I add nutritional yeast to almost everything I make, especially potatoes! It has a cheesy flavor and adds Vitamin B12 without carrying too much weight. I also like to add chia, flax, and hemp seeds to oats for added fiber and nutritional value; keeps me fuller longer as well.

One priceless item my friends and I always carried on the PCT back in the late '60's was packets of Milkman instant milk that had some butterfat in it instead of being non fat. After a really hard day on the trail, we would empty a packet of this into wide mouth canteen (before the Nalgene era), and fill with boiling water, and shake. This was about double strength, rich and comforting, and helped relax and sleep well. Something about hot milk really relaxes you. Each of us often did this. I make soaked 9 grain cereal soaked in home made kefir, and include a few other things including dried fruit and nuts, leaving it soak for a week or so in the fridge, then dehydrating it so I have an instant product (nuts and fruits added later). This creates a very high energy breakfast, and I often reconstitute it with dried whole milk (Nestle Nido) included. My LEM dehydrator has been one of the best investments I've made for backpacking. I do many dried meats, dried fruit leather, veggie powder, etc. Noodle dishes can be made up and cooked at home, then dehydrated..... They take no cooking, just hot water like freeze dried foods, and they are personalized. You can also dehydrate cheeses and powder them for a superior product to add to your noodles, and even sauces can be cooked down to a paste consistency and dehydrated and powdered. With meats, I may make them like jerky, or just dehydrate without the intense flavor, always leaving more moisture than is typical, making them pleasant to eat..... I precook using sous vide before dehydrating. This makes it tender, and allows flavors to permeate the meat. Dehydrating scrambled eggs or just the yokes and powdering them makes for a great thickener to enhance other foods. I also find that I can make egg noodles at home that include various powdered veggies, they hold up well compared to the similar products from the store that tend to break up and lack the noodle texture. Noodles are a very powerful food due to the high egg content. There are l countless ways to make meals for backpacking, make them appetizing and nutritious.

Hot cocoa: add cinnamon, coffee crystals, evaporated milk, on cold days margarine. Oatmeal: add raisins, cinnamon, margarine, peanut butter, honey, fried egg. Ramen: raisins, canned chicken or tuna or SPAM, egg, soy sauce, frozen mixed vegetables when you have snow. Mashed potatoes and Stove-top cornbread stuffing mix with canned chicken. Snacks: Spanish peanuts, roasted cashews, sliced almonds, raisins, walnut bits, dried apricots, shelled-roasted-salted sunflower seeds, dark chocolate chips. Beef jerky (4 ounces equals a pound of fresh meat). Be sure to carry salt. In fact, I've started using Salt Substitute for Potassium to prevent leg cramps. Lite Salt combines Salt, Potassium and Magnesium. Spices: I mix ground black pepper, chili powder, granulated garlic and oregano flakes in a shaker. For breakfast a mix of sugar and cinnamon helps. You can skip refined white sugar and use brown sugar or even better dark muscovado sugar.

I try to do a 3 week trip every couple years. I find a road crossing the trail and bury half of my food to resupply and I put a Jello Instant Cheese Cake in the hole for something to look forward to. On the Long Trail in Vermont we calculated incorrectly and ran out of food on the first half. We saved enough bread and cheese for a grilled cheese sandwich the night before the resupply and had no breakfast in the morning. By the time we dug up our food all I could think about was cheese cake and we ate it sitting around the hole while repacking. Definitely the most memorable food I ever ate in the woods. Maybe you had to be there. I have been carrying some combination of cashews, raisins and m&m plus whatever all my life.

On Camino type long distance hikes where we pass through villages on a daily basis I usually bought pain au chocolat (chocolate filled croissant) for my mid morning snack. Lunch would be an artisan style bread /baguette freshly bought in a French or Doanish bakery with butter, cheese, fresh tomatoes (or some baguette type sandwich made up fresh that morning in a village), or a good quality dried meat sausage. Butter and cheese will keep in not too hot weather. I'd mix it up depending on what I felt like eating... Sometimes I'd pack out tuna or salad or other foods depending on my mood. All relatively heavy-ish but I pack light otherwise so it's worth the weight for me.

You had me at Ra-men Noddles :) Your videos always makes my day. Keep them coming Dixie! One of my best tricks on thru hikes is packing up in the morning, have a quick bar and just start hiking to get the body warm. I am an early starter and I found eating breakfast in camp in the cold mornings not too fun and hard to digest. So I would hit the trail and then wait for the sun to rise a bit and have breakfast in a nice sunny spot (even better with a view) down the trail. I can usually get an hour or two of mileage before craving a proper breakfast. Not for everyone but it works great for me. Another bonus is passing all the other campers on trail still sleeping or packing up - hour or so later they would catch up to me sitting at my nice sunny spot eating. Say hello and offer them some hot coffee or tea. Nice way to make trail friends.

