The more you eat a bar the more terrible it becomes.I think most people carry around 3500 calories a day once they have hiker hunger.Long distance hiking is very much disordered eating. Binge eating is a time honoured long distance hiking tradition.Your arm is supposed to be at a 90 degree angle while holding your trekking pole.Cause if you leave the handles on the ground creatures will totally chew them because they’re salty. You put your trekking poles against something with the handles up.I think long distance hiking, when you go out on a trail for five months and really lose yourself in it that way, you’re losing yourself in something that’s real but its also an illusion and at the end you have to leave it.So no matter how much research you do, you’re still going to have to learn so much on trail….
