[pct-l] Trail Nutrition

[kdpo at pacbell.net (Ken Powers)]

We know of several people who have started PCT thru hikes without a stove.
We know some picked up a stove later in their hike. We are not sure if the
others picked up stoves. You might start without a stove, then pick one up
if you don't like going without one.
