Food Preparation

The food equation is one of the most time consuming. I am working with other walkers who are also planning on doing the track. They are walking as well but with a trailer of sorts (Check out a monowalker if curious) This comes with some advantages as they can carry much more therefore having a longer period before a resupply. Some of the disadvantages can be found when encountering locked gates and off track walking with obstacles like fallen trees .

The National trail is designed as a horse trail so most of it would be ok.
My plans always revolve around weight. About 5 days is around the average. Although it could be up to 9 days. The photo shows 5 days worth. This amount comes in around 4.5 kilograms.
Breakfast is cereal and milk. Lunch is the bread and peanut butter/vegemite or tuna. Dinner is based on lentils with either rice, mince or noodles. The flavour comes from either a curry powder or cup a soups. dehydrated vegetables can also be added. I have some chocolates for snacks. Tea and hot chocolate powder are for drinks.
