RE: Summer Backpacking Checklist
looks like you are all set to go. How much food are you allowing per day? And water?

Varies. Most water ever carried was 3 gal. for a 12 mile dry stretch. Usually carry 2 litres or so. Food, the equivalent of about 10 snickers bars a day. Add olive oil to everything.
That's all you eat with all this walking? I am surprised.
I like your idea of packing watercolor pencils, you must love art and the quiet moments in creating your masterpiece.
Yeah I should eat more. When we finally got to town, I ate about 40 oz. of steak! The art stuff is nice for downtime, yes. I recently switched out the pencils for a portable pallete, haven't tried it yet though.
WOW, that American life, 40 oz! You can't find it here in Asia, very difficult.
BTW, about watercolor pallette, I try using a water brush with it, great for outdoor, don't need to carry a water bottle. Are you familiar with it? It is popular in Asia. Try this utube intro:
Will do thanks so much! :)
