[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2124100, member: 116181"] This is going a bit off topic, but OP hasn't been back in awhile so.... to spice up the discussion. I enjoy crazy things, and have been on several ultralight boards over the last few years. One thing that has always stuck in my mind is there was a med student who tried to thru-[I]run[/I] the AT. Made it 720 miles before he had an injury. He had a unique take on No-Cook and junk food from an endurance athlete perspective, and his food plan actually is light and cheap. But it requires several things, specifically being able to access regular food along the way, and the hiker making the energy output to actually need the cheap calories he's carrying - so it has limited usefulness for middle aged rubes like me who plod along. His ultralight methods are sound; you can disagree with his food side of the ledger, but his equipment use is excellent.
