Maybe to Cuba, NM (see list above for details). I have it scheduled that I'll be buying 4 days of food there. I haven't had many Mountain House meals before, but I don't like spicy and most of my premade meals are rice based so maybe some pasta ones (and I don't cook breakfast so as good as their breakfasts are, they don't work well for me). For any other guidence for what to pick, we like gummy candies, salty snacks, and packaged meats (summer suasage, bacon bits).

It was a real treat to meet you both at Hart's Pass last season. Charles and I will be thinking of you both as you tackle this thru-hike. Did you find hot cocoa before you headed out? I seem to remember you liked the Nestlé cocoa assortment I had at Hart's Pass. And, can we send you some Mountain House dinners? Any flavors you don't like in the Mountain House meal line? Looking forward to your safe arrival at the starting point.

I would get about 10 minutes of charge time after having it on the back of my pack for the whole day.
