Food for the Expedition

Doug:

Breakfast
Oatmeal, pecan and raisins and 3 slices bacon = 590 calories

Lunch

nuts dried fruit 5oz dehydrated Tuna, 3 granola bars, 1 candy bar or 6 cookies and 3 slices salami and 1 slice cheese= 1000 caloires

Dinner

Broccoli cheese or ckicken noodle soup and beef or chicken ramen, and dehydrated meal with 2 tablespoon olive oil = need to verify calories but about 1000 calories.

Misc

4 Lemon drops and 5 wintogreen candies.

This is almost final. Each days food is 1 lb 12 oz * 22days = 616 oz / 16 oz = 38.5 pounds.

Reynald:

Breakfast

Oatmeal, home-made dehydrated breakfasts with couscous, rice, brown sugar, cinnamon, strawberries or cherries, raisins, and walnuts. Also chocolate/cocoa for drinks.

Lunch/snacks

dehydrated tuna or salmon, dehydrated home-made dishes like chicken/rice or mashed potatoes with mixed vegetables and spices (add water the night before + olive oil before eating), trail mix, dehydrated fruit, energy bars, turkey or beef jerkey. Also bagles, cheese, salami for first week on the mountain.

Dinner

Freeze-dried dinners (chicken, turkey, beef stroganoff) with added carbohydrates (rice, couscous, mashed potatoes), ramen noodles, instant soup, dehydrated desserts - can be home-made too (cheesecake, apple & cinnamon tart, etc.), cider or tea for drinks.

Food weight is expected to be between 35 and 40 pounds for me (just under 2 lbs per day). I think it'll be difficult to be much under that.
