Ben says the hardest thing so far is getting enough food to eat. He just can't carry enough food between stops to last him between stops. First of all his cooking supplies are limited to a couple of VERY small pots on a small backpacker's stove. Plus he obviously has no refrigeration, and he can't eat anything with wheat.
He was telling me what he was eating, and I realized he wasn't getting enough fat. So I am thinking he needs to buy tuna in oil, sardines, eggs (but how to cook them in his tiny pots?) guacamole in a sealed package to eat at the next stop. . . And what else? Of course, part of the problem so far has been access to real grocery stores. Many of his purchases have been at gas station mini marts. Hmmm. . . talk about healthy eating. . .not.
What suggestions do you guys have for food he can eat on the road?
If he can find Bobo Bars they're dense, oaty snack bars that pack light and fill you up. They're vegan, and some of the flavors are gluten free.
