Food Drop Bags

Hermie here,
Yukon is all about food at home but I am worry about the dogs out on the trail. The experts say that it takes between 10,000 and 12,000 calories for each sled dog, each day of the race, and the average team is going to be on the trail 10 to 14 days. So that is 10,000 times each dog (16) times number of days sooo...it's A LOT of food. (Maybe one of you could do the math and let me know.) 

So how does all that food and supplies to get to the teams on the trail? 
SPKennels preparing food.
Let's watch Ali Zirkle go over how to pack.




Wow! That is a big job.
