Let the packing begin!!! I head out on Wednesday for 55-60 miles of the Wonderland Trail around Mt. Rainier/Tahoma. I’m not quite sure where I’ll be exiting yet, depending on if I can add one last night when I go to pick up my permit on Tuesday morning.
This is what 9 days of backpacking food looks like for me (7 or 8 days on the trail, plus an extra day’s worth just in case). I really REALLY struggle to eat out on the trail. My stomach just says “NO.”
So I’m changing it up a bit this time, only plan on heating water once a day to make a dehydrated dinner each night at camp. The rest of the day ~~ breakfast, lunch, and snacks along the way ~~ will be easy-to-eat bars, nuts, and dried fruits so that I can basically nibble a bit at a time throughout the day instead of trying to force myself to eat breakfast and lunch. Hopefully that will help with keeping my energy up.
