[pct-l] Grid, Graph, Spreadsheet in Preparation and During Hike

[Bob Sartini]

Honey Buns ! honey buns have 600 calories and don't seem to weigh anything 
at all. After a week in your pack they scrunch down to the size of an oreo 
too.

I always love too see truckers grab 2 honey buns for 1200 calories with 
their midafternoon coffee. Ya gotta love America... and Americans. I do.

Maybe we should ship honey buns to poor areas of the world. They provide a 
lot of calories and I don't think they ever go bad. Wow, How many would fit 
in a cargo container?  Compressed  down it would be unlimited.

Then again, as far as nutrition goes I dunno. Normal people might care about 
nutrition but thruhikers....LOL
