[93 / 17 / ?]
Going on a little 4 day hike next week and currently prepping the food for it.
I don't go on multi day hikes nearly as often as I should so it never became much of a problem, but I've noticed I'm almost always making pretty much the same food, so I thought maybe a thread to see what other anons bring and eat while /out/ would be fun.
Picrel is the prep for me, I'm bringing:
>Snacks
Salted honey glazed cashews
Plantain chips
Mini salami
Dried berries/trail mix
>Breakfast
Overnight oats, either chocolate flavored or vanilla&cinnamon berry flavor
Coffee
>Dinner
Couscous with meat and spices
Creamy chili oil ramen with an egg
All of these can be cold soaked, which I used to do for a while, but these days I often prefer cooking it properly instead, a warm meal just feels more substantial for some reason. I also really like falafel with egyptian salad filling, but that requires fresh ingredients (cucumber, tomato and onion) as well as requiring you to cook it. Fine for backpacking as long as you eat it on day 1 though.
If I'm in the mood I like to make some homemade jerky or fruit leather, but those are more prep work. If I'm hiking near rivers or lakes I might take the fishing pole and a few potatoes and just cook those on a fire too.
What do you anons like to take? I want to diversify my meals for trips after this one.
Assume backpacking not car camping, so weight should be kept reasonable.
