[pct-l] Food Weight

[Tortoise]

If one is really so concerned about food weight, do it the ultra ultra 
light way -- gorge yourself in town then live off the accumulated fat on 
the trail. No cooking, no food to carry. No need for a bear can or cook 
set. What could be lighter? You will even get lighter as you hike! Who says 
you need to eat every day?

Me, I'll stick to a weightier approach -- carry stove, cook pot, and food. 
Even Starbuck's instant coffee which is not as good as fresh brewed but I 
can get by on the trail.
