Track Towns and Supplies
- Did you have any issues finding food/supplies? Yes
- I sent food to food drops and mostly cooked my meals from scratch (just dehydrated some veggies). Added extra weight to my pack but it was worth it :)
Your Story or Advice for Others
General CommentsI had such a good time walking my end to end - loved every minute of it (even the hard bits!)
Your Best Equipment
My Big Agnes tent - nice to have my own space at the end of the day :)
Your Worst Equipment
Not really worst but I think I need to replace my small trangia for something smaller and lighter :)
Advice for Others
Go light - be ruthless and toss out anything you don't really need.
