Don't worry, Gene, my phone would be turned off and in the first aid kit for an emergency only. I won't be updating my Facebook status to "Dave Taylor has a cricket in his ear and is regretting this stupid idea" or anything like that.

I imagine it was things that would "travel well" - Fried chicken, boiled or baked potatoes, bread, etc. Good luck with this, Dave. The several days without a shower should be very uncomfortable, but I imagine it was the norm back then.

I probably won't stay true to scripture when it comes to what food I am brought in the pines. Unless we had an itemized list of the foods John Wilkes Booth and David Herold ate, I feel like it's okay if I just eat some modern food.

I do like the idea of hanging the food up somewhere. The first year my father and I ever went tent camping, we left the coolers out under the picnic table. The raccoons managed to open them up during the night and ran off with our lunch meat and cheese. From then on, the coolers, and all garbage went into the car during the night.
