Hi gang,
I've got the same question. How much food should I plan to bring for my day hike on June 24, 2015?
My practice hikes here in the southern California hills have shown me I can tolerate snacking about 200cal every 3 miles. I am eating sweet rice rolls(Costco), freeze dried fruit, fruit and nut Cliff bars, and small packages of beef jerky. For my main meal on the trail I have been having a can of sardines in olive oil.
I currently have about 2300cals (7 packs of 2 snacks) of these snacks packed in my bag based on my pace of snacking every 3 miles.
So my question is is this insanely overthought out, a good plan, or do I need to adjust? Do not be gentle with me. I am a first time extreme hiker but I'm a big boy and I have my asbestos britches on for forum chat.
Mike
