<So what if I up it to double the rations I mentioned? I can't really have
anything specially prepared, because I'm in Canada and this trip is in the
US, so I'm not allowed to bring food into the country. I'm having a friend
in the US shop for me and ship it to the hotel we're starting from. Easier
if stuff is off the shelf. What about salmon oil capsules for fat?

I really appreciate the advice. Not trying to be difficult, just trying not
to need a whole sherpa team to carry my provisions>



Just be sure you take enough, look at what you eat in a day and plan on more
because if the effort.
If you can go 8+ days with less than a 50lb pack you are doing better than
me. Not to say there is
anything wrong with that,  I recall looking at my pack trying to figure out
why it weighed so much!!!

If you don't take enough I fear one night you will be sitting at the fire
sharpening a stick and looking for
something or someone to throw it at!!!

Take care and enjoy!
