Track Towns and Supplies
- Did you have any issues finding food/supplies? Yes
- I dehydrated & portioned all my own meals and posted them out to the various YHA or Visitor Centres. A lot of work but well worth it if you have the time! Supplemented food in track towns with protein/energy bars or extra Back Country meals (could soon easily devour a 2-person packet!)when needed once the hiking hunger set in about the 4 week mark! Highlights were my dehydrated hummus and spicy kangaroo biltong.

Your Best Equipment
My Scarpa hiking boots! (also tried a Sea2Summit blow up micro pillow for the first time and it definitely endeared itself to me!)
