Food
Choosing what to eat on the trail is a topic of much debate. It covers everything from nutritional requirements, weight, ease of cooking, and even alternatives for specific diets.
We are not experts but we can share what we’ve learned along the way, our favorite recipes and the energy products that have saved us on many occasions.
YOUR FUEL
Ideas
Breakfast
The most important meal of the day should be nourishing to fuel your activities. Our top pick: cooked oatmeal!
Lunch
We prefer quick lunches like sandwiches or wraps in case we need to eat them on-the-go.
Dinner
Your dinner will depend on whether you can cook or not. Dehydrated or pre-cooked meals are good options.
Drinks
Water, energy and electrolyte drinks are lifesavers on the trail. We try to avoid brands with lots of added sugar.
Snacks
Never forget to eat between meals! Trail mix is the most practical alternative. We try to always make our own to keep it healthy.
Energy
We never leave without energy gels, energy beans, energy powders or energy drinks.
The amount of food and water you need on the trail depends on many factors.
Never assume that you won’t need to carry anything. The most common accidents on the trail happen to people who are unprepared—this includes not having proper sustenance.
BLOG
We want to make room for the people who want to adventure but don’t necessarily want to take it to an extreme level.
