7 Day Menu Plan - Solo Trip

LT is headed out on Sunday for his first solo foray into the park.  I wish I could join him, but I think he's looking forward to spending some time on his own. He'll be there for Canada Day.  Here's his planned route:

• Brent Access Point
• Cedar to Catfish - Sunday night camp at Catfish
• Catfish to Burntroot - Monday and Tuesday nights at Burnroot
• Burntroot to La Muir - Wednesday night at La Muir
• La Muir to Hogan's - Thursday night at Hogan's
• Hogan's to Catfish - Friday night at Catfish
• Catfish to Brent Access - Saturday night safe at home

He's had to rethink what he's bringing with him.  He has to add the pots/dishes, water filtration system, and dried food to his pack.  I've weighed the food bag and it is 8 pounds without the fresh food.

All meals below marked with an asterisk (*) are from my favourite backcountry cookbook by: Chef Glenn AKA as The Backpacking Chef (http://www.backpackingchef.com/)

Here's what I've packed for him to enjoy:
