I was down maybe 10 pounds at the end of each. It is really hard to eat enough food when the calories are being burned so fast. On both trips I had more food available on the river part of the journey which made a big difference. Plus even the fish and berries, and on the first trip wild game, added significantly to my calorie intake.<BR/><BR/>For an idea of the foods I ate, I'm going to just cut and paste from my preparation list. This won't give you an idea of the proportion, but will give you an idea of the variety:<BR/><BR/>10 Grain Cereal<BR/>8-Grain Cereal<BR/>Beans, Dehydrated<BR/>Big Chocolate. Bars<BR/>Bisquick<BR/>Breakfast Bars<BR/>Carnation Instant Breakfast<BR/>Cashews<BR/>Cheese, Gouda<BR/>Chicken Helper<BR/>Chicken, Canned<BR/>Chocolate, Bite-Size<BR/>Chow Mein Noodles<BR/>Chowder<BR/>Cider<BR/>Coconut<BR/>Coconut Powder<BR/>Cous Cous<BR/>Cracker/Cheese Snacks<BR/>Cranberries, Dried<BR/>Dried Cherries<BR/>Dried Pork<BR/>Dried Shrimp<BR/>Dried Veggies<BR/>Dry Fish<BR/>Dry Milk<BR/>Farina<BR/>Fruitflavor Drink<BR/>Garlic, Fried<BR/>Ghee<BR/>Granola<BR/>Handi-Snacks<BR/>Instant Potato Pouches<BR/>Jerky<BR/>Just Veggies<BR/>Liptons: +- 5 oz. pouches of rice/pasta<BR/>Mac and Cheese<BR/>Mango, Dried<BR/>Marathon Bars<BR/>Margarine<BR/>Nature Valley Bars<BR/>Nutri-Grain Bars<BR/>Nutter Butters<BR/>Olive Oil<BR/>Oreos<BR/>Papaya, Dried<BR/>Pasta, Wheat<BR/>Peanut Butter<BR/>Pineapple, Dried<BR/>Polenta<BR/>Pop-Tarts<BR/>Potato Chips<BR/>Potatoes, Instant<BR/>Power Bars<BR/>Prunes<BR/>Pudding<BR/>Pudding, Sugar Free<BR/>Ramen<BR/>Reese's Pieces<BR/>Rice, Brown, Instant<BR/>Ritz Crackers<BR/>Roasted Nuts<BR/>Salame, Dry<BR/>Salmon Pouch<BR/>Seafood Pouchs<BR/>Soup Pouches<BR/>Specialty Cheese<BR/>Tinned Meats<BR/>Tomatoes, Sun Dried<BR/>Triscuits<BR/>Turkey Jerky<BR/>Wheat Thins<BR/><BR/>BuckBuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15968411775993981986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15465453.post-80513344880099761752008-02-20T04:42:00.000-09:002008-02-20T04:42:00.000-09:00This comment has been removed by the author.Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15968411775993981986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15465453.post-42820955242033701892008-02-18T13:01:00.000-09:002008-02-18T13:01:00.000-09:00Feb 2008Buck, I truly enjoyed your videos.I would ...Feb 2008<BR/><BR/>Buck, <BR/><BR/>I truly enjoyed your videos.<BR/><BR/>I would like to know if we can get a list of the food that you ate during your two alaska journeys.<BR/>You mentioned that you consumed about two pounds per day.

Making a long trek in Alaska is a dream for many of us and I feel very lucky to have had an opportunity like that.<BR/><BR/>It's hard to say what it was like in a few words. It was midnight sun, cold rivers, grizzlies, nameless mountains, rain, wolves, and wildflowers. But mostly it was wilderness, and that's probably the most distinct feeling it gave me.<BR/><BR/>Some of the most memorable moments for me were:<BR/><BR/>The tan wolf trotting down the gravel bar towards me,<BR/><BR/>Yelling at the big grizzly as he kept on coming,<BR/><BR/>The sleeping white wolf in the late evening sun,<BR/><BR/>Topping what was for me the most dramatic, dangerous, mountain pass in the western Brooks,<BR/><BR/>The howling wolf packs,<BR/><BR/>Building the raft and crossing the Alatna river with it,<BR/><BR/>The caribou plunging into the river and swimming past me as the black wolves chased it.<BR/><BR/>I'll never forget that summer, and for me there is no place on earth quite like the Brooks Range of Alaska.Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15968411775993981986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15465453.post-73614700137762526932007-11-26T17:36:00.000-09:002007-11-26T17:36:00.000-09:00I can´t believe you actually did that.
