[pct-l] Extra oil that you carry

[Jim & Jane Moody]

AM, 
I would not recommend carrying extra oil at the beginning unless it is very cold. I sent myself several restaurant packets of olive oil in each resupply box. I did not take a stove in 2012 or 2012 (sections from Chester to MP) but if you're going to cook, you might need more oil, depending on what and how you're cooking. I added the olive oil to reconstituted bean mix, cous-cous, or mashed potatoes.

To PCT-L: 

If it's two people, how much oz (extra calories) of liquid oil should we carry per day/or per 7-day week? 

Yes, we are thru-hiking starting at Campo. So when should I add extra oil to our resupplies? Or should we just begin adding it when we buy (and ship forward) once we reach South Lake Tahoe? Do you think we need the extra calories beforehand if we are focusing on buying high-calorie dinner and snacks up to that point?
