For everyone who is asking, It's actually 3,200 Calories per "Full Day" & that's NOT counting the Nuts.
1oz of Macadamia/Cashew/Almonds is about 200 Calories (mainly because of the Macadamias). There is 14oz of Nuts in that bag, so about 700 Calories a day just from Nuts.
So in this resupply, I have about 3,900 Calories a "Full Day". That's more than enough for me. 😉
Hike On,
Darwin
Do you end up eating the entire packet of Knorr/Idahoan with your tuna packet each night? I've tried your tuna and couscous dinner and that's a tasty meal!
I'm mainly a weekend warrior and take some time in the summer to do some longer sections (music educator here).
Was this video shot in Flagstaff or Mogollon Rim or somewhere else? Arizona is my home (Scottsdale) and this video looks like where I like to hike/camp. Beautiful AZ!
Thanks good ideas Darwin.
14 oz nuts is 2800 calories.
That's about the same that used to feed us in the in the army each mre is round 3000 calories
Personally, I always try to leave town with an extra day or so of food for every 3-4 days I think I'm going to be on trail. That way if I'm delayed I don't have to ration. If I'm not delayed, then I can either have a feast before town and be less likely to spend tons of money on massive restaurant meals, or I can save that extra portion to be my first day's food on the next leg. It means an extra 2 lbs in my pack I may not need, but it's kept me from being hungry more than a couple times when the climbs wound up being slower than expected, or a low flat section wound up being boggy mud and I was working my tail off for sub-1 mile per hour paces. Some segments are easy to adjust and make up time, others not so much and those are usually the ones where you need every calorie you can get and rationing is just going to slow you down more and make you cranky to boot.
Ever since I started watching your videos about six months ago I've been inspired to go backpacking for the first time and I finally got all the gear I need and miraculously inspired my wife as well so we will both go backpacking. Very exciting times, thank you for all the time and hard work you put into these videos.
AWESOME!!! Get Out Here! 🤙
Are you guys still backpacking?
@@daisychain4096 actually I am but not my wife, we had a baby. Once he’s old enough we’ll go on some trips. It’s car camping for now!
We eat section hikers, ya know, for the protein.
😂
What???
@Blenselche dude lol
Yeah, not much fat there.
Lol...
Thats because you come from the “TERMINUS“
As a personal Rule of Thumb, I always make sure I have at least one extra days worth of food in case of an emergency. You never know what might happen. There could be a fire deviation or weather that might stall you for a day. So it is always good to carry at least one extra day worth of food.
I do this too. If I’m just preparing for a week hike, I do +2 meals for myself and +1 cup of dog food for my pup. Do I use it? Eh most likely not. But it’s there just in case.
I sent resupply boxes for my LASH. They worked great. Yes, it takes a lot more upfront planning, but the payoff for me was that when I went into town to pick up a box, I could really enjoy the town or unwind. I didnt have to worry about what the resupply options were. I had a family member send my boxes, each was numbered and packed before I left, but left open with an address written on the mailing label, and a blank mailing label if I needed to switch pick up points. That way anything could be taken out or added (in my case 5 days of food was just too heavy, so I had to adjust) as needed. Worked great, and it helped my mom's peace of mind because that meant I was in regular contact with her.
I'm making my own dehydrated meals for the majority of my hikes this year, it'll save me money and I know I like my own cooking!
Cool! How do you do that?
@@jonathanmayer1247 I've got a dehydrator machine and a vacuum sealer. Its possible to do it with just an oven on its lowest setting.
Main thing is when you're cooking the meal not to use extra fats if you can avoid them. I have recently posted a video of how I do it
@@DanOutdoorsUK Thanks man!
Cheers
@@jonathanmayer1247 No problem, hopefully it'll help 👍
I dreaded hiking gluten free, but it's actually surprisingly easy. Definitely more expensive, but some of the hiker basics are already GF (oatmeal packets usually, corn tortillas, instant mash usually).
One note about hiking with diabetes - there really isn't an umbrella diet. Not only are their huge differences between Type 1 and Type 2 (T1 generally don't have dietary restrictions due to diabetes itself), but hiking it strenuous enough to lower both type's blood sugars, both short term and long term. I've known T2s who eat the normal hiker garbage and don't have bg problems with it while hiking. And for my T1 son, we needed to lower his basal insulin for over a month after a 2 week AT section, AND he was eating a lot of uncovered (not taking insulin for) carbs. Everyone with diabetes should consult with their doc first, but a special diet while hiking, especially thru hiking, probably isn't necessary. Just managing lows and carrying extra juice or glucose tabs.
