>>2530023>yet another photo of over-packaged, overpriced, highly processed corporate junk food filled with grease, sugar, salt, and chemical additivesThat looks more like my niece's snack stash than actual food. It's the kind of food consumed by people with limited palates who can't cook a hot dog and who eat fast and convenience foods 24/7. Since you sad bastards insist on posting this "real hiker food" rubbish on the regular, here's a blow-by-blow analysis.
>muh sleeves of rice, beans, and spicesBuy the rice, beans, dried chilis, spices, etc. from a Mexican market, package various blends yourself with a vacuum sealer, and save 90% of the cost, produce less packaging waste, enjoy less bulk (all this shit is designed to be shipped and retailed), and enjoy much better taste and quality. Start the beans soaking separately morning, midday, or overnight.
>muh candy bars and power barsFucking LEL. Shit filler ingredients galore. Literally hundreds of quality breakfast bar/energy bar recipes online, most are easy and easily tweaked and don't require master baking skills. Again you save a ton of money and waste, and end up with better nutrition and taste, and the same or higher calories.
>muh Jack Link's, haha sasquatch commercialWhat kind of absolute retard can't find or make higher-quality sausage and jerky than these plastic-coated McCorporate grease and chemical preservative straws?
>muh flavored individual packets of oatmealHoly fucking shit. Buy oatmeal, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom in bulk and literally just bag it yourself. Mix in some powdered milk if desired.
>muh liquid condiment packetsJust fucking bring dry spices and ground dried chilis. All this crying about water weight and here you are wasting it on salty ketchup, you absolute child.
>fish, nutsThese are cool. Still retarded and expensive purchasing and packaging choices, though.
>Jif TO GO!Get or make actual peanut butter and package it yourself.
