PB wrap with baked bbq lays and peanut m&ms, two a day for 1800 miles 🤤

I got sick of tuna for lunch really early on in my hike, around 400 miles, so I switched to peanut butter based wraps for the last chunk. I also didn't feel like making hot dinner during the peak summer so there was a solid month where this, or another variation of it, was 90% of my diet and I'd eat 4 a day.

What's a vitamin?

Just stumbled on this sub and had to submit one of our more memorable trail lunches. We wanted something to take with us on a day hike. Looking around our stuff we did not find much. Turns out that peanut butter and sardines wrapped in pancakes make for a very tasty cold lunch. Calories are there as well as protein. Well, tasty maybe because we were hungry at that point...

Cooked pancakes at camp, cold on the road.

Boil water, make coffee like drink, enjoy?

I’m not on a hike right now but these are basically just like those fillo walking tamale, so good 😋 u can eat straight from pouch they’re shelf stable

I’ve been buying way too many packaged backpacking meals and figured I should try making my own. I don’t need anything complicated, just something that can handle small batches of meat, vegetables, and cooked meals without taking forever.

My current test meal is chili mac. I cook 1 cup macaroni, mix in 1/2 cup cooked ground beef, 1/2 cup canned tomato sauce, 1/4 cup beans, and chili seasoning, then dehydrate it in a thin layer until everything is dry. On trail I put it in my pot with enough boiling water to cover, wait about 10 to 15 minutes, then stir and eat. One pot, one spoon, no real cleanup. Would love to hear what dehydrator you’ve had good luck with. Thanks!

Massive 'deens! Very enjoyable. My tin had 4 in it with plenty of sauce and spice. Will pack again.

Who doesn’t love a crunchy chili shepherds pie?

I’m eating this delicious junk from my couch instead of the trail because I broke my damn leg. Know what’s almost as hard as hiking with crutches? Cooking with crutches!

Tortilla, crunchy peanutbutter and sourcream & onion chips (not optional).

Do you really need anything more?

It's from a Hellenika Cultured Creamery ice cream container. I recommend the ube flavor because it hides the cultured yogurt taste a bit. I kinda like the flavor? It's a bit weird though... You can pick them up at Pike Place, Town and Country, or Whole foods near Seattle. Not sure if they're sold outside of Seattle.

I don't know if it will fit in a 750 cup (it's 1-2mm bigger than a 250g iso can, so it would be tight). I don't have one to try, 750 is too big for just me, but too small for 2 people imo. I can say it does not fit in a 600 cup, and it does fit (diameter-wise at least) in an Imusa cup.

The deliciousness of a deli sandwich with the convenience of trail food! The pickles were in a little single serving (well technically 3 servings, but one trail serving) pouch.

Electrolytes, instant coffee, and pure maple syrup. It'll get you over the passes no problem. FORGIVE ME.

Cabot Vermont Sharp cheddar, beef summer sausage, crispy onions, hot honey, yellow mustard, mayo. Upscale take on a classic.

Sweet&Spicy tuna, Skippy peanut butter, soy sauce, sriracha, and a little bit of coconut milk powder. Mix it all up in the packet. Add some more peanut butter and sriracha on before wrapping it up. Better than I thought it would be. Enjoy, you sickos.

Bought a tin on clearance for trail snacks just to realize I don't care for the flavor on its own, but I think they could work mixed with something else to make them taste a little better and to bump up the calories.

Only thing I've come up with so far is adding them to a peanut noodle/ramen bowl so I'll happily take any suggestions you guys have 💜

I found these little Tamales packets at my local grocery store and invented this corn-bean-cheese wrap. I used:
- 1 dempsters protein tortilla
- 2 mini slices of baldersons aged cheddar
- 1 walking tamales pack
- mayo

I would highly recommend adding hot sauce but honestly there were pretty great. Here’s my estimated macros:
~608 calories
~30g of protein
~58g of carbs
~30g of fat
~10g of fibre

you could also double up the tortillas to up calories and protein if you want!

i eat some version of this with different spices almost every night- pictured is spicy garlic but curry is the best combo probably. i pack curls+couscous together, hydrate & then mix in honey+coconut oil (packed together in DIY vacuum packets).

Dry soy curls 280cal- 70g- 4cal/g

Instant couscous 320cal- 85g- 3.76cal/g

Coconut oil 240cal- 28g- 8.5cal/g

Honey 120cal- 28g- 4.3cal/g

Total= 960 calories for 240g

Idahoan instant mashed potatoes, bacon bits, peppered jerky leftovers, butter powder, Cabot sharp cheddar. Make potatoes as directed on pouch or as to your soupiness preference. Came together quickly after a long day and hit the spot.

Really not bad to be honest. 6/10 could have bumped it up with a mayo packet or another mustard.

GNP Northern loop day 1

I made this dish using 1 cup of water, and technically it started as 7 packs. I sorted the raisins and almonds from 2 trail mix pouches last night.

End of the season food box creativity continues, and this time I checked the pantry inside, too. I found a Vietnamese coffee packet my wife brought back from Korea years ago, and a long forgotten and rock hard pack of granola bites.

I started by mixing everything except the almonds and granola bites in the bowl with my fork. The oatmeal calls for 1/3rd cup water each, and I just bumped it up to and even cup for all the extra shit. I stirred in the boiling water really well, also with the fork. Next went in the granola bites, and lid on for 15 minutes. Ran my Mora through the almonds and made a nice cup of coffee while it soaked, then topped with the almonds and enjoyed.
