Food

When I started planning my menu and prepping food with Sarah she asked me ‘what do you like to eat?’ It didn’t occur to me that you should enjoy hiking food, rather it was something you ate to survive. Although I asume the answer to that question would not be dehydrated vegetables and minute rice, when planning food you should plan to enjoy eating it. I have not exactly followed this advice.
