Food for Thought

The preparations for AK 11 continue.  Today I shipped up the stove fuel.  Last week I bought and shipped up the tent.  Tomorrow I better buy the Bear Fence eh?  I think we should take turns rolling ourselves up in the fence.. that ought to do the trick.  I purchased the rest of the food today, will ship it up soon.  We are going with the basics: Granola bars, Clif bars, Oatmeal, dried fruit, PB&J's, Jerky, Hot Cocoa, and freeze dried dinners.  Still have to buy some licorice, and oh, Snickers.  That's it boys. It took a lot of self control not to over-buy today, probably still did, but I think we're pretty scaled down.  I'm counting on Mikey to make us up some Gorp.  Here's the menu for 8 days.

BK- Oatmeal (with some dried fruit) and a Bagel/Cream Cheese
LN- PB&J, jerky, clif bars or granola
DN- Freeze Dried meal.

Snacks include; Gorp, licorice, snickers. That's it; probably a good weight loss program.
