[pct-l] Cramming a BV450 (500) / Canister 'required' areas

[Stephen]

Postey, maybe he did, and maybe he didn't, but based on the food supply 
stuff that Ken lists does pack pretty good.  But I look at it from my big 
energy level requirements, and the necessity of variety.  If it works for 
Ken then that's good for Ken.  I'd fall flat on my face for lack of energy, 
and would not be able to eat that stuff for the rest of the trip, probably 
have to bomb out to Bishop and get some Pizza, a Pepsi, and donuts.  I 
learned to hate those store bought energy bars long ago racing bicycles. 
Uck!  Met this guy once along the PCT down here near Mt Pacifico who was 
living on cold rice he soaked.  Super Yuck.  But it worked for him, and he 
was motoring.  I could not keep up with him.  How long that would work for 
him I have no idea.  So if Ken says he got X amount of food in his can I'll 
have to give him the advantage of the doubt.  How much energy was in the can 
was probably less than my normal 6-day food bag about the same size as a 
can, maybe slightly smaller.
