Have you thought about doing a video on hiking food? Like meals you can cook on a camping stove with lightweight, long lasting ingredients.

Honestly after hiking just under 1600 miles last year on the Appalachian Trail I'd say you probably aren't gonna wanna cook at the end of the day. I didnt even want to heat up ramen or Knoor pasta and rice sides and that only took about 5-7 minutes. Now I will say a long distance hike where your trying to knock out 20+ miles daily is different than your average hike. After spending 4 1/2 months in the woods I would try to bring alot of dehydrated meals. You can do it yourself. You can add alot of variety. Every meal will be a "just add water" meal so it wont weigh much. I love brothers green but if you want hiker friendly meals check out hiking channels. I love the brothers but if they haven't done any legit hiking they wont know what hikers want to carry and not carry. You want fat, protein and carbs. Some sweet sugary snacks for a quick energy boost but really the carbs are gonna give you energy. If you do really enjoy hiking and cooking. Your best bet would be to do it when the temp drops. That way you can carry food that would normally have to be refrigerated. Just remember you have to pack out what you pack in. Doing the cooking(dehydrating) before hand saves you from having to carry alot of food trash. And that food trash can attract everything from bears to rodents. You'll wake up to a backpack full of holes from the mice chewing their way in to your food(leave all pockets unzipped and open to avoid that). If your just going on a day hike or weekend trip you can just cook the same stuff you normally would eat. I would stick with some sort of rice or pasta. Easy to pack, full of carbs, easy to cook. A little eye dropper size bottle of some sort of cooking oil. Garlic, onion, spam or other canned meat. Granola pre made. Oatmeal and coffee for breakfast. Everything tastes better when its cooked in the woods after a long days hike. It doesnt take much. Basically the longer you're gonna be in the woods the easier you want your cooking to be. If it's just a day hike and your only hiking 5-10 miles you can afford to bring a cast iron pan and a lunch box with freezer blocks sewn into the liner to carry meats and wine and eggs or whatever else( I've never tried those). But if your gonna be out for 3 or more days, cooking a 5 star meal just isn't gonna be a priority. Asking the brothers to make "hiker friendly meals" is just to broad of a question. What you want to eat compared to what you have to feed your body to maintain a healthy living changes greatly based on the time your spending in the woods. Sorry I know that was a long comment. Hope it helped. You might want to start with youtubers "Homade Wanderlust" "following bigfoot" and "Darwin on the Trail" if your looking for hiking food. They're not gonna give you much when it comes to cooking cause like I said most people dont want to add more work to their day especially when you're finishing up and trying to relax. Alot of people "cold soak" their meals Plus if your not near a water source you have to use you're drinking water to cook and wash everything before going to bed and most people would wake up constantly to rehydrate because of a long day hiking and eating food full of carbs so you really dont want to use water that you could be drinking to cook and wash utensils with. I'd hate to say it but the term "hiker food" is sort of glamorized. True hikers know that we dont want to cook and add chores to our evening routine. I knew hikers that would pour cold water into their Idaho instant mash bags mix it and drink it. I couldnt do it . I'd gag just watching em. But again if your just going out for a day hike, depending on the temperature and what your willing to pack in and pack out you can cook virtually anything. When I started my hike I came across a hiker that claimed he started with a wheel Barrow cause he had 110lbs of gear. I had 45 and I was gear heavy so I'm not sure I believe him. But he had multiple utensils. Knife, spoon, fork, spatula, pot, pan. Straws he cut up and filled with spices and melted the ends so he could carry a mini spice rack. When you get to that point you have to ask yourself. Are you in the woods to hike or cook? If your in the woods to hike, you're not gonna wanna carry a bunch of cooking utensils. It's just too much weight. If you love cooking stay home and cook. The 2 unfortunately just dont go together. Again I'm not trying to burst any bubbles here. You're basically gonna want a base weight of no more than 30lbs. Plus 2lbs/day for food and I always carried 2 liters/4lbs of water. Your general health, time of year, duration in the woods, distance to water sources, alone or with others, park rules and regulations and many other factors are gonna determine what you bring and cook. Ultimately you're just trying to find a way to have your weight/nutritional values be as low as possible with weight and as high as possible with nutrition. It's not glamorous. Alot of jerky, prepackaged tuna and spam, ramen, honeybuns, oatmeal, and trail mix. Quick easy and packed with what you need while not adding to much weight. Believe it or not if you're gonna be out there for a bit eating healthy is actually unhealthy. I lost 60lbs in 3 months and I was eating shitty food. I couldnt keep the weight on me to save my life.

Man, every daily harvest bowl he's shown has an incredibly TINY about of food in it - even when bulked up with lamb stock and extra meat like this one (or extra stock like the one on the other video). The concept seems good but they need to like double or triple the amount of food in there. And I'm speaking as a 100 lb female, I can't even imagine a larger male getting more than a few bites of a snack out of those.

Nothing wrong with a bit of meal prep and some fresh food addition options. I batch cook twice a week for variety and prep. As a single person, cooking ends up as prep because cooking a recipe creates several meals if its just on person eating. But, it can serve as dinner, and a couple of leftover lunches and dinner another. I pair any leftovers with fresh food fruits or salad. Salads take a few minutes if you have ingredients on hand. Thats just my experience. I do a bit of both meal prep and fresh pairing.

What I find is that now I'm spending a huge chunk of my weekend making food for my workweek. So now... when do I actually get time to do anything other than cook and work? Especially for people who are way more amateur and will probably take twice as long to come out with meals that are about 50% as good as these turned out. Week nights are spent feeding and caring for kids, then crashing into bed. This is why we wind up eating out way too much. Otherwise, my time just goes down the drain. It sucks.

Another inspiring video, thanks. I'm slowly upping my chef game. I can't thank you enough for the vid you did on broths and stocks because now everything I make is super delicious and it's really given me a lot more confidence in the kitchen. Then techniques like this, where I can cook something great without having to start from scratch every time, are exactly what I need to make this a habit.

Hi Mike! Love your videos. It was so great to see that you made one of your recipes gluten free. But please do realize (also speaking to the viewers) that if you don’t have celiac disease or a gluten allergy, it really isn’t healthier for you to avoid gluten. It could actually be unhealthier to eat gluten free, as there generally are a lot less fiber in gluten free products. By the way, I love your instant pot recipes and hopefully you could make another video about that.

Eat the dehydrated food from the cup. It's good for you. Even though literally my entire channel is about avoiding food in a cup. Trust me.

I'm older and there is too much sugar in a lot of his food. This is fine if you are in your twenties where you will have more energy too burn that much sugar. But as you get older your metabolism slows down and with that much sugar you will gain weight fast and run the risk of diabetes. So making yogurt and pouring a cup of maple sugar into it is not good. Don't get me wrong, I love Mike's cooking and his ideas about cooking, but some of what he is doing in regards to the sugar could be modified.

I know this is 3 years old now, but I'm commenting anyway. Just wanted to say that if you add salt to the oil you pop the popcorn in, then you will get salted popcorn without the graininess of the salt.
