[pct-l] Re: High Calorie Food

["Tom Reynolds" <Tom.Reynolds@ilan.com>]

I am suprised that no one is mentioning peanut butter or almond butter.
It's pretty trivial to find and even comes in plastic jars and is easily
"slammed" along the trail. I read somewhere that the "average" backpacker
consumes about 6000 calories a day. My guess is that a "thruhiker", walking
dawn to dusk, will exceed that.
