I'll be doing my thru hike in 2014. Over the last couple of years I have been buying #10 cans of freezed dryed meat. I have 42lbs of meat so far. A mix of Hamburger, Sausage, and Chicken. On section hike I usualy use 1/4 lb per day. Is 1/4lb per day a good figuar to go with for a thru hike, or should I plan on more?