Great Points! Thanks!
Perfect timing for me! I need to put together my PCT resupplies this weekend! Thanks for the organization tips!
Great info Darwin, as always. Thank you and it’s truly impressive how you’ve become a steward of hikers in a way. Good on you, we all appreciate the effort that you put into the content of your videos.
Great edition for beginners! Really informative. A gold star for braving the cold today ⭐️ ! Happy new year 🥳
Can't tell you how much I appreciate how informative yet basic your videos are, Darwin! Thanks for keeping it simple and to the point. I look forward to following your next hike!
My wife and I have been following you for while, love the video! Planning our food for Patagonia in late February. Always appreciate the tips and advice from your experience on the trail.
Happy Trails,
Ben & Amy
You and Frozen do make some of the best backpacking videos. Videos like this help a lot! 👍 The waterfall at 5:15 is amazing!!
Thanks for braving the cold Darwin you know we love to see you outside!
Thank's Darwin for your hard work and research. I've learned a lot from your videos. My 2021 thru hike of the AT will be much better.
Snow: it has "no" right there in it.
OldSchool Jeremy ahahahhaha omg too true
Great info, good job Darwin. Always a joy. You'll be happy to know that I'm watching this video in my bed after getting off the Pinhoti today. I took my mom for her first hike out to McDill point in the Cheaha wilderness via the Pinhoti and camped there and tried out my cousin's duplex for the first time before investing in one myself, or going all in on hammocking. Waiting on Zpacks to come out with an ultralight hammock bug net to pair with their 7 oz hammock rainfly and a 5 oz hummingbird hammock... Gonna try no underquilt hammocking since I got the new NeoAir Xlite for Christmas. That should cut down the need and weight of an underquilt with the new 4.2 R-Value on that bad boy. Awesome sunset on the trail last night. Anyway, great video as always! Liked!
I tried to eat "healthy" on the AT... by Va I was packing out a pound of candy on average 😅
My wife, who is very, very Gluten sensitive (but not celiac) survived fairly well on our 2018 AT hike. Certainly it took some creativity and more money but we did not use food drops. A couple of apps were helpful. The Gluten Free app and scanner were essential to negotiate different food options and, of course, Walmart’s app which allows you to order ahead a specific product you want at your next Walmart stop and have it available and waiting! Tuna, spam, mashed, GF trail bars - Kind/Luna type bars, pre cooked bacon (which was surprisingly available
in most grocery stores offered a great lightweight protein, calorie dense, and tasty option. Walmart and most all of the grocery stores were pretty good, especially Publix. By far the hardest stores were the Dollar General type stores Actually some of those super gas/convience stores you would run into were great (but very pricey!) We actually found precooked hard boiled eggs, tunas,spam and even some fresh and dried fruit options, nuts and jerky galore at most of those. Creativity is key to GF hiking and expect to pay more but not a big problem! Actually a lot of fellow hikers became familiar with my wife’s unique approach of strapping a full loaf of Schar GF bread on top of her pack as she hike out of town! One word of caution...Hostels were very difficult to deal with...frozen pizza and pancakes (typical Hostel fare) are not an option so be prepared! Hope that helps someone not to worry too much and let them leave their donkey at home!
Great video Darwin, thanks. I was thinking about looking into hiking food as I'm off to the PCT in April - can't wait! Love your videos, mate, so thanks for all the hard work! Happy New Year and happy hiking!
Definitely one of the better topics I’ve seen him cover, the small details that can be overwhelming when you’re trying to plan everything out. Stuff that is commonly looked over.
Previous question I had about your ways of tracking has be answered in this video, thanks Darwin
Really good offering Darwin. I appreciate the reasoning behind trying hard to eat healthy and at the same time getting enough calories and being practical about cost and availability.
I know this is an older video but thank you so much for this! I have severe dairy allergies so it’s definitely a challenge resupplying on longer hikes. Definitely great to hear some more advice.
