    Tortillas with the dehydrated beans you showed, minute rice, cheese and hot sauce packets. 😋
    Also, divy up a pkg of brownie mix into 4 or 6 ziplocks, add to each: a scoop of walnuts, a scoop of protein powder (or instant breakfast). When you want to eat it, add a little olive oil & water.

    You could go on forever really and add instant mashed potato . Packets of powdered soups, "just add milk" pudding mixes and custard powder for dessert experiments, Gravy granules, curry powder, chilli flakes, Hot chocolate sachets. Flavoured Cous Cous, barley grains, all make great filling carbohydrate intake.
    Dried noodle products are legendary. Mac n cheese mixes also.
    Use freezer bags to keep contents pre-mixed in at home. write on the bag and date it with a sharpie. Different colours for different meal items.
    Water should be sourced, filtered and purified and planned carefully, also fuel requirements.
    Salami (pepperoni) and cheese sticks keep well without spoiling. It is possible to dehydrate almost any food / meals at home.
    Fruits work best. Also peas, corn and crispy dried onion add nutrition, texture and flavour to many savoury dishes.
    But DIY preservation of fish & white meats and eggs are sketchy at best due to bacterial concerns.
    Practise preparing & eating hiker meals at home before you go outdoors, to get flavours and volumes perfected. Also cook outside testing different cooksystems and fuel types, in various weather conditions.
    All the items we want should be affordable, tasty, calorie dense, lightweight, compact and easy to reconstitute.

    Superb ideas in this video. Thanks! We dehydrate and backpack with fruit from our garden. Plums are awesome! Another easy trick is to buy, then dehydrate thick slices of (salted and flavored) turkey loaf, for sale in grocery deli cases. Turkey jerky goes well in vegetarian soups, like Bear Creek.

    There are small oil pumps available which reduce the carry weight and possible spillage of oils, lentils are full of nutrients as well and are low cost. This is a really informative video with many alternative options. Powdered milk or Coffemate works and consider small packets of honey or sauces. The navajo blankets work well to keep a person warm as does the new battery operated clothing of today. A small tarp is sufficient and reduces carrying weight by more than half. A well packed pack could only weigh 3-5 lbs at best with food and other items for a few days.

    • @meinthewild
      @meinthewild 3 роки тому +2

      I guess it depends on what experience you are seeking on your hike. If you’re only looking to maximize miles, then yeah, anything that takes more than 10 minutes to cook and 5 minutes to wolf down is a waste. But, if you want to actually enjoy the camping part of the experience, then good food cooked slowly plus prep and clean up time are totally worth it. I’m mostly in the latter camp. For me and many others, hiking is not a marathon competition.

    • @johnswanson3741

      Pancakes are for mom's and kids that don't know any better! I learned when in my teens out camping that pancakes over an open fire are a waste of time and energy, and you end up with a mess to clean up in the morning......period!

  • @EspenFrafalne
    @EspenFrafalne 3 роки тому +4

    For short trips, i would maybe bring some home made protein bars. It is cheap and easy to make - and just a single bite size piece have a *surprising* amount of energy and nutrients! Grind up your favorite nuts in a blender (coarse or fine), add some protein powder, cocoa powder, and maybe some cranberries, and mix everything. Then add enough raw honey (maybe mixed with olive oil if its too hard) to mix it with the dry ingredients so it sticks together (it did *not* taste like honey when i made it). Work it to a smooth consistent dough, spread it on a piece of baking paper, and push it down to a compact mass about an inch thick. Put in the fridge for maybe half an hour, and cut into 1 square inch pieces. Im not really sure how long they last outside the fridge, but im guessing it should be good for a day or 2 if packed in saran wrap.
    For longer trips, id get some freeze dried caseroles or soups with instant mashed potatoes, bread, or maybe a mix of rice, beans, lentils, and qinoa.
    Im also planning to get a dehydrator, so i can make my own dried mincemeat and other foods.
    Unflavored whey protein shake tastes like milk mixed with water (if you only only mix it with water), and it *can* be used for a protein rich cereal. I have never tried dry milk, but im guessing it would be better to mix the whey protein with dry milk to improve the flavor... I like to get the unflavored type, and just add cocoa powder or other flavors myself (the flavored ones usually have artificial sweeteners in them). No sugar for me though. I have had enough toothakes from sweets in my life, and getting new teeth at the dentist is *expensive* (i got 2 already - and it should have been 4)...
