Food and Food Storage

Dinner. For simplicity, choose freeze-dried food that requires just a few cups of boiling water and 10 minutes of wait time. Gourmands or those with access to a food dehydrator can make more creative trail meals.

Rest of the day. Some backpackers take time to cook breakfast; others save time with ready-to-eat items. Lunch can be a meal or several breaks for snacks such as trail mix, jerky, dried fruit, chunks of cheese and energy foods (bars, chews and gels).

Coffee. Lightweight French coffee presses do, in fact, exist.

Food storage. Never leave food lying around unattended. You’ll likely lose it, and animals become less inclined to forage in a natural manner again. Carry a food canister or learn how to hang food to protect your edibles (and any aromatic items) from critters.
