What do you guys do for food on backpacking trips? I'm specifically soliciting advice on healthier prepared (as opposed to pre-packaged) meals that are filling but light on the digestive system, I am poor so can't afford freeze dried whatever, just need some recipes that won't make me shit my pants since I have IBS and am poor and retarded.

post your climbed mountains map

here's mine

I recently got my bachelor's in history from my local university, honestly even though I'm qualified for office jobs and stuff, I'd rather have a farm in Tennessee and grow weed and shrooms and opium and DMT (if the climate of Tennessee allows to grow DMT containing compounds), and raise chicken and sell eggs and sell fruits and vegetables, and power my farm home with renewable energy like solar panels.

If you are a hunter or angler you now possess the power to bring back two species. Game or fish. You can only pick one category.
>you may pick two species
>one will not displace or harm an ecosystem
>it will be available to pursue by yourself and the public in its traditional range and sustain itself
>the other will be only for you in an environment which it lived
>you will have a one time pursuit of it with sufficient resources
>either species may be living or extinct

What are your choices?

I've Never Done That Before. Also Merry christmas.

Thoroughly clean all of your gear once you get home. Never leave it dirty. It is a slow and relaxing process almost meditative. Do not leave your gear dirty as a performance to other men. Maintain your kit.

Is it possible to hike in North Korea? It's mountain ranges are basically prime backpacking territory and peaceful solitude.

Anybody ever paddle the Erie Canal?

Slept on a lock in Brockton for a roadtrip last year and the idea has stuck in my head ever since. Never kayaked such a distance before so any advice would be appreciated. Planning for late august 2026/2027

Mainly how do you handle the car? My current plan is to drive to buffalo, drop my shit somewhere private, park at the airport, and take an uber to the canal. Then when I finish hide my shit, fly/bus back to buffalo, and drive back to Albany to grab my stuff. That seems like a ton of work but I don't have any contacts in the region or friends willing to drive that much just to pick me up/drop me off

as a semi-shut-in i spend a lot of my time going to random cool/pretty places on google earth and yearning for exploration

Me and some friends have this dream of walking from Seattle to Miami. I'm currently working through the logistics of the trip. Our current plan involves 15 hours of walking a day, well have packs with pad sleeping bag and mainly just a lot of water, we only want to carry enough food to get to the next place we can buy more with a little extra just in case. Timing wise the summer after we graduate is looking like the most likely time to do it. Heat wise I'm not really concerned about the Washington through Wyoming section of the journey, we've all done lots of intensive summer backpacking before, I've worked 10 hour shifts in 100+ degree weather before. I am however worried about Nebraska onwards. I'm from the mountain west and have no real experience with humidity which i am told makes things entirely different. a conservative estimate would have us at the Wyoming Nebraska border by the end of July and in Miami mid September, but we will likely be moving faster than this. Is covering this region on foot in this time of year doable or will our plans have to change?
