BACKPACKING & THRU-HIKING MEAL IDEALS
DIY DEHYDRATED BACKPACKING MEALS
Any backpacker can master the art of dehydrating foods. Once you get proficient, it becomes fun to experiment with different foods and flavorings. To really master it, you’ll want to have a food dehydrator, which is far more efficient and better at regulating low temperatures than an oven.
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT COLD SOAKING
Cold soaking is a “no-cook” method of preparing food in the backcountry. Instead of relying on the heat of your stove, you can rehydrate a variety of foods in unheated water for 20 to 30 minutes, resulting in a cold-but-edible meal that can be enjoyed in the backcountry.
HOMEMADE BACKPACKING MEALS, JUST ADD WATER
It’s time to take a leap into the unknown and start making your own backpacking meals. By combining cups of boiling water with ingredients that you can buy at the local grocery store you can create a real meal in the backcountry that has as many calories as you want.
