Stoveless Backpacking Meals for a 4-Day Trip

[@JayMorrisonOutdoors]

A completely stoveless backpacking trip may seem a little crazy, but sometimes a little craziness is what you need when you're hiking on a dry trail! Plus, all of this food was significantly cheaper than getting dehydrated meals - so that's a win! Thanks for watching!

Great video. I pretty much eat the same stuff in the warmer months. You gotta get yourself some pre cooked bacon for those wraps with the chicken and tuna!!! And an avocado if you don't mind the weight . Game changer.

[@JayMorrisonOutdoors]

OH SNAP! That sounds like a fantastic suggestion -- thanks!

[@ItsGoodintheWoods]

@@JayMorrisonOutdoors BOOM!!

[@johnallen3111]

Dan had ranch packets and bacon bits for his chicken ... that looked good ... definitely bringing avacado on my next trip

[@Martin-si6er]

No cold soaking, love it, thanks for another great episode.

[@JayMorrisonOutdoors]

I tried cold soaking once -- ONCE -- it was awful LOL ;)

[@OutsideChronicles]

Great suggestions, very timely for my 8-day paddling trip.

[@JayMorrisonOutdoors]

An 8-day paddling trip sounds amazing --- enjoy!

[@OutsideChronicles]

@@JayMorrisonOutdoors I am excited for it, 8-days on on the Allagash River and then staying an extra couple to climb Mt. Kahtadin.

[@loaferx5409]

That's a pretty perfect menu. I wouldn't change a thing.

[@JayMorrisonOutdoors]

It worked pretty well for me. I would change out the BBQ chicken creations with some more buffalo chicken, and probably do some Swedish Fish instead of 1/2 the M&Ms ... but those are pretty minor alterations overall!

[@miken7629]

Peanut butter & M&M's are good in tortillas. The peanut butter is like glue and holds the M&M's. Also Peanut Butter & raisins are good too, a jelly substitute.

[@JayMorrisonOutdoors]

Great idea!

[@jessicathompson236]

You can get single serve jelly/jam packets like the peanut butter (you can even get dual packets of peanut butter and chocolate or peanut butter and jelly) honey too.

[@cjscarborough83]

It’s always a struggle to know how much food to bring, especially on multi day trips. I’ve brought too much and I’ve not brought enough. Good luck on the tct!

[@JayMorrisonOutdoors]

Very true! Thanks for watching!

[@adkhiker46bill14]

I look forward to see how you make out without a stove. I think I would miss my coffee. :-)

[@JayMorrisonOutdoors]

Wasn't bad ... I'm not a coffee drinker, but I did miss a warm breakfast on day 4 because it was coooooolllldd ;)

[@jessicathompson236]

I still have coffee on no cook days 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@stigcc]

@@jessicathompson236 Instant coffee and cold water?

[@jessicathompson236]

@@stigcc , Plus cocoa in a bottle yes. (But I would often leave my water in the sun for a while)

Looks like KZbin is back to unwilling unsubscribing people from channels, but just resubscribed. This was a problem some you KZbinrs experienced a few years back. Good choice on the Pro bars. They’re the only “trail bar” I’m not sick of

[@JayMorrisonOutdoors]

I had never had the Probars before this year, but they we're on a fantastic deal in Jan/Feb, so I picked up a box of them and give them a try. I was very happy with them - so much so, in fact, I may be willing to pay the regular price for them when it comes time to restock. Thanks for watching, and welcome back ;)

[@Snitchols]

O, giving me ideas for the CL50, minus the stoveless idea.

[@JayMorrisonOutdoors]

Hah! Yea --- CL50 is going to have plenty of water, and we'll probably need to get some hot meals in us since it'll be October ;)

[@D34DKM]

What can you tell me about that shirt!? Cold River is one of my favorite places in the park. I've read just about everything I can get my hands on about Noah John Rondeau.

[@JayMorrisonOutdoors]

It's actually one of my own designs that you can find in the ADK Woods Walker merch shop. When we hiked the section of the NPT from Long Lake to Lake Placid, we spent a good chunk of time swimming and enjoying the Cold River, so I created the design. You can get your a shirt or sticker here: shop.spreadshirt.com/adkwoodswalker/cold+river

[@Dean11772]

Dude...how about some fiber!?

[@JayMorrisonOutdoors]

I was pretty well set with the peanut butter. Peanut butter contains more dietary fiber per serving than whole peanuts and is a good source of both soluble and insoluble fiber.

[@Dean11772]

Cool, my brother and nephew and I are thinking about that trail so I'm looking forward to seeing your trip especially the water sources

[@coltonbaker4694]

Lost me at poptarts

[@jessicathompson236]

Don't eat them if you don't like them. There are a ton of choices in the world.

[@johnallen3111]

I have no idea how this was enough for you...

[@JayMorrisonOutdoors]

LOL that's because you need 4lbs of snacks every day or you become Silent John ;)

[@johnallen3111]

@@JayMorrisonOutdoors its 3.75 lbs thank you! And it's taken me a while to dial that in!

[@johnallen3111]

@@JayMorrisonOutdoors you didn't even bring a banana and fresh raspberries .... tsk tsk

[@JayMorrisonOutdoors]

That's progress, I suppose ;)

[@jakesaari7765]

Why make a video if you are going to recommend eating pop tarts for breakfast? Little creativity, high quality camera but really, this doesn’t help very much.

[@JayMorrisonOutdoors]

Thanks for watching anyway

[@jessicathompson236]

Dude it's simple, if you don't like them, don't eat them. Choose something else. There are so many choices in the world.

[@jessicathompson236]

My go to breakfast for a no cook hike is a couple of chunky monkey wraps and a chocolatey coffee shake.
