Can anyone name off some good camping/backpacking foods that Im forgetting to mention on my list? Thanks!?
So yea basically here are the rules.
1) Nothing super heavy.
2) Nothing that requires refrigeration.
3) No freeze dried foods (gross!)
Some other things to keep in mind, this is going to be a 12 day backpacking trip (thats why nothing super heavy.) We will have a fresh supply of water near by at all times so we can use that to cook things. However, campfires are not allowed. Finally we have a pot & pan that can be used to cook over a portable stove top. Heres what we have so far, please dont bother suggesting any junkfood (we already have that covered):
Oatmeal
Pancakes
Potatoe Pancakes
Trail Mix
Nuts
Fruit/dried fruit
Granola Bars
Tuna (the kind thats vacuum sealed in a bag)
Pasta/small thing of sauce
Rice
Potates
Corn
Ramen Noodles
Bread
Crackers
Peanut Butter
Various Vegetables
Popcorn
Fruit leather
Beef Jerky
Please list as many things as you can think of, whoever can list the most conventional and useful ones will get 10pts. Thanks
Are those veggies canned or de-hydrated? You said you don’t like freeze-dried stuff, but you can dehydrate the veggies yourself and save some weight.
Everything else looks pretty good. It’s mostly what I would take…if I was avoiding freeze-dried foods. Personally, I like them. If I wasn’t taking them, then your list looks pretty good.
I would skip the Potato Pancakes only because I don’t like to cook anything while I’m backpacking that involves using the frying pan. I like one-pot meals or things I can just re-hydrate…I’m also lazy and hate big clean-ups.
I’d skip the popcorn too….I’m assuming it’s like Jiffy Pop and you plan to pop it while you are camping? I wouldn’t take it because I’d have to pack out the foil pan after I was done with it. To me, it’s just one more piece of trash I’d have to deal with…but it’s your back, and I have to admit…hot popcorn is kinda nice.
You can take loose granola and mix it in with your trail mix and dried fruit and thus eliminate the need to take granola bars too…plus you eliminate the excess wrappers from the individually wrapped bars.
What are you planning to drink besides water?
I take tea bags and coffee bags usually. I also have a backpacking style french press. I also have drink mix. Hot cocoa is nice too.
I’d take some squeeze cheese and some small sausages or pepperoni…it goes nice with the crackers.
Otherwise….bon appitite!
