Gröna Bandet - Snacks
During our stay here in USA we went shopping for snacks. The prices is much lower on this kind of things here than in Sweden, and the fact that you're able to buy a lot of stuff in bulk is perfect for us.
We went to a store called BJs the other day to buy all of our snacks. BJs is a wholesale store were you buy everything in, yes, Bulk!
Before we went to the store we sat down and calculated on how much we acctually need for our hike. We decided that we wanted two snacks per day.
So for two months worth of snacks for both of us we landed on almost 300 snackbars! Sound crazy? It feels crazy and weird to see all the bars at one place at the same time, but they will be well needed and a perfect addition to our energy intake.
Clifbars, Nature Valley bars and Snickers.
Yeah, a bunch of snacks.
As said, we'll have two snacks per day so we have to calculate on how much we need to bring with us from start and the rest we will pack down in to the boxes that we'll send out to locations that we will pass during our hike.
We also bought Gatorade powder which is filled with dextrose and salt. Perfect for those long and sweaty days. And of course som classical Trail Mix. We only bought one bag that we'll divide up and send out a long the way as an extra treat.

Happy hikers with a crazy amount of snacks
