<< << By the time hot weather hits, most thru-hikers have huge appetites. If
you still have you stove, check out the pasta salad kits. Some of them pack
over 1,000 calories (it's all the mayo, which is a bit heavy, but...) And you
don't necessarily have to chill them. >>
 
 
Gotta be VERY careful about mayo in hot weather--food poisoning is a real
danger.  Can you substitute for the mayo?  Maybe oil on the pasta?  There are
lots of interesting flavors in oils these days and that should provide lotsa
calories.
