Support me!

Food is a big issue on trail. Food = Calories = Energy = very muuuuch needed. Everyday your body needs about 4'000 calories to keep up with the daily challenges of hiking. But food means also extra weight. Food can be purchased around every 5 to 7 days in small towns or petrol shops. Yes you got it, this is not a gourmet hike (sadly!). 

I have already been asked several times if it is possible to send me a food box on trail. Yes, it is! Below you can find addresses where food boxes can be send to. However, if you wish to send me a food box, please contact me in advance so we can agree on the best location.

Now, how can I do it?

Go and see Triple Crown Outfitters.  On Triple Crown Outfitters you can purchase thru-hiker specific items and food online and pay via credit card. They will send  the parcel directly to the trail designated location.

Next to the Triple Crown Outfitters, also REI (the american version of our Transa), sells food and much more online. REI stands for an expentional shipping and customer service and most hikers are very thankful for REI and their services while being on Trail!

Note: ETA stands for "Estimated Time of Arrival".
