[pct-l] Resupply Box Checklist

[ROYROBIN@aol.com (ROYROBIN@aol.com)]

For those who may be busy packing boxes about now for the long walk, here is 
a sample checklist.  Food is, of course, the main ingredient.  Other critical 
items are listed so I won't forget to include them.  

Brian's caloric intake is about 6000 per day because he is doing 30 or more 
miles per day in good conditions.  There's a little more variety than it 
appears on this list because substitutions are made, but there are three 
dinners as shown.  All can be prepared in minutes using a good alcohol stove, 
and they taste good.  Substitute corn pasta at your own risk!

Here's the checklist:
