After a little planning I worked out a menu for the trip that cost $48.60 – one third of the cost of a freeze dried menu and that only weighed 160 ounces or 12 pounds – including the bear canister. I ate 13 meals that averaged 2300 calories, 250g carbs, 100g fat, and 100g of protein per day! At the end of the trip I still had some food leftover – even after off-loading a bunch with a thru hiker and trading some for toilet paper with another group of hikers!
