[pct-l] Vegan Thru Hike?

[Pamela McCullough]

I agree.  I had been a vegetarian (and am again) for 20 odd years and I ate beef and turkey when I thru hiked the AT and I LOVED it.  I could not have done without it, we need too much protein.  Plus it is light weight, salty, lots of protein, and I could not believe I even thought it tasted delicious.  You can also put it in your water when you are boiling it before adding the main ingrediant.  Pamela aka LadyFish
