Brawny --

I'm not a thru-hiker, but found your menu intriguing. Using it, I could get
away for a 3- or 4-day trip on short notice and with very little
preparation. I could actually stop at the grocery on the way to the
trailhead.

But I'm not clear on how you prepare the Ramen noodles. Do you crumple a
bunch of those cheese-and-cracker or peanut-butter-and-cracker snacks in
with the Ramen and water? Do you leave out the Ramen spice packets?

Also, do you add powdered milk to the oatmeal, or does the instant oatmeal
already have the milk in it?
