That 4:25 transition from losing your balance to pretending you were always just trying to sit down is epic. Getting huge "cats falls off something" vibes
Some sad news about Santa Fe beans- it's been hard to find them recently and I sent an email to check when they might be available again, and I learned of the passing of the owner, Grant Bassett. By all accounts he was a great guy and pillar of his community and it's a terrible loss for his family. His wife, Mary Ann, explained that they are planning on ramping back up, but have no eta on online availability. If you're like me and have been missing santa Fe beans a lot over the year or two, I urge that you're patient and support the company when they do get back on their feet!
" to top things off...I add some olive oil" (tilts picture of olive oil and dumps some on the rice and refried beans) .... hehe. That was awesome. Lol. Jupiter you're a gangster bro ❤
I added the locations I'm sending my boxes to in the video description, as well as some other info. Check that out if you're interested and thank you for watching! PCT coming up as soon as soon can be
You like the bars from Bob's Red Mill? The actual Bob and his Red Mill are about 45 minutes drive off the PCT near Portland, Oregon, in the small suburb of Milwaukee, a few minutes drive from a local REI at Clackamas Town Center. If you are taking a day off, I'm sure Bob would appreciate saying hi.
Stoked to try the beans and rice..you could always throw in some tortillas and make a burrito I suppose. Great to see you heading out..this will be an awesome hike!
This is great! I don't eat very much in the backcountry simply because I don't want to cook, wait, or deal with the stove. The pre-packaged meals take up a lot of space also. Thanks for sharing! 🤙
Youdont have to eat raw rice ! Just cook it and then dehydrate it ! It will be the same size ! You can soak it when meal time come ! That was how we reserved rice back home , in VNam during the war
This looks 100% vegan and almost what I would pack. My only concern is your lack of micronutrients, I suggest tossing in some nutritional yeast into your rice packets (flavor, B12, iron, etc) and iodized salt (or occasionally eat some dry seaweed snacks). Sure you could take a multi-vitamin but that tangy yeasty flavor works so well with rice dishes. I was thinking of doing cajun rice packets like jambalaya and I'm probably going to use your idea of refried beans as a test run. Thanks and good luck on the trail!
You got this, Jupiter! May good fortune come your way. ... Hey I'm curious how you carry your olive oil? I use what is essentially a miniature platypus bottle that I found in the travel section of the local megamart. K, thanks again for sharing your stuff!
I buy olive oil in bulk, and then buy a 6 pack of tiny (I think 8oz) apple juice bottles for kids. Drink the juice, clean the bottles, and then repackage the olive oil in those bottles. They have never leaked on me which is nice, and they're small enough where I don't feel like I'm carrying too much for any given stretch of trail.
@@JupiterHikes oh yeah, leakage would definitely not be good. 🤔 I'll have to keep an eye on that! Thanks for the reply! I love that you take the time to answer people's questions. Oh, and I got some of the beans to try out!
Hey Jupiter, thanks for all your videos and sharing your experiences with us. I was hoping you could do a video on cold soaking. My interest is in figuring out what you take, how do you make sure it makes nutritional sense and meets caloric density needs, how you minimize packaging waste, how long it takes to soak, and any other insights you could offer. Thank you.
The food looks good! Are you driving your van or flying? The logistics of driving, storing the vehicle then flying back to get it seem difficult. That would make a useful video.
I love the video and really appreciate you taking the time to break down your meals. I had the idea to just crush up dried lentils and try that in place of the refried but I'm finding conflicting info. I don't believe it is safe to eat cold soaked raw dried beans. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong. thanks
I will be flying into the US and buy this kind of hiking food in a physical store. Any recommendation of stores that will sell this? (I will be in San Francisco and then Ashland - I can only hike OR/WA this year). Really appreciate any suggestions
In san Francisco I'm sure you could find a 'whole foods' and then ashland has a great grocery store that I forget the name of, but it's healthier options and they have a huge bulk section!
I'm going to see what I can do while out there, but after the trip I'll be doing more documentary style videos (as I can edit on my laptop and have more time to think about how the videos can play out)
Curious. - If SOMEONE sends boxes ahead, food or particularly clothing/shoes, and SOMEONE has to get off trail foe some reason and end their hike, how do you retrieve those boxes? Wish you luck on your hike!
And there lies one of the biggest risks of sending yourself boxes! If you do quit it would be a big waste of time and money. So although I do them, and like them, I still don't like to recommend them to others unless it's necessary (like in washington on this trail.) If you do quit tho, to answer your question... you could have the business return the package to sender, you could tell them to give it to another hiker, or you could manually go pick the packages up yourself.
