Trail food, getting ready!

I sure am glad that I did my homework and at least have an idea of what needs to happen if I want to live on the trial. I have been planning this trip for months but am especially focused on food right now. I need everything ready to place in my shipping boxes for re-ups along the way in the next week (I might get lucky and have a few days of work before hitting the first leg in PA).  I have been dehydrating fruit, veggies, beans, tomato sauces, salsa, and prepared dinners like coconut curry rice with mangos and pineapple, yum! My machine has basically been running for days now. I have organized, mixed, and bagged up quite a few breakfast dishes, lunches, and snacks. I have planned a total of 75 individual breakfast's, lunches, and dinner's. This doesn't include my snacks. The plan is to fit 7 maybe 8 days of food in my bear canister, that way my re-up boxes can be scattered a little further apart and I can utilize stores or pizza shops along the way if I find myself in need. Not to mention having a lighter pack longer...food will definitely be where the weight is! It's kinda crazy how much you need to eat to be out there walking with 50lbs or so on your back. I guess it's something I will get used to and see for myself once I'm out there. Hard to imagine eating as much as is suggested, but I am also aware of what hard work backpacking is...especially in the mountains! Excited to be challenged!!
