Goyslop. I’m not joking.
Every 3 to 5 days, these long distance trails pass near towns where hikers can resupply. They’ll stay in a hostel for a night, wash their hiking clothes, take care of hygiene, and restock on stove fuel and food. Some sections are better by using mail drops. You mail things to a post office somewhere along the trail, and they’ll hold it for 30 or 45 days. It really helps dial in food with things that might not be available in small enough quantities or not found in stores. You can also send clothing for when you reach colder temps.
The food is basically anything that’s 100 calories per ounce, as a basic guideline. And it’s usually 1.5 to 2 pounds of food per day. Food weight can add up quickly, especially if you start looking at canned stuff. Water can be found in the trail, so there’s no need to carry it in the form of food.
Snacks are easy; most junk food fits that. But meals are things you wouldn’t normally eat in your day to day life. It generally has very little water to reduce weight and bulk, and cooks quickly. It’s pretty much what a hobo would eat, minus canned things.
