9 Day/8 Night UL Food for 2

Welp, did I mention that besides carrying all our backpacking gear and paddling gear annndddd fishing gear, we are carrying 9 days of food? More importantly, did I tell Andy? Yes, and somehow he still agreed to come! My longest food carry to date was recently on the CDT thru the Gila Section with 8.5 days worth of food. I did better than I thought and as long as we don’t push too many miles each day, we will be fine. I really enjoy making my own meals, so unless it’s linked, its a homemade recipe!