Thank you for all the informative videos, they really make planning less daunting
Thanks for chilling out with us Darwin & sharing more great information. 👍🏻🙏
🥶🥶🥶
Great video! The day is quickly approaching to the start of my PCT hike this year. I like what you talked about the first leg of your thru-hike. Very helpful tips for my first thru-hike.
I'm starting my thru hike of the PCT this year also, when are you starting?
@@whotubeblows1The second week in March. Originally, it was the first week, but I forgot I had a prior engagement. I was incredibly lucky that I could change it today (Jan. 14).
I love those Salmon packets. I take green onion, apple, carrot, cellery and avocado to cut up and make tuna salad! It's my no cook first day or two go to meal! Yummy!
still looking for a place here to get them
omgosh... great idea. I imagine that you could also dehydtrate the fruits and veg. if needed as well ; )
Great video Darwin. Hopefully 2021 will be safer for me to do some group hikes and get my gear dialed in. I love the budget gear videos you do for us day hikers who are just getting started. Stay safe!
Started watching so many videos, so i can be prepared. Every video i watch of yours gives me new notes to work with to add to planning. Its a bit aways, but can't wait to hit the AT in full. And EMBRACE THE SUCK.
Retiring September 2020 ! This is so helpful as I prepare for PCT and AT next few years. My major stress level and fun challenge as well has always been how to resupply. At my age , I believe the nutrients in my diet are critical as I seem to breakdown a bit faster than all the younger trail hikers that I have been surveying recently. Well done Darwin !
Another great video. Most of my trips are short duration at the moment and I have recently lost 50 pounds and started to really focus on my food intake. This year I am starting to learn how to dehydrate food and preparation on trail. Going to make videos of my process of learning, like a backcountry cooking show lol. Looking forward to your hikes this year!
Always good info. Still new to backpacking and learning alot. Thanks for sharing and putting out positive vibes and great tips.
Thanks for posting this one! Will be super helpful in planning my first thru this season. Happy new year Darwin!
I am just getting back into backpacking after a 30-year hiatus. Really enjoy the videos and even though I'm nearly 63-years old I'm getting the urge to attempt a thru-hike. Oatmeal has been my go-to food while backpacking. I've mixed it with dehydrated veggies and fruits and then having a Complete Cookie for dessert makes for a satisfying breakfast or dinner. Anyway, thanks for the tips Darwin and good luck on your 2020 endeavors!
Love your work, sir. Super helpful. Your integrity shines through.
This is such a helpful video, I was so nervous about resupply but this really clears up a lot. Thanks Darwin :D
Thanks Darwin! It helped ease my nerves for my first thru hike on the PCT this year :)
Excellent video!! I look forward to watching you hike the AT again.
I can’t be the only one shocked there was no cous cous for dinner...
👍
Also porridge for breakfast if cooking is a staple for me on cooler days
%)) I guess a lot of the same food make it unbearable )
I hear that!
I was shocked that he walked passed a movie theater playing Deadpool without stopping.
Where I don't eat couscous in normal day life I do bring it when in the field. I usually add flakes of dried seaweed or goji berries and put that into a small plastic bottle. This way I can leave the packaging at home and the bottle is reusable for the water supply.
This is amazing and informative Darwin. AT2020 starting on March 16th! Hope to see you out there!!
Getting close!! Good luck! Have fun! :)
I spent my whole day worrying about resupply and what the hell I think I'll want to eat in Washington 6 months from now. This is a big help. Thanks, dude.
Darwin,really cool you talked about this today,my friends and I thought we had to mail our items to areas where we would be,we were wrong of course...very informative vid,as all your vids are that's what makes them so good,other than you know your shit, literally,anyway thanks for always being there,we all appreciate it,even if we don't say so...
NICE! Glad you dig the Video! 🤙
Hike On,
Darwin
4:46 Did you really just eat Fritos with gloves on? I knew I couldn't trust you lol.
"Do you want norovirus? Because this is how we get norovirus."
Thanks for the tips Darwin. I am preparing for a small thru hike in May on a 70 mile trail. I want to make sure I take enough food knowing it has to be dry/non perishable. I will be fortunate enough to have a hiking buddy join halfway through so it makes my resupply easier since there is no towns, stores, etc. in between.