A great backpacking food resource, especially if you have 3-4 people in a group is the NOLS (National Outdoor Leadership School) cookbook. Amazing meals of all kinds and all well tested. For me the big breakthrough was the "spice bag" consisting of a few select spices and vinegar which, when used to create the recommended sauces and spice combination made the bland base foods really good. Check it out. Also, I do a lot of touring ocean kayaking. Gear weight (within reason) is less of an issue than volume. I make packets of pre-assembled ingredients for a meal, and often augment it with sea food: clams, oysters, fish, lobster, crab; or with black berries, salal berries, or goose berries. I remember one epic meal of clam coppino followed by black berry cobbler, baked in the suprb and light weight Banks Fry Bake pan with main ingredients gathered at the little island where we were camped on the northern BC coast. I know this is off topic, but .......

I dehydrate my own dinners and this is defiantly one I will have each time I go out.

The issue for rice cakes on a thru hike is there size to calories. A large pack of them only has less then 500 calories, but takes a lot of room. A problem if you have 5 or more days and need all your food to go in a bear bag/box.

My recipe for bean burritos: 1 can refried beans, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 t salt, 1/4 t garlic powder, 1/2 t Tabasco sauce. Add 1 small can chopped green chilies. Heat on stove and spread thin on parchment paper or plastic sheet that comes with a dehydrator. Dehydrate. On the trail I rehydrate (played around with amount of water, about 1/4 cup and 2 oz bean mix) with hot water. I ended up cooking it after it rehydrated for a few seconds because it rehydrated better (fully) that way. Spread it on a flour tortilla and any kind of cheese and eat. They are delicious and taste the same as fresh made if you cook the beans for better rehydration (not really important on the trail and when you are starving so can omit doing that). I used mostly cheddar chunks cut from a 1 lb. block that I carried but you can use those string cheese sticks or any other type of your favorite cheese. Absolutely delicious meal.

Breakfast is Pumpkin spiced oatmeal with chia seeds and pumpkin seeds and we add some tropical muesli with coconut, sunflower seeds, dried strawberries and macadamia nuts. Finally, I have hikes hundreds of miles and have never had to wash my pot, I use zip lock freezer quart bags because they can handle boiling water . Every thing I eat can be cooked like that, cause I'm not out there to wash dishes! Love your videos:)

I do understand being unable to ever eat anything again. For me it’s bologna (one summer it’s all we had to eat for three months as a kid), and anything out of my 8th grade packed lunch. That was mini bagel with cream cheese, carrot stick, crunchy pretzels, and apple juice. The thought of any of those things still turns my stomach. Every single day for an entire school year, that was it. I’ve never tired of ramen noodles, though. I hope I never tire of peanut butter. Cliff bars are another “never again” for me. I ate way too many of those, Luna Bars, any bar really, while in the military. I can’t even think about eating a cliff bar.

Spoiled West Virginian I am, anytime we go camping or hiking, it’s pepperoni rolls! You can google them - it’s our state food and originated due to Italian immigrant coal miners needing a handheld snack that didn’t require refrigeration! It’s basically a bread roll baked with either stick, sliced or ground pepperoni at minimum, and the fancy ones have cheese and sometimes we add chili or peppers. They are true goodness, as any West Virginian knows, and they can hang out for a few days to a week without spoiling. They’re in every gas station here, but surrounding states forbid their sale due to the cheese and meat being unrefrigated. (Wussies). Dixie, lemme know a spot and date on the CDT when a crate of fresh baked ‘roni rolls might bounce your way!

I found Army issue boil in the bag rations great for multi day hikes if you can get hold of them, they are scientifically designed to provide you with the nutrients you need to be active and pack plenty of calories. They also reduce water consumption as you can boil them up for a meal and use the hot water for a tea or coffee. The down side however is weight, because they are already hydrated they are heavy so I don't recommend carrying one bag for every meal. I generally carry 1 per day as it is a solid fuel source and make up the rest of my food with dry goods as much as possible. I also often eat the boil in the bag for breakfast, regardless of what it is, as it gives you a lot of fuel for the day ahead. Thanks again for the videos.

I'm "just" (a simple) day hiker. I like my peanut butter filled pretzels. My dog likes them too. :) (BTW, I don't think Perk was too off base with the thing re: oatmeal, cream of wheat, etc digesting at different times. Cream of wheat is a simple carb and oatmeal is a complex carb, so the cream of wheat would digest first. But I think grits are a simple carb too.)

Your time would be better spent accessing the internet and search corn and wheat nutritional content.

I love good food on the trail. I will do/have done the hard work of all the miles, I want a delicious, interesting, satisfying meal - especially for dinner. For me it was worth the time and effort to get a dehydrator and really learn how to use it. Then I built an arsenal of recipes so I can have very different things every day and easily not repeat for a week or more. At home, I like all different kids of food, so it is important to me to be able to scratch similar itches on the trail like mexican food night, asian food night, etc. So when others are breaking out their umteenth pack of ramen, I am having chicken tangene wraps or tamale pie. Yummmmy. Specific suggestions: I use and like the Lipsmackin Backpackin series of books a lot. I have many others that I make meals from, but they are a common and reliable go-to. Use couscous for breakfast in sweet (vs savory) applications. It's easy, works great, and packs in some calories. make or buy powdered breakfast smoothies. It is a big shot of taste and calories to add to the oatmeal. Thanks Dixie. You're the best!

