[pct-l] Drop Box Wish List

[Edward Anderson]

Austin,
I recommend Mini Babybel cheeses. Available in three flavors. They weigh one 
ounce each and have 70 calories. They are encased in wax and over the wax are 
wrapped in plastic. Although the label says "keep refrigerated", I didn't: and 
never had any spoil except in cases when they got crushed. Then I would find a 
little mold along the cracks in the wax. I trimmed the mold off and ate them 
with no ill effects. I purchased them prior to my rides and they went months 
without refrigeration. Just be careful not to crush them. Check them out.
     As for beef jerky, at Costco you can buy a Pacific Gold brand package 
containing 12 individually packaged 1.25 ounce portions of beef jerky - each has 
90 calories.

Yeah, I like the sound of that... "Drop Box Angel".... could be something to
that.

Beef jerky.  Summer sausage.  A block of cheese (don't know if that would
stay good).
New socks.

Deet, bug netting....

hmmm..... I'm sure there's more.