Thank you very much for the videos. I am new to backpacking and want to do a thru hike of the AT soon. I have only so far watched a handful of your videos but each one has been valuable to me in preparation. Just wanted to let you know that what you're doing is appreciated and maybe I'll run into you on the trail sometime!
Was just researching this on Google load up UA-cam and here it is. Thanks so much!
As an experienced Florida Trail thru hiker... I need to start a v/blog about specifically gas station resupply recipes! Grocery and Dollar General resupplies are easy... make some gourmet from a gas station, that's where the fun begins! On the FT, usually that's all we have, not many post offices or hostels or hiker towns or towns at all, just gas stations as far as the eye can see. Thanks Darwin for all your awesome videos!!! You inspire us all! Love ya, Love ya show!
Thx for making this vid.
I am looking at the AT in 2021.
And I'm diabetic.
I'm not sure about how or what to plan.
I would prefer to resupply in town, but I'm taking your advise about, doing research.
This is the second video I've watched and I'm really liking your advise.
So I subscribed.
Maybe I'll see you on the trail.
Embrace the suck!
Was literally talking to a friend yesterday about possibly doing a thru hike, but had no idea how the resupplies worked. Thanks!
1 1/2 months out there in 2018, and 6 months of PCTs in 2019 and I'm still learning how it works. It can be very tricky, especially on a budget, and bearded hikers with big packs Do Not get easy hitches into town or back to trail. To and from Wrightwood CA was pretty much the only exception - Awesome town for hikers.
Some places did have local buses with stops close to trail, but they are tricky too. Internet information is sometimes dead wrong, like the non-existed bus run through Aqua Dulce.
I'll be section hiking the AT in 2020. Thanks for the advice and I hope to see you on the Trail!
So will I Jason. Gonna do all of Virginia in late March
Thanks man, your stuff is always helpful
Separating out each day of food sounds like a great idea. I need more for breakfast tho.
Good info Darwin. Folks can follow your guidance with confidence.
You talked me into trying Bobo's oatmeal bars for breakfast, instead of regular oatmeal. I hope it works as well, and no mess.
Love your videos. Inspired by your passion. Thank you.
A lot of good info in here. I appreciated the work you have done putting this together. Really glad you have the link to mailing yourself packages. Two thumbs up!
Very nice video that is informative , well structured , and HONEST !!
Your channel (and similar) inspires me. When my preschooler is older, I want to start taking him on section hikes. :-)
As always you sir are a cornucopia of wisdom. Thank you, love your videos.
Excellent video and comments everybody! I really learned a lot from this video 😁
Im not a hiker but. I keep following your videos because you make everything so interesting. Please dont stop creating!
Darwin.very thorough video.thanks
I enjoy your videos, but always had a different outlook on backpacking, than most people.
I carried heavy packs, for about 2000 miles, over high passes, for 20 summers, in King's Canyon/Sequoia N.P. and the John Muir Wilderness.
My (and my friend's) philosophy was to hike fewer miles; but get to the high country, and fish, take photos, eat GOOD food (all pre-packed, at home, and carried on our backs), climb, and PARTY! (It was the 70's!)
I may be the only person to ever play the fiddle, on top of Mt. Whitney.
One of my friends carried his french horn, on his pack, all through the Sierra. It was awesome, echoing off the cliffs!
I guess we all have our own way of enjoying backpacking; but it's important to do it; so we'll stay dedicated to protecting it.
Personally, I'm heading to the N. Fork of the King's River, this summer, to celebrate my 50th anniversary of my first backpacking trip in the Sierras.
I'm 77, so I'll be carrying a lighter pack, than I used to.
See you on the trail!
Very helpful, planning AT this spring...thank you
Great information and tips. I usually just put everything in my bag but think I will split the days up like you have it. I tend to eat constantly and mindlessly while I am on the trail and will end up eating way more in a day than I should lol.
Always informative.luv it.
Hey Darwin, I'm really enjoying your videos as I prep for my first thru-hike, the Colorado Trail. I'm going for a mix of boxes and buying as I go because some places will be hard to get good, nutritious vegan foods. In planning my resupplies, I've found I will frequently have partial days as I come into town for my resupply, based on mileage. However, unless I take each of those days as a nero, finishing up the rest of that day will change my pacing for the next resupply section. For instance, if I come in to town with a 10 mile morning and leave to do another 10 (for an average of 20 miles per day), that would slightly offset my mileage to the next town (an 80 mile segment would then technically be only 70). So, I would need a dinner for the first day, 3 full days of food, and then a breakfast to go into the next town. It seems like this is how you plan your food as well, although you generally do this planning once you get into town. Does this make sense as a strategy? Would you suggest I round all partial days up? Am I overthinking my resupply strategy? Thanks!
