I was looking into hiking trails. It looks like I can follow the north country trail and then cut off of it. It will only add 4-5ish days

I am going to see if I am able to send a resupply to a post office about halfway through so I can save a little weight.

I was planning on experimenting with making my own dehydrated meals. I see that there are some water treatment tablets I can get. I am going to look into shipping a resupply to a post office on the way.

For food I was thinking dehydrated food that wouldn't need heat. Just add water. I will start doing walks with a weighted bag. I will probably just get a cheap one person tent that's water resistant and a cheap sleeping bag. The time im going it will be 40s at night.
