[pct-l] gluten free hike

[Tom Holz (Bigfoot)]

Abi,

Don't forget corn or potato chips, like Doritos and Pringles.  Many 
varieties are gluten free, and they have good fat calories.  I bet 
they'll go with peanut butter or warm melted chocolate..

I've also just gone gluten free, too, but it's not a medical necessity, 
so I still plan to resupply I go and do the best I can, eating a lot of 
corn-based chip products.  And chocolate :)
