Rob Bedichek's Resupply List

Here is an interesting web page which has influenced me to have fewer resupply parcels. In particular, I plan to buy only about two months worth of food in advance. I'll buy some food along with way. And after about a month I'll order more food by phone to be delivered to Annie. She'll include that new food in the parcels for the last three months of the trip.

  • 1 16" length of floss per day
  • 3 multivitamin tablet's per day