Hey Jupiter, how much does your starting food weigh in at? I just finished 4 day section hike on the MTS trail along the blue ridge parkway. Overall around 65 miles. So I would love to compare your food weight with what I brought.
Who's sending the packages or are you mailing them to yourself from towns with walmart? Are there trail angels who can mail my resuplies? Cause I'm in a different country and want to deliver them to someone in the US. How often do you have them sent? Do you have your resupply sent few days or a week before getting to a town, or a certain km amount before town?
It varies greatly from the start of a trip to the end as my body just isn't yet accustomed to a lot in the beginning. Probably starts around 2,000 a day and goes up to 4,000 by the end. If I find that I didn't pack enough in my usps I can always add and supplement with whatever I can scrounge up at the business I sent my package to, as there is usually a hiker box.
@@johncoffeehays742 and 5,864,912 harbor seals seals died. And 901,843,178 of their pups were clubbed and killed for their fur because of the paper in his video.
I've been eating the couscous meal you posted about, oh, I don't know a couple years ago? The couscous Olive oil, raisins, and some kind of nuts like pine nuts or something. It's really good
That dinner is perfection. I stumbed across something very similar on one of my first hikes when I threw together a mixture of odds and ends that were left in my food bag. Except I cook mine, and I add cheddar cheese and hot sauce. I called it backpacker nachos. Good by itself, even better rolled up in a tortilla.
Jupiter, your honesty and humility is refreshing, like a breath of fresh air. While I’m getting ready for the AT, I’m watching multiple YT videos, so blessed to have found yours. Thank you for sharing your skill sets, gear that’s good and bad and “why”, thoughts about UL vs luxury comfort, picking a site for a tarp vs a tent, resupply, where to send boxes, and set up preparation for someone who might send something. Thanks again, from northern Kentucky.
Great inspiration and tips for preparing meals for a long hiking trip! Rice and beans and bars are always a good choice and a good source of energy ;) Looking forward to your videos of your new PCT life. Good luck and health for this upcoming adventure. Have a wonderful week. Best wishes, Mario
Also, I just wanted to mention that most of Nuun is the citric acid and sodium bicarbonate to make your drink fizzy (talk about luxury). They are what 6 grams each plus the container? IMHO, I personally don’t think they are worth it unless you’re looking for that effervescent experience. Can do flavor drops like Mio to cover up funky water. What I would recommend is 1/4 tsp of good sea or Himalayan salt, 1 pack / 2 tabs of Medi-Lyte electrolyte replenisher (cheap on Amazon) for the calcium, potassium, and magnesium, and possibly some honey for the carbs (30-60 grams per hour when pushing). I’m bringing straight up salt and a honey bear. 🧂 🍯
I know in the past you’ve said you would prefer to do SOBO, but if you are going NOBO, I’m in San Diego and am happy to get you around town and to the terminus in Campo. LMK young man. BTW, another excellent video
Who taught you this method? I’ll keep watching in case you say it in this or one of your other videos. I am older than you but I’m learning from you. Thank you. Just curious who taught you this method
which method do you refer to? A lot of the things I do are adapted from hikers that have inspired me over the years, swami, dirtmonger, ray jardine, scott williamson.... so it could be any one of those people
I wish we could get either the dehydrated cooked beans or the minute rice here in the UK, as I'd love to try this, but we can't. My equivalent cold soaked meal is noodles with peanut butter powder, with Doritos. Again about 900 calories.
It's not a science, more water and it'll be soupy, less water and it'll be thicker. I usually do more as I add fritos and extras that soak up much of that
Still amazing anybody eats that much in one day. To eat that many bars each day, you’d need to be chewing non-stop! Eve need after hiker-hunger sets in, I max out at about 3 per day. Hey, what ever works!
Ok I make a pretty similar dinner every night, minute rice (with taco seasoning for extra flavor/salt) and bean dip from the tin you find in the chip aisle pretty much anywhere (even gas stations) and I love me some Fritos for crunch and flavor, my fave is the chili cheese kind. I've never gotten my act together enough to ship resupplies to myself consistently, but it still works out to be pretty cheap, filling and tasty as hell (albeit *slightly* heavier since my bean dip comes hydrated). Thanks for sharing as always, looking forward to seeing your updates once you hit the trail!
Love your starbursts trail update video! Couldn't comment there (for reasons I understand!) but had to tell you either way. I don't think I'll be able to catch up with you two, but I'd love to know more about this bean dip. Next time i'm shopping i'll have to look for it.
