I've thought a lot about this and I've come to a conclusion.

Unless you're actually hiking somewhere that you CAN'T resupply, it's a STUPID idea.

Quick easy plan to take all enjoyment out of hiking:
- start with an excruciatingly heavy pack
- hike beyond your limits every day
- eat the least amount of food possible
