Howdy! Figured I would just put this here quick to start contributing. I’m hoping this place can get as popping as r/ultralight.

Anywho, I have the vast majority of my menu planned out but have a couple of holes to fill in. My partner and I are planning to do it in 8 days but will see if we can actually get it done in 7 (or take a day for just lounging in the middle of nowhere and use the full 8 days). It’s going to be a bit of food to carry but I’m trying to focus on keeping calories per ounce above 130 averaged over the day. I used to through in a complete cookie, but stopped because of how much gas they gave me. It was actually pretty uncomfortable.

I am wondering if anyone here has tried the green belly meals-2-go and if so how are they? Or if taking an extra Snickers bar and calling it good would make more sense. Thanks in advance!

    Pretty similar to what I was thinking.

    -For worn, Walmart shorts + Columbia Silver Ridge

    -For carried, Dancepants + KUIU Peloton 97 + Montbell Superior Puffy + Versalite

    The fleece is also new to me this season, though I’ve used it around 7 nights so far. I still prefer a windjacket, but I haven’t really been in conditions cold enough to necessitate hiking in the KUIU.

    I splurged and got a bunch of PackIt Gourmet meals - my favorite. Just have to test other foods (bars, snacks). I’m allergic to nuts, so that eliminates the majority of 130+ calorie/ounce options.
