There’s lots to do to get ready. I’m keeping busy packing, sorting and repacking along with practice hikes and other logistics.

The new thing this year is that I got a food dehydrator for Christmas.

When I first started as a LASHer, I quickly learned that I missed fresh fruits and vegetables the most. So I’ve been dehydrating spinach, tomato, apples, oranges and even mangoes. 🥭 In fact, mangoes with chili 🌶 powder are the bomb! 💣