@@JupiterHikes I appreciate it! We're putting out part 2 today I think... spoiler alert, the Northern Sierras were wayyy more snowy than everything south of Forester Pass. Yeah, you're super fast but that's still probably too much ground to cover even for you this time 😂 Once you're done with the PCT you should take your van out towards the CDT and do a section or three!
wanted to say, not sure where is best but- after picking up pepper spray on your blog's reccomendation for my sheltowee thru, it saved my ass when 3 dogs cornered me on a narrow bit of road with railings around mile 117 sobo yesterday. THANK YOU. also a good tip on sending yourself more interesting food that it's hard to get on trail. not something i thought until i was out here and disappointed by my options. being a vegetarian in KY who cant eat nuts or legumes is tough.
I was just wondering about whether you had already started. Good luck to you, have a great hike, and don't go too fast too early! Are you going to make some paintings later on?
I have not yet started! I wish I could say I've just been twiddling my thumbs but there's been a lot to do before leaving as after this trip I think I'll wind up staying out west for quite some time. I will most definitely be making paintings after!!! I am very excited for some new inspiration to work from
It's dehydrated! I linked the specific beans I bought in the video description. I used to dehydrate things myself but it was quite a bit more work so I just started buying in bulk instead
Hey Jupiter! I see you don’t have a box for Snoqualmie Pass, resupply is pretty tricky there. Are you planning on skipping it and going 170 miles from White Pass or Stevens Pass? I’ll be going SOBO in late June, I’ll probably see you in Washington or Oregon! Love the videos man.
You'll probably want a package there, but I have been there before and unless somethings changed there is a gas station and convenience store. Not a great resupply but I'm ok with that. Hope to see you out there!
I haven't but will often just drink some at the end of the day. I have on the other hand in the past added like extra micro nutrient supplements to them. I don't do that anymore though
Would like to see ya do the Allegheny Trail next year. Last spring I did a 98 mile section of it and planning on doing another chunk of it this year. It's awesome. I loved you food ideas. I have to eat gluten free and just about everything you had fit.
I have taken vitamins on some hikes, just forgot to pack some on this one. Haven't personally noticed a difference, but I'm also not being tested in a lab or anything which would be cool
Gonna second the SkurkaBean recipe for anyone wondering. I was buying Backpacker's Pantry for a while and it wasn't even the cost that made me switch, it was indigestion. I had a couple nights after eating Backpacker's Pantry where I would wake up at like 2am with a stomach ache. The SkurkaBeans are notorious for making people gassy but my body can at least break it down unlike some of the $8 stomach bombs I used to eat.
Hi Jupiter. Excellent video, thank you!. I have heard that Tuolumne Meadows is closed this year for construction. I see you have a box sent there. I am hiking through there in late August, and curious if you have heard anything about Tuolumne meadows closures? Good luck on your hike, will be folling you on UA-cam. Thanx - Ray
I just finished the AZT last month and sent myself 4 boxes with food I have always eaten and enjoyed. By the second box, I tossed them in the hiker boxes with the exception of my dinners. I ended up buying all of my resupply food because I just didn't want to eat a single thing I shipped. I think on future thru hikes, I will only ship dinners because I have eaten them for years and always enjoy them. Interestingly enough, they are beans, rice salsa and chicken which I cook and dehydrate at home.
I liked the nature valley fig bars, too. , Justin's nutbutters are great. I've found that I needed something like a sandwich to fill up so I found english muffins smooth well and are pretty light. ... with Justin's filled me up. A meal I made to fill me up was I got bunch of mixed dried organic mushrooms from Costco and blended them, then had, freeze-dried white onions, garlic powder, salt, nutritional yeast, textured soy protein. I also ordered cashew milk powder from znatural foods to make it creamy... (this is also a nice creamer for coffee or tea) This was added to noodles, couscous.... sometimes dill or cumin, etc to change it up a little. I also had flaked beans and made various meals with those. Pre making bags of nut varieties and cranberries or raisins are really satisfying. It's best to chew them to a paste to extract all the nutrients. I often will start with apples cucumbers and will eat those on the first day or so to offset carrying water. Actually really hydrating.

Hi Jupiter, My name is Patches. Approximately how much water do you add for the bean and rice meals you prepare?
It's not a science, more water and it'll be soupy, less water and it'll be thicker. I usually do more as I add fritos and extras that soak up much of that
Woo-hoo! I was thumbs up #500! Feels like I just passed a mile marker on the PCT! 🥾
Still amazing anybody eats that much in one day. To eat that many bars each day, you’d need to be chewing non-stop! Eve need after hiker-hunger sets in, I max out at about 3 per day.
