>>367929Don't bring instant rice. Bring normal rice. It takes a few more minutes, but is a million times more satisfying.
>>367934Mah niggah. Things to consider putting through that Dehydrator include pasta sauce, meats, greens, fruits...
>>367980It has a shelf life of less than a year, especially on the trail. Fat goes rancid. Not HORRIBLE, but it tastes that way. As a DIY emergency food source, sure...as delicious eats, no. Also, Pemican is made with meat, fat, and BERRIES.
>>368049so not "yogurt" but "sugar coated raisins".
>>368174That's not Pemmican. And Don't fucking use Nutella. It's nothing but bad oils. You want chocolate in there? Put in chocolate chips. Melt chocolate into it. Stir in cocoa.
>>368249That's not /out/ accessable. Cottage cheese? Replace the eggs with powdered eggs and you have something...but you'll have to leave out the dairy completely.
Anyway. The most important thing to consider when debating backpacking food.
Is it something that's fresh, and goes bad quickly, like eggs, fresh cheeses, milk? Leave it home. Replace it with dehydrated versions. Powdered eggs suck, but they do the job. Powdered milk is acceptable. Hard cheeses are fine on the trail. And you can get tetrapacks of dairy products now...if you want real cream in your coffee, consider getting a shelf stable carton of whipping cream.
If you're going out for a week or less, you can solve a lot of your issues by freezing some of your later foodstuffs and using that to preserve the first few meals. Ice chests aren't all these giant bulky things anymore. A few frozen steaks, fish, whatever, will keep for several days in a "lunch bag" when properly wrapped and bags, and will keep fresher cheeses, yogurts, and the like safe for a few days.
Going out longer than that? The food dehydrator is your friend. Just avoid things with lots of oil...dehydrate tomato based pasta sauces. Steer clear of cheese and meat based sauces. Carry along a lump of parmesian.
