Hm...Dried fruits, we have a small shop by our house called the "Farmers market" (Used to be a BP station actually), And their dried pineapple are DELICIOUS.
I like. American woman very strong and good with mule on long trip to gather mushrooms, yes? Please come to Kazakhstan to be my wife. You will have many of my children and live in bamboo cage in forest, yes?
To keep the large delicates from breaking I would use Tupperware or those hard Ziplock boxes. Thats nice cuz you have another storage container when you are done.
the boullion cubes if you take them out of the canister they come in will they get stale tasting? Or will the flavor be less? I hate carrying them around in the plastic container I have them in.
When on a weekend trip on the AT I always bring a big frozen porterhouse and some schrimp. At the end of a 15 mile hike, you should see how many friends you make when you share a few bites of your giant steak with your fellow hikers who would otherwise be eating ramen noodles. :) This of course only works for the 1st night of a trip, but it may make the rest of your trip more pleasant.
I really love transcribe audio, at 0:36 it says "allow iraq and then that if you have any jello deed retirees at that speed of the flavoring." this shit is hilarious!
I couldn't pay attention to the video because of your beautiful voice... Do you have a sister that is younger and interested in the same stuff as you? I have never seen a drop dead gorgous backpacker until 5 minutes ago, seriously!
actually spam was named when the makers were trying to come up with a name for their new product and they had a contest to see who could come up with the name. the winner worked at the plant and knew that the main ingredients was shoulder parts and ham and his entry was SPAM short for Shoulder Parts And haM. true!
In Norway, we just have a thing called Quick Lunch (Kwik Lunsj). High energy chocolate bar used by all Norwegians when out hiking, skiing, camping or fishing.
When you normally carry a heavy pack on hilly terain ,do you calculate the approximate calorie intake needed ? Or just play by ear ? I am 50 and in good health and condition , but when I hang with the younger hikers I am so worn out at the end of the first day that I often don't eat enough . Then I am starving the following morning. Should I shoot for 2500 cals ? Just wondering . I am old ,but can still keep up and pass up most youngsters . Thanks for sharing
Why pack bad instant coffee when you can bring a coffee you really like. Grind it super fine and stir it into a cup of boiling water, there maybe some grounds at the bottom, but hey it's camping! For those who don't care for coffee bring some tea bags along. It's good survival practice to boil your water so why not have something in it.
Wow I am very surprised to see dried seafood.... I always got nervous with that kind of thing, but I take it you can do it safely. Any recommendations on seafood dehydration?
Hey, thanks for mentioning the protein powder. Not, many people mention it. I use weight gainer in oatmeal. That way I don't lose too much weight, 5' 10" 155 can't afford to go hungry. Also, snickers, snickers and snickers. You're burning the cals why not go overboard.
Hey guys,Your life depends on a few things. Water, shelter, and, FOOD. .. Get FREE food.. Go to ( aplus.mysundanceglobal com ), Watch the video and sign up. This food has a 15 yr. shelf life. None GM. The food is great too.
Here's my backpacking food list (all in ziploc baggies) -original powdered coffeemate (doubles use coffee and makes museli creamy) -coffee -couscous -chinese noodles -freeze dried veggies and beans -Beef Jerkey -Bouillon cubes -spices For dessert, a brownie, 1 tsp of coffeemate & enough hot water to make a bread pudding consistency. This makes an ultra indulgent dessert that is most satisfying after a long days hike. The same titanium pot is used for cooking, coffee, as a bowl, and a mug.

This makes an ultra indulgent dessert that is most satisfying after a long days hike. The same titanium pot is used for cooking, coffee, as a bowl, and a mug.
Tobasco!Favorite alcohol stove meal is Ramen with a slice of cheese and 2 tsp of real bacon.
For coffee any instant will do if it is hot in the am you will drink it.
I like grits they come instant and you can add cheese bacon bits even a cooked egg and you have a great breakfast.
I have been told eggs will stay without refrigeration for a week or so I personally don't take eggs with me since I just cook a lunch when I am on a field trip I don't hilke.
I usually do not crave sweets while hiking, after a week or two, I really miss meat, so you can get some beef jerky / slim jims even those sealed sausages. another must in the food bag, is Anti Acid, nothing worse than having serious heartburn while hiking. dried fruit is pretty good , you can have them separate or mixed in with your gorp. I have not carried myself, but have seen others that make corn bread, / pancakes, which is oh sooo good on a cold night in a tent.
When I would go backpacking the night before leaving I would crack some eggs (beats powdered eggs) into a ziploc bag and put them in the freezer. they were my first breakfast item that would get used. fry up some beef summer sausage first add the eggs... i can still smell it to this day!
So much more economical shopping at the grocery store vs. the mre's! Just have to get a little creative. I always love the backpacking food tip videos.
I never considered protein powder for any reason. But I suppose it does make sence for hiking ventures and I understand it comes in many flavores. I've been making for years many of my own dehydrated foods vegis and such. Just learned how to do meats though so next summer should taste great.
if you are really a trailhead foodie, consider getting your own dehydrator....there isn't any meal that you make at home that can't be dehydrated then reconstituted in the field....and as an added benefit you get to control the salts, sugars and other preservatives that go into your food.
my 2 cents - consider cous cous. Just add the correct amount of boiling water to couscous (I think its almost 2 to 1) and cover with a lid for about 5 minutes. No prep, no fancy equipment. A very hardy carbohydrate food that can be flavoured with dried veg, or just a bit of butter. Not too pricey either!
Awesome Foods, I always carry some Poptarts, oatmeal, and my homemade jerky and granola. I never thought about the tortillas with peanutbutter, i will have to give that a try.
great job Selica, you must b a veggie terryian ;) what about MEAT ? i use jerky or summer sausage or spam and tuna even comes in those foil packs now.
My Dad always had smoked spam in the mourning. Thinly sliced and fried with eggs. Had that in a lot of fabulous camp grounds out here in Ca. I know spam has got a bad rap but it made us happy campers.
Now they have little signal sliced packets. The smoked spam is the best. :)
@PeakSurvival Spam is OK, but I don't like the packaging. Too much canned waste to pack out. My wife makes a version of biltong (South African beef Jerky but with corriander) that is healthier (no nitrates) and tastier.My favourite camp meat.
Thank you Selica!!!! This was a great video and I will definitely keep all of these ideas for my next trip! I really liked your suggestion for varying oatmeal, because I do love oatmeal and eat it a lot, but it can get really tiring. Thanks again!!
