I never get tired of these backpacking food videos! I'm always looking for new ideas and the food is half the fun for me. The scenery in the background was incredible! I love those power crunch bars too, vanilla is my favorite.
Anything from PackIt Gourmet. I see you like them, too. I was a big fan of Sarah McConnell’s freezer bag cooking, but modern freeze dried meals are so good I just go with them most of the time.
My favorite hiking 🥾 snacks are oatmeal with dried fruits, organic chia and flax seeds on it . Dried dates, pistachios, guava paste , cheddar moon cheese ,dried figs, and pecans, I liked to add natural 🍋 to my water with a pinch of salt, or naan tablets to hydrate my body
All of these snacks sound awesome! I love dried figs and dried dates so much! I've never tried guava paste though. I'll have to try it. Thanks for watching!
Could you submerge the candy bar (wrapped, of course) in your water bottle to cool it off & "solidify" it a little before you open & eat it? It should be waterproof in its packaging....
It is beautiful! He loves it. I'm not sure where he bought it, but it's called a Shemagh and he uses it for shade, bug protection, and sometimes he gets it wet and wears it around his neck to keep cool. I think I'm going to get one too!
New subscriber, checking out more videos after your IKEA must have camping items video was so awesome WHAT brand reusable zip-close bags are you using in this video? Thanks
Very interesting food choices! Its great to mix it up and try new things. The crackers and salmon was a good idea. You could probably even throw the salmon tuna bag into your chick pea meal to add some hardiness to it. But thats if you weren't putting it on crackers. I just got into the pakkit gourmet freeze dried meals and they are awesome! They sell a sampler pack that has like 11 meals and a few desserts and such. Although i just had the mountain house beef stroganoff and it was awesome. Mid sized meal not one of the large ones. My favorite new snack is the Belvita soft bake oat and chocolate chip breakfast bars!! Wow totally recommend them!! They make a blue berry version and belvita Protein bars. 200 calories each and 10 grams of protein. I can eat like 3 of them things! Stay safe guys! Hike on!!
Hello! I’m backpacking for the first time next Thursday & have seen every single one of your videos!!! I’m curious to see how you pack all your food items. I just bought a bear canister & shopping this wknd for all the food, of course from all your delicious recipes! I keep wondering, is everything going to fit?! 😭 I’ll be doing a 6 day backpacking at mineral king loop!! Any advice I would be extremely appreciative! THANK YOU
I've definitely had moments of contemplating how in the world I was going to get everything into the bear canister and unfortunately I don't really have any good tips, other than sometimes you just have to really pack it all in there and squish some things down! Sorry I couldn't be more helpful on this! Your trip sounds awesome though. I hope you have a great time!
New subscriber here. Great videos, love the quality and your information! Please share the trail information. I hike Utah every week so I keep trying to figure out the trails.
Idahoan instant potatoes (various flavors) with freeze dried cheese and dehydrated ground beef or chicken. The normal package is typically too much for a single meal, so I split the package for individual portions.
New subscriber from Boise. Great vid thanks. How do you do your own dehydrating or freeze-drying? Maybe a video on preparing those delicious camp meals at home? Keep them coming!
Just found your channel this week. Love your content and especially your cinematography. Would you please consider including the locations of your trips in the description? Thank you.
New subscriber here and loving your channel! I am also from Utah :) I would love to see a video on how you pack a cooler for cold items and also how you organize and pack your gear in your car.
Hey, new subscriber and fairly new backpacker. Went on 2 hikes today and kinda overloaded my pack with food haha! Love the banana and cinnamon idea, def adding that to my go to's. Thanks for the great ideas, looking forward to learning from you guys.
Hi Amanda, I recently found your UA-cam Channel and have really enjoyed your videos. I think the sandals you are wearing in this video are really cute. If you don't mine me asking, what brand are they?
Amanda you're awesome! Love the views! I'll be trying some of those products and your recipes this weekend, hopefully 🤞. It's supposed to rain - but what's new in the PNW. I'm born and raised here so I'm used to it. Can't wait to get out!
Just ordered some of those salted caramel power crunch bars. You steered me to the lemon ones a few months ago, and were amazing, looking forward to trying these!
My favorite backpacking meals so far: Mountain House breakfast scramble and Backpacker's Country banana coconut granola (good with hot or cold water). We have no room for a dehydrator in our teeny lil house, but one of these days when we have a bigger home that'll be a purchase for us! I'd love to make my own food for an overnight.
Something worth checking into as I was having this issue... everyone knows the longer you leave meals sit to rehydrate, the better they taste. But after 20 min or so, some of my meals were starting to cool off too much and now I'd have a fully rehydrated meal that wasn't all that hot anymore....

