Old Gray Mare
TB Fanatic
Ok so the effluent hasn't hit the oscillating device quite yet. So grabbed the ol' BOB and nearly renched my arm. Must be something with that global warming affecting the gravity 'cause the bag's way heavier than I remember.
Food:
Hit Walmart, skipped the Mountain House and went for the convenience foods in a pouch. Picked up:
Powdered gravy mix (this stuff can almost make shredded cardboard taste good!)
Knorr side dishes
chicken (to add protein to the sides for a more complete meal)
Flavored mashed potatoes
Flavored Oatmeal in single serving pouches
Dried fruit
Also have a container of NIDO milk powder I intend to breakdown in to smaller servings. You don't want to deal with the mare before morning coffee.
Clothes:
I also took stock of the wardrobe. No hiking boots. Need to fix that ASAP. Socks? on the list. Hiking clothes for most likely scenario - also on list.
Drugs/scripts:
Bag's OTC and First aid kit needs work and updating as well.
Add three days worth of current scripts. Most recent glasses count as a script as well.
Multivitamins, supplements and probiotics fall into this category
Gear:
Sleeping bags can last almost forever. Forever has come.
Added a water filter
Goals:
Run taste test of new BOB foods
Get base weight of pack down to an acceptable amount.
Update foods, OTC drugs, First Aid kit, clothes and boots
Add scripts
Double check current gear
Make sure Bag contents can handle three days without or with minimal additional support
