When we started preparing for the trip, we split up the main organizational responsibilities. Among other things, I tackled gear and general planning, and Magge took food and first aid. Although you can resupply nearly completely from resources on or near the trail, that isn't Magge's style. Magge's style is to buy a food dehydrator, dry near 30 days worth of food, and plan mail drops to points along the trail. Perhaps after we get back, I'll get her to share a bit more, but for now, this is what the living room floor looks like:

| Dinner for two |
 |
| A day's worth of food for the two of us |

| Assembly line |
Martha Stewart would have a coronary, however, if she saw the living room floor or the kitchen counters during prep :0) I love you both dearly and she has done an incredible job
ReplyDeleteLeave it to Magge to up the ante by making sure various and diverse cuisine was going to be eaten even out in the wilderness using very primitive cooking tools.
ReplyDeleteI can imagine your home, Marcia, being in a state of temporary chaos but the end result is inspiring. I know they will eat well and will not worry about their daily dietary intake. :) What is not to like about dehydrated spaghetti sauce. After an arduous walk on that trail that meal will taste as good as eating it in the comfort of home.
