[pct-l] Simplifying Meal Preparation

[Tortoise]

When I was just getting into backpacking in the early 1970's, I talked 
to another man who claimed he was a backpacker. His way of "packing" 
food for the trip was to gorge himself before the trip then live of his 
fat and fast on the trip. Was he for real??? This is not my way.  FWIW
