COST OF FOOD
19 September 2016
Started purchasing food that will keep, may be a tad stale by the time i eat it lol
27 pounds of trail mix... about 400 servings... 4 servings per day, 100 days... $90.00... 4 servings is roughly 600 calories...
Maruchen soup.... Ramen Noodles...
1 pack is 2 servings, 380 calories. 2 packs per day 760 calories.... 400 packs
1 pound of peanut butter 14 servings 180 calories for 2 tbsp 24 jars 2 servings 360 calories
ritz crackers 5 crackers about 80 calories 20 servings per box, 2 servings per day or about 24 boxes.... 160 calories
1880 calories... breakfast to be determined...
the above is a baseline... for variety will substitute with a food of equal or greater calorie value...
drop boxes will be made up in December... will calculate for a 10 mile per day hike.... distance between points divided by 10 will give me the number of days needed per box.... at this time I have addresses for approximately 20 places that will hold boxes for me... most are 60-70 miles apart or roughly a week... will attempt to have a drop box no more than 10 days apart which will allow me to keep the weight of my food around 25 pounds... my gear, every effort is being made to bring it in under 20 pounds, this will be tough with a hopeful start date of 31 January 2017...