@@williambranham6249 I got sick of them real fast when I sectioned hiked. Wouldn't eat them. I only had the brown sugar ones. The rolled oats (not precooked) don't take all that long to cook (suggests 5 minutes) but they can probably be cooked for 1 minute and taste ok. Maybe a little crunchy but that doesn't bother me. I eat them right out of the container, uncooked. I like the taste of oatmeal (oatmeal cookies, yummy !). Grits are ok, too. But I eat those plain, cooked. Most add butter or milk. I just like a lot of foods plain, no sauces or butter (spices, yes) and hate all the sugar added to processed foods. My problem backpacking was that I prefer fresh food and avoid processed sugary, too salty processed foods. Those are the foods that are killing everyone now but what most backpackers eat an abundance of due to weight and cooking time (saving fuel). Also processed foods have a lot of calories. Hard to get enough eating broccoli, asparagus, apples, bananas, and apricots while hiking !

As you described these recipes, some of them sounded like I might like them and some did not. Quite a few seemed alien to any experience that I ever had or would want to have. I had a lot of experience backpacking during the '70's and "80's in the Passayten Wilderness Area of central Washington and on the River of No Return in Idaho. I liked to eat Rice A Roni, Stove Top stuffing, and powdered instant mashed potatoes. If I had tinned chicken or beef, I oft times would mix some with the Rice A Roni. I carried fishing gear and a .22 pistol for to procure additional protein in the form of trout and grouse. I never made a pig of myself, but just took what I could eat for that day or perhaps a trout for breakfast the next day. A body straining under a load at high altitude needs to repair a lot of muscle and needs protein to do it. When I first bought my Camp Trails 3/4 frame pack in '72, I also bought a lot of Mountain House freeze dried foods. That was the first and the last year that I did that because the prices of them tripled by the summer of '73. Running from north to south along the western edge of the Passayten Wilderness area is the Pacific Crest Trail. My first time upon it, I just crossed over it from the Boundary Trail in '79 and then dropped away down to the Three Fools area, Lightening Creek, and ultimately to the shore of Ross Lake. What I saw there ultimately inspired me to buy the canoe which I still own to this very day and have much used and loved. The second time I hit the Pacific Crest Trail was in "81 when I intersected it at the same place as in '79. In "81 I took the Pacific Crest Trail due south to Hart's Pass and then to Rainy Pass on Highway 20 and on south to where I branched off to Stehekin at the north end of Lake Chelan. There I took a luxurious bath in the lake and then took the tourist boat Lady of the Lake to the bustling tourist metropolis of Chelan. There I stayed overnight in a hotel and then took the bus to Oroville where my car was parked at a friend's house. From there I drove home about 20 miles. On that day when I got to Lake Chelan, I stopped for a hour for to eat huckleberries. They were so delicious that I got some idea of what it is like to be an addict. I was very aware of the departure time of the Lady of the Lake and was also very aware of a huge black bear that was also gorging himself on the huckleberries. I guess we both knew that there was plenty for both of us and that we could get along. it was very hard to tear myself away and get down the trail.

One of my favorite dinners, one of the dinners that always made me happy despite whatever the AT had to throw at me, was Stove Top cornbread stuffing with bacon bits & dried veggies. One bag of stuff normally made 2 meals. Even when I was consuming almost 6000 calories while doing 14 mile days thru The Whites. I used the real bacon bits & would order 8oz bags of dried veggies of Amazon. Mix them all together, then add water & wait!!! 5 minutes later & with some stirring, you have an amazing meal! I thru hiked the AT in 2018 and I leave April 1st to hike the PCT. I'm definitely going to pack out different foods depending on the section. Yet, after completing one thru hike, I know I can drastically vary what I'm eating depending on where I am. If I want avocados & spinach, I'm carrying avocados & spinach!!! Lmao Tough resupply options on the AT really made use my imagination on how to get calorie rich food while it still being something I'd actually like to eat. I dont eat in the first place & I'm done with (jar) peanutbutter too. I appreciate the videos & will keep watching! Hammocker-for-life! - Shepard

Foraging is an incredible skill to have if you do enough research. It'll allow you to at the very least find some tasty, fresh, local plants to add to what you pack. Even if you only pack the same flavour of ramen, you'll find new stuff to add every day. Just gotta learn foraging separate from thru hiking because it's not the kind if thing you wanna guess at on trail.

I'm looking at cold soaking most of my meals so this will be a convenient way to get some additional protein. That said, I'm still going to carry a stove, just not a traditional camp stove as I've found lighter weight options and I only plan on cooking once every 3-4 days. As I'm doing research on foods I can hike with I'm surprised by how heavy some food is.

If you get the can of it and repack it, it is better, at about $4 per pack, but the same calories from instant oatmeal will cost $1. If you are going out for a week of backpacking, an extra $6 per day for a nice breakfast is nothing, but for the 150+ day thru hike, it is an extra $900.
