  • Damn, hardcore. Looking good. What's the weight with all that food and water? Good luck and have fun!

  • All I can see is the huge wasted space inside the frames!

  • Also is that your tent on the back? That thing is huge!

  • 12 days of food

    Backpacking websites are good for planning lightweight meals. The longest unsupported/no resupply trip I've done was 10 days (on foot). Breakfast of porridge with powdered milk, butter & sugar and instant coffee. Lunch of trail mix and a flapjack or waffle. Dinner was a few blocks of instant noodles with butter, dehy vegetables and beef jerky, and chocolate for dessert.

    I had a dehydrator but it broke - since then I have just used the oven and it's fine. You can buy those little hotel-breakfast-sized packs of butter for extra calories; they don't seem to go off even in hot weather.

    What are you doing about water?

    I suppose I am teaching you to suck eggs here as you seem to have it sorted. Make sure to give us a proper trip report!
