[pct-l] Food in the Sierras

[patti kulesz]

If u need lots of calories anywhere it's here! What were u thinking packing LOW 
calorie foods? Break out the Big Texas pastries at 550 calories per  package! 
Dehydrate some corned beef hash at 770 calories per can! Ur gonna need twice as 
much here...trust me ESPECIALLY in that crazy snow ur gonna hit!

Hi All,

I am trying to plan out the food i am taking into the sierras from Kennedy
Meadows to VVR.

I have the bearvault bv 500 bear canister, filled it with as much light
weight low calorie food as I can. When I add it all up this results in a
measly 12612 calories. If I hike this section in ten days, thats only 1200
calories a day!

What kinds of foods/strategies do you guys use through this section??

thanks all

Tony

p.s.i had just asked this list about fishing, which I hear is awesome in
this section, but i wouldnt want to rely on fish for food...
