Since Northern Yosemite is the largest roadless area in California, Oregon
and Washington along the trail, and it might take up to three days to hike
out of that area, I figured on three day's supply of pain killers (codeine
was the strongest pain killer available at the time that my doc would give me
and wasn't perishable) would do the trick. I think that I used only a
couple, fortunately not encountering any major injuries along the hike.
In this area I wouldn't skimp for the benefit of light weight. You might
just end up paying for it in pain.