Hey, what ever works!
I try and eat once every hour or two! Keeps the energy up in hopes of preventing a bonk

Hi! Is your rice and beans freeze dried or dehydrated?
It's dehydrated! I linked the specific beans I bought in the video description. I used to dehydrate things myself but it was quite a bit more work so I just started buying in bulk instead
Hey Jupiter! I see you don’t have a box for Snoqualmie Pass, resupply is pretty tricky there. Are you planning on skipping it and going 170 miles from White Pass or Stevens Pass? I’ll be going SOBO in late June, I’ll probably see you in Washington or Oregon! Love the videos man.
You'll probably want a package there, but I have been there before and unless somethings changed there is a gas station and convenience store. Not a great resupply but I'm ok with that. Hope to see you out there!
farting for 4 months straight. lol
Are the refried beans dehydrated?
So, I'm wondering how much did your food weigh for 3-4 days?
Have you ever considered adding electrolytes to your bean mixture in addition to the beverages?
I haven't but will often just drink some at the end of the day. I have on the other hand in the past added like extra micro nutrient supplements to them. I don't do that anymore though
You look like you're in shape.
Where's the beef?😋
Would like to see ya do the Allegheny Trail next year. Last spring I did a 98 mile section of it and planning on doing another chunk of it this year. It's awesome. I loved you food ideas. I have to eat gluten free and just about everything you had fit.
I too would like to hike the allegheny trail!
Do you not add water?
Do you take a vitamin? It seems like the missing macros might be detrimental over time?
I have taken vitamins on some hikes, just forgot to pack some on this one. Haven't personally noticed a difference, but I'm also not being tested in a lab or anything which would be cool
Great information and advice especially concerning footwear, thanks for sharing
Thanks!
heyyyy love the videos! just curious how often to park ragers ask for to see your long distance permit o the PCT?
Gonna second the SkurkaBean recipe for anyone wondering. I was buying Backpacker's Pantry for a while and it wasn't even the cost that made me switch, it was indigestion. I had a couple nights after eating Backpacker's Pantry where I would wake up at like 2am with a stomach ache. The SkurkaBeans are notorious for making people gassy but my body can at least break it down unlike some of the $8 stomach bombs I used to eat.
Before skurka it was quite the popular meal among hikers like scott williamson! Andrew was the one to make it mainstream though
@@JupiterHikes The more you know! Thank you for this lesson in Hiker Lore :)
Thank you for sharing this video!!
Good luck on the trail! Can’t wait to see your journey!!
Incrível seu trekking!💯👏👏👏
Hi Jupiter. Excellent video, thank you!. I have heard that Tuolumne Meadows is closed this year for construction. I see you have a box sent there. I am hiking through there in late August, and curious if you have heard anything about Tuolumne meadows closures? Good luck on your hike, will be folling you on UA-cam. Thanx - Ray
Fall is not far around the corner…😜…Que the flagstaff tourism advertisement…lol…hope you’re having an amazing time out there Jupiter
I just finished the AZT last month and sent myself 4 boxes with food I have always eaten and enjoyed. By the second box, I tossed them in the hiker boxes with the exception of my dinners. I ended up buying all of my resupply food because I just didn't want to eat a single thing I shipped. I think on future thru hikes, I will only ship dinners because I have eaten them for years and always enjoy them. Interestingly enough, they are beans, rice salsa and chicken which I cook and dehydrate at home.
I liked the nature valley fig bars, too. , Justin's nutbutters are great. I've found that I needed something like a sandwich to fill up so I found english muffins smooth well and are pretty light. ... with Justin's filled me up. A meal I made to fill me up was I got bunch of mixed dried organic mushrooms from Costco and blended them, then had, freeze-dried white onions, garlic powder, salt, nutritional yeast, textured soy protein. I also ordered cashew milk powder from znatural foods to make it creamy... (this is also a nice creamer for coffee or tea) This was added to noodles, couscous.... sometimes dill or cumin, etc to change it up a little. I also had flaked beans and made various meals with those. Pre making bags of nut varieties and cranberries or raisins are really satisfying. It's best to chew them to a paste to extract all the nutrients. I often will start with apples cucumbers and will eat those on the first day or so to offset carrying water. Actually really hydrating.
I think you are one of the few thru hikers who do not eat crap everyday. Safe travels and looking forward to following!!!!!!!
Just whipped up the Beans and Rice. Great stuff. D~lish. I really could not get over it, no wonder you are so fond of it. Next time. Fritos.
My number one favorite meal on the trail. Just frustrated I can’t find the Santa Fe in my local markets in Los Angeles
