Re: [pct-l] PCTResearch updates

Backpacking food suppliers sounds like a good idea, but who's going to 
volunteer to eat freeze dried food for 5 to 6 months? I wouldn't, even if it 
was provided for free. I know I'd be sick of the stuff in less than one PCT 
section. I ate only one freeze dried meal on the entire PCT and I'm sad to 
say, it sucked. I like lots of fat in my hiking diet. I even took to eating 
one pound packages of oreos for a mid morning snack in the Sierras. Maybe you 
could ask a potato chip company or some other junk food company. Imagine 
their delight at being able to claim someone hiked 2600 miles on nothing but 
twinkies, pop tarts and doritoes! (With a few vitamin pills thrown in, of 
course, to prevent scurvy).