Thought this was an older video.. and then I realized it was made four hours ago lol this is perfect
Touched on a good subject. I plan PCT 2020. While doing my research I bumped into Wrightwood to KOA/Acton saw 81 miles. About the same distance as Lake Morena to Warner Springs but with no resupply in between, more snow, higher elevations. I'm also a type 2 diabetic. Our channel used to be "D2 and Oliveoil hike" but I changed it to "Felipe and Oliveoil hike" because I despise talking about diabetes. I'm still working on it.
Good lord I'd love to hike the AP, however I don't think my knee would take it. :( Thanks for posting all these awesome videos man! I live vicariously through you!
I would love to meet you when you pass through near me on the AT.
Your advice and delivery is great.
Awesome as usual Darwin. I am trying to set myself up for another AT thru hike this year (fingers crossed), so hopefully we can meet at some point. Thanks for what you do for the community.
EXCELLENT!!!! I hope to see you out there ER!!! 🤙
Lmao when the Sherpa is carrying more than the donkey😂🤣
I think the Sherpa was carrying more than their own body weight. lol
Shadow Prince I’d want to be carrying group gear with him
When you do the Colorado Trail, I would recommend bikepacking it instead of thruhiking it. I know you like to bikepack and this is the best trail to bikepack that is nearly all single track. It is definitely worth the bikepack.
My longest hike here in the Netherlands was 2 weeks and almost everyday you will get into a town. I would carry all my breakfast stuff and 1 or 2 'emergency' meals and the rest I would pick up daily in local supermarkets
Darwin I love your stuff and I know this video has been out for awhile and you are on the AT but I got some food ideas for you anyways. My favorite trail meal is Refried Bean Soup - refried black bean flakes, instant rice, cheese, Frank's hot sauce water and maybe a squirt of olive oil (Avoid refried bean flakes that come already seasoned).Andrew Skurka makes this with taco seasoning and fritos. (why i didnt think of fritos - doh)
Cheesie Hash browns. - the hash browns come in a milk carton. Fill the carton with water and soak for at least an hour - you can soak them while hiking. Add oil to pan and fry the hash browns add cheese near the end. Your pot is more upright if you have a pot that is more squat this will work better.
Ramen Bomb - but I think about everybody makes those - but they are tasty.
Squeeze Parkey Margerine - it doesn't spoil and you can add that to every Knorr meal to up the calories and flavor.
Bacon Pieces (or bits) - you find them in the salad dressing section of the grocery store. - get the real ones and not the fake. - Bacon goes with everything. - peanut butter and bacon sandwich, refried bean and bacon soup. You get the idea.
Bearcreek Potato Soup with dehydrated corn and bacon - The package has too much for one meal - so you are going to have to bust it up at home or split it with somebody. Rehydrate the corn 1st - either soak while hiking or boil water and throw the corn in and then turn off and let it soak. When corn is ready follow the instructions on the package add corn and bacon to the soup.
....Now if you want to pack a frying pan...you could make some upside down pizza
Thanks, my section hikes on the AT are getting further and further from home so by necessity, they will be getting much longer. For the one 12 day hike I went on, I resupplied in towns, which in NJ and NY is really easy, plus lots of meals available along the way. I feel like the AT is really several different trails - Maine is far different than NJ (haven't gotten further south yet.)
You're doing the GDT! Heck yeah!
Good looking meal plan! I would add some dehydrated fruits and some sort of dessert. On those lazy days, a mountain home will do the trick.
Very informative video Darwin,thank you friend.
Watched all of it, thank you very much
Kind bars are my favorite trail food but next time I am on the AT I will have to try packing my meals like this. Looks very organized and I am a snacker as well could help me with that:) Much love -TTO
We normaly resupply in town but I have had packages sent if I wanted specific items like local home candys and honey . We were worried that they wouldnt have them wherever we are visiting.
