His 3 man team shopped for the food and weighed-
and packaged each meal in a zip-lock baggie.. they distributed
the food at the weigh-in to balence the pack/load ratio fairly.
If you divide Josh's 29# pack into his weight you get what? 23%??
some other's were "heavy" at 38% and the "team" spread the heavy
pack's out on a tarp to check for anvils or cast iron cookwear<G>
*All the "leader" did was run the calculator... and tell the boys the
percentage they were at.... He allowed the "boy-teams" to decide
what to distribute and how to do it fairly.
I did see several "MountianHouse" main course bags..
but didn't account for them... I saw a lot of instant oatmeal-
granola bars- instant rice- soup mix-drink mix...
*Amazeingly, I didn't see bags of M@M's or candy..
I didn't see walkmans or gameboys or anything electic beyond
mini-mag flashlights...
