We just returned late last night from our trek. Yes there is lots more food
that in the past and yes Turkey Bags are still very useful, if you have
experience using them.
RECOMMENDATION!!!!!!!!!!! Think very carefully about how much buy juice you
will really use. Each time we provisioned for food, we extracted out the
drink mixes and estimated that for a crew of 8, the weight was about 10 to
15 lbs for that alone!.. We generally used less that a third of what was
provided. We finally figured it out by the third provision! Start smart!
