Traditional Hiking Food

“Just got done shopping for food for this weekend's trip, and ended up getting things I wouldn't nromally think of bringing (hiking at least).

Stuff for...
-Bagel humous cucumber tomato onion sammich
-Tortilla tuna swisscheese avacado lemonjuice sammich
-Apples, banannas
-salad in bag, broccoli & cauliflower
-chicken chunks in a bag,
-etc. etc. and so on and so forth.

I dont' want to cook that much, and frankly, I want to eat real food at any cost/weight. Can I get a witness???”

“fresh fruit is awesome on the trail. the only thing better than carrying fresh fruit in is eatint the apples off the tree on tar jacket ridge.”

“eatint=eating”

“Mmmm-just remembering fresh wild blueberries in early sept. in the Smokies. Happy happy!”

“Wow is my pack heavy! Next trip, I'm going back to dehydrated crap. Of course , there's not much I could've done with such short notice...and NO place that sells dehydrated meals in the remote vicinity.

Can't wait to eat!”

“I prefer to transform a dusty little baggie of nondescript chunks & powder into a delicious, nutritious meal.

I can get real food anytime. Backpacking is an opportunity for culinary magic.”

“Summer is a great season for the non-stove bakpacker's pantry. Who needs a big hot dinner when it's 75F? The heavy food can be offset by the missing weight of the winter gear.

(Although the above sounds good, I still like the Enertia dehydrated dinners and a little java in the morning.)”

“That stuff sounds YUMMY. (well, except the onions).

It'll be worth the extra weight.”

“Eat the bananas at the trail head. (imho)”

“One thing you could do is use the dry stuff and after you cook it, roll it in lawash bread or pita. Might give you the varitey your looking fer....”

“1 can of Spam at any cost!”

“I love to have an apple a day on the trail. It is well worth the weight. The only problem in Montana was that Sarabella and Gizmo turned up their noses at the cores & I had to pack them out.”

“thats easy. I eat all the apple except the stem. Its easy to pack out. 8D”

“I know that this is going to sound bad but, I leave the cores for the birds and other critters to eat. I don't see it as littering because something will eat it and I don't throw it right on the trail usaully 50 yeards or so off the trail.”
