Rob Ripley - Packing for the Atacama Crossing (Chile)
Meet Dr. Rob Ripley.
"It all starts with the mandatory equipment list! I’ve checked it twice! And checked off each item as it gets packed. There are still a few things missing. But, hopefully, I have a handle on these."
"I will be bringing Expedition Foods freeze-dried meals. Mostly because they come in convenient 1000 calorie bags that weigh about 200 grams apiece. Which makes it easy to count calories and to calculate food density (at 5 calories per gram, Expedition Foods has a better energy to weight ratio than most freeze-dried foods). And, in my opinion, they taste as good as freeze-dried food gets."
