Mine is weighing in at about 15 lbs. before food and water, but I still have a few things to add. Guess it could be worse...
I've got to call about the permits now, so I'll sign off. Happy trails!
