===Aaron: Manistee River / NCT Loop (2015/7/10) === Since there's a bunch of my kit I'm still waiting on, this was mostly a dry run in terms of food & mileage. Walked ~24 miles in 2 days with a pack that was probably about the right weight (maybe 3-5lbs heavy once I reduce shelter/sleep gear?). * Couscous! Use spice packs for variety. Use coconut oil for stable/tasty fat. * Spice pack ideas (measure more carefully and de-bug at home): ** Oregano, thyme, garlic powder, cayenne, salt, pepper, sundried tomato. ** Paprika, turmeric, garlic powder, salt, pepper, sundried tomato. ** Ichimi pepper, miso (dried??), bonito, kombu, ginger, sugar, garlic powder, pepper. ** ??? (aim for seven of these). * I need to calculate better food quantities. I tend to carry 2x food I need... * ~4oz MSR fuel canisters were good for boiling water ~6-7 times. * Whole Foods sundried tomatoes were *awesome* chopped and steamed w couscous or pasta. * Instant coffee (even the little starbucks sleeves) just isn't worth it. I'm going off it on the trail. * Chia pudding (w/ or w/out oats) should be a great breakfast that prepares overnight in a jar. Check out mason "freezer jars" (they're lightweight and plastic w screw tops) that can also double as secondary food prep/eating vessels. Season w powdered dairy, sugar, dried fruit. * Sawyer mini is slow, but fine. Might go w just aquamira and sometimes unfiltered water for JMT.
