Camping Backpacking
Cost effective camping/backpacking food?
I need some suggestions for camping/backpacking food.
It must cover some of these points:
-relatively cheap – as compared to ready-made freeze dried/camping foods (like Mountain House)
-Lightweight – dehydrated, add water only type food etc.
-High energy/calorie content
-Healthy – not too much preservatives , artificial food colours/compounds, saturated fats etc.
-Can be found in major supermarkets like ASDA, Tesco etc.
-Can keep well in a backpack in summer conditions – i.e. not go off/rot/be crushed easily
So far I’ve discovered that peanut butter and flapjacks are a good snaking food for energy.
Instant dried meals like those by the ‘Batchelors’ brand seem ok but contain MSG and other flavour enhancers.
I already have several boxes of Seven OceanS standard emergency rations but they are quite heavy and boring in taste to consume regularly.
Trailmix will allow you to keep energy levels constant and will keep hunger away for quite sometime. I usually fill a gallon zip lock bag to last a weekend. I like to start off with life or wheat thins cereal then add some cashews almonds raisins and then a small bag of mixed dried fruit. Its packed with calories, carbs and protein to keep you going.
As for the dry foods stick with rice and pasta`s. Rice like Uncle ben`s or Rice a Roni are flavored and you just need boiling water. They are light and taste good. You can also just boil water for pasta`s and add some oil and garlic and any seasoning you want. Ramen Noodles are also compact and Light Weight.
You mentioned peanut butter..you should try it the wraps, they`re flat and light. Unlike regular bread it wont get crushed. You can put PB on the wrap then put some powdered hot cocoa and sprinkle some rice krispy cereal on it. It taste exactly like a reese`s peanutbutter cup.
