[pct-l] olive oil

[Ken Powers]

We pour a "dollop" of olive oil into each dinner on the trail for added 
calories. We have been using 6 or 8 oz water bottles for carrying olive oil. 
Works like a charm. We pour the water from the bottles, lay the bottles out 
to dry completely, then pour olive oil into them at town stops. Olive oil 
can go into a bounce box, but we usually just buy more in town. We carry the 
bottle in a zip lock because we sometimes get a drip outside the bottle lip. 
The zip lock keeps everything else clean.

Subject: [pct-l] olive oil


I am hiking the PCT in 2008, and I have a different kind of question.  I
want to add olive oil to most of my dinners along the way.  Do I need to
carry a quantity of olive oil as I go?  Can I use a smaller container and
send a bigger one in the bounce box to refill the smaller one?  (I am hoping
to use only a few post offices along the way.)  Can I get smaller quantities
of olive oil along the way?  (I don't know if that is possible or not.)  For
long-distance hikers who have used olive oil as a staple, how did you make
that happen?

Thanks!

Lindy
