[pct-l] Is this to much?

[Scott Williams]

Eat!  Eat! and Eat some more!  It is a lot, and bulky.  After the first few
weeks you may need more.  But, in most cases you will have packed too much.
 As your speed increases, the number of days between resupply really drops.
 You'll need a lot in the Sierra because of the exertion, but even there
the hiker boxes begin to get full of the over packing we all do before we
realize how fast we're gonna become.

Pack away!  It is a big pile of eats!
