Re: [at-l] extra food

     The lightest, rudest, most fundamental food that ended up in the 
     bottom of my pack was two meal's worth of instant rice with a couple 
     of bullion packs. I hit this "Eek!" bag about every 2-3 weeks when I 
     would look at my food, project miles and difficulty forward and say 
     "Eek!" It was just enough to get me through, but EXTREMELY light, so 
     it was never a burden to carry.
     Incidentally, I ate this CRAP the night I climbed down from Katahdin, 
     and the next MORNING (Boy, that was hard to swallow) before hitching 
     into Milly-knock-it. I was totally empty, otherwise.
     
     Skinny, underfed Sloetoe. Well, was then, anyway. Jeez, folks twenty 
     years! Even Earl was impressed: looked my up and down and said "Lot 
     tougher back then!" You'd know, Earl, you'd know!

Who carries emergency rations? If so, how much and what?
