TOP POST WARNING chuckle

Tom,
Unless you're on a diet, take more food! Have you had Mountain House meals
before? The 2 person meals will leave you hungry after finishing, and
licking the inside of the bag. I would recommend eating one, 2 person
meal, for each meal, and have a snack/desert along with it. You're going
to be burning a lot of calories. Packing an extra bag(or two)of food isn't
gonna weigh much, and it'll keep you out of your buddies food container at
12:00 AM. :-)

You certainly have a ultralight setup there. I would never suggest you're
too minimalist....but where's the whiskey? ;-)

If you don't mind me asking, where are you going?

Have a great trip!

Thanks, I'll be heading up to the Eastern Sierra's CA, lots of good fishing
up there.
I'm also a die-hard cyclist with a body fat of 7% so I trained myself to go
on just a minimum of food and water. 3-days out in the wilderness won't kill
you. I've actually been lost before, well I'll say disoriented because I had
a map and compass and taught myself good orienteering skills.
Yes, Mountain House is the only freeze dried food I'll eat, and my buddies
know I never failed to meet them back at the car, but there's always the
first and last time.