Fits pretty much any size dehydrated backpacking meal and keeps it nice and hot while it's rehydrating. GENIUS! And it weighs practically nothing (bonus!) and it's only $10 (double bonus!)
@@amanda.outside so I was just trying out my tent and sleeping pad I just bought and having a tough time packing it back up. Do you have any tips on getting the darn thing back into its bag.
Having just watched your video other than your main meal I was appalled at the processed junk food you ate. Nothing beats oatmeal as a natural base for all but the main meal. Add fruits, chocolate and fat or honey. Have it as a muesli, cook it into bars for snacks or cold pressed as a high energy snack. Second is rice: think asian and cold boiled rice in the morning with tuna flakes is nutritious, pressed into bars with crystallized fruits is really yummy and full of energy. A favorite main meal is noodles with dehydrated mixed veg and a boiled egg crumbled on top. Boiled eggs may be heavy but they travel well and in the shell are good for a week in temperate climates.
Love that your meals are healthier than what most people eat on the trail.
Def agree...ive seen all these yucky trail food packs. You gotta be healthy
Can you make a video about dehydrating meals and snacks?
I am hooked on power crunch for backpacking
I never get tired of these backpacking food videos! I'm always looking for new ideas and the food is half the fun for me. The scenery in the background was incredible! I love those power crunch bars too, vanilla is my favorite.
The slow mo moments cracked me up! Well done!
New subscriber from Alberta, Canada! Remind me of our mountains here and now I just CAN'T wait for summer!! Thanks for these videos, loving them :)
These items all seem like they would be expensive! Would love to know the prices of all the pre packaged stuff.
Thanks for watching! These are some of my current favorite backpacking meals and snacks!! What are some of yours? Comment below ⬇️

Hi there I believe it is a snow peak titanium cook set!
Nick's blanket is gorgeous! What is it?
It is beautiful! He loves it. I'm not sure where he bought it, but it's called a Shemagh and he uses it for shade, bug protection, and sometimes he gets it wet and wears it around his neck to keep cool. I think I'm going to get one too!
Hi
P.s. do you have an amazon list I can shop from???
There are links in the description of this video! 💚
What do you guys use as a filtration system when refilling for water? Great video, very informative!
We both have a Sawyer Squeeze and love it!
amandaoutside what’s the bladder that you have connected to the sawyer?
I found some individual olive oil packets at Walmart…I just purchased them for our camping trips
I love how much you use reusable bags. Not just in this video but all your camping/backpacking videos.
I like to take dates backpacking for when I really need energy. It's better than the energy gels. I also loooove Power Crunch bars!
New subscriber, checking out more videos after your IKEA must have camping items video was so awesome
WHAT brand reusable zip-close bags are you using in this video? Thanks
that trail is just 👌is this utah?
ps nick hiding under the blanket reminded me of frodo and sam hiding under the elvish cloak (ok yes i’m a geek)
Ant O. 😆
Yessss 🙌🏻
😂😂 that's what he was thinking when he did it!
amandaoutside nerds in nature unite
I wish they sold little packets of bacon fat. Be a great addition to your homemade dehydrated meals.
Good morning Nick and Amanda. New to your channel. Thanks for outstanding video of your hike. 😊.
Girl. Thank you! I'm going backpacking in the pnw seattle area with my small dog and 5 yr old and I rly find great advice from your videos
You are so welcome! Have an awesome trip!

You should totally start your own backpacking food company! :)
Maybe one day! I do love the food part of backpacking 😂
Great videos thank you for all your information :-)
What trail were you hiking? It looked awesome.
That seems like a lot of food. How many bear cans do you carry?
If I hiked like that I’d have to carry nothing but food.
Nice video I like cliff bars nuts and seeds is my go to
Lived in Utah for 25 years and currently live in Iowa. This is so depressing. I miss the mountains so MUCH 😭
I LOVE Safe Catch! and Nuun!
You have the best facial expressions in your thumbnails! :) Makes me smile every time. Love your videos!
haha thank you!! 😊

I loved that scenery behind you at the end of the video! So much greenery 😍❤️
I love it too! We got rain a few days before my trip and it made everything bright green!
New subscriber here and loving your channel! I am also from Utah :) I would love to see a video on how you pack a cooler for cold items and also how you organize and pack your gear in your car.
mmmm banana jerky with cinnamon? Sounds amazing.
How much did her dehydrator cost? How long does it take to dehydrate your own meals?
You deserve a lot of views, your videos are great😍😍
Thank you so much!!
❤️💃
Not a fan of moon cheese, nasty shit but the rest of it? 😋
If i ordered all that stuff on Amazon, they would mail it to me individually in large boxes
This was awesome, thanks so much!
how many calories was that for the day?
This is great info thank you
I need a dehydrator

You can also dehydrate food in a normal oven on the lowest setting
Great looking food. You made me. Hungry, again. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it! 😁
Are you filming everything with your gopro?
Yes everything is filmed on the GoPro except for the drone footage.
Who makes the neon yellow collapsible bottle? I want one!
It's the Hydrapak Stash bottle!
Where do you get your bags to rehydrate homemade backpacking meals in (the silver one shown in the video)?
They're called Mylar bags and I get them from PackFreshUSA!

What bags do you use to put your homemade dehydrated meals in that are able to withstand boiling water?
They are Mylar bags from PackFreshUSA.
amandaoutside thank you!
I don’t even go hiking and I enjoy your videos lol.
😂 yay!!
What tent is that?
It's the Nemo Hornet 2-person. We love it!
manufacturers should make packaging that's biodegradable, if they don't already, so you can leave your trash in the wilderness.
Great vid :) Love ur channel !!
Thank you so much!
