[pct-l] TORTILLAS!!!

[Diane at Santa Barbara Hikes dot com]

I was unable to eat tortillas on the trail. For some reason I had a  
really hard time swallowing them. Same for fig newtons. I eat these  
things all the time at home but could not swallow them on the trail.

Instead of tortillas I carried bread. It doesn't fit in a bear can,  
but I didn't carry it all the time. A loaf of bread carries very  
well. A friend of mine named HikeOn would crush the bread as flat as  
he could lengthwise so that the slices would be thin. He swore it  
would puff back up again. I just carried it as is and had no trouble.

Add a jar of peanut butter and some jelly (repackaged in a used  
peanut butter jar) and I had unlimited peanut butter and jelly  
sandwiches.
