2019 Hume and Hovell Track
Food preparation
Close up of food
Over the past week we have been progressively putting together food for our upcoming Hume and Hovell Track trip. Bit by bit over the past week the pile of meals and snacks has grown bigger across the lounge room floor and after finishing work yesterday, we spent a fair chunk of the evening finalising our food packs. And when I say we, it was mainly Gill! The fun continued this morning as we double checked and took some items out and backed everything up ready to go. As part of the process we weighed our food and ended up averaging 659grams of food/per/day. This amount worked out pretty well as based on my Bibbulmun Track hike last year I ended up eating 659calories/day.
Now we have packed everything into day-by-day allotments, all that remains is to purchase a container for caching our food; but that’s tomorrow’s job.
