    Packing List : Food - What food/nutritional items are in your bag, when you leave home ?

    Good point. Thank you for sharing your insight. Peanut butter is very nutricious and jummy on bread. I can possibly buy the bigger jar and divide it into several zip lock baggies for the next few days for my own use. And share it with other pilgrims also and leave half a jar in the...

    Packing List : Food - What food/nutritional items are in your bag, when you leave home ?

    Very good point ! I have heard that adding something to your water on every 2nd bottle of water, during the day, while walking, helps a LOT to keep your energy and your general mood, up. I will look into possibly making my own DIY Electrolytes to add...
