Thanks Wandering Daisy.

I'm looking to get a good detailed topical map of the trail. From what I'm told the trail is well marked so getting lost hopefully shouldn't be an issue. As many of you already know there are no resupply points so whatever I'm carrying has to be enough. As time gets closer I'll study the map and set destinations and mileage based on shelter locations, landmarks, streams etc.

Another few questions...

It is strongly advised that I at least bring 10 days of food. What kind of food should I bring?

Should I look for food that I don't have to cook so I can avoid the space and weight of packing a stove?

Are there foods that provide the right amount of nutrients that you don't need to cook?