This looks like a tasty 4 days. I agree on your improvisation, eating on the cheap with Cheetos or whatnot. That's some good advice, to eat high calorie fatty stuff, and stuff that's readily available. All too often I hear from hikers who waste money on fancy prepared mixtures when a perfectly sufficient Idahoan mashed potatoes would suffice. Next time I'm on the trail I should try that delicious looking and innovative tortilla avocado Cheeto burrito of yours. Very comprehensive and helpful video, Sir. Liked and subbed!
Excellent and informative video. Thanks for posting this.............
My last hike I tried something new and loved it. Now that you are cooking again, you might like it too. Mountain house sells a #10 can of ground beef. I divided that up into individual ziplock freezer 1l bags. I added taco seasoning, instant retried beans and cheese powder. I would cook this and either eat it by itself or bring tortillas and make a backpacking burrito. It was delicious. My only suggestion is to err on the side of using less water. I think I used half of what the packages may have calculated to use to reconstitute the food. It should be the consistency of a burrito from Taco Bell for example. Looking forward to watching you hike the AT again. My turn comes in 2025!
My meal prep looks very similar to yours. I also always carry an extra pound of brown rice. I tend to hike primarily during the winter so the guarantee of the next town is never there. I also do a lot of fishing to supplement my diet and theres nothing better than fresh cooked food on a cold night.
Awesome video! Very informative!!!
Awwww... thanks for going out in the cold for us! Totes preesh.
No Prob! 🥶🥶🥶
@@DarwinOnthetrail C'mon, Darwin! Turn the camera around and show us the parking lot! (JK!) ;-)
Excellent info and presentation thanks
I did the JMT and loved cream of rice for breakfast, I pre-bagged in freezer bags so that was my eating container, mixed in a bit of cinnamon and some dried berries and splenda... Awesome to get me going in the morning! For lunch I did tortillas and moose goo (google it) and dinner pretty much what you use.
My gf and i spent 7 months hiking in France. There were some very rural parts that had limited options. Although generally we stuck to the same stuff, one of the greatest pleasures was being able to get local cheese that we couldn't get anywhere else in the country due to the way their distribution laws work. Of course, occasionally sleeping at a locals house/garden meant we also got some incredible local cuisine. I remember a cheese and potato dish that was almost chewy, that had us full up for 2 days of hiking. Never came across is again as that cheese was only made in that one small area.
While walking there was pretty easy game and we have since done much harder hikes (and set our eyes on a modified E1, Norway-Sicily), the food was just about my favourite thing in France and what I'd consider doing it all over again for. Haven't ever done the resupply boxes, but it's certainly a consideration for the E1, as my gf is vegetarian she'll find it hard to get enough nutrition is areas heavily dominated with meat and fish products.
Thanks for the video, it's given me some ideas that I hope to be able to replicate in the UK and Europe!
Glad you loved your hiking in France. The creamy potato and cheese was probably some Aligot. I use some dehydrated one when I go on the trail. Not as good as a fresh one but still tasty and gets your belly full.
Less carbohydrates and more fats! Yes! We need a video on your discoveries in this area! I do keto, bordering carnivore, and I'm realizing that I'll need to be a bit more open with my diet on the AT next year, but I'm still going to hug to my diet as best as I can. So I'm doing a lot of research.
I tend to over pack on food when section hiking. I did do a small resupply when I hike for six days in SNP. It was at the Elkwallow Wayside. Ate a burger and bought some dehydrated meals and snacks.
I too am planning on doing the Colorado Trail at the end of this month, actually. 😁
Great Video Darwin! Really useful info as always! Will you be making it to Denver for winter Outdoor Retailer?
When I got out of prison I told myself I was gonna see the world to make up for lost time. One thing I couldn’t escape from no matter how far I hiked, the ramen noodle concoctions I’ve seen people throw together and call a meal 😂
Great video, thank you!
Hey Darwin. Awesome info once again. I am thru hiking the A T on March 1st with a vegan friend. I have never hiked before so this video is right on time with my planning. I don't know if I'm going to have my wife send me mail drops along the trail when I suspect losey resupply options or not. I have been researching the areas that only have a gas station or the prices too high and came up with about 5. Keep up the great vids and would love to meet you on the trail.
Thank,
Dave aka Maybe Later
