sounds like a support team- I'll give it a try. I have my frustrations like everyone else and am always interested in hearing about new ideas. We're thinking of hiking/camping out on the Israel National path (shviel ha-aretz). the biggest concern is what kind of food that I can carry with me that isn't heavy and is as close as possible to south beach diet. the best option is "mana hama" but those are all carbs. I need something that can be filling and heated up; like dried veggies or something. anyone have any ideas, let me know. meanwhile: Hag Sameach!!!
